Class 9 combines .. ?

[tweety]

I am keeping this one full .... a stripper header would not work on this farm . We get snow , and the heavy soil here would never warm up till June if we left tall stubble
In some areas you are right tweety , SW sask for sure . But other areas that would be a disaster come spring . Especially on a wet spring like we just had and some areas were far wetter like Lloyd through Meadow Lake .
We ran class 7's for years , don't need a lesson on their capacity lol
No where near this , not even close.
I was at capacity last night in standing wheat at 4.8 to 5.2 mph . Was just right 👍🌾

I guess you already know the answers then.

What was your bu per hour in wheat? Hopefully at least 4000. With your big class 9 maybe even more.

Btw stripped stubble fields trap snow insulating the field and if you notice are the first fields to melt corner to corner. In Alberta they did soil temp tests in stripped vs stubble cut and by may 1 there was no temp difference. Haven't seen any temp tests done here in sk, but am pretty sure it is applicable.

You get about 200 percent increase in efficiency with a stripper header.

That could be , as Mrs Brown says ..... "that's nice !"
Again not looking a saying this a big combine , don't really care about that . Just looking for others experience with them .
If a stripper header works for some areas that good . But was not looking to get belittled by a know it all out trolling .
Too much straw and trash leads to disease issues here . I will leave it at that.

Thanks Braveheart , good to hear .

Let me guess, you probably also have a vertical till machine.

[furrowtickler]

Nope , wrong again

we have run case always , they are really simple and reliable. one thing to watch is wheel studs. the 9 series break lots . did you get a big rotor or small tube . big is better in hard to thrash like alfalfa , flax , clover , etc. small is a lot harder to set . we have one of each .

that sure doesn't apply here . black fields dry first , no exceptions , if we cut our stubble higher than 8" we are in trouble in the spring . things work different in the northern swamp . best we can do is short stubble chop the shit outta straw then knife in nh3 in fall . mind you , hasn't rained here for 45 days, maybe changing this fall

Any trouble with the splines on the feederhouse driveshaft Caseih? Im off to get parts in AM, going with the cheaper style with out the slip clutch because its supposedly redundant and inferior.

Yep. Done ours last year. And chopper bearing update. Keep an eye on chopper bearings if old style with set screws

Good to know . Thx guys 👍

We had been IH rotarys from start,but with manpower shortage,looked for more capacity,had 5 IH in 2000,traded 3 for 2 Cat 480, one year old, in 2001 to harvest 12000 acres. Went to 3 580 ,but wondered if lost capacity,580 narrow body,480&590 wide body. In 2009 we rented a 590&9120&(NH said didn't have 1 to rent us) for whole season. Was great to see sideXside in all crops,comparing yields& fuel consumption. Were able to see 590 had more capacity than 580, but 580 more than 9120, was close in canola. So 3 590 in 2010, 3 760 in 2012, 1 tracked and 3 760TT in 2014. The tracks have been life savers in these wet years,along with dryer have managed to harvest without loosing quality. But of late,dealers have been getting gready, buying extended warrenty till prices come more in line !!

We were very close to getting a one year old 780 . Just could not close the deal , too far on the trades .
I love those things
I like this 9240 so far though , the 16 litre engine has tons of power . No need to push it at all

CaseIH , what are your tire pressures at ?
We had issues with the Massey 9450's as well .
Problem is they set up tire pressures like tractors with lower outside dual pressures which is the problem .
They should be the same and at least 35 psi .
It is a weight bearing application not for traction .
Anyway, we pressured up the duals to 38 psi on all 4 . No more issues
Did the same to this Case before we started so hopefully no problems 🤞
