Bigger combines are great but what happens when you trade after 2-3 years? Depreciation is through the roof on these class 10 machines because big farmers don’t want used big machines And for smaller farms they are too big and expensive. There has to be a balance and I fear we are tipping the scale in the wrong direction.
@@jeremynoble1452 yeah there was a steady market for the used class 7 machines but the market is saturated in 8’s now. Now there are too many 8 for the market and 8 are not the big machines at all. Most are gonna have 3 models above 8
They will need bigger combines. The less combines the lesser the compaction unless they use tracks. Big combines get the job done fast especialy if they are harvesting huge fields like the new new holland and case jd fendt and claas class 10+ combines.
@ that aint the issue. Smaller producers dont need to do 70000 bu a day. So those machines dont make economic sense. If you need to do 20k a day class 7 or 8 will do that. We are running 2 class 7 and can do 30k in a day. But we need more machines because we double crop. And speed on wheat and soybeans matter more to us.
Everybody forgets about Claas. The current corn harvest record is held by an 8600 lexion. That is a claas 8 combine. The machine ran 7200 bushels per hour for 10 hours. I have personally ran an 8600 lexion on a 12 row head. We were going 6.5 mph unloading on the go in 200 bushel corn. Barely 50% engine load. An 8800 lexion would probably eat things lunch
@MRSludgedude there's a couple of videos out there of it doing 8k no sweat. Problem is, as many know, the intake for that volume (trucks, etc) is not at parity in many cases, just like in this video
Grain carts slow down the operation by having to go back and forth to combines and trucks as well as making more fines in the grain from the extra augering. As well, more ground is being compacted by using carts. Taking into consideration the hauling distance and by having the right ratio of trucks to combines, unloading on the go into the trucks would smooth out the harvesting operation. As we know, unloading on the go into trucks is the way it is done for some other crops.
How many times are you going to leave the same stupid comment on multiple channels? If you drive a truck into those fields it would be stuck immediately and that’s not even taking into consideration the compaction a loaded semi would cause
@@clearskiesranch1362 Some fields are rock hard at harvest time. Just think of an Elmers 3000 bu ( mother bin of a cart) hunting down combines for fillups.
@@John-nc4bl sounds like someone who hasn’t dealt with logistics on high yeild corn. Ground pressure on the carts is less than most semis. Lots of places have fields not accessible to trucks. Wet years carts unload trucks on roads. Keeping the combine going is hard enough with a cart in the field. I put 200 hours on a tractor running a cart this year.
@@dufinsmrtsthe AF11/10/9. are not built in belgiun only the CR11/10. The AF11 is only for the US. The CASE AF10/9 will be for europe but not built in europe. Its only the CR11/10 that will be for europe and that means the uk will have the CR11/10 and the AF10/9 that means we will have the mighty CR11 and AF10 as the biggest twin rotor and single rotor combines ever in the uk. Wow thats crazy
Must be nice to work you butt off and give all your money to equipment companies. Farmers are like dogs chasing their tail till low prices and embargoes hit.
Every time I watch it, I love agricultural technology more
Its great that technology keeps advancing.

The Fendt Idea can hook up to the head from the cab
in real life its useless ;)
Just like the Ideal
Minneapolis Moline is coming out with a forty five row picker on there new combine.
Bro that's the funniest thing I've ever heard 😂

Yea. There is all of 3 dealers in the entire United States 😅
There's lots of 8800 Lexions around here and no, they won't touch this combine, the 8900 might
Can this do more than a 8900 lex?
No
@joescheller6680 I've only ran the old TR and S Deeres but wanted to know .
Yes, it can. I saw the af11 at over 9k bu of corn/hr and engine still under 100%
@sew1194 damn that's insane. That's almost what 3 s690s can do. I don't much about this new stuff just run older machines.

Fendt already has autodock
Just that no one cares about the not so IDEAL

@ yes and the 3000 bushel cart also has the largest tracks in the industry. I

If we buy red ones we keep our people employed since they are built in Nebraska.
Not so with the yellow ones.
That's not the way a global economy works. Otherwise, farmers in other countries won't buy the red ones.
They’re built in the same factory in Nebraska
