Day to get this harvest done? What has every one have left.

[WiltonRanch]

100 acres barley left. Hope to get done tonight. Neighbour came over with his machine and helping out. Crops running out. Hard to keep up by yourself and haul 7 miles with 2 tandems. Not used to it but good problem to have. Swathed wheat dry and appears to not be as bad as I imagined. Canola was good. Barley sprouted but will make turds. Elevator didn’t want the sprouted stuff but feedlot didn’t care. The “feed” barley is feeding something more than livestock. Otherwise my stress is coming down in time to work cattle and do some fall tillage. I’d like to thank the great creator and my aboriginal friends for the late summer we have gotten.

Most should be close by weekend here

We have a week left. Some are wrapping up or close. A few neighbors less than half.

Quit canola on Friday to go to durum. Canola was testing 6-7 and durum is testing 12 now. So maybe won't need the dryer this year.

35 acres flax left. Lucking out and getting most off dry. Fighting with the 1010 wobble box in flax.

good to hear ! you've had about as much luck with weather as us the last few years
we fought with that when we had the 2388
was half the price of case at combine world and was made in Italy

We are now down to 11 quarters to go.

Deere brought me out an S780 to Demo and it has some interesting features that actually work well.

Trying to see if should go with S780 or Stay with S790 power level.

Also today the New Case 9250 arrives should be interesting.

We have 11 quarters left. That last 6 inches of wet snow and 1/2 inch rain really screwed up things in our area. But I guess its moisture for next years crop. Fall work is not getting done.

Have rode in a Lexion 740 with a 40 foot header at 6.5 mph on a 55 bpa wheat crop at 17 moisture this fall....nothing out the back and no where near the fuel a deere uses...

In cab again on few flax runs ....it gobbles crop...engine runs at a lower rpm as well...sensors for crop loading are at the feeder house with better reaction time.

[SASKFARMER3]

We had that one for a few days last year like it but the cab is old school. Did it have the track system that was very nice? Easy to work on. Plugged it up real good. ?HAHAHA

Yes it has tracks ....cab is crowded sure but I can almost guarantee you won't spend as much time in a Lexion Cab as a Deere cab....thats what matters...

Less fuel.... less time combining.....you would have to start buying more land....poke....lol

[SASKFARMER3]

It liked its fuel when i filled it up, all the same shit.

I would like to build a CASE DEERE LEX and you would have a machine that would last for years.

There are different setting for the way you use a Lexion ....maximum throughput..better quality ...and something else...

Depends how the demo was set up...from what I have seen Lexions are phenomenal machines...compared to a deere...although I am using 10 year old deeres ...so wtf do I know...

Demos don't come here because I don't trade often enough..I have never managed to wreck or wear out a combine in 250 hours.

[SASKFARMER3]

If we dont trade our three will have lots of life in them. Still thinking but not sure what ill do.

Off to the farm.

The dilemma I run into is if I don't trade ...I run the risk of a major in harvest or a major difference to trade at any time....probably easier for guys to make those trades at smaller amounts than pay big every 8 years....but its really getting retarded for machinery...a two year old combine to new shouldn't be 100k per combine or is that normal now????

I think your trade numbers are too low. Used to be 60 for 1 year old to new and 100 for 2 year old to new on multi deal. Trade prices much higher now as dealer lots are too full of used that is over priced.

This flat wheat is a time killer. Still mud under crop mat. Very slow with header or swather , lots of downtime and repairs daily .
Bright side, soybeans cutting fairly well, at least the little sun and wind has firmed up the ground ok for header to work reasonably well .
But still very odd things it seems every day costing valuable time ....


Just one example, not sure what it is , maybe old wheel spoke ?? But the knife drive did not like it on header I know .
Anyway I am sure there are going to be lots of ‘wtf’s’ this year for everyone dealing with flat crops and mud
Good luck to those struggling in area .... it’s not fun at all . But at least weather is ok now for a few more days .
