John Deere 9900 12 Row Head Chopping Corn 

In 1972, we thought that we had productivity with a 5200 and 2 row - wow !!

I like that tab you're running all day yesterday and today

Once again some of the best farming video on RU-vid I love it when you guys are chopping your corn

Thanks for the great video. Both machines are monsters compared to the two row chopper on the farm I worked on in the early sixties. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

It's amazing how much material goes in that machine and it chews it up like that wow they have come a long way from the old pull type cutter lol great video god bless 2020Trump

The engine in the 9900 sounds like a locomotive when you open it up. Very impressive machine.

Nice machine. More productivity costs money. Thanks for a very fair dairy farmers walk around.

UNBELIEVABLE; 965 Hp on the 9900. Wow and we used to think our 4520 cranked up to 185 was a lot on our John Deere model 38. Chopper lot's of things have changed since 1974. Thanks for the video.

we picked up a used 7350 this year and it came with two processors, 1 regular and the other is a sheer processor. that was the first time we ve seen a sheer processor and don't know what's better but we put the roller processor in this year to do corn. thought maybe the sheer processor was for really dry corn. I think Andrew would do a wonderful job operating the 9900 and Andrew may let you keep the 8600 so you could still chop.

Always a great video! Thanks Andy!

That's a beautiful chopper. Nothing wrong with yours.

Andy that thing is a beast!! if you parked it in the shed for the winter every time you walked by it you would still hear a low monster GROWEL Like in the movie TWISTER YOW.

For as long as he has been doing the job, he knows exactly what he is doing

Machine sounds AWESOME!!!

That machine is an animal. Loved the drone shots

Kind of repeating other comments but it is amazing the power you need to put that much material through that machine AND blow it into a wagon or especially over a highway tractor into a trailer.

Hey Andy comparison of the 2 choppers that chopper had to a blast to try out! Keep up the good work.

What a machine. Makes quick work of a field.

Wow! Leather seats, dual exhaust, V-12, twelve row head....I wouldn't let it leave the property!

Nice machine Andy, you may get the cheque book out 🤔😉👍

9900 is a beast!!! My late father use to run two 8700s...they usually upgrade after each Silage season...I’m sure they’ll upgrade to the 9900

Imagine the v12 on straight pipes, she’d probably sing as good as the 4620 Baling, good video thank for the content, 🇺🇸

Great walk around

That is a monster! Cool video again 😎

That ol 3970 has come a long ways

You ,sir , have to be John Deere`s best salesman by far.

That's quite a CHOPPA! Back in 1981 at Empire Farm days they had a Stieger with a 6 row chopper mounted to the front it was impressive! It was two 3 row Hesston's married together running right off the Crank shaft! I think the biggest Deere at the time was a 4 row! who would have thought then there would ever be a 12 row! You should change the name to Farming Fixing Fabricating and wrecking Shit! LOL! Love the Videos!

Wow that's some money in the field

Excellent video well done top job top team awesome thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

She fairly pumpin it out the chute boss. 🇦🇺🤙

Being awesome 99.9 % of the time is tough! We will over look the .1%!!!! LoL # Stuff that truck Andy!# Love your videos!

Went by your place today, you have a beautiful farm

wow that looks like a monster chopper

That 99 throws a nice stream of silage

Hello from Canada great videos thanks for sharing

Just listen !!!! Just listen to that w900!!!! Excellent

Good evening Andy..... another good video... I wish we videoed the tiling of that field so your viewers could see how wet the lower end of that field was last year.... it was so dry this year there's not much way of knowing if it worked... you also did a tillage video from that field in the spring... you should have just parked that 9900 in the shed next door for the winter and told caz you lost it

956hp V12 - Impressive!

It’s hard to imagine how much material that machine can cut.

Really nice wide control. here in NCWI everything was good until Sept and then the nutsedge came in

Two mighty harvesters

i love the 9900

Love what you show and how well you deal with all the issues of farming. As a new subscriber, your cover photo shows 2 milk tankers backed up to you milking barn, but have not seen or heard of the milking side which pays the bills. Would you mind sharing that side of the story? Thanks

enjoyed the video thanks andy

My wife always gets farm equipment for her birthday!!!

Good heavens that’s a big bunch of feed man

That’s pushing it out the chute with authority!

Well look on the bright side holidays just around the corner.😁😁😁

That is my land! :) Always so cool to see my farm online. 4:20-4:35 for a nice shot of my barns and my mother's house.

That's a busy machine

ANDY THAT IS SOME GREAT INFORMATION VERY INTERESTING STUFF NOW I KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT I'LL BE OVER TO BORROW YOUR EQUIPMENT LOL 😄 THANKS FOR SHARING VIDEO 👍🇺🇸 .P. S. THAT IS QUITE AN OPERATION YOU HAVE GOING 👍

Good stuff. Impressive

Glad to see Deere has stepped up there chopper game. They always had awesome performance in hay/grass but just couldn’t cut in corn. We run a 980 Claas and I’m thinking that 9900 would be a close second to it. We went from a 7980 Deere to the 980 and that 980 was twice the machine the Deere was. That newer processor is how the Claas processor is setup with temp monitors and oil bath. I think you would love a Claas. You can even get them Greenstar and HarvestLab ready.

In the truck andy!

Very nice are you going to get one enjoy the videos 👍👍

Good evening how is it going we are stuck with a pull type my neck always hearts after a day all ways loved the Self propelled choppers and I have a channel also we farming Wisconsin Dells and I am 14 years old

Awesome comparison video. Missing the price point for each. Even a ball park figure would be eye opening. Might prevent weekend warriors from thinking they can buy one to harvest their garden.

Deere needs to readjust the the idle down in big corn it could plug up if had to pull the stick back quick

You know there going to keep sending that till you buy one!😁

Bellissimo video 🙋‍♂️ 🌈 🌞

I’m in Northern Ireland and the agricultural contractors local to me got the first 9900 off the production line, I have a video on my channel

that sure makes my newidea unisystem 3 row look slow . but its paid for

Hi Andy great video 👍🏻 I’ve got a question , on that semi you were filling at the beginning how much silage actually fits in that ? In acres ?

Nice comparison between the 2 choppers. If you were to buy one of the two which would would you pick?

Dam andy that 9900 eating the hell out of. The corn sweet

that looks like it is a little challenging watching the chopper and making sure the shoot keeps positioned right in the truck bed!

I’d sure hate to have to buy that kp belt on the 9900 😳

Guessing only a couple farms in NY could actually use that monster machine. Wondering if the updated kernel processor will produce more milk. Guessing some kind of trade off. Love how it cuts a two lane road thru the field

Nice

The first question I had was what's under the hood! A buzzing dozen! What's the fuel economy comparison and what oil is used for the bearings? Because we both know seals fall.

Grtz from Belgium

You might say she has plenty of power to get the job done haha

great vid yep

When your chopping are you using auto steer and just need to manage the discharge shoot or are you steering? Thanks for the video Andy!

Is most of the silage going in horizontal bunks? Seams like a lot.. but you’ve got hungry cows and I need milk and ice cream.. thanks

My concern would be : Can the 9000 w/ 12 row give you the production greater then the 8000 w/10 row. Added expense of DEF ( alot of it while operating) bearing oil on the processor, and much larger engine maintenance that would be more involving and require greater dismantling just to perform the work. Seems like 2 rows more in production can not overcome the added fuel, fluids, and downtime involved. Make sense Andy? I for one would like to hear your thoughts, given your production experience and current outlay on performance in the field.

It's a monster

That 9900 is awesome! I was thinking when I was a little guy riding in the truck with my Dad while chopping corn and was wondering if you ever caught the open window with a blast of chopped corn? I know it happened back then!!!

It seems like you're loosing a good bit of fodder but that thing is a beast.

You going to get a new one Andy? you would look good in that thing.

If the other is payed for and giving no problems stick with it . Just saying ,you can do what you want and do what your billfold will let you .Hammer down!

Now here’s the deal, you need to upgrade the chopper. That thing is a beast. ( that was my imitation of sleepy Joe ) at the beginning.

i rode in that exact chopper

I just looked up the cost of that 9900. Sweet G******

I still think that make a kick ass snow blower. Lol

That's a mean machine holy cow poop

Lotta money...

Nice video Andy. Lots of info. When you ordering yours.

Is kaz equipment just going to leave the demo there permanently for you and take the 8700 lol

Good evening

Damn that corn dried down FAST! If we had corn that dry in went in the Harvestor silos instead of the concrete. Andy, do you typically try and get it off greener and do you get good fermentation that dry in the bunkers?

Expensive mulch 😂

Seen a little coal rolling at 3:05 from that beast

How often do you chisel the headlands/end row section of the fields?

With the bigger head and added power do gain 20% in productivity?

Another 9900 is the same?

I don't recall anything being said about the cutting drum on the two choppers. Same width? Same knives (size and count)? Blower the same?

Should mix some iron maiden in there

It would be great if you could tell us what each person in the chain is responsible to do. Who's responsible for getting the shoot and truck lined up with what, and then who makes sure that the truck is filled evenly.

Andy it's unreal how much that machine can handle all that trash. Awesome Drone footage!! What's your speed overall? 12 rows doesn't take long. Lol!! Great explanation between both machines. Is there a magnet detector on the chopping head to avoid any serious damage to the machine? Andy great vid as always keep them coming, seeya at the next one. Be safe!!
