If that machine belongs to your family...and if the previous short was your combine on fire, you will have to name that thing Phoenix....out of the ashes. Awesome ending if that is the case. Good luck!
186666 bu and it is paid for that means 2333 ac of wheat you just need enough acres take the cost off for growing it 1,5 years. Price is probably 1.4 to 1.5 million with header
Completely depends on yield per acre, price per bushel and per acre production costs. These variables can be completely different different from one track of land to another and vary day to day depending on market conditions and grain quality.
With that wide a header, one would certainly be able to maximise the performance potential of the combine. The downside of such a wide header is that the grain tanks fills up more frequently and as such, requires more frequent emptying. The chaser bin gang better be on the ball or all that potential will simply be wasted. A top end machine like that will naturally be best utilised in vast open expanses, but one has to account for the chaser bin travel time to the road haul truck, emptying time and then back to the combine. Would probably need at least two chaser bins.
It has a massive grain tank. The 70% comes on approximately in line with the 8250s with 45 foot headers, it's probably more grain cart size being an issue, depending on how many you were hypothetically running
It’s big and beautiful and very expensive and you would need a lot of ground to justify the purchase. And I have another thought. At what point in time do you look at something like this and say it’s too expensive and big Heck you can barely get it down the roads now. Just insane
Debt is not a universally bad thing. For most companies, debt is a normal part of doing business. It allows you to make investments, that you otherwise couldn't have afforded. And if these investments pay off, you can pay your debt back. I don't understand the "more acres/lower commodity prices hamster wheel" take either. We might be talking about different things, but less farmers harvesting more and more acres is just what competition looks like. Another perfectly normal thing for businesses. Seems silly to be angry at CNH for recognizing what the market demands and selling it.
Not @ the market prices. Farmers keep getting fucked with grain prices & farmers in general. This country should depend on our OWN food production not other countries. @karinkoehler2777
That's usually what happens when a parent company, CNH or Case New Holland in this case, sells the same product under two different brands. Another prominent example is the ACGO Challenger and Fendt tractors, with the Ideal combines they don't even bother to slap a different color on it.
I just enjoy the flaunting of the Macdon brand. JDs contract is about to expire, and CNH now owns Macdon, guess the Mexicans are going to be working overtime in the research and development department.
This unit cost more than my farm did 18 years ago, while we were buying 3-5 yr old machines with 150-500 hrs on them for 150k. Wheat was still the same price then as today. Oh wait same price as it was in the 70s also.
They build great combines and the quadtrac are great tillage machines.They can’t even make a reliable system that has to do anything but drives a tractor in a straight line and I’m going to buy this. Two of our neighbors both had to screw around for an hour every morning before they could plant corn. We have had JD for over 10 years and the best thing about it is when I get to the field in the morning I know it’s going to work and do exactly what I want it to do.
More weight equals more compaction and carrying around all that weight across the field and up and down hills is just way harder on final drives and other components so that's not a big bragging point.
Yes, that is what they call a flex header. A flex header is specifically designed to follow and contour your field over hills, holes, washouts, ditches etc. This allows for a perfect cutting height across the entire field over uneven terrain!
@@swensonfarms Is it hinged as well as flexing-? So far there now 4 mfgs of wide heads. Midwest in Auz make a 60 foot. Honeybee make a 60 foot. Brazil make a 62 foot GTS head with lots of aluminum to make it lighter. And now MacDon with its 61 foot.
I'm sure it's a nice machine. But 10 years ago when other combines had these capacities it was exciting today when red and green are releasing these combines basically playing catch up, I guess I don't see the excitement around them. They're not jumping way ahead of the competition they're not bringing a whole new level of anything to the market. It's just bringing their brand up to the bar
I agree when the lexion 8900 came out no one went ape like they’ve done with the af11 it’s a big deal cause case has finally caught up with the twin rotor even tho new Holland made it cough cough and if you say cnh they are the same I say new Holland made the cr11 and case copied because the cr combines have been twin rotor for a while now
The cost is ridiculous too. Way better off to run multiple older/smaller machines than 1 of these. The only thing you save with the big new machines is the cost of an operator, $25/hr.
Double the capacity with twin rotors, without increasing the external dimensions of the combine, particularly with regard to width. This metric is important, as the machine can't be over a certain width for travelling on the public highway. Maybe not such an issue in the US, but it is more of a concern in Europe. Given how big these combines are now, and their huge cost, the customer base for such machines is small, and so to cover all the bases from a cost/benefit outlook, the Company has to cater for Worldwide markets and their regulations, not just the US in isolation. Not likely that a 60 foot header would ever be used in European conditions, as the cropping density is higher, since the soil is that much richer and can thus support a higher population of plants per unit of area. Only areas like the US, Canada and Australia would be able to use such a wide header to advantage, since the soil in these areas can't support such a high cropping density.
Mostly since it’s cheaper to buy wheeled units, also because we usually have drier harvest seasons, and can get away with it without being stuck all the time.
It amazes me that you have $1 million plus machine equipped with the biggest and best and yet you don’t understand the basics of productivity and efficiency and take great joy in videoing it parked up unloading honestly do better
