I make parts for this combine, the center support arm that's right in the middle for the head that you can see in the drivers seat there's 33% chance I made that one you own, perfect video to show people where assemblies I make end up 👍 but the plant I work we also make a portion of that ladder you had issues with as well 😅

[@interman7715]

For most of my farming career I drove an open station combine ,it was dusty and hot and you had terrible sinus all day from the dusts and it was very itchy .That X9 is a beautiful machine and I would think it's a dream come true to operate one .

[@Hoserfishing]

So I was combining side by side with a 780 Lexion and me in an old Twin Rotor New Holland. Stayed right with it the entire night in the heaviest canola crop I have ever combined. $50K combine with the same capacity in that crop as an $800K combine. Crazy! Let's all admit the New Holland had a great idea that the X9 has now gone to. Twin rotary design.

[@Americanfarmer750]

You aren't keeping up with a 780 in tough grinding conditions. Canola thrashes easy. Put it in a head small grain crop or go chew 200 bushel corn and show me the sample and loss between the 2. I've owned a 750 legion for 10 years. Nothing compares.

[@Hoserfishing]

@@Americanfarmer750 Like I said same capacity in that crop. Now that should be somewhat amazing to any farmer who just spent $800K vs $50K the farmer I combined beside was blown away that was for sure. Any experienced farmer knows a rotary can't compete in tough conditions. That goes without saying??

[@Americanfarmer750]

It's not a 800k combine!!! The new series are that much. Your comparing a 780 that is all of 7 years old. Lexion isn't just a rotor combine it aps, traditional cylinder with impeller and 2 rotors. Check your facts

[@Hoserfishing]

@@Americanfarmer750 Actually get your facts...I asked the farmer what he paid for it and it was $800K or I wouldn't have said so. While you are at it learn to read. I said a rotary can't compete in tough conditions and was referring to the New Holland not the Lexion which I happen to help fix in the field so I know exactly why it is better in tough conditions.

Seems like a good number of people been having problems with them. When they work. Pretty good. A farmer by us demoed one. It brokedown during the demo. Some been having good luck though.

[@Hoserfishing]

There is no doubt that the X9 has capacity in small grains as PAMI in Sask, Canada proved getting 60% higher capacity in side by side testing against JD previous biggest best model. Having said that all manufacturers are struggling with quality control and a downright shortage of quality workers building these machines. X9's are great once set up by experienced properly trained personnel but they have been having quite a few growing pains getting there.

Look forward to seeing the new head cut on the ground in flex mode for beans. Dont see how it can work as good as a hydraflex. Lots of people run them ridgid even in beans because they dont have the float figured out. Drop the cutterbar and its just dead weight.

[@lrruschfarms6352]

I’m interested to try it not sure how I’ll figure it out I’ll probably have to get with Ron from Hartung’s and see what he says on it

[@lukevenghaus903]

Got a Hd45f last fall, absolute nightmare in beans. We don't have the back gauge wheels on ours, don't know if that would have helped or not. Think we had 4 different techs from different locations try to figure it out and never could get it right. Ended up locking cutterbar rigid and taking pressure off the wings to the point the very outside was leaving beans but the only way we could get it to float. Didnt bother trying before noon, we were done before the sun went down. Supposedly they've solved the problem but we've yet to get a call about what to update/change

[@stirv6462]

@@lukevenghaus903 yep, that's what I've heard as well. We have one coming for fall and I don't see how it'll even work. I talked to dealers in Canada and they said don't buy the flex, you won't use it. The ridgid portion can act just like a macdon, where the float is controlled but once you drop the cutterbar it's just dead weight. I called Dave Moline at deere to ask about it and he treated me like a shithead and said I don't even know what you're talking about. They know.

[@ethanschultz960]

@@stirv6462the macdons are a better header

[@stirv6462]

@@ethanschultz960 Not entirely. I have both. The HDF is far more convenient with the float mechanisms being hydraulic. Just zero setup and adjustable from the cab. But the macdon is better I'd say overall. Getting short beans getting more beans the macdon wins. Deere wings really drop nicer, the wing balance never quite let's our macdon drop. The deere drops as it should.

The point is that "maybe" the problem is not so much with the new X9 but the cost of the new X9 that this young farmer is still having trouble getting used to? I'm laughing and snickering at this "kid" and his new "overpriced" toy, but I'm also laughing and snickering at a much younger, more foolish me.

Agree with the More Sunlight and Intercrop planting method of corn and soybeans. They often discuss it on “Total Acre Farming” on RFD TV. More carbon dioxide from cars likely does cause trees to grow faster in cities, but rural farmland does not receive the high concentration of CO2 emissions like you would find along densely populated city streets.
