[@mrih1586]

Love seeing the big stuff. The yield monitor was reading 94 bushels per acer. I could have nice things if I could make yields like that.

[@bigtractorpower]

The warmer climate in Kentucky can really help the crops or it can be a detriment in a dry year and the crops burn up pretty good in the sun.

[@albertafarmer894]

Love it that you do videos with the sound of the machinery.I notice that in most us harvest videos where they use draper headers in the US they put the header on a seperate trailer. Hear in Canada all the mcdon/case headers have the built in transport kit so no trailer is needed and it does not have to be tied down on the trailer cause the wheel are attached to the header. Wondering why this is not the case in the US im thinking it would save time and money.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. I think the sound of the engine and field work is music all all on its own. 😁. I have filmed a tow behind Macdon and a tow behind CNH head. It was neat seeing them lift the hitch off and set it in the grass and then attach the head and flip the transport wheels up. I am not sure why most farms here go with header wagons. Maybe because that’s the way it has always been done.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

In all your videos there are some great looking/yielding crops. It's always more fun to harvest a high yielding crop no matter the color of the combine!! Great video!! I ran International in my farming days.

[@nielsdybro9759]

Excellent video. @ 8:10: It looks like they are running SF2 signal, based on how much overlap they are running at about a foot, so they are utilizing 39 feet of the 40 foot width of the header. @10:06: The monitor shows the momentary yield at 100 bushels/acre. Did you find out what the field or farm average looks like this year? - Also, were these soybeans double cropped after wheat?

[@bigtractorpower]

These are full season beans. I am not sure what the field avg was as I only made a few passes in the cab. I would say it did well as the monitor was pretty consistent.

[@ryanp6999]

Great job BTP! Your videos are informative and very interesting.

[@chuck7476]

The Americans make it look so easy , powerful machines , powerful video

[@shawnfox8002]

I have also seen the case ih has a auger the comes apart enough to fold across the back of the combine that's something else that just amazes me. With the size these combines are going they may have to build bigger roads to allow the farm machinery to move from field to field so traffic can get to were they need to go.

[@nelsonoberg9747]

That is more of a European thing, because they have limited space in some areas. so the auger folds to reduce the overall length of the machine.

[@uTubed007]

I would add to your comentary on the tracked combine at about 6:14 that the tracks help keep the head more level throughout the field and diminishing much of the vertical impacts of a wheel. Was there any tandem axle equipped combines ever tested/prototyped?

[@bigtractorpower]

The only tandem axle Harvester I have filmed is an OXBO 6165 pea Harvester. The 6165s have started moving to tracks as well.

[@uTubed007]

Much thanks for pointing me to that special model, went watched the videos about it

[@uTubed007]

At about 3:01 you see a hare ? scamper to the right of the foreground combine. Also you can see a deer mouse (probably) also scampering toward the path travelled by the foreground combine

[@bigtractorpower]

I see allot of rabbits through out the year along with Deer out in the field.

[@dirtthunder1638]

Wow! Did he leave the seat to flip the latter as he started down the road at the end? Thought he was going in the ditch and take out the mailbox!

[@uTubed007]

Wow, at about 7:30 , 16 row of processing ! Is this only possible on class 9 combines or there are lower classes that are capable of processing 16 rows of corn?

[@bigtractorpower]

A class 8 can handle a 16 row. I filmed an 8240 on a 16 row this fall. I have filmed a class 7 combine on a 16 row. The class 8 and 7 combines have less powerful engines so they harvest at a slower speed than a class 9.

[@uTubed007]

Not-a-Farmer-Here: TY for the response, so on the Class 8 or 7 combines there wouldn't be any issues with the frame strength handling very wide/large headers? What about the processing capacity of the 7 or 8 Class combines when having those large headers?

[@justincase2830]

100/bu acre double crop ! I wonder what sort of fertility program they implement.I do not think I read the monitor wrong.It is a high grossing farm!

[@bigtractorpower]

The farm applies dry fertilizer by broadcasting after corn ahead of wheat planting. On corn to corn ground they apply dry fertilizer through the strip till bar like you see with the 620 Quadtrac. On all corn NH3 is side dressed on after the corn is up.

[@littlerougue]

So a draper head is the belts versus an auger to gather the crop to the feeder house?

[@braxtonscheepstra3832]

Yea pretty much, they are an excellent alternative, but damn are they expensive compared to a normal platform.

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes the belts collect the crop rather than an auger. Farms here started making the switch to draper heads back in 2003. I see very few auger heads any more.

[@farmerjohnson8121]

Case makes a great combine. I've always been a John Deere man. But Case combines are hard to beat.

[@bigtractorpower]

All the brands make good machines. Each one stands out for certain features. The 9240 really shines in corn. It is an acre eating machine.

I love the 9240 in farming simulator 19 for Xbox one I actually plow fields to even more acres just so I can harvest a little more its a great video game that shows how important grain farming is and all types of farming they even have jd 4840s in the game

[@mikemurphy6757]

I have it for PS, what a cool, relaxing game. Love how realistic it is. (Except the traffic, I turned that off). I just sold soybeans for $1800/L!!!

[@dwightl5863]

It appeared that when they were taking off the header for transport there was no disconnecting of drive belts, chains, hydraulic lines, etc. Was this done before the filming or what kind of magic is going on here?

[@muscletractorfan2441]

Lol big plot flaw.

[@kcgibbs]

Magic of editing. Only disconnect is an electrical connection, a single block hydraulic coupler and a drive shaft coupling. Also the main latch. Pretty simple, however occasionally the drive shaft coupling can get a little stubborn.

[@bigtractorpower]

The video was already 20 minutes long. There was a bit of a hang up with a hydraulic line so it took 10 minutes before the header was ready to be put on the header wagon. The first combine took of for the next field and it was dark when the last combine was detaching so I decided the unhooking of the connections would not really add to the video this time. I filmed the line detach but decided not to use it.

[@bigtractorpower]

Plot flaw? Just an editing choice so the video would not get longer than it is.

[@bigtractorpower]

Magic of editing is correct. 😀👍

Nice video; beautiful equipment too. With the advent of so much automation, do you sense that sometimes operators get bored, and if so, how do they combat boredom? Along the same lines, it seems possible (likely?) that at least some operators will be replaced by remotely controlled systems in the future. Any thoughts about that possibility? I'm 60, and worked on corporate farms in eastern Oregon and Washington in the 70s when I was in HS. Been on the east coast for the last 30 years, and can't believe how BIG and FAST everything is now. Powerful stuff! Thanks.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. Fully Automated farm machines are here now but not quite ready for everyday field work. The operator may not steer but they have lots of functions to keep them busy watching for plugs, steering around obstacles, refilling seed etc...

[@s.kxx1956]

All about that compaction !

[@noahhill1377]

Will the farm harvest that cover crop of rye or will it be tilled into the soil?

[@kcgibbs]

It will die and then the corn will be planted in the strips the tillage tool made.

[@bigtractorpower]

The cover crop grows over the winter. About a week before planting they will spray the rye and over the spring it will break down. It helps reduce weed growth and helps hold the soil over the summer between the rows of corn.

[@cameronkinnan6697]

Man what a beast of a machine, 500+ hp, that's something you can't ignore, we have a 9230 in fs17, as well as the quadtracks and magnum with/without tracks, but man what a video just a couple of questions, 1. What's the top speed on the highway for the combine, 2. What's the weight of the header?

[@bigtractorpower]

Top speed on tracks on the road is 19 mph. The 40ft 2162 is 7,475 lbs.

[@cameronkinnan6697]

Thank you for the reple, yeah the combine in the game goes 12 with tracks, and the header don't look that heavy, but if you look closely, the header bows, so its pretty heavy.

[@markstengel7680]

Nice farm land. When i think of soybeans, it reminds me of soy sauce in chinese foods. Enjoy BTP videos, new uploads weekly.

[@farmerallis]

That's heck of a soybean crop at 100 bushels. Full season beans I'm assuming.

[@bigtractorpower]

They are full season.

[@shawnfox8002]

I have noticed the auger has a directional tip as hes unloading can he shoot the grain out the end if necessary

[@nelsonoberg9747]

The adjustable spout is used to put the grain where you want it instead of having to guess with a stationary spout. The 9120 and the 9230 (this combines predecesors) had a fixed spout.

[@shawnfox8002]

I know all the combines in the past have always had a fixed end spout I just didn't know if the reasoning behind the spout now was to keep any grain contained that may still be in the auger till next unloading. Thanks for the info

[@nelsonoberg9747]

No the adjustable spout won't keep any grain in the auger. What grain is left in the auger is held in by the flighting of the auger. The adjustable spout is kinda like aiming while peeing lol.

[@5thgen916]

@@nelsonoberg9747 It was specifically designed to keep the trickle of grain in once the auger was turned off. That's why it returns to horizontal automatically after the auger button is turned off.

[@nelsonoberg9747]

Right from the Case website :Pivoting Auger Spout Pivoting Auger Spout ​An industry-exclusive pivoting spout allows easier grain cart fill. From the comfort of the cab, the operator can reposition the unloading grain stream with a single button. The unloading spout can be positioned where needed, instead of moving the entire combine. Available option on all Axial-Flow combine models.

[@qh777]

Didn't Case IH release a new model for combines? I'm eager to see those in action.

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes there is a 9250 for model year 2019. They are on demonstration this fall I believe but will be on the market for 2019. I expect to see 8250 and 9250s harvesting wheat in June 2019.

[@muscletractorfan2441]

Uh Welker’s already got an 8250. They did an awesome ride along video on it. In fact Case IH likes it so much they sent Welker a couple hundred dollars worth of books on Case IH history. The 240 combines are old news time to show the 250s or go home.

[@bigtractorpower]

I am pretty sure that the Welkers’ got to try out a 250. I do not believe they bought one. I am pretty sure the 250s are being demonstrated this fall. I have no doubt several farms here in Western Kentucky have 8250 and 9250 combines on order already. They will be a top priority for me to film in June 2019 when they get out in the wheat field.

Just curious, does anyone in the western ky area just do wheat and double crop beans every year and no corn? Not the most ideal rotation but 2 crops a year is nice

May I ask, since they run 16 row 30 inch corn heads, do they use 16 row planters? Or 48? Havent seen many 32 row planters ever actually. Thanks!

[@bigtractorpower]

They use 16 row planters. They used to run a 24 row but moved over to controlled traffic farming keeping each pass on a 40ft pass so they went to high speed 16 rows that cover more ground faster than the 24 row could.
