This has got to be the best video showcasing double-crop strategy and practices on TH-cam. Many of these practices have really only become widespread because of GPS guidance technology. Stripper harvesting and no-till planting into tall straw are all quite difficult without GPS guidance.
GPS makes a world of difference but back in 1990 when they first started harvesting this way they used the marker arm on the planter and it cut a line pretty well to follow. They plant on an angle so you can see your pass pretty well as your making new stripes.
My family has no-tilled wheat and double crop beans since the very early 80s though we dont use stripper heads. Planting without guidance is challenging but i didn’t know any different then.
Thanks for referring back to previous videos to show how the second crop is growing after no till drilling, that close the loop very nice to see the entire cycle
Thank You Jason for this excellent video, like the way you explain everything in detail. The Stripper Head speeds up the harvest operation compared to the Mac Don head. All the best, stay safe, bye for now.
Good stuff. This video covers a long growing season. Cool to see the harvest/plant/harvest cycle. Takes time to make a video like this and you have to remember where you saved all you recorded assets. Thank again for the top quality production.
Really enjoy these videos. I think its great to be able to get two crops off the same acreage. Plus, the soybeans, being a legume, put nitrogen back into the soil for the corn the following growing season. If I knew this technology and machinery would exist in the future fifty years ago, I might have stayed on the farm.
The Reynolds Shelbourne stripper heads are the only way to go. Your saving fuel,less operating stress on the combine,less maintenance downtime,higher ground speeds.(I know I said it before,but worth mentioning again) These put the grossly outdated 100+year old bine heads in the bone yard B.T.P..If I owned a grain farm,this would be my top-choice.
They do a great job on wheat. The Baldwin brothers who invented the Gleaner combine in 1923 actually invited a stripper style Harvester in 1918 that was pushed by a team of horses.
Excellent video on the double crop system in Western Kentucky. In one of your next video about double crop or corn crop, would you be able to show us the irrigation systems used in the region?
That was a fantastic video explaining about those headers headers actually a fantastic invention for farming I do have one question why I get notill process h however at some point in that field’s life don’t you have to tell it once in a while just to air rate Soil
Some farm’s in this area are 100% no till and it works very well. In fact notill farming was invented in Western Kentucky back in 1962. I need to do a video on that. In the case of this farm they notill the soybeans but after the harvest in October they will subsoil 18 inches deep to break up compaction. I made a video on this process which is posted at m.th-cam.com/video/0cZsKxEXyXg/w-d-xo.html
Here in India we plant soybean in July and harvest in October. Then we plant wheat in late October or early November and harvest it in march and april. How diverse are over methods for same crops
Yeah that's about when we're getting finished planting in Virgina on the double crop soybeans harvest the winter wheat in June early July and run the planter in the field the next day
The shelbourne headers are a revolutionary engineering technology. The header allows increased cover in a no- till operation. The operation of the combine is maximized, allowing higher efficiency of threashing process and reduces wear on the interior of the combine and the ground speed is increased to accomplish the harvest process. Along with the ability to harvest in a wider variety of moisture and field conditions; greater flexibility in field operation. Yes, the threshing process results in cleaner tanked grain.
Hello Mr. BTP why are stripper headers shorter than conventional headers? For example a 9230 would traditionally have a 40+ foot conventional header where as the stripper head in this video is only 32 feet.
The stripper head will harvest faster than a sickle style head. They also weigh more. You can get a 42ft Shelbourne. I made a video on the 42ft at m.th-cam.com/video/ERhrLrb6iUo/w-d-xo.html
It actually has nothing to do with the vacuum cleaner, it just looks like the vacuum cleaner. Everything happens purely mechanically. On the front of the head is a rotating cylinder with fingers that break the grain and ears and push it backwards, where the screw conveyor is. From there it goes directly to the harvest of combine harvesters. Because of this, the harvester is not so loaded because a much smaller amount of material passes through it, as they are just grains, ears and shells. It can have a much wider headline or run faster. It can also work in more humid conditions, when the grains are still dry, as the moist stems are not dried. Set YT "Shelbourne Reynolds XCV42 - XCS42 Stripper Headers", in this guest video it tells and shows how the head looks like inside.
I think the flaps mounted on the front is mainly for corn stubble to keep the corn stalks from gouging the rubber tracks. I don't see them useful for bean stubble though.
A cover crop that provides the cover AFTER it is harvested and "used up". That is very smart agriculture. I am sure the extra cover makes a big difference in how much sprays need to be applied for weeds etc also. And even perhaps benefits with soil condition/erosion. I do not know enough about that header to comment really, perhaps there are drawbacks in longevity or width or initial cost/maint cost or whatever, but on the surface it seems like a no brainer to go to vs a traditional header.
at the 7:33 mark in the video you can see a lot of the heads still on the wheat stem. Are their still wheat in the heads or was they "sucked out" like a vacuum?
It leaves the heads mainly intact. It just sweeps the grain out of them. If you look at the 13:34 mark you can see the soybeans growing over the straw and you can see the heads on the plants empty.
It is interesting. Here in WKY everyone wants as much straw on the field as possible to help the soybeans and add organic matter back to the soil. Across the Mississippi in Missouri it seems most farm’s burn the stubble and straw off.
Hi Jason, there's one thing I don't understand, how come the stalks control weed growth I suppose of lack of sun light but not the soya beans? I hope you understand my question.
Never lived a day on a farm, but I do love you BTP videos! What's the two flashing lights above the operators cab in some of the videos? Love seeing the American flag waving!! Great video!!
Wonder why we have'nt seen any of the new 250 series case combines this year?Funny observation, many of the operator inthe videos you film physically talk on their cell phones,all these new machines have bluetooth connection and they could be talking hands free,way handy with so many things to keep an eye on.
I filmed a pair of 8250 combines during wheat harvest. Stay tuned. I showed one of the 8250 combines in a Wheat Harvest 19 preview video two weeks ago. The 8250 is at the two minute thirty second mark in this video m.th-cam.com/video/Q4I01CrwnvQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi maybe you can make a video about how the vacuuming works. What exactly happend during the vacuuming. I hope you understand what I mean. Sorry for my bad english. Best regards from Poland!
Pozwól, że ja wyjaśnię =] Tak na prawdę to nie ma nic wspólnego z odkurzaczem, to po prostu wygląda jak po przejściu odkurzacza. Wszystko dzieje się czysto mechanicznie. Z przodu hedera znajduje się obrotowy walec z palcami, które zrywają ziarna i kłosy i przerzucają je do tyłu, gdzie znajduje się przenośnik ślimakowy. Stamtąd trafia już bezpośrednio do gardzieli kombajnu. Dzięki temu kombajn nie jest tak obciążony, bo przechodzi przez niego znacznie mniejsza ilość materiału, bo są to po prostu same ziarna, kłosy i łupiny. Może mieć więc dużo szerszy heder lub jechać szybciej. Może też pracować w bardziej wilgotnych warunkach, kiedy ziarna są jeszcze suche, gdyż wilgotne łodygi nie są młócone. Wpisz sobie na YT "Shelbourne Reynolds XCV42 - XCS42 Stripper Headers", w tym filmiku gościu opowiada i pokazuje jak wygląda w środku ten heder.
On the stripper head is that grain we see on top? Did they test this process against standard no till to see if it yielded better therefore off setting the extra cost?
The build up on the header is hulls and fuzz from the wheat head beard. No grain. I am sure they did allot of side by side tests in the 90s when the headers were first used. They do a great job.
It will be more efficient in the combine less combine losses but not sure but id imagine more losses at the combine head just with the method the grain is removed
The Shelbourne is a great way to go. I did not see any loss with the ones I filmed. They get good clean grain results and the combines have little running through them other than grain.
Air seeders aren't as accurate for counting seed populations but are excellent for seeding wide varieties of crops and for seeding large areas on single fills ie. Bourgault 1300 bushel seed cart
Excellent video. I have a question that maybe you can or can’t answer. The head that is used for harvesting wheat, why couldn’t it be used for soybeans also? Seams that the same process for harvesting the wheat could be used for the soybeans. Is there any chance that they may be adding that to a product that could be harvested with that head? I enjoy your videos very much. The information that you put out there is above anything out there. I look forward to future videos you put out. Thank you.
Soybeans are too viney and will just wrap around the stripper drum. They are also in bean pods which are more likely to split open and drop the beans on the ground. Cutting them and letting them gently fall on a draper is still the best way right now.
How is the air generated for the seeder? Is there a hydraulically driven air compressor? I didn't see any PTO connection between the tractor and the seeder.
Hi thanks for the great video. I wonder if the added plant material from the old wheat on the soybean field increases maintenance costs to the harvester?
I am a subscriber and i do greatly enjoy all your videos, hope you don't plan on retiring any time soon. Just a question, i noticed during a video of corn harvesting you showed a few kernels of corn that had gotten past the thresher and fallen to the ground. Do you know if the stripper head has less similar crop loss then the draper head or about the same?
Good question. There is always some loss during harvesting no matter the combine or head. A stripper head from my observation has little loss. Thank you for watching. Many more videos on the way.
Last yr I had saw a combine in the field had caught fire and was looking to be a total loss I know it's very important to keep them clean as possible to keep from having such a disaster.
They will sub soil the ground 18 inches deep. Their is allot of compaction from putting two crops on in a field in one year. In the spring they will run vertical tillage to smooth out the seed bed.
They did from 1995 to around 2003. They offered 22 and 25ft Gleaner and Massey Ferguson models. I can do a video on a Gleaner model on a John Deere 9600.
Thanks. I didn't know they'd stopped making them. Problem with stipper headers is as you mentioned there is only a limited number of crops you can do with them. Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye, Rice, maybe Canola. Someone told me milo can be done but I don't see how considering it's a much bigger stalk and head.
It would be interesting if they would let you put a go pro on top of the bins somewhere in there on the ledge so you could see the It being filled up I think that would be interesting see if you can do it please
Your in luck the video I released on Friday just before this one shows the grain transfer process from the combine filling to loading the grain cart on the go to emptying the cart on the truck. You can see the video at m.th-cam.com/video/5UJnbTftT9I/w-d-xo.html
Depends on the set up, brand, age, and type of combine. But yes you can go faster but you could Also run different tolerances. I can run my machine faster in 22" bean does than in 15" or drill spacing if I planted beans in 30" rows I could go even faster unless I'm harvesting drill rows I'm also running at an angle. I know you were asking more about wheat but different crops share many harvesting traits we use a draper for both
BTP -- This video was so good that I watched it twice. LOL. Once when it came out, and then again just now today (7/9/19). Those big farms sure have the top notch equipment. I wonder if those are hired hands running the machines, or if it is family members? If it's hired hands, I wonder what they get paid per hour?
In the second field with the John Deere 1795 planters they simply raise up every other row hydraulically to plant corn and drop all the rows to plant soybeans. It’s a very easy switch.
Very cool. I like the S770. I filmed a farm with five S770s in Shelbournes back in May. The video is posted at m.th-cam.com/video/IEBEZT5FLLM/w-d-xo.html
guys, what is that front attachment on the challenger pulling the grain cart for? Looks like a flap that runs on top of the ground in front of each track.
Beans will bush out and grow many leaves to be able to do photosynthesis, unlike cereal grains which are like grasses. This also means if they are to tightly packed together, the moisture trapped underneath the canopy can be the perfect environment for fungus to grow which will destroy the crop.
The standing straw has great value in holding moisture in the ground for the new soybeans. The soybeans as a second crop are worth way more than the straw.
You can direct cut the wheat too. Watch this video I made that shows wheat cutting and no-tilling in soybeans behind the combine m.th-cam.com/video/czSIzMQep0M/w-d-xo.html

Very informative. Thank you BTP. UK Farmer
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Not being a farmer I ask the question, what would the third or next crop be after, wheat and no til beans?
JIM
JIM C He said Corn is going to be next👍🏼
I think the flaps mounted on the front is mainly for corn stubble to keep the corn stalks from gouging the rubber tracks. I don't see them useful for bean stubble though.
They use it on all stubble.
A cover crop that provides the cover AFTER it is harvested and "used up". That is very smart agriculture. I am sure the extra cover makes a big difference in how much sprays need to be applied for weeds etc also. And even perhaps benefits with soil condition/erosion. I do not know enough about that header to comment really, perhaps there are drawbacks in longevity or width or initial cost/maint cost or whatever, but on the surface it seems like a no brainer to go to vs a traditional header.
Cost is a big factor. If you're running older equipment (like my in-laws do), that header may be worth more than your old combine(s).
Thanks for that. Very informative .
Thank you for watching.
Very Interesting 😁
Thank you for watching.
at the 7:33 mark in the video you can see a lot of the heads still on the wheat stem. Are their still wheat in the heads or was they "sucked out" like a vacuum?
It leaves the heads mainly intact. It just sweeps the grain out of them. If you look at the 13:34 mark you can see the soybeans growing over the straw and you can see the heads on the plants empty.
And to think some used to (and still do) torch the wheat straw to get the soy in without the hassle of the tall stubble.
It is interesting. Here in WKY everyone wants as much straw on the field as possible to help the soybeans and add organic matter back to the soil. Across the Mississippi in Missouri it seems most farm’s burn the stubble and straw off.
Hi Jason, there's one thing I don't understand, how come the stalks control weed growth I suppose of lack of sun light but not the soya beans? I hope you understand my question.
The thick straw mat left behind reduces weeds ability to have area to sprout and it helps shade them out until the soybeans canopy.

Hello from Ontario Canada and ☺
Hi 🇨🇦. Thank you for watching.
Do the farmers blow off the dust and chaff from the combines where there could be a potential fire?
They have a leaf blower on the service truck. The combine is blown off and serviced every day.
Last yr I had saw a combine in the field had caught fire and was looking to be a total loss I know it's very important to keep them clean as possible to keep from having such a disaster.
Will they no-till corn into this field in the spring or do they perform fall or spring tillage to prep for corn?
They will sub soil the ground 18 inches deep. Their is allot of compaction from putting two crops on in a field in one year. In the spring they will run vertical tillage to smooth out the seed bed.
LOVE THAT FLAG ON THAT MACHINE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Top video, very well presented.
Nice video. Doesn't AGCO still make a stripper head too?
They did from 1995 to around 2003. They offered 22 and 25ft Gleaner and Massey Ferguson models. I can do a video on a Gleaner model on a John Deere 9600.
Thanks. I didn't know they'd stopped making them. Problem with stipper headers is as you mentioned there is only a limited number of crops you can do with them. Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye, Rice, maybe Canola. Someone told me milo can be done but I don't see how considering it's a much bigger stalk and head.
Is desiccant herbicide spraying required to kill the crop before this combine will work?
No it dries down on its own to a moisture level that can be harvested.

Do the harvesters have tighter settings because of less material going through it? Or are they able to run faster do to less material?
Depends on the set up, brand, age, and type of combine. But yes you can go faster but you could Also run different tolerances. I can run my machine faster in 22" bean does than in 15" or drill spacing if I planted beans in 30" rows I could go even faster unless I'm harvesting drill rows I'm also running at an angle. I know you were asking more about wheat but different crops share many harvesting traits we use a draper for both
do they ever plant in the same field whilst they are still harvesting it
Yes all the time. You can see a planter and three combines together in this video I published last Monday m.th-cam.com/video/czSIzMQep0M/w-d-xo.html
BTP -- This video was so good that I watched it twice. LOL. Once when it came out, and then again just now today (7/9/19). Those big farms sure have the top notch equipment. I wonder if those are hired hands running the machines, or if it is family members? If it's hired hands, I wonder what they get paid per hour?
Visited my Reynolds family old land in Metropolis, Illinois and watched one of these bad boys cut a whole 40 acres like it was nothing.
How much rainfall do you have in average in one year in liters on one squere metre?
In 2018 there was 64 inches here in WKY. It was extra extra wet. Most years it is around 48 to 50.
Enjoyed the video from eastern North Carolina. Look forward to seeing more great videos from big Tractor power.
Thank you for watching. The next video will post in about an hour.
In 2nd field does farm have 2 different planters or they do some adjustments on same planter for different crops
In the second field with the John Deere 1795 planters they simply raise up every other row hydraulically to plant corn and drop all the rows to plant soybeans. It’s a very easy switch.
What is on the front of the challenger that looks like skis
A stalk stomper to reduce wear on the tracks.
How high are the grain loses form the stripper header?
Very low. It does an excellent job.
@@bigtractorpower Ok thanks
We put those on our John Deere s770 combines
Very cool. I like the S770. I filmed a farm with five S770s in Shelbournes back in May. The video is posted at m.th-cam.com/video/IEBEZT5FLLM/w-d-xo.html
My wifes family lives in E-town/Bonneville. Theres some rolling land around there.
👍👍. I film in the Elizabethtown and Litchfield area a few times a year.
guys, what is that front attachment on the challenger pulling the grain cart for? Looks like a flap that runs on top of the ground in front of each track.
BoostAholic Thats for protecting the tracks of the wheat / Corn stubble
It is a stalk stomper. It helps reduce wear on the tracks.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks
@@lenardojdfox8613 Thanks
Very neat....but we can't afford it. I'll just keep pushing the JD 9600..
Air Seeder is bad Ass!!
How come soybeans have to be spaced apart in rows instead of being planted like cereal grains like wheat, oats or barley?
Down in georgia they do plant soybeans with a no-till grain drill
Beans will bush out and grow many leaves to be able to do photosynthesis, unlike cereal grains which are like grasses. This also means if they are to tightly packed together, the moisture trapped underneath the canopy can be the perfect environment for fungus to grow which will destroy the crop.
I have been waiting for a good stripper header mod since fs13
👍👍
If you wanted one made go to Polygonish.com
nice
Why would you leave the straw standing and not bailing it?
Josh Light as cover for the next crop to keep wind from blowing dust across it which can hurt the new crop too
The standing straw has great value in holding moisture in the ground for the new soybeans. The soybeans as a second crop are worth way more than the straw.
Ahh ok i live in ohio an only see people bale it thanks
I assume trying to double crop soybeans without the stripper head in wheat is not as feasible?
You can direct cut the wheat too. Watch this video I made that shows wheat cutting and no-tilling in soybeans behind the combine m.th-cam.com/video/czSIzMQep0M/w-d-xo.html
The stripper head is actually very similar in how it works to a carpet sweep.
Yes it is.
Será que eu sou único brasileiro assistindo isso?
