    Impressive but for the price, speed in the field, and grain cleaning capabilities, all without losing it out the back of the combine, nothing beats a Gleaner.
    You always put together the best farming videos though. Thank you BTP!!!

    Claas started out developing their tracks in cooperation with Caterpillar in the 90s (0r 80s). They took the Cat tracks to put under the combine, realized that didn't work too well, and with Cat re-engineered the tracks until it worked and then built from there. There's a TH-cam video from Claas on that history, maybe you can get Engish subtitles on it.

    • @bigtractorpower

    It's funny how much the straw market changes from here in the mid-Atlantic to KY. Here, straw is worth about $300/ton. Everybody bales the straw here because it's almost worth more than the grain lol

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Straw here in KY is valuable in the field. It serves as a mulch for double crop soybeans seeded right behind the combine. Two crops from one field in the same year is where the money is at in WKY grain. You can see the seeding of double crop soybeans in this video m.th-cam.com/video/NS3nI5KVL_U/w-d-xo.html

    I like the look of those Class tractors. 90 bushel/acre it's amazing how much more productive the fields are now versus 30-40 years back? I wonder how much of that has to do with tillage techniques, fertilizer usage, and plant modification respectively?

    • @bigtractorpower

      The Xerion in front of the cornbin is a platform not only a tractor in that.
      You can see that big free space behind the cabin it can be used for a liquid manure cart or seeding combination also you can turn the full cabin back and using a mower for hay.
      The steering is not like the Buds and JD or Case in the middle. All wheels are able to be steering as a 4W model or spread out that 1 wheel is hitting the ground didn't know the English name in Germany it's named "Hundegang".

    CLAAS is conquering the United States :-)
    You can already see the Lexion more often harvesting in in the USA. But the XERION is a rare tractor. Here in Germany mostly every contrator uses one or two Xerion tractors. Maybe we´ll se this powerfull machine now more often...

    • @deannelson9565
      @deannelson9565 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      No they aren't. Lexion sales in the United States are stagnant at this time or as they like to put it 'stable'. They have been on the scene for a couple decades now and just have not caught on. I mean seriously you make a class 10 combine yet it has a grain tank that is smaller than a class 9 John Deere that makes absolutely no sense not to mention the offload speed on the augurs slower. Who gives a s*** if you could eat a bunch more grain with your combine if you don't have anywhere to put it and you basically have to surgically attached to grain cart to the side of the combine.

    • @LDan77
      @LDan77 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@deannelson9565 ok, ok. My comment did not specifically refer to the Lexion combine - more generally CLAAS. And you should not take it very serious.
      But if you like to talk about the Lexion, why not.
      Here in Germany it looks like 90% of all contractors and large farmers are using Lexion Combines. I´m not a big fan of CLAAS, but there must be something good with this machines, otherwise there would not be that many on the fields.
      So you talk about class 9 / 10 combines. We don´t have this classes here. So I´ll take what we got based on your examples:
      engine:
      JD S790: 625 Max HP
      Lexion 780: 626 Max HP
      graintank:
      JD: 14000 ltr / 400 bushel
      Lexion: 13500 / 383 bushel
      unloading speed:
      JD: 135 ltr/sec or 3.83 bushel/sec
      Lexion: 130 ltr/sec or 3,69 bushel/sec
      So I can see not that much differences you like to show me.
      It is often the case that the family / company always had a brand and continues to buy. Both machines are good machines.

They can’t give Lexions away where I live and the resale market on them is horrible. $800,000 list price is in reality probably $500,000 retail price. After one season and it’s worth only $250,000. Nobody wants them (at least where I live they don’t) because the resale is so bad.

Not sure of the model number of the case IH I saw setting at a dealership but it had a monster set of tracks. I understand different manufactures will have different setups and equipment.

    • @sean3223a
      @sean3223a 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I may...to the best of my knowledge this is why the class numbering system isn't arbitrary in that manner. If you consider that decades ago many John Deere 55 combines came with a 217 cubic inch engine and later a 303 cubic inch engine, producing 70 horsepower then 98 horsepower (if memory serves) then the class numbering system makes sense, starting from class 1. By hearsay I've come across this rationale a number of times over the years being born and raised and continuing farming.

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In North America for model year 2019 most combine makers offer 5-9. New Holland and Claas offed 10. In Europe smaller combines are offered below 5.

    If the combine class system works off of engine horses power and grain bin size. why is it the a John Deere S790 only a class 9 combine?

      Everette Harris engine horsepower not grain tank size.

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is not based on grain bin size. AGCO’s Gleaner combines 6,7, 8 are all 390 bu machines but have different engine hp. The S790 is 543 hp and that is why it is a class 9.

      In the United States combines have been measured in bushels for nearly 100 years. I guess that’s just the way it’s always been. Interesting Forage harvesters here are measured in tons of product harvested.
