It is the first day of the 2018 wheat harvest in Western Kentucky. Big Tractor Power is out in the field with 8 John Deere class 9 combines with 45ft MacDon Draper heads, 4 John Deere 9420R 4wd tractors and Kinze carts. We will climb up in the cab of the John Deere S790 and learn about how the combine works.
I like the fact that Matt is commenting, I think the first time you talked openly with one of the guys? Very nice!
Glad you enjoyed it. I have a video from corn planting with the operator talking about the Case IH 2150 corn planter.
bigtractorpower You are right, I forgot about that video. Great videos as always, getting close to 100k subscriber's....... congratulations!!!!!!
One thing I would like to see more of for sure. It's always pretty cool to hear the operator/farmer's perspectives of the machine and/or the crop and processes. That's all in addition to your great narration of course.
Thank you BTP for showing and information on these new machines.
You are welcome. More on the way.
Thanks for the video, BTP. It's almost mesmerizing to watch all the moving parts of the operation at once.
I like wheat season for the same reason.
Nice video. Would love to see the storage facilities back at the farm. Maybe a tour?
I'll bet you got some chaff in your shirt when you got on that machine! I think the draper header is the way to go on these giant widths. The feed on them is so smooth and you don't have the auger to worry about with bunching and feeding, or wearing holes through the bottom of the platform.
I passed a group of custom harvesters headed to Texas 2 weeks ago with a sommelier set ups. Nice video as always!
Thank you for watching. It would be neat to see custom cutting.
Can’t wait for closer view on both machines, 1105 cart servicing of tracks and it moving parts👍 I service J & M, Finch chaser but never Kinze or Blazer.
9:23 Perfect wheel sync
My youngest son (1, 1/2) loves your channel
That is great to hear. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic your videos are great once again thank you very much 😁😁
Thank you for watching.
Even though it is spraying time, I still watch harvest vids
Thank you for watching. The 2019 wheat harvest is almost complete here in Kentucky. How is your crop growing so far? Wheat harvest is one of my favorite times of year.
bigtractorpower, they are OK I guess. The wheat and canola was slow to get going, so it is behind. It was dry for a while, so it couldn't grow. It was also very cold. Now it is FINALY getting rain and growing. How is the crops down there. Were you effected by the flood?
It's just amazing how advanced farm machinery has become in the past 10 years or so. I still remember when I was a kid farm and ranch machinery was very basic and pretty much anyone could hop on it and go. Nowadays you practically have to go take a computer class just to turn one on and drive LMBO
You are right there is allot of tech. It is much like using an iPad.
I miss wheat harvest
Wheat harvest is always a fun time but is also usually the most stressful with everything rolling at once. We are still looking at a week away.
Adam Rogers &
You have a great operation.
Great vids, certainly think this operation leases these machines. A lot of capital tied up if purchase this fleet.
They lease them because they put about 800 hrs on them a season and always start every year with brand new ones . They don't like down time!
Very impressive operation!
It’s a great farm to visit.
Awesome Video Keep up the good work.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
That's a great big pile of green capital.
Worth watching. One question, one suggestion. How did farmers say in 1930s with 3000 acres and the sizes of machinery back then accomplish in time the soil prep, seeding, harvesting and trucking ? It would seem they couldn't sleep or hire a town. Doing a video explaining the difference of harvesters classification, i could look it up or learn from a entertaining presentation as you provide us non farmers. Thank you for your dedication, i appreciate it.
Mark Stengel there were small and a larger amount of farmers in those days. Same amount of land was farmed but there were more farmers doing it. Now Machines have replaced farmers and labor to cover the same amount of acreage.
Nobody farmed 3000 acres in the 1930's more like 160 acres
if i am correkt the classification of a combine is based on it Horespower rating in Kilowatts (or Hp cant remeber ^^), that what i read somewhere
Alexander Siebold it's how they are classified today, they use to be classified based on their cleaning capacity, which is what they should go back to to be honest. A class 7 Lexion has more capacity than a comparable class 7 Deere or Case, why I don't like the horsepower classification over classing them based on cleaning capacity.
I've seen pix of plowing the Great Plains with a dozen tractors in a row, all pulling 12' plows with a man riding each plow to adjust it as needed. However as mentioned most farms back then were a section (1 square mile, 640 acres) with the farmer living on that land.
Before "combines" they used other machines to gather the wheat on wagons, etc and then hauled it to threshers at a central point where the grain was "thrashed" and the straw and grain stored for the winter or for sale.
Farming back then was mostly a "subsistence" life-style where they grew what they needed and hoped for a surplus to sell for cash money. It wasn't until the industrialization of WWII that "commercial" farming became the standard when the machines got big enough to replace the manpower pulled away by the military and industrial jobs.
Man with all this crappy weather its hard to fathom cutting wheat .
Дуже хароше відео
How do they keep their professional staff on the farm? What do they do on the offseason. These guys seem like true Pros great video keep up the good work
Many of the people work on the farm year round.
great harvest video 👍
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
Well done sir!
Nice video thats a heck of a grain cart
The Kinze 1105 is a good machine.
bigtractorpower
Absolutely!
Not-a-farmer-here: I believe a 1600 bushels grain carts would be most appropriate to work with 8 400 bushels combines. I believe two 1600 carts could service the 8 400 combines or three 1200 bushels grain carts. Am I missing a lot since I am not a farmer ;-)
uTubed007 i think a lot of it is down to getting the combines unloaded at correct times then being unloaded so that the next time they need to be unloaded the tractor is back and ready
You stated Green sync up the combines in the field so does Green Star sync the grain carts? I know it is not John Deere but should be easy to program. The question would be does the grain cart tractor sync up also. Great videos!
They can sync if they’re fitted with GPS receivers. However we only have enough receivers for our combines and planters.
Thanks for the reply Matt
Thanks for the info Matt.
What was the yield of that wheat? Looked to me to be in the 40-50 bushel range, but it's been a long time since I looked at a wheat field.
This field was 85 bu. Good yield as it was planted late from wet fall weather. In an extra good year 100 bu. be a top yield
This fleet sure does look expensive :O
I find it odd to see fresh wheel tracks ahead of the header when you were in the cab. What's with that?
That is where the sprayer ran to apply fertilizer in the spring.
Nice vid. Unreal how much money is tied up in that equipment, they must do some custom work or something because I just can’t see a single farm justifying the expense of all brand new harvest equipment and this much of it at one time
No custom work. This is a family farm that covers allot of acres.
I had to remember that there are more farms outside of the north...
There sure are a variety of farms nation wide. They are getting ready to harvest corn in Florida and Texas.
I still find it odd that Deere went with plastic fuel tanks on the tractors.
To build with plastic is cheaper for JD.
The updated tanks lighten the tractor and improve visibility from the cab.
bigtractorpower So says Deere. In reality being cheaper is the reason. An steel tank can be made to the same dimensions for visibility. The weight difference is fairly negligible, and that doesn’t make sense when the tractor then requires and additional 4,000 lbs of wheel weights. For example the Case IH Steiger uses the tank as a frame component for additional strength. In the long run the plastic tank isn’t as durable and less economical.
Got any proof for your claims, or are you simply making things up?
Buckhorn Cortez I can only go with what the product specialists from Deere told me. All makes have things that they have done and would like to keep secret.
Great video and machinery!! Why do they cut the straw so low?
Thank you for watching. They plant soybeans as a second crop behind the combines.
I notice tracks in the field just a head of the combine what run over the wheat and knocked it down
Jimmy Frank Strain probably a sprayer or fertilizer spreader.
Who paces who, combine paces with cart or cart paces with combine? It seems the combines are traveling slow than in the past, or is it just me??
The cart matches the combine. They are running about 3.5 mph. They run faster in corn.
bigtractorpower thanks
How big is the auger on the Kinze 1105 wagon?
I will have to look that up for a feature video on it.
How much fertilizer is put down for the wheat
I am not sure. Wheat follows corn here. The corn is harvested in August. Dry fertilzer is applied in September and the stalks are disked under. The wheat is drilled in mid October. In January nitrogen is sprayed on the fields. I am not sure what the rates are but hopefully this time line helps.
what is its price
I think the base price on an S790 is $522,000.
What is the price of John Deere S 790?
I am not sure. It’s several hundred thousand with the header. JohnDeere.com has a build your own section that would give a price.
Just went on the site and looked at the build your own tool. Base price without header and other additions is $512,361.00.
Nice
Thank you for watching.
how many tonnes / hectare is 66 bushel/acre?
wheat weighs 60 pounds per bushel and if memory serves me right there's about 2.3 acres to a hectare so about 4 and half tons per acre at 2000 pounds per ton
thanks you. isnt that a bad yield?
I'd be pretty happy with 66 bushel wheat, these guys can plant a second crop of soybeans in that field now.
Cool vid. Sorry looking wheat crop. Glad I don't have to make payments in equip. with that wheat....
The wheat is fair this year. It was 90-100 last year. This year it 65-75. The good news is all the wheat ground is planted into soybeans right behind the combines so the field makes two crops in one year.
Mike,what's the wheat turning out.
I am not Mike. Are you thinking of Mike Less? The wheat was around 85 bu. This year. A long wet cold fall delayed seeding three weeks and a cold winter and spring delayed growth. Normally we would hope to see 95 to 100 bu. wheat. Thank you for watching BTP.
The crop looks slightly thinner this year. How’s the yields this year?
It is. Mid 60s to mid 70s. It was extra wet in the fall and wheat was mudded in three weeks late and the spring was cold and wet.
bigtractorpower at least you had moisture. We had good moisture in the fall but our winter and spring were so dry. Didn’t get rain till mid May and even then it wasn’t even an inch of rain. Our dry land wheat will be any where from 15-50 bpa. We farm in SW KS.
That I buy far my dream set up!
Here I was happy to have the air conditioners fixed in the 9600 and 8820.
An 8820 and 9600 are way up on my wish list to film. Awesome combines. Is your 8820 a green or yellow top?
bigtractorpower, It is a green top Titan 2.
Very nice.
How many bushells per acre? And How many per hour?
The yields so far in the region are mid 60s to mid 70s. The fall was wet and much of the wheat was mudded in three weeks late. I am not sure how many bushels an hour. I am sure it’s allot. These combines clear off a field fast.
65-75 @ $ = no money made.Rain this eve = feed wheat
Are in WKY?
👍
