I absolutely LOVE how massive that machine is!! Here in South Georgia, we see some of these, but maybe not this impressive piece of machinery. I love traveling a back road and hanging out behind a big farm machine and just take my time traveling and following.
Just before I left the farm my Dad bought 3 new Massey Harris 92 combines with 14 foot headers on them. We still had trouble with them digging into the dirt on the hills. Over course they only cost about $10,000.00 Each.
Oh!! the Dust!! Brings back memories of combining a field of oats that were very dusty--in an open station International combine. I'm glad it wasn't that dusty!!
Mike, thanks for that video. Now we are seeing real production here with that 62 footer. Hopefully we will see lots more of them including Honeybee 60 footers and maybe some Midwest heads from the great land of Auz. Heck, lets build our own.
the widest headers generally are flex headers so the field does not have to be flat. It follows fhe ground contour. Alot have wheels at the ends of the header and at the backas well to keep it from skidding on the ground.
I believe that we are going to see more of these wider heads in the fields. The question is, will the guts of the combines be able to digest dense crops and if not, the mfgs. will have to increase their capacity.
Mike just think if our great grandparents could see all this new farm equipment that is out there now, it would be a lot different from their horses they had
Mike, I'm new to your channel and I really enjoy it. You seem to know a tonne about equipment. I think it would be great content to see some videos about farm tractors (and other equipment) and why certain brands are preferred (perhaps over others). I understand you probably do not want to dis any equipment but maybe just help us understand why farmers chose the brand they did.
Thanks for finding and watching my TH-cam Channel. There is several reasons farms choose the brand of equipment they buy. Price, They like a certain dealer salesman or the dealer personnel, They feel a particular machine has certain features and benefits that are better for their operation, Some are just brand loyal but nowadays having a dealer close by that offers good parts and service is probably one of the biggest reasons.
Exactly what Mike said. It doesn't matter what color it is when you can call your salesman at 6pm on a Sunday about your baler breaking down, and he shows up 30 minutes later with a brand new baler There's certainly brands we prefer but they all break down eventually, what matters is how fast you can get em back up and running before the weather gets worse
I know one of the main drawbacks of these is you need the reel low down to stop product falling forward over the cutterbar as it gathers to the center, there's just so much material coming in from 30ft either side.
I'd like to know or see the ground speed of a X1100 with that head in 100 bu wheat with an acceptable amount of grain loss. Yow Son, fill that head full as you are wasting three feet of head while you are cutting that crop.
I remember a guy I worked for years ago that was a cheapskate to 10th degree. Dude was so bad if this were his operation he’d probably make someone follow behind the combine with a rake and shovel sifting through the silage for any loss. Then make sure every last bit of loss is collected.
That is a big head for sure. I'm curious do they have to put a longer unloading boom on the combine while using this wide of a head? I don't know how far this head would stick out to the side compared to what they would normally use. In my mind i wonder if the other operator pulling the grain cart would have enough room along side the combine and be able to collect the beans with a standard length offloading boom. Hope that makes sense.
Amazes me haven’t run a combine in close to 40 years last one I operated was a 1460 international in 1981 18 ft header can’t even imagine a header like that
Beans are an easy harvest for the combine to process. I doubt he would be traveling very fast in a wheat field, let alone a hail battered wheat field. Where are the wheels on this header? Can each side float for varying terrain?

This was at a farm show demonstration and he only made a few passes so I was not able to get much informations. I would say since it was a show it was set pretty good for zero loss.
In advance please forgive my ignorance. I’ve got an odd question for anyone who wants to answer. Is there, or has there been any agriculture machine manufacturers that have designed their machines to only be compatible with their implements?
I haven’t personally heard of one no, at least not with conventional machines. That said, things like the new idea uni system or the nexat aren’t really gonna be compatible for normal implements. Idk if that helps at all but there you go
Wow! That will make quick work of most sized fields! Do you have any rice harvest videos? I live in NE Arkansas near Jonesboro. They grow a lot of rice around here. I saw something this year I haven't seen before. They cut the rice at the very top only taking the grain head off. Came back with a mower. They mowed, raked and round baled the rice stems. Have you seen that done before? Love watching your channel! 👍
Don’t be thick, why is there always some knucklehead on the comments thinking they know it better? You’ve any idea what this shit costs? You really think these people that run the machines don’t know exactly what they’re doing? Every move is thought about and planned. Damn TH-cam brigade pfff this shit is getting old.
In your dreams-! Midwest in Auz make 60 footers and they are a fair number of them now running in the fields there. Also, Midwest are thinking of making wider heads since small grain crops are not as dense as ours.
Growing up, I used to think the 10' head on our J.I. Case 660 was huge.
And it is still wide enough
We had a 10, the neighbor got a 13. Seemed like he was showing off.
I remember my dad upgrading from a 10’ head on a 45 jd to at the time deers big 105, with a huge 15’ header
One powerful machine and a whole lot of head to keep an eye on.

Great video Mike
Good morning! Thanks for all of the interesting videos. ❤
What a huge header! He is not even going slow, it's just eating the soybeans👍😉
Amazing video
I didn’t get to see it run, but it was impressive to look at. Nice to finally meet you, we talked at the J&M display. (J.D. @ Kent Farms)
Hey it was good talking to you as well.
62 feet of real cutting ! This is the GTS aluminum header from Brasil, very good behaviour and reliability
the widest headers generally are flex headers so the field does not have to be flat. It follows fhe ground contour. Alot have wheels at the ends of the header and at the backas well to keep it from skidding on the ground.
Short but sweet, thanks Mike!
Appreciate your video Mike. That's some dust cloud
I saw it on Wednesday Mike. Yes, makes short work of a field. A semi transports the head I believe? At least it did there.
I believe that we are going to see more of these wider heads in the fields.
The question is, will the guts of the combines be able to digest dense crops and if not, the mfgs. will have to increase their capacity.
Mike just think if our great grandparents could see all this new farm equipment that is out there now, it would be a lot different from their horses they had
There won't be many farms smaller than 10,000 acres in ten years time.
I like Mike less videos on TH-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜
Glad they found a field flat enough to use a header like that.
One powerful machine
That oughtta keep the trucks busy...
Good video.

Needs air tube... 60ft air tube yowzer
It's amazing Mike how far it spreads the tailings out the back

Yow Son, fill that head full as you are wasting three feet of head while you are cutting that crop.
I can't imagine running a header that wide. I imagine it has a price tag to match.
I remember a guy I worked for years ago that was a cheapskate to 10th degree.
Dude was so bad if this were his operation he’d probably make someone follow behind the combine with a rake and shovel sifting through the silage for any loss. Then make sure every last bit of loss is collected.
There ain't gonna be any long videos with that combine, blink and it's done with a field. How much long till they build 100 foot header.
That is a big head for sure. I'm curious do they have to put a longer unloading boom on the combine while using this wide of a head? I don't know how far this head would stick out to the side compared to what they would normally use.

The unloading boom sure looks oversized.
Amazes me haven’t run a combine in close to 40 years last one I operated was a 1460 international in 1981 18 ft header can’t even imagine a header like that
Good luck with it in a heavy crop
You better have done a good job of rolling rocks.

3 questions
What was the average yield?
How fast was the ground speed?
What was the loss behind the machine?
This was at a farm show demonstration and he only made a few passes so I was not able to get much informations. I would say since it was a show it was set pretty good for zero loss.

How many acres per hour?
Is the auger long enough to clear that header? And if it is I hope the anchor can support the weight.
This is a draper header without an auger, and it's made of aluminum.
LOL. You have to get the grain out of the combine hopper. That’s what I’m referring to, not ygg he e header.
@@ronaldrankin9918 LOL. Writing "clear that header" while meaning the unloading auger makes no sense.
LOL you must be an engineer.
Wow! That will make quick work of most sized fields! Do you have any rice harvest videos? I live in NE Arkansas near Jonesboro. They grow a lot of rice around here.

I just uploaded two rice harvest videos a few weeks ago from Texas
@@farmhandmike thanks for letting me know. I missed those. 👍
That will eat up the bushels.
Mike, google for a picture of a 75 foot Honeybee swather.
Wow that’s neat, we run a 35 foot, but that’s awesome 👍👍. How fast was he going?
That draper head probably cost more than my house and garage did 20years ago.
Might be 180,000
Dude is hauling ass too, thats 6-7 mph?
Lots of aluminum in that GTE head and it is lighter than the 50 foot Deere and Macdons.
Wow
What are they cutting?
Soybeans
شي جميل ورائع ماهذا المحصول الذي يتم حصاده
Gts made in Brasil ❤
Gts do Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤
62 ft header and only using 59.
It’s a farm show demonstration and they could only make a few passes Hardly worth setting up an A-B line for that
Don’t be thick, why is there always some knucklehead on the comments thinking they know it better?
You’ve any idea what this shit costs? You really think these people that run the machines don’t know exactly what they’re doing? Every move is thought about and planned. Damn TH-cam brigade pfff this shit is getting old.
Would like to see it in some serious wheat or barley - not the rubbish its running in here.
we run 80 footers here
Okay where's that at?
In his head.@@farmhandmike
@@markrskinner in that case I run a 200 foot one lol 😆
In your dreams-!
Midwest in Auz make 60 footers and they are a fair number of them now running in the fields there.
Also, Midwest are thinking of making wider heads since small grain crops are not as dense as ours.
