+William & Laurel Walsh Thank you for watching.

+William & Laurel Walsh thank you for watching. It is fun to go out and film these machines close up.

I agree, I don't want to hear stupid music covering the machine noise. After all the video is on the equipment.

What? You cant' be real?

How does a walker combine fare when harvesting soybeans ?

Thank you for watching.

interman 77 my parents actually own these combines we do strictly custom with them the only reason we have the 9650’s is for the straw we upgraded our 9550 to a S670 and the S was almost as good as these. We also run a 9610 with a 25ft head

+ritzbitz11 the 50 and 60 series walker machines were and are cool.

The rotor has dominated the market. Thank you for watching.

The 20ft seems to do well. When the 9500s were out allot farms in WNY ran 18ft heads. Straw production often makes more than the grain harvested in the region. In the fall many farms have a second larger head for soybeans. For example one area farm has an S660 they run a 922F head on for wheat and a 630 head for soybeans.

bigtractorpower my parents and I own the combines in the video and we run these heads in soybeans too. We also have a 9610 with a 925F and a S670 with a 630FD.

Very neat history.

Thank you for watching.

👍👍 Thank you for watching.

Thank you.

+beaver one the farm runs several bakers to keep three bale wagons rolling. All the tractors get hooked up on balers. You might see a 4020, 2240, 4440,7210,8130 and the 8300 out baling. I would rather be in the 8300 than outside on the 2240.

This farm has a fleet of Ford Louisville’s.

I have seen your L3 running next to the WK Parkway. I would enjoy getting a chance to film it at work.

+Nick Nicolaides thank you for watching.

They are not very common any more. In WNY where small square baling is popular farms ran 9650s and then 9660s. The last new 9660 was sold in WNY in 2005 and for 2006 that same farm went to a 9660 STS. After the 9660 John Deere introduced the 9660 WTS for North America as a small grain only combine which was followed by a T670 which initial used a 70 series cab and was upgraded to the S series cab. I visited a farm in California that ran two T670s. Unfortunately it was not harvest season so I did not get to see the T670s run. While I can not see much difference between a 9650 and a T670, John Deere markets them as small grain only and makes no mention of corn and soybeans for this model. That limits the T670 to the Norther Plains.

PinkOld we own these combines on my family’s farm and both the combines are 4WD

The entrance to the field was a cut through a fence line and a creek. In order to get all the equipment in the first combine had to park in the wheat to get started. If you notice later in the video at the 5:43 mark the 9650s cross paths. You will notice the second 9650 moves across the headland and gets the piece of unharvested wheat where the header wagon was initially parked.

I am sorry I do not know for sure. I know allot about machine production years,, machine factory history and general specs off the top of my head. When it comes to the mechanics of a machine and tire size I am not very good. Hopefully another viewer can help fill us in.

Thanks.

PinkOld my family owns and runs these machines and the straw quality is what people want not necessarily quantity

Very cool. We have a video of the POD Squad harvesting Lima beans out in Kendall on the way. I have always wanted to visit Star Growers to see their Steiger line up.

bigtractorpower oh ya they got s bunch if steigers

+46Rambo it is all small squared baled.

ToluMolu Jha we own these combines on my family’s farm and we do corn, cob corn, high moisture corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and buckwheat with them

I do not know unfortunately. They are some where between year 2000 and 2003 models.

Steven Rojas we own these combines on our farm and the one with skinnier tires is a later 50 series while the wider tread combine is an earlier model

The straw is sold to horse racing tracks and zoos.

This farm cuts over 1,000 acres of wheat with 4 combines. They travel over a wide area through several towns. It is easier to remove the headers when they move.

power

The machine combines cutting and threshing. Before the combine grain was cut and bundle in the field. The bundles were carried to a thresher at the farm where straw was separated from grain. The combine made it possible to cut and thresh in one step.

+Nick Nicolaides I grew up in Rochester.

Yes. They hire these 9650s to help them harvest wheat. The farm itself runs an S680 and a 9660 STS combine.

It is not intentional. In the past I have narrated the video while I was filming. I am just starting to create some videos with a micro phone and voice over. It is taking some practice to get the microphone and the pacing to line up with the video.

bigtractorpower oh okay but I still love the vids, it's probably better to hear yourself in a nice quiet room than with tractors and such buzzing around, and you'll sound a lot clearer, and you can adjust the voice of your volume to make sure people can hear you a lot clearer and louder

It's a time saver as well. Trying to narrate in the field has several challenges. If I mess up s line a clip is ruined and I have to wait for the machine to make another pass. There are only so many rounds in a field so if I mess up a line I am losing ground each time to get a good shot. Also the sound is tough when I am getting s close up. The machine drowns out my voice. Now I can turn down the machine noise and turn my voice up.

ToluMolu Jha these are my family’s machines we do custom. And we use them for wheat, barley, oats, buck wheat, soybeans , high moisture corn, cob corn, and normal corn

+ToluMolu Jha yes it does.

Corn wheat and soybeans my family’s farm owns the combined
