  • In this video we spend time in the cab of a 543 hp 400 bu. John Deere S790 combine. This is the largest combine offered by John Deere. This class 9 combine is harvesting wheat with a 45ft wide MacDon FD145 Flex Draper. In this video viewers will ride along in the combine to see what it is like to operate this large modern machine.

    Old Matt is a cool guy! The kind you would want to drink a beer with. I about fell out of my chair when he said 80 to 100 bushel per acre. That’s awesome.

    Thanks much for posting. Have been fascinated with big farm and construction machinery since I was a kid. When I was 15(I’m 50 now), I was living in Dothan, Al. where peanuts are a huge crop. I pulled off the road on my dual sport motorcycle to watch a big International tractor with harvester in tow working a big field. The farmer could sense I was enthralled and stopped the tractor, throttled it down, and motioned me over. Long story short, I got to climb into the operator’s “office” and run several rows with him. The sound of that beautiful Diesel engine at song and the noise of the peanut harvester running was simply heaven! I thanked him as he dropped me off and the memory has lasted a lifetime. Keep up the good work.

    I've seen a couple videos talking about the LSW tires and I am curious if any of the farms that you film at are thinking about going that way? Would they work on a combine like the S790 and would they help in getting through that ridiculously wet field without making a ton of ruts?

    @switzerblitzer2701 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    One thing I noticed is the header gets the downed wheat quite well. That's always a concern with winter wheat that is fertilized for top yield. 80-100 bu/a is a pretty good yield. It looks really good to me. In some parts of Europe they report yields as high as 150 bu/a. I'm not partial to any brands of equipment. I just enjoyed farming. Looks like it's wet in many parts of the country. In SESD we got about only about 30% planted and had to take PP for the rest. Another great video BTP!!

    • @bigtractorpower

    • @roygunter3244
      @roygunter3244 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe MacDon has the patent on the belt feeders in the header, I am sure they used to. This is supposed to deliver the grain to the feeder house without as much shell out or as many wads of grass choking the header. When I was a kid on the farm, we left in 1964, the headers were less than 14' and the concept of draper heads was not around and whatever combine you bought came with a header. I asked a farmer why he had a MacDon and that was the answer he gave me.

  • @stephanegroen942
    @stephanegroen942 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Again very interesting video! Thanks.
    Just to check if I have understood correctly : does Matt own or rent the land he is working on or is he a farming contractor that landlords use to perform the jobs that need to be done : tillage, drilling, spraying and harvest. In that case how many acres does he take care of and how many tractors ans combine does his company own?

    • @bigtractorpower

      Matt is an employee of the farm. The farm owns the equipment and has a mix of owned and rented farms. Matt sprays, plants, combines and runs two tillage seasons from the farm.

  • @BKetch

    Do they have to constantly adjust the height of the head? Or is that part of the auto steer stuff? Really wish you could get a operator that could really explain stuff for people like me that havent driven anything built in probably 35-45 years(always ran 15-25 year old stuff when I did). I know very little about these machines now days, and Im a 34 year old IT guy now.
    Thats why I like MNF's videos. But yours for more stats. Cool seeing these big ass farms too. In my area a couple thousand acres is some what normal. Cool seeing these 10, 20, 30k+ farms.

      On the reel? Those are fingers to pull the crop in. Below the Draper belt are sickles that cut the wheat stems.

      They are similar. In this area MacDon is by far the favorite. I am

      There are no sensors. It's all springs that make it float. And the reel is adjustable for when it releases the crop over the canvas.

      That’s a good question. I have not watched. I know that 17 semi trucks had been to the field and out before the rain. I would say each combine is producing 2,400 bu an hour.

      There are lots of rabbits and deer out in these fields. I get to see allot of wildlife each year. Unfortunately a combine found a skunk during harvest this year while I was filming. The skunk was not happy.

      The first combine I remember dad buying was a used 1980 JD 6622 for 30k at an auction. My first was an 02 Case 2388 in 08 for 100k, second was an 08 Case 8010 for 200k and in 2021 a 2016 Case 9240 for 385k. So it seems to be roughly doubling every 5-7 years since 05.

    Alright... $650,000. These machines, I need them to last at a minimum of 12 years. Other than the occasional bearing failure, EVERYTHING from belts, hydraulic pumps, hoses, tires needs to last. Sickle bar sections are replaced, you bet. All that cash, times four for some folk. Of course coming from Montana, that means only 1 harvest per season. Toatally understand why Western Kentucky farmers are millionaires. Many acres, generations old paid for, and many GMO Frankenstein food crops. And everyone wonders why life expectancy has dropped, dramatically since 2000.
