"We don't learn from trial and error.  We learn from denial and error."  Thats a perfect quote.

Ezra's dedication to character is absolutely commendable.

Please engage the header and the combine at idle speed! Your machine will thank you! It will also keep your machine running longer not engaging the clutch at full speed before you go cut. Work it up from idle to full throttle with the machine engaged

I really like that people are giving farming advice instead of complaining about “no car content”.

BEANS AND CORN

Where the hell is the 'The rains a comin' sticker!

Farmer here. Awesome video! Love watching you save these old rigs. Couple things that will make your life easier. If it plugs in the cylinder (the big drum under the cab that is doing most of the threshing) open the concave (the screen the cylinder rubs the crop against to thresh it) all the way up to help get the slug through. Also, try to start everything at low throttle then rev it up. That will help keep stuff from breaking. But the biggest one, beans are way more moisture sensitive than corn. If it's cloudy out they won't thresh well. If it gets into the evening and dew sets in, they won't thresh well. In the morning if your boots still get wet from walking in a yard, the beans won't thresh well. You have to wait until usually noonish to start or what happened with you guys will happen every time. The green stuff doesn't help but I guarantee the tough beans was most of your issue.

Can't say I watch every JYD video when it pops up, but I ALWAYS watch the farming stuff.

My grandparents sold their farm, my soul still yearns for harvest season.

Hey Kevin, just got at the end of the video; I know and noticed that this farming stuff is a lot of work, but it's an extremely close second in content to you reviving old junk cars! Please keep it going, I absolutely love it!!! If I wasn't so far and across the border, I would actually volunteer to help around and fix machinery, as I'm an all-purpose mechanic in a tool and machinery rental business! I can fix anything from an electric floor sander to excavators, wheel loaders, and man lifts! You name it! My true passion is really fixing old junk instead of modern garbage!!!

I’m watching this from the grain cart waiting on the combine

So nostalgic ... a John Deere you can actually work on and repair in the field. No computers, no internet, no secret error codes that only a company tech. can decipher. That combine is a keeper.

When you said steal some parts, I thought you were kidding, but.... doing it in the middle of the night in the dark I now believe you

Few tips.
1. Engage combine and header at idle. Then ramp up the throttle slowly.
2. Engage unload auger at 1/4 throttle. Then go up to just over half. It won’t crack beans or corn as bad. Also easier on the auger bearings.
3. Don’t cut beans so low. Leave 2-3” of stubble if possible. It’s the bottom of the weed roots that plugs it. Hard to process those big ball of roots/foliage.
4. Replace the auger bearings every harvest season.
5. Hard to detect belts slipping sometimes. Get 2 home style smoke alarms and put one on each side. Used this method and it worked great. I’d hear the beeping and stop.
6. Check belt tension every morning.

Ran a 4400 for years and these recommendations are from that experience. 6600 is its big brother.

The unmistakable sound of the slip clutch in the head that kicks in when it gets plugged with greenery I’ve heard that sound a few hundred times 😅

1:01:08 what blows my mind is you can plow plant and harvest the same field for three generations, and you still find rocks the size of your head inside it

this is the american version of clarksons farm and im here for it

Wait for a frost to kill the weeds if you have to.   But anyway  the minute  the sun goes down ur done cutting  beans generally

Clifford is just loyal, you can’t sell him now he is clearly part of the team
