Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[shtferbrains]

Don’t believe mother deeres claim of 30ac/hr in heavy spring wheat…..

Them there X9’s are a 22-23 ac/hr machine in heavy wheat. At that they are 15-20% larger than the other greenish combine…..

That seems to be what they are doing here but only have seen 45ft. Wondered if the 50ft actually gives more productivity in heavy wheat?

They are definitely grain eating monsters.

[SASKFARMER]

They can eat but yes on heavy crop your moving a bit faster and nice sample plus little throw over and cheap on fuel. Ours are 45 ft headers because 50 and we roads don't work

[biglentil]

An acre is 8.25ft per mile, a 45ft head covers 5.45acres/mile so to do 30acres an hour ignoring turns at headlands a combine would need a ground speed of 5.5mph.

[shtferbrains]

Couple hours a quarter

Can you do oats with the one cart?

They can go 5.5 , but if you want to keep grain that you grow , with heavy crop you ain’t travelling those speeds with any combine and 50ft heads . Maybe under 30 bus wheat .
Speed has nothing to do with capacity. It’s bus/hr at lowest loss achieved. That’s capacity
That could be 2.5 mph or 6 .
These NH 9,9’s can achieve 1600-1700 bph in good average wheat with .5 bpa loss or so .
Anything over 1700 and rotor loss climbs
I would thing the X9’s should be same possibly better .

I always get a kick out of sales guys , regardless of colour that claim you can go 5-6 mph , blah blah …… until you throw the pans behind

Changing Subject- Just interesting - I met 4 farmers last night from Maryland. They were at Glenavon duck hunting. They are going home to combine corn and seed winter wheat. Their wheat yielded 130 bushel/ acre and they received more than 30 inches of rain this year. Just thought this was just ducky. 🙄

[blackpowder]

The trick with inputs is knowing when the lowest stave in the yield barrel will be environmental.
I funged the peas and barley and early wheat. 10-30 bus difference from non fung A-B line.
Very surprised as I went into full shut down mode in my head very early. Later rains came and went all to berry fill.

25% done. Will have a 2 week break from 2 stage crop.

Those new holland innards sure solved the “long green line” problem , lol

it’s the new math

Lovely with no chance of rain at all …. Oh until it rains

How does your 1400-1700 bpa compare to the Case combines you ran previously? And wasn’t it Massey before that?

The case 9240 with Mad concaves was comfortable around 1200 , the Massey was around 1000 .

Can you reverse the rotors on the Deeres and New Hollands yet?

[SASKFARMER]

Rain delay yesterday afternoon. South of valley wet.

For oats two carts.

Rotor doesn’t reverse but new front reverse that works. I have had the accelerator plugged with green canola and it was easy to unplug.

All combines will be twin soon.

Case and NH new machines are on their way

I dont know about Deere but I dont think you need a reverser on a New Holland....
