[@iancroot1388]

Great video as ever, the figures you quoted at the start are absolutely mind blowing to someone here in the UK, that field that was being harvested is larger than the majority of the complete farms here. A truly well oiled team of harvesters well coordinated and a great watch.

[@funnrun3399]

The Uk is beautiful

[@ih1206]

That’s quite the fleet of equipment. It’s impressive to watch an outfit like that work. The one thing that always grinds my gears with a operation this size is how they bore thru the mud just like at the beginning of the video. To each their own, but my dad would rip you a new one one for boring up his farm and it’s a value I still stick with to this day.

[@r3b3lxxleader]

We just started wheat harvest yesterday, had about 400 acres planted but about 150 of it pretty much taken out by weeds so we're not sure our guys will be able to harvest that circle or not. We'll have to wait and see when they get to it.

Must have found some footage you missed from a few years ago Jason? These are the series 1 versions of the 9000R's with the steel fuel tanks. I remember from a few of your spring videos that they were using the series 2 versions with the plastic tanks. I like the looks of the steel tanked versions better anyways. Just looks tougher looking even at the cost of decreased visibility out the back.

Big farming is just out of hand they took the small farmer out, and now have to haul ass to get the job done. And some of them not paying for land rent..

[@artfranz2273]

Wonder why they run the reels so far down into the grain? I learned to set the reel so it wasn’t much deeper than the heads of the grain, so the reel didn’t shatter grain off the heads and/or knock heads off the grain stalk.

[@anthonybanda8192]

They had heavy rains which knocked down the wheat in spots lodging it. The mudd in the beginning is a dead giveaway that storms had been in the area . Thick wheat will lodge after rains to quickly harvest it without losing yield they run the reel lower and faster . With the macdon heads the reel can run lower without issues especially in beans . My family runs 2 40 foot macdon heads .

[@artfranz2273]

[@jascollinscork]

Great video..... very interesting to see the system there!!! 2 crops in the one year is crazy!! That was some shower of rain too!! The size of the field was mental too but think this channel has show us bigger? The average size of a field in southern 🇮🇪 is 20-30 acres at best although we do have a view 50-100 acre ones for tillage or grass!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Two crops in one year is a nice system. Wheat in June and soybeans in October. This 1,000 acre field is separated by a tree line from a 3,000 acre field you see in many of my Case IH Steiger and Axial-Flow videos. The farm in videos largest field is 2,800 acres which has been in several BTP videos.

On my bosses wheat harvest operation, there's 2 John Deere 9660 STS combines (one is a Bullet Rotor) their oldest brother owns a John Deere 9760 STS combine. The bullet rotor combine uses a John Deere 635D 35' draper head, and the other 2 combines use 630F 30' hydraflex headers, and with the grain cart, their oldest brother owns a John Deere 8120 with tinted windows that I used last fall to haul corn with an A&L F705 700 bushel grain cart. With trucks, they use 2 semis with 38' 1000 bushel trailers to haul the wheat to the Conway Springs Farmers Coop.

when I last worked for a farmer in 1986 we used a IH 1460 with an 18’ head, a White dump truck and a 1949 International truck. My grandfather last farmed in 1966. he had a Massey Harris pull type combine with an 8’ head, and two International trucks, 1947 and 1949. Sometimes he used his brothers Ford Truck with a flathead V8 (old army truck) BTW, those army trucks stemmed to last forever. I don’t think there was a farmer around who didn’t have one.
