This Case IH 9260 Axial-Flow Combine Is Incredible!

[@Black9924v]

When case ih wants a promo done right, they bring their equipment to the welkers and let nick do his thing with the drone. Always top notch footage 👌🏼

[@banzaii6285]

I bet Case loves bringing a demo out to you guys. They get a heck of video with drone shots of their product in use real life with features explained. A ready-made commercial 🙂. That thing is a beast.

[@rick9811]

That beast is beyond Incredible. In my teens we ran Massey 90's and 92's, 14 foot headers and no cabs. The whole harvest crew was quite envious when dad brought a MF 750 out to the farm that he traded one my my uncles something for. 24 foot header and an air conditioned cab!

[@greghamann2099]

I can relate to that.

[@kevinhicks1108]

I learned to run combine on an old MF 510 gas with no cab, 18' header. Moved up finally to where we were running a 760 and an 860, I thought the 860 was HUGE! Everything is so much bigger these days, I don't know how you could possibly watch 50 or 60 feet of header at 8 mph I'd go nuts! With 24' of header, that 860 would run about 2-2.5 mph in 70 bushel winter wheat, I thought that was plenty fast

As a farmer I wish more farmers would understand John Deere is not our friend anymore. CaseIH, Agco many other brands support the farmers much better.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

I watch a lot of farmers all over the country. Several of them only run JD bc that’s the closest dealer/service. I can tell just by watching that Case is a much better company by how they respond when something breaks down. They replace it while the other one is being repaired.

[@bzs187]

Lets be real, none of them are your friend. At the end of the day, they only want money and software lock is a thing on other machines too. All of them brake and all of them cost you a lot of money.

[@Chandlersaalf]

Yea I like both . But I can agree John Deere need to step it up before everyone goes to case

[@buckhorncortez]

You're delusional if you think a specific manufacturer is your "friend." The dealer may be, but the corporation - no. If you have a good dealer, the color of the equipment doesn't matter.

[@robo1210]

Brand/color doesn’t matter. It’s all about your local dealer when it comes to support.

[@user-yx8bk6zo9x]

I really appreciate you getting into the weeds a little about the machines or processes. I'm sure a lot of folks don't care, or don't have the foundation to comprehend. Those of us who do enjoy it. Your cinematic intros are impressive, can't say I watch to see them, often skip it. We can see machines and scenery any day. You have a nice balance to appeal to a wide audience.

🇺🇲🙌🙌🙌 all the years I've been watching and to see the day there's three harvesting combines on your farm is awesome! Even though it's not permanent to have that many because of cost, it's amazing how far technology has come in such a short amount of time. The newer combines are expensive but once you see the increase in production and how efficient they are putting more crop in the hopper and less time in the fields, it starts to make sense of why farmers and some on farmtube are going to bigger harvesting equipment. You're getting more done with less manpower and in less time because it's often hard to find farm help in this day and age. Can't wait to see what your dad and Legarms think about the 9260 and watching to see if you guys decide to go try it on the lentils. Thanks for allowing us along for the ride during all the highs and lows in the most essential industry in America, agriculture!

[@chrishann5714]

Praise the Lord for the Rain! I thought the same on 1979 when the neighbors got a 1480 combine and 20 ft head!!! Massive

[@justat1149]

Last year for corn/soybean harvest, we had a Case tech come out with a (disguised) 8260. They ran with our 3 8250’s the whole time. I didn’t get to run the machine but once, moving it from the farm to a field, but the 1200 monitors made a *huge* difference compared to the 700 in the older machines

Can confirm the AF11 is a monster. We got to demo one last fall before they came out. It ate 100 bushel + Milo like it was nothing

Great video. Drone and music, fantastic. Your knowledge of combines is unreal. Thank you for sharing

[@rdyardie]

The latest combine is impressive. It will be interesting to see if you can use all the horsepower from the big engine. My grandparents used to be Massey people decades ago. Then again they used to use horses. One off the Masseys used the old Case steam engine whistle to signal when the combine bin was full. Hang on, two combines used to hold about 100 bushels, . . . together. Yes, we have come a long way. The choice of music is very nice. The old Ford flathead was called "Beulah". . . . forget the comparison with what "she" could haul compared to your International truck. Your dad likely knows where "Beulah" is found in the Bible. Keep up the great work. Welker Farms does great work.

Prayers to you guys. Everything happens for a reason and hard times build character and keep us true to who we are. You can't have good days without bad ones. Wouldn't be life without all of them. In the dark one day but in the light the next. 🙏

Great credit to Scott and Nick, you've done such a great job over the years.The fact that you can just "call up your friends at IH" and get a state of the art combine with matching header is enormous! I bet you sell a lot of combines for your benefactor. Well Done, God Bless!!

I agree with the rest of the students. Nick is a great teacher on the differences of combines and he really helps us to appreciate all the nuances. Thanks Nick.

[@LMDProductionsOfficial]

Some additional info about the size classes for anyone wondering. The legacy combines used a number system where the first two digits was the series/family of the combine and the last two referenced the size of the machine. So for example, the 2344 was the smallest of the 2300 family, and the 2388 was the biggest. 1420 was the smallest, 1480 was the biggest, etc. The issue with this naming system was that the size number was only relative to the other combines in the family. It had no direct correlation to global combine class sizes. The 2388 is a class 6 combine, but the 88 number would suggest it is a class 8. The 2366 is a class 5, but the number would have you believe it is a class 6. Case IH decided to revise the number system in 2003 with the introduction of the 8010 (true class 8, series 10). In the current system, like Nick said, the first digit is the size class (which now aligns with global size class standards) and the last three digits are the series/family. So the 7120 is a size class 7 in the 120 series, the 6150 is a size class 6 in the 150 series, and so on. Case continued the legacy combines with the old naming system all the way through 2008 (ending with the 2577 and 2588) while simultaneously phasing in the new naming system from the 2003 8010 forward. ALL of their production combines from 2009 onward use this new naming system, with the exception of the AF11, but that one is fairly obvious which size it is. Stellar video Nick.

Great information! Thank you!

You were saying that the new combine is 1 & 1/2 of yours. That’s pretty much how Brian Brown explained why the traded in 2 combined for 1 large one. Like your farm, it’s basically 3 guys doing all the jobs, trying to keep up. Makes sense to me.

Out in the plains they have to run multiple machines to cover more acres. Welkers farm about 3x the acres browns do.

[@chrishar110]

It's awsome to have one big machine to work but if it breaks down hyou have nothing. If you have two smaller ones and one breaks down you still can harvest, cultivate or spray till the parts come and do it before the rain catches you. The best is to have two big ones, but that costs much more. Finally it's your choice what to do and take your risks.

[@gutsngorrrr]

That's a very nice bit of kit and makes total sense, when you can clear si much more, quicker and come away with a cleaner crop and less of it out the back. The AI part if this takes a lot of the hard work and stress out of the running the machine too.

My compliments to you for a fantastic video with the drone. Wow!!!!!!! I know currently you are not in the best of wheat but hopefully other fields will be better!!!!!! Glad you got some moisture although I know you would like more. A little rain is better than nothing at all. Prayers for more rains!!!!!!! Thanks for showing us the new 9260 combine.

[@tmlf1239]

When the AF9 is widely available I don't see much reason for the 9260 to exist. In fact I predict the 60 series will be the last of the flagship combines. Makes more sense to come out with an AF8 to round out the line. The heritage series remains popular and goes up to class 7 already. So in the future class 7 and below will be heritage series and class 8 and up will be AF series. Flagship has had a good run, but the AF is better in every way as far as separating and cleaning capacity.
