brahamfireman Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I've put 100 acres on the new to me 1688. Love the machine, beans on the heavy ground are doing great considering the year. Just finish 30 acres on the sand, they did better than I expected too! Added bonus pic of the 806 wheatland on the auger, transferring beans, blending..... Dads 806 under the auger, its still midway through its paint job so no hood and the 856 custom pulling the green wagon. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we don’t celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel, until the combine is being backed in the shed the night we finish, then it’s actually like a light in the tunnel, and then we celebrate! Worst that can happen then, shed door won’t shut, or falls off!! 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerFixEmUp Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I took out about 3000 bushels of corn Saturday. The latest was 105 day Pioneer PO589 and was about 18.5 % moisture. The other loads were 98 to 102 day Wyffel's, at about 16.4%. Going in the bin, will just air dry at that rate. The propane in my tank is going on 3 years now. Have to check the burner to be sure it works. Soybeans here were a little bit disappointing. Just over 50 bushels an acre but more rain sure would have helped. And I have about 2 acres of sandy sidehills that yielded 0. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitty Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Got started at 2 yesterday afternoon. Was 14% at two local mills . Storm coming so I did what I could and got both grain carts full . Sorry I should have had someone take pictures but this is all I got 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichow7120 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Some more pictures of our bean harvest. Spent 3 hrs in this line. Have 50 acres left but rained last night and going to rain more today so it will be a few days before we can go back at it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my corn done that I wanted to, got the grain head on the machine, will try the beans tomorrow. We did get frost last night, that has to be a good thing. Yes 1460, We have a 1480 we run corn with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall1066 Posted October 13, 2022 Author Share Posted October 13, 2022 Thankfully a tire didn’t find these, but the cutter bar on the draper head did! foot is there for reference on size! Both found in the same spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Plow Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Finished today....one farm corn went 236, the other 242. Beans 74.....very happy with yields. 1460 needed a starter, separator drive v-belt idler, and turbo (after freak precleaner/aircleaner fire took it out)....but for a 45 year old machine it did well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you replace the turbo with? TO-4 or something more modern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked all day getting the combine ready, and at 6:00 this evening, the dust began to roll! Probably could have got a truck load out today, but we updated the combines air filter setup, to a pre cleaner style. That took a little longer than I thought it would have. But we’ll be ready to go after it tomorrow!! Good luck! Looks kind of like my area! Hills n trees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used off of a 1680 with IH 466, not sure what it was, but it gave her just a little bit more power (scientifically gauged by "butt dyno"). 1680 it was taken off of my end up being our next machine if a deal can be struck.....

My 1460 is running like a wild man after the pump and injector job this year. I may be crazy but it seems like its using less fuel too. One thing on the fuel consumption, last year I just couldn't get the beans, (and volinteer corn), through it. Was not an issue this year.

Ours seems to be using less oil now......maybe the turbo bearing was starting to go bad and it was drinking a sip or two through the intake....hard telling. At least the incident didn't seem to hurt the engine internals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t surprise me, better pressure feeding the nozzles, better atomization in the cylinders, I bet it runs like a new machine!!!

FarmerFixEmUp Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Did 2 yield checks on corn yesterday. 172 at 15% and 179 at 17.2%. 98 and 106 day corn. About 30 or so bushels off last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
