Maize harvest under wet soil conditions | Team Tracks Oussoren | John Deere 7400 & Kato ic75

When the going gets tough the tough get going, in this case contrator Oussoren from Westbroek in the Netherlands.
When there is a lot of rainfall, especially on the peat soils in mid Holland the harvest can be difficult. Contrator Oussoren converted for this a John Deere 7400 SPFH on excavator tracks.

The first sensible way of working in the wet that i have seen,not watching multi million dollar machines completely stuck in mud

[@hedge685]

Well, as a plus, tillage is done at the same time as harvest in one operation.

Ver unique machines, never seen something like that. The operator must be quite skilled to keep the header in level in such muddy conditions.

[@nielsrooiman772]

That isn’t a combine

[@georgetomlinson9922]

Niels Rooiman no it’s a forage harvester but the front is still called a header.

[@hughe29]

As amazing as those machines are, it seems like a crazy amount of energy and investment for a relatively small harvest. Far from the massive efficiency you normally see.

[@atomicwedgie8176]

They are contractors and chop not only corn, but hay/grass silage, I bet.

[@logan_wants_fresh_memes1597]

True, seems very inefficient to harvest on wet ground

[@markfryer9880]

That harvester started out as a wheeled vehicle when it left the John Deere dealer. Someone did quite a bit chop and mod. to make that machine a reality.

[@xSCHEF]

No shit Sherlock.

The Sound of the John Deere Harvester in the Beginning ofthe Video is insane! Never heard a such badass Sound!

[@markfryer9880]

TractorSpotter wasn't kidding when he said difficult conditions. I am assuming that the fields are too low lying to be able to adequately dry out, hence the special machines. Gumboots for walking those fields.

[@chriswhite4596]

That John Deere chopper sounds good with a Straight Pipe on it !!!!

[@jamesmcmahon7091]

Some good old fashioned ingenuity and engineering right there

[@jeroenvisscher6580]

Most farmers in these wet (peat) regions of Holland would not consider growing silage maize on these soils. But a farmer maybe does not always have a choice to get his silage maize elswhere. We had a couple of dry years, so maybe he took the risk to go for it. But as the description states, autumn was very wet. These peat soils are actually very suitable for grass production. To me the best purpose for these very wet soils, especially in dry years. Maize production is just far more suitable for sandy soils to me, we grow it ourselves too in the east of Holland.

Yes, the tracks look very similar to Russian artillery tractors

[@MrKaba1985]

Don't look at an country where more than 50% from farm ground is made by getting land out an ocean, Netherlands are making the land over years as they build wood into the north see, the waves bring mud and sand that soil would really get dry in about more than 100 years. The next problem is salt in the ground. They Deep pluging about all 2 - 4 years. You can't wait until winter and the ground is frozen than you can forget the corn.

I'm struggling to see the point of growing forage maize if have to go to these lengths to get it in.

It hardly ever goes down like this. And they are growing forage to feed cattle to produce milk to earn a living how can you not see the point in that?

[@R0gon3_R4v3n]

[@Motumatai3]

Quite a bit of soil transport from one farm to another on those tracks. Could become a problem with disease outbreaks? And as others have said, this would appear to be quite inefficient compared to harvesting in ideal conditions.

I’ve worked silage in Holland for a good 15 years now, helping the local contractor get through the harvest (which for the last 7-8 years btw hasn’t been what it used to, due to less farmers and bigger machines probably) and I’ve never seen a harvester with a fold down cab. Is it common for a harvester to be able to do that and have I just not been around one that needed to, or is it a mod? We run a team of Steyrs + GINAF and my boss has been a steady Claas user for the harvesters.

[@TYSuggested]

Not very common. It folds so they can meet hight restrictions when transporting it.

[@sharkeyist]

Is it a cab mod? Or just tipped forward in a service position?

[@agri_67]

Great Video !

[@vegetarierfurtierschutz8931]

Das ist doch mal etwas anderes, als üblich! Aber mit der schwierigen Anfahrt auf dem Tieflader und der Abfahrt mithilfe dem Container-Dienstes, dürfte das Maishäckseln teurer werden, als der abgeerntete Mais eigentlich wert ist.

[@IFear_Naught]

I find farming machinery and the mechanized methods interesting as all hell. Damn near anything on tracks makes me happy in my special place. If these machines were being operated by good looking women, this would be my perfect video.

[@markfryer9880]

Well at least one of the people using the machines has a beard, so I think you're out of luck there. I am assuming that you don't like women with beards. Not that there is anything wrong with that. No, not at all. Seinfeld quote.

Yep, they don't harvest any corn. Just make silo. Where I live, corn never gets ready to harvest (wrong climate and no such hybrid yet) and maize silo is very good feed for live stock.
