Forager or Combine? Meet the hybrid John Deere 99!

Paul Burnett and the team at Hunt Forest Group in the south of England were given the challenge of creating a world first. What they have come up up with is essentially a hybrid between a forager and a combine. Even better, the power source is the mighty John Deere 9900i!

Donkey i remeber when you set beside me giving a dvd to me in my house i was so happy that day

[@timmattison6553]

Great video. That's an awesome combination right there

[@antonyfarming]

Great video really interesting looks a great piece of kit 👍 cheers mate 👍

[@pauleng883]

Top video. More of this with great technical detail.

[@ArchersView]

A "very enjoyable watch" Great video!! 👍

[@shaunweston3769]

Looks a really nice setup 👌

[@spu5990]

Donkey getting excited when he saw the 8400!! Lol

[@qldhaycontractorbrad4957]

Been running draper headers on choppers here australia for years now

[@jamesb990]

Hi Donkey that is awsome to see combine header on foreger well done

[@piperdoug428]

So was the canvas's not double roller drives then? MacDon's green feed swather header here in Manitoba has drives at both ends of the the canvas's (so 4 total) plus coated rollers.

[@jamieshields9521]

Very interesting, this idea would been great this year as been drought, instead of cutting crop then baling, I could done with setup n unloading into stack or silage roll. I bet I would save money n time doing this way.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

I've been to R.Hunt was looking for tractors back in 2016...

[@jeffjefferson3364]

You should do a collaboration with these guys.

[@LandwirtschaftForstwirtschaft]

Very Good Video Great s Richard

[@JDrostAgricultureVideoNL]

Very good video

[@Max-hi6lk]

We had a John Deere combine maize head on a claas jag in the 90s, not the first combine head on a forager

[@Grassmen]

We werent meaning it like that. We meant it's the 1st 8000/9000 series running a draper head. That was all.

[@Klajnepojken]

@@Grassmen Then why do you say in the video "the first forager draper header combination"?

[@Grassmen]

@@Klajnepojken because it is the the first 9series Deere and Draper header combination.

[@Droledope]

Sort of like reinventing the wheel.

[@tobiasandersson8731]

Hello guys from sweden (Y)

[@re3143]

There’s a appreciable amount of engineering that went into this unit. We went with a MacDon on our 8400 and have been running it for a few years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjLiqBjrc2Ld9U

[@OliverLee390]

Would Hunt forest group sell one of these out of their Sparkford branch? XD

[@roberthart445]

Can some please tell me the name of the music in this video ?

[@patrickomalley9603]

Fear the Deere @grassmen

[@davie2606]

Can't they go faster with a disco header?

[@TheSad1980]

Hello from Denmark. My English isn't so good so I may have misheard it, but what kind of animals is this for, cattles, cows, or something else? How do you store it? Is it as silage or something else? Thank you for another great video 😀

[@83GreenGiant]

TheSad1980 It is Hybrid Rye wholecrop for Biogas production. It is stored in Agbags.

[@TheSad1980]

For biogas of course. That makes sense. Thank you for your answer

[@misskobayashi469]

Ok now find a combine with a forage header

[@paulsanders8000]

its called a draper head

[@MrMagnum7220]

Isn’t the rye way mature? We cut ours at preboot stage

[@farminstoltzfus]

@15:00 he talks about the customer's needs and what he's feeding. The mature cereal rye is going to a methane/biogas digester. Quality really isn't all that critical.

[@slats3517]

Maybe I'm showing my age, but that looks like an awful lot of expensive machinery for what I remember as quite quite a simple job.

[@David-xl8zf]

I mean MacDon makes combine style-headers on to mowers in the USA why not put a thing on a forage harvester, that´s not all that off.

[@thewippit2400]

Forager with a combine attachment 🤣

[@Boodlemania]

That looks like a lot of good cow chow going to waste - so to speak.

[@stephenlunt4451]

l like this video l would love to work trailer work

[@smartmooose]

Why has this crop been spayed if it was going to forage?

[@davidskiffington7039]

martin gauthier stop weeds building up for subsequent crops? Keep mycotoxins to a minimum? Stop insect build up to protect adjacent crops? Heaps of potential reasons to spray.

[@redstihl9027]

Not for animal forage

[@samlad2944]

I like John deere braned

[@valleyboy2099]

Stupud,overpowered machinery for the job at hand....

[@farmermo4464]

I hate to break it to you but the Americans have beat you to that idea and we have been doing that for five years so nice try

[@Grassmen]

Don't break my heart lol. We do think this is the first Draper X9 deere combo in the world. We are fully aware MacDon etc have at this for a long time. Even X7 series deeres.

[@farmermo4464]

GRASSMEN we have a claas choper and did run a 35ft Draper and now with the same choper we run a 45ft now

[@Grassmen]

@@farmermo4464 this is awsome. We feel like we have missed something mega lol.
