Absolutely love your work! The narration and attention to detail is great; the best part is that you don't have music playing over the sounds of the engines. Thank you for the great videos!
My favorite times were when the dust just hung in the air. Absolutely still. Sometimes you’d raise and turn and be driving back through the dust of your last pass. And ohhh the sweet smells!
Fantastic video, haven't watched it all just yet, but loved watching some of the older vintage kit! Keep the films coming BTP, over here in England kit like this is very rare in deed, so seeing some big iron is awesome! Thanks again, and keep up the great work!
There is no other channel on RU-vid that shows the variety of farm equipment like bigtractorpower. You're not going to see Gleaner, Massey Fergusen, New Holland, Deere, or Case IH equipment all in one place. Not to mention the old iron and the new, which is really cool.
Thank you. Our number one goal is to cover all the brands. We like covering the newest releases and finding the classics. Hopefully we cand find some J.I. Case and WHITE Farm Equipment to add to the channel in 2017.
They plant soybeans right into the standing stem. Here is a BTP video that shows the process m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dNaYZGpyOCU.html The Axial-Flow combines cutting beans in the two clips before the Shelbourne footage are cutting the beans drilledin right after the Shoubournes. BTP caught the combines in the same spot in the field at sunset for wheat and bean harvest. Pure luck.
Great video. You always get some great shots on so many different farms. I'm a cash crop farmer up here in SW Michigan and your work is great! But I still have a question...what were they spreading at 55:00?
bigtractorpower Thanks for the reply! We've had chicken/turkey litter spread on my 1000 acre farm and some surrounding farms, but it's never been that dry/fine.
Even though I liked this video it was way to long. I would suggest that you make the next very long video into at least 2 parts. I usually catch a video here and there while doing other things. When I have to stop a long video my computer goes to sleep and it sometimes has trouble starting up again in the middle of a video. Still a good video. Thanks.
It is extra long. Hopefully people will be able to enjoy it over the holiday season when there is down time. I may repost the footage in two 27 minute blocks. BTP has footage of a huge 200 piece tractor and equipment collection on the way that will be extra long.
Nice video! I didn't know u guys had cotton there. And maybe I'll see one since I'm not done with the video yet but do u guys have any massy combines there
It's an extra long video. We did not film a Massey combine this year. It is a top goal of ours to film a Massey and Challenger combine. We spotted a nice new 9565 and a classic 850 on our trip to Iowa but they were both parked. Hopefully we can find some to film in 2017. The cotton footage is from our trip to Missouri. We have peanut harvest footage from that trip on the way as well.
It is a 305. We will have a full feature video on this 4wd. This same farm has serial #1 4W-220 as well. We do have a 4-220 planting corn video on our channel from the spring of 2011.
Thank you. 98% of the footage is new to the channel. Much of the video is previously unused footage from many of the BTP shoots. Many of the videos are brand new and are a preview of footage from videos BTP will post this winter.
farmall skittle I am pretty sure the main reason gleaner has their auger setup that way is so they don't have to use a vertical auger to get a horizontal auger tall enough to reach over grain carts and wagons. The grain is augered over from the grain tank into the auger instead of being auger over then lifted by one auger into the main unloading auger. It reduces some grain damage and and also the need for more power and chain drives to run a vertical auger.
Philip Logemann Sums it up pretty much. Except I do not believe the vertical auger has a separate drive belt/chain/etc. There is a gear box that connects the vertical and horizontal augers. I find it interesting how Gleaner sticks to their auger design while almost all other combines have changed to a vertical+horizontal unloading auger.
Luke Baumgartner It is interesting that they keep with that design. It's a much simpler design, and they have had a lot of time to perfect it. On the other hand, that auger sits lower and has to be a bit longer to make up the length of a horizontal auger. One thing for sure though, you know it's a Gleaner.
At one time every combine on the market had the pivot style unloading augar. Gleaner is the last to offer it. It is the most direct way to unload grain. John Deere has a prototype combine that pictures have surfaced off that uses a pivot unloading system. New Holland last used the pivot style on their TR99 and TR89 in 2001. International's last pivot was the 715 in 1979. John Deere offered pivot unloading on its entire combine line from the 3300 to the 7700 through 1978.
