John Deere S790 First Impressions 

You can program the button you use to raise the head (1,2,or3) to lower and slide back the reel to bump the beans onto the belt as the head raises so no piles at the end. There are so many little set up/ button programming tricks you can do with the reel and hydo flex it will blow your mind. Once you know it, it’s easy.

I must say I have a whole new appreciation for farmers wherever they are in the world. Thank-you for educating, entertaining and enlightening me. an avid follower from Ontario, Canada.🌽💛

Cole, I’m really glad you had two combines available because you were able to keep going with the Deere after the Case broke down. It’s really interesting to hear your initial impressions of the Deere - I’m grateful to the equipment dealer for letting you demo the combine so we can see what it’s capable of doing.

Momma corns star, it is a honor that we get to see you on Cole's channel. Mom to the rescue to save the day. 🥰

Nice honest first impression on the S790 Cole even though it is 6 years newer. Seems like your getting the hang of the John Deere settings and Kudos to Chet Larson for the help for sure. You can clearly see the Beans popping over the head in today's video, I'm sure that's why The Larsons run the Crary Air bars on both of their combines ..... Saves a bunch of header loss for sure. It really is great that Van Wall has set you guys up to try and compare the Red vs Green on your farm. As always Thank You for bringing us along on your Journeys, See you tomorrow hopefully!

Thank you for showing us about you machines. As a non farmer I found everything interesting. Nice to see your Mom.

Thank you Van Wall for providing this combine. I will never buy a combine, but this was very informative and good PR for you, Deere and those tires.

I just love watching your family farm. Thank you for feeding us and the world.

Cole, def one of the best educational videos you have made so far. Nice job!

Again, it is so nice that you have each other to keep the farm running. While Cooper works on one, to get it back in the field, Cole is out there knocking out the beans. Nothing is stopped or lost. I think of the John Deere and the Case like Ford and Chevy. They are both the best there is, and each one has something better than the other. Just need to choose what works best for your needs.

I was worried about Cooper’s hair getting caught and pulling him in the machine. Be careful.

Hi Cole , glad to see you are getting a chance to run a Deere Combine. If you want to have a different layout on your main screen, you can select the Main menu button (lower right green squares) and select Layout Manager, then you can choose what you want on your Run Pages. Some are Preset from the factory, but you can create your own custom ones from many of the features. The program will give you different sizes of the boxes you can choose from to build up your Run Page. And you can also move them around to suit what you want. Don’t be afraid to have a play with it. You can also touch on some of the boxes on the display, and they will open up to show even more information. Hope you enjoy the rest of your time with it. And yes, a Crary wind system is a must for what you guys harvest. Good luck with the rest of your harvest, from Australia. 👌👍🙂

What I see in this area of SW Kansas is that the farmers who are either green or red and no in between, they are more rigid in their farming methods. They stay with what is familiar and don't want to mess with crossover info. Other farmers tend to find the fit that works best for each task. If the service is about the same in regards to repair and diagnostics capability they don't care about the color but what best serves their operation. Great video!

Hey Cole, Thanks for the thorough walkthrough! We run a MacDon draper, which is basically identical to your Case. You can adjust the draper belt speed using the little lever on the head's main hydraulic block just to the left of the feeder house. There's a little access panel you can flip up.

Two things you need to carry on your combine: 1. A leaf blower. 2. A infrared thermometer to look for hot bearings and belts when you take a break.

Thanks Cole for another great video, I liked how you explain the difference between the 2 combines that was really interesting.

Hope DC got to say HI to Sable at the elevator sometime during harvest miss seeing her in the videos. Keep learning Cole great video as usual.

Cole you do a great job in educating people on farming. My brother runs our family farm and he is amazed at how young you are and the amount of knowledge you have.

It’s is awesome to see your family work together the way you all do

It's sure good to see Mama corn star. She doesn't get near the credit that she deserves for the operation.

I miss Summer! I hope she and Jay are well.

Nice features on that combine. It's going to be intresting in regards to your final opinion of the two machines. I enjoyed watching the video, keep up the good work harvesting. Big thumbs up

You mentioned a lot of beans on the ground with the John Deere. The millineal farmer had that problem and someone told him to reset his screens. Watch the last few videos of his bean harvest and he will explain what he did.

Glad Chet Larson was able to help you out with the tractor Cole. Glad you have a great friend like him. He is awesome.

Love seeing the progress of your hard work it has definitely made a positive impact

When you come to the end slide the reel back to clean up the beans when you rise it 👍 they are a amazing machine

Is glad you're liking the John deere! Once you go deere you'll never go back.

Iam sitting here so interested in all the combine things. Thank you Cole for your input.

Thanks to ALL you farmers' hard work.

My friends from NIU still send Christmas cards to remind me of us as friends 40 years ago, a habit I have not yet adapted . Makes them more special. Thanks

Best feature with the Green Machine. That it made it thru an whole espoid without breaking down.

Great video! Love watching y'all work in the field!

I just found you for the sewing videos but I’m equally excited to stay for the house renovation content! I’m so excited to watch your new adventures

I remember when we got our 9600 back in the 90s thinking this thing is a spaceship. they can't get more advanced than this .

I'm from Iowa. I might be biased- but I really like John Deere, Kinze, Pella Windows, Amana Refrigerators, Vermeer, and Iowa State Fair. Seems like supporting local is a very good thing for us. Casey's, Kum and Go and Hy Vee are good also. Just saying. Buy local when possible.

Cole great to see u cutting beans in a green machine u were blessed to have it for demo while cooper is working on your case ih u guys keep farming an I will keep watching

I'm glad you got professional advice from Chet Larson.

Hi Mama Cornstar so nice to see you, hope you are doing well.🙂

Try a Gleaner combine. They have etremely clean samples and are light - weight and easy to repair. I think they will work very well for your operation. Love your videos!

That’s cool Chet is giving you some pointers . ❤❤❤. Good fellas.

hey. I'm not into Deer or Case. but I am surprised by the machine. quality, modern, capable, advanced,... I like your unbiased approach. I hope you don't have problems and everything will go as normal. best of luck.

Have photos of my dad and his parents in the field in South Dakota with 2 horses pulling a plow . My grandfather built a box for his toddler aged son to sit in on the plow. My dad died at age 97 years and got to see a man on the moon and a computer on the desk. Amazing

I think the Case ran alot of acres. Like I always hear all colors break. I guess it boils down to parts and dealers and how they take care of you. Obviously John Deere wants to be seen on all the RU-vid Channels. And I think you have a popular channel. Well done.

I can’t believe I’m a 72 year veteran old man watching and enjoying a 26 year old kid teaching about farming and life.

Great video Cole! I'm a Deere guy so I'm excited to see a green machine on your farm.

You should get a 2020 9250 beside the 2020 s790 for a real comparison cause this is like comparing apples to oranges

What a great video! Love learning about the equipment you use.

So interesting to compare the two combines! I have learned so much from all of you! Thanks!

This is fascinating. When you're comparing these, don't forget to take into account the six additional years of technological development on the JD. If you had a 2020 Case it might also do things the 2014 Case doesn't. I'd also add that you added the LED lights to the Case, so it would presumably be pretty easy to upgrade all the JD lights to LEDs as well. What you ARE certainly proving is the worth of the Crary air bar.

Hey Cole with the JD, I’d recommend you use the HarvestSmart feature! It limits your speed based of engine load, you’d love it! Also the screens are super customisable, just got to the Layout Manager tab and away you go!

Love that green paint

The longer you run the JD the more you will like it 👍 of course I like green paint!! I just see you guys haven't had the best luck with the case since you have had it. I guess bottom line is it's your money do as you wish 👍

So glad you guys are trying the green!!!! Welcome to the Deere side.. all the red ones in our area are having nothing but issues

I love watching your videos. I have learned a lot about farming, combines, and some of the business ends of it all. Very cool. Ty

If you have the orange button (near the parking brake) that has an H on one side and a L one the other, that’s how you set your maximum field speed. It only works in first gear and to set the target speed you have to go to “toolbox” (I think) in the PRO700.

My heart jumped when I seen precious Cooper under that loud powerful machine, with his hair blowing. I prayed that God would keep your amazing family safe this harvest season. Great weather, two combines, you are so blessed! Entertaining real life video, thank you again.

We all Love Chet and his Crew 🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Absolutely amazing the IT applications to farming machinery our great grandparents would also be absolutely amazed

Sounds like we might be seeing an s790 join the Cornstar family. Great video once again!!!

Good to see you Fella’s, Hello MCS.

Love watching your videos, a lot of flooding over here in northern Victoria, Australia. A lot of our local farmers have lost majority of their crop, had to relocate livestock and horses, using boats to rescue horses and cattle, it's absolutely insane

Get it get it go happy harvesting

I had the amazing fun of a corn field fire in Lake Benton Minnesota yesterday. I ran out of fire extinguisher fluid and had to tap dance in a 30 mile an hour wind trying to keep the fire from the main field. I called the fire department when I started tap dancing fortunately they got here before it burnt the main field. They had a disassembled brand new Wind Tower in the middle of my field I was really worried it would catch $3 million dollars worth of Wind Tower blades and nacelle on fire. The fire was caused by an alternator which had a failed bearing. On Windy days it might be better to combine on the downwind side of the field

i know the grain bin debacle is still ongoing but man i wish you the best of luck getting it figured out and moving on to using it more! all these work arounds to fill other bins seems like such a hassle when you've spent the time and money on a bigger (supposedly) easier solution.

Mama Colestar is awesome ... more facetime please! Cole, Your behind-the-scenes-everyday-family stuff is Solid Gold to us subscribed-bell ringing-longtime-viewers!

I found this video to be very educational and i was really able to understand everything Cole was saying... Nicely done Cole

I am a John Deere guy and they make a bean saver kit for the heads now. There is a curtain that goes in the opening that keeps a lot of the beans from flying out.

Every Color breaks down. But that case has been a lemon from day one

So much information. You catch on fast and use what you're learned.

Raise feeder house drum to up position, may help with to slugging. Noticed he dropped it down when walking around machine in setup and that is what manual says but most guys around here just leave them up all the time with drapers

Make sure you open the lid on the grain bin, Daddy corn star. LOL

It sounds to me like you're having fun with that Big Green incredible hulk machine. If you're not careful you're going to be finished with harvest before you know it.

There are a few you tube farmers that do machinery justice, not a blind faith to one colour. With the JD on the farm I would have thought the local Case dealer would be falling over themselves to have the case combine fixed. I have mentioned before, a few factors for choosing a colour of machinery; Price, resale value, reliability, (perceived and actual reliability). The crunch comes down to the dealer, spare parts, spare machines and quick to react. Often the main factor of equipment is what father had.

There should be adjustment on end of the feed auger for the feed tines . That adjusts the throw/timing.

I know the 790 is a lot newer, but it’s also not a lot different than the 690 which would have been current at the time of their red combine. I think what we are seeing though are the little things that John Deere has always done right. Little things like cup holders are nice, but ergonomics, heavy duty design, technology, etc always seem to be a step ahead on Deere. At least until Fendt came on the scene. Deere developed ROPS, sound guard cabs, narrow tapered hoods, and this was all done in the 1970s.

Cole, Chet installed some brush kit that goes on the feeder house and prevents beans from being thrown back out. You should ask him about it. they have installed many after market parts just ask him what are his MUST HAVEs for add ons.

The ongoing break downs on the Case combine have been hard to watch... Maybe it is time to go green.

One fine video!! Hard to beat a green machine. Was the owner of two.Never let me down.Yes they broke. Dealer was always right there to get us going sooner rather then later.Thanks😊.

A lot of awesome quality of life/production features on that machine. It's just the "Right to Repair" issues that bother me and I don't know if those have been solved. Well done Cornstars you're definitely out there getting her done. God Bless all our famers...

Thank you! God bless your family!

The E button on the stick is for when you push it, it maxes out every thing in the combine and pushes it to its limits

Love the rpm limiter on our 6430. Makes it nice being able to throw the throttle to full when using the pto and not having to worry about a over speed.

Good thing you had the green machine there! Bean harvest is almost done! Nice work!

I'm worried about Cooper and Cole inhaling too much grain dust. Cooper's hair is majestic af but I'm afraid it will get caught in something.

Nothing runs like a Deere.. Clarion also pretty good tho too. Thanks for the vid. Enjoy the rest of your harvest Cornstars!

Getting it done because the corn is screaming! 😎

Looks like a very handy time for a Demo- They all break down and never at a good time.

Nice first impression of the Deere , Nice of Van Wall to let you try out a green machine. Hope you get your combine fixed quickly. Very good video Cole, thanks for sharing.

Never hurts to have Chet Larson on speed dial when you're trying to setup in a new 790! 👍

You need one of them Big Birds Brush as Chet would call it on the feeder house to stop that drum from throwing the beans out the front!

enjoying the bean harvest

Need the brush thing Chet has on his feeder house.

That was very interesting I really enjoyed listening to your thoughts and opinions on that combine tires

Great videos your putting out! Really appreciate all the hard work you farmers do. Thank you so much for being so detailed in your explanation of things.

And to think by 2025 the S790 will be practically obsolete.

You guys should trade the case in for that s790

I think it was Mike Mitchell was having similar problem throwing crop over the back of the header he raised the reel up and found it didn't throw crop as aggressively. It took him trial and error to get it right. Hope it helps.

I'd say a good portion of the "improvements" is the 6 year difference in machines. Big Green fan myself, but I recognize that all colors do the work. I am a bit surprised that the local case dealer is letting Green full court press you though.

Good luck combining your 2022 crops

Fall harvest best part of the year 🧡🍂🎃
