These machines offer allot of power. The 9240 combine has as much horse power as the third largest Steiger 4wd. The 9240 is being replaced by the 9250 in 2019. I would like FS19 will have a 9250.

That's why i love farming vehicles, just the amount of power and everything in between, its crazy, back when the first gas powered engines were put into those tractors, power like that wasn't heard of, but when the big 4x4 tractors were introduced, power like that was needed to turn those big wheels, its remarkable how far farming vehicles has become. But as to fs19, we should have a full garage by next month or end of next month. But whatever happens, happens.

Always been leery of no till but this year with a number of our own pastures looking like they could do with a top up with clover and grasses as well as being asked to improve the grasses of a pair of fields we have just started renting we decided to get a secondhand direct drill and so far we have been really pleased with the job to the point of doing double the acres we were going to do. Looking at that head it really does do a good job and I could see the benefits for those who would still want to till as it would be a lot easier to incorporate the residue into the soil

No till works well. Today’s heavy hydraulics can push the seed down. Tillage is good too to break down stalks.

@SlipShodBob

Our one is only 3m but is rated at 80hp for the tractor and weighs about a ton but it digs in really well due to the times, a little too well in one spot in the last field

i run a geringhoff PZ (today its caller PCA) witch is an earlier version of this slicing-up-tecnic alongside the stalks. the problem is, it is a single-roller version with firmly mounted knives, so the roller has to push the stalks trough the knives. the consequence is, that after a while, when the roller-comb and the knives becomes outworn, it kills the gear or the roller-shaft. the turning blade-roller of the rota-disc prevent this problems, but its heavier and more expensive...

Thanks for the video. Being following your videos for a while and they have being quite inspiring especially for those of us here in Nigeria. Anyone got any suggestions of an affordable combine we could buy to boost our productivity for the next season? Thanks once for the video and many others you've posted.

They need a front mounted crimper roller on a tractor to roll down the stalks so as to reduce the amount of tire wear

Hey Big Tracter - Got a question When these 40 ft corn heads are opening up a field thats 1/2 mile + long how are they emptying the hopper on the combine /. Will the unloading auger work at say 1/3 of its full radius of extension

@bigtractorpower

5 жыл бұрын

I can make a video on this some time. When they open up a section and the combine fills up and there is no where to unload they stop a few feet before they are completely full. They back up and move over and cut another swath along side the first pass. Then the grain cart can pull up and the combine can unload. Then the cart backs up and the combine returns to the original pass.

No over loading at all. The 9240 had no issue with this header or grain.

With having 20 inch rows, does that reduce the yield of their corn or do they supply more fertilizer to the corn throughout the season?

what the difference in weight between 24 20 and 16 30 header? Is there enough lifting capacity in modern combine (stock) to use such headers or other preparations are needed? Lexion 770 is good for 24 20?

I will have to check a brochure on weight. A Class 8 or 9 combine can run a 16 row. I just filmed a Case IH 8240 on a 16 row. A Claas 770 could run a 24 row 20 no problem.

Why do they sow winter wheat into the corn stubble and not no till it into the soybean stubble?

@bigtractorpower

5 жыл бұрын

Because soybeans are planted right behind the wheat combine. Wheat fields make two crops in one year with wheat in June and soybeans in October. As a result corn always follows beans. So if your farm is 2,000 acres it produces 3,000 acres of crops a year.
