CANADIAN FARMER - BIG GUNS - HUGE Geringhoff 16 row corn head on a MONSTER Claas Lexion 8700 combine

[@jeffb321]

We had a neighbor with an 18 row corn head, but it was on 20" centers! I've never seen a 16 row, 30" centers in person. I'm sure it's a sight to see!

[@farmerdrone]

Yes, it's great to be around this big equipment!

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Great video! First time I've seen your channel. I will be watching it more! The Claus combines seem to be gaining popularity. From what I understand, they are a good combine. I've had the opportunity to see the Case AF11 in the field with a 50' grain head. That thing is a beast!! This grain cart is insane! Seeing all the round bales there, they must run quite a few cattle too.

[@farmerdrone]

The Claas is a great machine. Powerful yet very fuel efficient. They are expensive here in Canada .. The round bales were actually on a neighbours field ..

[@thegeneral1100]

My son-in-law designed and patented the “Split-Flex” corn head now being sold by Geringhoff. His corn head is 24 row 30” centers corn head. He can shell 20 acres per hour with just this combine. When he runs it along with his 16 row “Split-Flex” head it take at least six semi’s to keep him going depending on how far they are from the elevator. It’s amazing to watch.

[@farmerdrone]

great post and information .. thanks ...

[@Agriculturespotter]

What a great machines there in the field!

[@dennislaughton1676]

First time on this channel. Born on a farm in Ont. Guelph grad, ended up doing regulatory research in Western Canada. It's the fall colors that make me home sick.

[@farmerdrone]

Hi Dennis ... well, I was born in the west and dumped off in Ontario as a 19yr old. Have spent over 50 years in Renfrew County west of Ottawa where the fall colours can't get any better! Before I concentrated on farm videos, I filmed outdoor stuff .. water and fall colours. etc. You may want to check out that part of my channel ... thanks .. Les ..

[@AgriTechInsights737]

Our neighbor had an 18-row corn head, but it was set to 20-inch centers! I've never seen a 16-row with 30-inch centers in person, but I bet it's quite a sight!

[@farmerdrone]

yes .. great to see and film ..

[@todds4101]

New subscriber here!!! EXCELLENT video quality!! I just encountered your channel a few minutes ago. First time I've seen your work. I've been watching tractor/combine videos for years. Enjoying your content. Keep up the great work!!!

[@farmerdrone]

Hi Todd! and welcome to the channel. Really appreciate you taking the time to write in. Thanks for subscribing! and .. "May the Sun always shine on your crops!" ....

[@martinl.5072]

Funny ... in Germany more an more Farmers use the canadian MacDon Flexdraper for Grain harvest, an in Canada they use the german Geringhoff for Corn Harvest 🙂

[@farmerdrone]

🤣🤣you're absolutely right!! but MacDon is very popular here as well ...

[@tianyi05]

Key question is what are the yields? My brother in law has been running over 280 bushel per acre , best fields over 320. Only so much you can push through the thresher. If he ran 16 rows he'd have to drive at 2.5 mph or choke the combine. 410 bu. hopper wouldn't make it half way across a quarter section.

[@farmerdrone]

Thanks for the great question.. I didn't get the numbers for this field. I did film one a couple days earlier and it was harvesting at 270 bu/ac..

[@davidsignor7931]

That grain cart is amazing

[@farmerdrone]

ya .. it is ! love to be around it!!

[@blermule8692]

Nice video👌! It's really impressive how large the areas are there! By the way, I live not far from the Claas headquarters in Harsewinkel. Greetings from Germany!

[@farmerdrone]

Greetings to you and all my German followers! Claas is an amazing machine. Powerful and fuel efficient ...

[@BRPFan]

Nice video! Those LSW tires are real good tires, way better than tracks in my opinion! Those Load King grain trailers are made in Winkler, Manitoba, 7 miles from our place!

[@farmerdrone]

NICE town .. Winkler ..! thanks for the Load Kings!

[@BRPFan]

@ You been to Winkler? Load King makes quality trailer that’s for sure from flat decks to grain trailer and ect…

[@farmerdrone]

yes ... I was in Winkler ... many decades ago ...

[@BRPFan]

@ OK, it’s a City now! It has really grown a lot since You were there last!

[@raass233]

One thing about it, no other YT farming video has as many PoV camera angles used per second.

[@farmerdrone]

I try and shoot every action from at least 4 angles ... in multiple angles the air, alongside the equipment, in the combine and in the forage wagon tractor. I also hang GoPros on the equipment, heads and on the back of equipment.. Keeps you from being bored. downside ... it takes 30-40 hours post production time to make a 12 minute video!!

[@donvoll2580]

Good dy from Kit-Waterloo area Ont.. Boy I didn;t know they could grow corn there? The wagon carrying header is made down here in Elmira Ths

[@farmerdrone]

Hi Don ... yes, lots of 🌽. thanks for the trailer info.....

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video

[@farmerdrone]

Thanks Kevin .... very much ...

[@Eddie_Schantz]

Thanks for a great video and some awesome equipment. Something I have never saw before is the large round flashing light on top of the combine. What is that all about?

[@farmerdrone]

@Eddie_Schantz when the grain bin on the combine is approaching full, it signals the operator of the tractor/grain cart to pull up so the combine can unload...

[@Eddie_Schantz]

@@farmerdrone If that is the case, then this one has a malfuntion becasue it is flashing even on an empty bin.

[@farmerdrone]

Don't know... could be manually controlled from the cab as well ... someone else will probably add to this post...

[@gerhardma4297]

And there's always that one smartass who knows everything better, even though you only see the harvest from one field.

[@yorfofpv1552]

[@pierremarcoux9465]

Excellent video! Is the grain cart track powered? Probably not, but it would certainly assist the tractor if so.

[@farmerdrone]

No... it's towed. The HP required is 500HP and above!!

Awesome drone footage

[@farmerdrone]

I used to do all my videos with drones only and synced to music but I have found more success by adding ground GoPro video and audio as well .. then I can use the audio from the GoPro for the drone too... most of my videos now are 3-5 flights and GoPro video all superimposed over top of each other resulting in what appears to be one flight ...

[@farmerdrone]

perhaps you may want to dig into my complete channel. There are 200 drone videos from different places in the world ....

Ótimo vídeo, um abraço do Brasil

[@farmerdrone]

Olá Brasil.. bem vindo ao canal. Obrigado pelo seu comentário e fique conosco para mais vídeos!

[@csil2863]

What is flashing light on the back top of the combine?

[@farmerdrone]

@csil2863 the flashing light comes on automatically when the grain hooper is nearing full. It signals the grain cart to come and allow the combine to unload.

[@Farmerknowsbest]

I can see why they went to the 16 row. I can't keep the 8700 full with a 12 row even in 300bpa corn.

[@farmerdrone]

yes, for sure .... the 8700 can get a speeding ticket and harvest at the same time!

Your Translation into German isn't very good, some is false. But i like your Video, big machines are doing excellent work

[@farmerdrone]

Hi Frank .. thanks for the heads up. I use Google Translate. KZbin allows 5,000 characters in the video description, so I use about 400 to describe the video then Translate into the top 10 languages that follow me. German is the #1 non English language that follows me. I'll have to look around to see if I can find something better. Thanks 😊

[@FrankTiedemann-q7p]

@farmerdrone okay,my english also isn't perfekt, leaving school was in 1982. Thanks and have a nice time

[@JamesWest-iu4jx]

Kinda looks like over kill for a 20ac garden.

[@farmerdrone]

In this part of Ontario, the farm land diminishes in size as the forests increase. This crew travels a radius of 80km from home base and harvests 8,200 acres. On a good day, they probably harvest 20ac. per hour! I am preparing video of several more of their harvests. Great crew!

[@daveyhofer7926]

Big wagon ,only one combine ,effective efficiency ?. No.

[@farmerdrone]

this cash cropper farms over 8,000 acres! many fields in this part of the province are small and irregular. They have other equipment working other fields and team up in the big fields ...
