Hey Mike, I see where Big Bud is going to start making tractors again. 650 to 750 HP Cat C-18 engine, Cat 18 speed powershift transmission, and 70,000 lbs of weight, and designed so that anyone can work on it. Sounds like what you have been asking for.
Cup holder in the arm rest so spilled coffee can get on the buttons and stop u from combining sounds like a great idea 😂 reminds me off the old deere forage harvester
Hey Mike the trap door at back of inside of hopper is mainly just used for when you break a shear pin bolt on concave, it’s about a 5 minute to change, I’ve only ever had them break while picking up barley swaths and take it a nasty clump/ pile, but yes those led lights and flashers are stupid bright! And have yet to plug a CR and I’ve been running the neighbors for years, most you’ll plug is the feeder house, and man a lot of guys in my area have gotten the new cr’s! And that’s with dealer support of all 5 brands in my local area! And when it’s tough going the cr will walk passed everything else and they gotta shut down! And I’ve hauled grain off of them all and cr has the best sample!
Newer models have an electric concave reset system above the rotors that is accessible from inside grain tank for repairs. To reset concave everything is done from your operators seat.
I doubt that's his deciding factor (vice reliability, serviceability, performance, dealer support, etc.). Given the hours an operator can put in the cab, and how comfort, convenience and ergonomic issues can affect operator performance (and thus the end result), they're relevant details to consider and point out.
New Holland puoneered the twin rotor as far as i can remember. And boy they are knenif the few very experienced combine builders of all time. Perhaps im biaised because i cut my harvesting teeth on the Clayson New Holland back in the '80s.
The same guy designed the NH and the IH combines. He designed the twin rotor when he worked for IH. But IH said it was cost prohibitive and told him to simply it. He then quit and was hired by NH. IH actually came out 1 year earlier than NH.
Hey Mike. That Donaldson part by the engine looked like a Centrifugal by-pass oil filter. Really great for Diesel motor oil. Pulls out alot of soot from the oil.
That right side door is so if your out walking around while on autopilot, if you happen to be on that side when something goes wrong you can just quickly open the door to get to your controls!!!!😜😄
That back visor is actually quite handy at night time when you’re empty. It’s a class 10. The concaves are 1 piece cause if you put a wad through they drop down so you can’t plug rotor. it has a auto reset to pull them back up Into place. If you don’t pay for the auto reset that door in the hopper is to change shear pins we’ve never needed to open ours. When we demoed a 10.9 last year our 10.9’s way outperformed should get one for a demo would be curious how you like them.
A lot of the manufacturers put sunscreen with holes in their machines, they block some of the sun out but I like the solid screen that some use. I think MacDon Industries uses a solid one. They are much better.
Mike, I recommend demoing a 9.90 or 10.90 if you have a NH dealer in your area, I'd really like to hear what you think of the original twin rotor and how it compares to deere and ideal
@Allthingsgood ComefromHim I work for one in Kansas, that dealer needs to get them one out to demo. I personally think a CR is hard to beat and we even run old case machines, I work on them and they are just simple machines not over complicated
Hey Mike, the New Holland door on the right side of the cab is for those operators who prefer righthand drive models with a bonus platform for standing & taking a pee! (Not all farmers are lucky enough to find toilets in their fields like you & Lee). 😉😀
Funny that few years ago,John Deere,said they would not have a rotory combine,but how they have,and also a twin ,on the x9,i think they copy NEW HOLLAND!!! NEW HOLLAND IS THE BETTER COMBINE!!!!
Buy it! For me of course. I'll give you our cr9070 for trade. Imo twin rotor is the way to go. I'm assuming their patent expired a while ago as now a lot of manufacturers are coming out with twin rotors.
The plastic fuel tanks really aren't that bad i don't think, if your combine is on fire enough to melt a plastic fuel tank then it was a lost cause anyway. I work for a dealer that services over 100 CRs every year and ever since the CR came out we have only ever had one burn and that was from a bearing failure on the engine.
I believe that you can still get a old Ford model T and hang the honey bee out the front of that, or go back to the old massey 760, maybe the seat would be better. LOL Combines have come along way in the last 20 years.
Excellent video, thanks for sharing this. I enjoy being a longtime subscriber to your great channel. May I please ask you why you opt to use a shank rather than no till disc seed drill for your particular farm? Given your expertise, I am certain that you have a very good reason(s), I am simply very curious to learn what that rationale might be, if you're willing to share the good reasons for why you opted for the seeding system that you use.
Can't give you Mikes reasons, but in my experience, some are: 1. Less bearings, so less wear (including durability in stony fields) 2. Cheaper 3. Sidewall compaction (from disc system) could be a factor, when the soil is hard and/or wet I prefer the simplicity of tines/shanks over the benefits of low disturbance discs (But it can be a major factor in weed management)
@@GreenEyeNB - I seed 7200 acres each year and have had both types for nine years now ... when I pencil it out the added cost of wearable parts for the disc drill is completely offset by less draft thus less fuel use per acre, when diesel is above $1.37 per liter. Below that, the shank drill over those nine years is net-cheaper. Above 1.37 per liter then the disc drill, in my experience and on our own land, begins to be net-cheaper.
@@sean3223a Yeah I guess if the fuel prices stay high, that could be a gamechanger. I still hope, they will normalize in the long run ha ha. We have everything from sand to heavy clay and it's easier to firm up chunks of soil than to "pinch down" open slits (Both is far from perfect).
