X9’s at Redhead

[LEP]

If you tried 7000 ac here in the swamp you would be needing help

Yup. But I think if you do 3500 now you can likely do more than 5,000 with an x9.

Sometimes 3500 total with a class 8 and a class 9 is pushing it up here, and in the areas these guys are talking about.

How many case combines are required for the swamp for 7000 acres? Knowing that I can tell you how many X9’s or 8800’s are required…..

Well someone on here has will have 3 for 10-12000 ac if that helps you , kinda wet country also
If you’ve never experienced the wet and mud , you could never fathom it
6 hour days , missing many days for showers
Shit lotsa guys in the south don’t even have dryers , we experienced 2 southern falls last two years , coulda took whole crop off with an 8800

It can get like this here and it doesn’t matter how many combines you have a very few acres come off. Typically here 2000 ac is lots for a class 8 but on wet falls that could be to much.
Really is there ever a time when a bigger or more combine’s aren’t needed?

Admittedly the world is changeing and i am not keeping up. Not a big player anymore .But where are all the used ones going to go?
Ritche bros. Will make good coin when the used supply overwhelms the market.How many used combines does Novalin bros. have. 100s ? At some point they need a home. Over seas?
I could be wrong but costs and intrest
Per acre of newer ones seems nuts.compared to my worthless paid for combines even with parts and labour inflation . They will more than do the job.
The comment that got me was the if you could not run a new combine you should quit. I Should have quit 40 years ago then.
A lot of those farmers around here that thought that way in the past are long gone . Done . a long time ago.
Maybe à am wrong, different times

We’ve had lots of tough falls here last 20 years. In ‘14, we had 17 inches of rain during harvest. You need to have enough combine capacity to get it done in 15 days some years, and that will be all tough grain that needs a dryer quick. And straw like hell. 7000 acres for one combine will never happen here. Most farms here are 2500-3000 per machine, newer class 8s or 9s.

The kicker with these used X9 is that they are being advertised at prices higher than the original purchaser would have paid had they actually paid for them in the first place. All would have been part of a MUD deal.There also seems to be alot of them around all of a sudden. Brandt has some and so does Battle River. Wonder if all the ones ordered for harvest 22 have been delivered?

[Guest]

They will be wishing they would of delivered all the 22’s to green people
Gotta be a little disheartening for mother Deere and followers seeing all these one year old ones on red lots
Shows how any of these companies have no respect for their customers

What really bugs me as a very small acreage farmer compared to others, is that if you live overseas , you can buy a "new version" of a Case IH combine , John Deere also, that have tier 2 emissions a newer cab design and still mechanically the same combine they built in the 1990's for a 3-600 acre farmer. These types of machines , as far as I know , are not available here . Not eveyone needs a class 10 combine , or can ever afford one for that matter. For the farms that need them , at least you have material to run through them .

Read the book " Red Combines" and there are pics of these machines in Asia.

Just my opinion

Not exactly who the market is for these. The average farm size in the US and europe is under 2000 ac I believe.

Much bigger ag market in those countries than Canada.

Its still more economical to buy a couple 780s and hire some flunky from the city to drive one.

Guys from SCE told me they spent all harvest running after code ghosts in these.

Code ghosts in x9’s? I heard something similar.
