Quick, someone inform Dear Leader that Comrade Iain has discovered Kulaks that need to be sent to the Gulag to ensure the continued glory of the Motherland.

Mediocrity and conformity above all else!

We run one on 5700

Furrow, have to admit that is impressive. But my curiousity is getting the best of me. In my area 2500 acres per combine would be the max. So I am interested how you do it? Class 8,9 or 10 combine? Grain cart? Header size? Crop rotation? Land all close? I realize that is a lot of questions, as I said just curious.

our area max is 3500 acres per combine.

We run 3 guys after the boys are gone to school. Just run two Tandem grain trucks , unload once on the go never stop.

9240 case
Mad concaves
45 ft flex head
All land within 2 miles of bins
Most fields are 300 acre or so
Crops are in harvest order , well try lol
Peas
Blackbeans
HRSW
Canola (80/20 swath / straightcut)
Soybeans

Two years ago we had no issues at harvest. Last year after it snowed for two weeks we rented one combine , a 9230.

Crop rotation used to be pea/canola/wht
But the helped lead to root rot in peas
Now we switched to canola / pulse / wheat
The pulse year is switched from peas to Blackbeans to soybeans to break up disease cycles now .

Again all our land is close , we are generally dry at harvest , last year a very odd 1 in 20 for us.
Land is in big blocks seeded and harvested as such as well .
What helps a lot is two seeding outfits .
Speeds up early seeding thus earlier harvest .
Wheat gets seeded first with a Bourgault 8910 , then peas
The planter seeds canola , and beans
Seeding window we try 12 days . Makes harvest much more efficient, for us .....
Every area very different .
Even crop maturity is also very key

I know of that family heated shop good mechanics by older used equipment. Funny how liberals are always jealous of there neibour aka grassfarmer

I wouldn’t care less if those were brand new. They are what they call “depreciating iron”.
I’m not the one paying for them.
Typically in my area one can do 4000 ac, and a good year is needed.

In this country, most guys are at 1500 acres a machine maximum. No way one machine could do 3 or 4000 in our conditions. Not in a million years! Those numbers shock me. Most of you all must generally have fine harvestweather and it looks like most harvest in August asa rule.

Must be nice! Lol

We generally have lower humidity at nights as well being in a dry pocket 90% of the time here. That helps a lot no doubt

Why would grass even ask the way he did.
