It's great to see father and kids working together and make it work. You father has a great wisdom with equipment because all the equipment he has ran.
I was pulling out a dozer that was stuck in the mud with my dozer and it lifted the backend of my dozer over off the ground maybe a foot or a little less. The wire rope snapped and my dozer crashed back down that foot or so. I didn’t have my seatbelt on and it threw me into the top of the cab. I’m still surprised I didn’t break my neck or worse because I hit so hard. That was the last time ever that I didn’t put my seatbelt on. It only takes one time and it happens faster than you can react. Now, even when I’m getting in my car or truck I put my seatbelt on before I start the car or truck. It’s the same thing I do when I get on any piece of heavy equipment regardless of how easy the job is or how smooth the terrain. I got lucky that one time and that lesson was learned.
I work for a Helena fertilizer and chemical location here in western Minnesota. It was very wet for late spring and early summer. We really didn't have any trouble getting the fertilizer floaters stuck but the big sprayers were stuck many times. The hillsides were the worst. For a period of time some of the ground was dry on top but mush underneath. We run pretty fast when spraying and one of the guys fell in so fast and deep that it threw him out of the seat on top of the steering wheel. The unit went down so deep and fast that the front fill tube was broken off. A safety lesson learned by all of us to say the least.
@@terenceblanchette9059 I’ve gotten dozers stuck in ground conditions just as you’ve described. Luckily not as hard of a drop but we move much slower on dozers. Back when I first started running dozers my boss dropped through a sink hole that hadn’t collapsed yet and literally stood his dozer straight down on the blade. It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Busted his forehead open a little but was okay otherwise.
Thank you Brian and Bob for sharing your thoughts on the Ideal9. Really enjoyed listening to your conversation. Sad to hear about the drought in your area. Was almost drought condition in June up here in west central Ohio, but since then it hasn't stop raining. Corn looks like 250 bu plus and double crop beans look like they might easily make 50 if frost doesn't come early. With grain prices in the toilet it's going to be a difficult year for farmers even without a drought. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family for a safe harvest.
There are examples of appropriately sized grain carts towed by the combine harvester (harvesting dried down corn for grain). The combine towed grain cart is filled by the combine's unloading auger straight behind. The grain cart has its own engine, examples usually have the grain cart's auger out to the left. If the combine cuts up and down on one side of the corn stand, the cart auger could be swapped to the right side of the towed grain cart. Similar is done in Western Australia with wheat etc harvesting on tramlines. In WA, the cart tractor to follow directly behind the combine harvester, the tractor has an auger from front to rear over the top of the tractor to fill the grain cart. (CTF controlled traffic farming)
CaseIH did work on a dual side unload at one time. it was a center auger that would swing out to either side. First thought was in the front of the grain tank but that made the auger too high and put limits on grain tank size and extensions. Second thought was at the rear of the tank but limited the operators view of the auger along with having the auger sticking out the back of the combine for miles as well as made accessing the engine compartment difficult.
It requires a clean sheet look at combine design to implement a layout that would be functional. If anyone else remembers, the ideal was touted as a clean sheet design, but other than massively long rotors it's hard to say they really diverged from what was the well trod path of legacy designs. Probably difficult to get something different to pass a board meeting in a big company, but my hats off to anyone who still believes real innovation is worth pursuing and keeps trying anyhow. We need that more than ever
It will be interesting to see how the Ideal will perform in corn/beans. We tried a 2022 Ideal . It worked well in the corn but we had trouble in soybeans as we had terrible green stems that year. Our CNH machines had trouble with them too. We kept a JD 9650 cylinder/walker machine with real aggressive cylinder bars and it would run them. We were all JD until four years ago. Our local dealership had been bought out several years before and we had just finally had enough troubles with the new ownership. We switched combines to CNH then an have Demoed CNH and AGCO planters and tractors since then. We planned to update two tractors this year but the low grain prices has move that back at least one season. Thank you for your review and opinions on the equipment you run.
Bob's looking very refreshed after the harvest. Nice combine. We have a relatively new AGCO dealer about 50 miles from our farm. Not many Fendt machines in our area yet, however, they will come with time.
Thanks this video Brian and Bob. I thought this question and answer session was absolutely wonderful. I greatly enjoyed both of you just talking about the combine and farming in general. Very very informative and relaxing type visit with both of you. I thought it was a great session and really liked just be able to visit about farming. Do something like this again, many thanks!!!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good information - I had wondered why you changed the concaves without any use on new parts but I know how fast and easy a task is done, the more likely it will be. Good video - keep up the good work.
Just started watching and I've already got a comment 😂 first combine I ran when I was a kid was a 65 gleaner E. Aftermarket white fiberglass cab. 10' rigid grain table an 2 row wide corn head. Now I have a 90 CIH 1660. Wow what a difference! Keep up the good work Bob.
That's a really good synopsis of the first run with the combine. Given your labor situation, I think you did the right thing going with bigger capacity over 2 machines, especially with planting behind the combine, and having at least one hauling the grain away from the combine. The tracks will pay you back for years to come, less compaction. Great video!
Like the difference between a zero turn mower and a regular mower. The response is instant, no slack in steering like a steering wheel. Once you get use to it you don't go back.
The first self-propelled combine on our farm was a Gleaner E just like Bob back in the 70's. The biggest Gleaner we ever had was an M2. My brother now runs Case IH.
Great Video the Brown Family, My comment would be that Gleaners have always been odd combines, claas are high capacity and reliable, the Ideal is a new combine and you guys have had a attractive deal, thanks for sharing
I remember a combine with the dual sided unloaded being tested in our wheat . I was 10 yrs old I think. Versatile 2000 pull type . It ran circles around our L2 till they cooked the engine on their tractor 😅
Thanks for the excellent presentation about the Ideal combine. The sensitivity of the steering joystick should progressively decrease with increasing groundspeed.
I was working in Idaho one year and they got 15-20" of rain on wheat, barely and down hay. The black mold was so bad the combines looked like they were on fire, the big balers looked like they were on fire, and I was miserable. Most of the malt barely sprouted and the brewers wouldn't take it.
Always good to see Mr. Bob and very informative Brian I feel yalls pain with the dryness we had so much rain the first half of the year and now we can't beg for any in east texas.
Saw quite a few Fendt combines out west (US2 from west coast to MInnesota) but there are very few, as in none in my area of WC Indiana. Geringhoff heads have become very popular around here, in fact the local CIH dealer is selling them. The nearest AGCO dealer is 70 miles away, so that makes service calls challenging. Probably 60% green, 35% red and a few yellow machines around here. Very enjoyable discussion, thank you.
Biggest problem with going from 2 machines to one is when you want to run two different crops.. otherwise it's nice just have one machine and an extra guy to do all the other stuff and hual a few loads.
@208SledHead at the dealership I work at, we can't keep them on a farm. They get rid of them after 1 season. The fendt can't get a clean sample. When fendt figures them out, they will be an amazing machine, they are just not there yet. Great on small grains.
Did I hear right. There's a second combine on its way? Just like you, I would be concerned about my dealership making BIG changes. Here in Indiana it's been a nightmare. No matter what anyone says, service and sales controlled by a headquarters located in another state matters. Poor support for the communities, (FFA and 4H and county fairs) and pricing and customer satisfaction is less a concern for the company. Bob, you'll remember back in 1974-75, we had a black dust on our wheat. Came in looking like a coal miner. (i was combining with a Gleaner E 3).
Enjoy your videos very much. My family visited Ruby Falls in Chattanooga TN last week and saw a picture on their wall of a Bill and Bessie Marlow in the 1940’s. It was donated by Nancy Marlow Brown of Chillicothe. I took a picture of this if this is part of your family
Very good video Brian and Bob one question in old days farmers left the unload auger out all the time in the field now it’s folded in is it because of weight
The review was very interesting and honest. In my opinion. Was surprisingly surprised about liking the Joystick. I figured dad would be hard to get used to. 😊 Old gays can learn new tricks 😂
It’s so hard to tell just how big the machines on video. I usually gauge the height by you standing next to the track. You said the width of a dual is 17-18 feet, so I measured it out in my house. I live in mountains in PA, mostly Amish farms(who use actual horse power) or smaller farms with combines half the size. Idk how they keep from rolling on the hillsides they run here. If you look up Lycoming County PA, you’ll see mountain farming
It's like "Workin Words"!!! I really enjoyed your podcast and would love to hear more. Your father is so hard to understand in the videos but I really like to hear what he has to say.
@@BriansFarmingVideos I wonder if it is the ideal drive that slow down the steering. We went from a 770 TT to a 10T whit steering wheel and 900 mm tracks and 750 rear wheels. The 10T steering is way faster and twitchy than the old 770 making it easier to turn on the headland.
With long enough auger you can unload having it turned back, just get the tractor right behind the head and turn the auger over the wagon. At least with Claas you can.
Once again you guys give very good reviews. Cut to the chase and you don't just talk about cup holders. I was very interested to know on what year they did upgrade the rear impellers in the back of the combine. I am wondering if the aftermarket impeller upgrades on the 22 and older ones actually worked right. And the meantime if I ever buy a Fendt ideal combine it won't be anything older than a 2023. I think if you're not combining a lentils or canola I think the combine's going to serve you well
talking about the powel ladder thats cool but i think Claas were very smart with their,ladder being portable you can use on several locations,for,servicing,or repairing.
I reme,ber in 2001 I went from 2 to 1 combine because of labor I became more efficient w. When I ran 2 a lot of ti,especially one broke both stopped to fix it
They already had a prototype 50ft dyna flex head on a Gleaner with a swivel auger like they got that was folding. Agco wouldn't allow engineering to test strength of auger , just the header. Since all they care about is developing crap for fendt. They only spend a million or so on improving Gleaner a year but 5 to 10 or more times that improving fendt. Should of stayed with Gleaner, they can run 5000 bushel an hour. Someone out in Kansas is doing it with 16 row head on it. For the flat ground you guys run, it would do it there too. Less parts, less weight, easier to service, easier to set, and a lot cheaper to run with the Gleaner. T1 series has some nice updates that im not going to say other than it has transmission and finals of ideal 7. If they can hold up on that overweight turd, they'll last forever on a Gleaner. Dynamite comes in small packages but gives big results.

A lot of great questions and answers. Two more different crops and we'll get the whole picture of how the Fendt holds up. Great video, thanks.

Very considerate of you and your father to take time to answer questions.
Yeah for fuel consumption you have to look at acres per gallon, not gallons per hour.
Enjoyed the video with you and you're Dad. God bless you all
I always enjoy Mr Bobs combine review videos. I bet there arent many men on youtube with his experience.
He’s ran a combine since 1964 so probably not
He is MR FARMER........
Good video. Glad you like your investment!
Running about every color also! It's nice to get some prospective from someone who is unbiased

Versatile had a pull type combine years ago which allowed you to unload on both sides, it was pretty cool
Very valuable and informative video. Thank you Browns.

Like the difference between a zero turn mower and a regular mower. The response is instant, no slack in steering like a steering wheel. Once you get use to it you don't go back.
Honeybees are my favorite to watch. They really do look like they float like a bee.
I had some wheat damaged by 2 late freezes 2 nights in a row one year and it had LOTS of black dust (and almost a total loss in South Carolina)

There’s a bigger sheer bolt for that beater we put them on our 10ts. We also run the 750 rears on our 10ts aswell nice floatation in wet
Have you been able to get the 750s to turn tight enough. That’s what I have and would like to try and tighten up the headlands
@@jd7461 I can turn on 2 headlands with 2 45ft outside rounds.
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions about your new combine . 😊
Never driven one but I would assume the tracks increase the turning radius as well. A lot more ground contact but better ride I would think.
Always good to see Mr. Bob and very informative Brian I feel yalls pain with the dryness we had so much rain the first half of the year and now we can't beg for any in east texas.

Wheat harvest. Wait a few weeks and they'll be running corn and beans.
your going to have to get different sieves for small grain also. Cant do.decent job with corn seives

If you go on the Fendt configurator web page today, an Ideal 9 is 850k, and 980k with 36 inch tracks. But again, thats MSRP :)
Great show. Hope you could do more sit downs like this in the future. A after harvest review would be cool.
Great job on the video, thumbs up for having you dad in the video

There is shims at the back if you take out it will steer shorter. look in your book it shows what can be done.
I believe we are adjusted as far as we can with the wheel we have

How is George? Please say hello to George. We miss him.
With long enough auger you can unload having it turned back, just get the tractor right behind the head and turn the auger over the wagon.
At least with Claas you can.
That's crazy machine but 50hrs a cut seems like you could run that beast 50 times that hrs if you had the acres. Like a space ship wow.
Hopefully you'll get rain when needed and dry when needed. God Bless.
Thanks for the update
You bet
Great video! Thanks for taking the time.
Thanks for watching!
Once again you guys give very good reviews. Cut to the chase and you don't just talk about cup holders. I was very interested to know on what year they did upgrade the rear impellers in the back of the combine. I am wondering if the aftermarket impeller upgrades on the 22 and older ones actually worked right. And the meantime if I ever buy a Fendt ideal combine it won't be anything older than a 2023. I think if you're not combining a lentils or canola I think the combine's going to serve you well
Pop knows his stuff! (You kids too, of course!)
talking about the powel ladder thats cool but i think Claas were very smart with their,ladder being portable you can use on several locations,for,servicing,or repairing.
this combine has the same kind of ladder to the engine compartment.
I reme,ber in 2001 I went from 2 to 1 combine because of labor I became more efficient w. When I ran 2 a lot of ti,especially one broke both stopped to fix it
Ease of Maintenance: The machine's design simplifies maintenance, with features like the Copperhead concaves that streamline crop transitions.
😍😍😍
It’s one of those years. Browns have it too dry and Larsons have it too wet.

Dynamite comes in small packages but gives big results.
Nicely said: I agree
I used to run a case combine and it used 20gal/h on a 36 ft header , so I say the Fend is doing pretty good
What model,?
@@interman7715 it’s been a while, forgot the model number, I believe it’s the same then the Welkers, 8240? 480 hp, I was just the driver

Glad to hear it!
GOOD JOB VERY INTERESTING
heard down in alabama they are running corn and tenn - same stuff - corn is burnt up , indiana has some drought damage also
Enjoyed the talk. Dang! I think you're caught up!😊
Thank you BFV!
Brian, the joystick sensitivity is adjustable, don't know if you can do it yourself or if fendt does it, but I'm positive it can be done.
It's not
I was able to understand a lot of what they said.
Thanks
Great review. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.
thanks for the video .
Well done lots of good information
I like these one on ones with your dad
Dude what do you miss!!! “POWER LADDER!!! “””
First time I could understand what your dad says
You guys praying for rain.We can't get it to stop.(south-west Ontario.)
Great Q&A good info
Does it have an adjustable rear tire width? If so, you could increase the spread and then adjust the turn stops for a tighter turn radius.
Going to a single combine don’t you have a single point of failure? What happens if the Fendt stops working in the middle of your harvest?
Gleaner is coming out with a new combine/ or major upgrades
