Always great hearing from the operators perspective 👍
I like to talk with farmers as much as possible to hear their Experience with the machinery. .
I always enjoy the interview with the farmer for sure. That 3 section MacDon is a sweet head. I'm sure as the heads get bigger most manufacturers will go to that as well. Appreciate your time Jason!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🙂
The three section reel is nice for visibility and feeding in the crop.
I could watch a combine working all day! Great video thanks!!
😁👍👍
Great video. The farmer knows his stuff and understood what the dynamics of the flex head was going to do for him.
You are lucky to receive modern technology.
It was a great day out in the field following these 8250s.
Amazing job! What a great piece of equipment to own. Revisiting this at a later date to see how much savings resulted from this new head would certainly be interesting. Very Cool!
As always, Jason, a great video from you.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I love watching the harvester's.. thx Jason!
Wheat harvest is my favorite season.
@@bigtractorpower I'd love to run one of the new harvesters... There amazing when you think about all the moving parts.
excellent ! great video and thanks to the farmer operator I really liked the talk with the farmer and to hear what he thinks about the head
I like talking with the farmers. Their Experience tells the most about the equipment.
Great video. I don't know what I like more, crops going in or harvest. Enjoy them both. Stay cool; I hope you get rain soon in Kentucky. Prayers for all of the farmers.
Thank you. Rain is needed. The corn is toast this year but the second crop of soybeans still have a chance.
Beastly. Sir, do you play any of the Farming Simulators? I'm a 100% disabled wheelchair-bound Army veteran so I can't farm. So I get my farming fix from the game and watching your channel. I really enjoy and appreciate the work you do. Thank you Sir
Thank you for watching and for your service in the military. I have played some farming simulator. It’s a fun game. I build on my 1/64 farm display in my spare time. When I complete it I will make a video of it.
Sir thank you for your service! My 17 year old son plays farm simulator on Xbox!!!!! And he has a lot and is very good at it!!!! I am so glad I took him to the farm with me in his young age! And he is talking about going to college for agriculture!!!! Makes me proud working more than half of my life on dairy farms in CNY!!! (Central New York)
You are lucky to receive modern technology.
Another great video Jason! Looking forward to the next one!
Thank you. The Friday Tractors at Work video will post tomorrow.
It doesn't seem to be enough, but thanks Jason, your stuff is the best.
Thank you for watching. I always worry 15 minutes is getting long on a video. It’s hard to pick and chose the clips.
Macdon makes great headers👍😉 I always enjoy harvest videos😁👍
Thanks👍
They are good at harvesting.
👍👍👍👍👍👍 Another great video, thank you very much.
Thank you for watching Bill.
Great footage as usual!!
Thank you. Wheat harvest is my favorite season to film.
It's amazing how far combines have progressed over time. The capacity of these machines is just amazing compared to the "big" machines of the 70s and 80s.
The monsters of the 70’s and 80’s are still cool but these new machines just eat up the acres with ease.
Outstanding job with video and interview - thks
Thank you for watching.
Hello Sir, thanks for the great video! Greetings from Germany. Toto
Thank you. It’s neat to have a viewer in Germany. 👍👍
Great vídeo Jason.
Thank you for watching.
Good old MacDon header make an hour away here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!
👍👍
Hermoso video, felicitaciones al canal 👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you for watching.
Enjoy your videos
Thank you for watching.
👏💪😁👍 greetings from burley idaho bigtractorpower
Thank you. I hope to film in Idaho some day.
@@bigtractorpower 👏👏💪😁
Hello! Super combine with a matching head...
They make a nice harvest team.
@@bigtractorpower 👌
On my bosses farm, they have a John Deere 635D that they use to cut wheat or milo, and they have a John Deere 630F flex header to cut soybeans with. They also have a John Deere 893 8 row corn head with hydralic deck plates. They own one John Deere 9660 STS Bullet Rotor combine and a John Deere 9660 STS. They use these machines to cut wheat, milo, soybeans, and corn.
Two good headers. Nice combines.
Good video.
It was a great day and evening out in the field.
I'm not much on the looks of the current Case/IH RC tractors, but they make a mighty nice looking combine.
The 250 and 150 series are good machines. They cruise through wheat.
Do you have the manufacturing data you normally provide? Thanks for all the awesomeness!
This is a brand new head for 2022 so I used the cab ride to cover its key details. Short lines are a bit harder to get details on.
I wonder if a head/platform manufacturing company has ever thought of hinging the main box section beam which runs along the top and back of the head into three sections similat to that MacDon reel for optimum distance from the ground for an even stuble cut across the full span of the head. Some of the machinery that is mounted on the aft side of the head would need some rework below the hinged areas to allow for flotation. The sheet metal under the beam would also have to be split into sections to slide past each other.
A wide head with a flexible cutter bar, with a flexible single or twinned knives/sickles just does not leave an even stubble in uneven ground.
What monitor is that next to the pro 700?
Nice machine now they just need some matching red tractors 😁
This is a pretty solid green farm but they are pleased with the Axial-Flow combines.
If a man was to shift to the US and farm there you'd have to look seriously at this area !! I think I'd like Kentucky.
Western kentucky is a unique area. It has land like the mid west with a southern climate for a longer growing season.
I like the interview with the farmers and operators, but would appreciate if you could ask them what the prior equipment was, especially when they have new gear and are talking positively (or negatively) about the change.
In this case they upgraded from MacDon FD140 heads to the 240s. He liked the 140s and finds some good improvements in the 240s for flex and visibility.
@@bigtractorpower thanks! Interesting to see there is more than enough difference in the series to make it worth the upgrade.
Not sure why but could you explain why there running JD receivers and JD Gen 4 monitors in the Case machine?
The farm in this video runs all John Deere tractors. 9RX 490, 8RX 370 and two 9R 370s.
@@bigtractorpower ok thanks
Will that 9250 keep up with the john deere x9?
The X9 is a bigger combine bu per hour. A 9250 in corn is 5,000 bu an hour an X9 is 7,200 bu an hour. The X9 is 603 hp and the 9250 is 550 hp. A 9250 would hang in there with an X9. Case IH has bigger harvest technology on the way.
Hi BTP, could you give us some more hints about what new can we expect from case ih?
👏👏👏👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜👌👌
😁👍👍
Where does most of the wheat raised in western ky get used for?
Crackle Barrell pancake mix, Red Lobster Biscuits and McDonalds’ breakfast biscuits.
Very cool never would’ve guessed that.
How is he using the JD Screen? Looks like he's using auto steer on it?
Yes it has John Deere guidance. The rest of the equipment on this farm is John Deere. I guess it makes it easier for mapping.
@@bigtractorpower I need to know how he did that lol. We have a Case Quadtrac and the rest of our tractors are John Deere. The GPS on the case is bloody awful compared to the John Deeres
I use this same wheat harvesting setup on Farming Simulator 19 on Playstation 4.
Anyone got the current cost to grow an harvest a bushel of wheat, with price of a combine an header now days ,
I do not but it is expensive.
Hi there, you Americans are too much I like you, especially there are great machines, congratulations. I live in Brazil but I don't like to follow here in Brazil I prefer you guys.
Thank you for watching. I enjoy TH-cam because you can see farming all over the world. Brazil looks like an interesting place to farm from the videos I see of the big fields there.
Except for accents this vid could be in Australia, perfect conditions, standing clean crop, hot & dry.
😁👍👍 it was 107 degrees the day I filmed this. The combines were just sailing through 100 bu wheat. It was a good harvest.
When it gets near dusk and the headlights are on, that rotor will start to growl and it is quitin time. All it takes is a little moisture in the air for the straw to get tough.
Deere guidance system in a CASE 50 series ??
Yes sir. The farm is all Deere minus the combines.
You can't beat Deere’s Technology, it's incredible. Alot of manufacturers need to take some pages out of deeres playbook.. I'd say all of them are a solid decade behind Deers Technology if not more for some
First
Thank you for your enthusiasm to watch the harvest video early
