These Harvester companies are just so good at what they do...and they work hard...always fun to watch

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Last shot brought back great memories. I ran Dad's 4020 pulling a John Deere #38 Two row chopper. He ran a 4520 pulling a second one. Back in 1974. We custom chopped 200,00 tons that year.

[@paulpochan9631]

Love the "pull type"....old school....golden age of farming...!!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

The 782 was a rare find.

It is nothing short of impressive the amount of material these new choppers can handle

[@glencaple3888]

Thanks for throwing in that JD 4020!

[@411alcohol]

I worked for this tight wad farmer where I operated a claas 6 row chopper. I had the oldest one of the bunch. It was about year 2003.

[@JS-1983]

I like the old ones and pull-types, that Fox and Hesston are quite cool machines 😎

[@bigtractorpower]

Those were great finds.

[@coryfritz295]

Great video! Loved that Peterbilt 379 pulling that Meyer wagon!!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍

[@andyharman3022]

This video runs the entire range from the 925 hp Claas, to the 95 hp John Deere. The self propelled harvesters powered by the Detroit Diesels made the same amount of noise, whether they were chopping corn or not!

[@remmiemax3624]

Super 😎👍! Brought back memories of the days I used to do Corn Silage Research and the Fox Chopper, my Buddy bought one & made a lot of $ opening up fields for pull-type choppers. Merry Christmas!

[@greenthumb6875]

The old fox just goes, too bad AC went out long time ago. I could see the sweat, or at least feel it going down my back.

[@jankotze1959]

The Hesston and Fox are awesome unique machines, thanks for sharing, very nice

[@bigtractorpower]

They were extra nice finds this year by my friend John in Wisconsin.

[@markreetz1001]

My favorite was the Fox. The Hesston was kind of funky. I guess I like the old school ones.

[@sidewinder7371]

Pull types are my favorite this what we had growing in the 80s.

[@enshuusa9600]

Worked in product engineering at Worked at Ford new Holland as well as Sperry new Holland before they got bought out by Ford The Wopper chopper was running way to slow? We tested as well other manufacturers were field tested at our facility. The tear down to see the inner works was enjoyable see. The sounds are great to hear.

[@marvinmclachlan1395]

New Holland 880 is what I grew up using and badger forage wagons pulled it with a John Deere 4450 also had a New Holland model 30 blower filling silo hooked to a John Deere 7600

[@scottpykare801]

Very cool Jason. Some of those harvesters are just beasts!! Quite an appetite for corn/hay!!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@kladpapier]

I love these end of year videos!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍. Several more on the way.

[@arzamumma1202]

WOW.....remember the old days, back in the 40-50's we had a GEHL one row PT pulled with Massey Harris 44 Special filed two 40' silos seamed like took for ever to fill the silos. Today with a 12 row machine could fill in one day !!!!!!! Call it progress !!

[@nikolaiploug5519]

Oh...a yellow fendt, that's why it can't go any faster 😂😂

[@Blackwellll3066]

Alot of cool choppers

[@tonyburelle6633]

These were all great, thanks

[@mirrorimagecattleco]

I really like those dion choppers. Would like to have one someday.

[@bigtractorpower]

Dion builds an impressive chopper. They are neat to film.

That little Fox 6600 was really cool and I like the unique Hesston

[@bigtractorpower]

They were good classic finds this year.

Great work.

[@michaelwhalen4072]

That newer head on that JD 5830 is good idea to keeping good old machine going.

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a good combo for sure.

[@ronaldstrayer580]

Thanks for another great video Sir. Merry Christmas to you.

A farmer not to far away from me had a self propelled fox chopper like that except his was a open station 😁👍👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

[@johndavison7441]

Great stuff! 8 people mustnt like choppers😆

[@ThatOliverGuyChris]

They're the kind of people that take 20 items through the 10 items or less express lane.

[@bradolsen9981]

Thank you for your video merry Christmas happy new year

[@bigtractorpower]

Merry Christmas.

[@martingardener90]

Very interesting to see that Versatile standard tractor, are there many in the states? Would be very interesting to see how they unload these trailers - presumably into tower silos?

[@scruffy6151]

👍👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you Scruffy.

[@stevenstart8728]

Interesting. Silage isn’t much of a thing in our area. And corn is pretty rare here too. Those corn crops must yield a lot of t/ ha.🇦🇺👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Typically farms are looking for 22 to 25 tons of corn per acre in Silage.

[@brianpritt4154]

Boy the Detroit diesels stand out!!

[@bigtractorpower]

They sure do.

[@jurgenthomas5993]

The biggest BigX with it's 24 l - 12 cylinder - engine is a monster, it chops also all those other harvesters.... But it starts at 540.000€, so you have to chop all day long to earn your money.

[@waynehackett2592]

The best forge harvest is 708 UNI-System for not only a harvest it’s all so a corn picker a combine and snow blower In one.

[@jamieshields9521]

Like watching BigX 1100 at work cutting corn silage but I do like Claas. Interesting seen 1038 with nearly 400hp pulling forage harvester as Krone has forage built to hook onto 3 point linkage n operating in reverse drive for 1038 n bigger brother.

[@bigtractorpower]

The high capacity Dion Forage Harvesters have been growing in popularity over the past few years here. The 3pt mounted Krone would be neat to see.

[@theatlanticdairyman7917]

I run a 2014 John Deere 7210R pulling a New Holland FP230 and Miller pro high dump

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice set up. I like pull type choppers and dump wagon combos.

[@TofsrudCubing]

You made a spelling mistake. You said 2019 and not 2020

[@bigtractorpower]

Last year’s title. Thank you. Fixed

[@robertschoenborn8413]

Nice variety✌👍

[@bigtractorpower]

It was a good year of filming.

[@adrianchetwynd1334]

@@bigtractorpower @ 6:11 minutes in, was the driver drunk?

[@bigtractorpower]

No he was squaring off a point row. The White 8710 with Dion was in the same field. The pull grabbed the pint row pass.

[@adrianchetwynd1334]

@@bigtractorpower What is a pint pass row?

[@MrMagnum7220]

I ran the same 5830 chopper with the same 4 row small drum head. Great head but the JD chopper was.....eh could have been better. Get hot quick, pain to change KP and auger bed, sharpening the knives was an ordeal, had to take half the knives out to get 3/4” cut.

[@udo5479]

400 hp Tractor for a pulltype Harvester...amazing......here in Germany you see none pulltypes...

[@familyvlogs9105]

Have you run across any Deere/Dion pull types yer?

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes several Dions.

[@spliceoncharlie]

4:40 Funny moment Almost looks like the dog gets run over/ pulled into the machine, and then you start hearing that bone jarring sound as larger chunks get thrown into the wagon.

[@koenmarist7857]

For me the best is john deere

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@RichJ_]

Do you have the Krone BigX 1180 in the US ?

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1180 is offered in the US but I have not had the opportunity to film one yet. Claas and John Deere a fairly dominate in the market here.

[@jasonreber4101]

Our neighbor has one in mantorville minnesota

[@piperdoug428]

No.7 was very anticlimactic. Always been a Jaguar guy.

[@bigtractorpower]

The Whooper Chopper was a monster in its day. First 6 row corn chopper on the market.

[@traaaprapp8273]

claas is the king of choppers, krone second position claas and new holland have best combines, but new holland cr have too big fuel consumption
