Wheat harvest

[MR.T.]

Guy from my church cut some wheat on Tuesday, small acreage, I think it was a 20 to 22 acre patch, & netted 35 bushels an acre. He was pleased with those results, & hopes the rest of his wheat produces the same.
He did loose about 60 acres to flood waters though.

The first place the neighbor cut made 70bu/acre and weighed 62! Fields since have made 40-48bu/acre and weighed 54-56 lol. If it were hotter that test weight would go down with every rain. Last night didn't help.

Dayyuuum! If you can get into the field that's a damn good crop!

Just talked to my buddy. Bushel yields are 55-73 and testing 58-64. Not bad numbers.

 

[Snattlerake]

That's really good to hear. Really great numbers. Tell them to be careful out there. I've seen a lot of farm accidents during harvest. Some were deadly. Think before you do.

Everyone should be rolling along today finally, just need the rain to stay away and need gale force winds for the next two weeks.

I'm afraid you are going to get both. It was a little bumpy yesterday afternoon. Love the pic!

25th year in a combine and have never been stuck, backed of nasty places but never had to be pulled out. Twice in two hours today..........when the bottons just falls out lol.

That sucks for sure. My combine had the tires reversed. They would slip going into slick spots and then have traction to back out, but your situation looks like a drop-into-the-hole issue.
No way out but a pull.
With the storms tonight, I'm betting a lot of late night harvesting.

Man does that look familiar. We used rice tires.

 

[Okie4570]

We had an IH with rice tires at one time, I don't think it would have mattered much this time as I wasn't driving in mud, there's not any tracks up to where the bottom fell out. I know at one time yesterday there were 4 combine stuck in west central Grant county. There's one in the hills sw of Nash that's been buried for 3 days lol.

When you say reversed, are my tires not getting max traction in reverse now?
