Great video, thanks for making 👍🏽

[@BTurner.]

Fascinating about the J.D.’s but it seems a lot of faff when you already have an operator in the tractor and wouldn’t the combine operator be better off concentrating on what’s feeding into the header rather than controlling the tractor?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

The feeding into the combine is done automatically as well. Crop through put is constantly changing depending on the volume going in.

[@BTurner.]

@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard yes but I was riding in my mates Lexion 650 on Thursday combining osr and he had to sometimes stop and start to avoid blocking it up.

[@RussellLister-gu8yf]

I am a New Holland man through and through, but sadly the John has impressed me. It would be nice to hear your views after you being a farmer who has had New Holland combines for over 40 years.

[@Agrovasco]

Can only speak on whats happening here in North Spain. Last even we went to they basically made it seem like they heavily focusing on tractors and trying to compete with the best. They came to an area where most people have Deere and Fendt tractors and New Holland combines, and didnt mention anything about their combines aside from field view or yield monitors(which is something crazy to brag about in 2023). So everyone is either going to buy Claas or Deere combines in the future. Also service is kind of.... Id take Deere or Fendt service any and every day

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Good combine, tech is amazing but output slightly down compared to our NH which is 60hp more

[@leecurry14]

Thanks for taking the time to create these vlogs Andrew, still think that NH is a lovely combine earning her keep with hardly any depreciation compared to a new one, technology is amazing but sadly I think it's more and more leading to driverless machinery, and personally I don't think you can beat a good operator sat in the seat 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔 daily vlogs this week again hopefully 🤣🤣🤣 hammer down and get that harvest home chaps 🤞🤞🤞😎😎 just a curious question ⁉️ do Ruben and Tom mind being on camera, and would they ever talk about things on camera like yourself? Just be interesting to see a different side of things 👍 brilliant vlog again Andrew Cheers Lee

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Thanks Lee. Tom is fine being filmed Reuben a bit more camera shy! Our NH is a very good combine with decent outputs. We had the engine ‘derv doctored’ about 4/5 years ago and put in another 40 hp, Transformed the combine.

[@rossduffy9999]

Think JD are trying to win you great video

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@SH-pg1wo]

Much enjoyed. I remember stuffing an old Claas Matador full of a wet soggy corner - a long time ago. Took me 6 hours to unclog it and I was never as filthy. AI and automation, as impressive and efficient as it is introduces and demands new skills and ultimately could lead to autonomous control of a large part of harvest from the office. Ultimately that efficiency reduces costs, but at what cost.? A reduction in skilled labour and cheaper food placing yet more pressure on Farmers? There seems no doubt that government is only promoting a reduction in arable production through the current financial incentives. A reduction in labour in my humble view is not ideal and manufacturers need to be aware of that. And if Reuben and Tom were not around to assist you while a remote combine blocked up how would that influence your mental health insofar as leaving the office, driving to the remotely operated combine and being unable to share that safely . Autonomous capability is not so far away as we might think just think of military drone and aviation in general. ( Maybe I still have anxiety - I never blocked a combine again though!) The public is being advised subtlety that the drive to feed the nation post war has led to reduced organic material and the decimation of soil health and earthworm activity. I am seeing a disconnect between misinformed public, the sight of ever larger equipment, increasing agricultural deaths and injury and the fact that in a rural area this time of year one is regularly run off the road by 50 to 60 kph, short wearing, young guys often on the phone at 32 tonnes (or more) with perhaps a year or two driving experience. I am not ranting, and one hopes it is the minority but its happening. Like you I suspect I started at 20kph flat out with a 6 / 8 tonne trailer and 78 hp. Now we are talking LGV/ HGV weights and speeds, with no compulsory driver training and that will require intervention at some point. So thanks for using your platform Andrew to show us, mostly the supportive, how it should be done. You show us how farming is a great career to get into these days, and for all you do to support British farming locally and nationally. There is much to be done by the NFU and others but content creators are informing and educating so we are grateful. It would be interesting to show how your entire harvest is used and just how much food and drink and jobs it creates. But not now - you are looking tired. S.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Great message, thank you, so right in everything. Weighting that was not a 2 min job!!

[@RebeccaGulliver-c8y]

[@bobcrawford2105]

The technology involved today is so advanced from years ago but what is its reliability and can it be overridden to enable a combine to continue work ( safety features not overridden). My other concern is the field mapping and yields are they secure No third party seeing them and being used in grain futures market exploitation. New J D on order I suspect. Take care stay safe and healthy

Thanks for showing this Mr Ward, another thing i found interesting although not technology advanced was the steering axle bed trailer which im sure is a good thing on narrow lanes. Hope you can get started combining again this afternoon after this mornings shower.

A good video but a lot of things to go wrong with all the electrical stuff

[@robertallen3441]

Fascinating update. Electronics on combines were in their infancy when I left the industry in 2001, they sure have progressed ???. Hopefully the combine will still run in the event of a blank screen scenario?. The header looked very Mac-don, have JD copied it or is it a Mac-don in green?. Unusual to see every other knife finger missing, surprised it cuts as well as it appears. Finally, an old English proverb "He who blocks the combine, also cleans the b-gg-r out"

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Not a problem. I agree with your comments about yields and cost of machinery. Food has been too cheap for too long, we need more return for the higher costs we have compared to you.

What a combine!!! 👌😀

[@markrichardson1455]

Another great update Andrew,. I often wonder what my Father would make of today's tech. When he was on the combine he woulld say, the trailer man should always be in the right place, i shouldn't have to watch him , start at the back of the trailer and work forward 😅. Great piece of kit though Andrew. I can only concur with other comments, that New Holland sometimes appear to be playing catch up. Like yourself i can remember when a John Deere combine was a rarity in the UK.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Mine would say the same if he was here.

I'm amazed at the technology you have available at your fingertips, I use to go over to my uncles farm just out of Bendigo Victoria, he had crop of the year for several years 17 bags to the acre he would cut and bale straw after the header my job was to pick the bales then truck them to Stramit industries at Bendigo I was 15 or 16 then great video thanks 😊

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Shied how popular they are becoming. We should be finished wheat by next weekend but depends how much rain we get today. The spring oats barley and beans are a long way off.

[@chrismarshall45]

Having owned a JD combine and class combine John Deere is way ahead on the technology front, but the class is in a different league when it comes to build quality and reliability

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Interesting thoughts. I know JD weren’t brilliant 15+ years ago but there’s 2 neighbours have one each for 2 years and get on well. Claas and NH have been fighting it out for the number 1 spot for years.

[@daviddawson2210]

Thanks for the update Andrew. The John Deere looks a great piece of kit and being able to control the grain cart from the combine is a good idea. Looks like a wet day Monday but good the rest of the week so hopefully you can make good progress. Thanks again.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Wet here now as well as tomorrow. 😖

[@wilser777]

I walked behind this machine when it was close to the Corn Stores, searching the stubble for unthrashed heads, almost impossible to find any so really impressed with it's gathering capability and header losses. Also, as the straw was so rotten, it was smashed to pieces by the chopper which will make incorporation so much easier.

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Did t know you were on here Will!! Great combine though with impressively low losses.

[@PeterHughes]

Get the X9 there 🙂

[@PeterHughes]

How can the output be down in the JD compared to the NH? Is that down to the operator or electronics?

[@WardysWaffleAndrewWard]

Our NH is 60 hp more so that will be the difference. Give the JD 60 hp and I bet it’d beat the NH.

Why do they put wheels on headers now, previously only seen in canada and america years past.???????

I think for stability on uneven ground. With more going to zero till the land isn’t very level.

Reduces the weight being carried also, other than when raised of course.

Plus we’re definitely not harvesting at 15% it’s at 18% to 20% here and raining again today. Nice to see the technology working in the John Deere, amazing what they can do.

Another great video thank you Andrew. I wondered why the JD was doing significantly less tonnes/ hour but then I realised that the header was smaller than that on the NH. The cynic in me says that controlling the tractor from the combine is a gimic but people probably said that about tractors replacing horses and I not a complete Luddite. With tracking of the tractor from the combine there's no stopping off for a pie or a pee when carrying now.

What output can the JD manage? I’m guessing the 770 would be 60-80 tonnes in wheat? I noticed the demo machine running at 45tonnes which seems low for a big combine

That’s about what it was doing.

Really useful info, thanks. What did you replace the quad with? We don’t regret swapping ours for the RX.

In 2018 we moved to controlled traffic and replaced the SLD with a Farmet Phantom and started to reduce our cultivation depth. 18 months ago we outed all the equipment to go no till on the entire farm area, which is not without it’s challenges, we farm around Cambridge, neighbouring NIAB and Px on heavy calcium and magnesium dominated land. We replaced the Quad with a JD6250 which pulls an 12mAvatar and Tillso Rake and Roll. Did look at the RX initially but realised we just didn’t need it, great bit of kit though and far more flexible than a Quad. One year in and have got away with it so far!!@@WardysWaffleAndrewWard

Great story, thank you. I know James Peck and what he’s doing!

Man that JD is crawling even with a draper header. Reminds me of the s780i we demo'd years back. Imagine it in the damp 😂 Stick with what you got if i was you! Or try a lexion

I like the CR so not looking to change just yet!
