Lexion 600 - 61ft front biggest front in the world

[MegaGunnell]

Where is the wheat on the field, you need a header that big to get enough wheat !

[LuvHeeledLegs]

Instead of the music, how about hearing some sounds from the combine!!!

[101scrapes]

tearin it off!!!!!

[JaceJacksonGT]

i understand why you guys have a huge combine those fields are massive!

[AlexRyteuBart]

@JaceJacksonGT Massive and empty... 1.8t of wheat from 1hectare. But still massive ;)

[JaceJacksonGT]

@AlexRyteuBart yeah no kidding haha

[AlexRyteuBart]

@JaceJacksonGT It looks like Australia, average yield per hectare there is about 1,8 t.

[stevenfox25]

No way that any combine out would be able to handle a thick field with that big of a head. I guess if you want to farm crap crops with that big of a head then thats pretty cool

[djlitch123]

lool the combine wouldnt be able to handle a good crop , with that header on it

[mountaincat1000]

@djlitch123 it could prolly do it at like3 mph but a jd pulls a 40 footer at about 4-5 maybe 6 with a bad or extremely dry crop so thatd do ok i think, sum1 shld buy 1 nd see. if any combine cld do it itd be a lexion class 10 cuz the lexion class 8s out perform the john deere's new class 10 ( a buddy of my just tested one out) so thats a fairly good bench mark

[maariwarrior]

YEAH MIKEY!!!! DRIVE THE SHIT OUT OF THAT COMBINE!!!!

[peifarmer1]

pretty easy to see that they use gps, the crop on the left side of the header is just thinner than the rest. i don't imagine they get much rain down there

[Purly]

Stupid question from a totall farming illiterate: Why don't you use the full width of the combine? Is there a special reason for that?

[leon621511]

WOW thats one big header ! :)

[tractorguy58]

whats the point of having a 61 foot header and only taking about a 45 foot cut?

[HauntedChatroom]

damm bigg as fuck



[kurtmyhero]

You must not yield very much...

[1980Thommo]

hope it rains a bit more for ya this year and ya can test her out in a 20 bagger. fk that would be good to see. yad need my kenny over there to help keep it away! haha cheers

[przemox69]

Jak nazywa sie muzyka z filmiku? Prosze o pomoc !!!!

[Flyboy207]

you think you got some profits when you have a custom header and a chopper? Nice place, "man".

[marekpower]

co on tu ku@@@ kosi???

[rombouts123456789]

what is he harvest? grain??

[az67652]

the header driver must of been going fast to do 69 acers an hour ive got a john deere 9750 sts with a 36 foot front

[fodboll912]

stor



[dougie961]

i thought a 44 foot front was big

[izunia123167]

co to takie rzadkie??

[alansachser1990]

what you guys are picking up, have nothing, give quenen can go crazy!!!brazilian

[NELSONTCE]

you would need that 61 ft front because your reeping the worlds worst crop

[farmerwright]

Wheres the crop?

[phantom970]

For any one who gives a shit and those very first comments about the crap crop, that field now has 5 T/HA wheat on it grown just off rain fall. Those with more than half a brain will know its the rain that makes a crop, not the Farmer.

[fast1rac]

@phantom970 we have the Opposite problem in scotland, too much rain. looks a massive field

[zavida]

Central Alberta farmer checking in. The size of that header is insane, never seen one that wide before. We swathe our small fields that average 100 acres each so only need 12' headers when harvest arrives. With 2-JD7720 combines we do about 10 acres/hr, 1 field/day. At 69 acres/hr we could finish harvest in 10 field hours!! Of course getting that big header from field to field... lol

It's great that you adapt for your crop conditions and keep things rolling along... well done!!

[phantom970]

@zavida Love those 7720's. Good all round header. Did many hours in rice on a 7720, no mud or lodged crop could stop it. Went even better when we put a 18' shelbourne on it!!

[johnb32xq]

the full header isnt being used hes got 1/4 of it harvesting nothing

[johnsenkenn]

@johnb32xq

That's because there are nothing to harvest.

[kalisvar69]

I admire these people and these machines, my dream is to work on it. Simone Italy

[CarloTrassi]

Hi Friend. I would love to work there with you is this possible?

good'm from Brazil I'm waiting for an opportunity to go up there for this and my dream .. well if you can give the details of how this can get a job on a farm and Faso to speak with the commissioners to get the job since already thanks!

[TheHally2795]

how do you transport that on the road?

[450gmc]

ive only got a 41ft head ive got the biggest head in the county lol now im amazed

[2413scottmarley2]

yeild was low did ya see how fast he was driving with an 61 ft head

i thought 40 was big

[ohreallyandwhyisthat]

That huge header makes for a looong unload auger! Would you have to be real careful not to bounce the auger too much while driving?

[Rody9933]

@ohreallyandwhyisthat Indeed, or else boom. And hope that the grain cart doesn't stay away to long, because then the combine wil need to stop lol.

[dogboy441]

awesome machine 4 sure...that paddock this year would be pretty sight......for me the front is too big...so close to chaser bin and trucks.....any mistake would be huge.....out of the game even......

[HondaGery250]

Very good amazing front.... :) Like

What the second song name? (2:07-2:28)

[thefarminkid8760]

why do they even farm that ground, theres not any water, or was there a drought??

[enochaz]

that combine is gunna need foam markers

[14polaris14]

are they harvesting dirt? no seriously what are they harvesting?

[straggles1234]

@14polaris14

Mate its a drought affected wheat crop, before this year there hadn't been a great deal of rain anywhere south of coonabarrabran for 5 years, I have a mate from Adelaide who has never seen rain and as sneaky said Australia is one of the hardest places to farm but we do alrite. Crops are no where near as heavy as what they are elsewhere but we dont take handouts from anyone and we make our bank payments and live to fight another day

[Zippster26]

@straggles1234 we take handouts because we need to unless we would go out of business! our costs are a lot higher than in australia

[seba19870803]

zastanawia mnie tylko jedno co rośnie na tym polu, co on tam kosi przecież tam prawie nic nie ma

[johnb32xq]

quite a bit of overlap there on the left side the header soule be fully in use

[markuuljus]

That was Midwest 50 footer

[phantom970]

@markuuljus Have another look. It seems you wouldnt know a Midwest if you fell over one.

[thunderbird810]

North dakota crops look awesome!!! Again

[Rafalski1988]

Driving so fast this combine probably loses much grain, doesn't it? Or it's threshing system is so well it wastes almost nothing?

Nice vid

[phantom970]

That draper has done heavy crops. Some 7-8 t/ha irrigated wheat. It handled it no worries, just had a slow ground speed. The header is GPS autosteered (Beeline). There is just no wheat on the LHS of the front because of the Lateral Irrigator wheel track there, and to move over and cut a full front would A: effect the 60ft / 18 mt tramlines and B: there was some wheat on that end futher down the run, ( the run being approx 3 kilometres long.

[andinando]

@phantom970 what was that crop yeilding do u know

[phantom970]

@andinando The overall average yield was 1 t/ha despite that shit house bit where the movie was made. The 400 ha block had yields everywhere from .5 t/ha to 2 t/ha. Typical of Australian DROUGHT effected crops!!

[XxStealthkidxX]

and this guy is dumping on the fly. that must be hard as shit.

[bodders1029]

hell of a crop! You wouldnt want any smaller a front!

[hubicokombajnylubi]

how much metres ?

[DeereFear]

why is everyone wanking on about how this cudnt handle a big crop, of course it cudnt, its been designed for the shit crops in austrailia, i think its genius

[kewigu]

what*s the name of song???

[DeereFear]

@kewigu Frantic, by metallica

[tomekkq2f]

extra combine the best

[harryh930]

This wouldnt be able to go half the speed it is there in our crops over here in England!

[sp00ktube]

WoW, that wheat is not good huh? How did ya come out on it? Mother nature can be a pain from time to time. The rain has been good here in central NC USA up till now but now the outlook is not promising, and the corn is starting to tassle just when it needs it the most.

[sp00ktube]

61' header but he's only using 3 fourths of it?????

[07lthorne]

@sp00ktube I think he could do with some gps.

[MrBenno1981]

if only some people knew of the drought conditions we face in Australia and could understand our need to adapt to make it a profitable exercise, sure the US and Europe grow very high yeilding crops , thats a known fact , and the crop this machine is harvesting is not the average , but its proving the point we are willing to adapt to make a profit unlike some countries that rely on subsidies and would sooner run it thru with a plough...love to see those "farmers" try make a dollar out here

[46glc]

ma nn sta trebbiando niente..fa solo della gran polvere...

[PeterNZ373]

No wonder the front is so big look how thin it is

[casepuma165]

Gr8 video

[Kawasakiowner]

@waagii Sure it does =)

[Lastbilboy]

how much is 61ft in meters?

[Kawasakiowner]

@Lastbilboy 18meter

[markusfuk747]

wow that is cool

[rmarkv]

How long is the auger? and how far behind the machine does it go?

[vagnervv]

OO MY GOOD

[danielrigotto]

its easy when there is no grain on the ground. IN Brazil we are bether than you guys.

[tom6071]

@danielrigotto....... there is grain on the ground but not as much as everyone wishes..... and in brazil we are better than you guys whats the go with that? its the weather that brings us aussies low yielding crops not the farmers... so you may think that ur farmers are better but maybe the weather is on ther side

[remoluten]

nice cougar

[phantom970]

Where is the grain??????? Do you people know wot DROUGHT means??? Year after year after year .........etc!

[JohnDeere8430Ralle]

where is the grain

[petermills80]

i worked near thereon the big spub farm rennie produce never knew that there was anything like this about near there.

[e8uTu0Y]

I can appreciate it's big and cool looking.. but at that yield it's not that impressive.. I mean if you were running 220 bu / acre like we get in SW Ontario of corn through a unit like that it'd choke.

Still impressive though..

[flyboyandmeg]

No kidding, man. We could probably get 25ac/hr done with our old 8820 if our yields were 8bu/ac and we could travel at 15mph like these guys!

[mcalwee]

if you got 100tonnes an hour out of even a lexion id pay you a grand

[Rafalinek]

That header wouldn't work in Europe, 'cause there are much bigger yields here. For eg. in harvest '08 we were doing more than 100 tones per hour with claas lexion 600 tarra-trac but with 35 ft long header.

[wilko1297000]

fendt is the way to go!!

[farmerstork]

why didnt you drive fendt?? by us here in germany is it the best

[Stefano181085]

john deere is the best

[Arcus480]

And good ole American farmin cant mess with Euro farming...

High yeilds for the win!

[Kawasakiowner]

We usuly have some grain on or fields in Europe....

[dj00lazz]

@Kawasakiowner haha ;D yea the fields down i aus looks like there are nothing ! :D

i like denmark !: :D we have good fields

[Kawasakiowner]

@dj00lazz yepp We in europe have good conditions=)

[andinando]

@Kawasakiowner so do we mate been having excelent season were we are right now. the place were that wheat was growen isnt much of an area for wheat growing. though in all fairness its not the farmers fault just hasnt had the rain. prety crap crop hardly worth runing that header of it realy.

[SwedenJD]

@Kawasakiowner Yes there's a reason that we do not run with such cutting table. I grow grain in Sweden and the crop would look like in the picture would probably tears fall

[apolloman45]

Australian farmin does even compare to the US. good ole American farmin!

God Bless The USA

[bbeckem]

you cant hardy run thyat in a good harvest. running a 30 foot head in a good wheet crop the combine cant keep us so you have to crawl along. Bigger isnt always better.

[heavyblazer99]

i worked with this beast when i was in NSW in oct 09 and it was running at a max 6k in a 2tonne/ha crop where i was running at 12k in the same with a 40ft front on a case 7088, i think its more of a "oohh look at me" thing but granted in a weaker crop it would tear most things apart, but in a bigger crop the actual header cant handle the amount of crops the front can put in to it even tho it is a 600hp machine, regardless this thing is majorly impressive to see running in the metal

[jbomb3000]

would love to see it working in a better crop

[zyciee]

muzyka bez sensu

[kryets]

what r you harvesting.

[manganbmx]

wheat stuble lol

[xxfm12xx]

Sure its cutting fuck all. Looks like the field is already cut.

[foxracing619]

how long is the aunger

[sneeky253]

Reading through these posts just scares me in the fact of how little people now about farming in different parts of the world. Australia is one of the hardest parts in the developed world to farm, the heat and rainfall make 5t/ha (or 72bu/acre) an excellent crop. We are not subsidised like European and American farmers and yet we still manage to be the 4th largest exporter of wheat in the world. We are regarded as the most efficient farmers in the world because of concepts like this. Great work!

[jimbill67]

agreed, i farm in texas and run a custom farming business, efficiency is key, i hate gettin help from the gov which is why i started the custom work, hope to get down ther sometime and check out the farmin

[johnsenkenn]

@sneeky253

That's about half of what is the standard here, how much do you get for your wheat down under.

[sneeky253]

Just depends mate. This year it is running very close to CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade). The norm is CBOT + whatever the currency is (atm its about 93cents) + or - basis.....in a low production year we usually have a basis of around +$40 or more. APW, which is our middle of the road grade for wheat here is about $175/tonne or about $4.80/bu.

[nchayfarmer]

thats all we get here in north carolina if we are lucky if we didnt grow tobacco we wouldent survive we only custom pick 1800 acres in NC one combine a grain cart and 4 trucks

[Kawasakiowner]

@sneeky253 You guys are just big in the mouth !

[johndeere1993]

I think you need to come and farm over here for a few years. I got to admit, our crops a no where near as bad as like that but in the end of the day no matter how bad the crop is. We all still need to make a profit. So don't call us big in the mouth. Cause where not. Its the truth. Farming here is tough and smartasses like you commenting just shows how little you know about farming.

[Kawasakiowner]

Ok big guy, show me then how farming works OVER ther!....

[swarve69]

@sneeky253 Here Here!!! I agree sneeky. I come from the uk p.s.

how much would one of these headers cost? are there any bigger ones yet? Amazing Video!!

[poida84]

@sneeky253 Now someone with some sense cheers

[dj00lazz]

@sneeky253 yaaa. a farmer thats my friend told me the european farming and austrailien farming its to much diffrent things

[Davobeff]

@sneeky253 Mate where we farm we're happy with 1.2 t/ha. only went 0.4 t/ha though this year.

[chrisfranky]

Bei 90 Tonnen und 28 ha in der Stunde macht das gerademal 3,214 Tonnen pro ha.

Das ist wohl sehr wenig.......

[TheLaugenwecken]

Ahm ... Wo ist bitteschön das Getreide ??

Wieviel gibt das ??

10kg pro ha ??

[farmhandstudios]

wow, that is big. great song choice by the way. frantic by metallica!

[tgustafson47]

the header was actually $600,000 to make, it says on the other video they have

[Mr123hell]

You fuck head! Its build for that kind of bad crop!!!

Think about it!!!

[Mr123hell]

Millions of dollars!!! Come on you moron..

Because its fucking cheaper to harvest a 1 t/ha field with a 61 compared

to a 36 foot Right????

[Mr123hell]

And Tommiclio

That front was used in some 6-7 T/HA wheat and it handled it well !!!!!!!

You moron!!!!

[Tommiclio]

Not on about what it can handle as in intake.

I hope it could handle 7 - 7ha!

I was on about how practical that width would be for british farmers....

In essence NOT AT ALL!

[Kinhaven]

Only in Australia with there drought ridden shitty crops.

[sstroh08]

look at the size of the unloading auger thanks to that massive header

[Mr123hell]

JD6920inBerschweiler ????? He is driving with full front!!!!!

[KnorpelDelux]

Isnt that a Robinson filming the Combine?

[kylebwoi]

thats some poor crop right there :(

[ivanoselleri]

here in europe it's impossible to work witha an header like this.the beater will go in crisis with our kind of wheat

[MrBigdogg187]

do u think so. but over in australia you can go pretty fast in the long fields. i live in europe. i ride a lexion 560. with 2 auto pilot lasers. it could depend on what weat u grow as well

[ivanoselleri]

where are you from?

[MrBigdogg187]

england a place called portsmouth. but im really into farming. i was born in portsmouth but i now live in the country side on a farm

[jbcd1211]

haha yeah

[Mandwen82]

You could fit that header to a Ransomes Cavalier on that crop!

[yjcrawler25]

61 ft hmmm would like to see that in some heavy wheat or a good crop of beans ....doubt the seperator could keep up

[VYXtreme]

Nice item and working real well, pity the crop is next to nothing. Would enjoy seeing it in some good yielding paddocok

[johndeere1993]

welcome to australia

[xxfm12xx]

Going that fast that the Reel doesnt seem to be doing its job.

[RHUAIQUI]

imposible tanta maravilla ,.,., sobre las estadisticas de produccion ,.,.,.naaahhhh no le creooo nada,.,.,

[PetulantKim]

terrific bless you this is how we feed the world. watch beckley harvestubg youtube with seven combines in a row. factory workers and farmers are the real heroes of this nation, god bless him. just send it one down the line.

[iOWNaFERGUSON]

name of song

[phantom970]

Not sure of song but its by Metallica

[birjer45]

the name of the song is Metallica - frantic

[Ciggy001]

bit of a shotgun crop eh, huge front though!

[NIXUTE]

BIGGER IS BETTER! Might be a different story this year given we've had more rain. would be awsome to see 3-4 wide? Would be hard to transport.

Everything is big down under :)

[cossieeater]

If my crops were that shit i would be combining as fast as that too. lol

[TheOzzy450]

i recon it is more impressive to see a 600 with a 35ft in a 14tonne wheat crop . hardly worth running over that. good on ya though

[graham640]

thats som mother of a head man saw 45 foot heads in australia but this lad takes out

[27585hendo]

it is nice and big, if it was in a better crop you would need to be dumping into a chaser bin all the time

[johndeer7030]

nice

that heli u filmin from urs ?

[phantom970]

It is the harvesting companys chopp.

[johndeer7030]

kwl

[kniffterockt]

Geile Scheiße!

[droooppyywilliams]

if that thing ever saw 100 + bushel crop you would see a snail pass it

[19finlay94]

how do you transport it?

[tenilleo]

any header looks good in 1 bag crop

[deagsy]

listen to all these people offering comment from countries where farming is heavily subsidised! Wouldn't know a struggle if it hit them in the face. Can't even get a train to take your wheat to the port in Queensland.

[kiwifucker]

Nrrrrrrrr

you are so fucking clever!

[Schlossfix]

Schade das nicht viel drauf steht.

Bestimmt sehr trocken.

[zags7676]

you got to be losing alot of wheat with that header. I mean come on we have 30 ft headers and the lose alot of wheat at times.

[gonzinifabio]

metallica?????????

[cremedelacremex8]

with 17,5m with (in average) you get 16 km/h - not bad.

oo, I'd like to go to an australian farm to drive these machines for just one summer

[de10006]

well there's fuck all there
