Oat yields were down a little last year. We were too wet in May and June. Harvested them on July 10 ish at 19% moisture and ran through a mixed flow dryer at 140 degree plenum. Works very well and gets oats off sooner before standability or anything else becomes an issue. Gets us able to plant the double crops sooner.
Overall my oats averaged 120 bpa last year. My 5 year average is 136 bpa on about 2500 acres. Test weights right around 40 lbs.
Two track setup is great in the field. Pulls better and smoother than wheels. Sucks on the road. Tractor handles the 36r30” well. Twin flow hydraulics so I do not use a PTO pump. If it’s too wet for the 380 to work, it’s too wet to plant. :-)
