What kind of chopping job does the drago head do at 5mph?

[federicocolussi]

da noi il mais e alto il doppio

I've got a 9450 coming with a 693 corn head. The combine is on 18.4x38 duals, it's a tight squeeze but it just fits behind the 6 row head.

[TheCornCobbers]

Your videos are the best...Thank you

[cornfarmer4700]

we want one of these but if we got a bigger combine we would

[npk007]

Up here in Quebec canada we always start corn around 30-32% and finish around 22%....this year was more like 35% and finished around 29%...

We combined 6500 ton, our dryer dries like 7 ton/hour...reallly sucked

[Kistaki79]

@npk007 If u have problems with that high moisture%,why don't you use some kind of chemicals and spray the corn to dry it.Costs are not too high and you can bring down the moisture at least with 6-7%=less drying costs

[npk007]

what kind of chemicals?? ive nerver heard of this?

[Kistaki79]

@npk007 I'm pretty sure you know ROUNDUP total weedkiller,that is the best stuff to dry down the corn.Last year we sprayed corn around 100ha on 22-25 Aug when the moisture was around 35-38% and harvested on 10-12 Sept with 22-24% of moisture and the weather was still pretty warm,so we had a lot less drying costs.

[mikewashere01]

we just got done with ours up in michigan wasnt worth nearly as much as i thought it would be this year ohh well pays the bills

[hoeck2008]

i'm not a farmer so can comeone tell me what your saying about those percentages your talking about. I know it has to be down to a certain percentage but can you explain more?

[npk007]

the% of humidity in the grain is wath were talking about.... or moisture... this year the wet and cold summer didnt allow the corn to mature properly...we have to extract the moiture all the way down to 15% to be able to store the corn(or else it gets moldy and gets wasted) soya beans are very absorbant...they can be at 12% and a little rain can bring them back up to 20%...so you have to wait for the sun to dry them...you cant dry soya bean because when you ry it you extract the oil...and that

[npk007]

is the worst you can do...because most beans are used for the production of oil...so if you dry it and loose oil your quality is shit! hope that covers it!!!

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

we are now have way through beans. we may need to wait till spring for alot of our corn. though we will loose yeild, our drying cost will go down.

[hondaredrider85]

ouch man that pretty bad 35% corn and 20% beans.i thought 15% beans were bad and 18% corn man. Well good luck

[stinos4]

haha look at the Pumkin :p

Great video! ;-)

[DFarms001]

Thank you!

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

oh BTW can you get a video of unloading that buggy thanks

[DFarms001]

I get one in beans, it's too slow in corn.

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

we are in soybeans now. we have rented a 3rd combine but all we could get is a case 1660 with a 20ft head, oh well better then nothing.

[cornfarmer4700]

wow were close to getting all beans done

[DFarms001]

We have about an acre done.

[cornfarmer4700]

ya we need to let the corn dry out more

[WordWarrior7733]

how come u run the combine with the auuger out all the time? i have seen guys do it before but not sure why.

[DFarms001]

Because we are always dumping.  There's not point to put it in.

[farmerf150]

dairyfarmer83 beans are to wet and corn is to wet and it like 27 or 30 % it's going to be wet all year for us farmers

[dairyfarmer83]

Why is the corn ready ahead of the soybeans?

[DFarms001]

It's not ahead of the soybeans. I would rather pick 35% corn than 20% soybeans. It's getting late enough we have to do something.
