The 9500 is a beautiful machine. Still run a 4420 myself.

It sure is. We ran the old 4420 for many years. Its a good machine

2020 sure had its ups and downs. The arrival of the 9500 was on the up side for sure

[@mikep7810]

Well put Scott. It definitely was!

[@LtColDaddy71]

That was my 1st modern SP combine. Used a 7721 PTO powered unit and opened everything up with a 4400, with no AC. Call me a baby, but the AC worked on the 4440, and the 4400 never had AC.

[@mikep7810]

Thats a good combine to have as your 1st sp combine

[@LtColDaddy71]

@@mikep7810 I farmed a long time before we could afford one. I'll never part with it, or my 4440 tractor. I think they wrote a country music song with those exact words as lyrics. LOL

Thank you. It sure is a great machine

[@farmlife8734]

Ya we got a John Deere on the farm and runs really good

[@ronniesorter1888]

I worked on harvest for a guy that had two 9600s and a 9500. The 9500 was a great machine that ran the 25ft rigid head with no trouble. It didn't like it too much though picking up 36ft swaths with the pickup attachments though.😂😂

[@mikep7810]

They really are great machines

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Combine was a great addition. Your opening scene was meant for snowmobiling.

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Anthony. I need to pick up a snowmobile to drive around

[@mennoreuten1563]

Thats a realy Nice upgrade for sure,any big plans for this year Mike? Hope all is well and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Menno. We are doing repairs on things but 2020 was a rough year so I don't expect too many big plans this year

[@RickPerry4960]

How did oats do for you this year? I would have thought you would need the straw for bedding... I see you were spreading it on the ground... great video mike!

[@mikep7810]

Oats did pretty good this year. We come back through with the discbine and mow everything then bale it

[@garyhunter6030]

Do you ever lease your oat fields after harvest for do9ve hunting. Its a great way to get extra money for the farm. Great video thanks for sharing.

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Gary. We've never done that before. I haven't heard of it. I'll have to check it out

The first John Deere I operated was a 7720 . It's a bit different going from an offset header to the feeder house in the middle but I loved the newer 9500's. We did custom wheat harvesting for 5 years in 4 different states & then came home to do fall harvesting in our area . What size header is on your 9500 ?? Wonderful video !!

[@mikep7810]

The 7720 would have been an upgrade over our 4420! We have a 15 foot header on ours

[@rtdavis62]

Great video. Do you plan to upgrade your corn planter toast six row?

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. Eventually. We definitely want to. 2020 was a tough year so I don't see it happening this year

[@rtdavis62]

@@mikep7810 yes 2020 was tough. about 10 yrs ago my brothers bought a nice used 9600, then bought a used 12/23 planter to get the planting done quicker. They still use the old 6 row planter to plant 6 acres of sweet corn.

[@mikep7810]

@@rtdavis62 I'd love a split planter to do 15 inch row soybeans! a 6/11 would be perfect! Eventually the plan would be to get a 6 row corn planter and keep our 4 row for sweet corn

@@mikep7810 are you on 30 in rows? While I was still farming with my brothers we went from 38 inch rows to 30 inch rows 40 years ago.

[@danaedwards5464]

great video as always are the oats a cash crop or part of the herds diet

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Dana. The oats are a cash crop. We use the straw for bedding

Mike. My bad. Keep up the great video’s Craig

[@longviewfarm226]

I’ve never run a combine just wondering what determines how long you leave the corn stubble. Nice machine

[@mikep7810]

As long as you are getting the ear of corn and not running the corn head in the ground. I dont think there is a specific length for the stubble

[@robertshrawder2934]

So how did u like that corn head u bought in pa

[@mikep7810]

Loved it. It was a great pick up. I would definitely go there again to buy another head

[@calebjohnson1881]

What do oats usually average per acre? You might have said and I missed it. Th

[@mikep7810]

They are a smaller grain like soybeans. This field ran around 50-55

Do you guys bale any cornstalks for bedding.
