JOHN DEERE S790 on Tracks HARVESTING CORN

In this video Big Tractor Power spends time out in the field with two 543 hp 400 bu. JOHN DEERE S790 Combines equipped with tracks. Watch these combines clear off 30ft of corn per pass while unloading on the go at 3.8 bushels per second with 520 hp John Deere 9520RX Tractors and 1,500 bu Brent 1596 Grain Carts. This video shares the S790 combine and 712C Corn heads production history, specifications, price tag and takes viewers for a ride in the combines' cab.

These new combines are works of art for comfort, efficiency, and crop throughput in difficult conditions. Growing up on a dairy farm in the 60's, 70's, and 80's we had an International 403 gasoline combine. Moved so slow by today's standards, it's laughable. Everything was manually adjusted. It worked very well for our farm, of course, we did not have near the acres to cover, but it served us for almost 25 years before my parents retired. Dad knew every inch of that combine and it was impeccably maintained.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for sharing. The 403 was a big combine in its day.

@ 10:17 I like how the farmer says he’s not as savvy with technology like young bucks, but I just wanted to add that he may not be but I guarantee he possesses a wealth of knowledge and knows his trade very well. So much respect to the farmers out there not only for what they do, but for their KNOWLEDGE !

[@bigtractorpower]

Joe Neal is a hood farmer for sure.

[@anthonybanda8192]

Tracks are the way to go in my opinion. We run them on almost every piece of equipment. The ride is better traction is great but the reduced compaction is the best part . By running tracks we have almost eliminated all heavy tillage and increased yields. We now only have to till before planting wheat into standing corn stalks and then we only do vertical tillage on the first inch of soil to size up the residue. This fall has been very wet here in southern Michigan . Its so wet that the only crop being ran is mostly corn and then not many farms are going due to mudd and standing water. We are very behind on beans compared to corn . We had 3 inches of rain between yesterday and today and tomorrow we will be running corn while everyone else is sitting because we run tracks . Not many people run tracks but every year more farms are switching to them . Great video keep up the good work !

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching and sharing. A wet harvest is tough. Tracks make a difference.

Maybe it is just the auto guidance/steer system, but starting at around the 5:47 mark, there appears to be something worn or going out on the rear steer axle. If you watch, you can see it chattering back and forth like it has badly worn axle pivot bearings. You can see it at other times throughout the video too. Surely that is just the auto steer?

That drone shot at the end is really good. From what I’ve seen in your videos those Kentucky farmers are starting to catch up with us in the yield department. They still have a ways to go but they grow some pretty good corn. I think there 3rd crop makes up for the yield difference.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@farmboy5622]

Seems like the combines need to spread out a little, to stay away from each other's dust, so the air filters don't get plugged up so fast. Running so close also makes the tractor on the grain cart run through more dust and plugging its air filter.

[@bigtractorpower]

They blow of the combines each move during the day and service the machines each morning. They mitigate the dust as much as possible. By running the combines in the same section they utilize the grain carts efficiently. Well one cart is handling the combines, one cart is in transit from the trucks a d one cart is filling a truck.

[@pstrass6353]

[@bigtractorpower]

[@hvapt]

Jason, thanks for a great video! It's quite well known with-in engineering that tracks has higher internal friction as it has so many more mowing parts and support wheels which are in direct contact with the belt continously. But also the total lenght of the track and the larger ground contact surface itself of the tracks draws more energy (more friction i.e better traction) vs a wheel which obviously has lower friction and traction but higher ground pressure. I would like to hear more from the gentleman in the cab about how big family farms thinks and plans around larger machine investments as these 3 S790 combines. Fimancing/leasing?, ROI time, replacement pace, service and repair cost vs running old machines? Do they calculate and know the newer models will increase yield or capacity and uptime? How "digital" are they about their machine choises and investments?

[@bigtractorpower]

Good questions. My plan is to do a machine tour with Joe Neal this winter. They keep the majority of their equipment in a 120x300 building. That would be a good video to talk about those questions in.
