By the way that wheat was mounding up in the combine grain tank, it looked a little wet to me. We run a pair of 9770's with Macdon drapers for beans and wheat. We need the straw for cattle so we typically cut pretty low and windrow the straw, then bale immediately behind the combine. Then we plant beans after if it hasn't gotten too late in the year. Our wheat usually isn't ready till late June or early July.
Running a NH 10.9 with 40’ Mac don just finished cutting last years canola that spent the winter under a Canadian snow blanket, frost boils still coming out of the ground last week of May , what a crazy year
My Greatuncle here in Eastern Colorado used the 30 ft shelborn stripper header with three 9600 combines. He used it more for its speed and also for the fact you mentioned about less stress on the combine itself.
Been a while since I’ve posted but still loving the videos and learning so much. I’ve learned more from your channel about the different types of farming and reasons why than from school and 2 years of working the fields. I love the variety of farming practices that are used and how inputs and practices can be cost effective in different applications
Here in michigan we do the opposite and cut our wheat lower than normal. This helps the planter go through the straw for better sigulation. We have been double cropping soybeans after wheat for 20 years. This year we have almost 900 acres of winter wheat. Our wheat is 3 weeks away from harvest. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
We used our MF 3342 SP with 18ft close front or header because less wear n tear on drum n other parts of combine. We now have CaseIH red top 8010 with 40ft Draper front which improvers intake of crop. For canola we use windrower MF 9435 with 25ft that swaths into rows then CaseIH 8010 with 14ft picks up swaths. Most farmers here in Australia do this way but we have try direct cut but fail because stem are to green with canola.
3500 acres in Sturgeon County Alberta. Run a 56 foot JD Conservapak air seeder pulled by a Steiger 500HD. Harvest Canola Wheat Barely Oats with 2 9870 JD combines and 35 MacDon flex headers. Canola gets swathed with a premier 2952i swather with 30 Macadon harvest header. 1200 bushel grain cart on a 9390 Steiger
Wow! I am very impressed with the no till system on this farm. If you're able to in the future it would be great to have information on yields per acre too. I appreciate some farmers might not want to share this information of course.
Nice explanation and quite interesting to see how is the harvesting process in different parts of the world. I wasn't noticed about that way of working. Here in Spain and Europe we use typical headers that harvest all the plant (grain and straw) so we don't leave the stubble so tall. Instead of that we shred the straw and this is a way to provide the fields of nitrogen and organic material that is quite important for the direct seeding as you said. It will be great to know your productivity using this way of farming
We find the stripper fronts can actually cause more wear in some parts of the combine. The shaker shoe is designed to run with a load on it but when using a stripper front the load is so small that over time they shake themselves to pieces.
In Overberg region of the Western Cape in South Africa we swath our wheat with a MacDon M155 with a 35ft front, sometimes even double swath the rows into 70ft windrows if the straw is to be baled and we harvest with a Claas Lexion 770 with a 16ft swathup pickup header
Some farmers use stripper heads in Aorteroa (New Zealand) Always looks like someone has driven around the field before it was harvested! They can handle big yields at speed, but the advantage is that you don't get a matt of straw on the ground that is associated with high yielding wheat crops. If you are not growing more than 3.2 ton per acre you dont need one.
I use a versatile pull-type swather on a 7710 Ford and an International 1482 with a pickup head on a Case IH 3594. Combine the Hard Red Spring wheat and oats that way, in West Central Minnesota.
Here in Western Alberta we have to windrow our cereals and pulse crops. On a really good year we can get away with direct cutting wheat, but it's usually needing to be swathed in order to dry down enough
Here on our dairy farm in Queensland Australia we harvest our wheat or barley with a White 8900 combine with a 22ft reel and auger grain head and leave a straw windrow in the field so we can bale it for our cattle
You do an outstanding job with making your videos, I look forward to watching the Kentucky wheat harvest every year especially the one with the multiple combines goingIn thousand Acre Fields acre fields. Here in southern New Jersey we use 925 flex head with the 9500 combine
Wow! That is so cool. Especially like the fuel efficiency, soil conservation, soybean crop protection. Is there any downside to this methodology at all? Thanks much for the before-after video sequence too
From what I understand, getting the soil microbial activity where it's needed can take time, and pest control may be an issue. There's a lot of folks who still choose to till and many who strip till, which is where they till only rows that the plants sit in. I'm no expert but there are definitely folks who have tried no till and gone back and vice versa. If you can no till however, talk about a huge advantage. Plowing is the biggest source of fuel consumption and cutting it out is money left in your pocket.
Thank you for this video. It's answer really good to the question I had about this way to harvest the grains. Always nice to see your video. Continue your great work!!
we use a jd s670 hillco with 630 flex on clean small grains and beans,if the small grains are weedy we swath then use a 612 pickup head to harvest perty much all oats in sw wisc.
If interested in wheat straw, the best way is Shelbourne stripper head on the wheat that makes the stalk of the wheat have hardly any crimp or flaw then run a swather head in behind combine which is a reel, cutter bar, draper to get into throat of a machine wo a throat, whose just windows it for the baler
Chad, do I understand correctly from your comment above that the remaining straw stalks are not damaged or cracked? If that is correct, then such good quality straw has good potential for a new use that I am currently exploring. Please reply. Brendan Doyle, California
@@jwedel1777 you lose valuable plant matter when take off the straw something you need to understand about no tilling you need to let standing straw and corn stalks decompose naturally
Usually a stripper head runs much faster than a direct cut head. I think he was going slow for that bit of downed wheat and to add to the video the mechanics of how the header works.
These fronts add 25 to 30% more capacity to your combine. So if you traveled at 10kmph with a draper header it would be 12.5 to 13kmph with this. This is a side by side comparison on 12m tramlines.
@@braydenwallace213 yes normally go lot faster as less going through the machine for separating the straw which slows you down here hardly any separating to do
yes we also have the 760 terra trac with 45 ft draper head eats crop like crazy. the grain cart operator is run crazy tryin to keeo up between catching grain off combine and loading trucks
I wouldn't haven't believed this, but I saw it first hand while I was in the Air Force and Stationed at Shaw AFB SC. The soybean crop looked great too!
There is a large farm here in western Nebraska that use draper heads. the combine puts the chafe a debris into a windrow. A tractor and bailer follow behind to make large sq bails of straw.
Dont see many stripper headers in the uk, as either chop the straw or windrow it for baling for animal bedding. There are a few farms experimenting with stripper headers, but mainly use a stripper head on grass seed.
My in-laws use a Gleaner M-2 and a Gleaner N-6 with conventional headers. There are one or two farmers in their area who use stripper heads for no-till farming.
Excellent video, I appreciate the annoyance of showing the soy growing in the stubble, all the agriculture channels see planters in action but the result is rarely seen, thanks for sharing
No they would not. If you get those heads into the ground, you will not only tear up the rows of tines on the head, but you will also damage the feeder house and driveshafts on the combine.
Being in the Kansas wheat belt and having experience with three different types of headers cutting wheat, I would rank them as 1: Draper, 2: Auger, and 3: Stripper head. I personally would never run a stripper head in my operation. My family farms and I also work as a part time farm hand for other farms in the area and a guy I worked for last year ran a stripper head. That head and others that other run leave the worst looking fields in the entire area of Southwest Kansas, and keep in mind that with our crop rotation, that land will not have another crop planted on it in 2020, bit will either be planted in the spring or fall of 2021 in order to save moisture as our yearly rainfall is around 18" per year. The volunteer wheat that stripper heads leave behind is terrible. You could almost cut a second crop of wheat off of the fields it is so bad. And when I saw the guy go through that down wheat, I winced because I have heard horror stories of those things in down wheat, even though that is what they were first advertised at being good at in Southwest KS. I have heard that if those things hit the ground at all, it will not only break those bars in the header but will also damage the feeder house on the front of the combine. So, with all of that, I know each farm works differently and functions on different principles, but just from what I personally hear and see, I just don't trust them to cut my crop of wheat. I'll stick with any sort of platform before I try a stripper head.
As always, excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to explain this, and all of the other methods. Very informative and intriguing. Thank you again, from a fellow Kentuckian.
Our neighbour ran shelbourns for years but the early ones ran hard plastic combs not SSteel, he said the header was hard on front rims of combines what with extra weight and running faster
Stripper heads are going popularity in western OK too! It doesn’t seem like much, but I’d say 10% of the wheat in our region is done with stripper headers
we have been harvesting with these stripper headers for almost 10 years now in Southern Alberta. Doing peas, wheat, barley and even canola. We seed directly back into the tall stubble with disc drills. We prefer the tall stubble to the mat created by straight cutting. We use the XVC 36 with CaseIH 8230's and we have 3 of them.
We use a stripper header just like this one for our rice fields that we are going to seed crawfish in then in March we harvest the crawfish till around June. We use a stripper header cause it leaves the straw in the fields and the straw is food for the crawfish.
great video. I've always wondered about these. Looks like a slow process of harvesting wheat. What group soybeans are they planting and what was the planting date? The heat out there must give more heat units to the crop to get it to grow and mature faster?
A farm just north of me uses a Shelbourne head on their wheat as well then double crop soybeans into the stubble. They've done this for years and it works well on their operation. When the straw breaks down it provides nutrients for the soybeans. Great video Jason. Appreciate all your efforts and explaining why farms use certain methods. GO BTP!!!💪🤙👍😁
Why do all of the machines have duel wheels spaced apart? Wouldn't it make more sense to have one wide tire or wider duels and no spacing (for example 2x 600mm duel rear wheels)? Thanks
The row crop duals are for corn harvest to help save the tires. Corn stalks can really wear on a tire and take out chunks of rubber. The row crop dual runs between the rows and reduces wear on the tire.
Was wondering if the long straw promotes challenges in spraying fungicides or when harvesting the beans? Granted the threshing of the wheat is minimal but would that not make for a tougher harvest of beans with more material being fed through the combine?
Following harvesting of the grain heads using a Shelbourne header, are the remaining standing straw stalks damaged in any way? Brendan Doyle, California
Does the financial benefits of leaving the wheat straw intact and planting a second crop with the straw offering protection substantially outweigh the return of harvesting the wheat straw as feedstock or is it so close it only comes down to individual preferences?
How much grain gets lost with a stripper head vs. a conventional cutter head? How do they deal with all the crop trash after picking the beans what with the bean stalks and the residue from the wheat straw?
@@Kornn66 he probably slowd down a little becouse of the video.. but it might be he also slowd down extra becouse of the spotot of downd corn so the head should be given time to suck up all the downd corn. also driving fast is a economical question! if you say have 10.000+ acres you probably need to run as fast as the maskine can go, but loose a few % of the harvest + use extra fuel. but if you sa have 100 acres you need every penny so driving slow give more harvest-less wear and tear--- less fuel use and so on
These videos make me understand different ways of farming, thanks for posting these
all those little bean plants all nestled between the wheat stalks is so satisfying

Some do and some don't . It depends on their individual areas of water availability.
Nice informative video big T
👍👍👍
great video here in central Louisiana all the wheat straw is burned before the farmers plant the soybeans.
Thanks for this video! Never been up close to one of these Shelbourne headers
Very interesting video. First time I have seen wheat harvested this way.
It was always like that, at least in my country. I remember when i was a kid, that we need to mow what was left.
I bet the JD salesman does a little happy dance when he see's that dude coming haha

Does the standing straw effect the combining of the soybeans?
No, it deteriorates even more and it’s like it’s not even there
The standing straw really just holds liquids allowing the soybeans to grow, its like a little helper to the growth

Following harvesting of the grain heads using a Shelbourne header, are the remaining standing straw stalks damaged in any way?
Brendan Doyle, California
No. They standing straw helps to told moisture in the soil and suppress weed growth. The straw decays naturally back into the soil.
What do you do for bales ?
Does the financial benefits of leaving the wheat straw intact and planting a second crop with the straw offering protection substantially outweigh the return of harvesting the wheat straw as feedstock or is it so close it only comes down to individual preferences?
I'll just add I'm in Australia so it might just be a different approach to how it's done elsewhere 🤙
How much grain gets lost with a stripper head vs. a conventional cutter head? How do they deal with all the crop trash after picking the beans what with the bean stalks and the residue from the wheat straw?
Can this header harvest grain sorghum/maize??
It can not. It is set up to harvest small grains like wheat, barely and oats.
Very interesting. An appreciation from far far away! Col, NZ.

Who's operation is this? From Western Kentucky and I dont see too many headers like this around.
I'm guessing Robey
Fascinating video with interesting new combine technology, but just a little curious to see how the the straw affects the harvest of the soya beans.
Great video - I think stripper heads are quite popular in Australia too.
That looks like great way to increase the value of those farms that can use it. Very cool!
It is a neat process to see.
Great info!
Pretty cool way to plant the second crop of soybeans. Thumbs up !!
Just saw one of these headers for the first time had to look on u tube to see how they actually work
Awesome Video!!
Are there a lot of farm jobs up in western kentucky?
