2020 Illinois Corn Harvest with On Track Farming Inc

Corn Harvest video from the Gibson City Illinois area. In this video I am out in the field with On Track Farming Inc as they harvest a field of corn with their Claas Lexion 8800 combine with a 16 ow Gerringhoff Corn Head. Also in the video is the farms Challenger 1050 tractor pulling a Balzer 2000 grain cart and a Challenger MT865C tractor pulling a Kinze 1500 tracked grain cart.

[@SusanCountryLife]

Your hard work really pays off in these beautiful crops.

Great video Mike. You have to admit, those were some good looking tractors and grain carts! I like how the tracked tractor had the tracked cart and the fat tired tractor had the fat tired cart--well themed!

[@coryfritz295]

As always Mike, great footage!! You always seem to have a great background scene whether it be mountains, a paving crew at work, or a big structure fire off in the distance. Thanks again!!

[@ScottPykare]

Really enjoyed this video Mike. It ended too quickly for sure. Thanks for sharing.😊👍

Modern combines are engineering marvels.

That was a really enjoyable video thanks Mike!

Thanks for the vedio mike the challenger looks pretty sweet

Always like music in your videos. Nice looking truck at end of video.

For the first time this past fall I saw 2 Class combines in Mt Holly, NJ.

Claas. Auto-correct!

It will get you every time on certain words.

Hello Mike, I am glad to see you posted a comment on Kate Stephens channel [ Kate's Ag - Farm to Fashion ] , you have a great channel btw. 😊

[@ZekenStreak]

Nice big equipment!!

[@rongrose3746]

Those Claas Combines just plain EAT corn !

[@filmaker256]

Do you make corn oil here too?

[@tsint]

Nice video! How many hours/days do you usually put on these machines in the US? Seems like your harvest season is much longer than ours in northern Europe.

[@PhillipFluellen-yj2on]

Can someone telle why the corn shoot out the back of the cutter I'm thinking it all go in the trailer

[@philipchamp594]

Good video

[@samspade4634]

Wow, that combine was moving fast for taking 16 rows at a time. I am always amazed and very appreciative of how you keep me up to date with the progress of agricultural advancement. Thanks Mike for another great video.

[@clairewarren6533]

What is with all of the trucks with dump trailers lined up on the road? My 3yo must know

[@get__some]

laying down fresh hot rock. all the ones in front of the paver are loaded. the ones way up front with theor beds up are cleaning out.. scraping off the tailgate, cleaning off the bumper, etc. hourly work. pays really well if the driver doesn't mind sitting and crawling. way better in the country than inner city

[@davidhabler391]

SUPER!!!♥

[@camdonu8135]

what was the field average?

[@paulpochan9631]

Nice....!!!

[@KNJensen]

Mike do you have any data on this harvest? Avg speed, avg bu/hr, yield and so on? :)

[@farmhandmike]

No I don't ask farmers yields or acres farmed.

[@KNJensen]

Mike, seus vídeos são muito bons, didáticos e elucidativos. Parabéns 🇧🇷

[@MrDabaja]

Great video! and beautiful combine

[@wilfharder3857]

Wow! If that combine had wings it would be flying, what a incredible speed doing 16 rows of corn!

[@fazeobama8872]

the geringhoff heads are really something else

[@josephrodgers3119]

That was a real nice video, enjoyed very much. Thanks again Mike and as always from me, two thumbs up.👍👍

[@KNJensen]

I really wish that Claas would bring the 8900 to the US. I think it would outrun any competitor in corn!

[@MRSludgedude]

I don't see why the won't. Deere gonna swallow them up on sales.

[@fazeobama8872]

in the past there were concerns about engine servicability with certain engine brands but idk what they even put in the 8900..

[@masabid3659]

Keren, di Indonesia gak ada nih yang seperti ini.

[@MRSludgedude]

How does that lex compare to NH cr of the same size?

[@BirconuGaming]

Nice video 😁

[@jimpolk]

I'm guessing those little yellow spinny things on top of the corn head are more for fun than anything else cause I don't see them really doing anything.

[@farmhandmike]

They really help if you have down corn.

[@jimpolk]

@@farmhandmike ah. Ok.

[@chadshafer8095]

Great Video. I am a Big Fan of you Mike & OF On Track Farming. I love their 1050 Challenger tractors & Lexion combines. I like the new Green & white color scheme. I am glad they went back to their roots with the color scheme.

[@tomn9094]

Where do I sign up

[@billbooth4147]

Dang it I was hoping to see some roads getting fixed. Good looking equipment,nice video

[@landerson1012]

Not often one gets to see a Balzar grain cart. They do have a plant 15 miles from me. Although they weren't featured in this video, Demo has 2 plants 70 miles from me. And to round it off, Challenger is built 25 miles away. My wife used to work there as a welder. Didn't seem like a 25 minute video...good stuff!

I like Mike less videos.

[@henrylopez5252]

That 16 row corn head is almost as awesome as watching that Mike Less guy on KZbin! Lol

[@jeremiahmarpole4531]

Do the stock smashers on the corn head help much? I really see them a lot more on today’s machines

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Harvest Vlog, thanks for sharing

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

What a first claas video! 😉👍🏻

[@LtColDaddy71]

We’re a couple of hours apart. The custom farming thing intrigues me. I never meant for it to happen, but I start a lot later being organic, and I built two custom hot rod DB90’s Exact Emerge planters on 20”. On that flat tilled conventional seed bed, we can burn it up. I can get all the average guys beans planted in less than 2 days. If it was a perfect world and nothing ever broke and we weren’t doing so much road time, you’d be able to plant 1000 acres in a day. John Deere definitely has legitimate reasons for not offering such a monster on it’s regular menu. It takes every bit of what a 15 liter Cummings tuned to run at around 675 horsepower can give. Anything heavier, the footprint of the tractor just couldn’t deliver the traction. Back to the point, how far out do you go for your custom work? I hope to keep getting those calls. I really believe that the same pop planted on 20” instead of 30” will produce 2-5 bushel more. Come to think of it, the old 1790 will do 15’s if someone wanted that, I just can’t cover much ground with a slow 40’ rig.

[@LtColDaddy71]

I just have to add this with a laugh. In 15 years of doing custom work, the planters will pay for themselves! 😂. I’m sure you see the humor in that. On a serious note, on the organic side, tolerances are really really tight. You’ve got essentially 3 crops going in every year. The main crop, double crop, and covers. Their are two roads to take. Be a little guy with no bills, or invest heavily in capacity. I respect both.

[@dellfieldfarm]

That is one good looking tractor and grain cart!!!
