We were shelling corn in the bottom ground today. (Down by the "river" in the low lying area's, where it's nice an wet!) I though I'd try and do a video set for one whole trip. Never done anything like this before, no do I have a cool Go-Pro camera like CAD does, so my phone was the official video cam. I "walk" you through unloading on the go, unloading the auger cart into the truck, driving the truck out of the bottom, weighing the truck and finally unloading. I tried to describe what I'm doing, what's going on and the why and how of what I'm doing. Keep in mind, it takes a lot of concentration to watch what I'm doing and run a cam at the same time, so sometimes as I'm rambling on it doesn't make sense, LOL. Some of the vids are during some pretty loud noise, and you can hardly hear me. Yes, it is very loud sometimes. One more thing..... I did not record these in the order they play in, so if some of my dictation is out of order that is why. I wasn't sure if I would be able to drive and hold the cam for every aspect, so I worked my way from the easiest to hardest parts. Well, enjoy!!

One round trip from field to the bin.
Great set of vid's, thanks for sharing! I always enjoy watching how others do things and the equipment they use; everyone does it the same, but different. And wow, what a haul out of the field!

Quick question; When you're unloading the truck into the auger, what's the purpose of the board laying flat on top of the auger? Does it keep the corn from making a big mess on the ground?

Yep! You got it. We found out putting that board in kept the grain from splattering out so much.

We just tried opening up some fields up here in Wisconsin yesterday and the corn was anywhere from 27 to 33%. Not cool!

Woo hoo! Finished harvest today!! Got the last short 20 acres off the two town fields today, right at 3020 bushels so about 6 truck loads. Got done by 1:00pm and had a few "soda pops" after to celebrate Now to clean up, ripping the fields, some bat-wing work, and pushing the fallen trees back. Good luck to those left out there!

BTW: Beat ya, John!!

Here's a few pics of the last couple days on the farm. The first pic is of the wheel off the main grain cart. We had a wheel bearing going out about 3 or 4 days before the end of harvest so that put a damper on things. Got it fixed in time to finish up, though!

Next pic is of the main cart getting a load, and me behind in the 2nd cart waiting to take over and make sure the combine is empty before the end of the round.

The last pic is of the local grain facility we haul to. Pit 2 is dry corn, pit 1 is wet. This facility has a 400,000bu wet bin, a tower dryer, 1 500,000bu dry bin plus 3x 600,000bu dry bins located right next to a major railroad track. It's a big operation.

Enjoy guys!

Thanks guys.

Glad you got done Ryan! We probably won't finish this week. Maybe next week. Know why your cart broke? ....... It's green.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
