the sheer vastness of your farm is incredible. very interesting to see
Well, so far it is starting out better then last year. You didnât plug the back end. Very very nice machine
Yields are 5 times better than last year. That's encouraging!
5 times allmost nothing is something
Mike, ya have a great attitude for such a small crop. Bravo, young man.
Demco makes a extension for the x9 combines. They tested there designed on the x9 that we had sold to one of our big customers.
Super jealous!!! You guys are very lucky! Hope harvest turns out good for guys.
I spent the whole time looking out for rocks! Loved it too haha
Have a safe harvest.
Mike needs to put a charger in each piece of equipment he owns so that he doesn't have to forget to bring one along all the time!!
he'll have a very specific excuse as to why he doesn't do that
He just needs to do what I do-stick it in my lunch kit so it's always with you.
He'll end up with em all in one machine.
I'd be leaving them pathetic crops for snow catch. Absolutely no business running around with a jd x9. Maybe sell out and move to alberta. Clearly u guys have the $ to do so. I just want to know how ur dad made a billion dollars cause u guys spend money like I drink water, and I'm one thirsty son of a bitch. FML.
@@joshuadoll9000 what happens when he forgets his lunch? Lol
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan thanks for sharing your great videos
congratulations with the new x9! And In-Field Data Sharing đ€©đ€©
Yes! Its Fri and I didn't feel like working yet..lol. Lets watch Mike!
We spent last year here in ND cutting 5 to 25 bu wheat. Not fun at all! Luckily this year was much better. It's time to step up to the best combine out there. New Holland cr đ
Mike,
I know you mentioned this a few videos back, but if you could work in a clip or review of Brian's paved runway, that would be awesome.
Keep up the good work
Oops, my bad; I should've watched this video a little farther!
Maybe when he's all done.
We always put small hopper extensions and a micheals hopper cover doesnât extend it by much but great if it starts raining just roll the tarp over can leave it full
Your videos are great Mike. Big ups from good old Alberta!
We have problems with too much moisture here in north EU. It has been raining most of summer and we got good crop. But now its harvest time and still keeps raining like every other day. Last week we got 100mm of rain i one day and yesterday, last night and now as we speak we got thunderstorms and all crop is down. No hail damage luckily.
Where are you located in Europe, l am from the Netherlands, we had great circumstances when harvesting the crops and yields which belong to the top 3 ever and no moisture.
My spring barley was 9440kg/ha with 13% moisture.
But for the potatoes, onions, carrots it is to dry, luckily l could irrigate, but although lower yields to be expected in those crops.
Here on the east coast of Australia we have had the same problem only except for us it was the sowing season. It has been that wet that a lot of farmers actually haven't sown any wheat this year as now it is too late. It is forecast that it is going to be a wet spring so we will be in the same trouble as what you have had to endure.
Well Mike, I have to say, you're looking pretty good sitting up there in the new green machine, the X9 definitely suits you! đđŹđ§
Love your videos man, brings back memories of my grandfather and his claass dominator with no cabin and me and my friend before harvest and hidden cigarettes buts in exhaust pipe, yeah imagine his face when he started up
The engine for harvest đ
Tell us how you really feel about Trudo. đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Haha there's been reference to him before about that, so I wanted to make sure people knew that I wasn't talking about him đđ€·ââïž
Let's go Castreau!
Everyone that pays tax hates him. Doesn't take someone smart to figure that out.
But I reckon Mike could at least spell it.
Trudeau's daddy is Castro. True story.
Wow 10 bushel wheat,that hurts,in Wisconsin the stubble is taller , good luck from Wisconsin
Too bad about the fendts they seemed to do a good job on grain sample plus good good capacity but they need to do some upgrades on the machines , the company needs to take your input and make some upgrades.Enjoy your videos thks for the reply on the claas makes sense.
best farming videos on youtube . keep it up
In the United States when a new combine is purchased it comes with a operator's manual they include these so the combine operator can read this to understand the different functions and switches to operate the combine
That one wouldâve too
Are you saying Mike can't read
@@oliver-ec9mv yes Iâm saying someone running a million dollar combine canât readđ
Mike thank you so much for these video's
so i live in sweden and we upgraded from a W540 18 foot header to a T560i with a 625X header and im having a terrible time trying to scan for holes, rocks and sticks at just 3mph, cant imagine how it feels in a 50 foot header going 7 mph
Lovely start to the season đŹđ
Excellent showcase of the x9 especially something I can't afford. I hope your other crops get better
at least its a crop that it can actually do the acres per hour they are claiming lol
Good luck with harvest
Demco offers a kit to get the xâs up to 650bu of capacity. We have it on ours. Power folds with the existing system
We're rocking demo's kit on our X's too never going back to anything different
Note:different kit for the 1000 and the 1100.
Yeah so we ordered a Claas 8900 last summer and the guy down the road had just bought a X9 1000 at the same time so we were comparing them last fall in corn we run 20â row with a 24 row head it the X9 could almost hold its own next to a 8900 I was very impressed. Other than the hopper 100 Bushels smaller and bought 200 hp less itâs a hell of a machine. The only noticeable difference was the cleaning capacity the Claas is still by far bigger than anything else and has a 16.2 L rated at 790 Hp instead of JD 13.6 rated at 603 HP was really only thing I didnât like it needs a little more power with a 24 row chopping head.
@@crandonborth Max hp on X9 1000 is 645 so 145 hp difference at max power probably enough considering its cleaning capacity is less. The 1100 is 603/ 690 max. How big do they need to get?(Is a 75 ft head or 24 30" corn head practical for enough people to go even larger)
@@lynwessel2471 75â probably not but two 45â put together might be. Where Iâm located 45â is plenty on soybeans and wheat at 80 bushels is to much to efficiently go thru the feeder housing. Corn 24 rows 20â spacing is the limit especially on a chopping head that head alone probably take 200 HP. Weâve already get noticeable lose with our 8900 at more that 4.5 MPH in 300 Bushel corn.
Very nice âGreen Machine â. Thank you Mike.
Charging cords are cheap. By 10 x 10â & leave one in each implement that you drive. Problem solved. That was easy!
Love the X9 beast! Wishing you a good harvest Mike and family.
That may be the prettiest thumbnail I've ever seen!
Last time I drove a combine it was a 7720 turbo in 1984 in winter wheat, I sure couldn't have done any video since one hand would be on the steering, other hand would be fully occupied with speed & header adjustments. Sure as hell wasn't doing 7mph. Farming seems like it's gone into the space age since I was working on one.
Not for everyone. I still drive a 9600.
Lucky youâŠi drive a 9500. Wish i had a 9600.
If you run 4640 displays in the 690/680s and the 4g JDLink it will share in the field as well
Hello Mike good start the farmingđŸđšâđŸđšđŠđ»đźđč
Great video! Thanks
Mike, the reel not going down is almost certainly a software defect. If you have a similar issue again, try battery cycling the machine (disconnect and reconnect the battery using the switch), and it might temporarily solve the issue.
The 1100 has another turbo on it for the extra power.
a nice machine the X9 but the best combine was seen at the beginning. the massey 760. will we see it again this season? Unfortunately, the harvest is already over for us.
Even the old S-series Deere combines from way back in 2012 can show you who is driving where.
You need a 4640 monitor, premium 3.0 activation and then a 4G MTG and then you have in field data sharing available to you and you can see other operators the field.
Can be done with a 2630 monitor too if you have the right activations - can even be done with non Deere combines as well if you bridge the monitors and MTGâs to those combines
Nice machine sure it will do a good job.
Magnifique vidéo et la moissonneuse batteuse x9 et la coupe est trÚs bien équipés
Haha I guessed cell phone charger as soon as you mentioned you forgot something!đđ
So did i!
I work in a company that produces hydraulic motors for JD X-series combines. It's nice to see such beasts at work :)
W USA?
W USA?
@@igiktm No in Poland
Is it Danfoss hydraulic motors?
I just spit my coffee all over the place when the deadhead part came up đđđ
Loved the deadhead comment too !
Man, such massive equipment! But the fields out there look insane in size! Wow! What is this you're harvesting!?
Durum wheat. Used a lot for pasta.
@@lynwessel2471 I just had to Google it that! Thanks for responding! Learned something new! Now I know that it's yielding horribly which is sad. Us farmers everywhere are having a poor yielding year. Was desperately dry. Here in North Carolina our corn is up and down.
Adapting the military method of preparing for a mission will insure you have everything (including battery chargers) you need before going to the field.
That âno not Trudeauâ really caught me off guard đđ
beacons, because it is hard to notice a 50ft by 15 foot thing moving at you down the road.
Its canada so for most it is and the 2 + million Chinese justin castro injected really know how to drive
It's Canada you never know
JD bent the stalk of that hydrostat lever the wrong way to the left.
The stalk to the head of it should be bent to the right to make it more user friendly.
Yeah, I liked the old one better.
@@lynwessel2471 At least the multi function buttons should not be angled at a 10 o'clock position to ones normal line of sight when looking at the controls on the head of the stick.
It would be better if they were at a 2 o'clock position.
Well Mike apart from the header hiccup and a light crop she seems to be skipping along nicely đ
It has been, yes
Mike, did you see that the new Fendt 700 series Gen 7 coming out had optional front lamenated windows?! About freekin' time!!
When you get a chance could you park the X9 next to the MF 760 to show how much Combines change
Last year he did some fun comparisons with the MF and an Ideal combine.
@@Rx37Legacy ya but the x9 is even bigger and itâs a John Deere
@@jasonclark3127 The X9 isn't bigger at all. Aside from 50 odd bhp, all the internals of the Fendt is bigger.
Wow you might have to move that whole farm north
X9 1100 uses compound turbo setup Mike aka two turbos versus only one in the X9 1000. :)
I cant believe that the new x-9s have a magnet charger lol
Twin beacons for 100% full safety. Get with the plan Mike. đ
Great video Mike
You can only do gen 4 to gen 4 or gen 3 to gen 3 for map sharing or anything as far as connecting
Mike, you could run a 60 foot head in that nice level ground and do just as good a job as you are doing with that 50 footer head.
Less passes across the field and more fuel and time saved.
Also, can the drive to the cross auger in the head be isolated as I dont see a need for it in those crop conditions.
Less horses reqd; by not driving it and a smidge more fuel saved.
Smooth 'sailing' across those big fields.
Whereâs it gonna end
@@kenhofer8063 We can't stop the advancement of technology which is good and with increasing input costs, farmers need to be more efficient.
Thankyou for the daily update
Demco makes a 180 bu tip up extension for the X9 1000 power fold hoppers. Part# 9E000063.
Wondering if you will have any harvest to sell or just keep it for seed
Mike your a super citizen in the grain business with harvesting an almost nonexistent crop
Safety first??? You're roading with a damn 50' header on. đ€Łđ€Ł Take that thing off and pull it bud!
I always keep a charger in my lunch bucket
If not in use it goes back in lunch bucket
How do you maintain a sustainable operation with such low yields? And your overhead is incredible. A ton of expensive iron, paying all those employees, and ever increasing costs associated with producing a crop. I wish you luck Mike, I really do. With regards to the X9, sometimes less is more....
Yes a very good question. Im just a hobby farmer and im just paying bills with 45 bu/acre.
Even paved the ran way! Mikes channel is interesting ! They got a lot of expensive stuff! Looks like they live well and enjoy the challenge! Wish them the best !
A lot of investors money going into the operation
Appears to be some kind of a money laundering operation. lol
Hey Mike I had a question how many people come to help combine just for harvest then leave ?
Awesome and I thought it was just me in my old claas getting reel issues even Mike with his new one does đ
This marks the beginning on some real reviews of this machine from the man himself since no one else will do it.
Curious as to how long are your fields
Engelbert Strauss makes awesome trousers
We know a bit about "Dead Head's" in the states too Mike.
What a machine, wish i could run it one day :)
Interesting with X9, I did ask JD salesman about rotor cover plates been metal n not plastic like on S model. But he said didnât realise it but theory is maybe twin rotors thrash harder which probably breaking plastics plates? Interesting that Claas Lexicon doesnât have full size rotor plates.
rotors on the claas aren't doing the threshing.. very little stress on them
Thanks for great videos. Canada and her people are wonderful! In spite of bone head leader.
John deeres had folding auger since the 60 series
the combine drives you, you just observe and turn every so often
Thanks Mike
The Trudeau roast đđđ
Thought you had a 50âHoneybee on there!
MikeâŠis the X9 1000âs horsepower enough when going up the hills? I remember last year you were saying the Ideals had more horsepower than the X9
Our X9-1000 is rated at 630hp to 690hp wit 53hp power boost when dumping on the go wit our new 13.6 liter power tech pws 830's diesel engine wit single stage vgt wastegate turbo charger u can only the get the twin turbo on our other 13.6 liter power tech pss 830's diesel engine wit twin vgt turbo chargers on the X9-1100 rated at 690hp to 743hp wit 53hp power boost when dumping on the go
If it was green and it worked out of the box you would start worrying :D good thing it started while the dealer was still there :)
Hey Big Mike You Might end up Needing Tracks for you new X9 up North since itâs really wet up there .
I love harvest time. Sorry about the crops.. đ Next year is the year..
If they start putting God first and trust in God he may decide to turn things around with the drought
You never hear Mike say if GOD WILL
@@iracole5612 ok, thats what helped the welkers then?
@@7rixee AMEN AMEN
Good morning Mike .always good videos always good explaining. Good luck with the new combines. I hope you like the x9 John Deere
Hammy and phone charger. I got both things right, in the right order. What's wrong with me? đ
I would love to do that
Grasshoppers will change your yield numbers. đđđ
Gotta love the rocks. Ugh...
Canât wait to maybe drive one of these in 40 years when I can afford oneđ
Lol
Lol yup..I'll buy it in 15 years at a auction or something
Me too I just up graded to the 6620 about 5 years ago.
How much of that electronic crap will still be working in 10 years, lovely when itâs new and under warranties. 10 years down the kind it all bypassed đź
Talk about it! Lol
man i would love to come work at your farm
How long is that field it goes on for ever đź. I donât know how many kg 10 bushels are but it doesnât look enough to pay for the fuel never mind the new combineđź hope you find something better to cut soon
272.4 kg
With year after year of dismal crops, how do you not only stay in business, but have the latest, most expensive equipment? I live in a fertile region where dryland wheat production averages over 80 bushels per acre and they are always complaining about the cost of diesel/fertilizer/equipment/parts when in reality they must be making millions.
there is a road mode on the combines u need to press it and it will do revs and speed
Beacons for safety and also it looks pretty good
is it even worth it going through that crop.. seems like theres nothing at all. Or will other fields make up for it ?
Thanks for all the videos.. enjoying them a lot. Greetings from Denmark
I think this is one of the field they are only cutting for seed because it doesnât have much to cut at all
You have to for insurance purposes
Yeah I guessed Hammy đčâ€ïžđđŒđșđž
It must be so demoralising harvesting a crop like that with all the hard work that goes in .
