Sorry to say, as neat as it sounds, it does not work very well...your sieves will ice over. of course the amoung of time it will take depends alot on your air temperature outside. just curious where are you arIJ hope this saves you a headache, beh
If you are going to try to go in the snow at all, make sure your machine has been sitting outside in the cold so the inside of the machine is cold. Open both big shields to let heat dissipate. I have had a lot of experience doing corn in snow and nothing really works well. If there is just a dusting of snow on the stalks and it is really cold like -15 most of it will blow threw. Here north of Woodstock we have to much snow to even attempt running. Need rain then cold weather with no snow, these are the harvest years that age people.
Southwestern Ontario. Approx. 6 miles North of Tillsonburg. I take it that your new Ski-do is a form of stress releif!! Sounds like you might have a good start with this snow.
I took a drive up to Tavistock on Saturday and seen that the corn in your area is very also very flat. Drove past the Pioneer research farm and it has also seen better days. I agree with what you said about aging, I can feel it already.
Boy, I really feel for you guys. Is it very likely that it will get warm enough to melt the snowIJ Flat corn sure is a drag. The corn reels seem to work pretty good. Research suggests they don,t save much corn but speed up the harvest speed alot. Best of luck for a miserable situation. We're praying for you! Steve
As I'm sure you have seen, we harvested some corn just down the road from ya. Started at 8 pm and had to quit at 2 am because it clouded up and warmed up. Then at 6:30 we got rolling again. We were just quiting at 9:30 there when you drove buy pulling that disc. The sieves were no problem, dry as a bone.
Hey there lance rightIJ Hows things goin out your way. How did the harvest go for your brothers this year. I saw them a time or two during the year. I traded my mxzs in and got 2 summit highmarks should have got the revs but didnt. If you plan a trip out to wy this year get in touch with me and well have to go sleddin...
Useless how in the world do you know who I amIJ I indeed did pass a lot of guys combining corn this morning. Was that you up at the wilcox farm with your new stsIJ It didn't look like you where enjoying yourself with your side panels wide open but there comes a time you just can't wait!! I see that you got some more corn done for the graydons!! Goodluck with the rest of your harvest!!
