stewart7225 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I believe I have it right that you can put as many pics in one post as you want as long as they are linked from another site correct? And you are limited to 6 per post when uploaded here? So many pictures but so little time to explain, first pictures are from about a month ago when we hauled out corn and milo to make room for the seedwheat. Next pictures are of some custom cutters in the area, and the last pictures are of the first 1/3 of our harvest. Bins at the home place, have a few more bins that we use scattered around a few miles away Bin full of corn (no it wasnt being emptyed while I was inside) I had the job of sweeping the dust and corn off the walls since seedwheat will be stored in it One tillage picture I actually managed to get the first go around this year, got 2 more fields of ours that need done so I might get some pictures yet (cross fingers) No clue who even owns this tractor, looks to be in fairly good shape compared to the few others I have seen around here Found three custom crews that were worth takings pictures of so far this season. First the New Holland crew, then the Case IH, and last the John Deere crew Allen Rollan harvesting: Their grain cart setup: Ford TW-35 with Brent Grain Train 600. Last year they had a belarus 4wd on it, definately the ford was a major upgrade Schiltz Harvesting 3/5 of the crew, met them on the road while going to look at the versatile. Pulled the 4-wheeler into the ditch to let them pass. Ochs harvesting, not sure how many more combines they have, at least 1 maybe more? One combine is over the hill cutting a spot for the rest to jump in and hook up the heads (road is about 2-4 feet lower than the field at all but one point along that field) Some custom cutter's trucks goin down the highway into town Farmer cutting across the road from where we were today: 9650STS , 9500 walker, 83** series tractor with kinze 1050 cart, 2 grain trucks, one with pup same guys different field Random guy cutting up the road from us one day, Running a 98*0 JD with shelbourne stripper head Finally onto our mishmosh crew: CIH 2188, very late 97 model 1010 header with new finger reel DT200 tractor Demco 800 grain cart Kenworth T-800 with 42' grain trailer IH loadstar with grainbed IH single axle with grain bed Kind of going to work backwards as thats how PB uploaded the pictures A few hours ago after an hour long drive down the highway, in the rain, on a very narrow highway, to get home. Racing the rain clouds My ride for most of harvest A little side hill action ( more angle than appears in the picture, doesnt help im on the same hill taking pictures) Staging area/overnight parking Inside of the cart Down in one of the draws fixing the coolant level sensor after a chunk of metal went through the engine a few days previous. The Adventure: Path that has to be taken to get from one hilltop, to the next one, to where the trucks are being loaded. we will start from where the trucks are parked and venture to the hilltop: Park here: Travel 1/3 of a mile and jump about 7 terraces to get to here Down this "path" and take a right to get to the hill with wheat, or a left to get to the hill where the staging area is Across this "field" (should be a pasture or waterway or something besides a field (not our land) )and up the hill All to get to where he is Then after the carts full, back down this hill at 1 MPH with FWA on, brakes locked, and fingers crossed, then back up the next hill and up into the field, then to unload on the truck. Pictures shows the 3 way intersection. This is from ontop the second hill. Straight takes you through the summerfallow to the staging area, while a left takes you to unload So ends the journey, made that trip 3 or 4 times which was plenty. Random picture from before we left home BEWARE DEMCO OWNERS!!!! What happens when the company doesnt think their design out in terms of water + cold wheater = expansion Finally, here comes the truck Pulling up to where we dump Better picture of where we dump at Different field, different day Definately in my top 3 pictures so far this year OH NO!!! clouds Thats all for now, hopefully some more pictures one we get back onto our ground north of town where its easier going. Sounds like im going to be initiated to wheat harvest in the combine, possibly grain truck also. Let me know what you think, Austin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ertlerik Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Great pictures, i like the wide open spaces. Nice clean sample in the graincart Love the TW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Like Nick said, via the Forum uploader you can only upload two regardless. Via a hosting site is six however. Can't view the pics as I am using my cell phone today. I'm looking forward to getting home for a good look though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Fantastic photographs Austin, some very impressive equipment and landscapes you've captured there, I agree with Erik, big TW35 looks smart on the chaser bin.

stewart7225 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 I will try to remember the 6 picture per post thing, just might take longer to post since I just copy and paste my posts from other sites. I will try to answer some of these questions as best as I can. I am not sure how many tons we have hauled off, this is not our land but the partner whom we share harvest equipment with. Yields have ranged from 65-95 bushels per US acre (1.768-2.585 tons per US acre). I seem to think that US acres are different than your acres? \ If so someone let me know the conversion between the two and I can calculate that. Wide open spaces are nice but this hilly land makes for better pictures, just give me a week and I will have some pictures of some real wide open space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart7225 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 I am in Hoxie, about 60 miles east of colorado border and 60 miles south of nebraska border. Anyone with a CIH combine has an idea where I am because our CIH dealer is one of the largest for combine parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Seen'em and wish I was back over there doing it all over again! Loved it when I was there, combines everywhere you look and for as far as the eye can see. Trucks on all the highways. .. . :'( Miss it. Anyhooooooow. Lovely photo's of a great array of machinery both old and new. I look forward to see more of this topic. If you know of anyone who may be able to get photo's of the Dolecheks. .. .
