My first agricultural video of today. Many employees or contractors used in the harvesting of corn. I saw a 1600 bushel grain cart other day with a european sounding name, red in color. No one man can do this task, many people are needed. Each combine must have 2 other employees, pulling grain cart, other to drive Mack trucks. Big operation to feed livestock. Enjoyed Episode🚜👍
I could watch this stuff for hours. You do a great job and service for filming this. Hopefully this reaches a lot of people that don’t understand how much work goes into our food supply. I’m a beef cattle farmer but always enjoyed watching the row croppers work.
Thank you for calling them a family farm. So many people assume a large farm is a "corporate farm". Its just a family owned and operated farm that happens to be large.
Impressive operation. I’d be losing my mind if I was the owner and saw all those trucks sitting there waiting to dump...thanks for the awesome footage!
I guess it depends on the elevator throughput speed. As long as you have semi-trucks available, then having them full and parked in the yard just means, you could be constantly unloading them for the next 2/4/6 hours after harvesting has finished for the day. The semi-trucks are essentially an enormous surge-bin at the elevator.
I made it out to help Brian yesterday in Oak Grove and today out 164 in Peedee. The corn is making the best ever. I didn't say that, 78 year old Charles said that. Lol I can tell you those tracks cost $10,500 each to replace. New tracks were a topic of ours today.
@@bigtractorpower they should finish at Peedee tomorrow and then will be around the house, but you will have several more weeks to catch them. That 9470 Narrow track is sharp hooked to a 1300 Kinze grain cart.
We load our 4 trucks to like 97,000 lbs every time. Little over weight but we don’t really care. We have a 1979 Kenworth W900L tuned at 350 horse and has a Cummins big cam 400 and it’s straight piped, then a 1987 Kenworth W900L tuned at 400 horse and also has a Cummins big cam 400 and has miter cut mufflers, then a 2002 Kenworth T2000 with a Cummins N14 tuned to 500 horse and is straight piped, lastly we have a 2005 Kenworth W900L with a Cummins N14 chipped to 700 horse and is also straight piped. We got 42ft Cornhusker trailers with Shurco Shur Lok automatic tarps.
Hello from Down Under.... Nice operation..👍 Here in Australia on our farm we use a system of 150 mobile and stationary field bins" mother bins" this allow us to utilise large 45 ton chaser bins behind our 9620R's.... I think these guys could use a similar system there... I noticed in America, you guys don't use mother bins that much or even at all.. Great video, keep the video's coming..👍😉
Do you ever come across smaller combines? I don’t know enough to state specific models but I think it’d be interesting to see some smaller operators as well as these cool monsters.
I know it’s tough to film everything but if you could just take a few more seconds to film the grain coming in the tank that would just be awesome! I love seeing the grain come in the tank. Just a suggestion.
Another great video of the harvest in the 1300 acre field. You're tying everything together cleverly. Really well put together video. Keep up the good work BTP. 👍👍
It is not the unloading speed that slows an operation it is the dryer capacity. The farm has two large tower driers. I would say 14 to 15 truck loads an hour are being emptied into the wet bin that is filling the two driers. I plan to do a video on the bin system and it will look at the Capacity of the wet bin and dryers.
Great video! Having been to that elevator and been in some of those massive fields they run it is really impressive to see the entire crew working so seamlessly together. Do they only store their own corn or are some of those trucks in line from other farms? Those pits are very slow. Tell Phil he needs to spend some money and speed that up! lol
Nice thing about keeping the trucks at 1000 bushels is also that the road master won’t be as likely to pull them over to check weight and wasting time.
BTP would it be possible for you to do a full corn harvesting cycle from field to bins showing the lines at the local co-ops and back to the fields? That would help me understand the flow rhythm . Thank you for such excellent videos with useful information. Damn good job!
There's got to be an error on that combine's monitor... a class 9 machine pushing a 12 row header in that high yielding corn should be doing 4000 bph easily
Just curious, but does Garnett Farms have a land clearing crew? If you're up to the task, I think it'd be pretty cool to see a time lapse video, starting with standing woods, all the way to tilled ground that's ready to be planted.
That is amazing stuff. The amount of equipment!! Answer to there choak point is the grain storage and there unable to open the gates of the trailers and go. The grain pit needs to be increased and increase the leg capacity with a leg that moves twice the bushels and/or add a double leg system to move 1200 bu./ever 10 min.
Yes I did but if the combined heap them plumb full then the cart has about 200 bushels in it after every truck.like the dual grates to unload the rig from both hoppers.szves time
Yes this farm almond has 2,800 field, a 2,200 acre field, a 1,500 and this 1,300 plus several 1,000 acre blocks. Many farms in the are have at least one 1,000 acre field.
I was wondering why they didn't dump air on the trailer, as slow as they unload guess they don't need to. The place I help out it takes less than 3 minutes to unload and that includes moving the truck from front to back hopper..
The bin system operation might want to double, perhaps quadruple, the number of wet tanks in order to increase the amount of corn coming in to be dried and stored. Just sayin'.
BTP will explain. But the shot of all those trucks waiting to unload was probably taken at the end of the day or at early morning before combines started rolling.
in an older video he shows the combines service they make on the field, they have a fuel truck and a service truck to blow filters etc.. maybe even more than 2 trucks
Another great video, I’d love to see your part of Kentucky, only ever made a couple short jaunts to the eastern part from western North Carolina as a kid. I love your videos but if I may point out something, it’s certainly not a complaint as all your videos are extremely high quality but would it be possible to make your voiceovers louder? Maybe it’s just me but I have to crank the volume to hear what your saying in the voice over but when it switches to the raw machinery sounds it’s way too loud so I have to turn the volume way down, I thought maybe it was just on my iPhone but I feel it’s more pronounced when I use UA-cam on my tv or even laptop? Again, please don’t take that as a complaint, I’ve been a fan for years and have watched hundreds of your videos so far and really enjoy your professionalism in your work:)
600.000 gallons on some big farms per year..large dairy operations...because they are cutting multiple crops..and hauling waste..planting..moving crop..feeding...tillage...
I filmed a new Claas 7400TT in July before it was announced. You can see the video at m.ua-cam.com/video/WHA863SL8vw/v-deo.html I have an Ideal video walk around with some wheat cutting at m.ua-cam.com/video/ZtjU2vcCZas/v-deo.html I hope to film more of both.
shop shop That would mean stopping the combines long enough to unload, the grain carts allow the combines to unload on the go. Keeps the operation constantly moving.
The cart allows the combine to always be harvesting. Stoping to run to the semi would cost 5 minutes or more of harvesting time. With wheat to plant on these fields after corn it’s 5 minutes they don’t have to spare. At the rate they are harvesting that would mean 35 minutes every hour of running to, unloading and heading back to the next pass every hour.
@@tylercorbin8073 Thanks. Since it doesn't seem to be done I'll assume theres a good reason for that. But the cost of 4 big tractors and 4 big auger carts is a very large pile of cash/credit, so even if semi's can't load on the go----and why can't they----it would seem the cost to be able to generally keep the combines from stopping for a couple minutes is very high. Could it also be that one can't always count on being able to take the semi's into the fields due to wet conditions or slopes?
The carts are used on three crops. The 4wds plant the corn, make two tillage passes in a year and grain cart on three crops. They are a good investment. The fields are too rough to run a semi on. If it gets wet a semi will sink fast.
Cool video
Thank you for watching.
Could you do a video at some point on a grain storage facility? It was nice to see them unloading, but a more detailed video there would be awesome.
I do plan to do a video on the bin system. I have been filming it for the past three years getting the video ready.

Incredible video, thanks. The term “ family farm” caught me off guard, that’s a pretty big operation.
Always loved running the grain cart during corn and milo harvest the most. There's no sitting around. You're always on the run.
I made it out to help Brian yesterday in Oak Grove and today out 164 in Peedee. The corn is making the best ever. I didn't say that, 78 year old Charles said that. Lol
I can tell you those tracks cost $10,500 each to replace. New tracks were a topic of ours today.
Very cool. I saw them out on 68/80 last week. I need to catch up with them and film some of the harvesting action.

Thats gettin er done. Looks like the bottle neck is at the bins unloading the trucks.
Big farm and great tractors!
Now that's an impressive operation
Thank you for watching.
I know it’s tough to film everything but if you could just take a few more seconds to film the grain coming in the tank that would just be awesome! I love seeing the grain come in the tank. Just a suggestion.
I would love to be apart of a operation that big. Man 5 s790 wow that awesome
Another great video of the harvest in the 1300 acre field.
You're tying everything together cleverly.
Really well put together video.
Keep up the good work BTP. 👍👍
Totally awesome thanks 😎
That's Awsome!
Fascinating
Thanks for all the great videos
Great video! Great team work. Thanks for sharing, and a nice ending to the previous video.
Great video
If possible make a video on Matt's equipment shopwork on these big farm toys.
they don't need 15 trucks, extra trucks just build bigger buffer at unloading queue, every factorio player will tell that!
It is not the unloading speed that slows an operation it is the dryer capacity. The farm has two large tower driers. I would say 14 to 15 truck loads an hour are being emptied into the wet bin that is filling the two driers. I plan to do a video on the bin system and it will look at the Capacity of the wet bin and dryers.
The drier and subsequently the wet bin capacity is ALWAYS the choke point at every operation I've been involved with.
It's just like a big dance harvesting corn.
Só máquina qualificada

So true there is no sense in having more grain cart then your trucks can handle
Another great video, btp. Any chance you can do a video of the folks who maintain this equipment? Thanks.
BTP it seems to me they need 4 unloading points at the farm to accommodate unloading at a more efficient rate.
That is amazing stuff.
The amount of equipment!!
Answer to there choak point is the grain storage and there unable to open the gates of the trailers and go.
The grain pit needs to be increased and increase the leg capacity with a leg that moves twice the bushels and/or add a double leg system to move 1200 bu./ever 10 min.
The chaser bins look heaps smaller than the semi trailer
sounds like another grain cart and a couple more trucks would help them
Yes I did but if the combined heap them plumb full then the cart has about 200 bushels in it after every truck.like the dual grates to unload the rig from both hoppers.szves time
1:05 the left rear wheel of the combine was doing the shimmy and shake
That is auto qui dance steering
Loved the vid.Very impressive work.Best regards from Germany.
Early one today. 🇺🇸 👍
15 trucks+1 small unloading pit= long wait time to unload.
Nice operation. Here in Belize that size of operations are not seen and our yields aren't bigger than 125 or so bushels per acre.
Wow
great video...how much pto horsepower does it take to run those grain carts
👍
Nice farm operation. Are there a lot of big fields that size or bigger Western Kentucky? The biggest field I have ever been in was 1200 acres.
Yes this farm almond has 2,800 field, a 2,200 acre field, a 1,500 and this 1,300 plus several 1,000 acre blocks. Many farms in the are have at least one 1,000 acre field.
@@bigtractorpower the fields are large enough so if you get rained out in one area of the field you can go to the other side and keep working.
They need to do something at the dump to speed things up looks. Allfully slow dumping
I was wondering why they didn't dump air on the trailer, as slow as they unload guess they don't need to. The place I help out it takes less than 3 minutes to unload and that includes moving the truck from front to back hopper..
The bin system operation might want to double, perhaps quadruple, the number of wet tanks in order to increase the amount of corn coming in to be dried and stored. Just sayin'.
The farm has a nearly 4 million bushel bin system. They move a bunch of corn.
Whats the point of having 15 semis when most are sitting in line waiting to unload?
BTP will explain. But the shot of all those trucks waiting to unload was probably taken at the end of the day or at early morning before combines started rolling.
Klumbens cause you never have enough plus they had to go 25 miles away plus there could be a long waiting line
Dang!
Lots of iron rolling.
Is this a family farm and how do they fuel all the combines and tractors up away from home?
in an older video he shows the combines service they make on the field, they have a fuel truck and a service truck to blow filters etc.. maybe even more than 2 trucks
Big tractor power what if those combines plug up what about the corn haulers to the trucks do they plug up any
This 1300 acre field must be about 2 miles long & 2 miles wide or close to it

👍👍👍👍
Well sir in that case 4th
4th!
Have they considered 2 or 3 trailer trucks?
Perhaps the weight limit laws prevent that.
At 1:02 is the auto guidance/row sensor that make those strange steering corrections?
I think so, not sure
Yes the two pieces trigger the guidance control system.
Why is the exhaust on the wrong side of all the trucks?
I don’t know. That’s just the way they came.
How many gal of diesel do they use for all of these machines in a day?
600.000 gallons on some big farms per year..large dairy operations...because they are cutting multiple crops..and hauling waste..planting..moving crop..feeding...tillage...
I know this is a stupid question, but do big operations hire part time seasonal employees?
Yes, lots of part time help on farms around here. I work at a factory and take vacation to farm.
Not a stupid question at all bud.
13,500 bu times 56 lbs/bu equals 756,000 lbs or 378 tons bull shit at that weight
When a video about Ideal or new Lexion?
I filmed a new Claas 7400TT in July before it was announced. You can see the video at m.ua-cam.com/video/WHA863SL8vw/v-deo.html
I have an Ideal video walk around with some wheat cutting at m.ua-cam.com/video/ZtjU2vcCZas/v-deo.html
I hope to film more of both.
Why don't they get bigger trailers big thin wall trailer or doubles that can haul 1600 or more
Because of weight and length restrictions
How many acres do they farm in total?
If I remember right I believe its around 15000 acres
why not just have the combines unload directly into the semi's?
shop shop That would mean stopping the combines long enough to unload, the grain carts allow the combines to unload on the go. Keeps the operation constantly moving.
