No apologies necessary. Just glad the combine isn't buried.

I'm located southwestern Manitoba and finished our beans 3 weeks ago. Good thing as there are 2 to 3 inches of snow now.

We that have been involved in farming know what it takes!

That is awesome 60 bu!!!

I spent 2 weeks one year cutting wheat in almost exclusively axle deep mud. Can't imagine doing whole fields of beans like that.

Wow it mood be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

Working in the mud mentally and physically wears you out more than people know

We cut beans Monday and Tuesday then rain again Wednesday and today. Our fields are getting some wet areas also. Good luck and get what you can. Cutting beans in November is never as much fun.

Duals would be cool.

Good to see ya making some progress we got done with beans late Tuesday night , helped a neighbor there 9510 ate a feeder house chain , had to drive threw a another neighbors field a 25 ft head doesn't fit well on old gravel roads . We got his last beans out was great . I dropped the head on the cart backed away and it downpoured like monsoon rain . It's tough going here lots of ruts . From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful

So glad you are getting something thing harvested. Will pray for more dry weather for ya .

Nice looking clean crop man.nobody likes mudding but sometimes it is what it is.its pretty wet here in southern Ontario too.love your videos been watching since the start.take care and have a safe harvest 🍻

South of Des Moines i got rained out, and today cloudy and didn't dry out.......

Great you hit that 60 plus bushel😊😊😊

Congrats on 65 BU beans in the mud..

Good video good to see you

Back in 1980 or 81 we had the wettest fall on record, Uncle’s had a New Holland 1400 . Only way to harvest the corn was to put duals on . Water was everywhere longest fall ever a lot of corn had to be picked after it froze up. Good luck. 👍

Surprisingly good start to the bean harvest! I did hate to have to see that new cutter bar go through the mud though.

Congrats on harvest so far! Looks like the cold weather is coming soon...

Man I feel for ya. It's going to be a long hard harvest for you. If every field is going to be like that. Good luck

Haven't had a wet fall for a while Farm Boy!! Who would have guessed it would turn that way this year.

The Oliver does seem to clawing her way through it really well though.

Probably doing better than guys with larger, heavier machines as far as cutting ruts and making a mess.

You did all you could do. You were lucky to have as much good weather as you did. Parts of Michigan north of you was too wet to do any harvesting.

My late dad did 60 bushel beans once a few years back and he said he was done doing beans cause he couldn't repeat it ever again

No apologies needed. Gotta go and get er done. Pretty spongy. Looking like the header is working great.

Good job Ethan. It is really tough this year everywhere. We could only wish for 65+ beans.

It's hard on final drive but you worry about more water or wet heavy snow

No need to apologize, I'm surprised you were able to get any video. I understand the stress factor involved with working in the mud. And you add in working in the dark, well I don't know how you did it. Out there by yourself would have sucked big time. I'm sure a lot of us would have understood if all we got was an update after the fact. Thanks for doing the best you could under the circumstances. See you soon in the next one.

Dont apologize bud... Just is what it is. Nothing wrong with trudging.

The new sickle looks like it is working great.

Glad to see you made it out there but dang that's rough. Makes for interesting video though. Sorry it's at your expense. Good thing you have that lighter machine.

No need to apologize. We watch to see the day in and day out issues you face doing what you do. I can't imagine having a profession that is so reliant on the weather. Farmers are a different breed. Great video and praying for a continued harvest. BTW.. I watch a channel called Triple R Farms that is down here in Alabama. They were cutting beans last week that was only about 8 - 10 bushels per acre. The drought conditions were severe in the southeast all the way through growth.

Need some rice tracks to put on it

I would love to have half of the rain you have been getting here in Arkansas where I live we are in a drought

Good progress Ethan. Tough going in the wet but you didn't bury it or get stuck. Thanks for the update. Take care. Fred

I could feel the tension, watching you power steering trying to keep her straight in the mud.. lol It's times like that when my profanity levels increase in hopes of coaxing the equipment. lmao

G’job young man, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Been there. I’m surprised ya ran the camera at all, that’s dedication to your channel and viewers 👍🏻knew exactly how you felt when you mentioned blood pressure, stay safe and keep pluggin away, it’s gonna work out Ethan🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸MERICA

Forecast sucks the rest of the week

You earned that one, looked like a battle.

I'm just letting you know you're not doing nothing wrong keep a good job❤😊

Combine looks like it is light enough you sink but can make it trough a big machine would catch hell trying to make it through those wet spots

In 2021 we were shelling corn on Christmas Eve cause the conditions were so wet we had to wait for it to freeze. Needless to say I was ready to get out of the combine that night cause it was still a muddy disaster and the corn was getting hit bad by the wind so it was a matter of saving the crop before more of it blew over.

It's tough going but your getting it done. Slow and steady

Awesome that you got some beans out.

Just setup camera and let it tape. Worry about editing it later. People really like the real life struggle your showing. Every year an adventure in farming.

Ethan, glad you are able to harvest some beans. And you're okay with me on the camera I think getting your beans harvest is more important than getting a lot of shots. 👍 Michael

How about a set of custom axle spacers. Like a section of well casing or heavy wall tubing with a flange on each end. It would bolt to the wheel flange and hub on the combine with longer boots, and then bolt a regular rim and tire to the outer flange. I'm expecting that a set of combine rims and tires might be easier to find than clamp on duals (parts machine at your uncles?). The only concern i have is the inside rim holes getting wallowed out, as I assume they are meant to have tapered style wheel bolts in them.

Good progress so far even though it's so wet underfoot congratulations on the yield

Would duals put more stress on the final drives? Great job on the beans, I wonder if all the wet spots helped them germinate better in the drought. Great to see those numbers in such a weird year

I could tell you were getting wore out, fighting the steering wheel. But you got the job done thank Ethan

Is the 525 lighter than the 7300 or not enough to matter?

Wet conditions are always a challenge. Hate to see you having to track things up. We try to avoid it ourselves. Don't mind so much if it's just some odd corners or a swale that lays wet. All things considered on yield, for the year we've had sometimes you take what you get and move on. Your beans are clean and standing well...always a plus at harvest time.

Don't sweat the video. You gotta get those beans. Ben there done that before too. At least your combine doesn't weigh a ton and you can get through most of it. We used to save the worst for last and go in with an empty bin. How is the new head working?

Thks for the vidio eathan

Full power 😊😊😊😊

Ethan I need to make you a light kit for the 7300 😂😂

Any plans to get some small bins setup, just getting air on them your money ahead.

That ole Ollie getting it done man !! Any heavier of a machine you'd be done

Good luck bud. Beans and mud don’t mix. Should go back and watch some of Larson farms videos from 2019. It was bad

It's go time no need to apologize. If you had a third hand you still wouldn't hold the camera with it and you didn't get stuck! So it's a win win situation. 👍

Teeter as lap dog, tho LOL

Have you thought of turning the tires around for better traction?

I have a nice 7300, two open cockpit and a pull type and several heads stored inside I'd sell if you know anyone looking. The Combines drove themselves in the shed a few years ago.

How high are the pods off the ground?

I think I could await it to the ground froze a little bit

It's not all glitz and glam my friend sometimes shit is greasy lol

How many gears is that C70
