I only have gps in the 6600. I was going to put the yeild monitor in the 6600, but my neighbor was looking at upgrading combines, so I bought his 6620 and put the yeild monitor in the 6620.

I use my 1 ton truck that has a new flat bed on it. The hitch is part of the bed. My neighbor will pull 2 300 bushel wagons with his 3/4 ton. I told him he is crazy, lol. I have pulled 2 250 wagons at the same time but not a fan if it. I do like using the 400 bushel Parker grain cart I have. It seems to be the best setup to move the most grain at a time that I feel comfortable with. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you, I started these videos because I couldn't find much out there on the older equipment, and wanted to help others. And we are here just to have fun farming.

I had seen others that were having questions and that is why I did this video. I'm glad it helped you out. Thanks for being here and commenting.

@@TAHDAHFarm seen it was a year ago but thought it definitely deserved a thanks even if you didn't get the message really appreciate it brother thanks again 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed.

I'm glad I got done to. I looked at the neighbors beans that are still out there and they have soaked up the rain and snow. I don't know how they will dry down. That is what I was having problems with last year and when I finally got them off they were 19+%. I was lucky the elevator took them. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Thank you.

Thanks, I was surprised.

Ya, they just put all this stuff in about 2 years ago. I just hope the 2 different scale weigh the same. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, my too. We got water standing in fields again.

I knew that those Ruff's Seeds were looking good but I was not expecting that. I was expecting 45 or so. Thanks for watching.

I always enjoy going to the elevator. That is the closure to the harvest season. You find out how the year went and how your efforts are going to pay off. Thanks for being here. I hope showing how I put the head on might make it easier for you if you have to take yours off again. I had several comments on having difficulty with that process of taking off and putting the head back on.

@@TAHDAHFarm - yes, I saw my mistake with leaving the head flat on the ground. I'll block it next time to create the angle you showed. thanks for that knowledge.

I found that in the manual for the 200 series head. John Deere had some books laying on a table one day when I was picking up some parts. They said all the bood in that pile were $2 each. I could past that up. I truly believe the Lord did that so I could share the info with other.

@@TAHDAHFarm - 1Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? sharing knowledge is exactly what God would have us to do. thank you Tim.

That noise you might have heard at your little farm in NC was from my little farm in Ohio shouting AMAN!!! And I don't apologize for getting excited about reading the Bible. Thank you for that verse.

I miss spoke, it was 0.40%, but I did say 40%. I did not getting docked for FM. I do appreciate you watching and listening all the way to the end and your comment. Thanks again.

@@TAHDAHFarm I did custom harvesting back in the 1980s with Small's Harvesting out of Senath Missouri. They had moved their base to south Mississippi because they had two really big customers down here. I used to cut beans for them down here after we went out west cutting wheat. I had a few customers of my own and I would take their equipment and cut myself. They had 16 John Deere 8820s but they kept two of the old 7700s from the previous upgrade. Their customer base was a lot of older farmers and one by one in the 1990s they passed away and finally got to the point they just went ahead and closed shop on custom harvesting. I developed a love for it so much here in my sixties I'd like to get a little 6600 and do a little harvesting myself but they've stopped growing anything down in south Mississippi as far as crops all they grow down here is cattle! Lol. And I can pick up a nice combine fairly cheap but there's nothing left to cut it's a shame. But I like watching the old John Deere run.

It is very hard to find ground and I don't want to be getting ground by "steeling" it. All the ground I am farming, all 50 acres, has been new ground from hay fields or big farmers that don't want the small fields. I am looking forward to farming the 16 acres I have perched over the last 2 years. The rest of the fields are 2 to 6 acres in size. My goal is 100 when I retire just to keep me busy. I wanted to just help the neighbor guy but he didn't want any help. So I'm doing it by my self. I'm having fun and that's what it is all about. Thanks for being here and watching my channel.

Thanks for watching. I bought the Kewaunee disc about 2 weeks ago. I looked at something on one of those small used private lots. With the purchase of the disc, I am trading my IH 370 disc and some other equipment that I will not need for something, lol. I don't want to give it away yet, so stay tune. I hope to switch the equipment this coming week and make a video of it.

TAH-DAH Farm I’m gonna bet it’s a no till drill. If I’m right and it’s a Great Plains the dealer I worked for sold those as well. You asked about the cylinders on the kewanee folding disk. I couldn’t remember for sure but a friend said everything kewanee was cross he thought.

It looks like a Cross. I talked to Crose the other day and the guy emphatically denied that they made cylinder for Kewaunee. I was later talking to B&B Hydraulic which is located close to Crose in Kansas. He told me that they made a lot of parts for different manufacturers like Kewaunee and when the manufacturer goes out of business they get rid of the line of part to push their stuff. B&B was not surprised at all about Cross's comments. O well, I ordered 2 new Crose cylinder for B&B and they should be here on Monday. My biggest problem was the shaft size on mine was 1 3/8" and Cross are now 1 1/4".

TAH-DAH Farm as long as your bought a set so the ones it’s phased with are the same it should operate exactly the same. If you have any trouble I can try to help with what I know. The only real problems I remember having were the rear hitches were week and I remember a few had the little links on the side that are part of the fold (look like a midget top link) would break. Otherwise their a great disk to own.

Those top link things look to be ok. Need to oil them up good. As far as the hydraulic for the wings, it also has what looks like a splitter that will regulate the flow so they move at the some rate. It seems to be working just fine. Will see next week.

About 3" and a dusting of snow. There is water puddled in the fields again. We had just got dryed out and back to a normal condition. The beans that are still out there soaked up a lot of the rain and look pretty bad now.

oh wow. We got around 2". I've got about 45 acres left that will get finished Friday/Saturday if the temps dip like they're calling for!

Good luck, I need to check my corn again but it is muddy muddy muddy, lol.

I haven't had any problems with green stuff but short beans kinda pile up and then catch which then will give you a slug. Just have to watch for it and it goes just fine. Good luck with whatever you decide.

@@TAHDAHFarm Thank you. I think I may try an Orbit Reel and see what it does and if not good enough maybe look for a green or red head..... hmmmm my wife may not understand that last part LOL

I just went back to look for a video but I can't find it. I have talked about it before but that will make for a good video to do. The light will flash when one of the 5 sensors are not running fast enough. There should be a box to the right back corner of the cab that has 5 lights on it. That is the monitor control panel and will turn that light on. I made a lot of repairs on my to get it working again. I will definitely do a video on this in the near future.

@@TAHDAHFarm Thanks for the reply. None of those sensors work on our combine so thats probably why I have never seen this light come on. We are planning to try to get those working if we can. This combine has around 3200 hours on it and it appears to have a newer concave in it because it has newer looking black paint on it. Its also a diesel with the rotary screen. My son paid 1000 for it so I feel we can do a few repairs on it.

My John Deere dealer let me borrow the testing tools to check the control box and make sure it was working properly. I had to replaced the lights and I used LED that a friend got for me. I then went to the combine graveyard and got the used sensors that I needed. I also found that the switch under the cab was plugged up with dirt and bent. It is located so that when you push the handle forward to start the threshing, it sends power to turn the control box on. It is nice to have, I had the chopper belt come off one day and the light started to flash. So I then looked to see what light was on on the control box. I know the combine graveyard has the control box if you find that yours is bad but it is not cheap. Good luck and thanks for subscribing to my channel.

Thank you. Both of my grandpa's had old equipment and I learned how to take care of them. One had John Deere As and Bs, and the other one had a 45 combine and the 2 Fordsons tractors I still use today. I spent a lot of time with my grandpa's in the shop. I saw the advantage of maintaining and not having trouble later in the field.

sorry I don't always watch for comment's I enjoy working on our old stuff also I'm a small farmer in darke co. the difference between big farmers and small farmers is we have to repair our problems. the big guys just trade off . thanks for the videos . it gives me incentive .

Thanks for watching, I agree totally, we have to fix the equipment. And when we buy their used traded in broken equipment, we have to fix it to, lol.

I miss spoke, it was 0.40% which is pretty good. They don't dock on payment until you get to 1.0%.

@@TAHDAHFarm that sounds much better. I running a 7700 Turbo presently but also have the 6600 and 4400 all with ridgid platforms, 215,216 and 218 Draper. I harvest grass seed where small grain chaffer is used on top with a round hole perforated screen on bottom are used. Low air speed, 400/450 and higher cylinder speed, 1000/1100 and tighter concave settings are used to strip seed from grass stems, concave on 2/3.

Uniopolis, thanks for watching.

The only thing different then my neighbors 6620 and any of the newer combines is that they have a lever that locks it on and I have to use the bolts. Some also use a pto type setup and not the chains. Thanks for watching.

This combine has a monitor that has 5 rotation sensors monitoring to make sure that everything is at proper speed. If one of the areas slows down, ie a belt breaks, that light will come on. This is an earlier version of monitor so the light is the only indication that will get your attention there is a problem. The newer combines have a light and a buzzer. There is a panel down by the gear shifter that has the 5 individual lights to let you know what area is the problem.

Yes, it would be at least 45 minutes one way with the tractor and with the truck it is about 20 minutes. Then the time it takes to dump at the elevator. I didn't use this elevator last year. The two elevator that I use are within a mile on the distance. With that being said, I go to whichever is paying more and last year Sunrise was paying about $0.10 less last but this year it is the other way about $0.05 a bushel. Sunrise put in the new dump and can take corn and beans in it. I seen a Simi truck dump a trailer in about 3 minutes in the new pit. I was surprised and I dumped my wagons with the door wide open. 2 years ago they only had the 3 pits and one was ready slow if the one next to it was being used. It could take about 10 minutes to empty a 250 bushel wagon not to mention the time that was created by being slow. The other elevator is coming up on price and paying more for corn now so I might be taking the corn there. Thanks for watching.

@Brad Sisson sometimes using a tractor and grain wagons can be dangerous, most farmers around me who are more than 2 miles away from the grain elevator will use a dump truck or a grain trailer behind a rig. Just depends on how the season is as well

Crouch & Sons Farm you are right. We did tractors and wagons for years. All depends on your roads, distance, and elevator location. Just a change in times as that was a thing of the past. Gravity wagons behind a tractor or truck can be very dangerous.
