Well I’m def not a grain dryer virgin anymore. Started to get my head around the machine rightly now. 100t of wheat at between 22-24% moisture. Learned a lot this past few days. Mostly how little sleep I can get🙈🙈
Ah I see. I bought a new holland in the end. 2004 cx820. Would have liked to stay with deutz but just worried about backup on the newer ones. What did u go for yourself?
Yeah I can see how that would happen. Just wondered about the higher and lower moisture in the mix. What’s the ideal moisture to dry down to to keep. 14%?
I seen Kenny had his for sale recently but it’s sold now another neighbour of mine Robert Moore has 2 and he says he will keep me right anyway just don’t want to be pestering him all the time.
Fair enough on genuine belts then. When blending like that does it all dry down equally. Like if u have one dried pickle at 14 and a wet one at 24 will the dry one not go any lower?
You’d wonder if there is any difference in the genuine one or not though. My uncle used to work in a belt factory and they were making belts one time for bmw. He said the only difference was an embossed stamp was put on those belts. Same every other way. Maybe for this application though they...
Ha ha. If we waited here for it to be 15% we wouldn’t need a combine. 17-18 is normally best for winter barley. Spring could be up to 22. Same for wheat. Just finished winter barley on Sunday and spring barley is likely 4-5 weeks away yet.
I cut wheat in the past for crimping at 45% moisture. Was far too green for crimping never mind drying. Bubble up auger in tank used to run it to mush. Not good stuff on a combine.
Always sold grain at harvest off the combine. Local mill takes it. They aren’t keen on wheat though especially this year. Talking about barley price for it. I reckon id get more if I dried and stored it a while.
