  • In this video, we went out to re-visit Charles Leadbetter and his team at Eastern Farms. Tom chats to Charles about his new machine, the John Deere X9 combine, which has replaced his two previous New Holland and Claas machines. He updates us on how the season is going for him as a contract farmer and his future plans for the business! We also get a good insight to the rest of the harvest operations.

    GRASSMEN are the fast-paced, global agriculture phenomenon whose video content and merchandise are recognised worldwide. The business was started in 2009 by current director Gareth Gault, known to fans as ‘Donkey’. His love and passion for machinery allowed him to experiment with cameras and upload content to TH-cam. To his surprise, a large following soon developed and the niche in the market for real-life, documentary, farming and machinery action made it possible to drive the brand forward.
    We at GRASSMEN, pride ourselves on providing an exclusive look into agricultural manufacturers, meeting real, working farmers, showing and demonstrating tractors and machinery through all seasons such as silage and slurry and ultimately educating and entertaining our fans.
    If you love all things agriculture from top manufacturers such as John Deere, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, JCB, Land Rover and many many more, come and join #teamgrassmen, we would love to have you!

    My da and my uncle bought a new John Deere combine (I can't remember what model it was) for their own use and contracting, it had only about 150 hrs on the clock when the engine literally exploded, it went off with such a bang half the countryside were on the phone to see what on earth happened. The JD mechanics came with anew engine and changed it in the field where she sat!!

    No way an X9, even an 1100, can have more output than two old flagships. A 780 and CR10.90 could easily get 120 ton/h which is just not feasible with 1 combine. Not saying the X9 is bad but 2 machines like that are simply better than any one contemporary machine you could match them against

    Odd how he said the New Holland Combine was not up to the grain amount of the John Deere..
    Because the world record for the most grain collected by any combine in the world in a 24 hour time is the New Holland CR10.90 combine he got rid off?
    New Holland are the best Brand by far..

    • @Grassmen
      @Grassmen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah yiu are right about the record. Still held by New Holland. The 10.90 is some bit of kit. Perhaps John Deere should be having a go at that record?

    • @Beyonder8335
      @Beyonder8335 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Fair point but when that record was set before the X9 even existed, and as far as I’m aware there hasn’t even been an attempt on it. Also, assuming the CR is better there’s still other factors as well, like resale value and dealer support. If I recall the record was in wheat, so it could vary by crop.
