Love the content Mike and appreciate all the work you do so we can view your videos that is outside of farming. Loved seeing all the combines together with the grain carts as well. Would really like to see what you travel with for support vehicles as well. Not just fuel trucks, but how many pro tills, water trucks and sources do you have in hand in the event of a worst case scenario if a fire?

Thank you for doing your videos and showing us what you d In A-day I appreciate it you do a good job thanks again

12:32 mike n the crew trying to sneak around hahaha

Give you an A+ for keeping that many combines rolling and from the combine seat not only combine but carts trucks and unloading although that later processing not quite as technical with short crops.

Awesome Videos, Mike. The shot from the top of the combine moving down the road looked like a John Deere Commercial. I wish the Ideal Combines would have been better. I worked at an AGCO dealer in the 1990’s, always liked Gleaner Combines. But it really depends on what you have for dealer support in your area. Thanks for sharing your time and videos.

You can’t get around in my area of southern Indiana like that to many trees along the road we was able to run with our 25ft header a couple miles but that was in the river bottom ground hardly any cars and it’s not got as much along the road I couldn’t imagine doing as much farm work as you guys thousands and thousands of acres wow thanks for sharing

Mike, you're forgetting the most important function of the combine, how loud is the X9 horn, give it a blast please? ...and yes that did hurt when you dropped us!

Yes it is as a combine operator its your job to double check. Everything hydraulic oil engine oil def fluid fuel I been running combines 29 years on the farm so it's vital that the operator pre checks ✔️ like we did when I was in the u.s.air force when I was F-15C eagle fighter flight mechanic

Great vid

Magnifique vidéo et la moissonneuse batteuse x9 est bien

Fuel use is lower than I would have thought 0.4 gallons per acre that’s pretty good. Loved to view of 8 combines travelling down the highway with 50 ft headers on. So wide open where you are amazing. You combine 40 acres an hour most guys in the uk think they have a good day if they did 40 acres. Though they would have done like 160 ton of wheat so no comparison really.

So, I was thinking: for the "smile" header transport mode, you could use some woods as shims on the sides, just to give an "maximum smile"?

Just switch to a different page and then switch back. the spreaders module should pop back

What a massive fleet! You Guys are blessed! You couldn't move any of that stuff around here with the header on! Lol Thats a great thing that yall can! Great review! I pray the yields pick up! And Man you violently departed from us!😅

hello from Denmark.. it really is a big farm you have with so many combine harvesters. here in Denmark, most farmers have a maximum of 2 maize lovers. ha ha .. why is the grain so small with you? here in Denmark the grain is high, there is plenty of straw when it is harvested?

When Honeybee split, 'center hinge' their heads and with the heads in full smile, 60 footer head, 'wing' tips will be up in the clouds. When Honeybee & MacDon in Canada and Midwest in Auz land go into production with their new triple hinged 70 and 80 footer heads, those crops will be a shakin in their stalks.

@@lynwessel2471 Great minds think alike as I was also thinking about that. Self propelled grain carts with the drivers elevating cab at the back of the cart would work well, otherwise with a tractor, the unload auger would have to be angled back too far impeding the combine operators view of the spout end of the auger and the dust storm coming out of the back of the combine may contaminate the grain in the cart. Synthetic vision like that used in some aircraft could be used or a camera in the combines cab to see the spout end could eliminate the need to see the real thing.

Mike, whats max road speed on the x9? 20 or 25?

Smallest of seeds makes the greatest of herbs

Go to your settings and configure it to put apps to sleep when they are not being used

Instead of asking if they do custom work I ask if they need another window to practice on.

Still can’t figure out why you’re getting on the roof. Obviously they don’t think we should be up there or they would have put access steps on the machines

if you have anything but an apple you can charge them with a usbc laptop charger if you have 110 in there. it doesn't explode I swear, its the phone that chooses how mutch power it takes with the charge controller not whatever brick or in this case power supply can throw out. charges as fast as the phone will go and itl last forever.

Last year his harvest was worse than this. I believe he sayed it was very hard for him to get the seeds for this year. I also think he mentioned that he wasn't able to sell much of it because he needed it. Now its a little bit better. So I would suggest it is close. But these are only my guesses. Hope that helps. Have a nice day :)

Morning Mike, are you going to be concerned with residual carryover next spring? Could make seeding decisions difficult again. Guess the worst thing at this point is the moisture situation. We’ve had 10-11 inches this yr and need a good rain this fall. Lots of cracks in the ground. Maybe the grasshoppers will fall into them. Take care, have a good rest of the harvest. We are 35% done, got greened out last Thurs night. Hope to start yellow mustard end of this wk.
