- Illinois Soybean Harvest with two John Deere X9 1100 combines and 50 foot draper heads.
In this video I am out in a soybean field near Milford Illinois with a farm that is harvesting their 2023 soybean crop using two John Deere X9 1100 combine with with Deere HD50F heads. These headers on the combines are taking a 50 foot cut per pass. Running beside the combines is the farms John Deere 9R 540 tractor pulling a Brent Avalanche 2598 grain cart on tracks & a John Deere 8R 310 tractor on LSW tires pulling a Brent V1100 grain cart.
As the field was getting harvested the farms John Deere 9R 590 tractor pulling a Deere 2680H high speed disk pulled in the field and started working the harvested ground. This disk was 40 foot wide. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
This video gives a good idea of how efficient American farmers are and how they can not only feed America but also the World. American farmers deserve a big thank you. They are part of what make America the greatest country in the World.

Farming is the art of surviving mother nature, paying the bank, and feeding the world! It's a great life if you don't tire. I only wish that people could understand just how many well made decisions go into making an operation profitable and sustainable. Great videos Mike!
Did good on drone footage love watching the John Deere X9 1100 .
Perfect harvest conditions, 60+ bushel beans and those 2 big combines and the grain carts, what more could an old farmer ask for?
I bet they can knock out 500 acres in a good day. Great vid sir.
They have quite an operation there. Always enjoy watching X9's getting it done. The high speed tiller was great too. Appreciate your time Mike.
Your video is a great reminder of the value of patience and perseverance. It takes a lot of time and effort to grow and harvest melons and oranges, but the end result is so worth it. And the fact that you're able to make a living by selling them at the market is even more impressive. Keep up the great work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Seeing harvest action in the evening is great👍👍 two x9 combines knock out some acres in a day😁👍
Top notch video Mike!! Beatiful equipment there and amazing drone shots....thank you and keep up your great work!
Amazing video brother 👍
Green monsters on the field! 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Agricultural machinery is a challenge and an opportunity, requiring constant learning, adaptation and improvement to meet the changing needs and demands of the agricultural sector.😊🌿🌷
My wife was born around Milford. We were over there a couple years back to pick up a forklift we bought that was sitting at the auction house there. I just finished rebuilding the engine in it a few weeks back.
Awesome harvest video! Really nice equipment in that field.
I love your videos Mike Less I been watching you since 2018 it so good seeing all deferent farming styles all over the country thank you for the good videos over the years Happy Halloween to you as well
Thanks for another great video, Mike. I loved every minute. Watching the discer was fun. Forty feet wide! WOW! Farmers of 100 years ago would be gob-smacked. 😊
Great combination for large/flat fields. Don't know how well it would work using those large heads in smaller, irregular fields in rolling land. Definitely a productive day with ideal conditions.
Awesome harvest video
Perfect videos longe Mike
Again Mike, thanks for another impressive video from you for good entertainment for us viewers.
That X9 1100 would have no problem oushing that 62 foot GTS Brazilian head through those beans and I'd love to see it.
Good video.
Thanks for sharing the video Mike. Amazing watching all the machinery working. That's a good size operation to have 2 X9 combines. I'll never run anything like that. I started running a 45 John Deere and a 300 Massey and I went to a F Gleaner and the last combine I had was a 550 Massey. I'm just doing hay these days as I only part time farm nowadays. My cousin has a 2588 Case IH and it is a big machine for where we live in Virginia. I've got kin in Illinois and I always enjoy visiting with my farm buddies out there and seeing and helping them.
Another great video!!!
Great video Mike, we’ve been picking corn here in north central Indiana, over half done now.
You pretty much say it in introductions, always something different in your videos. Very versatile. Those were some massive machines. I traveled a few years ago in Wisconsin at harvest and I was amazed by how big the grain carts are getting. Cart by name now doesn't do it justice. It's more like a ship.
Happy subscriber 😊. 👍
SUPER ❤
Grain Eating Machines ❤
Nice video
Thanks Mike you have to cover some ground to pay for them boys
Those auger wagons are massive. Looks like they could fill two semi trailers?
The big one can with 300 bushel left over!
Where I live a grain cart like that would never get off the road it could only be a mother bin unless extremely dry no matter how big a tractor you put on it.
This Farmer don't play around getir dun Great Vid👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
Farmers who have owned the single rotor Claas combines prefer the JD X series with their twin rotors since they are laterally balanced when they are harvesting. In other words, opposite turning rotors balance themselves. A single rotor turning in one direction creates an imbalance.
👍👍
Get it? A Versatile "farmhand" (An' Mike's probably a very good one...) bringing us the "Most Versatile" content on You Tube. Love it! Mike. I say "Less brings the Most!"
😎😎
running the combines so fast 🤔
It's surreal, almost like a video game
crazy that that one combine is doing what two 25ft combines would do 30yrs ago (costs a whole bunch more than two combines tho)
That one combine is burn less fuel and less man power.
😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just curious if they are linking the cart tractors to the combines for speed or are the cart operators responsible?
Please, can you do a video explaining how a combine separates the chaff from the wheat, corn, soybeans or etc.? In a way a non-farmer would understand.
Google John Deere combines. They will explain
Yes, I could do that, but it would be interesting to see the channel's creative take on it @@jamesharrier6633
" Please, can you do a video explaining how a combine separates the chaff from the wheat, corn, soybeans or etc.? "
It would be impossible for Mike to do that as there would need to be cameras positioned inside the combine showing the various separation stages and it would be so dusty that the cameras would be unable to give enough clarity.
There are good CZcams videos of the various combine manufacturers explaining the various separation stages and I recommend that you search for them as the poster above suggested. The videos explain in detail as to how the separating machinery all works.
Are conventional drive wheels the norm on these size combines or an option ? Would have thought that tracks would be a more regular fitment ?
Tracks generally cost more money that tires. It really depends on the operation. If you commonly run of softer ground maybe they would go for tracks over tires. Also tracks generally aren't as good if doing lots of road travel between fields.
Looks like thee grain carts are putting 110,000 lbs on them hopper bottoms 🙏
I don't think those trucks could hold 110,000
@@farmhandmike lol
Video makes it look fuller than it probably is lol
I'd like to see the combines dumping directly into the trucks on the go.
The less augering of the grain that is done will mean less fines, (grindings into small particles) for the grain.
Combines dump directly into trucks on the go for potatoes, sugar beet, onions, silage and various other crops and there is no reason as to why they cant do it for soybeans, wheat etc.
Interesting idea - the trucks should also be linked into the Ag GPS system for remote control so the combine operator could optimize the semi load fill and much less danger of contacting the header. But it would probably only work in certain fields and field conditions.
Thanks for your reply.
Long straight rows would be the ideal condition for dumping on the go into trucks.
Grain carts are expensive-!
You guys should try it and start a new trend.@@jazzerbyte
" the trucks should also be linked into the Ag GPS system for remote control so the combine operator could optimize the semi load fill and much less danger of contacting the header. "
I agree.@@jazzerbyte
I've seen a few guys unload on the go into a semi trailer or truck but I don't see it ever replacing a grain cart.
Interesting idea but I couldn’t see us doing it on our operation.
For one, trucks aren’t really built for that the way tractors are, harder on the machinery, and they ride much rougher than a tractor. They also get Stuck much easier, so as soon as it gets wet things will be pretty messy.
The main benefit of a grain cart to start with is having a buffer between the combine and road transport. Instead of having to stop whenever the 400 bushel or so someone hopper fills up you can keep dumping onto the cart, which will usually last until there’s a truck. They say that a cart will be the equivalent of you adding half a combine in terms of efficiency gains.
The dockage is also pretty minimal on most grains, or at least well worth the efficiency gains. You see combines dump directly on trucks more in crops that penalize cracks and damage more like black beans.
I'm curious why I've seen more X9's with the dual front tire setup instead of the tracks. Can someone explain why? Is it just more cost effective?
I would guess tires are less expensive that tracks but tracks aren't for everyone. On the combine I'm guessing they don't need tracks for flotation on soft ground and tracks may not be as ideal for guys that do a lot of road travel from farm to farm.
where the farmer sells the soya beans?
I'm being chased around by a drone
Farming is the art of surviving mother nature, paying the bank, and feeding the world! It's a great life if you don't tire. I only wish that people could understand just how many well made decisions go into making an operation profitable and sustainable. Great videos Mike!
