CLAAS 16 Row Corn Head

In this video Big Tractor Power spends time out in the field with two CLAAS Lexion 760 TT Combines equipped with 16 row corn heads. These 543 hp 385 bu. class 9 combines each process 5,000 bu. of corn per hour each. Watch these combines clear off 40ft of corn per pass while unloading on the go at 3.8 bushels per second with Challenger MT800 Series Tractors and Kinze 1050 Grain Carts.

Listening to the rep in the cab was INCREDIBLE. he knew his stuff inside and out. Loved the description of the tracks and how they want to pivot up to get out of the mud unlike competitors . Very very impressed with his knowledge.

[@dylanlutz8045]

I love these big corn shelling machines thank BTP!

[@herbhouston5378]

Nice video! I think it's interesting, to me anyway, about how things have changed since I was a kid (I'm 76)... When I first picked corn I used a New Idea 2 row and conveyed the ears in a trailing wagon... Use to open fields with a team of mules and a old wagon on wooden wheels... The corn was all stored on the farm in either wood cribs or round wire ones... Fed to hogs as ear corn and taken to the mill to grind corncob meal, unless you had your own grinder... I would use an old hand crank , cast iron sheller if I needed just the kernels only... Loaded the sheller one ear at a time... But ya didn't need anything big back in the day... a man could make a pretty livin' on a hundred acre farm for him and his family... I never saw a combine run corn till 1982... Just curious...how many acres of corn do they have and is it all hauled to the mill or do they store some on site... and how many bushels do they anticipate?

[@michics100]

I'm just a handful of years behind you and what you described is exactly my experience as well. However I did operate combines in the 70's when I went to work for a custom farm operator.

[@888HUSKERS]

So cool to see all of that CLAAS Lexion and Agco Challenge tractor power. The shot at the end of the video with the CLAAS Lexion combine, White tractor, and gravity cart was a real treat to see. I bet that tractor was having to go really fast to try and keep up with the output of that CLAAS Lexion combine.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 2-155 with the 750 Lexion was a cool day in the field.

[@stever411]

Really like the colors on these Lexion’s versus the newer green/white. Nice set-up as well with all of the tracked equipment! 👍🏻

[@bigtractorpower]

These are nice machines. I filmed a new green 8600 TT right after these 760 TTs. The new 8600 with a 510 bu bin moves a bunch of corn.

That’s one of the best videos I’ve seen, the opening few seconds would make a perfect picture for a calendar. There’s not a domestic made combine that can run with them. The new John Deere will be close but damn that’s impressive, thanks Jason.😎

[@DeathHead1358]

I don't know, I've heard that the X9 was having a lot of teething problems when they started running demo units. Mike Mitchell was supposed to get one for a demo, but Deere pulled the plug on that. I don't think the X9 will have a chance against the Fendt 9t or the Class 8900.

[@Bartjebart2]

@@DeathHead1358 The X9 is spec'd to be able to handle 7000 bu/hr in corn. So in theory it should be able to crush the performance we see in this video. Don't know if it'll actually do it. Haven't read anything about the Claas 8900 capacity in bu/hr in corn.

[@samskeeter1]

NH 10:90 has record for wheat and has been the case for several years. I always understood they are made in Nebraska, That record is official too through Guiness book of records. There doesn't appear to be anything official for corn.

Nice!!! The first video sequence when both combines unloads simultaneously in parallel looks almost a bit arranged ;)

That’s how they run. They had two different varieties so each combine was harvesting a variety. Toward the end you can see them running past me on both sides. It’s neat to see.

[@bradolsen9981]

Hello Mr. excitement

[@lfeco]

Wow, there's alot of corn going into those combines. I don't think an 8" auger out of a bin would fill the hoppers as fast as the combine does.

[@bigtractorpower]

[@maxpower9499]

Yup, 5,000 bushel an hour would beat our 8 inch bin augers. Our 8 inch bin augers do about 2400 bushel an hour.

[@bubbawubba2307]

Always loved those big CLAAS combines in corn. Wish I was riding in those with those big 16 row heads and watching the corn pour into the bin. Ever since I was a kid I've always loved watching corn or any other crop going into the bin. The more product going in the better it looks. lol
