The X9 Harvests Corn!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 жов 2020
- The new John Deere X9 combine finally hits the field with Onyx running the grain cart. We had some more work to do around the grain bins, and we started up the dryer for the first time this year. Corn harvest 2020 IS HERE!
The goal of the Grain Bin Safety campaign is to reduce the occurrence of grain bin accidents by raising awareness of the hazards and by raising funds to equip first responders with the tools and training needed to respond quickly when necessary in the event of a grain bin accident. The funds raised will be used to purchase Grain Bin Rescue kits and training for our first responders.

Nominate Your Local First Responders: Best point of contact at your department? What equipment does your department/responders need? Is there a specific brand of equipment your community uses as a combined effort with other local departments? Any other information you think we might find useful? Please send request to givingback@mnmillennialfarmer.com
Zach and Becky Johnson will assemble a panel of volunteers to review request a distribute donations accordingly.
Funds raised will be distributed to rural first responders to purchase grain bin rescue systems and training.

Sounds like Onyx is killing it in the grain cart and it legit makes me smile
I think we're all happy for him, both of them.
6
Who runs the grain cart? 6 runs the grain cart.
Same
I bet Grandpa is pretty proud too
So impressed with the maturity of young Onyx. He handles his responsibility like a person many years his age. I can only imagine how proud you are! Well done 6!
even if he wasnt its free labour
Maturity, and responsibility is learned from the parents. So Good job Mr. & Mrs. Millennial Farmer, and Good job 6.
You just gotta be proud of that son of yours Zack. He's driving that cart like he's been doing it for years. Best wishes and stay safe.
Glad to see your dad walking!
What happened to him?
Congrats on 100k subs!!!!!!
That was nice
8.i
@William Davis yes
I'm amazed at how well Onyx handles that machinery for his age.
Three generations in the same vid, working the same harvest...chills...got family envy!!! Thanks for the show.
I don’t farm. Never have. Prom ever will. But I love hearing about the new equipment and how you guys run your operation. Keep up the good work!!
Same. Don’t Farm, Never Have, Probably Never Will.
Don’t have an farm saveing up for an farm will make sure I get an farm
Does Onyx realize that he is most likely the "1st 10 YEAR OLD IN THE WORLD" to run a grain cart for an X9?
I'll build him a plaque 🤣🤣
6 has my vote to drive the x9!!🚀
@@danielwilliam7799 Sorry for picking your comment. I am moving it up so everyone can see it!!
man i was saying the same thing lmao kid is a beast
❤️👍🇺🇸
Onyx running the grain cart is hands down the best part of the last few videos. I know Zack is so proud hell I’m proud for him.
All fathers will agree that it makes me smile and proud to see Onyx handle that grain cart like he does. Thnx for letting us share those moments with you.....
I love that onyx is responsible enough to know when he is uncomforitable enough to ask for help great job.
I've been watching these farming videos for 2 days now. I know I'll never be a farmer but it's really interesting seeing the way it's done and I can tell it's no picnic.
Thank you!
I see alot of comments about how proud of a dad you are. But let's don't forget how proud Beck has to be and grandpa seeing something that he did as kid and now seeing his grandson carrying on the family tradition of farming. Completely awesome. Great job everyone for raising kids the proper way. Hardwork pays off
I'm proud to watch you and your son work the farm together!! I can only imagine just how PROUD you are as well. Good job sir. And "6" is doing a GREAT job!!
I have loved your videos since the beginning but you really set yourself apart with all the amazing advocacy you do for your community. Have a great harvest and stay safe.
As a lifelong first responder, I truly appreciate your efforts to get training and equipment to first responder agencies. The public has the expectation that their responders can handle most anything. The reality is, that if we have not received training from people who understand these systems we are flying by the seat of our pants. Don't get me wrong, most fire fighters are exceptionally creative when required, but there are so many hazards in the modern world that no one can be expected to have knowledge of even half.
That’s a very big smile on your face when you’re in the new machine Zach.
New Holland really had a great idea all those years ago!
Love seeing your son doing so well and liking what he’s doing!
That x9 sure eats! And it’s the best looking combine I’ve seen.
Think most of the FM blew out in that blizzard during transfer to the truck - great call! 👍🏼
Reminds me of when I was a kid and my late father used to teach me how to try and do new things with tools and machines. Though we are not farmers, still come from a line of handy people who were always better working with their hands then in an office. One of the many reasons I've been subscribed and watched for so long. As always great video always learning something new.
i jave been following for a while. as another old ager, i was worried your dad's surgery would heal. he rollied the dice and won. thank you lord
I know zero about farming like this but I enjoy the videos and thanks for feeding America!!!!
"Gonna take me an hour & 12 minutes to get up there with this leg".. I unexpectedly spit out my coffee with that one... 🤣🤣
Can you tell where I get my sense of humor 🤣
Loving it Zach. Keep it coming. Long live John Deere nation!
Zach it makes even me proud seeing a young man like him operating and working i can only imagine what you feel get it kiddo you got this in no time he will be in the combine
Lovin these harvest videos I can’t wait till this time of year to watch y’all harvest learning more and more each time y’all harvest great family and keep up the podcasts love listentin to them in the mornings while I’m gettin ready
Every time Onyx pulls under the auger almost brings a tear to my eye. How awesome is that!
Zach it is so awesome that you get to work with your dad and now your son, truly a blessing.
It genuinely makes me happy to see a 11 you old driving a grain cart. The future is goood
Great to see your Dad walking and fantastic to see Onyx running that grain cart!
I really look forward to these videos.. so cool to see Onyx helping out.. I remember been his age driving tractors and loving it.. stay safe guys
Maybe it’s just me but who else waits to see the clip at their very end, right after the outro! 😂
*millennial farmer posts*
Me “well I guess my cows are gonna have to wait to get their food”
cow abuse
Same here, chickens can wait
The Vegetables Males
@@lucasaccount573 blame lefty
@@megapixal1 lol yes it’s lefty’s fault
I grew up in a city and can’t relate to anything you do, but I just wanted to say thank you for all you farmers do, none of us would be able to make it without y’all.
That combine is an absolute monster! By far my favorite combine on the market today! Can’t wait for more videos on it. Glad your pops is doing better!
We’re hoping to finish our bean harvest today and move to corn
I can already tell this video is going to be awesome, keep up the great work and I hope you and your family are doing well. Also, hope your dads knee is getting better.
Thanks Zack for everything you've been doing.
Zach thanks for what y’all do it means a lot for us watching
I have no connection whatsoever with farming and I'm all the way in UK but man I do love your videos. And enjoy seeing all the new machinery that you get to test. Stay safe, you and your family.
Sees that he posts again do my little dance then watch furiously
I love your videos! Thank you for helping shed some light on rural America and the farming community ! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you for giving us your time.
This past year I had noticed there was a ton more ground corn into powder for feed all summer
"Six" is doing one helluva job, you and he have every right to be very proud. Zach do you remember your 1st tractor driving job? At 9 years old mine was a Super M hauling the rock cart for the hand picking crew, long time ago, LOL 😆
Man! What a great young man! Love seeing more and more of him. A couple more years or so and he'll be running the combine! It's going to be a treat watching him and the other kids grow up and take their places in life! Keep this channel going!!!👍
It’s awesome to see your kid running the equipment...As a dad myself I’m super proud of him
That's why he got the 16 row planter in the spring!
When I was 10 years old we were still picking corn on the cob. Putting the cobs in lath cribs. There was no cab on the tractors. No heaters. There were no corn dryers. That is what the lath cribs were all about. Air dry. Also, these cribs fed the local rat populations. Discovery was when the cribs were opened up for corn shelling in spring time before planting time. Things sure have changed. That X9 would only take 2 hours to harvest our entire crop. The picker was a 2 row pull type Oliver brand, pulled by an Oliver Super 88. Makes me a little chilly just thinking about it. We were still picking corn nearly every Thanksgiving and most of the time in snow. This was only about an hour south of the Millennial farmer. Lac qui Parle county.
That's how we did it also when I was about 10. We had 2 G JD's but we used an Oliver 77 on our New Idea 2 row because it had live power where the G's didn't. The Oliver didn't have hydraulics so we had a ratchet thing where the cylinder would go on the picker to set the height. On a fairly good day we put up 2 triple cribs. These big combines would do that many bushels in 20 minutes.
I grew up in central Illinois with that same equipment. Dad would get 10 year old me in the wagon to level out the ear corn, it would drop out of the elevator and hid me in the head, darn that hurt. In 1962 or so we moved to shelled corn with a JD45 two row combine no cab of course. I remember my dad and our hired man taking turns running it with so many clothes on that they could hardly move. A good day would have us harvest 20 acres yielding 2000 bushels. When I was in college starting in 68 I used to hope against hope that corn harvest would be done before I was home for Thanksgiving.
Awesome. Love hearing how you guys used to do it back in the day. Gives us perspective
So lucky to be abel to use that brand new machine ! Your Son is doing such a great job on the cart !
Thanks to Zach and family for the great videos, I almost feel confident enough to run some of the equipment! Very informative!
Zach: I'm not scared, you guys are... 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve been helping a local farmer with his soybeans. His son-in-law is a custom harvester. They’ve had an X9 since June, using it for wheat and soybeans starting in Kansas and ending in Montana. It has a 50 foot header and still leaves the other combines far behind.. They are going to use it locally on corn next week, but I haven’t seen the corn header yet... Looking forward to seeing how it does.....
I love to see that little man walking in the field with Dad!
Would give anything to walk thru ours with mine one more time.
Very cool peice of equipment! Good job raising the money for the rescue crews!!
I'm calling it now, Onyx will be using the combine before end of harvest!
The opening with his CrAzY DoGs will never get old 😂😂😂😅
Haha your not wrong😂
He should.habe added a mortal kombat, "Ready, Fight!". Just sayin
Jim Bob that would be funny
That boy is great. Love see him running equipment
You gotta love watching a Father son duo working together, it makes me proud and I am noted related to them!
I gotta say that onyx is driving like a pro. Tell him to keep it up I know he’s gotta be making you a proud dad
I'm in Hastings Mn and getting 95 day corn in straight from the field at 59 lb test and 12.5 moisture. That's crazy!
I'm in NW Indiana and picked 100 acres of 105-108 day corn planted late april to the first few days of may and has all been 13.5-15 and 58-61lb tw
I'm watching this video a year later - so much has happened since then !! Your parents must be super proud of you, young man !! I'm sure you're the envy of your school class and much àdmired !! And you're not even a teenager, YET !!
Thank you for all that you do for other farmers and the great video's.
It is interesting that like Zach said JD is marketing that combine towards big farms with multiple machines and lots of acres or custom combiners not small farms like the size of his. Yet they let him try it and not Mike Mitchel who farms 40,000 acres and probably would buy 3 or 4 of them. It would be fun to hear JD's reason for deciding last minute not to let Mike demo it.
My thoughts exactly!
Yes that doesn't make sense. I think they showed up to Mike's and then realized how many followers he has and they weren't ready to go up against the competition. There is no other reason, you don't make expensive oversize load hauls by accident. But Zach is John Deere through and through with 600k followers, just an online sales pitch. Don't get me wrong, zach is a great guy, great family man and I like his videos, I'm not questioning him, I don't understand deere on this. He said in the video he would not be in the market for one of these and John Deere would have known that.
Why would anyone care? Farmer UA-cam drama queens 😂
@@96lapiscoupe1 because some of us work in the business and would like to know their marketing angle. If you don't understand that maybe you can have an adult explain it to you.
Harvest 2020 is completely different than 2019. It’s going so well this year. Only bad thing is it’s going to be done before we know it :\
I know it goes by quickly for us viewing lol..
Finished today.:(
Iowa :(
that's a legitimate concern!
Atleast something is going well for 2020!! :) I'm new to the channel and I'm impressed what our farmers go through for harvest season...seems like alot for just a couple of guys and gals to do, on their own.
As a neighbor from Wisconsin, love you & your family, and thank you for being a farmer.
This is the best farming channel on UA-cam. For those who are fans of other farming channels, please talk about them on their channel. Nobody cares to hear about how other people, and most of you know who I’m talking about, and how they would feel about something.
A pair of vise grips would be quick and easy on the cable.
Yes! I was thinking the same thing
Always carry a pair of vice grips
I like how he pulls his head out the bin and he’s got it all over his face lol. That’s like me today putting a new pto shaft on are stalk shredder and I was underneath it and was completely black when I got done
Love seeing the harvest at night and everything all lit up. Thanks for the video.
I'm glad someone else likes looking around and seeing all the other lights of others harvesting. Makes for good speculating of "who is combining over there" radio chatter
Well I would suggest making an "Operator's Manual" for the dryer and teach the wife how to run it.
She’s got to be in the kitchen
He likes John Deere so much that he even has a John Deere shovel 😅
Must cost 500 dollars at least
Paint anything green and call it John Deere for 3X the cost
hey he’s loyal to the brand
Actually it isn't a deer bucket it is only green
Who wouldn’t unless it is fendt
Thank for your show is cool to see what goes on
6 1/2 mph in high yield corn, and it sooo clean. What a fantastic harvester. Thanks for all you do!
Who is the world gave 4 dislikes to this video? How can you not like these videos!! They are informative and funny.
The ones who always comment about how Mike Mitchell was supposed to get that X9
@@David_B777 exactly my thought. He did get the Ideal T10 though which I think is superior to the X9
I like both! 2 different styles, also like Larson farm vids
David Barta 🤣😂 👍🏻
@Christian carver My guess would be 2 case guys (Leg arms, and Nick) a Lexion guy (Brian's Farming Videos) and a Fent guy (Mitch Michaels). And before you all correct me I know the last one is backwards intentionally! Lol
Only 1.2 million without the header here..i think ill stick with my 9600
I wonder how they will even get it to sell?
You'd have to be a custom harvester or have a massive farm to get that to even pencil out.
J. A. G. Not really, if you could get by with an X9 instead of 2 s700s that would easily pencil out. An S790 is over half a million itself without heads
@@zeusmacafee5097 I look at you can buy 3 Gleaner S98s and come out ahead in capacity and price for 1.2.
Also class 9(for whatever classes are worth) and they dont exactly seem to eager to show it off, so I'm suspecting that it's not as big as they say, perhaps on par with a 790.
J. A. G. The whole point of the x9 is to run less machines so you can’t say you can buy 3 silver seeders and come out ahead
@@zeusmacafee5097 Well considering its 1.2 million and smaller than other competitors and more moving parts and they wont let people look at the guts of the machine and they won't let it go outside of their chosen demos...which is somewhat suspicious, as Agco with their TR and even back into the 70s, it was "demo it everywhere" with IHC, AC, and SRNH.
For now its a smarter idea to run 3 more reliable, simpler, proven machines, that(depending on how you take the joke that is the "combine class system") for 1.05 million instead of a complete new unknown single design for 1.2 million, machine alone.
I'd take a "Silver seeder" any day over the long green line, as, well, it doesn't leave a long green line out the back and makes seed quality grain without having to reclean it, even a 40 year old L2 does that.
Greetings from India, am so glad that I came across your channel and have been hooked on to ever since. Wish a speedy recovery to you Dad and blessings to Onyx, hope he reaches even greater heights. Cheers.
Have to agree with everyone Zach, you have to be mighty proud of your son. Also that combine is a beast for eating corn that well
Corn harvest is the best it’s so fun to watch.
Like if you agree
I thought he was gonna say: we are pushing 6000 bushels an acre 😅
I know my mouth dropped before he finished the sentence lol
Grate show takes me back a few years ok a bunch of years . from what i have seen with this new combine the x9 wow what a beast and looks like NR 6 is hanging tough what a fantastic young man . keep up the good work nr 6
Appreciate your safety concerns for others!
I love the x9 so much I had to see this vid
Your son has your (6) back up. I guess his number is well suited, as he has your back all the time.
Glad to see your dad out and about again. The grain bins seem like a pain in the butt, but nice to have so you can get a good price. New rental combine looks great.
I love watching onyx run the grain cart he does a great job with it and what a way to spend father son time
"Im not scared your scared" 😂
John deere is behind the 8 ball on the steering, the fendt ideal 10t is joystick, alot more room, no reveal on the x9 like you did last year, awesome machine though, thanks for sharing.
we gota sneaky look at it on instagram a day or 2 before the video the other day
but had to look closlyas he was in the cab harvesting at the time but the x9 was at the bottom of the screen lol
@@ryanlotgd I know I seen that, I was talking revealing an stuff on youtube, I figured since it is the next big up an coming machine there would an explanation of everything like last year with the 780, the revealing for 780 was better than the x9 an the x9 is new, but it's all good, he did a good job
@@derrickpettit3489 ah i noticed before alot of people dont seam to follow him on insta so they miss the sneak peaks and the endless banter between all the other youtubers
Thank you for the great content,it's always nice how you appreciate us the viewer's it feels good.
Thank you
So awesome to see ur son runnin with u guys. Hearing him on the radio is classic!
Mike Mitchell might want to see that machine.
Edit: I’m a fan of both Mike and Zach. It’s a joke people.
Wait he already did see it.....On a trailer 😂 now that he has the ideal 10t
Deere didn’t want Mike to give an honest opinion
anthony helget that’d be kinda cool
Debating which combine is better.
You guys need to get a life
I’ve been waiting for the triggered Mike fans
This is one mean machine right here
Fear the Deere
That’s right
You must have green blood like me. God love ya.
Yes sir I do
Zach is really doing a great job on these videos. What a great voice for the farming industry and community. Thank you Zach for standing up and leaning in for the farmers of the country and the world.
That’s fine I think we all understand that it’s a lot of work you guys do. Thanks for all of the hard work you do.
As a old retired firefighter the rule is "3 point of contact when climbing a ladder" so you need to put your camera on your forehead when you climb, safety first !
I’m sure that combine with a corn head and bean head comes with a price tag that would choke Uncle Elmer’s ole plow mule.
Jonathan Cranshaw I heard $800,000 plus heads
@Jonathan Cranshaw According to Big Tractor Power, a fully equipped X9 1100 is $980,503 for a tracked model, plus the heads. Here's the video of one being demoed in a Kentucky wheat field. ua-cam.com/video/hKEZ3ulw5kk/v-deo.html
1.2 million here with out the header
In the late '70s, we took corn at 30% one year almost to the end of harvest. The next year, we started at about 18% and ended at 14.4% and didn't even run the last week into the dryer. The next year, we started at 30% again and ended at nearly 30%!!! Ya never know 😏
@@Northern_Farmer Holly shit really??😨😨😲😲🤕🤦♂️
Great Vlog, It's great to see a very high production machine working on a family sized farm to understand how efficient they are, thanks
Love to hear the pride in your voice talking about your son running cart. I was about that age when I started running equipment so I know how he’s feeling and it’s pretty great. I’m also 5th gen farmer/rancher and hope to raise a 6th
