Our Goal For This Channel Is To Share With The World What Farming And Agriculture are like With A Large Family Operation Running John Deere, And Case Tractors And Equipment

Great video. What a huge header. Good comparison of headers. Always look forward to your show. Keep up the good work!!

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Thanks, will do!

[@zacharylahlum6502]

S790 is a hell of a buDGeT combine😂

[@benedictbaumfartner7144]

Thanks for another great video

[@scottpykare801]

Happy you got to demo an X9.

[@paulpence8895]

Awesome combines but they are EXPENSIVE!!!!

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Yes they are!

[@frankg5466]

👌👌

Dream on with having another 12 feet more than that JD 50 footer with that new 62 foot Brazilian GTS head. They say that it is a lighter head with lots of lighter aluminum than JDs or MacDons 50 foot steel head. Dont know if the GTS is a hinged or just a flex head.

[@RealJohnWayne]

If it's got a lot of aluminum in it, you can rest assured it will flex, and the problem with aluminum, it doesn't return to its original form, it cracks. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

[@John-nc4bl]

True, but it depends where the aluminum is located as it may be in non-flex areas. And it will need a good 'shake-down' in various crops to reveal its weak areas.@@RealJohnWayne

Need to try a claas 8700. They are a beast.

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Would be awesome

[@easternshorefarmer]

I really like ur channel but u guys are extremely hard on equipment and don’t seem to care if u break it, maybe with age will come more respect

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

What you mean hard on stuff??

[@easternshorefarmer]

@@fettigfamilyfarms r u serious

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Yes what I do that's hard on stuff?

[@easternshorefarmer]

@@fettigfamilyfarms I know brother just slow it down and be easy on stuff

[@Ironmountain81]

Slamming the shit out of doors ha.

[@johndeeregamer8979]

By the way the X9 has a soft close door😁

[@MoFire312]

Get two X9 1100s to replace the 3 S790s. 😊😊😊

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Not worth it especially when one has been down for 3 days now

[@MoFire312]

That's not good.

[@rogerembry4777]

Mike Mitchell doesn’t care to much about the x9

[@jacobjameswilker4370]

True lol

[@scottpykare801]

​@jacobjameswilker4370 Ivers liked their X9 demo though.

[@farming4g]

A tough crop like lentils or flax will test any machine, adverse weather compounding it worse. I'm sure the x9 is good in corn or beans, but for that extra huge price tag can use that money for a good header instead.

[@RealJohnWayne]

Mitchell is a whiner. "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲

[@Yeti573]

In my opinion, that's not entirely true. He point blank doesn't like the X9 in tough lentils due to plugging issues, understood. However he has said in a comment that the X9 is a durum and hard red wheat eating machine, aka cereals. Overall I don't think he completely feels the price vs increase in production ratio is there for what losses are acceptable for him. My opinion.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

What an easy life courtesy of the American taxpayer....dem subsidies for wealthy luxury farmers. Don't worry, American taxpayers to the rescue....

[@fettigfamilyfarms]

Yup, all taxpayers, we don't work 110-plus hour weeks for months at a time, hoping the weather doesn't take away all our hard work.. we just sit on our couch and watch the work get done ✔️ 😴 God forbid any one be successful for working hard...

[@LtColDaddy71]

Hey, I despise the farm bill and subsidies as much as anyone. It’s called crop insurance now. I don’t get a bunch of money personally, we’re on the organic side, but I’ve used some conservation funds, and received some real low rate loans over the years. But I set my own prices, and if you sell me out for cheaper foreign product, which has been mostly fake organic, no better than conventional grown here in the US, then you go to the back of the line when you try to come back. Their is way less product than demand. We import 60% of the organic product used in the US. The hours we work are insane. What you see as luxury is in fact a force multiplier. It allows us to do more for longer. Personally, I’m a man of million dollar planters, and sub $100k combines, organic crops just don’t yield enough to require the capacity. I have acreage that’s been in the program for over 20 years that consistently puts out 200 bushel organic no till corn, but it’s a sliding scale all the way down to 120-130 on ground that’s still being built up. It takes time. My point is that you will pay more for your food without the farm bill. You’ll pay it either way.

[@jjkrums9612]

I'm a farmer myself and your not going to pay for that machine with 18 bushel beans, but something must be. No offense, just saying
