Tough Conditions 🤔

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Mike

[@joescheller6680]

Welkers are a good bunch of boys. They have had some short crops like everyone else but their farm is still going. Just took on new ground last fall. They are equiped to fix an ything where some dont have dealers come in for major repair.

[@randybedker1584]

Can't get any rain to grow the crop but always gotta rain when trying to harvest. Mother nature has it backwards. 😂

[@TheRandallraplee]

Thank you Ike and Case!

[@justinmitzel2]

Under the toolbox and gps settings if you change it from chase to pull it usually drives much straighter

[@sew1194]

That Red combine is doing a great job.

[@driverwildkatz87]

Great Machines. Big Fields...big Machines...Work......this my life. This is why i life. Farming over all in the World😊😊😊

[@benflint9877]

I would sure love to see the AF11 on your farm

[@SoWhatIfI...]

Lol! You know it's tuff when you look back and see straw hopefully coming out but not a spec of dust. When the straw starts glooping out of the chopper then it's not tuff, it's wet!! That means you only have 2-3 passes left lolol

[@joshwells6448]

Here in Ontario that’s the story couple year back straw wasn’t coming out back of our lexion bent that rotor fins needed new rotor

[@coryweber6188]

I can't believe case wouldn't get you one of there new AF 11 to try you buy alot of equipment you would think they would want you guys as a customer

[@ErVan_AG]

Mike is trying to plug the chopper! lol

[@stevenfetter4156]

Case has adopted the redekop chopper now and thats the best chopper in the industry.

[@nikphoenix]

Mike, Have you had a chance to see an AF11 run yet? Welkers demo of it look impressive.

[@bjornthorell1432]

Hello Mike from a former Swedish farmer with relatives in Canada. Check out the Welkers impressions after running the Case AF11 around 10 mph 💪👍

[@wssides]

Way too new and too much combine for the crops Mike can expect on the South farm. Maybe some years wjen he has enough North land.

[@farmercologistc7039]

Know your pain, sod that rain.😢 Only just finished up ourselves. Had a record breaking year here in the South of England. (40.2% on the moisture meter)😅

[@HootMaRoot]

Sounds like you're a contractor or havesting to dry a bit then be bruised for cattle feed? Even up here in Scotland wouldn't touch it at 20% unless it's going straight to the bruiser and be treated

[@randybedker1584]

Need Ashton to come try out the Case.

[@MyBussard]

Put one of them green machines beside you in that tuff conditions and compare.. be mind blowing I bet

[@carlfalt174]

That's grain farming Mike. It starts raining in the end of August until the snow flies. And as you grain farm further north you'll enjoy more fun things like snow and colder days. Have fun 😁

[@dodsmith4570]

When are you going to have a demonstration of the NH CR11? They have a nice cab layout.

[@Machines85]

Have nice day, my friend

[@joescheller6680]

Did that one time on some soybeans. Wringing wet and drzzling we finished the field but it was tough. Was having problems on cutter bar more than anywhere else plugging.

[@NickJones-n5y]

This is what farmers don’t get. They have been working their asses off. It’s raining and he says we’re going to have a coffee. Let them go home do laundry,sleep get a haircut. No matter what they say that’s what they want to do!!

[@robward7662]

Used to play on a small patch compared with you , big for nz though remember those times when you just have a bit left and it gets tough early in the am’s or when you get rain and you just need it done, tough times but great memories.

[@leddielive]

Interesting question if anyone knows the answer I'd appreciate it. The reel is in 3 parts & appear to be individual sections, can you adjust the speed of each section manually or does the combine vary the speeds as a turn compensation, similar to a spray as it increases product to the fast moving outside boom & decreases product to the slow moving inside boom when turning. I realise my question may sound weird, but in say Israel huge circular plots are farmed because it's easier to irrigate, therefore if you cut that crop in a circular fashion differing reel speeds would most definitely be advantageous?

[@gkloepper]

You can‘t, all three sections are always moving equally fast. I would guess they‘re all driven by a single drive and not independantly.

[@leddielive]

Thanks for the info. Maybe something for Case IH to consider in future? 🤔

[@joescheller6680]

Arent they harvested straight. Thats what they do here reguardless of how circles go.

[@isiahvictorian4529]

You hard on the big Red machine. John Deere doesn’t stand a chance lol.

It's 2024 and case still has garbage GPS. They should just give up already and install Deere systems straight from the factory.

[@gunnarbeck225]

AMEN

[@leddielive]

It would be good to see that Case machine cutting some of those pluggy lentils you have struggled with, TBH I think the Case would cope, as the latest AF11 Case machine is a whole new design layout, cutting down the number of drive belts & maximising hydraulic motor use allowing greater speed controls & reversing abilities. Probably too late to trial a new AF11 this season Mike, but if you truly love your wife, who has borne you beautiful children & treats you like a God, I'd expect a new AF11 Case combine for 2025 season just because Ashtyn is worth every penny! 🥰 (Get yourself out of this one Mikey boy)😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@stirv6462]

It's nearly impossible to plug an ih. There's nothing to plug in the back. Usually the feederhouse will stop first and that's nothing.

[@leddielive]

I believe you, those red machines are really good & not just the harvesters.

[@cunninghamfarm3792]

Or.... get all the combines ready for chickpeas except 1 or 2, then combine the last 80 acres when it's not raining. But, the things you do for content.

[@Jehty_]

So then he has 1 or 2 combines less for chickpeas, so falls behind on them. Then what?

[@farmermike1000]

@@Jehty_ for only a couple hours while those two combines finished the wheat. Wouldnt take long to change the 2 combines over after that, and you get the bonus of grain that isnt 25% moisture

[@jonludens4180]

Mike, Welker Farms is testing in AF11 Case IH combine. They are going 10.4 mph in 40 bushel an acre wheat. That'd be kind of tough unloading with your grain card speed limit! 😂

[@thelyders]

I think it was sub 20 bu. wheat. But probably could do it in 40 also. Why you would want to drive a million dollar combine and header that fast is beyond me.

[@turnerg]

Geez how do you expect to combine in rain

[@case1020]

The reason your settings changed is because of how they're pre programmed into the ACS (automatic crop setting). You can change the ACS to your current settings and they won't move when you power off the machine.

[@williamwood816]
