Corn harvest video from Central Illinois as I spend some time in the field with On Track Farming Inc as they harvest the 2019 corn crop with their two new Claas Lexion 8800 combines with 16 row Gerringhoff corn heads. Also in the field they are running 3 different tractors and grain carts to get the corn from the field to the trucks.
The tractors and carts are
Challenger 1050 tractor pulling a Blazer 2000 grain cart
Challenger MT 743 tractor pulling a Kinze 1050 grain cart
Cat Challenger MT 865 tractor pulling a Kinze 1500 grain cart
In this video they are working in two different fields.

The Challenger & Balzar 2000 grain cart look like toys--until they pull up to a combine or a semi. Great Video, Mike.

I like both the idea of combines pulling their own heads on trailers themselves, and the folding corn heads. Saves another vehicle trip, and person.

Excellent video mike .They say it more like klause in germany .Had lunch with Mr and Mrs Claas in 2015 as part of a factory tour. Still a family owned company .

Mike - Great video. I'm a retired Pastor, living in Davenport, IA. Most of my extended family growing up were farmers (I was pretty much a city kid). My experience on the farm was in the summer when I drove Mom nuts, and she sent me for a couple of weeks to an aunt or uncle's farm to run off my excess energy. I enjoyed watching this harvest video. The overhead shots were great, and your explanation of the hand off between the combines made complete sense to me. Thanks again. Blessings to you and your family as you prepare for another season of growing to feed America and the world.

The yellow claas you can buy before until the 700 series is about the CAT Company that was in an partnership with claas until 2003. claas take the color paying cat for it and now all farmers in the us would now that are the good German Combines with the new Series from 2020 7000 and 8000 they decide it's time to make a point and let the Combines in the same color like the tractors are over years

Another great video Mike! Love the drone footage you shot.Gives us a much better perspective of the size of the field they are chomping on lol. I guess the Claas Combines sure got rid of that ol Deere and ran him right out of the field lol, I am curious about the header reels. They seem more like a decoration for the combine but I understand they push the stalks over a bit but curious how the hell they pick up downed stalks in a field?
