Farmer I've been helping has combined enough to fill the tandem truck 3x, it's 35 cu. yds. struck (water level) not sure how that converts to bushels. He's got roughly 200 acres of his own, and I think he may have some to do for a nearby dairy operation, as they don't chop all their corn, most but not all.
6620 JD with a 6 row corn head, oversize tires,( have to use care, concern is about the axles from what I heard ) and it's been converted to rear axle drive from a 7000 series, in short they've put a lot of money into this one. It is set up to get through those wet spots, the ruts I fixed from it last year while planting were unreal, I like how it's set up now.
I'm busy re-building one of our barns, partial collapse, old but still worth fixing, so I may not get too involved with their harvest, but his son sure is a worker, all after a regular job and weekends, can't get done soon enough for him, sure makes for some long tiring days. If involved, I would be running the gravity wagon and or trucking the grain 35 miles south, which seems to be the thing that takes the most time, so that combine can keep working, only other issue is breakdowns on the combine, thought it seems they have done well with maintenance and repairs, been well greased since we did the oats.
It looks like a decent yield considering the weather we had, but the moisture is still up, not sure what the numbers are, he's started where it is dry enough, could be awhile before it's all done.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
