Video of some 2020 winter wheat harvest on a family farm (Poss Farms) near Hugo Colorado.
In this video the farm is harvesting their 2020 winter wheat crop with their 3 Case IH 7240 combines all equipped with Shellbourne XCV 42 stripper heads. Hauling the wheat from the combines is the farms Case IH 580 Quad Trac tractor pulling a J&M 1326 Grain Cart. - Авто та транспорт
Thank you to all the farmers ! I live in a big city where I can get whole wheat crackers in the corner store , and it’s all thanks to these guys hard work and harvest ! Keeping America well fed !
That is a well organized group of operators . Very interesting the way those heads work
Thanks to the young man for getting in contact with you so that you could share another awesome video.
I like how small the semi trucks look next to the machines.
Great video Mike
Great video again! My wife and I were in Hogo 6 years ago. They have a very nice ranch rodeo at their fair grounds in late June.Lots and lots of open farm ground there. Not many people around. Had never been that far west. Like to go back someday. Thanks. Don’t see that much from a car 🚗 window. Lots of very big fields.
Great video Mike.
Those headers are really interesting.
Fair bit of weed pressure in parts of the field. Nature is a mighty force to deal with Mr. Monsanto!!
Drone and ground footage was excellent as always Mike. Thanks for sharing this with us. Looking forward to many more vids. 👍👍😀
Great video, Mike and looks like a very nice family operation. Nice of that young man to give you a shout. Thanks for sharing.
Nice red fleet!
Thanks for these grand pictures!😊👍🏻
At 18:40 to 19:01 it’s like setting there in the grass watching the huge buffalo go by. Only now it’s wheat. Beautiful golden wheat and noisy red machines. Eating up that grain for AMERICAN families. God bless us every one!
Finally, a grain cart operator who knows how to correctly receive grain from a series of combines.
When we harvest corn I drive my small 400 hp max combine and son drives the cart because 1/3 combining time the combine is dumping on the 1100 bu cart. It takes 20 minutes to get a semi load so I get to stop if the trucks loading is more than 1/4 mile from the combine. If we used the other cart then we would need another truck. When will it stop? JD X9 can harvest 7,000 bu per hr!

Pretty cool video !! first time hearing about the stripper heads. Makes sense after hearing you explain how they work and why they are used . Thanks for sharing Mike......
First time i've seen that type of a head being used. Thank you for the video - be safe and hope the family and you are doing well. Take care 'Spin'
Great footage once again Mike!! Those stripper heads are pretty amazing! Thanks again!
Great video Mike and if get a chance show us how those heads work if you can. Thanks again for sharing!
Another great upload mike ,was surprised at how fast they run .Nice line up of machinery
Another neat video from a really neat guy. Thanks Mike. Colorado looks beautiful.
We are in an exceptional drought here in Eastern Colorado this summer. The wheat would normally be better than this. This wheat in the video is pretty good considering the weather
Excellent as usual.
The best thing about those stripper-headers is just how fast you can move with them. They actually reduce ground compression as well as machine wear in the combines. If they get any better we could end up back in the old days of the harvester not threshing in the field but simply loading the harvest into trailers that are threshed more accurately elsewhere. Taking a few tons of equipment off the wheels would make a huge difference in ground pressure.
The Shelbourne stripper header is the Cadillac of wheat headers. Conventional platforms aren’t very popular in Colorado because there are very few acres of soybeans. Generally wheat, corn, sorghum
You are the best Mike Less
Another excellent video Mike and a good back story as well. Those stripper heads really allow for higher combine ground speeds, I guess there is much less plant material passing through the combine. It looked like mostly only chaff exiting the rear.
You made me feel good with your explanation of the turning ‘corners’ left until the end. I do this same thing playing Farming Simulator, thought I was just being sloppy. Nice to see a real life application.
Keep up the good work!
Pretty cool wheat harvest video ive been watching alot of your 2020 wheat harvest videos and i like them
I like your videos, i watched 20 of them this weekend.
Great video Mike love to see theses guys working in team like this. B1gfh UK 👍
Fascinating those Stripper headers. Too bad we couldn't see how they work internally. Thanks Mike Once again.
They can cover a field in a hurry! Great video Mike!
Top job bud. Some great footage to. Gday from South Australia. 🍻
Thanks for the video,I live near here!
Watching this video, my heart is overwhelming.
Great job !!! Love your videos
Hi Mike I live in Waterford in Ireland and I like your wheat harvest videos
Great video!
We used to round the
corners like that , but we running the combines never stopped until quitting time which made for a long day
Excellent movie.
Give the young lad some royalties :)
That is a lot of combine for dryland wheat! I could use a stripper head as in the Panhandles we get 17" but from 10 to 28"
Cánh đồng này đẹp quá anh ơi
Really not looking too bad for Hugo and the year. As mentioned Eastern and Southern Colorado are in bad shape for drought this year. My mom grew up in Hugo, we had lots of fun terrorizing the town as kids when visiting. Nice little town.
Actually seen a Case IH and one of these headers worked wheat this summer on 571 between Gville/UC. Never really noticed these before at least around here. Seems like a good way to get through the field fast and less wear and tear on the combine.
Okay I'm told a farm down in Preble County just got a Shellbourne this year.
I've never understood the stripper heads before now. Those guys are speeding!!
man they combines are flyin with them shelbourne headers, i bet the guts of those combines are like new never having the whole crop go threw them wearing it out, would be a good second hand yoke for some smaller outfit someday, cheers from fife 🏴🍺
The drone master
Cracking video Mike . never seen combines working at that speed before.🙉🙉👍👍😀

Nice
I would love to see those stripper heads in millet or something other than wheat. They are amazing.
So much red in a yellow field!
👍👍
How fast are they moving?? Wow!!
Those things are moving! I suspect about 8 mph. If I calculate that right that is about 45 acres per hour per machine. That is a lot of acres they can cover.
💖
So many advantages.. less material going into machine.has to be a great advantage.. slightly faster harvest speeds..
What are the biggest drawbacks to stripper headers..???
The straw is left behind using a stripper header and many farmers want to use or sell the straw. It could be mowed & baled after harvest but that would cost more than combining it normally & baling it.
Not all min-till methods will manage to plant the next cropping through all that long straw left behind. It also wouldn't be possible to plough down that much straw. Better to use the combine to harvest & chop it. Modern combine choppers obliterate straw.
Not all crops work with a stripper header and therefore you need to buy an additional header alongside a more standard header.
One advantage you didn't mention is that usually any dampness in a crop is at the base of the straw, because only the grain heads receive direct sun. A standard header/combine taking in the straw with the grain heads transfers some of that dampness to the grain, increasing the grain moisture content slightly. A stripper header avoids this.
For cutting strictly wheat the stripper head is the only way to go. At one time they had issues with large green weeds but I think the design has overcome that now

How many acres was that field? It’s big!
Verry impressive !!! How many yield ? Best regard from France 🇫🇷
You the man anything for the shot eating all that dust👍😂 good thing it’s not bearded wheat 🌾 or you be really intching
✌️✌️✌️
Gràu'!(grain) floarea fàinii'
12.30 - The combines are bouncing at lot while crossing the planting direction at that speed. Must cause some wear & tear.

Ist schon eine andere Welt wie in der oberpfalz
holy smoke they are flying, how fast are they going with that header?
6 to 10 miles per hour
What was their ground speed? How many acres a day?
I know the Wheat a lot thinner out there from what we're used to here but dang how fast where they going ?
I'm going to guess 8 mile an hour
Must be able to go so fast because they aren’t taking any straw in.
how fast are they going?? looks pretty fast to me
Did those grain heads say Hoover on them?
Shelbourne Reynolds is the British company behind the stripper head technology.
When you say all the equipment could you also say the truck maybe
Cuál es la diferencia de trabajar con este cabezal y con el que gira?
Hello!
Liked, ground looks too dry to even grow good wheat. Can't understand how they can grow corn unless it's irragated.
Had a dry fall last year and a dry spring this year. Had 50 mph winds and 95 degree days in June for a week straight when the wheat was heading out. Worst wheat I’ve ever seen this year. All of Colorado was awful
how much faster is the ground speed with the stripper head versus conventional?
Quite a bit. The combine is only having to deal with the actual heads of the wheat plants and no straw so the machine isn’t tasked with near as much separation
We were running anywhere from 6 to 10 miles per hour
Stetson,
Thanks for contacting Mike and excellent of you to answer questions here. Hope you and your family have a safe season.
Machines vary, but in 50-60 bushel/acre conventional head last month, I was usually 3mph +/-, 4 max... So double speed for stripper
@@davidkottman3440 thanks for the replies
I hope you guys are doing ok
👍
Corp would be looked maximum if machine vehicles used
When the Farm Machinery start looking like Starwars sand crawlers ___________🚜_________🌾🌾__________🤠👍 cheers from oz straya 🦘
I been hearing about “classes of combines” what determines what class a combine is?
Horse power
If it is horsepower what is cutoff for the classes?
I like oatmeal
17:06......I'm surprised at how many wheat heads the stripper header is missing. Should it have been cutting a little lower on the stalk? Seems like they are hurting their yield by not getting all the wheat.
It looks like its missing the heads in places but I checked them and the grain is sucked out of them.
Cliff meadows I’m betting it’s getting all the grain out of the field
@@farmhandmike Great!!! I was a little worried. I hate to see wasted food!
If it’s a humid or a little tough it looks like it’s leaving heads but it’s not. Actually works better then when it’s to dry. Have to slow head down when it gets dry or you’ll loose to much wheat out the front of the header
Seems like traditional heads would yield more
Should be same yield, but you can see the speed advantage in the video.
Great videos. No show girls again. What up with that? Thank you.
Of course thay will clean up the corners. God forbid thay leave some for wildlife
Great video Mike
