CASE IH AF10 Combine Harvesting Corn 

For sure

The AF10 is an impressive harvesting machine.

It was the AF11 that they were using. He was talking about the big twin rotors.

Welkers

Claas did more than that with an 8600. One 8600

I'm sorry, but the math don't add up. At 4.7mph, 40' at 80% field efficiency does add up to 18.3 acres per hr. At 6500 bu. Per hour that's 361bu. Per acre, wet corn, OK maybe??? But..... 10 hrs. Per day that's 65,000 bu. for 1 machine, let alone 2. If he had said 100,000+bu. per day, then that's more like it. Never the less, it's a beast of a machine.

Not to sound insulting, but the Welkers crop yields, to most of the wheat growing world, are a lot lower yield per acre that most of the rest, it's not all that impressive to go through a crop that fast that's only yielding on average 20 bu/ac. This is not a jab at them, their ground can only do so much, they most likely will never push a huge machine to it's limit most of the time, hence why they use a class 8 horsepower size. They really don't need much bigger with how their crops yield. And most if us don't have fields flat enough to run a combine 10 mph, so once again, not that impressed really.

I saw his RU-vid video about AF11 combine. I have a picture of it by phone. I have 1/64 toy verison

It’s a great time of year.

Thank you for watching. You are just 3.5 hours from the field this AF10 was harvesting in.

@@bigtractorpower That's Awesome!!!

*cough* New Holland... *cough*

What's a twin rotor doing in a X9? Following New Holland Cough Cough

He should be able to explain the combine. Brandon Hunt, grandpa and dad own one of the largest Case IH dealerships in the Country, H and R Agri-power . Farming is their hobby as well as tractor pulling.

It’s the largest grain tank at 567 bu. The Claas 8900 is number two at 510 bu and the Fendt 10 is 3rd with 485 bu. Horse power wise the Claas 8900 and Fendt 10 are tied at 790 hp. The Case IH AF 11 and AF10 are tied at 3rd with 775 hp.

I was very impressed.

Ya she can handle a 16 row corn header no problem

this is the best In France olso

4 mph all day long!!!!!!

The farmer can give the best description of how it works.

The AF11 has two rotors. The AF10 and AF11 have the same specs other than the rotors.

No Welker had the AF11

Same farm and the same field from last fall. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the Ohio farm science review. Great show. I hope to go some day.

It pours out 567 bu and then the tank begins refilling.

Af 10 rotor is 30x 144.5” with 180 degree of concave wrap af 11 is 24x141” with 140 degrees of wrap I believe they are identical in every over way same width, hp grain tank ex. I think the 10 will keep up in crops where grain damage is a big concern like corn and especially beans might even out do 11 but 11 will have more capacity in grains

They also have an Af 9

@@markisb3585 Didn't know that either - when was that introduced or is it still undergoing prototype trials ? Any details of its stats ?

@jamesbarbour8400 They are videos where they introduce the Af 9 and Af 10. Also the Af 11

@@markisb3585 will have to have a search for those. Thank you for your reply.

Case IH’s website has not listed a build option for the AF series yet.

I saw another site say base track unit was $900000+ and head was close to $200K

The AF10s horse power and grain bin is the same as the AF11. The only difference is a single rotor vs. two rotors in the AF11.

@@bigtractorpower It takes more power to drive two counterrotating rotors than a single rotor since the two rotors are trying to pull the crop away from each other.

@@bigtractorpower As always Jason, thanks for excellent videos and I have been a subscriber for a long time. I like the idea of dumping on the go into a semi instead of into a cart. Less grain augering without a cart means less fines in the grain, less manpower required, less fuel used, less wear on machinery and higher profits. With a semi pulling a 40 foot trailer there would be approximately 500 bu or 15 tons on the 8 back wheels of the trailer. On the twin drive axles of the semi a fair distance forward of the rear wheels of the trailer, there would be roughly the same weight on these 8 wheels. With your average 1000 bu or 30 ton cart there are only 2 wheels to carry this load. 2 tracks compact a larger area and are more expensive to maintain than wheels. Green chopped corn forage silage is heavy and it is loaded into semis. Potatoes, sugar beet and various vegetable crops are unloaded on the go from the harvesters directly into semis. Check out this video of wheat harvesting and unloading directly into a semi trailer. 2024 crop report - box elder.

The AF11 has the same horse power as the AF10 at 775.

It has been very dry here. The ground is bone dry and has no give. It was nearly 100 degrees the day this was filmed. The farm strip tills which ridges the rows a bit and the tires are going over the furrow. There had not been rain for nearly a month with high heat.

@@bigtractorpower thanks I appreciate the reply

And I was a big John Deere fan? And still am in a way.

Yes. If you take pride in taking care of corn, it can yield up to 400 bushels

The AF10 was just introduced on 8/29/24. It is brand new. There is also an AF9.

The WFE 9700 was released in 1979. I have full history on the video at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rHFsYJQjz1o.htmlsi=BPHtxXr_EpynCqjt

The quad has def.

I am sorry I don’t follow the statement ?

@bigtractorpower your videos are some of the most informative videos about all the different brands of combines and tractors and I think they should be paying you for your efforts.

I normally always do, but Case Ih has not posted a list price for this machine yet.

It’s a million dollar machine

It will. More hp. More bushels grain tank.

The 8700 burns more fuel than the AF11.

Trust me an 8700 is very very efficient & proven. I beg of anyone to prove me wrong. I run a Claas 8700. This is my 3rd season. 18 row corn head & a 50' draper on alot of acres. Corn, wheat, & soybeans. And i am a red guy through & through.

This field was averaging 250 bu.
