Won't that spill the seeds?

[daveh3434]

Man, never spill the seeds. NEVER spil the seeds.

Anyone who thinks gleaners suck clearly hasn't ever ran one. Sweet video, how big of head are you running? Noticed you have another couple feet of auger extension added on, is it still a close reach to the graincart with that head?

[daveh3434]

Thanks for the support. Yeah, we added 2 feet, but it is still a little tight with a 30 foot head.  We still get it done.

Hi what sort of yeild do you get from sunflowers tonnes per acre im from uk so dont understand bushel lol

[daveh3434]

Sunflowers go by Hundred weight. And are measured by pounds, I guess you could measure it in tons, but the number would be in fractions and harder to keep track of. 2000 pounds/acre is considered a nice crop.

now do sunflowers naturally loose their leaves?

this beats the shxt out of my one plant

[daveh3434]

Don't tell me my crop sucks. You don;t know where I farm. We make money son. Could we farn 12,000 acres if it sucks??

gleaners are pretty cool i got to drive the one that was at the national farm machinery show i was nervous cus that was a 300000 dollar machine and i tell ya what i wasnt about to pull that out of my ass if i screwed up :D

[huskerfan1044]

Could you reach at all before you added the 2 feet?? we are going to be running an R62 with a 30ft head this summer and im hoping we wont need to add the extension to unload on the go. Have been using 24ft heads and had no problems at all.
