Even though i retired a while ago,after 47 seasons cutting up to 2000 acres a year in the UK (Britain) i still miss it and would love to harvest in Australia.
I noticed the fire 🔥 fighting tanks and pumps on the chase trailers. Also the clear sky.😊. Wonderful Back here in Australia 🇦🇺 the days can have storms building right when we are trying to get the crop off. Fire 🔥 is always an issue.
Good to see Robert and Tanya having a good year after the turmoil of weather in the past. Stimulating the economy is one of Robert's special gifts. We love it.
Nice to see some Winnipeg made farm equipment in action ....the Macdon header and Versatile tractor. Great farming video from way over there. Keep it up. 👍👍
I worked on this farm in 2001. Stayed with Wendy and Ian, Roberts parents. They are a very kind family. I drove that blue Versatile and Finch chaser bin! They had a big bud then too.
Interesting place Aus. The toilets flush backward, the seasons are backward and farmers hang mud flaps in front of tires and not behind. I'd like to visit there one day.
what are the flaps in front of the tractor tires good for? Thanks! And what is the vombine speed and yield? Seems really fast but I am used to German yields
aslong as it does the job right and everyone goes home safe to family is all that matters...these days it's the cost of everything u got to manage and if operator sets machine right he can make money on profit side
I am a retired farmer and trucker living in the Philippines. Have done the harvest every year since 1954 minuses 4 years while in Navy. Am 76 and missing it would be interested in doing a harvest in Australia. Any way I could be of service am interested can't do strenuous work any more but willing to be an operator trucker or cart driver have extensive experience in all the above even ran a harvest crew on year in US

about your female drivers .[ i remember years ago when i thought females should just bring a feed down the paddock ,and stay away from driving headers etc because they where at best steering wheel holders ,not real operators] i watched an impressive ,eye opening doco on dale stark the big texas stripping contractor who made a statement about his female drivers being better than males because they weren't as rough on the gear . well hopefully we all live and learn .
Interesting to see the figure of 200t per hour which I assume is the total from four harvesters. I hear the highest capacity harvesters will do over 90 tonnes per hour in heavy wheat crops in the UK so it illustrates how different the yields per hectare are between intensive (UK) and more extensive systems (Aus). I guess moisture in the soil makes a big difference too. Great video and always informative seeing how farming is done different around the world. Long time retired farmer but I still do my bit trying to keep people informed about why farming is so important. Farming under political attack from every quarter here in Europe.
200t per hr from the four headers. I don’t think we could match your yields our soils aren’t as fertile as yours and our rainfall would be less. The interesting thing about our country, most of it was only cleared about fifty years ago.
Hi mate, 23yo future backpacker from munich here. Would love to get a job during the harvest season in WA and am wondering if you could hook me up staring early november. obviously only after sending my cv and having a chat and stuff. Happy to pay a comission if it works out (: cheers!

Very impressive harvest! Those beautiful machines are HUGE!!

Great job running the chaser bin Susan
200t an hour? That's hard to imagine Ben. Thanks for putting these images together,and thanks to Erangy farms for allowing you to.
Hello! Impressive scenery! Greetings from Portugal.
love work on that farm.
Awesome video guys thanks for sharing love this👍👍 2:12
Many thanks Todd.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! THANKS ❤
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video Ben. Some good detail in their.
Love the red machines.
God bless you all..
Nice 👌from Tulsa Oklahoma USA
Great that you're having great yields! Greetings from Ireland!
Great video Ben
Many thanks Kevin.
Good video Mates. I enjoyed watching Thanks
I worked on this farm in 2001. Stayed with Wendy and Ian, Roberts parents. They are a very kind family.
I drove that blue Versatile and Finch chaser bin! They had a big bud then too.
Great to see our Farmers making it big.
Great video. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Great Video again Ben,Kitto’s must have the most Versatiles on the Planet
this is a great vieo such big machines.thanks
i was thinking our farm is big but this is BIGGER!!! keep up the good work!
Hi I'm driving a header just south of Merredin great yield here too
Interesting video. Here in Ontario Canada, the harvest can be wet. Tracks here lower the amount of compaction to the damp soil. Quite a team there.
It's great to see the trucks can't keep up, because the crops are so good.
Such a neat operation is there not a hand needed to assist with the harvest?
what are the tanks and pumps mounted on the chasers for? Fire control?
In case of fire.
Another record season in West Aus! And with prices being good, cockies are grinning like Cheshire cats!
When you get record rains in a dry area of the world the old fertilizer will be used up and produce record crops
Interesting place Aus. The toilets flush backward, the seasons are backward and farmers hang mud flaps in front of tires and not behind. I'd like to visit there one day.
Why do the 4wd tractors have big mud flaps in front of the front tires?
To protect the tyres against Canola stubble Boyd.
They knock down canola stubble and save tire ware
How many hectares of wheat you doing a year. Very impressive operation. Great video.
8400ha wheat, 2800ha Canola, 2800ha Lupins Josh.
Geraldton number plate in there?
Seems like Chris is as dry as the corn.
what are the rubber flaps in front of the front tires of the tractors for?
Protect the tyres from Canola stubble.
Seeing these yields in aussir and yank fields makes me realise how lucky we are in Ireland, our bad yields makes these look good
So what are your yields Walter 12t?
What are the rubber flaps on front of the tractor for
Protect the tyres against Canola stubble, Chris.
Why are there mudflap things on the front wheels of the tractors hauling the field bins?
Protect the tyres against the Canola stubble Brian.
What is that liquid tank near the chaser bin? It's water for fire?
Firefighter setup to get to a fire early in the peace
How far are you trucking grain ? Does crop go directly to market or is it stored at another site ?
Most of the grain is carted to Geraldton 80 to 100ks away and delivered to CBH a co-op run by farmers to store most types of grain.
What are the mud flaps (or whatever they are) in front of the Versatile tires?
To protect the tyres from the Canola stubble.
@@BenCrosthwaite1I've heard about soybean stubble eating up tires.
nice
what are the flaps in front of the tractor tires good for?
Thanks!
And what is the vombine speed and yield? Seems really fast but I am used to German yields
The flaps are to protect the tyres from the Canola stubble. The headers are travelling at 8ks to 10ks.
aslong as it does the job right and everyone goes home safe to family is all that matters...these days it's the cost of everything u got to manage and if operator sets machine right he can make money on profit side
Thanks for the impressive video.
American here,
Are there any 18 meter Midwest fronts in your area-?
What kind of a reputation do they have-?
Not close handy that I know off John.

Erangy Springs Farm. Mullewa Western Australia Sam.
Thank you
How big is your farm altogether
Are you really good friends with John Warr
@@samjones8840 i’m just the retired farmer come photographer Sam.

Jak duża jest to gospodarstwo rolne.?
About 14,000 ha
1000 m² yerden ne kadar verim?
Farmers try to leave 20% of trees.
👍👏🙋♂️🌈🌞💥💥💥💥
Do you know john Warr
John has a top farm out at Yuna.

If it’s red stay in bed
Ugh, the music
Tell me where I could get better music Don, and where I could monetise it on UA-cam?😊😊
@@BenCrosthwaite1 How about no music? The sound of the machinery is music enough. Makes ya feel like you are right there. Thanks for your response.
What are the flaps on the front of the tractors for
To save the tyres from the Canola stubble.
