That's some nice footage - must be a heck of a spread of land to require 4 x X9 -1100s - that's over $5 Million in combines alone ! Farm machinery is so expensive these days, I often wonder how anyone ever manages to break even, never mind turn a profit. Not a John Deere fan as such, but those combines are indeed hugely impressive to watch in action.
Thanks for your impressive video. How about unloading on the go directly into the trucks instead of augering grain into carts on th ego and then having to auger it out of the carts into a truck which makes for more grain fines. It would be ideal on the long straight rows and there are other advantages as well such as. Even though the truck tires are narrower than carts, the load is spread over 18 wheels instead of being spread over 6 tractor wheels or 4 tracks, 2 cart tracks or 2 or 4 wheels. Tracks compact a greater area of ground than wheels. Less fuel used and less wear on machinery. Less manpower required.
@@bennywurz2995 Thanks for your reply. I understand wheat harvesting with combines as I do it. Please check this video out below. This farmer in Montana dumps his combine on the go inta a semi truck. 2024 Crop Report - Box Elder Montana Wheat & Barley Committee ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aKFZH6RrvLA.html
Thanks for your video. Nice long straight rows would be an ideal place to dump into the trucks on the go instead of running back and forth with tractors and gain carts to the trucks trucks and wasting fuel. Less tractor operators and maybe none. Less augering of grain means less fines in the grain. With GPS; the unload auger spout could be tracking the centerline of the truck while dumping the grain and the truck could be auto steered to maintain the required distance from the combines header. Try it.
All things being equal the MRB move less ground and don’t pull rocks. The MRB also are prone to plugging with straw between scraper in heavy straw or tall stubble. Also all the moving parts. I don’t think we sacrifice with the shanks, and they are trouble free, zero maintenance. We would replace mrb discs tines and scrapers every 2nd year - we did 3 seasons on the current MRS opener and will get a 4th next season yet. Next drill we buy will be MRS as well. Only thing I don’t like is it takes longer to set the depth, no quick change method - take bolt out and move assembly down.
We normally do 4 headlands. We had a row of old maple trees we took out just in front of this area and they only did 2 passes around it - that’s why they had to back up.
