Wheat Harvest near Burlington Colorado

Wheat Harvest near Burlington Colorado
In this video I am out in a field of winter wheat north of Burlington Colorado. I filmed this in July 2023. In the video this family farm is harvesting their wheat crop with their Claas Lexion 7400 combine with a MacDon FD135 draper head, A John Deere S770 combine with a Deere 936D head and a John Deere 8345RT Tractor pulling a Brent 1194 grain cart.
This is a drone only video as my time here was short and it was getting close to dark when I arrived at the field to shoot this video.

Great Video Mike!

[@froggienm71]

It was cool how the drone not only captured the distant lightning, but some of the thunder as well

Great video and beautiful scenery Mike👍

[@perrywollam8981]

Great drone footage 👍

[@marks_sparks1]

Top class footage Mike. Those storms and sunset were something else.

[@user990077]

Beautiful sky. I have lived in Alaska all my life and have never seen a big harvest underway. Learn a lot from you videos. Don't get carried away on those snow machines.

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Mike, Great video of the work and the sunset with the storm!! Very artistic! Day time/night time, the work goes on!

[@nkorpan83]

I love watching storms roll in from miles away.

[@swagzoneus]

10:00 Your videos are great!! Modern machines have helped us humans a lot at work

[@ces188charles6]

Pretty skies!!!

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Great video

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 🇺🇲👍🚜

[@JoaoPires-pd9ot]

Oi 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪

[@islamsardar4631]

Opps! You forgot to harvest some wheat plants 1:30 😂 Anyhow nice video 😊

[@farmhandmike]

That was done on purpose just to make sure viewers were paying attention. Of course they were harvested immediately after that part was filmed.

[@islamsardar4631]

@@farmhandmike hahahah! I know you must have harvested that part 👍

[@mookett]

Another great video Mike the tractors with tracks and no front wheels look strange dont see many of them in uk cheers Mike

[@DonWelter]

Seems different having a view of impending storms miles and miles away. Much different than the horizon in Ohio with treelines and hills. The drone shots give a perspective as to the sheer size of the field being harvested!!!

[@Beyonder8335]

Great video as usual Mike, That sky is really something. One thing I wonder is how do you get machine audio on the drone footage? Are you mounting a separate mic to the machine or what?

[@drisselmousaoui8363]

اللهم.بارك وزيد في ذالك ❤

[@vanrogui4819]

Olá sou do Brasil. Gosto de seus vídeos, mas precisa investir na qualidade de imagem dos vídeos, sua câmera 1080p está ultrapassada, o ideal seria uma câmera 4K ( 2160p), seus inscritos merecem uma imagem nítida em nossas TV's , dessa natureza maravilhosa. Obrigado. Vanderley.

[@sergiomarin1793]

Very nice field, how big is it Mike?

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Neat video Mike. What make of drone do you use?

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks and all my drones are DJI

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

@@farmhandmike ok nice 👍

[@HarishBhardwajFinance]

How do you irrigate such a big acreages. I'm very fascinated by the way farming happens in US. But never understood how do they irrigate these big chunk of lands.

[@farmhandmike]

This is all dryland wheat. No irrigation on this field.

[@HCH9990]

Seems to be a weird pattern in the field for harvesting the wheat! Does the combine calculate the most efficient route through each field to minimise the number of passes, or are the operators following natural patterns/boundaries in the field? (That's a hell of a sunset, too!)

[@farmhandmike]

He was cutting around a drainage in that one part of the video.

[@joescheller6680]

It's been a well known fact the most efficient use of a machine is going round and round machine is full all the time. Corners to be left when finishing the field. So much time us wasted turning Round at every end of a pass. Was always taught that way from an old custom operator many many years ago

[@sergeyragnev957]

Я бы вместо этой модели поставил lexion 8600 с увеличенным бункером 14 метровоц жаткой

[@timmyarnold3220]

It's a shame that farmers complain about crop damage to a point. But how much grain gets shot out of the combines discharge? All about money. Just saying..

[@Dusty_Dirty]

Typically less than a 1% loss out the back

[@colinnorris6037]

Why don't you take the film from miles away. It would be closer. Get closer.
