- Check out our Combine Training video which will show you how to drive a combine. Today we're going to do a training overview with a Lexion 730 Combine which we'll be combining corn. We will be going over start-up, the harvest process and shut down procedure. Have questions/comments? Leave them below!
A special thank you to Ron and Adam Girgen from Girgen Farms for allowing us to operate your combine!

Have been operating combines for 40 years. Best thing about modern machines is the cab. Worst thing about modern machines is the cab ! To clarify that... it’s too quiet. All the modern monitoring systems are great, but there’s no substitute for being able to hear the machine working, listening for a change of note when something’s not quite right, or a bearing is failing is the most important thing for me. Just my opinion 😊. Interesting video for new operators tho 👍🏻
Thanks for that insight! Appreciate the comment!
Heavy Metal Learning Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Everything is on point! We also check the area behind the combine for corn (or any other grain) on the ground and make adjustments to the fan and rotor speed to minimise the loses and keep our product clear from other materials like weed seeds
Thanks for those tips! Appreciate the comment!
apparently easy, thanks for the video
now i really like this channel... new name same vids but new vids... thumbs up from me in sweden.
Awesome to hear...thanks!
Interesting I want to learn 😀 thanks
Keep it up great video
Thank you!
Nice ❤️
You are the best
Thanks!
That's so neat how you can keep driving while the grain cart pulls next to you to unload. Almost like those fighter planes that can refuel mid air
You know a bit considering you specialize in construction, good video!
well done sir
Thank you for the comment!
Nice video
Thanks!
May i request sir, i hope you can add a training video about reach stacker. Its a heavy equiment machine.. thank you for your response..
Noted
can you make a video on how to plant seeds to make corn or how to use a combine for beens
Definitely will see if we can do that this spring!
Hey, how do I outrun it?!
Awsome
Thanks
Anytime
Are there contracting jobs where you can hop in a farmer's combine, or lease your own to do a field for cash? Do you need a license or anything for that?
Could you show how to operate a tree harvester?
Are the Claas machines yellow/grey in the US? Is this standard or a custom paint job?
Yes, yellow/black in US....never really thought about it but you’re right...aren’t they green/white in Europe? No idea why? Maybe someone else will reply with why?
@@HeavyMetalLearning Here in Germany/Europe they are bright green/white with "Claas" in red letters.
A buddy of mine was a welder for Claas, when I see him I'll aks him if he has any idea...
They used to be sold as CAT combines in the early 2000s and were painted yellow and black. They then were sold as Claas combines starting probably 15 years ago but the kept the yellow and black paint until just a couple years ago with the 7000/8000 series
how do you take it out of auto drive
Making any adjustments will pull it out.
Wow, there's a passenger seat. Neat!
haha so you can get your little one hooked on farming right away.
I have never driving a anyform of a harvested but it look very easy.. i wil do it for a living. I am from south africa
yeah....you figure it out after a bit
I'm wondering how much harder it is to learn to operate an older 1980s Massey Ferguson combine. Also I've never driven a combine. I've driven a skid loader, telehandler and forklifts. Is driving a combine harder or easier to learn to drive?
It is a lot harder, maybe just the driving is about the same level but getting as clean grain as possible without loosing too much out the back is the hard part
Crazy that it's so automatic I always thought that the operator controlled everything.
Yo do you know how to drive spaceships
Duh bro
Heavy Metal Learning hahaha 🤠
Ya forgot to put the ladder up
Ladder doesn’t go up...at least on this model.
Heavy Metal Learning it does go round to the side on modern lexion models I think this is what he means - there isn’t any point in doing this with a header on though so you didn’t do anything wrong!
I thought like wtf who am i subbed to but u guys changed name
Yup...we’re sneaky like that. We think it will be a good thing that now we can separate our content between 2 channels to keep it easier for our subscribers. Thanks!
No one wears a seatbelt in tractors or combines
well not no one....I do. Safety first...always!
Heavy Metal Learning I’ve worked in contracting all my life. I have honestly never seen or met anyone who wears their belt. There are a lot of scenarios where you are worse off wearing a belt, ask if you want to explain.
@@jaegerbomb4142 respectfully, I'm not shocked that a user named "jaeger bomb" does not follow proper safety practices. Wear a seatbelt, no argument or discussion on this. For every scenario you want to try and claim you are "worse off" I can give you 10 others that have helped if not saved an operators life. These ROPS cabs are only safe if you are secured inside them.
Heavy Metal Learning can we clarify we are talking about tractors, not wagons. I didn’t say that wearing a seatbelt was not safer, I purely pointed out that it can break the pelvis and almost split a man in half (due to the lack of airbags, crumple zones, suspension) in certain situations.
The reason farmers and drivers don’t wear belts is because you are rarely going above twenty, you are in and out of the cab, if you hit something chances are it isn’t going to slow you down a great deal and as I pointed out above it can be more dangerous in certain situations (not with wagons only with tractors).
Fair enough insult an online name someone has created as a cheap laugh - but don’t precede it by “respectfully” - what a cock.
I will tell you now, I find it very hard to believe that you have any experience in agriculture (a 100hp tractor on your garden doesn’t count).
I have worked for custom harvesting units in the USA, and have spent all my life contracting and working on farms in the U.K. - naturally I have met an awful lot of tractor drivers, I have never met one that shares your opinion. In the U.K. and the USA you are not required by law to wear a seatbelt in an agricultural vehicle, I have never been told by a dealer that the correct safety practice is wearing a belt. The only reason tractors have them fitted is to tick a box as far as I can see. It might seem like I’m lecturing you on this and I don’t mean to be rude or cocky but I have done this job all my life and I don’t enjoy being talked down upon by someone who knows very little about agricultural machinery.
@@jaegerbomb4142 You are being rude and cocky. I can assure you seatbelts are not installed to "tick a box". Again, not going to have this debate with you just telling you that I don't agree with you (and I know plenty that do wear them). Ultimately we love the operators that provide their own experience and opinions on our channel, but just won't tolerate anyone advocating against using a proper safety device. So move along......
