Putting high performance parts in our Fendt Ideal

[@idahofarmboy]

Thanks Brian for having us out to your farm. The Copperhead Ag Concaves should do very well in Corn & Beans also.

[@douglassellers7528]

Gland to see this new combine running. Those concaves sure made a difference. Nice to see you willing to try something new. Now the rest of are aware of the difference.

[@ianmckay1780]

Glad to see that the Ideal is finally stretching her legs and with the new concaves seems even better than the original.Good to see that Bob eventually gave up the reigns, if only to get more fuel, but fingers crossed for tomorrow.

[@jeffhunley7008]

You are running a 50 ft head the other day i went past a 5 acre wheat field and a older gentleman was using a old open cab gleaner combine i believe he told my son it was a 8 ft head i wish i knew what year the combine was but to look at the advancement in the equipment is amazing

[@shoresharp8349]

Man i really liked the Gleaner , the Fendt is on another level!!!!

[@ThomasDrehfal]

That combine is just awesome!

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Brian, Good to see the Ideal running and doing a more or less full day, thanks for sharing

[@user-og9hd2sj8z]

Thanks for another great video Brian. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch. Those new concaves you put in the Fendt really made a difference from what I could see and hear from all of you. Less than a bushel loss is pretty darn good. Nice going all of you. Looks like the new combine is doing well. Like that new head you have for the new combine Nice 👍 Hot and humid here in iowa also. Very sticky. Same with you also I guess. Hang in there. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Brian. You all take care. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

After seeing how other brands are when changing concave plates, I'll never complain about changing our Lexion APS grates ever again

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

I was thinking that in the process of installing

[@stirv6462]

Never have to change the main cylinder concave on claas for different crops? Just round bar for everything? Those come out the side which would be easy as well as long as you have tracks?

[@Zero01k]

You don't change the main concave on a Lexion, there is a cylinder in front of the main cylinder called the APS cylinder, threshing starts there, there are changable grates in under it on the APS concave (3 of them if you are a narrow body, 4 of them if you are a wide body). It doesn't look like it but it really helps clean up different crops while using a Lexion.

[@burtzorn4059]

Seems like it has a plenty of power. Glad your dad likes it. HAPPY FOURTH TO THE BROWN FAMILY. Take care and stay cool !!!

[@pormansgoldpmg5493]

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on threshing capacity etc of the Fendt and how it compares to other machines u have run.

[@FuelMan]

Amazing how the combined technology has changed in the last 30 years

[@andyknox9276]

New big fendt seems to have big capacity and loads of power.Keeps all the trucks full.Nice machine.

[@MrSnyper360]

I have been jonesing for another ideal video. Glad you got it setup

[@j.t.johnston3048]

Glad the new head and combine are doing well. Hope you guys have a great year!

[@AditsanNavajo]

This is absolutely incredible

[@AirzGamingTTV]

Really love your videos thank you for posting. Wishing you all the success and prosperity -from Columbus

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Brian we need the Bob Cam on the combine. I need to hear his comments about the Fendt.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Hiya Brian the wheat field looks awesome. Thank you for feeding America 🇺🇸 👍👍🍻 Safe and Happy Independence Day, brother.

[@arxfarming]

Another great video Brian. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@steveunholzer2056]

I've been waiting all day for this!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

New machines take a lot of tuning to find the sweet spots. And swapping in different concaves will add to the time. Good luck getting it dialed in, and then you have to repeat with beans and corn!👍👍

[@stevebiddle8912]

Another great video. Wishing you and your families a safe and happy 4th of July

[@7bmoose]

Glad to see things coming together. Have a successful harvest!

[@Scotthobart1086]

Another great video!

[@tolipydob]

Thanks again for the content Brian! 🙂

[@bryanswing135]

Not used to seeing the Fendt combine yet but I think it will be a good addition to your farming operation. Plus that 50' head looks awesome. Fall harvest should be very interesting.

[@chuckg9805]

i'm not a farmer but i can tell youall are in heaven in the new fendt! well deserved, great videos, thanks.

[@bertbinsbergen7549]

Nice video, succes with the new combine. Looks awesome to me.❤

[@MacawiSioux]

Wow, it's really nice. It's really attractive

[@patrickaherne3598]

Sounds like the Fendt combine was less than Ideal until you changed out the concaves.

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Company offered concaves and I said sure

[@patrickaherne3598]

@@BriansFarmingVideos It's a Dad joke. That's all I've got left at this stage. You'll get here one day.

[@mennoreuten1563]

Curios what the bossman thinks, glad everything went well so far, keep them coming greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@PA_Wilds_Coyote]

That is one awesome combine.

[@Mr617583]

It would have been nice if you had shown the difference between the OEM and the Copperhead concaves.

[@timharmon458]

Thanks for the video !

[@stropefarmsllc7630]

Great video the wheat looks fantastic

[@TheGrumpyFarmer]

What group bean do you plant for double crops

[@user-dn6ij6lm2g]

Love the video Brian and familys . like the new combine .

[@matthewtaliaferro]

Brian, what would you say cleans the grain better, the Fendt or the Gleaner?

[@williamthomas9463]

I realize that Copperhead Ag probably gave you the concaves for the advertising but for what that, or any, new combine costs; the only thing you should have to put in it is fuel! Oh, and DEF but, you shouldn’t have to do that either 🤦🏻‍♂️.

[@OOpSjm]

There are various concave options depending on the crop, moisture, etc.

[@timothybailey7118]

Don’t know yet about corn and beans but for wheat it appears your decision to swap two combines for one monster is going to work great.

[@johnfristoe4256]

Brian, how is the grain sample? How is the production rate of the combine compared to the Gleaner?

[@user-ew7ch5px6o]

That head is pulling in a lot of grain Impressive

[@waggtech4883]

Good a/c if you’re fogging the windows!

[@oldad6207]

So happy about your +1" of rain!

[@bobwest2807]

your dad seems to love the combine. How much will you get to do?

[@cyleystadnyk6470]

Great video Brian

[@chrisvanmeijl9047]

Gotta get rid of that cheap drop pan and get a Bushel Plus. Way easier to use, no silly rain gauge to use for measuring, instead put a few numbers into the calculator, and get precise loss numbers. You even get accurate numbers from full spread, so no need to have heavy windows scattered all over the field

[@davidrollins4272]

Awesome machine.

[@user-zh6lw5zy1w]

Great job,

[@daveevans2710]

Whats the wheat yielding? Looks a good crop coming onto the draper belt.

[@wry569]

Great video.

[@alpinefarmer1794]

We don't have big gear like this in new zealand. Very impressive operation.

[@daveevans2710]

Yeah you do.....

[@user-vz8cd5hz6p]

One bushel loss per acre is nothing in high yielding wheat you will have enough wheat heads that have some type of damage from all kinds of things like insects frost damage deer rodents, I raised wheat in intensive management were you had to have extreme yields just to make a profit and I have raised wheat with little inputs and made great profits. If you want to make money growing wheat get with a great county extension agent like they have had in Northwest Tennessee and the UT agriculture systems

[@rcktransportinc.4312]

What is the update on the standing beans that got rolled?

[@thomasstrand9853]

Great video Brian 100 bushel wheat that's pretty darn good take care God bless

[@Mr617583]

You need to show the wheat in the grain bin with the OEM concaves and Copperhead after the combine settings are dialed in. Which has less whitecaps? Course you could use some blanks with the Copperhead which you did, which would heip, but that hurts seperation The factory small grain concaves have two different wire spacing options, wide and narrow. Looks like you had the wide ones at what, 10mm? You would have to find out from Agco what the spacing on the narrow ones are. The disadvantage of either Ideal small grain concaves compared to Precision Farm Products extra narrow 4mm, or narrow 6.5mm is that the factory ones have the top outside blanked off which limits seperation . Precision doesn't have anything made up for the Ideal but if a customer sends them a concave they will make some extra narrow or narrow without the blanked off area. Or they would make whatever wire spacing a customer wants. Making some 9 or10mm which you would place in the rear of the concave in wheat or in the front in soybeans would be good. Using wide spaced or roundbar in the front in beans with blanks to get rid of unthreshed pods is a poor choice compared to 9 or 10mm which don't need blanks. The Copperhead system would be best in high moisture corn where you need a round bar type concave that won't plug but has more capacity than a factory round bar that has a 5/8" or 3/4" spacing at best. In wheat , I would think it would put too much moog on the chaffer compared to using 4mm and 6.5mm and maybe 1 row of 9 or 10mm. That's the reason Gleaner has always been a popular choice in wheat because of their cleaning system is good at getting rid of moog before it gets to the grain pan. In small grains the main limiting factor on most combines would be sieve loss. Some people in wheat country with MF 9560"s or 65"s would use airfoil chaffers and then blank off the 2 stage air duct to get more air to the chaffer with the net effect of gaining capacity over the shoe.

[@keithpeterson499]

yea the fendt and honeybee are a good match and they are cool too.

[@petergardner2334]

good to see it in action

[@thomasleonard1846]

At the price of that combine, I would send the bill to Agco!

[@larrybg9293]

Good stuff

[@russbrown3159]

I see another truck in your future.. Good video!

[@Flyingscottyman]

"Man... the Combine has taken a massive dump!"... can we have a view warning when these one-liners come out, I nearly spat my mroning tea out across my computer screens. Thank you!

[@briansmith8405]

Not sure why it bothers me but Fendt should have the same paint job on the combines and tractors…would look cool to have them match even though it makes no difference.

[@DonWelter]

Several passes will cut quite a hole in a field. Hope your cart and trucks will be able to keep up with that beast.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Hopefully yall can get a full day of harvest in the next day.

[@brianwilton8555]

great video

[@jamesdunleavy9528]

Will you be putting beans in the field as the double crop?

[@RobertBrown-kc7wz]

yes

[@hedleyjackson5131]

One percent loss is good if your maxing output in barley here 1 percent makes a huge mess but over here we’re aiming for 140 bushel barley 180 wheat so 1 percent is a lot more keep safe harvesting.

[@mattphillips4260]

damn that grain table is big

[@jeffwilliams3642]

I was watching another farming channel earlier and was wondering....Are yall loads being turned down because of deer poop in your wheat?

[@davidk.7264]

Very interesting….do you pu another crop on that field?

[@_lucas_1k_]

They put double crop soybeans

[@hansfossholt1016]

Look`s good

[@matthewwipf568]

looks weird not having 2 combines in the wheat field this year , Fendt is pretty impressive with that 50 foot Honey Bee header
