In this video I am out in the field with Strunk Harvesting out of Silver Lake Kansas as they custom harvest winter wheat near Burlington Oklahoma.
They are harvesting wheat running 4 John Deere S Series combines with Deere 745 FD heads. Running beside the combines is their JCB 8340 Fastrac tractor pulling a Brent 1196 grain cart.
Thank you for sharing your video with us...
The operators look pretty green in this video - stopping on headlands to wait for other close operators, stopping to unload, not gauging the outside cut width properly. Good help is getting harder to find.
Another great video Mike .
Brings back memories of summer 1967 when I worked as a farmhand baling hay near Burlington Ok.
How nice to see a British JCB tractor working in the USA.
Hello Mike I love watching John Deere Combines I gave a like
Hey we met in 2018 in Big Bow! Glad to see ya still following this badass crew
Yes Sir, Big Bow Kansas. I remember being out there filming.
Thanks for sharing this video. Almost no music which I appreciate. I love the sound from the machines.
Great video! They sure had some strange movements like the combine going down the field leaving a small strip and buggy driver at the end of the field drives into the field to turn around instead of just turning on the end where he was. Made me wonder about these guys but then I remember being on a harvest crew once and we had a couple of guys that really made you wonder.
Yes, they don't seem to be a very good crew at all. Combine operators jumbled close together on headlands stopping for each other, unloading stopped, missing strips, undercutting by 3-5 feet across field. Good help is hard to find - I think they need to advertise for help using Spanish ads.........
Hah i know what you mean. I havent seen near as much as our field coordinator did, but boy oh boy did this season’s pea harvest crew have some absolute grade A ocean going apocalyptic dingleberries. From falling asleep and driving into a pivot, falling asleep and driving into the next field to somehow pushing a grate into the windshield shattering it. And it took a long time for them to finally get into a rhythm of harvest. I havent harvested much longer than them, but i got into a rhythm on the very first day. By the end of season i could probably open a field and know where to go/what to do in my sleep. Not that i tried though 😅
Sweet combines. Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean!!
Great video Mike, that grain cart driver on the 8330 sure does a damn fine job of keeping the four combines moving.
@2:59
Great Video Mike, nice to see that some things don't change they just get bigger and greener, thanks for sharing
Love seeing wheat harvest from my home state. Great video Mike
that’s the same crew i have cut for me up here in montana they are here now great group of guys to work with
I know it’s only August Mike but this gets me thinking about harvest! Can’t wait!
Them john deere combines are really hungry lol.
very interesting to watch. You are doing fantastic job. Thank you!
Cough! Cough! Hope that no one living nearby had the washing on the line... 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
I loved this video! Those combines are very powerful. It's certainly amazing how finely that they grind the chaff. The yeald that they are attaining is incredible, as well, even when they appear to be picking up some of the wheat that looks like it was laid down. Thank you for sharing this video, they are always very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you. Have a very happy, and enjoyable holiday season. 👍👍
Used to work for strunk harvesting! Great equipment and great memories from the two seasons i ran for mike strunk!
These videos are addictive. I never saw stuff like this before.
Pretty damn good wheat for dryland. Never saw a JCB with duals before. Thanks for the video.
That's a great harvest team😉👍 cool to see the jcb on grain cart duty👍😁
Thank you Mike for the video, two different times in my life I traveled with a Harvest crew, it was a blast and I had a experience. The last custom harvest crew I went with was Mahoney Harvesting that was 2001 down into Oklahoma then Texas and up in Kansas Sharon springs and Colorado then up to the Big Sky state to Popular,MT then over to North Dakota cutting millite. I had a good time on the Custom harvest crew.
You were in my neck of the woods (Cherokee). Welcome back. Hope you had a nice stay... That field doesn't look too bad considering the drought we had this year.
Great video. Pretty nice looking wheat and from the looks of the dust they didn't need to test for moisture.
Bone dry down there this versus last years excess moisture
Like always great job!!!
Great vídeo Mike.
Don't quite understand the driving lines of this crew, looks a bit chaotic to me. But hey, they get the job done and man that graincart driver is one busy driver 🙂It's a great video once again, I could watch this for hours on end.
Well the field had two offsets in it and some terraces to cut out first before they could pick a straight line back and forth
@@farmhandmike Thank you!
TTshark, thank you for your kind and knowledgeable information, especially that you were so closely connected to the actual operations. Those combine operators had probably never seen that field before either. As I said earlier, "they were opening the field". While I have great respect for years of experience, experience does not make up for REAL knowledge of present day practices and methods. People should ask questions and LEARN and not be judgemental and critize. You don't know, what you don't know. Finally, and again, "there is one in every crowd". That guy is actually funny and should enjoy his Cheez Wiz (Kraft made (jar or spray can)) ($4.48 at Walmart). I think he could put a nipple on the spray can to help with his Waaaahhhhhhhh in the rocking chair. Thank you.
Thanks for the great video.
Super kombajnu, moćni stroj današnjice..
Thanks for this video
Wow the size of these farms is mind blowing.
Inefficiency at its best!
Pekná rovina 👍💪💯.
Another superb cinematic drone footage from Mike, excellent stuff and also like the accompanying music, fits the video perfectly 🤘🇬🇧
Thanks, That was a new sound effect I have not used until now from iMovie.
Great video
🇧🇴 Fans n1 👀 bolivia me gusta me encanta ver este tipo de videos 📹 💯 puntos amigo excelente 💜 trabajo con el video 📹 👍 💜 saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente 💜 👍 😀 😁😀👍😁😀👍👀
Enjoy the videos farmhand 👍🏻
Wow! What a great mix of camera angles and content. That grain cart auger is massive. Did that grain cart just fill a semi in one load? Thanks Mike for sharing again👍. Happy subscriber 😊!
Mike should change his last name to Most. Mike brings the most, period. 🐊
Can tell the modern operated not old school. I was taught at a very young age from a custom cutter you go round and round not back and forth to get you max acres that machine never stops to wait. You made nice rounded corners and finished the corners when the field was done. Now days can't go unless you have gps funny they haven't figured it out to where you can do that now
Always like working with wheat
На это можно смотреть бесконечно!
Parabéns belo vídeo 🇧🇷
I love harvesting i am join in work
Hello there! Thanks for this exciting video. I'm just wondering about the math. How many meters wide is the blade of each combine? How many tons of wheat does the trailer transporting the product to the trucks take? thanks :)
Seen this crew heading South this weekend with a couple of machines. I think at least one of them was a S790, the other one was to far away to read the number.
Hello! Seems to be an acceptable crop...
SUPER!
Nice video. What is the cost per acre or cost per yeild for custom harvesting? Just curious. Also, how prevalent is it for farmers to use custom harvesters?
I wonder what the life expectancy is on the Brent 1196 if it is the only cart the crew uses.
They are definitely pushing those combines to the limit that's for sure
As long as you service it and replace broken parts they'll last as long as you need. Typically on an operation like this though you'll replace after 3-5 years so it maintains some resale value and you don't put so many hours on it that major items start to fail. Farmers buy them and put little hours on them in comparison, so they gets years out of them after.
Custom harvesting companies beat the living shit out of their machines. Some have a better tract record of maintaining them than others. I know i beat the piss out of my machine, and usually i’d spot trouble before it happened, so i was able to back off or notify the mechanics who usually did nothing about it until 36 hours and a lot of money needed to go into removing the disintegrated part and replacing it with a new one, when they could just replace it then and there to prevent that…
Great video Mike reminds me of my trips . Have you seen any harvesting so their unloading augers are out so the unload on the go ? That's the way we did and the combines never had to stop . just wondering another harvest video
At 22:45 in this video they unload on the go.
Great video! When watching your videos of this custom harvesting team I have the same question. How do they transport all this equipment from job to job across multiple states? 🤔 Do they drive it the same as a farmer would do on his own farm or do they "truck it" ? It seems like it would get a lot of wear simply driving it. Thanks for all your great videos! 👍
Load it all on trailers to haul off to next area.
The custom harvesters have some pretty neat setups as far as truck and trailers go to haul the equipment from stop to stop. I did a video in summer of 2016 of a custom crew loaded up and heading out to their next stop. I'll see if I can get the link and reply with it so you can see.

👍👍👍👍👏👏💯
Need a bigger cart!
😎👍
Hello from iran Excusme.how meny hectars this feild?
Good looking wheat. Although The organization of that crew is non existent.
4 combines. All going a different directions. Sheesh.
As contract harvesters how do they handle fine details in a field like a pipe or rocks? If their equipment is damaged...what then?
Most have service trucks with many parts and usually deere will send service techs to the fields as well. And most of the time they have printed maps of the field and the farmer shows them where things like that are at
You fix it
They break down all the time from neglect on operated part or hitting objects in the field or just regular wear. They fix it on the spot in most cases have their own repair truck and usually one guy in the crew that is a handyman to take care of it. In many cases the operater fixes themselves but not always
@@joescheller6680 Who pays the cost? I don't understand how a "stranger" can run equipment through fields covered with crops without knowing where certain obstacles may be located.
@@michaelblankenship7811 Thank you
I like Mike less videos on KZhead from the imperial co California.
This crew seems a little inefficient. 1. The biggest problem is that the combines are not unloading into the grain carts "on the go". They go to the grain carts and stop to unload, not the other way around. 2. Two combines meeting head on, and having to go around each other. 3. There is a lot of driving around without any harvesting, as they combines reposition for the next row. 4. Leaving small strips and other small patches untouched, meaning someone has to circle back to finish them off. Am I missing something here?
Three combines or more?
Four, 3 S780's and 1 S680.
It looks like you took one for the team with that chaff, hope it wasn't bearded just don't mess your lungs up you only have one set of them and from experience asthma is a b
Yes I was into this video for sure.
Ha ha I grew up running open station combine no cab. You lived in the dust all day no masks.
@@joescheller6680 I worked plenty of ground when I was young on open station tractors
Привіт із України! Дуже гарне відео, яка у вас ціна пшениці?
Dont understand your combine drivers r continually driving towards each other , all go clockwise , just stay spaced out (distance)🤔 round ur corners n go back later to pick up your corners.
In general please let the sounds match the video's. I dont hear what i see. Thats annoying.. no sound is better than.. i like youre video's!!! Thanks
The way they are working in this field are pretty wrong.
我表示抗议，因为这视频没有字幕，而我根本不懂英语。
da merkt man es sind anfänger am werk,lassen die hälfte stehen und diese fahrweise um gottes willen looooooool
Great Video Mike, nice to see that some things don't change they just get bigger and greener, thanks for sharing
