Who cuts at 28%? Your grain will probably be refused at that moisture?Man and machine enjoy 13% over 28% any day

I did it in 2009 & 2012Who cuts at 28%? Your grain will probably be refused at that moisture?
As I say I'm not making excuses for the weather, I was only saying that's the perfect way to cut it that's all.Hang on now Are you serious? How are we supposed to cut every field the same day when they were say 20% moisture? Crops that were 20% Sunday were 12 yesterday
I did a few tonnes in the WB this year…..obviously stopped then but these things happen.Who cuts at 28%? Your grain will probably be refused at that moisture?
If its a salvage job sure, I doubt you intended that?I did it in 2009 & 2012
Yep, salvageIf its a salvage job sure, I doubt you intended that?
Myself and the brother in law cut wheat at 42% . You could only half fill the tank . I had a wire brush on a pole to scrape the inside of the combine. We were able to drive the bray loading shovel up on the heap of grain . It was like those bean sprouts stir fry you get in a chinese restaurant . We had to redry it during the winter as the first run only stabilised it . We never stopped for dinner and were eating during the nine O Clock news and saw the weather forecast with heavy rain coming . The tame contracctors father was cutting a field of standing wheat for us and we went back out and cut until we got rained off . The brother was going home and he heard Lady Diana was injured in a car crash .Who cuts at 28%? Your grain will probably be refused at that moisture?
I was in the same situation with Geraldine Monday but I persisted with it and I had a few Walker losses, moistures were 14.8 to 13.7, it’s straw was baled this eve and only just fit. It was not very enjoyable cutting itWe left a field of Geraldine on Tuesday because even though the grain was 13 the straw was pure silage, regardless of how slow the combine went losses in the straw was too much. Returned this evening and its much improved but the moisture is now 11.5

I’ve no air con these days so I had my underpants over itPut your Hat over the loss monitor .
Mine gave up today also. I got out of the cab around 3 o'clock and it was colder standing in the sun than it was in the cab.I’ve no air con these days so I had my underpants over it
We're those the big bollicks you were on about?I’ve no air con these days so I had my underpants over it
With this type of heat you don't get a chance it literally goes from unfit 23% one day to 15% the next. I cut 10ac field yesterday that was a first barley ley, every head standing, straw like silage and it was 14.9 and 13.2, it was sown the end of April should have been nowhere near fit, the funny thing was it was the cleanest sample even though it was "false" ripe, not a bit of beard to be seen. You couldn't have enough output at the moment just to get it in pronto because it's so ghot moisture will just drop off to nothing. Finished baling last night at 10:30 moisture was around 9 still, you'd be lucky to get that in the middle of the day normally, bales stopped turning in the chamber yesterday, had to stop baling between 2 and 6.I'm only going on the old saying.. allways believed the best weight to sell grain was 20 to 22, I know nothing about your b*llox to be fair. I understand there is a heat wave but seriously? I know there are lads with huge acres but to let it go to 13%..
Takeall is bad this year and I believe could be way worse next year, but depends on what the 2nd crop is after.Anybody with 2nd wheats and how are they doing?
I'm having some thoughts.....

None this year but I had the 3 previous years and the first 2 got on well actually nearly my best wheat crop in 2020 only to be brought back down to earth with a bang last year so didn't chance it this year for luck maybe.Anybody with 2nd wheats and how are they doing?

I wouldn't, just too much money involved now.Winter Oats last year, barley for a good few years before.
Mad notion maybe.
Wheat all collected, 166.45 tonnes at 15.1% and average 77.4 kph off 11.93 hectares, 5.65 t/acCut wheat here yesterday, just one field this year, Graham for seed, yielded very well, a pleasure cutting. Moistures under 15%
Kept the straw for myself

In fairness, you should be a bit more than, happy enough, with just shy of 5ton crop of wheat😎😎. Throw in grain prices and that's bankWheat wrapped up here Saturday, yield was 4.52 @12 moisture. Happy enough with the considerable rabbit damage in the field. Yield monitor showing 5t+ across most of the field but some areas had nothing left, more regrew but amounted to very little.
