    Great video, well narrated, much info, clear, beautiful shots, and very important, NO annoying, brain-sapping, "music". Music only trivializes the work that farmers do to keep the world fed. We want to hear only the sounds you'd hear if you were there in the field. Farmer Drone, I thank you.

    We had a neighbor with an 18 row corn head, but it was on 20" centers! I've never seen a 16 row, 30" centers in person. I'm sure it's a sight to see!

    Wow, amazing footage of some seriously impressive machinery in action! The Geringhoff 16-row corn head and Claas Lexion 8700 combo is a true powerhouse. Loved the aerial shots showcasing the efficiency and skill of the team-Renfrew County farming at its finest! 🚜🌽🔥

    My son-in-law designed and patented the “Split-Flex” corn head now being sold by Geringhoff. His corn head is 24 row 30” centers corn head. He can shell 20 acres per hour with just this combine. When he runs it along with his 16 row “Split-Flex” head it take at least six semi’s to keep him going depending on how far they are from the elevator. It’s amazing to watch.

    When I was a kid in the 70's I drove a John Deere 4440 with two 400 bshl grain carts in endless miles from the 10 row combine to the silos. I thought we were soooo efficient. lol Not even close. This is how the big boys do things.

      @@farmerdrone It was the only tractor my little skinny butt could drive. My uncle strapped a feed bag to the seat and to the back so I could push the pedals in. No cab, just this orange/white umbrella and a rusty, corroded AM radio on the fender. And I was paid! I would have done it for free, but I got $1/hour and for a 10 year old kid in the 70's, that was big money! lol Yes, good memories indeed. A lot of hard lessons learned. My uncle was a real stickler on spilled grain. I spent a lot of time cleaning up little piles of corn I was careless with.

    Great video! First time I've seen your channel. I will be watching it more! The Claus combines seem to be gaining popularity. From what I understand, they are a good combine. I've had the opportunity to see the Case AF11 in the field with a 50' grain head. That thing is a beast!! This grain cart is insane! Seeing all the round bales there, they must run quite a few cattle too.

    @tianyi05 2 місяці тому +4

    Key question is what are the yields? My brother in law has been running over 280 bushel per acre , best fields over 320. Only so much you can push through the thresher. If he ran 16 rows he'd have to drive at 2.5 mph or choke the combine. 410 bu. hopper wouldn't make it half way across a quarter section.

    • @farmerdrone
      @farmerdrone  2 місяці тому +1

    • @MecaniqueAgricoleTV
      @MecaniqueAgricoleTV 2 місяці тому

      Your brother-in-law's yields are impressive and represent the upper tier of productivity in modern agriculture. Achieving 280 to over 320 bushels per acre likely involves optimized soil management, genetics, and favorable growing conditions. However, as you've noted, high yields introduce logistical challenges.

    • @farmerdrone
      @farmerdrone  2 місяці тому

      Correct ... 270 bu/ac is a good yield here and other locations certainly are worse/better dictating combine speeds ...
