[@bigtractorpower]

That is impressive. How big was the canola field. It is often difficult to film all of this farms combines in corn because they sit up in the big field and as they harvest smaller field they break into a group of two or three and run at different farms.

[@carlfalt174]

@@bigtractorpower here's the story behind the combines. It was on 1200 acres of rolling property of which a third of it was either cleared of brush in early 2023 or disked down from a pasture/hayfield. It was intreagaging to see those combines with 50 foot cutting heads working some pretty steep slopes. The approximate acres for this operation amounts to 45 000.

for a million dollars it should

[@John-nc4bl]

Thanks Jason for another ecxcellent video. I'd like to see those combines pushing 24 row heads instead of those small 12 row heads for combines with such high capacity.

[@SamMaass-s5h]

The unloading auger would be very long. That would be a lot of weight out there.

[@John-nc4bl]

It depends on the row spacing of the corn. Calmer have had a 32 row cornhead out for several years now for narrow row corn. It is 40 feet wide, so the same width as 40 foot small grain heads. There are KZbin videos about it. Thake a look at the Mike Less video on KZbin of the 62 foot GTS Brazilian head cutting beans on a Fendt ideal 10 combine. It is very impressive and has a massive unloading auger.@@SamMaass-s5h

[@bigtractorpower]

I think we will eventually see 24 row 30 inch corn heads. A head that size means allot of weight and it needs to able to follow the contours of fields. This 2,800 acre field has some decent slopes in it and lots of tile drain mounds. The drone view of the combines is one long upward grade. At the end of the video you see four of the X9s working on the back side of the forks on a good sized slope. The 12 rows follow the ground well. A 24 row will need allot of tilt.

They raise a total of 12,000 acres of corn, 12,000 acres of wheat and 12,000 acres of soybeans double cropped after wheat. Thank you for watching BTP.

[@bryanbaker1000]

My first John Deere combine is a 4400. I bought well used and made a lot of repairs. It wasn't much different from being raised pulling AC 60s and 66s behind a Farmall M, or the work required from the two A 2 Gleaners we had. I've never used a combine younger than I.

[@perrywollam8981]

It’s amazing to me to see a farm that can run that much big equipment. The price of those combines amazes me but their capacity is also. I haven’t farmed since 1980 had to find a different carrier but really would like to know how many hrs they put on a machine in a cropping year can’t imagine it being less than 2000 but should be closer to 3

[@curtmyers6273]

This farmer Mike is friends with and records them alot and they have I believe 11000 acres of corn. They had 7 machines last year and looks like they are now using 5. 5 machines is around 2000 acres per machine so I'm going to guess maybe 1000hrs per machine. That's why Billy trades probably trades every year. I maybe off but I doubt I'm too far off. Our operation will put on about 250hrs on our 690 over 3000 acres we also use a 9870 on beans. We don't use that one on corn unless we need to.

Yeah, 775 hp versus the JDs' 690hp.

No prices for it yet, but guessing it's gonna be at least 3/4 $Million, without a header.

[@bigtractorpower]

There is a great misconception on the cost of food. Some where between the farmer and the bravery store shelf there is a mark up but it’s not at the farm level. A bushel of corn is currently selling for $4.76 when the farner delivers. It costs the farmer about $1.50 bu. To raise the corn with seed cost, fuel, labor, equipment cost. More if there is land rent. A bushel of corn sold for $4.76 will make 45 boxes of corn flakes. The cost of a 12 oz box of Corn Flakes is $6.99. The Miller and the super market have a big mark up. The farmers return is set by the market price determined by trading on an exchange that they have no control over.

They use less fuel then the s series. Some of it has to do with the new engine but they run a little slower engine rpm aswell.
