+John Myers thank you for watching. It was a great opportunity to see all these combines meet up. I just filmed five S690 combines harvesting corn in this same field last week.

I enjoy being able to share machines at work. This was one of my early videos. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for letting me know. This was a best afternoon seeing all the combines come together in one place. This field is across the street from a 2,800 acre field on this farm.

Thank you for watching. I wish I could filmed this scene with a drone. The channel has over 1,000 videos. Check out the most recent ones I think you will like them.

@@bigtractorpower: Thank you very much! I have been watching some of your other videos and they are very informative and helpful! I appreicate the time and effort you put in to create and share this knowledge through your work. I'm grateful for your efforts. Thanks again!

Comanche3Six by giving them tax breaks!

The wheat here in Western Kentucky normally yields around 90 bu an acre.

The big machines harvest wheat and the tractors with wagons collect wheat from the big machines.

Sexpistol66 According to the NatGeo show “Ultimate Factories”, specifically the episode about John Deere, a single combine can harvest enough wheat in 8-10 hours to make 1 million loaves of bread.

Michael Murray Sorry to disagree. The largest John Deere combine could not do one million loaves of bread in an hour. Here is the math. A very good yield on wheat is 100 bu per acre. One bushel of wheat will make 42 loaves of bread. One acre will make 4200 loaves of bread. A combine with a 45 foot wide header traveling at 5 mph can harvest 27 acres per hour. So 27 acres per hour times 4200 loaves per acre equals 114,500 loaves per hour. It would take 9 combines to do that. That field had 11 combines, so they could do one million loaves per hour. Just think of the peanut butter and jelly needed.

@@michaelmurray7199 your math is off

@@makingithappen9722 those are combines

Thank you. This was quite a day out in the field.

bigtractorpower I’d like to know where their farm head quarters is located I’m a truck driver and I’m always looking at the fields love seeing them big operations with all that equipment in the same field at one time

👍

The John Deere S690s and the Case IH 9230 belong to the farm. The Claas Lexions are there from Claas for the North America combine clinic for dealers. It was a chance to see a fleet of combines all together. This is a corner of a 2,800 acre wheat field in Penbroke, Kentucky.

bigtractorpower I’ve been threw pinbroke several times beautiful country

bigtractorpower thanks for the reply just were are they located in western Kentucky I a truck driver and I run Kentucky TN Ohio pretty much everywhere lot of Kentucky at times may get a chance to be up in that part of the country during planting or especially harvest season would be great to see the operation in motion

Garnett Farms is sowing 8,000 acres of wheat

If possible it would seem that the tractor trailers could be brought out into a high spot in the field to keep from slowing the combines down. It has to be a custom cut operation so I wonder if the harvest includes combines and grain wagons. Either way you are right more transportation is needed.

+jbmbanter ever think think the ground maybe to soft for a rig

Guess I hadn't. Soft ground would be bad for a tractor trailer and even sometimes bad for the combine itself. massoverdrive11 said they farm 8,000 acres of wheat. Do they farm row crops and what would those be?

+jbmbanter tractors and combines are built for it (designed with that in mind ) where as rigs can handle some soft ground but if its to soft ya run the chance of tearing up the drive line

That is what we usually do

Jerome Miller It's possible he may be straightening the cut. The first combine has to follow the contour of the field, the second pass straightens the cut so every following pass makes a much straighter smoother easier to follow cut instead of following the field contour all the way to the other side of the field.

Jerome Miller v

Agree, looks sloppy

I thought that too, but if you notice, all the other combines are using all the header. If they lead guy didn't do that all their passes would be messed up.

They cover a bunch of acres in a hurry.

they supposed to piss in their pocket? i stop to grease my knife drive every 2 hrs or they blow up

+Agro do Brasil I use a Canon Vixa.

Só no GPS

Yes you can run a MacDon on any brand. They sell adapter plates to fit a Claas, Case IH, Deere, New Holland, Gleaner, Massey, Challenger or Versatile.

@@bigtractorpower Ok. That's a good deal. Thanks!

There are four 1,000 bushel carts rolling and 15 semi trucks. They are 5 miles from the 3 million bu. bin system. It was all moving fine.

bigtractorpower Thanks for your reply. In the film it still appears the combines were having to stop for grain carts, at times you could see them waiting with lights flashing and augers out!

The 2588 is a great combine. 👍

Garnett Farms is running 6 John Deere S690 combines, a Case IH 9230 and a Case IH 8230 to harvest 8,000 acres of wheat. The farm is hosting CLAAS North America's Lexion 2014 Combine Clinic. CLAAS has a Lexion 670, 730, 740, 750 and 760 in the field for the training school. The CLAAS 750 and Case IH 8230 are not in this field but are in other videos filmed by Big Tractor Power during the 2014 wheat harvest.

bigtractorpower

Big investment for sure.

They probably never really own it .

No actually Philip Garnett my uncle

Ron Windish balance

It’s mostly because they don’t have a lot time, and it’s better because you can just go to harvesting when a cart comes up beside you

Green is the new red...

Nathan93Baker it’s a big corporation farm not a good family farm

George Washington Farming’s not exactly a 1 person job after all.

This is the corner of a 2,800 acres. See the field being harvested when it was in corn at m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htCalqyQ1NXNaas.html

ja ich wunder mich auch hab noch ma auf der Homepage vo Claas geschaut, da steht nur 740-780 lexion

wahrscheinlich en Prototyp :) Waas Bauer

@@bigtractorpower thank you

Happening? I posted several 2022 wheat harvest videos this summer.

M.A. Hartsfield Nobody can have too much money. Not even Obama.

M.A. Hartsfield And produce cheap food .

M.A. Hartsfield exactly, lots of downtime waiting on carts. cutting misshaped fields is hard to be efficient in.

Most farmers lease equipment nowadays

Farming here is a little different. All this wheat ground is double cropped into soybeans right behind the the combine. Cut wheat on the field in June, plant soybeans in the wheat stubble and the cut soybeans off the same field in October. Each combine harvests 1,000 acres of wheat. You want to cut wheat as fast as possible to make way for the second crop of soybeans. Every day the wheat is still in the field is one day less for the soybeans to reach their maximum yield potential. So in this case large new combines make two crops on one field work well.

@@bigtractorpower I know , we double crop here in Kansas all the time too but those big expensive combines aren't looking too good this year with such low prices also weather still has the last say on yield 10-20 bushel soybeans just don't pay the bills and if your cutting 20 bushel soybeans or 50 bushel soybeans the wear is the same on the threshing unit and header except unloading auger in 20 bushels beans a lot less unloading required upkeep and operating costs on the newer bigger machines is enormous not the mention dealer only repair problems techno glitches (the worst) I am seeing a trend here in Kansas on big farms purchasing this new expensive equipment running the machine til it requires substantial repair then trading it for another new machine and the Dealer doing shoddy repair work and still asking too much with no warranties left basically a taillight guarantee Our farm tries to buy quality used under 500 hrs like retirement sales or estate , two Deere machines is all we use to cut 3000 acres (all crops) and we keep machines longer and do our own maintience and repair work (except Techno junk ) with Combines shedded frequently even during harvest season it really makes a difference

Matthew Bestge why

even though I am a big jd fan also and grew up on them but case and case ih is good also

Remember Case IH introduced the rotor. Without that tidbit of technology, Deere and everyone else would still be beating the piss out of its grain.
