Hey Chris, it’s great to see farmer Chris in a real life setting of cutting green stem beans under a tree line. Couldn’t be a worse situation. In case anyone is wondering, those wiper blades cost $186.12 from John Deere, we just replaced one. Safe harvest everyone.

Well, a clogged up combine is bad, but when you find the clog was caused by a 6 foot rattlesnake, that's still rattling, that's when it gets intense. (Also, riding on top of that combine in that field, Dirt Perfect became "Perfectly Dirty.") Good to see Farmer Chris, always appreciate his sense of humor.

This was a different video than I was expecting today but I still liked it. I grew up farming and I watch a lot of farming videos. I like seeing the newest farming technologies and the different ways farmers work their ground and harvest their crops compared to the equipment that was available back in the 60s, 70s and 80s when I was farming. Farm technology has come a long way in the last 60+ years.

Amen to that! Plug in a GPS, set the coordinates, set the pattern, and, voila! Done! In 2000 our house pad was leveled by an older gent named, "Leroy." Leroy had a CAT motor grader and "occasionally" got out of the cab for a ciggy butt and walk around. Not once did he use a laser.....he had the experience to be able to eyeball his work. Level corner to corner to within an inch and a half and a compaction rating of 94. Just sweet!

Back in the day the farmer would have to cut a sample hopper and draw some beans out and take them to the farm scales shack where they had a moisture meter to see if they could cut that day! This combine does it for them, that’s awesome technology Chris! So much improvement over the years. Thanks again for sharing this video Chris! Take care brother! I enjoyed it!

I'm not a farmer, never wanted to be one, but I have done the work and I understand the life and I really appreciate it. Thanks, Chris and Mike, for the fun and interesting video.

My farming background has to do with fabrication and conversion of old tractors and equipment to standard parts. One year, I helped a farmer bring in the Fall harvest. He had a huge list of JD equipment that was designed to fail after 2 seasons. I coined the phrase, Nothing Breaks Like a Deere, because of that insane 4 months of harvest. The needle bearings for the PTO input shaft took the cake! The fertilizer augers on the corn planter would pit and oxidize after one planting. The combine head lost a bearing during the soybean harvest and we had the mess of removing the soybean dust before lighting the torch! I learned that JD spends 90% of their engineering time making sure their parts are totally unique and impossible to convert to standard parts. The depth they went to was enough for me to never want to use their equipment again! If JD could, they would create their own fastener sizes and unit of measures. Their belts are pure insanity, always 2 feet longer than needed. JD is green and yellow to blend in with the fields when they break down! That way most can't see the farmer cussing and selling his kids for tractor parts!

Modern technology, 35 foot cutter header is huge compared to when I was working for the farmers! Back in the day the cutter heads largest was 24 foot and back then that was huge because we had to travel the roads between each field and, you talking about remove the cutter head and load it on a special cutter head trailer and move to the next field! Farmer Chris has huge fields and it looks like they’re connected to each other!

Land sakes, no wonder combine fires are a real concern round this time of the year. Seems like for every bushel of beans it comes with two of chaff. How then that chaff just settles into every horizontal surface, or pocket. Blow the machine off and remove a few hundred pounds of junk off the sprung weight. Of course it never was said that harvest was a clean affair or that farming in general was white glove work. Hat's off to you good farmer Chris, your harvests henceforth be bushel busting, the rain fall when needed, rows straight equipment not fail in the pinch. Keep it safe and rubber side down.

It's not surprising a not insignificant number of soybean harvesters go up in smoke every year when you see all the dust & dry brash produced. Odd that articulated trucks (semis) in the US(80,000lb) are lower rated weight wise than here in the UK(97,000lb). Fascinating to see the technology available these days to record yield per field etc. Great video Chris (& Chris).

As for the weights of 80K that is in Indiana other states allow more. Some have a per axle weight and then you see trucks and trailer with 7 to 12 axles. Larson farmers in MN can do over 90k but they have 4 axle trucks and 3 axle trailer. It gets really confusing as to what is legal in what state.
