FIRST DAY OF CORN HARVEST 2024 with 16 row JOHN DEERE Combines

[@milesboehmer9969]

Awesome, I remember growing up with a 4010 and a front mounted cultivator,then switching to a rear mounted 6 row, it amazes me as a disabled army vet in a chair, love to watch the new farm equipment. Thank you !

16 row corn heads are always so massive looking no matter what brand it is. They sure can eat up a field with them that wide. It's great to see harvest starting because that always means lots of action.

The folding Corn Head’s are very effective and efficient, but it’s a lot of weight and they are still 20 feet wide going down the road. If you have a lot of big fields and only have to move once a day it’s not too big of a deal. Just take them off and put them on a header wagon.

[@rossnolan2883]

Great effort but I'd go slightly faster than 2.2 miles an hour go 5 miles an hour instead 😊😊😊

[@bigtractorpower]

The farm is happy with its current speed because they find that they have the least amount of loss at that speed with the setting that they prefer. I observed this farm doing a combine demo with a larger combine that was easily running at 5 mph but I also saw as they check the settings that there was more loss at the higher speed.

[@mattphillips4260]

i bet that corn is in the low to mid 20% moisture

[@bigtractorpower]

I think it was 23%. It was 99° the day I filmed this on on 8/21. The heat here really allows for earlier corn harvesting, and corn planning for that matter so when they’re drying it, it doesn’t have the same impact as if you were harvesting in the snow and trying to run it through the Dryer in November.

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

How do Deere combine model numbers identify them in this era? How would an s680 be different from these? Or how would an s790 be different?

[@lynwessel2471]

A 680 is the previous series replaced by the 780. The 790 is the largest S series combine replaced the 690. The new series is called S7 600, 700, 800,900.

[@bigtractorpower]

S in for single time rotor. 7 is 700 series which indicates that it offers on the go automatic computer adjustments and has cameras that allow you to see the green running through the Combine through cameras. 8 stands for its horse power class. 670, 770, 780 and 790. The S680 is earlier 2012-2017 models. They do not have the automatic adjustments or cameras that’s basically the only difference between 600 and 700.

850 per minute so 1 and 1/2 minutes and cart is empty. How many bushels does the average semi trailer hold?

[@DoubleD56]

900 - 1000 for a Normal 39-41ft ag hopper bottom. Out west, they hold quite a bit more, but they have bigger trailers.

[@keithriggin3066]

I always shot for 1000 bu per load

[@bigtractorpower]

The farm runs the size green cart because it perfectly fills a 1000 bushel semi truck and having that type of capacity to pour the grain out is very important because when the carts up at the trucks, the combines are almost full and eager to unload as soon as it returns.

[@dankoopman4616]

I agree with the other comment. Those heads are way too big. A 12 roll would be a perfect match. You'd have less weight, less compaction and you could go maybe a mile and a half per hour faster. They would also have better resale value with and be more attractive to the next owner

[@Ellison89Brett]

Maybe they have 80’ planters? They also won’t have any trouble keeping the machines full even in a lower yielding area. Ground speed doesn’t matter, it’s about bushels per hour. And compaction would actually be more because with a narrower head there would be more passes across the field. A 16 row 30” non-chopping head weights about the same as a 12 row 30” chopping folding head.
