Those shots where we can see both the grain bin filling and the reflection showing the operator's view are terrific. Great camera work.

[@bens8919]

yep, brilliant work isnt it. Absolutly mad to see how fast the machine is eating that corn from the cab view too

[@sergeantwilliams8185]

This machine is a beast! Ain’t wasting no time getting through the field!

[@jameswimbush5090]

BTP it's amazing how those big machines are absolutely running through that good corn not even stressing

[@ScottPykare]

Those X9's are something else. Never get tired of watching them. GO BTP 💪

[@obieacres4676]

Why don’t you watch a CR10.90 they where the first and only twin rotor and will eat an x9 for lunch.

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

Sat in one of these at the farm machinery show.... Looked like a airplane cockpit...those folding headers are sweet.. Awesome! Thx Jason.

[@russtrenkamp5737]

The X9 is an absolute beast. Having enough trucks to haul the corn away is the biggest problem. Anything class 10 is amazing.

[@bigtractorpower]

Trucking and drying capacity is very important to keep these machines rolling.

[@bobbysears6626]

It’s crazy to see how fast they going and remembering how slow we went with our 7700!! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@robertreznik9330]

Each row is taking in over 1000 ears a minute...

[@marknewman1971]

Those X9 are the beast of a combine. grain cart drivers have got their hands full trying to keep up with those machines. Thanks for sharing .

[@bigtractorpower]

You are 100% correct the grain cart operators have their hands full. I have a feature coming up on the Fendt 1050 tractor on the green card and I have your arrival I’m talking about what it’s like to keep up with these combines.

[@thestrawberrypatch5644]

My dad was telling me one of the local farmers was running 5,000 bushels per hour through one.

[@georgewettig1860]

I bought a Deere to harvest my field and my neighbors field in 2016. I love the machine nothing runs like a Deere. It is considerably less of a field than in the video, but nonetheless my JD gets the job done everyday. Very thankful for the quality workmanship of these machines.

[@Flabbycakes]

The way these combines RIP down the fields is borderline violent. Love to see these green machines!

[@brettengland192]

Amazing how equipment has advanced. When I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s my dad ran a John Deere 4400 and 6620 Turbo combine with 6-row headers on corn. I don't recall being able to run more than a couple miles per hour.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 4400 and 6620 are great combines. They run about 1.5 to 2 mph. I filmed a 6600 harvesting with a 4 row head and it took 3.5 minutes to cover 8 rows in the same view as an S690 with a 16 row head taking of 32 rows in 43 seconds.

[@stmcelroy4829]

We also Run 3 S-790’s with 35’ FD heads. In Alberta. Wheat barley peas and canola is what we feed them. They are a great combine. 😊

[@devinlarsen1103]

Would like to see some videos as I'm from Alberta and would like to see it run through so wheat if you don't mind or can

[@marcbarbour7515]

It's unbelievable how quickly the tanks full up. I have a question, what are the poly tanks on the left of the grain carts? Is it water in case of fire? Great videos, keep it up

Such a fresh and organic harvest

They need a 16 row head

I suspect they use the folding 12 so they can transport without removing the head, a folding 16 would be too wide for the road and would need carted. I do agree they should be running 16s.

@@douglassellers7528 New Holland invented the very first twin rotor combine in 1975 with their TR70 in the company is now part of Case international and they continue to make the twin rotor combine. The question is where was John Deere? Making conventional strawwalker combines. That said, I don't see anything wrong with John Deere combines they're good machines too.

[@mnelson2587]

Just thinking of how much it all costs. Not just the combine but all the rest of the infrastructure it takes to keep that moving at full speed. Grain carts semi trucks bin capacity drying capacity . Then go back to owning or renting the land fertilizer and seed costs. Tillage equipment planter and sprayer. Can make your head spin. Better figure on at least ten million dollars just to get started.

[@GeoffPeterson33]

I’ll admit, I didn’t want to like the X9 when it first came out. But seeing how it operates now, this is just incredible. Hope y’all got some trucks lined up for this thing 😂

[@JacobDoffing42]

My bosses use 2 John Deere 9660 STS combines 1 bullet rotor, and 1 9760 STS their oldest brother owns and those combines are used to harvest wheat, milo, soybeans, and corn. They don't usually use all of them at the same time, like for example they only have 1 corn header, and only 2 flex headers to harvest soybeans with.
