Last Day of Harvest 21

rusty6 · Sep 26, 2021

My nephew and I finished up this year's harvest yesterday. On the same field where I helped my uncle finish his harvest in 1984. Time sure flew over all those years. Weather was great. Crop mediocre but at least the old machinery got it done again. Naturally I shot a bit of video.

7721 JD Harvesting.

I really enjoy your farm videos sir. I really like the landscape you have there in Canada also. May I ask what part of Canada you are from? I am in Southern Minnesota. It is always interesting to see how others farm around the world. Thank you for sharing this with us sir. Kow Farmer Kurt.

Congrats on finishing up the harvest, Rusty. It's nice to get done and unwind a bit.

Glad you are done, but I'll miss the 7721 videos.

Great to be finished up Rusty!

I have a little more to post on the 7721 showing how I leave the straw in windrows without having to remove the straw chopper.

Would you believe I'm waiting for the wind to get up so I can blow the dust off the combine? Not often that we don't have enough wind in Sask. but today is like that.

Tell us about the alfalfa growing underneath. How many cuttings you get, etc.

How much distance does that rock crossing save you?

I've never been around the modern pull type combines and wondered if the change from field to transport and vice versa is hydraulically controlled?

I always enjoy your videos, but don't always have time to watch them. Thanks for contributing them.

Ron, that rock crossing is the only way to get to that field. The creek cuts the quarter diagonally and when water levels are up its just not possible to get there. Beaver dams are the biggest problem. We never used to have that problem before they moved in.
Changing from field to transport or vice versa is no big deal. One pin to pull, block the right wheel and back up to swing the hitch to transport. Reverse procedure to get into working postition. I've seen some convert to a hydraulic pin release but I'm not going there.

Thanks. That field to transport operation is basically the same as on the New Holland small square baler I used to have.

A year like this we are lucky to get one cutting. I rarely get a second. This is a mix of alfalfa, brome and crested wheatgrass. Fairly typical for he area I think.
