Thanks much for posting. Have been fascinated with big farm and construction machinery since I was a kid. When I was 15(I’m 50 now), I was living in Dothan, Al. where peanuts are a huge crop. I pulled off the road on my dual sport motorcycle to watch a big International tractor with harvester in tow working a big field. The farmer could sense I was enthralled and stopped the tractor, throttled it down, and motioned me over. Long story short, I got to climb into the operator’s “office” and run several rows with him. The sound of that beautiful Diesel engine at song and the noise of the peanut harvester running was simply heaven! I thanked him as he dropped me off and the memory has lasted a lifetime. Keep up the good work.
Very cool. When I was a kid I watched the farm across the street work the field. One day the farmer waved me over and I got to ride along. I was hooked for life. I will have a peanut combine video in the near future. Thank you for sharing.
Old Matt is a cool guy! The kind you would want to drink a beer with. I about fell out of my chair when he said 80 to 100 bushel per acre. That’s awesome.
Always enjoy listening you and Matt talking about the harvest. Please keep going with the general conversation between you and the operator. Great videos.
Great video and great insight about the harvesting process...I'm still pretty new to your channel and am learning a little more each time I watch one of your videos...much appreciated, thanks!! :)
Not many years, where mud is an issue. But this year man rain has been everywhere. Seen some corn yesterday in West Tn. Silks are dark, so its about done making its crop for this year. Beans are full of Pods and filling out also. So Harvest is close again.
Mac Don is not the superior header, it's a cheaper option for customers who can't afford the Deere header but want Deere combines.. It's substantially cheaper
When will JD start installing restrooms 🚽 in their combines. For over $500,000 one would think. Great video. When will we see a vid on the enter workings of these great machines. Would like to see how they separate the trash from the grain. Stay dry my friend.
One thing I noticed is the header gets the downed wheat quite well. That's always a concern with winter wheat that is fertilized for top yield. 80-100 bu/a is a pretty good yield. It looks really good to me. In some parts of Europe they report yields as high as 150 bu/a. I'm not partial to any brands of equipment. I just enjoyed farming. Looks like it's wet in many parts of the country. In SESD we got about only about 30% planted and had to take PP for the rest. Another great video BTP!!
It has been a wet year. There was 64 inches of rain here last year and I think that really boosted the wheat. Sorry to hear the rain prevented planting for you.
I've seen a couple videos talking about the LSW tires and I am curious if any of the farms that you film at are thinking about going that way? Would they work on a combine like the S790 and would they help in getting through that ridiculously wet field without making a ton of ruts?
I'm playing Farming simulator 19 with a jd s790 with a 45 ft Draper head harvesting wheat its a little too expensive to buy a real jd S790 with heads and all 800k probably but Farming simulator 19 is great
I've seen big combines like that actually put a windrow splitter to make it easier for small square & round baling. I think for a NJ guy baling straw down south, he should have a windrow "squisher" like I have seen being used in Europe.
I believe MacDon has the patent on the belt feeders in the header, I am sure they used to. This is supposed to deliver the grain to the feeder house without as much shell out or as many wads of grass choking the header. When I was a kid on the farm, we left in 1964, the headers were less than 14' and the concept of draper heads was not around and whatever combine you bought came with a header. I asked a farmer why he had a MacDon and that was the answer he gave me.
Do they have to constantly adjust the height of the head? Or is that part of the auto steer stuff? Really wish you could get a operator that could really explain stuff for people like me that havent driven anything built in probably 35-45 years(always ran 15-25 year old stuff when I did). I know very little about these machines now days, and Im a 34 year old IT guy now. Thats why I like MNF's videos. But yours for more stats. Cool seeing these big ass farms too. In my area a couple thousand acres is some what normal. Cool seeing these 10, 20, 30k+ farms.
The combine was running in a matted from rain so Matt was adjusting the header on the the go to collect the wheat. Normally it would not need adjustment.
Again very interesting video! Thanks. Just to check if I have understood correctly : does Matt own or rent the land he is working on or is he a farming contractor that landlords use to perform the jobs that need to be done : tillage, drilling, spraying and harvest. In that case how many acres does he take care of and how many tractors ans combine does his company own?
Matt is an employee of the farm. The farm owns the equipment and has a mix of owned and rented farms. Matt sprays, plants, combines and runs two tillage seasons from the farm.
So that was a hard red winter wheat done with conventional farming practices? How many bushels per acre? What % moisture were they harvesting? How many acres per day and total? I like to hear more specifics and general farm facts. Number of generations farm, number of hired help.
Enjoy your channel watch every video. Just curious do the grain carts have power to their own wheels or tracks to help keep that weight moving ? (Via the PTO ?)
No power to the grain wheels. They just get pulled along. The pto powers the unloading auger. I just made a video on the Kinze 1105 carts work on this farm’s wheat harvest posted at m.ua-cam.com/video/5UJnbTftT9I/v-deo.html
Does Matt work for one farm that has a lot of acres to plant and harvest or does the farm he works for plant and harvest many different farms? Also, does the farm Matt works for need to get new equipment each year to make up for the wear and tear done to the equipment they use?
I work for a farm that covers about 33,000 acres annually. It’s not a custom crew. And yes we do trade tractors and combines annually. The implements usually stay around for a few years before they get traded.
That’s a good question. I have not watched. I know that 17 semi trucks had been to the field and out before the rain. I would say each combine is producing 2,400 bu an hour.
@@bigtractorpower i would say that's about right in 80bu what because 8n 50 to 60bu wheat with an s670 and 35ft head we were averaging 500 to 600bpa at 2 to 3mhh
This video was filmed on June 30. I have lots of wheat harvest videos and double crop bean video to share yet but harvest ended on the 30th. This was the last field of the year.
At 14:55 there is a wabbit or a piglet running in front to the left of the header. What happens if he gets fed into the header? I noticed you then turned your camera away !
Hello! I do not know English, so I communicate through Google translator. I understand that you are talking about agricultural machinery, new models, and so on? I am from Kazakhstan, I would like to know how I can find an investor for the purchase of American-made agricultural equipment for the organization of an agricultural enterprise in northern Kazakhstan to grow wheat, rapeseed and legumes. can that will advise. Thank!
The first combine I remember dad buying was a used 1980 JD 6622 for 30k at an auction. My first was an 02 Case 2388 in 08 for 100k, second was an 08 Case 8010 for 200k and in 2021 a 2016 Case 9240 for 385k. So it seems to be roughly doubling every 5-7 years since 05.
There are lots of rabbits and deer out in these fields. I get to see allot of wildlife each year. Unfortunately a combine found a skunk during harvest this year while I was filming. The skunk was not happy.
Alright... $650,000. These machines, I need them to last at a minimum of 12 years. Other than the occasional bearing failure, EVERYTHING from belts, hydraulic pumps, hoses, tires needs to last. Sickle bar sections are replaced, you bet. All that cash, times four for some folk. Of course coming from Montana, that means only 1 harvest per season. Toatally understand why Western Kentucky farmers are millionaires. Many acres, generations old paid for, and many GMO Frankenstein food crops. And everyone wonders why life expectancy has dropped, dramatically since 2000.

Great video as always, always l always like. Seeing you and Matt
Old Matt is a cool guy! The kind you would want to drink a beer with. I about fell out of my chair when he said 80 to 100 bushel per acre. That’s awesome.
Matt is a good person to know. It was a big wheat harvest this year.
The fresh produce you harvest looks so delicious
We get lucky today with 2 videos ! I love how you explain all the details of everything !
Thank you for watching. Glad to hear you like the machine details.
Always enjoy listening you and Matt talking about the harvest. Please keep going with the general conversation between you and the operator. Great videos.
There are more on the way with cab ride alongs. Thank you for watching.
I always said, someday combines will unload on either side instead of having to cut in a land. Love your videos you do a great job.
I think the Tri-Bine does.
Finally an operator that can talk, lol. Nice video.
Man, That's a massive operation going on there !
Thanks and thumbs up !
👍 thank you for watching.
Thank you big tractor power for getting a can view!!
Cab*
Lots of great questions and answers in this video combine ride, much thanks!
Thank you for watching.
Another awesome video! I'm supposed to go check out a brand new S790 harvesting rice in South Louisiana in a couple weeks.
Very cool.
Awesome as always. I really enjoy your videos w Matt. Very cool guy and down to earth
Matt is a good operator.
Great video and great insight about the harvesting process...I'm still pretty new to your channel and am learning a little more each time I watch one of your videos...much appreciated, thanks!! :)
Thank you for watching. There are a variety of process and spec videos.
Enjoyed watching John Deere S790 Combine harvesting Wheat🚜👍
Thank you Mark.
Its great to hear the purr of that 500 ph engime , Good video
Great video and footage as always. I love watching these machines.
Thank you for watching. It fun tracking down these machines to film.
Remarkable how these machines can process that much grain at one time.
That is satisfying for some reason
Not many years, where mud is an issue. But this year man rain has been everywhere. Seen some corn yesterday in West Tn. Silks are dark, so its about done making its crop for this year. Beans are full of Pods and filling out also. So Harvest is close again.
In down wheat the Draper really showed how superior it is to the auger style.
You can’t beat a Draper in this type of condition.
Love seeing that Iowa-made green and blue equipment out there
jmurphy1973 Deere combines are made at the Harvester works in East Moline Illinois.
👍👍
John Deere Marketing and engineering should figure out why many farmers prefer MacDon heads over John Deere heads.
Mac Don is not the superior header, it's a cheaper option for customers who can't afford the Deere header but want Deere combines.. It's substantially cheaper
Cheaper header ??? Go look at the Richie bros sales and the Mac don headers go for almost double the price of a Deere here is Saskatchewan
Canadian engineering is the way to go with windrowers and headers. Preferably Mac don
Kevin Livingston, you are right. The headers are more expencive, but better
I will gaurentee you a brand new Deere header is 40 to 50 grand more cuz I just purchased one
Support vehicles are what you need more than ever
Nothing like the smell of fresh cut wheat.
👍👍
Who would like to see a video of BTP running a grain cart with his own personal 4 wheel drive IH for a farmer close to him?
I would like to do that. Unfortunately the IH 4wds never came with a pto. It’s a tillage machine.
You’re making him famous!
Matt is a good guy and operator.
Great farm and harvester!
Thank you for watching.
When will JD start installing restrooms 🚽 in their combines. For over $500,000 one would think. Great video. When will we see a vid on the enter workings of these great machines. Would like to see how they separate the trash from the grain. Stay dry my friend.
Theres a restroom at the back of it, as well as on each side
Oh ya! What was I thinking 🤔
Mark lots of people don’t realize it but there are restrooms everywhere, they just aren’t labeled with bright flashy signs
Did you see that tree line?
Would be nice to do a side by side of case self adjustment an John Deer top combine to see the differences
It would. Not sure if I will get that opportunity. I did film a pair of 8250s in wheat. Stay tuned.
Will be waiting to see it always enjoy your videos
nice work, the real green power in action, i like it, greetings
Thank you for watching.
nice ~ send them over here ...we lost our combine due to the severe drought ...one of the worst drought years the wheat went 4 bu/acre, that's it
Where are you located that you only got 4 bu/acre? Thanks.
saskatchewan
@@valentusslimroast6716 Good place. Thanks.
the year before the 4, it went 5 bu/acre and we didn't think it could get any worse ... ha

👍👍
Nice equipment !
It will cover some ground.
I think that the harvester harvested more than 45 ft of wheat. But also good video as always. 😅💪🏼
45 each pass 😁👍
Great video!
Thank you for watching.
I'm glad somebody's wheat did good our Virgina crop was Shit
It was a good this year. In 2007 a late frost killed off 80% of the acres here. Every year is a gamble for sure.
I believe that the 824 cid is 13.5L,Have you seen the pictures of the alledged Deere twin rotor combine?
generationll you are correct. 9 LTr engines were in the 9770sts
Kevin Livingston 6090’s are in s670 &s770 680/780/790 all have 6135s
Great video
Thank you for watching.
Ugh not down wheat but the fd1’s really do a nice job picking it up.
They sure do.
Nice machines♡
Thank you for watching.
Well done
Thank you for watching
I've seen a couple videos talking about the LSW tires and I am curious if any of the farms that you film at are thinking about going that way? Would they work on a combine like the S790 and would they help in getting through that ridiculously wet field without making a ton of ruts?
No LSW tires in the area yet but farm’s I film at are aware of them.
Thanks so much si for the videos, please can you make one where RICE is being harvested pls, thanks in advance
I hope to catch rice some time. It’s raised about 4 hours from where I live.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks and be blessed sir
I'm playing Farming simulator 19 with a jd s790 with a 45 ft Draper head harvesting wheat its a little too expensive to buy a real jd S790 with heads and all 800k probably but Farming simulator 19 is great
Would be a lot cooler if John Deere made the class nine combine with 4.0 bushel on the unloading or higher than that.
The next John Deere combine with twin rotors no doubt will step up the game.
45ft header that would leave a nice straw windrow, for a certain person with two krone balers
I've seen big combines like that actually put a windrow splitter to make it easier for small square & round baling. I think for a NJ guy baling straw down south, he should have a windrow "squisher" like I have seen being used in Europe.
Mr E30 you don’t mean that lonely fellow do ya? Lol
Oops Oops 😂😂👍 yup🤦♂️🤦♂️
สวยงามมาก...love..u...Fc....2019...
This wheat crop needed straw strengthener to stop it falling over, you could easily add 20 b/acre to the yeild
It's got a 13.5 litre engine, boosts to 617 hp
I messed that detail up. I was looking at the brochure and crossed the lines between the S780 and T670.
so nice amazig,but so expensive
What are the pro's and con's have having dual front tires instead of Trac?
Tracks are a 60 to 75 thousand bucks option.
@@piperdoug428 LOL! Well that certainly puts some perspective on it. Yikes.
Tim Price!!
Tracks are good but they are rough on the road.
Why do farmers prefer macdon heads over standard JD flex drapers ?
George L it’s the draper most of the guys in this area started with
I believe MacDon has the patent on the belt feeders in the header, I am sure they used to. This is supposed to deliver the grain to the feeder house without as much shell out or as many wads of grass choking the header.

d hamby all that was mentioned. You must’ve not paid attention
@@arfarms5711 I'll listen to it again. Thanks.
The only question that was answered in this video was that, he was harvesting around 80-100 bushels per acre.
Definitely bigger than a 9 liter
Yes it’s 13.8. I messed up and read the T670 spec.
Awesome, on this specific video how long does it take to fill the 400bu bin
I would say 5-8 minutes.
I was gonna say 15, but you know what they say about time flyin n havin fun 😝!

7 combines running??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That wheat is very lodged
Yes lots of rain in the final days of harvest. Still yielded well

Matt works for the farm.
Advertiser... LaBelle Dairy, if you abuse those critters, I swear If I witnessed that, I would be putting that WASR-10 Romanian AK-47 to good use.
Do they plant pioneer or what brand
I'm a little confused on engine size. You stated 842CID, thats 13.8 liters. 9 liters is 549 - 550 CID.
I messed that up. Looked at the brochure too fast. It’s 13.8 not 9.0.
💚💛.
Why does he have the reel from the draper so deep, when the wheat is not lying?
The wheat was flat in places every few feet. Heavy heavy rains made the field matted and tangled. The crop was inconsistent in its condition.
@@bigtractorpower thanks BTP for the quick answer
Are you going to get some footage on spraying the corn on the farm Matt works on
I did. It is posted at m.ua-cam.com/video/F64DPSwbLcQ/v-deo.html
How many bushels do they plant to the acre on the wheat
I am not sure. I will ask when they seed this fall.
I thought it was too late in the year to put out soy beans if they do put them out they don't have much of a yield Willie just wondering
This video was filmed on June 30. I have lots of wheat harvest videos and double crop bean video to share yet but harvest ended on the 30th. This was the last field of the year.
how many tonnes per hectare?
I am not sure. It is a 100 bu yield per acre.
yeah me neither as im from europe I have never heard of bushel before this video
🇺🇸🐝
How many acres does he farm?
Over 30K.
At 14:55 there is a wabbit or a piglet running in front to the left of the header. What happens if he gets fed into the header? I noticed you then turned your camera away !
It was a rabbit. It did not go in the header. The operator would stop if an animal got in the header.
Correction, 13.5L engine
First
Thank you for your enthusiasm
What makes MacDon heads better than say a John Deere head?
They are similar. In this area MacDon is by far the favorite. I am
Not sure there is a clear cut advantage though.
There are no sensors. It's all springs that make it float. And the reel is adjustable for when it releases the crop over the canvas.
What are the teeth on the header for?
On the reel? Those are fingers to pull the crop in. Below the Draper belt are sickles that cut the wheat stems.
The teeth on the cutterbar protect the knifes called sections from rocks or other things on the ground
Farming is cost prohibitive even with our clapped-out 1972 JD 6600. I can't fathom making the payments on a $1/2M combine.
It is very expensive.
Hello! I do not know English, so I communicate through Google translator. I understand that you are talking about agricultural machinery, new models, and so on?

Thank!
3-4 mph standing? You can literally run twice as fast with a shelbourne stripper
This farm ran AGCO stripper heads up until 2003.
Is Macdon reliable?
Very. An over whelming majority of farm’s in this area run them.
@@bigtractorpower Thank you!
@@bigtractorpower Why is that? Are John Deere headers bad?
@@stoneyowl6164 just curious.😋
@@mackowen9337 No I was asking why the over whelming majority of farms use macdon heads instead of another brand. What makes macdon so much better?
It's nice but that price tag🤭💰
It’s a big investment but covers some serious acres.
The first combine I remember dad buying was a used 1980 JD 6622 for 30k at an auction. My first was an 02 Case 2388 in 08 for 100k, second was an 08 Case 8010 for 200k and in 2021 a 2016 Case 9240 for 385k. So it seems to be roughly doubling every 5-7 years since 05.
Is that a rabbit at 14. 55 ?
There are lots of rabbits and deer out in these fields. I get to see allot of wildlife each year. Unfortunately a combine found a skunk during harvest this year while I was filming. The skunk was not happy.
bigtractorpower 😵😵😵😶😶😶😑😑😑
So hard to climb with the camera or are you moving a bit slower then normal?
Carrying two cameras makes it hard to climb and film.
13.5 litre motor.
You are correct. I read the T670 column on the brochure on the liter.
14:55 rabbit? gopher?
Rabbit
Lexion is beter then JD's S-series lol
Which isn't as good as a Gleaner.
Jaka szerokość hederu?
Alright... $650,000. These machines, I need them to last at a minimum of 12 years. Other than the occasional bearing failure, EVERYTHING from belts, hydraulic pumps, hoses, tires needs to last. Sickle bar sections are replaced, you bet. All that cash, times four for some folk. Of course coming from Montana, that means only 1 harvest per season. Toatally understand why Western Kentucky farmers are millionaires. Many acres, generations old paid for, and many GMO Frankenstein food crops. And everyone wonders why life expectancy has dropped, dramatically since 2000.
