    That's a lot of fun to watch. Nice work. We found your channel from a comment you left on another page. We'd really appreciate if you'd give our channel a look if you aren't already following us and have a minute.

    With how expensive the huge grain carts are I bet that some farmers are building their own during the winter. If you are emptying into a semi why not have unloading augers at each end of the cart?

      I don't see many farmers building their own? I would not have one if I wasn't doing custom combining. They're kind of pricey but when you look at ours saved on a combine each year if a grain cart makes it through a couple of combines the values saved in depreciation on the combine paid for the cart

    Good to see you getting it down. Looks like the moisture is around 19%? Figured it might have been a little lower.

    Sometimes you just have to go slow...
    Some of the guess rows I've seen 🙄😂🤣 I shouldn't say anything.. I've never planted with a corn planter, just a grain drill. But most of the time, I keep the spacing pretty much perfect 😎
    (I've flicked too much 💩 to people who leave rabbit tracks... Some even leave elk or moose tracks😵😵😵 so I don't dare mess up..
    I'd never hear the end of it!!

      So I have a group of customers with the small machine like I do and it's funny because our mentality is just go at a comfortable speed. On the larger machines it's we now need to improve everything to keep up to this combine so they've got six and seven thousand bushels an hour coming off the field so they need to build the rest of the farm to take that

    I don't know if its just me, but there is something about harvesting corn! Out of al the grains, I think corn is my favorite!

      @jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes! It's so much more fun to open a corn field. And it feels so cool when you split the field and just have that path!

    Ain't gonna lie, nice not having corn this year LOL! Almost did a little custom work this year, but already switched the combine over back to small grains and put away.

    Could you get up to 7200 bu/hr like a x9...? 😏 time for a new Fendt demo, the one with no steering wheel!!

    • @jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754
      @jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The X9 can't get to 7200 and maintain it. It would be nice to see a competent combine person with some John Deere people running the x 9 on TH-cam to see what it could do and then walk behind it and show loss and samples in the grain tank. The only one that I heard of was from the farm progress show and the lexion class 9 with chopping corn head so a tremendous more horsepower draw and the John Deere did not and the class 9 stood right next to it for miles per hour but had a lot better grain tank sampling a lot less loss.
      I'll be running the fendt this week but it will have a steering wheel, it will be really fun to see what it can do!
