When you see a combine operating in a field, you never think about just how many parts and steps goes into the final product. My dad used to manage grain elevators, and I knew a lot of farmers who brought grain to the facility. Combines have really evolved over the past decades and a farmer from the 1960s probably would be amazed at all the changes. Thanks to everyone who made this documentary possible. Great video!!! Watching from North Carolina, USA. ❤❤
As a much younger version of myself I got to help a neighbour farm when they needed to fix their old combine during a harvest in the early 80's He couldn't reach a place inside that thing where a belt was supposed to go so I crawled in and helped him with that. I was in awe when I saw all the complicated machinery. Just imagine how much more gadgets there are on modern equipment. Greetings from Sweden.
John Deere is the same as other companies. They don’t want the software screwed up by farmers. Everything else the farmer can do. All software is machine specific, not generic. They report by computer to Moline and put in the serial number before anything can be flashed. Many on here don’t have the abilities to do this correctly.
The most impressive vehicles since the invention of the internal combustion engine are agricultural machines. Not bound by strict road rules ,engineers get to tinker with them and produce some awesone machinery 👍🏽👌🏼
Good machines that I no longer can use. Management at Deere has locked me out of making repairs on in many cases even simple diagnostic tests. I have to have a complete inventory of parts for all harvesting equipment on hand and have our own service/repair/maintenance dept. Deere has chosen to not allow me as an owner to make my own repairs, this is and always will be for me a non-negotiable deal breaker. Profit or loss for the year usually comes down to less than 10-15 days of peak harvest sometimes less with weather issues compressing the normal harvest window. That's why we keep many older machines in continous ready to use condition so replace a broken machine w/o waiting for Deere which has allowed us to increase daily harvest acreage if needed even while being forced to augment harvest with less efficient machines. I hope that Deere comes to their senses before the color green becomes extinct as this company had always provided farmers with sound equipment and solutions, until then I will not even look at their offerings.

@@StevenGeorgi I am not sure what you are saying is False, I do not do false. I am not able to use the diagnostic routines embeded in the operating system, further even when I am able to identify the failed part Deere will not sell the part directly only thru a repair order with needed part installed by their authorized dealer, even more ergregious is that the software cannot be reset by anyone other than the deere mechanic. Basically all I have is a useless hunk of iron until the factory repair is completed by the dealer.
Will be interesting when these Combines go Serial Hybrid. So much potential to make these machines more efficient. And for the doubters, there is the Nexat Harvester as an example.
i just want to know, what market or what kind of farmer is the subwoofer for? coz whats worse than harvesting, without does sick deep bass line right. Im pretty sure these are also made in the US. so who else would order a sub in a combine. I can just imagine the guy that orders a sub in a combine, as the type of guy thats driving the Ferrari in Fast and Furious. Paul Walker pulls up "whats the retail on one of those things" today the answer will be "more than you could afford pal, John Deer, just as much as a supra. How many tons of grain can your Supra harvest" LOL. Why cant it just tow the cutter behind it. that in needs a tractor.

Greetings from Sweden.
Those are some crazy statistics. I have never known about these crazy harvesters.
Been lucky enough to operate most makes of JD combine including the T670i Superb machines
Wow
Gotta love the tune from Farming Simulator at the beginning. Made me fell right at home ;~)
To bad John Deere and all the other giant manufacturers are against right to repair.
How come No one talking about repairs and how they abuse the customer. . Wtf . Wake up ppl .
I can’t speak for Deere but I work for an AGCO company and they give the farmer the right to repair their own equipment.
I believe that if I have to pay hundreds of thousands for a piece of equipment, then I should also have the right to repair it myself.
That's just Deere, which is why their company is failing.

Happy new year to and keep up the great work.

And then screw the farmer by making repairs too expensive or requiring a overpaid John Deere technician to fix.
Are they still moving to Mexico, or were they beaten into submission??
Nice
niice

chek the Claas
This is false the only thing the farmer cannot do is software. It sounds as tho this guy shouldn’t be able to do software at all.

Serious question. Why don't they make the larger class combines overseas as here in the states? Is it the roads can't handle them or what?
European fields are much smaller than those in North America?
Claas Lexion its a big
