I think he would. I have heard some of this history from Billy over the years. The tractor history is interesting. I could talk to Billy about it’s progression. I really need to film an Allis-Chalmers 7580 and a White 2-180 to have reference tractors to include with his talk on the history.

[@bryanbaker1000]

My first John Deere combine is a 4400. I bought well used and made a lot of repairs. It wasn't much different from being raised pulling AC 60s and 66s behind a Farmall M, or the work required from the two A 2 Gleaners we had. I've never used a combine younger than I.

[@waynewerner563]

They must have a massive grain handling facility to handle all those acres of wheat beans and corn would love to see it

[@carlfalt174]

I was to a combine ballet on October 16 with nine X9 combines in standing canola. It was quite the sight seeing that much equipment working in one spot

[@bigtractorpower]

That is impressive. How big was the canola field. It is often difficult to film all of this farms combines in corn because they sit up in the big field and as they harvest smaller field they break into a group of two or three and run at different farms.

[@carlfalt174]

@@bigtractorpower here's the story behind the combines. It was on 1200 acres of rolling property of which a third of it was either cleared of brush in early 2023 or disked down from a pasture/hayfield. It was intreagaging to see those combines with 50 foot cutting heads working some pretty steep slopes. The approximate acres for this operation amounts to 45 000. It was quite a sight to see everything work together

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks Jason for another ecxcellent video. I'd like to see those combines pushing 24 row heads instead of those small 12 row heads for combines with such high capacity.

[@user-jp7rk1uf2n]

The unloading auger would be very long. That would be a lot of weight out there.

[@John-nc4bl]

It depends on the row spacing of the corn. Calmer have had a 32 row cornhead out for several years now for narrow row corn. It is 40 feet wide, so the same width as 40 foot small grain heads. There are KZbin videos about it. Thake a look at the Mike Less video on KZbin of the 62 foot GTS Brazilian head cutting beans on a Fendt ideal 10 combine. It is very impressive and has a massive unloading auger.@@user-jp7rk1uf2n

[@bigtractorpower]

I think we will eventually see 24 row 30 inch corn heads. A head that size means allot of weight and it needs to able to follow the contours of fields. This 2,800 acre field has some decent slopes in it and lots of tile drain mounds. The drone view of the combines is one long upward grade. At the end of the video you see four of the X9s working on the back side of the forks on a good sized slope. The 12 rows follow the ground well. A 24 row will need allot of tilt.

It’s amazing to me to see a farm that can run that much big equipment. The price of those combines amazes me but their capacity is also.

[@curtmyers6273]

This farmer Mike is friends with and records them alot and they have I believe 11000 acres of corn. They had 7 machines last year and looks like they are now using 5. 5 machines is around 2000 acres per machine so I'm going to guess maybe 1000hrs per machine. That's why Billy trades probably trades every year. I maybe off but I doubt I'm too far off. Our operation will put on about 250hrs on our 690 over 3000 acres we also use a 9870 on beans. We don't use that one on corn unless we need to.

No prices for it yet, but guessing it's gonna be at least 3/4 $Million, without a header.

My main concern is the final end product. Will the ethanol produced from this corn be gently and reverently placed into new charred white oak barrels for years of miraculous and consciousness altering aging, or will it wantonly be mixed with petroleum distillates, only to be quickly combusted while spewing the previously, naturally sequestered carbon back into the atmosphere????????????? This being Kentucky, I'm hoping for, and expecting the former vs the latter. A great corn harvest deserves a life of at least twelve years.

Whoa! No wonder food costs so much!!

[@bigtractorpower]

There is a great misconception on the cost of food. Some where between the farmer and the bravery store shelf there is a mark up but it’s not at the farm level. A bushel of corn is currently selling for $4.76 when the farner delivers. It costs the farmer about $1.50 bu. To raise the corn with seed cost, fuel, labor, equipment cost. More if there is land rent. A bushel of corn sold for $4.76 will make 45 boxes of corn flakes. The cost of a 12 oz box of Corn Flakes is $6.99. The Miller and the super market have a big mark up. The farmers return is set by the market price determined by trading on an exchange that they have no control over.

[@HAWKSTA24]

What is the moisture on that corn? The leaves are really green. Going to use a lot of LP to dry it.

[@steinwaymodelb]

In that part of the country the ears dry down before the plant itself dies completely. Judging by the speed they're running and how easily the corn is flowing, I'd say the grain is comfortably under 18%.

@@steinwaymodelb The farm I grew up on was in Southern Indiana, about 60 miles north of Louisville, Ky. We never picked corn with that much green. But, the hybrids were very different then, the combines were 4 rows, and the drier was heated air blown into the bottom of the bin.
