More Milo Harvest pics.

[70ds]

Last Saturday I went down and carted for a while again down at the farm where Dad works. We only were able to run for about 2 hours then we ran out of dry milo. I will start off with a video of when I first got there. They were opening the field and the 8010 was on the backside with a binfull. He had to cut out a spot for us to dump.






This was my view from the cart while the wife was videoing.

Pivoting the conveyor out.


Dad coming in with the truck.

Here are some pics of the cart. Some guys had wanted some pics of it.




On Sunday I went and ran cart for Dustin (774630).
Firing up the 4630.

The Kitty in action.

I helped him last night too. This is me unloading the cart.









Gotta leave this one on the road. Can't get it into the field. Drives aren't big enough.



Had a flat on the 4630.






Tried to take a night pic, but it didn't work out the best.


That is all for now. Questions and comments welcome.

nice i have a question i went to national convention this week and while we were drivin through indy we saw a feild with 2 pivots in it and green crops no tops on them and about 2 foot tall every body was like its too late for green corn and i knew it couldnt be corn so could it have ben sorghum? it had to many leaves to be corn and it looked like it was drilled not planted thats the only thing i could come up with

Sounds like sorghum to me. It is a lot greener than normal for harvest here. Usually the milo has been killed by a freeze but we have just had a light freeze that burned the leaves a little here.

[hoss]

well thats the only thing i could come up with so i figured i would ask.

I dont know, its pretty late for milo to not be headed out, especially for irrigated, unless it double crop back behind wheat or something. I would think irrigated milo would be taller and at least headed out. We had to replant some and planted it a couple of days before wheat harvest and its all headed out and about ready to cut, and its dryland. Dont know what else it would be though.

[70ds]

I was thinking it was green and cut off. If it isn't headed by now it isn't going to make anything. You better get out the swather.

[774630]

yeah your probably right, I didnt think about it bein cut already, lol.

Maybe it's volunteer corn. I saw the same thing. Are you talking about around the Columbus area? I think it might be on I-65 or something like that.

whats on the front of the 8770? i just noticed you have the europ style hopper wich makes me tthink that those kittys are the only ones that arnt ugly with them. you guys almost done harvest down there i think most people here are done or just have a bit left

Its got a Degelman Dozer and up above is the gps reciever. The hood is plastic so they had to make a frame for the magnetic reciever to mount on. I am guessing harvest is around half done in this area. Some of the milo won't dry down since it hasn't froze hard.

that pic of the volvo with the sunset behind it is one of the neatest pics ive seen in a long time. I wish it was blurry Id get it from you and blow it up and give it to the old man for xmas or something. I finished the field you were helpin us on today and moved to the next one and cut a sample and it was 18, so its goin to take a few days or a freeze. God I wish we could get this over with, Im tired of itchin and hackin up milo dust.
