Extreme Combine Challenge: CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE!

[@daveA2024]

You forgot the most important issue, Cole. You can repair the Case yourself when it breaks. With John Deere, you have to arrange for their engineers to do the work, and you need a second mortgage to pay them for it.

We run four Deere combines, we do all the work on them ourselves, including warranty. It's not "free", you have to subscribe to Deere's Service Advisor program for farmer-technicians. Claiming that you can't service your own Deere equipment is a myth. Yeah, there's some guys that want to stick Shoup and NAPA parts in million dollar machines and have access to all the technical service bulletins, PIP's and service information for free, and they're the ones that got their panties in a bundle. It don't work that way - those are the guys that will turn a $1,000 repair into $20,000 when they screw it up because they don't know what they're doing.

Red, green, purple or lavender. I’d like to tip my hat to all the engineers, designers and other brainiacs who are responsible for these marvels of modern technology. The capabilities of these machines are crazy! They can steer themselves, pick your crop, remove kernels from cobs (or beans from pods), determine the yield, spit & spread trash out the back, etc., etc. All while you are cool & comfy in the cab. And if that weren’t impressive enough, they look pretty cool in drone shots, too! Kudos to anyone who has a hand in designing & creating these fantastic beasts!

I think Cole forgot about all the problems they had the first year with the Case. I also think it is a learning curve for the John Deere and 50 hours isn't that long. After all it took almost 2 years to get the Case dialed in where they liked it. That first year they with the case they had so many problems with break downs and loss. However, the man knows what he likes, you can't fault him for that. Seriously each brand has its own good points and bad points. No one brand is better or worse than the other. I operated Deere, Case, Massey, New Holland they all have their own good and bad points.

[@stoneshrink]

hmm, but maybe you forgot this was the 2nd John Deere combine. Seems to me that's kind of a wash - but if really we want to be honest, that would mean John Deere wasn't even in the game.

Color doesn't matter: Dealer support does. If your dealer will go an extra mile, then you buy the color they sell. A true comparison would have nearly identical size machines run by operator's with near equal experience in the same field. Not knowing what the seat controls are in both machines is a clue that you aren't familiar with them, so other controls may be strange, hence hard to compare. Great video, though! And your commentary is hilarious! Loved it!

For the case funnels, just press on them and set the sensitivity. You'd change the sensitivity per the crop you're doing and possibly even conditions you're in. That scales what it shows you per the colors.

Also would have been nice to see fuel consumption between the Case & Deer, unless I missed it. Maybe do a Gleaner next year since 2023 is its 100th Anniversary. Also the new larger Cases come with a different monitor & also have new Auto Control settings for Adjusting settings, most agree that using auto control on the 9250 is equal to or better then the most experienced operator.

Well I think you should try other ones too. Like for example Claas. Those are incredibly popular here in Europe. Or New Holland for instance. Those are fine too. Once you stared reviewing combines in my opinion you should keep doing that. People will watch that gladly. And now I am curious how would a Gleaner look in comparision to the red one. Those look to be really simple and I think they are priced very well based on their simplicity and unique design.

[@tjmfarming9584]

Oh Ho, talking about those grey ones are we? I’ve learned from experience going from an older case to a gleaner. I’ve never run corn with it, because it’s only ever cut Wheat, Barley, lupins and oats, but it’s definitely not standing a chance against the case 1. The feeder house is oddly small and offset compared to other combines, making compatibility with header fronts difficult 2. In order to work on the combine you need to open out the auger just to get to the covers and access points to the separators sivs and concave, plus you’d spend a lot longer opening up the ladder and lifting up the engine bay roof on the gleaner than you would for any other combine ever, the Deere in that regard is much much faster. Case hands down wins in my opinion

[@MarcinRC6070]

@@tjmfarming9584 I never had a chance to even laid my eyes on one of them gleaners since they are not available here in Europe but I saw one on youtube the other day and I immediatly noticed the odd feeder house.

And I am a bit concerned about the overall quality of the combine. Those are AGCO products and seeing how terrible are those new Ideals I can't imagine that AGCO is using better metals and components in Gleaner. I might be wrong tho! Like I said: Never touched and never run one of those. But honestly I would love to try and at least take a closer peak at them

You grew up with the Case/IH. It’s what you are used to. That’s normal. Speed of unfolding corn head would not matter. Most fields have one cycle. If you had to fold to unload. Then it would matter (10’ unload auger) I remember under 400 bu per hour. Dad thought I drove too fast. (It was close)

Some of these comparisons are a little unfair. However I still like how much time and effort you put into this. Great video!

I think that the ag leader shouldve been left out because it wasnt a factory option. And you are able to lift the spreader on the back up with one of those buttons on the side to get at the sieves

Correct the Ag Leader foot pedal extra movement by attaching (gluing) a piece of plastic office desk mating to it. The mating will work better if its made for carpet use and has the long pointie things on the bottom, Would suggest making it 4 or 5 inches either side larger than foot pedal so pedal cannot turn over.

I worked for a case ih dealer and moved a lot of both of them and the case is more operated friendly over the John Deere and the back ladder is definitely a pain and a finger getter and I’m a big fan of of the tracks for loading and unloading on a detach in rain or snow and even ice but ice is scarier in its self

That button on the seat @ the 7:43 mark, I believe is the isolator. It let's the seat glide back and for a few inches so you don't get that back slap when you hit a bump or dip. Unlock it next time you drive the machine and you like it for what it does to save your back.

This is a good video although a lot of it is subjective plus the year difference plays a big part.

Add some Grab Hands or Steps to get on the combine without killing yourself.😊🎉 It's Simple, trucks have the D shaped folding steps. Make a plate with threaded holes for reinforcement behind the sheet metal.

That whole entire back spreader lifts up to give access to the back of the combine

Great job on the review of the 2 giants. But.... you didn't mention the following 1. Muddy fields. Every farmer has had that struggle. 2. Transporting. Who had not met a semi or vehicles on a narrow road. So with those 2 important issues, who would win? Keep the videos coming👍

Cole, excellent comparison between the combines.

Just a note. You can customize the funnles on your screen to your preferences by adjusting the sensitivity settings. Tap the little box on the left side of each funnel to make adjustments.

The work that Cooper did on Case IH not ever body can . Where would you be with out Cooper last year . Renting a machine next ? At a hell price per hour next ?

[@Xiimen]

Im not a farmer! But i like just watching machines run around being cool. So i think its a good video!

[@clodhopper946]

being a farmer is being a gambler,,you have three strikes against you from the start,,,, The weather,,, the economy,,,,,, the government,,,, and bad luck,,,,

[@monsierlemaire8282]

Wow, what a detailed review!

[@bonniehyden962]

Project for Cooper & Crew: Frankenstein the perfect combine! ...I bet they could start their own company! 🤔 ...paint 'em pink. "What you runnin' on your farm, Joe? Red or Green?" ....."I don't run nothin' but Pink on my farm! I've got the Cooper-Co Deluxe!" 😁

[@farmerjer9339]

Well guess I'm changing my plans. Looks like I'm watching the Cornstars get stuff done instead. Edit: Well maybe not getting stuff done, but I did work the brain muscle quite a bit! ...ever thought of becoming a teacher Cole?

WE LOVE YOU CORN THE COLESTAR!
