I never in a million years would have thought that could ever work. :>(

Went out there early this morning when the grain was tough, took the tension off the haybine rollers and made a round in the oats field.

Works slickern' takin' a sock off a rooster!

Now, if the darned ground would just dry up so I can get it put down. Seems we got a heck of a rain out there the other night. Can't believe I'm worried about getting stuck out there on that dryland farm.

In the meantime, I'll swap the combine over to the pickup head. :>)

Thanks Pard,

Allan

My dad and uncle used New Holland haybines to swath oats and barley for years. One tip, if you look on the end of the rolls there should be shims that set the spacing between the rolls. With the tension off the rolls we made blocks from peices of 2X4 and bolted them in place of the shims. This gave 1 1/2 clearance between the rolls that helped reduce shelling even more. Also slowing the reel helped to.

Thanks Scott,

I'm gonna go out there and hit 'em when the dew is down at 2 or 3 am in the morning just like I used to do in the bean fields.

If the ground has dried out enough from the rain so I can keep from sinking to the axles, I think will work just fine.

I was really surprised how little shelling that thing did this morning when I made that round. :>)

Didn't have time to answer this morning. in my experience oats do need to be swathed (windrowed). In my part of the world you couldn't farm any am't of grain without a swather. Never had much luck straight cutting oats. BTW keep an eye on those tough/damp/wet oats. Nothing heats quicker than tough oats unless it is ground up tough oats. You do NOT want 100 bushel of tough oats on the bottom of a bin or you could lose the whole binfull PFQ. I know this can happen, and will again.

Yes Sir,

Got 'em strung out in the bottom of the truck to dry out.

When I "stirred" 'em this morning, kinda got the idea of just dumping the whole batch in a gulley somewhere. Just a darned mess and I sure don't want 'em in the bin.

We use to dump wet grain in a barn floor scattered out to dry and then scoop it up with loader later to mix in a batch of feed in grinder. Wet barley or oats works good like that in ground feed. It'll just turn black in a bin.
