Are 50 foot headers too BIG? Day 1 of harvest.
My name is Kendal Johnson, I’m a married 25 year old dad/farmer. I farm with my grandpa (papaw), dad, siblings, uncles, and several cousins. Our operation is called Stahl Farms, a family farm in Southwest Ohio. We farm corn and soybeans with lots of red equipment. My goal is to show a little bit of everything. The good, bad, the fun and the boring days.
Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe!

You work your farm hands just like every farmer does. They do all the grunt work and make you look good
Great job on all your videos, i truly enjoy following your farm.
Hello from North Alabama!! Thanks for the video! Hope you have a great harvest!!
Great video bud, y'all are moving some grain, hauling ass an filling trucks, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video
Kendal, thanks for your video. That is one good looking combine that you have. It could run that new 62 foot GTE Brazilian or the 60 foot Honeybee head in those beans for more production. So demo one for us sometime and the number of your subscribers will take a leap up .
They been running 62 ft flex drapers in Australia for 15 years.

There’s a big difference between cutting 30ba wheat in Australia and cutting 70ba soybeans.

Great video, sub'd! We run a 45' JD HDR head. Works perfect in our area. 50' is getting a little too big for a single rotor machine in our crops. Good luck with harvest!
I really do enjoy your videos
Fantastic video
Thank you for Northeast Missouri. Taking lunch moving people to the field. Yields are better than expected 50 minus or take. But that’s just very very very small sample. Yes We are in drought
I'm looking for yall everyday here lately around white oak Station area.
great 👍 job
Nice video 👍
Love your videos.
I’ve watched those videos and their crops are thin at best so the run those 62’ headers and travel fast to load the machines.
I'm predicting you start at 12:00 pm. Beans got rolling here yesterday. Planting winter wheat right after. Great job on the videos. Did you happen to make it to the Farm Science Review?
My dad would've had some words if he saw you climb on the combine while it was moving. Especially having to swing around to the side.
Mike. Mitchel has 50 foot heads doing 4 bushel barley. The combine does not have enough capacity to handle 50 head in 80 bushel wheat. 20 bushels goes out the back

Good thing we aren’t cutting wheat
Yes 50 foot is too big when you have rolling terraces hear my Part of the country Northeast Missouri. Really have to flex big-time the head.
Does your family run the Stahl farmers market
Yield?? Or is it a Secret?
Maybe use a moisture meter on them
bring to jail that second operator - machinery directiveeeeeeee
How does the combine operator know when the load of corn, beans, or grain is about to "boil over"? Like, we can clearly see outside it's an open-top machine. And as it fills up, we as "outsiders" can clearly see the material pile up on the combine's open roof. But the combine operator somehow knows when to summon the bulk wagon to unload without having to actually stop and climb up to the roof of the combine.

They have sensors and cameras there. Paus 5:49 for example.
How much material can one stuff through that machine and it perform the way it should. How can it thrash and clean without riding grain over on all the trash.

These combines really do there best job when they are full of material. When you are running the machine empty they tend to over thrash and that’s when you get a dirty sample

If you need to run a baler behind the combine than a 50 foot header is too big

basically this combine is nothing more than a 2388 with 560 hp ? Yes and 50 ft header much to much?
Opening scene, idiot climbing on a moving combine. Second scene, accent. Makes sense
My guess is 12:26 🤷♂️
Absolutely not run three 50 footers Mac don as well in Indiana no problems at all .
There is too much talking n no ENUF acton
I think they are too big to drive in public roads and hold up traffic for miles as they flip and flop in traffic barely able to control the combine. They should have to lowboy equipment to different fields .

Roads down here are so busy and have so many blind spots it doesn’t usually work out. Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t
or it's small and medium-sized farms trying to look like a real boy
