672,000 LBS of CORN PER HOUR. Shelling some high bushel corn with three class 9 combines.

On today’s episode it is to wet to be cutting beans so we take on a different look. Shelling corn with tree class 9 combines is definitely a change of pace.
My name is Kendal Johnson, I’m a married 25 year old dad/farmer. I farm with my grandpa (papaw), dad, siblings, uncles, and several cousins. Our operation is called Stahl Farms, a family farm in Southwest Ohio. We farm corn and soybeans with lots of red equipment. My goal is to show a little bit of everything. The good, bad, the fun and the boring days.

Happy Birthday, glad you had an enjoyable one for the books.

Great video Kendal

Even though I’m a Deere guy that red paint looks pretty nice! Happy Birthday!

[@Corvacar]

While You’re liking Deere, do not forget the Company that developed the Self Propelled Combine from scratch. It’s the same Company ( individual actually ) that developed and held the patent for the three Point Hitch. The others jumped on it, including Deere, the instant the patent went off.

Always enjoy your videos Kendal. Up where we are we got rain/snow tonight.

[@farmerjohnson620]

We got that tonight too my videos are usually delayed two weeks or so

[@joescheller6680]

We have quad axle trailer and trucks with pushers. 105500 is legal with a 10% over for harvest we can load 70000 lbs before the 10% harvest grace one the quads tandem trailer with pups we can gross over 150000 lbs

We have 15 trucks to keep up with that's why we use a 2000 bushel grain cart

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Happy Birthday 🥳

[@CaryGuyer]

Good topic of grain cart size. If farmers run legal sized truck loads, yes a 1,000bu grain cart is ideal. On the other hand though, in situations where say, a truck breaks down or gets backed up at an elevator, a bigger capacity grain cart is a good thing to have in those situations in order to keep the machines running, but then again, those stop times are a good opportunity to find the nearest bathroom or do a little visual inspection on the machine. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, 1,000-1,300bu carts are a good rule of thumb if you have the size of operation to utilize them. Funny story about staying legal hauling grain, back 30 years ago, we were running 6 semi trucks and not a one of them would leave our grain sight unless they were loaded up to around 110-115k lbs. 😎.

[@mikemccloney5640]

Some states let you haul grain at 96000 with a lite truck you can put on 1300 BU.

[@rongrose3746]

Happy belated birthday!!

[@Buchananfarms]

There are several reasons why: 1. Our fields are large in Central IL. By the time we open up the field on the opposite end of the road, the 2000 bushel cart is already full when supporting a Lexion running a 16 row head. 2. Manpower. It’s getting harder and harder to find people who want to work. Why have another grain cart operator when you could have another truck driver or someone running tillage? 3. It allows the combine to continue to run a little bit longer if, not continuously when the trucks are running behind because of good corn, long travel distances, or a combination of both.

[@RogerWiget-l5m]

Happy birthday to you

[@bradenconway9066]

Good lord i wish, it would take us a good week and 2 combines to make that many bushels of anything up here in SE Alberta the past 5 years. On a normal year we might cut that much in 2-3 days and on a good year it would take us a whole day at least if not 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 days. No corn though all wheat, peas, lentils and canola

What's your auger unload bu/sec?

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks you for another excellent video. I'd like to see your 9250 combines pushing 18 folding corn heads.

[@farmerjohnson620]

Maybe some day but for right now the 60’planters and 12 row heads work pretty well

[@dharrison6832]

​@@farmerjohnson620did you see the 24 row headers ..... 🤯

[@ryanknight5434]

The reason why the case 9250 idles down when you come to a stop is because you are using too much fuel so it will idle down and if you want to go faster what you do is bring a throttle all the way down to where it's in the idle position and then when you start to take off you throttle it back up I should know I helped build those

[@frankg5466]

so you are clipping over a 100 acres every 2 hrs. when 3 machines are running, Quite impressive.

[@joescheller6680]

This Papleau harvesting from minn. Yeah I butchered that spelling.

[@paulprigge1209]

Cut corn? LOL shell corn. That is 12,000 bushel an hour how sustainable is that with basically trucks that will hold 1000 bushel ?

[@John-nc4bl]

Kendal, why not unload on the go directly into the trucks. There would be less grain fines. Potato, onion, sugar beet, silage and other crops are dumped directly from the harvester on the go into the trucks and I seen no reason why you couldnt do it with corn. Grain carts are expensive.

[@farmerjohnson620]

Many of our fields are not accessible by semi. Compaction semis have very little surface area and they are very very hard on your ground. And power ditches here in southwest Ohio with our very tight clay ground we have to run power ditches to drain the water and power ditches are brutal on loaded semis.
