Neat Fall harvest video with BIG equipment

JD Seller · Nov 15, 2015

The young man has some great videos of his family harvesting. This one starts out combining soybeans, then shelling corn and finishes with fall tillage. There is some Great views in the first few minutes of the video. IF you want to see a BIG forage harvest operation look at some of his other videos.

Wow, that was awesome! Thanks for posting!

I think that makes a great argument for allowing farmers (and probably lots of other applications) to use drones. Interesting for us to see, and no doubt instructional for the farmer too. I have a few air photos taken of my fields after mowing, and I love to see my patterns from that perspective.

Thanks,

Troy

Nice, thanks for sharing.
How fast do you think they are going doing the tillage?

From the cow side of things, its sure enough a waste of forage, working the corn stalks down in the fall. I would graze them, but if you aren't set up for it....
I love the pictures from the drones. I have a video from my ex employer picking corn with his 12 row.

I didn't know the JD quad track was available as yet. Where in MN is that?

Near the end, it looks like he had a few near misses with those pesky seagulls.

I love watching big equipment like that in operation. Gotta respect anyone who has what it takes to manage those big operations. Watched the Poynter farm vid, too. That Claus was eating corn at a pretty good rate, wasn't it?

That disc chisel would stop my 1955 in it's tracks as soon as it dropped into the ground. Lol! Remember the days when a 100 hp. tractor was considered huge? Somewhere about that time period someone did a survey for the tractor manufacturers and one of the questions was something about what farmers considered a "medium chore tractor" and I remember the manufacturers about swallowing their collective cud when the answer came back that farmers considered 80-100 hp. tractors small tractors. This was at a time when manufacturers considered 115 hp. "large" and 135 hp. top of the line "huge" and considered 40-50 hp. tractors as chore tractors. It always seemed that the manufacturers were about ten years behind the farmers needs back then.
