Your videos are a pleasure to watch and to listen to you explain what is happening. What I wouldn't give to spend a day in the field watching all this.
Either those are some narrow roads or those are super wide machines. I’m thinking more of the latter. Wow! I imagine the grain carts have their work cut out for them when all the combines take off at pretty much the same time. Seems like they’d all fill up right about the same time. Gotta keep em moving!
We will do that next year. The 2016 wheat harvest ended about 3 weeks ago here. We will work on getting a shot of the crop in corn and soybean harvests.
+bigtractorpower Ok, but ya it would definitely be interesting to see what the stalk looks like as in how many ears of corn it has and what an ear of corn looks like, not that I have t seen it before because I have seen plenty just curious if it's any different, i.e. it has a ton of kernels or something. Thanks :)
This field will be planted in corn in 2017. The rotation is corn which is followed by wheat planted in October. The wheat is cute in June and soybeans are planted right behind the wheat. This farm raises corn, wheat, soybeans, tobacco as well as hay and cattle. I am not exactly sure how many acres they farm but it is over 20,000 acres. There is over 10,000 acres in corn each year and 10,000 acres of wheat. Plus the 10,000 acres wheat becomes 10,000 acres of soybeans in the same year so then the farm is cropping over 30,000 acres in a year.
They are. In past years the Garnetts have hosted the CLAAS Combine school. Dealers sales and service people from across North America came to the farm to get drive time in all five Lexion combine models so they could be well informed on each class of combine for their customers. Even though the school was held at the farm the Garnetts never got to try out a Lexion. This year they did as well as the employees.
This Garnett farms. They have over 10,000 acres in corn, 10,000 acres of wheat that also produces s second crop of soybeans in the same year. That is 30,000 plus acres of crops. They also raise a large amount of tobacco as well as hay for their cattle.
At 4:35, when you said that getting 80-90 bushels was considered pretty good for Kentucky, you’re saying that’s how many bushels that farmers are able to harvest per acre, correct?
CLAAS a Lexions are impressive. Another farm was cutting wheat across the road with s Lexion 760 on duals when this video was taken. It was right behind me as I filmed the combines on the road. We will share that 760 video soon.
Look forward to seeing that video as from UK we see lot CLAAS combines now in the fields on the tracks want be long now and fist combines should be rolling out here start combine season
Machine video+NO shitty music = Top quality machine video!!!!! THANK YOU! :) ps. What's up with the macdons? Why not JD/Claas headers? What is the benefit of MD's?
seems to happen fast.? wonder how much is missed, or makes it past, and is waisted,? has any one put another machine behind collecting,, and see if there is any being waisted, { left }.?
This is a family farm with 3 generations involved on a daily basis. It’s a large family and they have farmed in the same place since the 1850s. They are not pushing anyone out. They work hard.
We made a DVD in 2006 on the history of Case IH. We also helped with Big Iron DVD series. With all the Ag footage on RU-vid for free I am Not sure how popular DVD would sell today.
Why do those machines are so wide the front cutting system? and why 9 machines? in my country we use to cut rice or corn with only one machine and we earn the payment by HOURS , our coumbines have the same wide than the front cutting system , regards😎😃
Nope, they're designed to be pavement ready, not a problem at all. I believe factory track tractors do have lower road speeds than factory tire tractors, but don't quote me on that.
Just take care when you record so close ! specially behind the combine.. the combine can lloose a chopper knife, and it would kill you.. I spoke about it with the mechanic of my dealer, he saw it two times, onnce in the workshop, and the second time in the client's farm.... It
Not the model of efficiency. Spending setup and take-down time on all those for one field is ridiculous. Simplified, you have 9 combines, 9 fields. This way would mean 81 setups and take-downs, or take one combine to each of the fields. 9 setups and take-downs. It is Kentucky though.
AJ Lindvall then you would need 9 grain carts, 5 more than they have also even more management to see things run smoothly. Plus when they run in packs all the guys are together, just need one service/fuel truck and everyone is in the know of the game plan, i would rather have 10 combines in the same field for 2 hours vs ten different fields all day.
