2010 Stoutenburg Farms Sugar Beet Harvest part 2

[TwoTone98Z71]

I swear its like a parade going through these fields. I do have to say I hate to see a tractor going through the field with the loader all the way in the air. That's a bit to ranch style for me. Plus you can see by Deere loaders so easy anyway and the tractor has RTK so there is no reason to have it up like that

[eagerjeffrey]

@TwoTone98Z71 I've been doing this long enough to know what buttons to push with you TwoTone! LOL  I remember the first time you commented about loader position!

[dhtvhe92]

where is this at i would like to know

[eagerjeffrey]

@dhtvhe92  Sandusky, Michigan

Can you imagine doing this before RTK?

I don't see how it was done all those years.

[mikedbeem]

How do you get so many people to look at your videos? My videos are almsot the same, except, i do not ride in the tractor. Your two harvesters are impressive, but we have six in my videos.

[eagerjeffrey]

@mikedbeem Been doing this awhile...... Amazing the power of subscribers! I noticed that you have only two right now. I'll subscribe to your channel and check your videos out. Patience, the views will come!

[mikedbeem]

I noticed that your toppers look alot different than ours do here. Also, we do not need to use auto steer in order to stay close to the harvester. Or with the harvester itself for that matter. Usually the people driving the harvesters or trucks can do it on their own.

[eagerjeffrey]

@mikedbeem Yeah we can drive too. Once you go autosteer though, you never go back! End of the day you are just as sharp as the beginning of the day! Stress levels go right away. 28 inch and 30 inch rows are still very common rows around here. Narrowing up to 22's and 20's require major tire changes and harvester/topper reconfigurations.

[NeedleInTheGroove1]

@eagerjeffrey bullshit. if you cant drive a straight line without autosteer you shouldn be allowed near a tractor

[eagerjeffrey]

@NeedleInTheGroove1 I know some guys that thought the same way........ Last year they bought autosteer. It is not just about how straight the rows are....

[mikedbeem]

Its nice to see white guys actually working out in their own fields. here in Idaho it is all done by Mexicans

[eagerjeffrey]

@mikedbeem Farm owners or immigrants? Immigrant workers use to work around here in the summer with weed control. Since roundup beets they all lost their summer work!  Now they work the large dairies. Getting to the point where some dairies are backing away and going robotic.

[eagerjeffrey]

@mikedbeem With the level of technology and those carts, You just don't put anyone in the harvesting equipment.  These guys running the carts have had lots of practice!

[vergauwekenp]

Don't these bins tend to fall over to the side ? :-s

[eagerjeffrey]

@vergauwekenp Impressive and just Boggles the mind! Engineering, Geometry and counterbalance all keeps 20 ton from flipping over onto the truck. Never seen one tip over yet. If some one has ......please post a picture or video. That I'd like to see!
