I Spent $25,000 Fixing My Combine! (Harvest Prep)
After four years of basic service to the combine, I knew some things really needing repair, and it was going to be an expensive year for the combine. With the help of our neighbors Mark and Bryce, we were able to do some of the work ourselves on it! The entire feeder house needed rebuilt, clean grain elevator replaced, unload auger replaced, corn head stock rolls replaced, slip clutches and many more repairs! We got it all done and are prepared for Harvest. I pulled some ears out of the hybrid plot to see how things look this year. I think there will be some unbelievable yields this year on certain parts of the field, and then where there were drown-out spots, it will really kill the fiel...

I Bought A John Deere 4020 Powershift Tractor!
Просмотров 143 тыс.14 дней назад
For the past year I've been searching for a John Deere 4020 Powershift with Side Console, and 2 SCVs. I had a hard time finding one at a good price. Earlier this Summer one came across FB marketing place in So. Minnesota and I went to purchase it right away. It's been an awesome tractor!

Replanting Ponded Fields & Spraying!
Просмотров 32 тыс.14 дней назад
We started off the summer with way too much rain, ponding, and tile issues. We got the tile all patched up for the Summer and will hopefully replace it this fall. Also got some spraying & top-dressing done in this video. I honestly can't believe how well the corn crop has rebounded with how much rain we got earlier in the season. Pretty insane! There's some good potential out there still! Thank...
Planting Corn on the New Farm!
Просмотров 60 тыс.2 месяца назад
We're planting my only field of Corn! I wish I had more Corn, but for this year this is the only field. It's just how crop rotation worked out this year with so much buying/selling of land. We have a high/low management hybrid plot going in on this farm with Advanced Agriltyics. Basically, looking at how certain hybrids handle higher or lower management environments. (When it comes to High M st...
First Day of Planting & First Time Spraying!
Просмотров 74 тыс.4 месяца назад
It's the First Day of Plant24! We're planting soybeans in one of Spencer's and my fields. Spencer bought half of the farm last March, and I bought the other half in September. We cleared the fenceline and now combined the field all as one. I am spraying for the first time, so I have some help from our neighbor Mark using his mix station, and learning how to mix chem correctly. Really helps bein...
Seeding Oats & Alfalfa for Hay Production!

Spencer's giving some Alfalfa a shot this year! The guy is addicted to Hay. We got some Oats seeded with the help of a neighbor and then came back and seeded Alfalfa right over the top. We did about 13 Acres. The plan is to combine the oats in July and then bale the straw. Also got the sprayer figured out and ready to roll for plant24! Thanks for watching!

An Early Start at Spring Fieldwork!
Просмотров 264 тыс.5 месяцев назад
The start of some fieldwork! Some chisel plowing, disking, and fixing some old clay tile on a few farms. Also, we got a sprayer bought! So will finally be able to learn the ropes and do our own spraying! I've traded off a few farms for other farmland about 90 miles NW from where I originally started farming, and that means everything in the machine shed I built in 2021 needs to get moved by the...
Buying Iowa Farmland at Auction!

Buying & Selling some Iowa Farmland! Starting to transition closer to home and near Spencer's current farmland. Also in no way trying to brag when it comes to anything with buying land, selling land or money. Just trying to document the journey of getting started farming. I was fortunate enough to buy some land from a neighbor and buy some more land at an auction. It's all being traded around, ...
Young Farmer Harvests His First Crop!
Просмотров 44 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Spencer got to harvest his first crop this year! We hauled the combine up 90 miles to harvest his farm and the neighbor's farm! I was fortunate enough to purchase the neighbor's farm, so next year, we'll be clearing the fence line and farming them as one. Spencer's crop ended up doing good for the conditions he had to work with this Spring. He did a lot of tree clearing this spring, and disking...
Big Corn Harvest Day!
Просмотров 71 тыс.8 месяцев назад
It's the last day of Corn Harvest on my farms! We finished a corn on corn farm, and then moved to one of the farms that I rent. We had a really good year despite the dry conditions over the summer, and the drain tile improvement we did last fall has helped a ton on corn yields! Next video we'll be hauling the combine up to Spencer's Farm. Trying to get back in the swing of editing real-life vid...
Record Breaking Corn Harvest! (Personal Best)

Had a lucky year on Corn! We had our personal best corn yield this year! Only been farming 3 years but had a personal record for corn yield on a 55 CSR2 Farm! Apologizes for how many cab/talking shots there were in this video. I got so excited and did not get the best shots of these 3 days of harvest. Thanks for watching!

Start of Corn Harvest!! (Close Call with Wagons & Hills)
Просмотров 420 тыс.10 месяцев назад
The Start of Corn! Been waiting for this day for awhile. The first field we went to is the field we pattern-tiled last fall. It's looked decent all year and very consistent. Ear size was not as big as hoped but it put out a decent yield! We still have about 50 acres left on that farm to harvest, only did 24 acres! Also had a close call with 2 wagons on the hills. The tractor went into a bad pow...

It's GO TIME for Harvest23! Have about 75 acres of beans to harvest and then onto Corn. The bean yield on one farm was actually my personal best so far out of the past 3 years. Hope to have a Corn Harvest vid out soon! Thanks for watching! Spencer's Channel- www.youtube.com/@UCiO_R7ZPsjgPNiZNrhqcL1w Instagram- thesquad_youtube?hl=en

Rolling on Corn Planting in Iowa!!

We're rolling on soybean & corn planting! I wanted to get some early beans in the ground in the week of April 11-14th, but didn't get a chance due to getting corn planted that week. Finally was able to get some beans in the ground after it dried up on April 17th. We had Kent out from Advanced Agrilytics, who's helping on the Agronomy & VR fertilizer, and seed side of stuff! Always get some good...

He Bought a 5-Ton Military Truck! (6X6)
Id rather run 4 solid 20,30,40 series Deere’s than one newer one having to hook and unhook constantly. That’s all wasted time. My opinion the older 20-55 series are mechanically better anyways than the newer ones. They don’t build tractors like they used to
I’d leave the cab, I run one with a disc vine. At the speed you would cut you get more than enough airflow through. The other nice thing with those is how little fuel they go through
How on earth do you remember how to put all that back together again? It’s Humpty Dumpty time all over but to a much great extreme. Enjoy your videos. Lifting prayers for a safe and prosperous harvest.
What if it snows , you can get an After market AC to go on it . What if it rains before you can get home from the field. You can never have to many 4020's. If you use a big round Hey Baylor you need the other one with front-end Loader. To load the hay.
I just watched Sonne Farms do that same clutch repair and they did not wire wheel that shaft before putting it back in. Boy oh boy did they struggle bus like crazy.
Not only real life farming but also game farming wow
Can you make American farming for low end iPads please
Keep the roof on, and you can mount a roof AC for about $250.
Find an aftermarket AC kit for that cab, everybody takes the cab off and it’d be a shame because that cab is in really good condition
Did you see the video that tony reed did on the fire suppression system he was trying out?
Can you add an American Farming all the packs game money and can you add skid, loaders and dump carts
Man I love this channel and Spencer’s channel
Love it
Love it
KEEP THE CAB
It would be good for rice in those ponded areas bc that’s how u grow it I only know that bc I’m a 4th gen rice farmer in southeast Texas and I love my life and wouldn’t change it for the world
A little advise: when u change gear give always a little hit to the clutch ‘cuz with time it can break earlier
always great to have awesome neighbors!
Dude u to are both hot
Buy an 8520
This is one reason im glad imwith Fendt
keep the cab and buy a fan and wire it in to keep you cool
I agree with everyone else about the cab. I think down the road you would regret taking it off. It provides shade from the sun, protection from the wind and with the windows all out you have really good air flow. I also have to comment on how good a worker Ty is. That young man hung right in there with you guys pitching & stacking hay. That's a hot and dirty job and he took it in stride. Good to see these days.
you are so good at everything you do in american farming you should add a where your truck can have a feed box on the back
👍
👍
Good stuff
👍
Juan Deere parts prices should be coming down since they are based in Mexico now. Is it helping farmers in general that they support gay pride?
👍
You got moneh I know buy a bigger header for it bro
Keep the cab is my vote.
Wasted money....should have bought 7000 Ford with power shift
Best farming channel by far!
Another great informative video, thanks for posting 😊
If I was you I would put a retro ac kit on it so you could keep the cab
Put ac in it keep cab
Those neighbors seem like awesome neighbors to have.
That kid was moving bales as good as a adult.
Keep the cap on
Keep the cab!! You will thank yourself in the fall and spring time. Never understood why people like to punish themselves without one
Nice to see all the replacements being done before harvest Grant. Also are you trying to hint that there is a major life changing event in your future when you mention grandchildren 😅?
You know it’s going to be a good day when Grant posts🎉
If he doesn't have it already offer your neighbor a sheet of lexan for the roof of his forklift 😊
Hope you guys have a wonderful harvest this year much love and faith with in this channel learning a lot for future farming on my own hopefully one day stay with good spirits good health and God will guide your family farms ❤🎉 ps haven't figured out what kinds of work we are starting with possibly goats or keeping going with poultry and hay or grain to expand fully with maybe late 60s early 80s deer equipment hints on whats best 🇺🇲 pray for this election so new farmers dreams come true for gen z
Did he buy or lease a farm yard
It's just a neighbors. Not mine!
I removed when I watched y’all in farming sim the good old days
How much did you spend on the combine ?
How many hours do you put on it a year? 20 to 25 hours . Would be more profitable to have your crop harvested for you..
I need to look back. I think like 70-100hrs last year. When I changed the oil filter it was somewhere around there. For me it's all about gaining experience/learning at the moment. If there's a little cost through the school of experience, I'm cool with that! Since I don't have many acres I run a lot of trials in fields. I know I have time in the fall to mess around with them with the combine- It works good!
Great job explaining what you were doing as you made the repairs! Good looking combine, hope it works for many years for you. Dale
