We were shelling corn in the bottom ground today. (Down by the "river" in the low lying area's, where it's nice an wet!) I though I'd try and do a video set for one whole trip. Never done anything like this before, no do I have a cool Go-Pro camera like CAD does, so my phone was the official video cam. I "walk" you through unloading on the go, unloading the auger cart into the truck, driving the truck out of the bottom, weighing the truck and finally unloading. I tried to describe what I'm doing, what's going on and the why and how of what I'm doing. Keep in mind, it takes a lot of concentration to watch what I'm doing and run a cam at the same time, so sometimes as I'm rambling on it doesn't make sense, LOL. Some of the vids are during some pretty loud noise, and you can hardly hear me. Yes, it is very loud sometimes. One more thing..... I did not record these in the order they play in, so if some of my dictation is out of order that is why. I wasn't sure if I would be able to drive and hold the cam for every aspect, so I worked my way from the easiest to hardest parts. Well, enjoy!!
One round trip from field to the bin. |
Great set of vid's, thanks for sharing! I always enjoy watching how others do things and the equipment they use; everyone does it the same, but different. And wow, what a haul out of the field!
Quick question; When you're unloading the truck into the auger, what's the purpose of the board laying flat on top of the auger? Does it keep the corn from making a big mess on the ground?
