00:00 Hey y'all, this is Chad Henderson with Extreme Mag and I'm here with Johnny Rell. We come to his field day, man, it was a great field day. 00:05 It was a little warm, but other than that, sun shining, we got to shell some corn. We come out here with some 85, 88, 89, 80 00:12 something day corn. It was about 150, 160 bushel corn. And you know, we always talk about you just can't quite get to the end. 00:20 You know, any farmer knows we're gonna load a tank up. Like we ain't never going to dump. We're gonna load it all the way up. 00:24 This truck terminal's running off, not now. So if you'll see behind us, we got this GCO a hundred bushel set up under here, 00:30 A hundred bushels set up, we bolted on it comes with a complete kit. Anything you need, all the hardware 00:34 and stuff takes you probably three or four hours to put it on. We bought a couple 'em this year just to try it out, see 00:39 how it went, make sure it didn't give us no issues. But like Chad said, you always almost get to the end of the row and you're full and you got 00:45 corn on both sides of 'em. You're having to back all the way out or try to wedge in and cut a spot for the grain cart. 00:50 We're gonna give this a shot, I'm sure Chad, just like normal. We're still gonna run it over. 00:54 Probably make a bigger mess now. But, uh, in all reality, just trying to be a little more efficient. 00:58 You know, we're all running multiple combines and that way it just gives you a little bit longer for those grain carts to get back 01:03 and get that grain out there. And you Know, when we get into some really good corn, you know, irrigated corn, you know, even when you get up there 01:08 and we're making 200, 250 bushel with corn, dude, we're running 12 rows, 16 row heads. Kevin Matthew's got a 24 row head. 01:15 Yeah man, you just can't get enough grain tank. And it's not to say that you gotta fill it every time, but you've gotta have that 01:20 option to get to the end of the row. It's about the efficiency. Yeah. And you literally still push your button in the cab, 01:24 your hopper tanks fold in just like they do from the factory. So you're not having to get out 01:28 and do anything, not pull any pens. It's a great setup. Simple. That's, And even with you trade and combines, you know, 01:33 it's not a big deal to take on and off. There's nothing stationary. So, hey, we looking forward to more, 01:37 more use useful this Bim Go Kit. Kit. We're gonna keep it coming and keep these things full. Yep. Let's go. Shove some corn. Let's go.
