Old Farmer runs New Fendt Ideal | honest opinion

[@idahofarmboy]

You guys are the Best! Love the videos and Thank You Again from all of us at Copperhead AG and thank you for the opportunity to be part of your awesome Farm!

[@robwar2288]

How much is a set ? $10,000??

[@paulprigge1209]

Check out Ivor farm as well as semi farm KZbinrs. Not to mention farming fixing fabricating.

[@idahofarmboy]

@@robwar2288 Local Dealers can quote you depending on which Combine you have. I will tell you They Are Not $10,000, but a good chunk below that.

[@idahofarmboy]

@@robwar2288 No, quite a bit less than $10,000. Our competitors are over $10K, but don't perform like Copperhead in different crops. One Concave, Multiple Crops.

The first Bob Brown booshels of 2024! Love it!

[@stevebiddle8912]

Glad to see Bob in the video. The Fendt is a huge efficiency improvement over the two you had. It’s an amazing combine!!

[@SomeTechGuy666]

Please explain to me how it is a huge efficiency improvement.

[@phoenixsui]

Love the nice shots from the machines working. I am always amazed on how precise they work.

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Brain great video. Your dad always impresses me. Bob did a great job of showing how to steer to combine and explain the loose monitor. It blows me away how much has changed in farming. It was great to drive a 7720 John Deere back in the early 80’s. Keep up the great work.

[@tmdwu3110]

Brain!

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Brian. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch. Sounds like you are getting the new Fendt combine dialed in. You dad indicated he really liked that honey bee header. Said it works just fine. He kind of went over the combine with us and feels it is a good machine. He likes that joy stick steering and showed us the various controls that work fine for him. You are getting real good support from the dealer and the concave people dad indicated. That helps get everything dialed in. Glad the new combine is doing what you all expected of it. Nice 👍. Nice to have enough drivers to keep the trucks going to the elevator. They have a wait at the elevator anyway. Keeps the grain moving out of the field. I noticed the new combine really shoots the shafts off the wheat out the side. Really spreads it all over the field instead of in a pile. Nice machine. Thanks for the drone footage of the combine going across the field. Really looked sharp going across the field. Thanks for everything Brian. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@Jayhawk226]

As a boy from KS. does my heart good to watch a combine pushing through wheat fields.

[@nolanmanley5359]

Bob did a excellent job on explaning what he's experianceing in the combine. I enjoyed seeing just how advanced farming is with modern equipment and semi-modern farmers. 😁

[@_Ben4810]

Great explanation & content from your Dad Brian...I am getting a migraine & nose bleed from listening intently to understand his accent, but it's very much worth it...!!! 😀🙏🥴

I Iike how y’all are straight and to the point.

[@FuelMan]

It is awesome seeing another generation get interested in working on the farm

[@davidschlecht3016]

Amazing technology that is available on the fendt combine, and good to see that the yields are good and hopefully the beans will take off and yield well as a second crop.

[@burtzorn4059]

You just have to love Farmer Bob. They don't make farmers like him today. Just amazing how he takes to technology.

[@bryanhubner9848]

Great video!! Thanks Brian! Love watching the new combine work and the drone footage was great too as usual.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@1striperon]

Thank you, Dad, for your input. When I saw the 50’ head making its way across the field, I was impressed. I also agree with you that the wheels supporting the head height seems like a great design. Good video, Brian. It was funny when you were counting down the full combine vs. the grain cart.

[@darrylpaulhus3069]

Your honest opinion on the old farmer running the new Fendt Ideal combines respect for experience with insightful commentary on modern agricultural technology, showcasing a balanced perspective that honors tradition while embracing innovation. And I am Floating Village Life In From Viet Nam

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

We were dealing with Vomitoxin in 2014 in North Dakota. Had to leave a lot of fields because it wasn’t even worth cutting it was so bad, and what didn’t have Vom ended up sprouting in the field. It was wet all spring and continued right through harvest. We had 2 of ours, another crew had 2 of theirs, and the farmer had 2 as well. We were there for 6 weeks and cut maybe 10 days (and they weren’t even half days) had some snow as well, and lows were down in the 40’s most of the time.

[@bradenconway9066]

Those fendt’s look pretty cool but guys out here have horror stories about them especially on lentils with plugging up the choppers and lots of plugging on one rotor, all switched back to Case or deere. Think I’ll be sticking with my case ih combines for now but never know, if fendt figures out the plugging issues id be interested

[@davidbatstone1433]

Lovin the Fendt setup, be great to see the Ideal munching up some corn!!

[@larryskeggs9497]

[@kennondeal6798]

Awe. Sorry to hear about the loss.

[@donmathias1705]

A couple of years ago I was harvesting in the massey 760. I had a ticking noise coming from the drum/concave. I stopped at the end and had a look. One of the filler plates was worn thru and seemed to be the issue. I continued on a then had a hell of a wallop and banging. It takes a while for a drum rotor to stop turning. Had a look and what a mess. A rasp bar was broken. The ticking we worked out was a centre bolt breaking (the nut and broken bolt was still in place) and the bar was bowing out under rpm load. It broke at the bolt hole and the end simply wiped out everything it could touch. The accelerator paddles got flattened, the paddles for the straw exiting the drum got punched and holed. The concave took a pounding, wires damaged etc. Luckily it was end of one crop and had a couple of weeks before wheat and MF 860 finished my field. Took me 8 days on my own to repair the mess. Working in the bowels with wood and carpet on the straw walkers was no fun. Got it back to good as new. Spent a lot of time climbing up a ladder to get in and out of the back of the combine. Worst part was it was a new bolt that let go, only done less that 100hrs.

[@truthandfreedom885]

I've been highly anticipating the Fender 9T review. You guys do a pretty good job of reviewing equipment. Cut to the Chase and give us the bottom line

Nothing like spending $3/4 Million on a combine and having to change concaves the first day to clean up the grain sample,

I feel like the tracks are definatly the right way to go, with that big ass grain tank. What a machine!

[@garrettholscher5099]

We run deer machines we use small wire concaves for wheat and sample has gotten way cleaner than using the round bar with filler plates. Might be easier to change than the Chaffer

[@benmeiler9070]

Best looking combine out there ! What a beauty....

[@karlrovey]

I wish it were possible to run a header like that out in Oklahoma. We've got too many terraces where it just wouldn't fit (there was a really embarassing demo last year where the salesmen had to give up on showing off the full capacity of the combine they were trying to sell and run a smaller header due to the terraces).

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks 👍

[@tonyfroese6715]

Love the content. Good job Farming Brian

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Thanks

[@pepperstinson3141]

Having more truck drivers available should really help out during corn harvest. It does look like the grain sample is not as clean as your former machine. Also, I was wondering if you have had time to calculate your fuel usage per acre compared to the Gleaner? Thanks for helping feed & fuel the Country!! Blessings

[@froggienm71]

It would do you guys a lot of good to drag log chain from the frame of the new combine and help protect your new investment. When the static electricity is eliminated, the dust will fall off

[@bt9653]

Training mirrors on truck are cool!

[@charlesglasco8069]

[@harveystephens6115]

Landon, those little tasks may seem unimportant to you but they important,somebody has to do and you learn them Most have to be done daily and it takes pressure of grownups. You will get to doing their tasks soon. Proud of you!

[@Xroic65]

We've got a 2023 Fendt 8 here in Indiana, went from a 22 to a 23 to get a higher augur to get over our grain cart, and they redesigned the air flow system and we had some super trashy Corn/Beans last year, couldn't clean up the samples in wetter corn, and even in beans. And would lose about half a mile per hour while unloading on the go. Had to harvest super slow speeds with a 45 foot draper, and a 12 row corn head. Have you guys heard anything from Agco/Fendt as per getting your combine's air flow system redone?

[@RobertBrown-kc7wz]

hopely a fix by bean harvest

[@BobP-yf6qe]

Didn't know wheat had a problem with vomitoxin. I drove semi hauling grain on a large grain farm near Greenfield, IN during 07and 08 harvest and would hate to say how many hours I sat in line waiting to get tested and passed for vomitoxin in corn. Lot of lost time!

[@markmarcenko5738]

2 things, you are using every inch of that header and I would kill to be sitting with Mike Mitchell watching this video!!!! That machine is a BEAST.

[@markmarcenko5738]

Don't take it the wrong way, Mike had this combine under totally different conditions.

[@Krog12354]

Your best vidoe yet!

[@TheRandallraplee]

Just a good video. Thank you BFV!

[@jackbannock3458]

The settings are finicky in the fendt because you have corn/bean concaves in it when you need small wire for wheat with large wire in the back couple to get everything outta the rotors. Also you have corn bean sieves instead of small grain ones in it.

[@chadjennings1416]

I am amazed at how far the combine spreads the straw. It looks like it is almost covering the whole width of the head.

[@DonWelter]

Dad just takes the new technology in stride and rolls with it. The 50 foot head sure can eat the acres in a hurry. Thinking back when your dad was a young lad, 6 and 7 foot pull-type combines and 8-12 foot self-propelled machines were the norm. But, they weren't pushing the acres and yields thru them like today.

[@pormansgoldpmg5493]

Sure gonna miss u saying "Power Ladder" lol Fendt needs to up its game and borrow the power ladder convenience from the Gleaner. For what a Fendt costs u would think they would give u more than an aluminum ladder from Home Depot. lol for what it's worth I hear Deere's X series ladders are even worse. Thanks for the great video. Your dad is awesome as always.

Hey Brian, not questioning your methods just curious why you dont cut the wheat closer to the ground? Does the ground work up nicer in standing stubble vs it shredded on the ground? Just curious.

[@chucklesx]

The more straw going through the combine the slower and less efficient you are and there is no benefit to processing it when it's not being baled.
