2017 Wheat Harvest Underway In May: Case IH 8240 Combines

[@camkenimer5279]

I enjoy seeing folks mowing around fields after harvest in addition to the harvest itself. That's something you don't see a lot of in videos is the mowing!

[@chuckstevenson2929]

Unbelievable amount of money in those fields.

[@eraaspr1]

Big thanx for another great video. Can almost feeling the straw itching underneath the clothes. Thanx for making it possible to see such great farming.

[@stanhensley3082]

Wow,what long long day running those combines.When a crop is flat you work hard all day keeping the combine moving.Yes I have done some of that work in my farm in days.Hat off the those combine operators.My neck is sore just watching them.

[@starconqueror]

Come now, nothing like the old days. Not now with automatic header controls and such. You can see their pretty much scalping the ground.

[@dotdavis4074]

Stan Hensley tractors

[@farmhandmike]

Great Video! Lots of different farm equipment in action but my favorite was the farm truck pulling both header carts down the road. Then you even caught the guy coming at you with the Dodge diesel truck with the smoke stacks in the bed, tow mirrors all the way out and a Cat license plate on his truck. That made me laugh!

[@qkopp279]

Love the video. I think it would be very interesting to do a farm tour of the farm itself and all the equipment in the sheds

[@bigtractorpower]

+Q kopp maybe this winter I will show some of the farms BTP films at.

[@qkopp279]

bigtractorpower I’d love that!

[@fergie35X]

Great video. Cannot believe it has come round again already.

[@patsellars5658]

Fantastic vid, great to see modern farming like this, the class dominator I used to drive didn't have a cab, dust for breakfast dinner and tea lol! Well done and thanks for sharing. stay safe. pat. uk.

[@ViciouslyFish]

I've always found it amazing that just a couple states away someone is cutting wheat while our wheat is still at least 2-3 weeks away from being dry lol.

[@sean3223a]

Great video!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@Tractormanpj]

On our farm we use a 12815 bush hog bat wing mower on an Allis Chalmers 7045. It does a good job.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Tractormanpj the 7045 is a great tractor.

[@juanantoniovillegas2208]

Excelente equipos muy bueno

[@jakeziegler599]

Good video! Never like seeing down wheat. Always wondering if it will dry enough on the ground. Lookin forward to more videos!

[@bigtractorpower]

The MacDons really do a great job in lifting the wheat up. BTP filmed in a field that was flat as a pancake with new Geringoff headers. They clipped it all right off the ground.

[@tlowevpnv]

Great vid love to watch red power work in the field.

[@peterbilt5104]

It's winter wheat planted back in October and harvest in the following year..

[@lsgreger2645]

What it a wet winter or just a lot of wind to lodge the wheat? I just have hard spring wheat poking out of the ground. Should be ready to harvest here in North Dakota about August!

[@owenpotter8417]

The field looks very British with all the trees in the background

[@Northern_Farmer]

Great VIdeo... Hopefully the wheat prices go up... but thats not looking to great for now. Our spring Wheat was down like that a lot of places last fall.. sure made for a mess this spring.

[@troyskeese1503]

Will they use the same heads to cut the beans ?an do you think we will ever see self propelled grain carts ?

[@bigtractorpower]

They use these MacDons in the beans as well. There are home made sp carts out there. The cart tractor in this video also does tillage in the fall so it has double duty which is cost effective.

[@johnmarshall2024]

Guessing the protein was a little higher than normal due to the stress of the freezes you mentioned? What is the falling number?

[@FarmerBoy-zy7sj]

Amazing video Jason, what part of western Kentucky are those combines running?

[@bigtractorpower]

These are in Hopkinsville. Combines are running in Bowling Green too.

[@2011hemiram]

bigtractorpower I was thinking cadiz area. I see a place with two of these as well as a quad trac or two on my way to cadiz to deliver

[@Plast_and_Cars]

This is real cool video I very like it! And CASE IH and Ford road train on the road look nice, in my country this wide combine can't go true villege because they too wide with this double tires.

[@alexthomson719]

breast of machines great video thanks really enjoyed nothing like them in Scotland looking forward to more

[@bigtractorpower]

+alex thomson thank you for watching.

[@paulbrown4850]

Blooming hell our crops here in the uk are only about 2 or 3 inches out of the ground and won't be harvested until August

[@catherinegalligan4413]

Paul Brown

[@MiracleManMatt]

Right at the start- looks like they have the reel mega mega low? - like way too low. I would have thought they would be bashing the ears off?

[@bigtractorpower]

+Matt Manning no just picking up the wheat. No damage.

[@Azzi61]

How come all the case combines in your videos have the horizontal dual disc spreaders. Compared to the vertical spreaders. We have lots of combines in our area with the vertical ones and they dot seem to have any problems.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Azzi61 I do not know. It must be the option farmers prefer in Kentucky.

[@carsonchaney950]

It's cause New Holland owns them now and they changed it to copy the New Holland combine, instead of the old International style like you mentioned in your area.

[@nbssms]

well this is how the world is fed, excellent video!

[@baldeaglesracing8906]

Who else had had summer grasses seeding out early? My first cut of hay was terrible but everything seeded out so early and stopped growing

[@smylebutta7250]

240 series is not class five through nine. 240 series is class seven through nine. 140 series is class five through seven. Class seven overlaps in both series. Legacy and Flagship series are completely different machines.

[@bigtractorpower]

+smylebutta7250 you are correct. I should have clarified that.

[@AASparkChaser]

Lots of straw there. Sure hope they don't have any rocks hiding under that lodged wheat!

[@bigtractorpower]

The biggest issue is collecting dirt from sprayer ruts.

[@jasonservary5312]

what model year was the Case IH loader tractor pulling the batwing?

[@bigtractorpower]

+Jason Servary 2017

[@dillonjohn3976]

we will be harvesting corn next month here in southern Florida

[@kentuckyfarmer1129]

dillon ridling wow in Kentucky we maybe harvesting wheat corn is just 2 foot tall or less

[@dillonjohn3976]

Samuel Webb the farm to the south of us has already chopped there 10,000 acres and about to plant another crop of corn it looks like we will probably be starting on the 20th of the month cutting our corn then put a cover crop out for the summer then do our 2nd crop of corn for the year this fall when y'all start harvesting beans or corn

[@kentuckyfarmer1129]

dillon ridling that crazy lol

[@dillonjohn3976]

Samuel Webb yes it is I used to farm up north and our busy time a year is fall through spring and take the summers off which is backwards from what you would think

[@smileyclownyloks9949]

Which one is better john deere or case ih

[@TeezleySPT]

Where is the Plant17 video?

[@bigtractorpower]

+TeezleySPT the next BTP video will feature Corn planting.

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Magnificent.

[@douglaslaramie9245]

So double-cropping beans on wheat is not a bonus, it is mandatory to stay viable, correct. The world's cupboard is well stocked with wheat. Another large crop worldwide and I see the early 80's all over again. To much over-production. Markets are flooded. JMHO

[@myronparks3495]

I see a cable under that row crop 470.

[@jackybruckers]

What is the normal month to harvest wheat in Kentucky? I seeded my wheat 15 october (Belgium) and its just coming in bloom . Can these farmers make any profit with yields between 80-100 bushels ? Around here everything is so freaking expensive that if you can not use your own grain for your own cattle and you have to sell it ; you will not make any profit with less than 150 bushels/acre . Corn ,wheat ,barley ,sugarbeets ,most of the vegetables it is all loss around here . Potatoes are sometimes good , some vegetables ( the ones with a lot of manual work ) and then you have asparagus which is always good and is called the "white gold" .

[@kentuckyfarmer1129]

jacky bruckers mid June normally is when wheat stares about 2 week early This year

[@bigtractorpower]

How cold and how much snow did you have over the winter in Belgium? There was no snow in this part of Kentucky or really even any ground freezing weather to stunt the wheat so it came in early. The wheat will do ok this year as far as money. You also have to factor in this field will yield a crop of soybeans in the same year as the wheat. Taking two crops from the same field in the same year makes the wheat well worth while.

[@jackybruckers]

Samuel Webb Thanks

[@jackybruckers]

bigtractorpower 2 times 1inch snow and a few nights 14F

[@Martyshchenko]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@jankotze1959]

Super video thank You

[@itsjp89]

Playing farming simulator 17, they did a good job of getting everything nearly perfect with the machines and such

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

[@NicholasWoyak]

Excellent video, as usual. I'm afraid someone else has uploaded it to their channel. search for "Maher channel 1". Your logo has been removed, but everything else is exactly the same.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Nick Woyak thank you for the tip. The constant copying of BTP videos is frustrating. It's bold to remove the logo.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Nick Woyak thank you again for the tip. KZbin deleted all the copied videos. Please let me know if you come across any more like this.

[@jensbendtsen5219]

it is a Fiat Powertrain curser 16 engine,not a case

[@bigtractorpower]

+Jens Bendtsen it is an Iveco built engine but listed as Case IH in the brochure.

[@69druth]

A great one again

[@mikeg306]

The Quadtrac looks silly with those narrow tracks.

[@qkopp279]

the combines brand new?

[@bigtractorpower]

yes

[@qkopp279]

Thanks for the reply! I thought so because of the updated lighting package

[@lauda987]

how many kg is 1 bushel

[@wildturkey5838]

A standard bushel is 60 pounds so about 27Kg

[@mattgrover9562]

wheat already that's crazy. around me haylage in under way

[@owenpotter8417]

And also why don't take the loader off the case magnum,for field work or at least take the grab off,all that extra weight dangling off the front that isn't being used,those loaders surely come off in minuets

[@bigtractorpower]

+Owen Potter the loader is on the Magnum for field work. This tractor is just used for batwing mowing. They use the loader to grab tree branches and trees that might have fallen on a field edge and push it back out of the field.

[@noyesphotography1979]

come to texas panhandle; they fixing to start here

[@thatcoolguyjosh5]

I'm A farmer go luook up krzyzaniak farms

[@simon5383]

I just hope it's not GMO.

[@gabewynne3025]

Simon GMO crops are necessary to produce more crop and get a higher yield although wheat is usually a cover crop or filler crop to earn some money between the normal crops.

[@simon5383]

nutritionstudies.org/gmo-dangers-facts-you-need-to-know/

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Probably not something to say on a page full of farmers.

[@simon5383]

GMO is not a good way, but money became a god.

[@Heimerviewfarm]

Simon okay
