Case really knocked it out of the park with this machine. It’s just to bad it hit the market when it did as I am sure many operations will have a hard time getting this to pencil out for them right now. That light package is also amazing it’s like a football stadium on tracks!

[@rongrose3746]

For sure

[@perrywollam8981]

The difference 40 years of technology can make is amazing. Last combine I operated was a 1460. In 1981. Cousins that are still farming have. 8120&8230. Grow corn rice soybeans and Milo

[@FarmGearInnovators]

Wow, the AF10 combine is a beast! 775 horsepower and a 16-row corn head-it's amazing how much more capacity this machine has compared to previous models. Definitely setting a new standard for efficiency and grain quality! 🤩🤩🤩

[@kevinpaul627]

Awesome job Jason….. Awesome job of narration Brandon… Awesome machine… Thanks for sharing !👍👍😎🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@bigtractorpower]

The AF10 is an impressive harvesting machine.

[@John-nc4bl]

As always Jason, thanks for excellent videos and I have been a subscriber for a long time. I like the idea of dumping on the go into a semi instead of into a cart. Less grain augering without a cart means less fines in the grain, less manpower required, less fuel used, less wear on machinery and higher profits. With a semi pulling a 40 foot trailer there would be approximately 500 bu or 15 tons on the 8 back wheels of the trailer. On the twin drive axles of the semi a fair distance forward of the rear wheels of the trailer, there would be roughly the same weight on these 8 wheels. With your average 1000 bu or 30 ton cart there are only 2 wheels to carry this load. 2 tracks compact a larger area and are more expensive to maintain than wheels. Green chopped corn forage silage is heavy and it is loaded into semis. Potatoes, sugar beet and various vegetable crops are unloaded on the go from the harvesters directly into semis. Check out this video of wheat harvesting and unloading directly into a semi trailer. 2024 crop report - box elder.

[@T.WorkingMachinesTV93]

Look, how easy it is to complete this harvesting work... I feel so happy to witness it

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

That is an impressive combine. The Walkers used AF10 this year. Nick was combining wheat at 10 miles per hour. Awesome machine. 71,000 bushel of corn in one day with two machines. WOW

[@grimreeper70]

It was the AF11 that they were using. He was talking about the big twin rotors.

[@markely3131]

Welkers

[@aidencrawford3487]

Claas did more than that with an 8600. One 8600

[@georgeroberts1169]

I'm sorry, but the math don't add up. At 4.7mph, 40' at 80% field efficiency does add up to 18.3 acres per hr. At 6500 bu. Per hour that's 361bu. Per acre, wet corn, OK maybe??? But..... 10 hrs. Per day that's 65,000 bu. for 1 machine, let alone 2. If he had said 100,000+bu. per day, then that's more like it. Never the less, it's a beast of a machine.

[@Zero01k]

Not to sound insulting, but the Welkers crop yields, to most of the wheat growing world, are a lot lower yield per acre that most of the rest, it's not all that impressive to go through a crop that fast that's only yielding on average 20 bu/ac. This is not a jab at them, their ground can only do so much, they most likely will never push a huge machine to it's limit most of the time, hence why they use a class 8 horsepower size. They really don't need much bigger with how their crops yield. And most if us don't have fields flat enough to run a combine 10 mph, so once again, not that impressed really.

[@electriceye3942]

The capacity of these modern combines is amazing.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Love the channel. I believe the type of combine is an Axial flow vs axel flow. It’s “Axi-al” might be your accent. The axial flow certainly is a game changer. Awesome when you have a 2 row, then a 16 row the next video. Welker farms just harvested wheat using an AF11. Monster.

[@icenbryse5190]

In 1977, after extensive engineering efforts and a bottom up design, IH released the 1440 and 1460 models of rotary harvester. In 1978, the larger model 1480 was released, as well as the specialty models 1470 (for hillside operation), and the 1482, designed to be pulled behind a tractor with PTO capability.

[@garylam6233]

Love hearing farmers perspective on real time operations for production and reliability +@ - of old compared to newer implements !! Seeing the loading and unloading is amazing with the cart maintaining same speed as combine . Do they have computers with on screen displays that regulate speed and distance or is this a manually regulated system . Thanks for sharing

[@craigsibley8161]

Awesome combine 👍👍👍 Cool night time shots at the end...

That's an amazing and monstrous machine, I love watching the new technology coming out. Awesome video and informational, well done.

[@Blackwellll3066]

pretty nice combine to have....

[@ScottPykare]

Really awesome machine right there. Hearing from the farmer and his thoughts is great. I'm sure you'll film many more Jason and AF11's as well. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!! 👌🏻 😊

[@2020Tundra]

Very impressive young farmer 👍 Seems very knowledgeable and really explains the combine’s operation so well. Thanks for sharing. Love those big new Case IH AF combines. Hope you can find the flagship AF11 real soon!! The Welkers had an AF11 demo and they were blown away by its ability.

[@JD-oh9vz]

He should be able to explain the combine. Brandon Hunt, grandpa and dad own one of the largest Case IH dealerships in the Country, H and R Agri-power . Farming is their hobby as well as tractor pulling.

[@dylanlutz8045]

Thanks BTP! I love when you start with harvest videos!

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a great time of year.

[@John-nc4bl]

Since the tractor and combine can synchronize their speeds when unloading on the go, I think that with GPS; it would also be a helpful idea if the spout on the end of the auger could track the centerline of the cart or truck when unloading on the go.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Oh yeah looks great 👍. We’re hoping to start beans next week.

[@tiery32]

this is the best In France olso

[@sergiomarin1793]

What an impressive machine, it knocks corn like it's not even there

[@404nitro]

That is an impressive combine. Is this the largest on the market currently, or does someone else make an equally large/powerful machine right at the moment? The farmer was very interesting to listen to. Can you get this new machine on tires as well, or is it only available on tracks?

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s the largest grain tank at 567 bu. The Claas 8900 is number two at 510 bu and the Fendt 10 is 3rd with 485 bu. Horse power wise the Claas 8900 and Fendt 10 are tied at 790 hp. The Case IH AF 11 and AF10 are tied at 3rd with 775 hp.

Jason is this the same farm that you showed last fall were you done the live in the no fly zone hope you get to come to the farm science review in Ohio

[@bigtractorpower]

Same farm and the same field from last fall. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the Ohio farm science review. Great show. I hope to go some day.

[@jamesgallia0147]

I'm guessing the af11 is twin rotor

[@bigtractorpower]

The AF11 has two rotors. The AF10 and AF11 have the same specs other than the rotors.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy ya'll, If ya'll like the AF10, just wait till ya'll demo a AF11..

[@cz_ww2117]

Is that the same one that Welker Farms was testing?

[@freebooter247]

No Welker had the AF11

Regardless of bushels... I'm sorry...it's how many acres you can cover in a day! 100 bushel corn...300 bushel corn... It's acres you have to cover!!!!

[@jaybauer5619]

4 mph all day long!!!!!!

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Was aware of the twin rotor AF 11 combine, but had no idea that an AF 10 model also existed - when was that introduced ? Also, as a single roto machine, presumeably the AF 10 combine has a narrower body than the AF 11 model ? In regard to rotor stats, what is the diameter and length of the AF 11 combine rotors, compared to the AF 10 model ? One would assume that to gain even more harvesting capacity, an increase of rotor diameter would be the most cost effective way to do this, whilst still remaining within overall machine body width restrictions - an AF 12 model being a potentially even higher capacity machine without having to spend obscene amounts of money on developing a brand new platform ?

[@joshwells6448]

Af 10 rotor is 30x 144.5” with 180 degree of concave wrap af 11 is 24x141” with 140 degrees of wrap I believe they are identical in every over way same width, hp grain tank ex. I think the 10 will keep up in crops where grain damage is a big concern like corn and especially beans might even out do 11 but 11 will have more capacity in grains

[@markisb3585]

They also have an Af 9

[@jamesbarbour8400]

@@markisb3585 Didn't know that either - when was that introduced or is it still undergoing prototype trials ? Any details of its stats ?

Awesome combine Jason. I think the AF10 will be a big seller! I wonder if this farm will be ordering the AF10 in the future and if they might be a candidate for a 715 Quadtrac Steiger? Great video!

The AF11 has the same horse power as the AF10 at 775.

[@Embracedw]

250bu average is normal in US?

[@matthewtaliaferro]

Yes. If you take pride in taking care of corn, it can yield up to 400 bushels

[@Farmer_Bill]

Why was the rear axle hopping?

[@bigtractorpower]

It has been very dry here. The ground is bone dry and has no give. It was nearly 100 degrees the day this was filmed. The farm strip tills which ridges the rows a bit and the tires are going over the furrow. There had not been rain for nearly a month with high heat.

@@bigtractorpower thanks I appreciate the reply

Are you talking just international version of the rotor. I think if I maybe right did not white come out with a rotor model before international

So the AF10 is a single rotor and the AF11 is a dual rotor ... Interesting, i didn't know there was a choice.

The AF10 was just introduced on 8/29/24. It is brand new. There is also an AF9.

that engine is as big as the 715 four track and has the DEF on it the 715 four track has no DEF or am i wrong

The quad has def.

[@jeeveswooster6922]

Crazy to think this isn’t even the biggest model!

[@bigtractorpower]

The AF10s horse power and grain bin is the same as the AF11. The only difference is a single rotor vs. two rotors in the AF11.

[@John-nc4bl]

@@bigtractorpower It takes more power to drive two counterrotating rotors than a single rotor since the two rotors are trying to pull the crop away from each other.
