Foggy day..... It never ceases to amaze me at mans ability to design and produce machines to make life just a little easier. .. Nice vid..! Thanks again, Greetz. .. Gordon in Maui.
Daniele Giraud 1) Thats is a hammer mill.. 2) The reason why they doing that is the drive a long distance result less wear on tires. Also if they stuck in the mud the fendt can driving back to get out ,here a video .. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WFJXggt1PI8.htmlm54s Thanks for watching :)
Hello Leo Iezzi I have asked New Holland AG but they say u can ask a service point or a subdealer about how much cost a CX 860. The farmer hire a contractor (AGcompany) with much equipment and they come harvesting their corn. Thanks for watching! :)
+jacob bennett Are you sure? I bet it's a lot more than that! A friggin' single-engine Cessna Caravan costs 1.5 million. But then, airplanes always cost more than they should, because for some reason, safety is a huge. obsession with aircraft, even though cars are much more dangerous.
What is the red piece of equipment that the harvester is offloading into, and what is it's purpose? I've been around corn harvesting in mid Michigan but I've never seen anything like that.
I see! I was thinking, instead of messing about with two tractor/ trailer units, why not ask Volvo to convert one of their articulated dumptrucks to a grain hauler with a built on folding auger? Would be less costly in the long run! Good/ bad idea?
judderman37 We think alike. Just a tad heavy perhaps since they built for a heavier duty than required here. But there is also the Big A. Think they would make great bank out. When I harvested rice in California, They had bank outs, local term, or transfer hopper or what you will , with tractor sized wheels, no cab and a fat V8 on the front. They were fun.
I don't think it would be that heavy! I think a Volvo A40d would make a great grain hauler, saves a lot of hassle with tractors and trailers, (after all they have a 6x6 wheel drive!) just thinking on the economy side of farming! I have a few ideas, like a tracked Grader for the ozzie outback roads and really muddy conditions like Alaska gold mines!
Ok well, I do agree that it would be an ideal tool, but after your reply I choose to have a look. These things are 31.3 tonnes, or over 68000 pounds empty..... A tractor and trailer might come in at 18 tonne, but that would be it. Yes it could have a huge capacity, but would not appeal here in most of western Europe for the simple reason that the soil does not dry out completely and hence would cause much harm to the soil that one then has to rectify with a ripper. In the US, Australia however, it is not deemed quite such an issue and then it may be ok. One other thing however is that you can drop yer triler and stick yer expensive tractor on a plough. This thing could spread manure or fert with a different tool on the back, but stil a major investment. If you go contract harvesting it may appeal more, but what we now see is rubber tracked bunker trailers pulled by rubber tracked tractors. Both easier on the wallet as well as better utility. Do the sums and if you think it's affordable, then go ahead. This is not farm simulator, this is real life. I shall assume we're dealing with real life here.
