BIG TIME Colorado Wheat Harvest 12 Claas Lexion Combines
Video I recorded in July at a farm in the Byers Colorado Area as they harvest their 2020 winter wheat crop. In this video the farm harvests wheat with their 12 new Claas Lexion 7400 combines with 35 foot wide Honeybee draper heads. Also cutting wheat in a John Deere S790 combine with a 740FD head that the local Deere dealer was demonstrating to the farm. The farm is hauling the grain from the combines with two of their Case IH 500 tractors pulling a Demco 1400 grain carts and a Claas Xerion 5000 tractor also pulling a Demco grain cart.
I was at this farm for 3 days of the wheat harvest with different shots from several different fields on the Colorado plains.
This video took quite a bit of time to edit so if you enjoyed it please give it a LIKE and feel free to comment and share.
Thanks,
Mike Less - Farmhand Mike

Claas is a real German family company. No outside capital, no shares, no loans. You can tell that they feel obliged to deliver quality to the customer. Your constructors say: We are always the first and the others follow us. Thank you for the video and best regards from Germany.

Mike, having grown up on a wheat farm where there were more acres than trees and as flat as this was; I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this. Sat down and watched it all after a day working in the office at home. I escaped for over an hour. Thank you for all your time and effort. It is truly appreaciated.

I was amazed by the thick dark clouds forming with a little white puff of cloud over the Rockies in the mornings that then grew into such huge dark clouds in the afternoon. It was always hit or miss for us. But in the evenings it was always a spectacular lighting storm off to the east.

They upgraded & got 12 of the newest Versatile tractors (895's I think)...then the company I was driving for helped deliver bigger tandem discs for each one. That was a quite a sight....12 new Versatiles all in a row.....and the support equipment to go with it. Amazing!..... & 12 Claas combines would be even more impressive to watch. Awesome video.....thank you!

Would it not save time and fuel in larger non-pivot irrigated fields like that if the harvesters cut to the center and started a counterclockwise spiral to keep the head in the grain more by eliminating turnaround and cornering time? Can an optimization program be run to determine if that would be more efficient?

@22antler 3 жыл бұрын

@@mobeydick37 That method is more efficient if your fields are uniformly sized and the terrain is consistent. Not the case here. Even so, you would need precise GPS and a good program to find the dead "center" from the seat of the combine.
