2019 Illinois Corn Harvest with On Track Farming Inc

Corn harvest video from Central Illinois as I spend some time in the field with On Track Farming Inc as they harvest the 2019 corn crop with their two new Claas Lexion 8800 combines with 16 row Gerringhoff corn heads. Also in the field they are running 3 different tractors and grain carts to get the corn from the field to the trucks.
The tractors and carts are
Challenger 1050 tractor pulling a Blazer 2000 grain cart
Challenger MT 743 tractor pulling a Kinze 1050 grain cart
Cat Challenger MT 865 tractor pulling a Kinze 1500 grain cart
In this video they are working in two different fields.

*Mike, you nailed it perfectly. That's how you kickstart a field.*

Claas ist the best Harvester! i have a Lexion 420. old and small. but i am very proud to have it.

[@michaelstark703]

I like both the idea of combines pulling their own heads on trailers themselves, and the folding corn heads. Saves another vehicle trip, and person.

[@johnlott143]

American farmers are simply great.City boy knows where our backbone is of this great Republic when I watch these videos I see an American miracle.

[@jimpetersen8900]

I can't believe somebody would tell you you don't know what you're talkin about you're the man!

[@markreetz1001]

The Challenger & Balzar 2000 grain cart look like toys--until they pull up to a combine or a semi. Great Video, Mike.

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike - Great video. I'm a retired Pastor, living in Davenport, IA. Most of my extended family growing up were farmers (I was pretty much a city kid). My experience on the farm was in the summer when I drove Mom nuts, and she sent me for a couple of weeks to an aunt or uncle's farm to run off my excess energy. I enjoyed watching this harvest video. The overhead shots were great, and your explanation of the hand off between the combines made complete sense to me. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family as you prepare for another season of growing to feed America and the world.

[@brianelifritz4806]

Mike you got it exactly right. That's the way you open up a field

[@karllangner1579]

I,m an old sheep farmer from South Afrika and U explained every thing in an exellent way.

[@Michael-ox9xz]

[@franklinneely3006]

[@justicek4527]

Fantastic video. It is like watching a documentary on national geographic channel. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@kenhoff1820]

Echoing previous comments: top notch videography and use of drone. It is what separates you from others.

[@spike-rf6mi]

Just another great video to enjoy thanks Farmhand Mike

[@lovejcdc]

What a great video Mike! I think that's probably the best complete setup of equipment I've seen in a field. Awesome

[@randallmidgley7589]

Great video Mike, those Claas are powerful machines, handling those corn heads with ease, you can almost feel the ground move🌽😁😎

[@craigsimon935]

Very nice set of equipment. Also a great mix of overhead drone and on the ground shots.

[@steveminer8341]

Big time corn harvesting, that's for sure. Great video, Mike.

[@bighorn66]

Great Video Mike !! Thought yo excplained everything very well my 8 year old grandson understood it the WAY YOU TOLD IT !!

[@snotrocket1923]

Mike, I agree with you on the CLAAS colour package. Looks Great!

[@MrKaba1985]

The yellow claas you can buy before until the 700 series is about the CAT Company that was in an partnership with claas until 2003. claas take the color paying cat for it and now all farmers in the us would now that are the good German Combines with the new Series from 2020 7000 and 8000 they decide it's time to make a point and let the Combines in the same color like the tractors are over years

[@kennethgreen2829]

Hi Mike. Great to see how things are done over the pond in the USA. Here in the UK we say Class, as in School class, even the dealers pronounce it that way.. Keep up the great work fella.

[@alexthomson719]

Thank you for some great video coverage. With the occasional narration and “none” of the annoying background music that most people put in their videos. Just pure clean farm videos. 👍

[@eraaspr1]

Thanks for a beautiful video. I'm very thankful for explanations. I've not been raised on a farm but have had a big passion for farming ever since I got my first toy tractors. I appreciate all of your farming videos because I couldn't be able to see something like this otherwise.

[@MrEst1953]

Your videos are very interesting, please keep them coming

[@ryanschweikhardt]

Awesome camera angles! Good job 👍🏻

[@garyfaulds2008]

Another great video Mike. I would like to wish you an your family a very merry Christmas and a Happy New. 🇨🇦🎅👍 ps, hoping you are coming back to Ontario Canada to make more videos.

[@captaindee6130]

"Rhymes with Boss" -- according to Claas of America advertisements. I'm pretty sure they know how to properly pronounce it. Great video, great machines.

[@mikesouder6419]

beautiful field

[@samson1200]

Another great video Mike! Love the drone footage you shot.Gives us a much better perspective of the size of the field they are chomping on lol. I guess the Claas Combines sure got rid of that ol Deere and ran him right out of the field lol, I am curious about the header reels. They seem more like a decoration for the combine but I understand they push the stalks over a bit but curious how the hell they pick up downed stalks in a field?

[@randywilson7740]

You said it very well thanks

[@farmtoycollector998]

Awesome video! I like the new green color combines. I have always pronounced Claas as class.

[@conchitavillaflor2015]

Wow too clever machine, Amazing

[@bubbawubba2307]

2nd time watching this. Just as good as the first time. I like the new color scheme except for the red rims

[@brentfarrow8125]

Now that’s eating up some acres quickly nice video thanks Mike😎 and side note you do know what you are talking about 👍

[@ronaldboake7574]

Impressive machines

[@moisesalmeida7372]

MIKE,YOURS VIDEO IS GREAT. CONGRATULATIONS! ( I am from Brazil)

[@xxxtexanpa]

Thanks for not adding that annoying music in the background. I watch the entire video and if there was background music, I would have to stop it and then miss the farm noise which I want to hear. Thanks for these videos.

[@onealfarms9967]

Great video mike

[@kevinklingner3098]

I like claas headers and always have. That colour paint us close to the original stieger colours. And it's a great colourlikke all the greens.

[@kevinmitchell5739]

Very enjoyable Videos

[@demeatricewarren4065]

That claas right there can go boy

[@xxxtexanpa]

LOL Yes, that deer that was startled definitely was named "John". Thanks for the levity.

[@CS-Benji2020]

The harvesters are just like the ones Farming Simulator 19 has.

[@srgxor]

Hey Mike, great video! :) We spell it class in Germany. All the best mate.
