JOHN DEERE S790 Combine 75th Anniversary Edition

In this video Big Tractor Power is out in the field with a model year 2022 JOHN DEERE S790 Combine 75th Anniversary Edition harvesting corn with a C12R 12 row corn head. In this video I ride along in the class 9 543 hp 400 bu. combines cab and visit with the farmer Billy to talk about harvesting 11,000 acres of corn with 5 S790 combines. Billy also talks about the JOHN DEERE combines he has owned and operated over the years.

I really enjoy listening to Billy. He's very nice, accommodating and explained things in a way we all can understand. Love ALL Garnett Farms videos. Thanks Jason 👍🏻.

[@MachineryMastery-b1o]

The power these machines have is almost unbelievable.

[@OmahaWayne]

Absolutely LOVE your "Billy" videos. Thank you both for a great video.

[@chuckrobinson6244]

Enjoy listening to Mr Billy it would be good if you could do a sit down interview with him on how they got started in the early days of Garnett farms and now they farm 30000 acres thank you

[@davidlynn254]

I know it's hard for a lot of farmers to be on camera, but Bily does such an awesome job & is always so informative !! Another great video !!

[@John-jg5dh]

Great video and discussion . Having the owner/operator so freely talk makes a world of difference! Hes great!

[@SimonKL11]

John deere makes nice combines😉👍 thanks for the video Billy and Jason👍👍

[@flemmingnielsen5989]

Great Video with Billy, great to hear his thoughts

[@piperdoug428]

If there was an embassidor for grain farming at bigger scale but still doing it for the love of the actual work it would be Billy, we had the 50th 9600

[@JacobDoffing42]

I've run a John Deere 9660 STS Bullet Rotor combine with my boss to harvest some wheat in South Central Kansas near Conway Springs. They harvest anything from Wheat, Milo, Soybeans, and Corn

[@planeiron241]

Really like listening to Billy talk about his farm equipment, Maybe you could do a interview on his machines through the years., his upgrades and thoughts

[@bigtractorpower]

I would like to do that. The farm while mostly John Deere today has had a variety of tractors and combines. They had Minneapolis Moline, INTERNATIONAL, Allis Chalmers and WHITE over the years before going green. Even with John Deere they have had Ford 4wds, a Case IH QUADTRAC, many Challengers and now Fendt.

[@marvinmclachlan1395]

When you ask Billy the right questions it sure makes an interesting conversation.We farm in southwestern Ontario and run a 9670 combine 608c corn head and 635 rd draper

[@bigtractorpower]

9670 is a good one. A farm I film at runs two of those.

[@heathwoods8881]

Man that Billy feller is one in a million i think he would let run one his machines and he also a very nice guy i would love hear him talk about his farm and how he got started an sorts it would be interesting

[@matthewtaliaferro]

Most farmers don’t really let someone new run their combine’s until they have enough experience to

[@chrisb_71]

You have some of the best farm equipment videos on KZbin. I love the attention to detail with regards to equipment specifications, your video from the cab, and the drone/camera work. Keep it up!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching Chris and posting this kind reply. It is fun going out to the field to make these videos.

[@2020Tundra]

Thanks again for getting Billy to share some of his farming insights… he does a great job on camera when you get to ride along. A question that I’d like to hear Billy’s response is whether he’s ever considered running tracks on the combines? One other question - did you ever make a video detailing the huge grain storage system on Billy’s home farm?

[@iancroot1388]

Wow that was some video Jason, love it when you feature Billy he's such a hive of information and personality that he could write the next text book on Harvesting. Sure be interesting to see where John Deere combines end up after the next 75 years of production.

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Jason. Billy is always a good one to talk to. I liked how he explained about things you have to consider in upgrading combines and what goes with it such as larger planters, grain heads, etc.

[@jimmystrain883]

It's always good to see Billy really enjoyed the video thanks Jason

[@bombpapasbasement1567]

I work for Standard Iron in Grand Island, Nebraska, and we make combine parts for John Deere and CNH. I weld loading augers and spout tailings for John Deere combines, and occasionally weld parts like handrails and knife guides for CNH combines.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing. It’s interesting to to think about all of the components that go into making a combine.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Great video Jason, thanks for posting it 👍👍🌽🌽

[@404nitro]

It's always very interesting to hear Billy's thoughts on the equipment they run.

[@markwray3905]

Interesting conversation. Thanks for sharing.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Great video with Billy. Interesting hearing the mindset about upgrading to X model line. Having to take into consideration planter configurations to match things up etc etc. Thanks again.

[@dwightl5863]

With GPS would it be necessary to have a planter match the number of rows on the corn head? As long as the spacing between the rows are the same I won’t think it would make any difference.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

@@dwightl5863 the only time it would make a difference is in hilly country where the "guess row" spacing varies due to side slip on the emplement.

[@dwightl5863]

@@Snowtruckdriver I could see that happening. Thanks.

[@samrugtiv3839]

Very well done sod buster

[@SlipShodBob]

It seems so strange to realise they had been around so long. We have a photo of my dad as a teen having lunch before a traction engine powered thrasher where he had been working with his dad, grandfather and uncles alongside the owner of the engine and thrasher. He would have been 86 next year and was still working full time through hay making this year.

They keep 4 carts and 15 semi trucks rolling.

[@carrollmccoun110]

For there time, cost economy and endurance, the 6600 John Deere was by far the best ever built.

[@marcelocunico5341]

Great vídeo Jason.

[@johnmessinajr.2591]

So what he's basically saying is an X series combine with a 12 row head is ridiculously small? A 16 row is just right? With the 16 row X series his planters are useless and need upgrading to 32 row? Apparently it's a ripple effect. Is he the boss man of Garnett Farms? I saw one year in the comments that they farm close to 40,000 acres!? Awesome video! 😃

The combine to beat.

[@bigtractorpower]

The S790 is a hood harvesting machine.

[@generationll]

It would be nice if Deere would up the horsepower & the grain tank capacity on the S780/S790 to match the same on the CaseIH 8250/9250 axial flows.Back in the 1970s I believe that the Massey Ferguson 760 was just a bit bigger.I wonder if Billy got a Turbo 8820.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Wonder when farmer Billy upgrades to x9 combines how many he will buy cuz if he buys 5 that's 225-250' of wheat and soybean and 80 rows or 200' of corn

[@MrBigrobmjca3]

Please don’t laugh, but in real life, I life I live on about an acre, but I’m classified disabled and play a LOT of Farming Simulator 22 (literally more than enough hours of a full time job), and I run mostly Deere 790’s.

[@FarmHand25]

Where’s Matt?💁‍♂️

[@jamesjolly7406]

👍👍

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍

[@jarrodward8211]

How many 7700's did they run and how many acres were they farming then?

[@bigtractorpower]

Both very good questions. I will have to see if I could interview Billy on the history of their farm equipment. The farm is several generations old. They still have the first tractor ever use by the farm a 1905 Avery Steam engine. I recently saw a picture of the home farm from 1982. It was big for 1982 and an Allis-Chalmers 7580 4wd is sitting in the yard. I am sure the equipment history would be interesting. Billy has good stories about their first 24 row corn planter in the early 80’s pulled by a JD 4320, running V8 John Deere 8850 4wds in the 80’s and Big Ford 1156 4wds in the 90’s.

Hi. Thank you for watching so many BTP videos.

[@davidoden]

Did they no till any wheat? Brian has just about gone 100% no till for wheat.

[@bigtractorpower]

No it is 100% tillage ahead of the Horsch drills.

[@popswrench2]

i HOPE deere got bugs outt thaat engine if still the "6135" model ......

[@popswrench2]

BUT and however , combine wood be a good place a questionable engine wood survive well
