Two John Deere X9 1100 Combines with 16 Row Corn heads Harvesting a 640 Acre Field in Illinois

[@perrywollam8981]

The guys running those combines are a well practiced team. Cart drivers also love watching a good team. Working together

[@tony98discovery]

Yes, I appreciate agricultural machinery operators. They are a group that works very well together.

[@marcusjames3814]

Mike my friend absolutely 💯 amazing 👏 u done it again capturing our big class 11 X9-1100 combine harvesting corn wit our JD-14X 13.6 liter power tech pss 830's diesel engine wit twin vgt wastegate turbo chargers rated at 690hp to 743hp max at 1,900 rpm's most farmers have turned there combines horsepower back up to stock horsepower of 690hp to 743hp on our X9-1100's in stead what we at deere had them at for 2023 603hp to 690hp that's were the problem comes in at a bunch of our customers are complaining about the lost in horsepower cause there dumping on the go there kilowat meter would be in the red!!!

[@justincase2830]

Good video Mike! Beautiful section of land. No fuel truck and no service truck. It was magical and worth another view!

[@supercuda1950]

Poetry in motion. Again American workers show how we get more done with less. Great video and great harvest.

[@ScottPykare]

That is one huge field. They definitely need 3 grain carts and a lot of trucks to keep 2 X9's with 16 row heads moving.

[@tmeyer2022]

Simply Amazing. I can remember my dad pulling a 2 row picker with an Intermational Super H tractor with a trailing wagon picking ear corn for shelling later. Then, in the late 1950's he bought an IH Combine with a 4 row corn header and an 8 ft wheat/soybean header. Combines of that day didn't have a climate controlled cab. He would have to button up his long sleeve work shirt, wear a bandana over his mouth and nose to avoid breathing "most" of the dust. You can't imagin just how dirty he would be at the end of the day. No semi's No grain carts, no grain bin storage, haul it all to the elevator with a 1951 Dodge truck with a 10ft grain bed. Old times were truly different. 😎

[@wayneroland8220]

That farm must own a lot of land. Have all that equipment. They know what they are doing harvesting.

[@DonWelter]

Takes a well-coordinated effort between the combine and cart operators...and a huge fleet of trucks to keep it all moving. For the volume of grain moving out of the combines and carts, definitely need to be on-target!!! Even with our 40 yr old machine, need to keep a close eye out when unloading into a parked wagon!!!

[@aga1nsty0u]

that 8R with them wide tires sure looks nice

[@KhathuMunyepuli]

Turning an old playground into a heavy machinery adventure park was so yesterday. Today, we're turning it into an agriculture machine wonderland. Let's plow through!

That is one efficient team! Bet they knocked that out fast. Impressed with how fast those X9s unload too. Great video Mike!

[@marcusjames3814]

our big class 11 X9-1100 combine can unload at 5.3 bushels a minute

[@marcusjames3814]

Our class 10 X9-1000 can unload at rate of 4.6 bushels a minute

[@chrisosterhoudt1767]

Absolutely excellent video, very refreshing that you don’t talk or narrate the video, rather you let the equipment speak for itself.

[@jeffreyhoover2105]

Mike this was a really good video I can't imagine harvesting 16 rows of corn at one time . Not mention in a field that is one mile long that is amazing . I would love to have a ride in these new combines they have today . Just to imagine how much technology goes into one of those combines and to handle that much corn at one time is just amazing . Thanks again Mike for all the work you put into your videos . I never get tired of watching them God bless and keep up the good work

[@ViXciter]

Hello. With which speed combine can run with 16 rows header? What is the power of combine?

[@dcw1540]

Very impressive Mike.thanks😊

[@tamiller84]

Great Video - is that dance called the Hokey Pokey :-) You put your left auger out, you put your left auger in, you put your left auger out and empty it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you shift your rows over, that's what its all about.

[@tfs4499]

I think they've done this before! Great video! GOD BLESS our farmers and ranchers!

[@mikebutcher6452]

Watching them open a field is quite different than when my grandfather did it walking between 2 rows followed by a team of horses and picking and shucking then tossing the ears into the wagon the horses pulled.

[@ryanharter3411]

Technology has came a long way. My great grandfather used to do the same thing. Then bought a cabless picker before retiring.

[@burtzorn4059]

Sure is nice to have two machines to punch through them mile plus long rows. My boss back in the day had one machine an 8820. Always had some loss doing it with one. They sure do a slick job. I ran the cart tractor a John Deere 4640 fwa quad range with a John Deere 500 cart It was bought from the supplier that built the Dveere cart so it wasn't green .

That 2590 Brandt grain cart fully loaded must be pushing 180-200k lbs. It's impressive how quickly that tractor can pull that beast. It's also impressive how fast those combines are going through that corn. Are farm semis exempt from weight limits?

[@Beyonder8335]

I believe they have a higher one during season

[@tomcander3669]

Not in Ohio...you're allowed 5% over the legal gross coming out of the field

[@XLFarmsProject]

With two harvesters of this size, why doesn't the farm use a Walkabout Mother Bins (4000-bu of in-field grain storage), for instance?

[@tumbleweed4185]

They have 5,100 bushel of storage with the 3 grain carts and everything is mobile. One less step than augering through a mother bin.

[@agrodrone2022]

Fantastic video!

[@TheBiggRiggz]

2 questions, #1- what is the goin rate for either a combine operator or a grain cart operator? #2- if i just walked on to one of these farms and said "hey, i wanna run a grain cart for a day or two or a week", what are the chances they'll tell me to pound sand? I can drive just about anything, been doing it over 20 years. I think the harvester would take me a couple minutes to figure out, but after that I'm golden.

[@staudtj1]

This square mile of corn is probably about 7.5 million pounds . . . Wow!

Does using a 16-row corn head like this really make a big difference in harvest time? Does it significantly improve efficiency?

Can you tell me what makes Claas combine grain tanks so much bigger than all other combines

Non farmer here. How many acres would it be for that 1 mile by 16 row head? And how much corn do they normally pick up while unloading to the cart? Amazing video

[@tomcander3669]

About 5 acres

[@michaelmullins1290]

@@tomcander3669 thanks. Very interesting machines.

[@NitaChoctaw]

VERY GOOD

[@armchairgeneral7557]

Very impressive operation. The x9 are eating a lot of corn! Do you know if they were pushing the marketed 7000 bushels per hour rating? Second, I was a little surprised that 10 trucks struggled to keep up with 2 combines. I figured distance between field and elevator, but noticed the trucks were only about 3/4 full. Any thoughts on that?

[@farmhandmike]

Trucks were not being filled to the max because they have to stay under 80,000 gross I imagine. Staying legal. I'm not sure on the bushel per hour here but I know one farm with an X9 cranking out over 6500 bushel per hour. I'd say these guys would be doing the same.

[@drewl4762]

If one combine is running 6500 to 7000 bu/hr instant then they together are probably somewhere around 12,000 hr actual. That is a truck load every 5 minutes. If the trucks have a 15 mile drive one way that's around a 40 minute round trip meaning each truck is doing 1,500 bu/hr to the bins, that 15,000 an hour with all 10 running. It doesn't take but a small hold up here and there for the combines to get ahead of the trucks. As far as filling the trucks I'm sure all the carts have scales in them to get the truck filled where they like them which looked to be around 1,000 bushels because the 1100 grain carts where emptying the whole cart in a truck

[@marcusjames3814]

and running wit a 16CF row corn 🌽 head at 6.7 mph at 1,900 rpm's u can't beat that wit our new twin rotor separator system two 24' inch twin rotors separate systems compare to our 30'inch tri stream rotor separator system

[@marcusjames3814]

Those twin rotors separate and threash 10X times more crop material than our previous S700 series combines wit 30'inch tri stream single rotor separator system

[@TheBiggRiggz]

Ha! I didn't know that "splitting fields" was an actual thing. I play farm sim 22 with my boys. When i play with my oldest, we do the hardest settings which include crop destruction. We were pretty much in this same scenario in game, i got full & he was right behind & beside me. Took me about 2 minutes to think of what we were gunna do, and that was it

I am curious what their yields were. They have to be well north of 215 bushels to the acre. Those hoppers were filling mighty fast. I guess you need all that corn to sell to make the payments, do the Mtce., and feed fuel to that equipment. Very nice video and great field execution on the part of the operators.
