JF FCT 1355

[ouelto]

can you make corn silage with it?

hi

[1213DCJHFTW]

havin fun there?

[1213DCJHFTW]

ha



[farmingisawesome]

How's that Fendt working out for you?

[JCB411abuser]

are the drive trains beefed up much from the smaller models? what is the maxium power you could reliably put on these harvesters?

[caseih9000]

jf's have no blower right? so do they blow as well as other pull type harvesters?

[RobinFarm]

Yes, they actually blow harder in many conditions. The cutterhead is just like a blower anyways, so it makes no sense to stop the feed and then restart it again. Have you ever seen one work?

[cummins2906]

why don`t you guys use a claas jaguar or something like it

[RobinFarm]

Simple math is the reason. A JF costs 20% what a self-propelled does and it has near-equal capacity. JF's have a fraction of the moving parts so they have a much longer life expectancy and lower maintenance costs.  Another Big factor is that they take less power to achieve the same capacity so fuel cost per ton is far less than any other machine in the world..

[cummins2906]

i see the point of the price but the capacity is way less than with a big self-propelled but it has his plus points you are right with that

[RobinFarm]

Capacity is not way less than a big self-propelled chopper. We have many 10-20,000 head feedlots in Western Canada using JF's instead of SP's. They chop nearly the same amount of silage with half the horsepower. Example- 400hp on a JF is a good match with a 800hp SP. Depreciation is way less, fuel consumption is way less & maintenance is a fraction.

[RenzeZielman]

Thats correct, the JF blade drum cuts upwards, throwing the fodder right out of the pipe. Conventional self propelled harvesters cut downwards, taking the fodder a half revolution through the cage, then throw it against the impeller blades where the longitudinal movement is stopped, and it has to be accelerated once again to be thrown out of the pipe.

[sasop117]

@RobinFarm yeah that true, but you need big tractor which is why its not suitable for everyone i guess

[JCB411abuser]

@sasop117 mount an engine on the harvester

[sasop117]

@JCB411abuser Thats exactly what we have got look at my channle

[JCB411abuser]

@sasop117 nice set up, would rather the jf though with bout twice the power, but what am i complaining bout we have a jd 6850 sfph at home

[77farm]

does it choke often?????

[xxfm12xx]

Nice vid.

[forth9]

The first time I've ever heard a BIG Fendt under pressure - fantastic output!

[RenzeZielman]

i wonder how long before failures start to occur... Fendts that size, never get worked hard for hours, in Europe...

[heatherlynnie]

Diesels get to work hard for long periods of time.

I drive a KW 900 ,do heavy haul with it, got a Cat C 15 in it putting out over 600 hp. The only limit is has now is the size of the radiator.Other than that she keeps on a going

[RenzeZielman]

Cat C15 is a different class of duty than the 7.2 liter Deutz...

[cummins2906]

that is bullshit i drive a fendt every day at work and trust me work them hard in summer time

[RenzeZielman]

I've worked on Deutz engines before.. believe me, they dont make them like they used to, with the 912/913 series engines.

[cummins2906]

but ther is no deutz engine in that typ of Vario ther is a MAN engine under the hood

[RenzeZielman]

only the early 900 series with square nose had a 6.9 liter MAN engine, the same medium duty truck engine as in the 800 powershift series, with poor low end torque. All recent 900 models have the 7.2 liter Deutz 2013 series engine

[MrAlbertsen]

Danish Farm equipment!

However ancient it is, its made to last

[heatherlynnie]

There must be a very efficient power transfer in the whole set up because there is a huge amount of forage going through there
