These videos make me understand different ways of farming, thanks for posting these
all those little bean plants all nestled between the wheat stalks is so satisfying
Been a while since I’ve posted but still loving the videos and learning so much. I’ve learned more from your channel about the different types of farming and reasons why than from school and 2 years of working the fields. I love the variety of farming practices that are used and how inputs and practices can be cost effective in different applications
My Greatuncle here in Eastern Colorado used the 30 ft shelborn stripper header with three 9600 combines. He used it more for its speed and also for the fact you mentioned about less stress on the combine itself.
I’m in the norther valley of California and we been using these stripper headers for the last 10 years on rice crop! Definitely recommend
Running a NH 10.9 with 40’ Mac don just finished cutting last years canola that spent the winter under a Canadian snow blanket, frost boils still coming out of the ground last week of May , what a crazy year
Here in michigan we do the opposite and cut our wheat lower than normal. This helps the planter go through the straw for better sigulation. We have been double cropping soybeans after wheat for 20 years. This year we have almost 900 acres of winter wheat. Our wheat is 3 weeks away from harvest. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
Great video, thanks. I watch a lot of farming video lately and that's how I came here. I eat a large quantity of bread and pasta from whole wheat, in the whole food-plant based diet. I also eat black beans, spinach, oatmeal, and fruits. I came to get used to the taste and enjoy it greatly. I don't have constant hunger when I ate the standard diet. Some say beans helps a lot with that. My health got way better which is why I did it. Thanks again.
Great video as always. Glad you showed the soybeans growing in the straws. We used to burn the straws then plant the beans.
By the way that wheat was mounding up in the combine grain tank, it looked a little wet to me. We run a pair of 9770's with Macdon drapers for beans and wheat. We need the straw for cattle so we typically cut pretty low and windrow the straw, then bale immediately behind the combine. Then we plant beans after if it hasn't gotten too late in the year. Our wheat usually isn't ready till late June or early July.
Have use a CVS32 for many years, plant dry land corn in wester Nebraska in the following spring saves a ton of moisture. Thanks for the videos.
Never heard of that type of header, looks very effective, definitely saves on combine wear and tear!
Thank you for this video. It's answer really good to the question I had about this way to harvest the grains. Always nice to see your video. Continue your great work!!
As always, excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to explain this, and all of the other methods. Very informative and intriguing. Thank you again, from a fellow Kentuckian.
We used our MF 3342 SP with 18ft close front or header because less wear n tear on drum n other parts of combine. We now have CaseIH red top 8010 with 40ft Draper front which improvers intake of crop. For canola we use windrower MF 9435 with 25ft that swaths into rows then CaseIH 8010 with 14ft picks up swaths. Most farmers here in Australia do this way but we have try direct cut but fail because stem are to green with canola.
Nice explanation and quite interesting to see how is the harvesting process in different parts of the world. I wasn't noticed about that way of working. Here in Spain and Europe we use typical headers that harvest all the plant (grain and straw) so we don't leave the stubble so tall. Instead of that we shred the straw and this is a way to provide the fields of nitrogen and organic material that is quite important for the direct seeding as you said. It will be great to know your productivity using this way of farming
Wow! I am very impressed with the no till system on this farm. If you're able to in the future it would be great to have information on yields per acre too. I appreciate some farmers might not want to share this information of course.
Thanks for sharing I have never see that kind of header and is always great learning.
I wouldn't haven't believed this, but I saw it first hand while I was in the Air Force and Stationed at Shaw AFB SC. The soybean crop looked great too!
Thanks for this video! Never been up close to one of these Shelbourne headers
Knowledge is power. I learn so much watching your videos.
Thank you.
Here on our dairy farm in Queensland Australia we harvest our wheat or barley with a White 8900 combine with a 22ft reel and auger grain head and leave a straw windrow in the field so we can bale it for our cattle
Another great video keep up the good work its good to see how farmers do farming in usa and im learning new stuff everytime
3500 acres in Sturgeon County Alberta. Run a 56 foot JD Conservapak air seeder pulled by a Steiger 500HD. Harvest Canola Wheat Barely Oats with 2 9870 JD combines and 35 MacDon flex headers. Canola gets swathed with a premier 2952i swather with 30 Macadon harvest header. 1200 bushel grain cart on a 9390 Steiger
we use a jd s670 hillco with 630 flex on clean small grains and beans,if the small grains are weedy we swath then use a 612 pickup head to harvest perty much all oats in sw wisc.
I love these educational videos learning about different types of equipment and methods.
great video here in central Louisiana all the wheat straw is burned before the farmers plant the soybeans.
I use a versatile pull-type swather on a 7710 Ford and an International 1482 with a pickup head on a Case IH 3594. Combine the Hard Red Spring wheat and oats that way, in West Central Minnesota.
I love Ford tractors! Run 4 of them on our horse farm. How do you like the 7710?
You do an outstanding job with making your videos, I look forward to watching the Kentucky wheat harvest every year especially the one with the multiple combines goingIn thousand Acre Fields acre fields. Here in southern New Jersey we use 925 flex head with the 9500 combine
Great video! Awesome piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!
In Overberg region of the Western Cape in South Africa we swath our wheat with a MacDon M155 with a 35ft front, sometimes even double swath the rows into 70ft windrows if the straw is to be baled and we harvest with a Claas Lexion 770 with a 16ft swathup pickup header
Excellent video, I appreciate the annoyance of showing the soy growing in the stubble, all the agriculture channels see planters in action but the result is rarely seen, thanks for sharing
Now I understand what happened in the fields just up the road in franklin, ky, looked like they just raised the header to get the top few inches.
Thank you BTP for this video showing good practice for more efficient planting and harvesting
It is an interesting process. I will try to film the harvest this fall.
A farm just north of me uses a Shelbourne head on their wheat as well then double crop soybeans into the stubble. They've done this for years and it works well on their operation. When the straw breaks down it provides nutrients for the soybeans. Great video Jason. Appreciate all your efforts and explaining why farms use certain methods. GO BTP!!!💪🤙👍😁
them guys out in west Kentucky take care of you!! they have some nice equipment and good farming practices!
We use a MacDon 35 FT Draper head to harvest beans and 8 row John Deere corn head
Love these videos the only complaint is the audio levels jump all over the place. Keep em comin!
Thanks for the excellent video and explanation. Simple and complete.
We use a Case IH 8230 with a 40ft Mac Don FD75. The combine is equipped with a Hillco leveler to allow it to harvest on the hills of the Palouse.
There is a large farm here in western Nebraska that use draper heads. the combine puts the chafe a debris into a windrow. A tractor and bailer follow behind to make large sq bails of straw.
We got a NH CR940 and we use a Case IH 35ft with a turbine wind on it very low speed on the turbine of course
That's pretty interesting, the beans look good in the wheat stubble👍
The farm I will work on harvests with a claas lexion 760 terra trac.
yes we also have the 760 terra trac with 45 ft draper head eats crop like crazy. the grain cart operator is run crazy tryin to keeo up between catching grain off combine and loading trucks
Our neighbour ran shelbourns for years but the early ones ran hard plastic combs not SSteel, he said the header was hard on front rims of combines what with extra weight and running faster
Ran stripper header back in 1999 in boot heel of Missouri harvesting rice . It’s faster than using Draper or ridged headers
FANTASTIC video, very informative! Keep on giving us the great videos with neat information.
Thank you for watching.
Some farmers use stripper heads in Aorteroa (New Zealand) Always looks like someone has driven around the field before it was harvested! They can handle big yields at speed, but the advantage is that you don't get a matt of straw on the ground that is associated with high yielding wheat crops. If you are not growing more than 3.2 ton per acre you dont need one.
Fascinating video with interesting new combine technology, but just a little curious to see how the the straw affects the harvest of the soya beans.
great video. I've always wondered about these. Looks like a slow process of harvesting wheat. What group soybeans are they planting and what was the planting date? The heat out there must give more heat units to the crop to get it to grow and mature faster?
Wow! That is so cool. Especially like the fuel efficiency, soil conservation, soybean crop protection. Is there any downside to this methodology at all? Thanks much for the before-after video sequence too
From what I understand, getting the soil microbial activity where it's needed can take time, and pest control may be an issue. There's a lot of folks who still choose to till and many who strip till, which is where they till only rows that the plants sit in. I'm no expert but there are definitely folks who have tried no till and gone back and vice versa. If you can no till however, talk about a huge advantage. Plowing is the biggest source of fuel consumption and cutting it out is money left in your pocket.
I bet the JD salesman does a little happy dance when he see's that dude coming haha
It was always like that, at least in my country. I remember when i was a kid, that we need to mow what was left.
Dont see many stripper headers in the uk, as either chop the straw or windrow it for baling for animal bedding. There are a few farms experimenting with stripper headers, but mainly use a stripper head on grass seed.
AGCO , did make a stripper header too. Not sure if they still do. You could see down in it better. With rice, the straw can be a problem.
Was wondering if the long straw promotes challenges in spraying fungicides or when harvesting the beans? Granted the threshing of the wheat is minimal but would that not make for a tougher harvest of beans with more material being fed through the combine?
Such a cool technology! I love watching it at work!
Very interesting video. First time I have seen wheat harvested this way.
Another great video - - - thank you
We use a stripper header just like this one for our rice fields that we are going to seed crawfish in then in March we harvest the crawfish till around June. We use a stripper header cause it leaves the straw in the fields and the straw is food for the crawfish.
Big ol 2388s. Out here in North Central Montana we swath every single winter wheat acre Bad Sawfly Plus we gain a couple days doing this
Very cool.
Nice informative video big T
👍👍👍
New holland cr 9.70 stripper for wheat pickup and swather for proso millet
Great video - I think stripper heads are quite popular in Australia too.
Very informal video BTP thanks!
Thank you for watching.
I combine small grass seed with a 7700 turbo using a 216 rigid platform, I would like more info on the Shelbourne Reynolds Stripes platforms
Here in Western Alberta we have to windrow our cereals and pulse crops. On a really good year we can get away with direct cutting wheat, but it's usually needing to be swathed in order to dry down enough
We have to go that with pulse crops on the Palouse. Now we spray round up on the crops instead of swathing. Is that done in Alberta too?
@@CalebJKerns it's done more in Eastern Alberta, where they don't swath as much.
How much grain gets lost with a stripper head vs. a conventional cutter head? How do they deal with all the crop trash after picking the beans what with the bean stalks and the residue from the wheat straw?
Nice video, you do such a wonderful job
Thank you for the great video
Awesome Video!!
Pretty cool way to plant the second crop of soybeans. Thumbs up !!
Great info!
Just saw one of these headers for the first time had to look on u tube to see how they actually work
Next time you are around that type of stripper head could you show us underneath it and how it looks, it looks really interesting and looks like it would have huge Benefits for being able to leave standing stock to catch snow in the winter
Running an S 790 with a 745FD Hydra Flex header
We find the stripper fronts can actually cause more wear in some parts of the combine. The shaker shoe is designed to run with a load on it but when using a stripper front the load is so small that over time they shake themselves to pieces.
That's an interesting point.
Stripper heads are going popularity in western OK too! It doesn’t seem like much, but I’d say 10% of the wheat in our region is done with stripper headers
I’ve never seen this kind before. Especially here in the UK. Our pea viners are similar to pick the pods from the plant of course.
No, you don't see them much at all there, even though that is where they are manufactured,
Yes I would like to see more videos like this
Are there a lot of farm jobs up in western kentucky?
That looks like great way to increase the value of those farms that can use it. Very cool!
It is a neat process to see.
G'day BTP very cool video.
How often does the previous season's wheat straw not decay or at least lay over so the bean head doesn't pick it up next harvest, thus increasing the the amount of material the combine has to process?
I use direct cut grain table with bizon rekord z058 :P. But accualy i just rent a combine dont have too much of grain.
How is the yield compared to last year?
I seen a few fields today and they were baling the straw and it looked like it was scalped, might have left 3 inches at most!
Good info. Makes sense.
Very interesting. An appreciation from far far away! Col, NZ.
Thank you for watching.
Amazing farming Never knew they planted right into wheat strew. Do they pivot irrigation .
Some do and some don't . It depends on their individual areas of water availability.
If interested in wheat straw, the best way is Shelbourne stripper head on the wheat that makes the stalk of the wheat have hardly any crimp or flaw then run a swather head in behind combine which is a reel, cutter bar, draper to get into throat of a machine wo a throat, whose just windows it for the baler
Chad, do I understand correctly from your comment above that the remaining straw stalks are not damaged or cracked? If that is correct, then such good quality straw has good potential for a new use that I am currently exploring. Please reply.
Brendan Doyle, California
Here in California we use the stripper headers and cut the straw with a swather
to bale it
That’s exactly what a neighbor did last week. It makes sense, he was able to get quality straw hay that wasn’t chewed up by the combine
@@jwedel1777 you lose valuable plant matter when take off the straw something you need to understand about no tilling you need to let standing straw and corn stalks decompose naturally
Joe Scheller yes, you’re 100% right. I kinda understand the no-till game, do a little bit of it myself.
What do you do for bales ?
Why do all of the machines have duel wheels spaced apart? Wouldn't it make more sense to have one wide tire or wider duels and no spacing (for example 2x 600mm duel rear wheels)? Thanks
The row crop duals are for corn harvest to help save the tires. Corn stalks can really wear on a tire and take out chunks of rubber. The row crop dual runs between the rows and reduces wear on the tire.
I have never seen a stripper head thats cool! We use conventional tables in my area!
My in-laws use a Gleaner M-2 and a Gleaner N-6 with conventional headers. There are one or two farmers in their area who use stripper heads for no-till farming.
Very cool. I really want to find the N5. N6 and N7 to feature. I was lucky to film an M2 a few years ago.
Correction 4 years later: What I thought was an N6 is actually an N5.
If you have the acres to justify them they are awsome. Here in nc I've seen grain sorghum/milo with them on hurricane pre harvest. Amazing head for high yeild double crop beans
Love this.
Thank you for watching.
Being in the Kansas wheat belt and having experience with three different types of headers cutting wheat, I would rank them as 1: Draper, 2: Auger, and 3: Stripper head. I personally would never run a stripper head in my operation. My family farms and I also work as a part time farm hand for other farms in the area and a guy I worked for last year ran a stripper head. That head and others that other run leave the worst looking fields in the entire area of Southwest Kansas, and keep in mind that with our crop rotation, that land will not have another crop planted on it in 2020, bit will either be planted in the spring or fall of 2021 in order to save moisture as our yearly rainfall is around 18" per year. The volunteer wheat that stripper heads leave behind is terrible. You could almost cut a second crop of wheat off of the fields it is so bad. And when I saw the guy go through that down wheat, I winced because I have heard horror stories of those things in down wheat, even though that is what they were first advertised at being good at in Southwest KS. I have heard that if those things hit the ground at all, it will not only break those bars in the header but will also damage the feeder house on the front of the combine. So, with all of that, I know each farm works differently and functions on different principles, but just from what I personally hear and see, I just don't trust them to cut my crop of wheat. I'll stick with any sort of platform before I try a stripper head.
Was that a 16 row or a 24 row planter
Id love to come over the water to America , to see bigger farming projects ,
Wow that’s a smart idea! Unfortunately we can’t do that double crop in Kansas because of the Weather
This part of Kentucky is right on the edge of the double crop zone. 90 miles north and it is all corn and soybeans for the rotation.
bigtractorpower ah, keep up the great work!
