My uncle explained to me once why those 2-cylinder engines were unstoppable. Because it's only two cylinders the bore/pistons were much larger and the stroke much longer than those of 4/6 cylinder tractors. As he, and many other people, said: "that force has to go somewhere."

Thanks Mark!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy watching. I think you are feeling calm and relaxing vibes from my faith in God and Jesus Christ. You would like to watch this I think. goodandevilbook.com/english/ or goodandevilbook.com/languages/

Just gotta love the ol Johnny Popper

I'm 78 and from South Western Indiana and we had about the same setup on the farm as you. Maybe start a go fund me so he an get a 70 year old 2 row picker. What a step up that would be.

Love your video

l'm doing my best to carry on the tradition.🤠

Thank you Curious Earth Man!

Thanks for the kind words Roger!

Hey Irish! l Love turning the soil too!

Thanks Charles, good to hear from you!

I agree Richard, It's the best way of life, especially for bringing up a family.

Thanks Reuben, good to hear from you!

A 620 can handle a lot of work.🤠

Ha Ha, l'll keep goin' as long as l'm able!

Thanks! lt's great to hear from other guys who are keeping the old superior corn varieties going.

Yep modern hybrid corn bred for max yield of starch, for energy/fermentation. Protein is what you BUY to add with it (soybean meal) LOL:) OR you can go with the hierloom stuff that produces the way it was intended to...

Good to hear from you Joe!

I have a 530 not sure the difference what that diifrence is.

@mikeherber8358 Cool! My parents bought an orange grove when I was a kid and the John deere came with it. I ran it for many years, bushhogging the Johnson grass and grading the dirt road in the orange grove. These tractors were a stop-gap design before the introduction of the "new generation" line was introduced. Basically, the difference was the size and horse power of the machine. My tractor has a wide front axle, but my understanding is that the "W" refers to "row crop/utility."

Glad you enjoyed it

Great to hear from you Greg! Glad you liked it.

Thanks 👍

Thank you Scott! lt's a great way of life.

Yes, Thanks!

Hey Gary! Yeah, the weather conditions in our region varied greatly, we had great rains at the right times, others not far from us were dry. l'm glad the corn there did so well. l did not have a great experience with no till any time l tried it with my corn, minimum till is about what l can make work. lt was great to hear a harvest report from you!

Wow you in Texas?? We went four months with no rain here... powderhouse!

@@lukestrawwalker , no sir. We are in Iowa

@@tractortalkwithgary1271 wow didn't know y'all got that dry, what part of Iowa? I love Iowa, had a girlfriend up in Clarion back in the late 90's... Beautiful state. Got inlaws now in northern Indiana, helped on their corn/bean farm for a number of years

@@lukestrawwalker , we are up in the northeastern part of the state. We had several small rains all around us . We had .02 inches in 4 months here. The crops had to have survived on sub- soil moisture. We will see what next year brings us.

Amen brother!

1 row on dry ground, that 620 had a cake walk. I'm sure it would holler if it was not as perfect of weather. 👍

l guess l just got good aim. 😁Really, l'm thinking the electric motor doesn't turn it as fast so the corn doesn't get thrown far.

Hey Bradley, l honestly don't know what model it is, I'll see if l can read it on the serial # tag.

Good eye!

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 I have some experience with "experienced" equipment. 😂

Proud to have you in the viewing audience!

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 Thank you Bill, I subscribed to your channel and I'm all set. Cold weather headed your way, have a good weekend !

@@lovedadonald. 👍😁

Yes, they did a total revamp on the engine.

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 Used more gasoline too but put out a little more effort than a 60.

Didn't know that.@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226

A 325 is a,narrow row picker , a 324 is what would work here, but the 323 probably is his best choice for his operation. I started with a NI number 10 picker, then a 324 . My last picker i used was a JD 300 , now that was a great picker, but would not fit this great video. Oh , wonder why the dogs were around the crib , it was game time, rats !!!

Yeah, it just slipped out!

Good job bill. What population. Did you plant thanks

@@RobertMoore-gz4wy Hey Robert! You know l'm more of a mechanic than a farmer, almost flunked Ag. class in high school, l'm embarrassed to say l don't know what population, l can tell you the seeds are planted about 4 to 5 in. apart. On the silage l tighten up the distance a little.

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 42000 seeds/acre? Just a guess by the spacing, based on 30" rows. But if you are wider, # goes down.

@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 what row spacing?? On 40 inch rows we farmed on, there's 156,816 row/inches per acre, so dividing that out by 4-5 inches between seeds, that'd be about between 31,000 and 39,000 seeds/acre, figure 80% germination (multiply by .80) would give you about 25,000-30,000 plants/acre... Different row spacing is different of course-- 30 inch rows is (43,560 sqft/acre times 12 inches/ft divide by row spacing (30 inches)= 17,424 row feet/acre times 12 inches/foot= 209,088 row inches/acre). Divide row inches per acre by seed spacing in inches to get population. Divide row inches per acre by desired population to get seed spacing in inches. When we planted soybeans in 40 inch rows at 150,000 population, that was about a 1 inch spacing. Grain sorghum at 80,000 population was about 2 inch spacing, and cotton at 50,000 was about a 3 inch spacing.

grease needle is your best friend with sealed bearings... sealed bearings are junk. They put one pea-size dollop of low-grade clear grease in them, that's it, usually up by the seal not even in the raceway or on the balls... no wonder they're junk

What's that comment all aboot, aay?

Ha Ha Ha!!!😄😁😆🤠

Thanks Mark, glad to have you with us!
