Mrs. Brown and her Mini Me! Glad to see her being a partner with you on the farm. I like seeing families work together.
Woohoo. Awesome to see another lexion on the farm, Happy days
Kayla's smile can totally turn around a bad day!
Been watching your videos for several years now and believe having two combines have been more advantageous for you. Lost time due to break downs have been minimized because you still have a back up. Traveling to multiple smaller fields would cause you lost time by one machine handling them all. I am not a farmer unfortunately and I am sure you, your dad and BJ have thought about this also. Thanks for the great videos.
8700 should be able to run a 16 row pretty well
Narrow body lexions can handle a 16 row as well, just drive a little slower
Glad to see the Bunn in service, quick coffee when you NEED IT! Two v one? Nice to have backup on hand. Broke, stuck, ya'll know what happens sometimes. Stay safe, don't hurry. 😊
Back in the 70s I used to work in the Summers I worked for a Farmer in Indiana. The owner of the farm was in his 60s. The owner's Father worked for him also.........His Dad was 94 years old and worked everyday. Driving Tractors and Combines and kept up... FARMERS are a different Breed.
That combine is a beast!
We run a 7120 case and a 1660 Case, we only have about 2000 acres but our macdon header on our 7120 had some issues with bearings which is to be expected after 30,000ish acres but we can’t get parts on time here in Alberta. So we had to finish everything with the 1660. The 1660 finished just over 1/2 of our acres this year because we couldn’t get parts for our macdon head in Canada… where they’re made… took me 3 weeks longer to finish than it should have. I will swath wheat and canola next year so i can just pick it up and get done with the big combine
Great video good to see y'all
Looks like a good combine
Thank you Brian for the video. Nice combine.
amazing video. Thank you Brian and family.great job
Thanks for the video! Keep up the good work...
Great video Brian.
The video we have all been waiting for
WOW!! What a combine. I can see this being part of your future.
thank you
Thanks
Thanks for the info
Good show
Between your dad and you boys you know what you need on your farm . I don’t give advice because I don’t know your farm and the conditions of things . Good luck on whatever you do I enjoy your videos take care and enjoy the rest of the season .😊
Thats the nicest green combine I have ever seen!
Good luck 👍
Thanks for the video.
We traded up from a 760 to 8600 same size feeder house same size hopper 510 bu. Same heads work. But traded the 16 thirty in row for 18 row. Absolutely awsome corn eating machine
Thanks for sharing
Nice looking machine
I love how Bob doesnt sugar coat anything!
Spout cam! I was thinking it, they did it! nice
Amazing the cost of equipment! Good luck on whatever you decide!
Promoting Yankum ✅ Glad to see manufacturers recognize smaller operations!
The demo combine is quite a beast. Lots of nice features. Running one larger machine may be a viable option...up for discussion of pros and cons. Your daughter is sure a spitting image of her mother!!!
I saw a yellow Claas like yours on the road and I was dumbfounded. Beautiful machine
i saw that Miller Lite. I knew there was something I liked about you.
Real nice machine Brian, it looks well suited to your farm. One big machine sounds like a good plan less mechanical maintenance / breakdowns less servicing & freeing up labor is a big one.
Breakdowns with 1 machine would kill the day... Having 2 seems useful
for shure they would leave one smaller combine for beans and wheat.
Sad part of two machines you mostly need two grain carts more Indians to do harvest. Possibly need 3 carts if running two different crops. We ran a 760 verses a John deere 9700 and was not even close in acres after the end of the day would be almost double acres with the Class.
That thing is a beast.
Nice to see a US farmer running real green machines - Fendt and Class 😊
The best combo, claas combine + fendt tractor
Like the video Brian , and love the shop .
I think the Claas combine is great
What we did 2 years ago went to one big Combine and haven't had any regrets
I have seen a 8900 in MS during corn harvest
The 8700 will run a 24 row corn head at 6 mph through 200 bu corn. Pur 7500 will 6.5 through 250 bu corn with a 12 row. But we like to keep it in the 6500 buhr range, 7500 did 5.5 mph through 90 bu wheat and 120 bu oats this year with the 40ft convio draper. Oh and the 7500 will give the x9 a run for its money for half the price, and only use 100 gallons of fuel a day compared to 250 with a deere
Oh yeah don't use that auto cleaning, get your setting down right and leave them. And again the 8700 will hog a lot more than 5000buhr. We were punping out a 1000bu load every 9 minutes this year with the 7500
I see you building bigger field approaches and gate ways in your future .
....our Gleaner spreads very well....
Outstanding job with the video, especially the narrative explaining not only what you are doing, but also why. Good business head - not married to one color. Looking for the best solution
damn miss brown looks good ! nice to see you try this class . keep up the good vids
The auger on that demo machine (7XL Auger) is both big enough for a 50 and even 60 foot header, but in the European market is designed specifically for 40 foot heads because the auger reaches over the path the combine took on the previous row, so the tractor drives where the combine has driven for compaction prevention.
Have ran the 8700 with a 16 row Drago, in 220+ corn at 4.5, 5 even 7mph its a beast. Now we are cooking with peanut oil!
Same setup here. Amazing pushing 7,000bph through a machine. But where we get the most value is in tough conditions, green, and small grains.
windy ? nah, i was listening. i long thought your explanations were good n interesting and this episode is a prime example. suuurweeeet
I'm sure Jason could get the paperwork together for purchase. LOL. Hi Jason
Good video, nice combine.😊
Brian I hope you demo the class 9 Fendt before deciding.
Exciting stuff Brian. Yep we all suffer from that eternal problem of RUST build up on little used equipment. Interesting times.
I think that's a very nice combine, Brian. I feel like if you got a class 12 row cornhead for that combine. And sold off your gleaner and your other combined. I think you would be better off with one bigger. Combined than having 2 smaller combines.
My stepson works in sales and service for a Claas dealer based in Arkansas. They have 4 dealerships throughout Arkansas, Mississippi Missouri and looking to put one in Tennessee. He has customers as far down as Texas. These machines seem to be catching on pretty good in this area.
I have watched your farm for years and have always thought one big claas combine would be better for your operation less moving and more efficient good idea.
Nice class. Probably in the stars for y’all!!! I just saw this torc tool work. It was incredible but pricy. It comes in different torc ranges. Battery operated And yep Kalya models sweat shirt very nicely!!!!!
Id like to see the new holland vrs the claas !! Anyway they are both nice machines .
Omg Kayla and your daughter look like twins! Used to seeing your son but rarely see your daughter. Nice family you have there, hopefully the next generation takes interest and keeps your farm going.
She does look just like her mom, it’s remarkable.
Thanks for another great video. It was interesting. Like the combine you are demoing. This is one brand I know very little about. Plus no dealers in our Iowa area. From what you all are saying you are pleased with this class of combine. Only issue is the head I guess. But you are doing good with what you have so far just want to go faster. Only other thing you mentioned was the lights. But can always update those to meet your needs Like your thinking about going to one big combine and harvest that way. Know you all will figure it out you fit your needs. Good luck on the demo. Thanks for everything Brian. Was interesting video. Thanks. The Iowa Farm Boy. Steve.
Good video!
If you’re going to go with a 50ft draper, I’d look at the new MacDon with the three section reel. I got to run one in milo on a 790, it was way better then the two piece reel. We don’t own a combine and have custom harvesters. They also have two of the big new holland machines. They did a better job cleaning then the Deere.
Would have liked to have seen you in the NH a little more & gotten your in-depth analysis. Too bad it isn't there now for a side-by-side comparison.
Brian, if you can please go into great detail about why this class 9 machine would be more effective than two smaller machines. If you have the time and can go into the beer features , such as automation and the advantages and disadvantages. Hopefully the sales representative can give you the explanation for the older incandescent lights instead of all LED lighting.
Great video
We ran 2 brand new 8700’s this harvest They have full LED lights which are blinding. Especially with the 45’ flex drapers which have 10 LED’s on them.
Well someone definitely screwed up ordering this one without then lol. It wasn’t hard to see out of but for the price of the combine leds should be standard
Is your set up also the new cabine with the 2023 version? With the bars for your feet or the old one with no bars. His one is the new Auger and cab, at the old one u can't move your auger tip at the end that's only at the new one.
Good video.
I am always staggert about the prices those things cost, just last week i bought a used JD tractor whit 3500 ours wich cost the same as a new one a view years ago, whish the milkprices are likewise, anyways have fun whit the demo and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
i would keep two combines it gives more options and allways good to see Gleaner
Can't beat tge spread pattern of the John Deere Power Cast Tail Board. But, the grain quality is somewhat to be desired at times. Gotta take the good with the bad.
We’ve been going thru the same situation with whether we can run one combine or two. We normally only run one in corn anyway but two in beans. Got rid of two class 7 case combines and went to an 8250 case this year. Definitely missed having two to cut beans. We actually hired an neighbor or got done early to help us knock our beans out. I’m gonna guess by next year we have second combine. Good chance it’ll be a claas as well. Demo’d an 8600 a couple weeks ago and it’s quite impressive for a class 8 machine.
Bout time!.....I mean i was waiting on this to drop so i could take a break at work . You would get new heads I guess if you got a new combine I guess. I know that would make a huge diff in the corn. ANd your John Deere buddy should have a 790 or X9 1000 out at your place asap after seeing this video.
I’m an old welder not a farmer. I would think 2 combines would be way better than only having one big one. The insurance of having an backup is worth the cost.
Not sure what it is...but think you enjoyed that combine Brian. I drive a 8800 with full LED lights, better than driving in daylight!!! Surprised they have a demo machine with candles on it!!!
If you get that big of a combine you should try a 16 row Drago corn head!
Good stuff
My neighbor is a combine specialist for claas. Brought in an 8600 last year and ran on a farm that runs 3 X9 combines. This farm is John Deere through and through but still admitted the lexion was best combine they have ran.
Good threshing and capacity in the Claas for sure. To bad all the metal is so thin on the machine and it wears out so quickly compared to other brands.
@coenbroosh actually most of the parts are thicker. We used to change augers on our deere every year. Never changed one on the claas yet
@@leslieharnish5477 running 50 lexions and 25 Deere combines. We have one pallet of Claas cross augers and Elevator tubing in stock. Nothing for the Deere. No need for it.
@@coenbroosh you run 75 combines??? or are you a dealer that supports 75 farmer owned machines?
@@dirtdevil70 no, I used to go to Russia and help set up combines and do technical inspection on them and help with the parts order. They brought in even more combines from costum cutting crews from Turkey. Mostly NH and MF. So seen many brands
Great looking machine I don’t envy the choices you guys have to make moving forward with combines no power ladder would be quite sad but new is neat also
Brain if both combines were the same class ,that new holland would eat it up!!
Not in corn
Hoping to see the video on the different variety of corn hopefully not breaking off so bad so you could go faster to put a test to the machine.
I think Mike Mitchell said it best for the price of a class 9 combine you can buy 5 670 oor 780 and pay for any repairs for a few years. Still be money ahead.
I found it interesting that when Mike had the ideal 9 and the x9, he was plugging up in lentils and needed the cheaper 670s to harvest them. That being said, I loved this video on the claas. The hopper extension looks like a 6 man tent.
I have run a 8700 with a Gherringhoff 24 row 22" folding corn header running 6mph in 275 bushel corn with no problem.
Получается около 220 тонн в час,молодцы!
I live in Italy one kilometer far from Capello factory and ten from Olimac factory.I have used both heads and in my opinion Capello is delicated with the corn but you can t run fast.Olimac is an another planet for all
We had a primary Axial Flow, neighbor would trade every two years and we would get it... In 91 we picked up an 84 TR85 to run to in beans, did that for two years and got rid of it, just didnt use it enough... and the neighbor ended up moving from IH 60 series to 80 series, so we followed him picking up his two year old machines... worked out way better running one larger machine...
I love this. You know what your getting and have a fairly new machine.
Nice combine buy it 👍
Hay, those lights are underwhelming because it's in grancart mode😜😜😜😜don't won't to blind the cart operator😣😣😂😂😂😂😂😂
In the uk when you buy a claas combine you buy a complete set of upgraded lights , people that run them say their lights are shocking
Dude I love the combines but I'm really here for Mama Bear 🤓🤓
You need 18 row we ran 16 row on our 760 at 5 + mph that's what the world record was set with 760 with the 16 row. Head. Grain cart driver got no slack at a dead run all the time. Have since traded to the 8600 as no 8700 were available but new 8600 will as a class 8 out perform the 760 class 9. 8600 has same width feeder house as bigger machine and same bin capacity. This year put on a 18 row 30 inch spacing head way more efficient less ear loss lower speeds and with our 36 row planter work much better. Combined hailed out corn 198 bu acre handled the 18 row very well.
You should try a drago corn head. Best in the market
As you say you can call the 1 vs 2 combines both ways. If you have the manpower to keep them running you will do more acres with two medium combines than on large and have the security of a ‘spare’. If not one large one will be more economical in both labour, fuel and maintenance. All I can say is a few years back we went from two New Hollands to a single Claas. We changed brand for the deal not because we particularly had a bad experience with NH. We have not looked back and replaced the Claas 3 times since. Has it been down, hell yes but in the UK Claas field service is excellent and I don’t think we have waited more than 36hrs for any part to be supplied and fitted.
Very good Video 👍 👍
Thats pretty good that you can run a 12 row on a 740. We run a 6 row chopping on our 2013 730, and it bogs it right down
We ran a 16 row on our 2011 730, could do up to 3 to 4 mph and do alright
If you’re going to make the move to one machine, I would go ahead and get the 8800. You would be able to run a 50’ draper, and a 16 row corn head easily.
Their 740 can run a 16 row head if they wanted to, can do a 45 foot draper as well
Can anyway . We ran 16 row on 760 that's what the world record was set with. 16 row 760
You don't have to set a world record, we have ran a C516 16 row head on a 570R, a 730 and a 750 Lexion. Each one did the job pretty good
I understand your thoughts on one big machine, but what about breakdowns? With two smaller combines you should still be able to run something. Where if you only had the one harvest would be shutdown.
I would go with one big machine. Big initial outlay but maybe trade just as the warranty is running out. Would have to do the math
Hello Brian, I been watching you every time you release a video, but not commenting just given you the thumbs up, Brian I must say that big is not always better, I'm referring to all Harvesters, Until you get a break down, I think you are better running 2 Combine Harvesters 40 to 45 ft , those big fronts are nothing but head aches, your Country you are Farming lends it self to the 40 to 45 ft if the Harvester can handle it, and up to a 16 row corn front & they will do the better Job, imagine if you had a real big front 50ft plus & a big corn and something goes wrong your up the creek with out a paddle, for me I think you have it right with 2 good size Harvesters, loved the video, OH don't try pushing to much through that corn head at speed it might give you some problems being a 12 row, on that note Cheers & Best Wishes to all the Brown Family, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.
