Nice combines. I grew up watching a 95EB with a 3 row head. That farm moved to a 6600 with a 6 row head it was a giant in its day. I too miss those classic days.

Yep, our country will one day regret letting monopoly forces drive markets. Boom and bust by design to buy competition at pennies to the dollar.

My local dealer AG Revoltion has sold several over the past few years. They eat up the acres.

It really eats up the corn acres quickly.

The 9T cleaned this field off in tow hours running with the S790.

They are worth a demonstration. They will help you stay ahead of the weather at bu per second. There is a 10T just in at Hopkinsville 😁

There is plenty of room between the combine and the cart.

Yeah really!!!!!

The Fendt combines are always neat to see in action. They eat up the acres.

@bigtractorpower they look like corn eating machines

It is always neat to video these Fendt combines at work. They eat up the acres fast.

The local AGCO dealer has sold Ideals for 3 years now. They have sold quite a few.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching Frank.

Having a good corn head is important. Often the majority of the corn loss I see is right in the track or tire imprints ever the corn was pressed in the ground falling out of the header.

Thank you for watching.

It eats up the acres.

And on 🔥

I watch Mike. The 2023 combines are three years newer with updates. Several have been sold in Kentucky and I have not heard any complaints so far.

Mike Mitchell is not someone that you can take farming advice from. Four of his ideal 9 came out to Manitoba and have run 2 years with no trouble. It's more operator error than the machine.

I agree with the operator statement, it seems Mike will find a way to plug a combine no matter what, and from what I saw it was mostly him plugging his machine up. Just like his X series Deere this year, he's not bad person but he has a unique way of doing things. And I'd encourage many to not do it his way.

Mike is as honest as can get and a lot of people they like equipment and only say the good things about it mike says the truth no matter what if Mike says they're unreliable so be it I don't know what you fagots think it was no operator error all fendt gives a shit about is electronic crap safety unlock everything before using even his s690s work better than brand new fendt if it's operator error than why didn't just Mike's break fendt only knows how too make tractors that's it like for example you can electronicly hook up the header wtf you need too get out anyway too clean the the place where it connects put so that's a pointless idea if you're too lazy too hook up your header than don't touch a combine use your little brains for something useful my advice too almost all manufacturers 🧠🧠🧠🤯🤯🤯

Yes it would.

Very cool. I filmed a 1480 recently.

@@bigtractorpower I watch all your videos

Thank you for watching. It’s always great to have people from Canada watching. I have some good tractor and farming friends in Canada.

The 9770 STS is one of my all time favorite combines.

The Ideal has a long reach. It is painted black it just looks gray in the corn dust.

@@bigtractorpower Okay. Not too crazy about black on equipment either. But, that's just me.

That combine could unload right into my little grain bins. Impressive machine as are all the new huge combines.

Despite the width of either corn or grain headers on these machines, it never ceases to amaze me, just how quick they can go, up and down the field - their processing capacity is truly impressive. Veritable factories on wheels (or tracks !). Another great video from BTP ! 👍

Thank you James.

They are considering the X9 as well.

Thank you for watching.

AGCO has really put Fendt on the map in North America in recent years. 👍👍

Thank you for watching.

Thank you James.

Thank you for watching the 9T

Many farms in this area run 24 and 36 row planters. The 12 row is very popular. As the combines get bigger farms will have to start looking at 32 row planters to maximize the harvest.

It’s a demo. That’s what it got sent with.

In 2018. Now class 11 combines are on the way for 2024.

@@bigtractorpower I'll be damned. In way behind

They build good machines.

Hahaha only good when working you don't have an idea

The investment in big machines are really increased in recent years.

Hopkinsville

It does but it was not set up because it was a demonstration unit.

This was a demonstration machine. The GPS was not activated. Farms in this region do not shred corn stalks. They just run them over with 30 inch blades on Wishek disks to plow them under. Then winter wheat is drilled.

I am not sure. It is a big problem in corn.

Thank you Paulo

This was a demonstration Model from the Agco Dealer. The farm was only using it in this field so they did not set up the guidance system.

This was a demonstration so the guidance was not turned on. You can see the gps globe on the grain tank. The future owner will utilize the guidance system.

This was a demonstration unit. They had just gotten to the field that morning when I started filming and they were getting it dialed in. Fendt does a god job.

@@bigtractorpower got it. Truly impressive machines.

Right? Like how reliable will these large complex units be in 20 years

Time will tell. The reality is the high tech features may not hold like a combine from 30-40 years ago that’s still harvesting this year.

Mike Mitchell has your answer

Thank you for watching.
