Crazy to see the changes made over the years. First combine I operated was an IH 715, then made jumps to IH 1460, and finally a CIH 1640. Still use the 1460 and 1640 to this day. Another great video, thank you!!
Another Great Video! I grew up on a beet & bean farm in Michigan's Thumb. Like you we raised beets, 6 varieties of dry beans (including pintos), wheat and corn. In the day we raised malting barley when there was a market for it.
Greetings Mitch and thank you for another fun and informative vid. May I make a suggestion to grow the BFM brand? UA-cam shorts. Perhaps an occasional 1 minute post that acts a "fill in" between your longer vids. Your wholesome brand has ample opportunities for quick, informative and fun content. Examples from today's post: What's important about pinto bean moisture content? Or wheat? Or corn? How many acres can you harvest in one shift? Why is a clean air filter important during a dusty harvest? What/why variety of pinto bean do you plant/harvest? When are you able to eat during the long day (love it when Jenny and your little son hop aboard). Tell us about the soil and why pinto beans grow so good in the Red River Valley. Etc. Cheers from SW Waukesha County.
I remember as a kid, we went from a 12 head to an 18 foot head and we thought we were poopin in tall cotton. Of course we only had a 12’ wide drill so planting and harvest went on forever.
I love seeing the AF11 getting used in so many different applications, and those transitions were really good. I wonder how often that 50 foot head looked like it would clip the corn
First Combine Dad had early 60s was a 303 with no cab. My Dad ate a lot of dust back then. My Mom after he passed, always said he was a "Tough Old Bird" LOL
Great video!! Always like to see details on the amazing equipment you folks use. Question....I have restored a 1941 WWII half track, so I know the advantages that tracks have for mud, sand, etc..... I'm sure tracks on a farming equipment add to the cost. Are there other advantages you see other than just additional traction? Thanks, and keep the "technical" video's coming!!!
What,.....no snacks in the storage compartments?!?! What kind of a dealer is that?!?! (Ha!Ha!) Is there more room for Jenny and Oliver to ride with you?
When I hear a land flowing with milk & honey that Israel today.This AF 11 sure puts those green Deeres to shame.This is over 100 bushels more then their X9 1100.Since 2011 Deere has been stuck on stupid not allowing any of their main combines beyond 400 bushels while CaseIH & other competitors have raced way beyond that.This AF 11 probably comes with 1 million plus price tag.
That’s not the real isreal.. the reason it’s called the land of milk and honey is because this is the land He promised! The Mississippi is the great River that He broke off into 7 rivers total. It’s the only one in the world that fits the description in the scriptures!! We live in the promised land and they have hid it from us until now and that’s because we are in the age of knowledge which comes in the end days! But don’t take my word for it.. go do some research!! Shalum!.
I am surprised at the amount of dust coming out of the feeder house, usually axial flows suck the dust through . Maybe the rotor speed is slow for pinto beans.
@@beetfarminmitch Right on Mitch! It sure looks like a very nice combine! Love your videos, keep them coming! I am Your Neighbour to North across the border!
Its different. The style is different so its not a NH painted red and it dousnt come from the ssme factory and dousnt have the same rotors as the new holland combine no sirri bob its CNH but they are different and have different formats and programming but it sint the same
@@jezcolborne6329 You must be thinking of a different combine cause even the Case IH combine Reps say it’s the very same as a New Holland except colour and decals.

They do. Mostly it starts with the machinery dealers though. They want their equipment out there. But if you’re considering a new piece of equipment a demo one might help make that decision!
Those internet personality "farmers" in Montana raise dust and not crops, so their harvest amounts to mowing. What a waste of a demo for a fine machine that was on their acreage.
The secret button transformation 😂 Shoot dang I love this channel! So wholesome and uplifting! Thanks for making my day Mitch!

It’s great to see where fresh food comes from.

The garden is thriving Your hard work really shows
Nice to see red equipment keep up good work. Never seen pinto beans harvested so very cool
Very creative approach on this one! Thanks!

It is amazing how much agricultural machinery has progressed in the last 60 years.
Mitch, thanks for your impressive video.
I think that the combine should be running the 61 foot MacDon head.
That would be cool!
Send him one
Nice video. Growing pinto beans must be hell - crop temp was showing 417F at the 5:34 min mark of the video. 😂
Hahahaha, I never noticed that!

Smoother ride in rough terrain and larger footprint to spread out compaction!
Great one 👍👍👍
Tell the local dealer trade two combines for the new one you got now. No extra cash. 😊
I’m impressed with the AF 11 If you are cutting 12% pintos with hardly any splits as that is super low for dry beans.
Me too!
What,.....no snacks in the storage compartments?!?! What kind of a dealer is that?!?! (Ha!Ha!) Is there more room for Jenny and Oliver to ride with you?
It’s seems to be about the same size cab!
Thanks

Sweet!
Where is that out fit from graften or cavalier.
I am surprised at the amount of dust coming out of the feeder house, usually axial flows suck the dust through . Maybe the rotor speed is slow for pinto beans.
It is. 300
I am guessing this would about the same size/class as a X9 1100 ? Cool intro.
They are comparable. AF 11 is bigger overall
will be a lot of x9s in case dealaships in future
BTW man all that mud on the side u can thank me hahah I drove that thing in water while combing wheat up by devils lake 😅
So we run 2 9250s with fd250s they were pushing 3.5 in 80 but wheat and the af11 was doing abt 5.8 with an fd250
Hahaha, nice
axle flow!
I guess you don't have the finger snap trick down yet.
Edit: Looks like you got it later on in the video.
Haha, I usually only film parts once so if I’m off a bit it’s what I roll with
Do you normally straight cut pinto beans or do you usually deroot them then use pickup head to pick them up.
So you liked that New Holland combine in a red dress ah? They say there’s very little between the Case IH AF11 and the New Holland CR11.
Indeed I did!

How many sacks per acre?
sorry to be tardy with watching. hurricane passing through ga
Video is useful
Out of curiosity, why do you combine across rows instead of following them?
It seems like they feed better at an angle, and if your header divider is on a row it will shatter them out. People do both.
Are you still growing Sunflowers and Navy beans?
Neither this year! Probably sunflowers again next year. Market was weak.
Do farmers ask for demos?
They do. Mostly it starts with the machinery dealers though. They want their equipment out there. But if you’re considering a new piece of equipment a demo one might help make that decision!
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Isn’t the AF11 is a single rotor machine?
It’s a twin rotor
AF10 is the same combine, with single rotor.
Watch walker farms, there in Montana, they demo a af11.
11 miles per hour on wheat, not heavy wheat
That whole demo was a waste of resources
Those internet personality "farmers" in Montana raise dust and not crops, so their harvest amounts to mowing. What a waste of a demo for a fine machine that was on their acreage.
Well it was a TEST. At least he loves❤ it
More bushes baked beans
Bush baked beans yuck beans and rice with ham hocks. Then you have something good
