I still remember when I was at the University of Arkansas. One of my classmates mother came up to school (Architecture) and she told the Dean he had to come home and cut beans for a week or they would lose the farm. They leased an extra combine for him to run. after a week he returned back to finish his projects.They did give him an extra week to finish.
What a beast of a machine. Retired aerospace here, the high tech and engineering in that machine is off the charts. Keep the wheat coming to a hungry world. Hopefully you get plenty of moisture this fall and winter, enough to really get the soil moist down several feet.
These last couple post have been awesome! Love learning about the machinery. Farming is hard and complex work...Not for the faint of heart....In the words of Paul Harvey, I am glad....GOD MADE FARMERS.
@@donaldtriumph1682 Well, It doesn't matter do you believe God or not. It is what it is like 2+2=4. You can't change it by just deciding not to believe it.
That AF11 is a beast and a marvel. Glad your spring wheat is better than anticipated! Seeing 30 b/ac regularly is reassuring. Heck of a light show before the rain.
Looked like a mountain of Gold it was soo full .... Keep filling those bins ! Def happy for you all that harvest is abit better than you thought here and there .. Ty for sharing enjoyed the update !
I have been praying over your crops and although these videos are 1 day old, I feel the Lord has answered prayers of many! Blessings to you and thank you for sharing and thank you Jesus for the crop you did give!
I worked for a large Deere dealer for 33 years, so obviously, my blood is pretty green. I think the X9's are impressive, but I have to say, the first time I read about the AF11, I was like yep, that thing is gonna kick the X9 to the curb. I've watched some promo videos of the AF11, but this is the first real field footage I have seen. And yeah, that thing is extremely impressive! 50' of 30 bushel wheat at 10 mph is insane!! That extra horsepower really makes a difference. And at 400 to 500 less engine rpm's. Man, they have the torque curve dialed in on that engine. And the grain tank and unloading capacity is just as crazy! And, it is a really sharp looking machine too. Step aside X9's! But one thing I didn't see you do was check your losses behind the combine.... Stay safe out there all you Welkers! Inn
Some will want it bragging rights.... You need huge fields and friendly traffic on the blacktop... Hope the suspension is better than a high crop sprayer when it hits washouts at 10 MPH... Then it breaks in 2...if you have 2 9350's that's a better option..
Thanks for the very interesting feedback on the new IH 11 combine video. Super video Nick. The beginning of the video was an excellent introduction and you did great with the music and field scenery!!!!!!!! You are selling a lot of these no doubt!!!! Someone said it was a cool $926,000 if that is right. I am thinking with all the possible add-ons probably a million dollar machine-an amazing wow-get the debit card out-oh my-hard to believe where these machines have went!!!!!!’ This IH 11 really has impressive performance capabilities as you showed us. 10 mph through a field is flat taking in the grain. The fuel is up a bit but a much bigger engine also. The exhaust pipe is huge!! The flex head seems a bit odd but believe that is the way it is designed. All the feedback you provided is fantastic and amazing. This new Case 11 combine is a home run!!!!!!!! One thing that is impressive to me is the fantastic relationship between Case IH and the Welkers!!!! Stop and think about it- - this is a million dollar piece of equipment and the company turns a completely newly designed machine over to a wheat farm operation to see how it does and gather feedback. I would not think every company would be willing to do that UNLESS there is complete TRUST between the parties involved!!!! Congratulations to the Welkers for having that relationship with Case IH. To me that speaks volumes about the Welkers and the amazing people they are. Proud to know the Welker family through this RUclips channel!!!!!!❤!!!!!! Thanks loads to Nick for the fantastic feedback on this machine. Your description of the machine has been excellent. Had to think about carrying 570 bushels of grain in that tank on the machine; almost loads up a semi trailer-wow. About it I guess. Really enjoyed this video. My prayers to you for a continued good harvest. My blessings to you all. Take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve. 😊😊👍🙏✅💕🇺🇸🇺🇸
It’s amazing to see how far equipment has come in the last 30 to 50 years. 100 hp tractors were big. 150 hp combines were big. Now 775 hp, 50 ft heads, wow. That would be so much fun to run for a day. Thanks for the videos. Have a safe harvest.
When we first started picking up on the go, the combine hardly had enough power to combine and unload at the same time. We would be down to a mile an hour when unloading. That was with an eight row head.
I really like the way you describe , explain, and discuss, the individual components of a combine in a way that anyone can understand. 99% of our citizens don’t have a clue how our food is produced. I know you don’t produce the yields that other parts of the country do, but I think you do it as efficiently as it can be done with the amount of rainfall you have. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Your channel is my favorite of the many ag channels I subscribe. BTW, the AF 11 is an absolute BEAST!!
Why do you have to bring EVERYTHING to some "Murica" perspective. They do what they love, awesome, good for them. You know what will make you cry. This awesome Belgian machine that he uses !
@@bluerebel01 So what? There is no connection between a farmer working, and making a country great. You know that if you remove Monaco and the Vatican, there are farmers in every country? That's not about "making a country great"... You're North Korean / Chinese / Russian level propagandised about your country, seeing everything through this spectrum is absurd.
Awesome combine and header combination, what a great video. Thanks again Bob , Scott, and Nick for sharing this information with us. Suggest you put combine lighting on the Fummins.😅 . God bless you and keep you all safe.
Wow your partnership with Case is so cool. Hope one day you have a good crop and buy the air cart and 9260 like equipment. But don't forget about the Buds😉😉
Was waiting on a report from Arm pits but he sounded like he had a cold?!! feel better Scotty ! Great video and combine Nick ! And Bob ,your just a Nut ??
Yeah, it may burn a bit more fuel than one of your combines, but its also almost doing the work of both of them. So, it's an overall win on efficiency and fuel use.
Yeah, a great machine. But, if it"s worth to spend so much money for it. Compared with the 2 you have. It"s great Case IH let you try m. Having such a machine will be a dream. Thanks for sharing your expiriences with us! Have a safe and blessed harvest. See you!
Guess that's why wheat prices are in the tank they seen Montana moisture during a hopefully dry harvest...??? Seems the world needs a big disaster somewhere so the price rises... To buy that wheat high roller combine!!
Growing up on the ranch/farm in the 50's, I couldn't even dream of machines like this!!!! I am blown away by the size if the header, and all the electronics, and automation of today, so how much to buy this machine??
Awesome combine, glad you got to show it off! I rember when the new 1460's started showing up in our area. So you need to tell IH to let you demo this in corn country! You have the on screen personality to do it. I would watch you guys doing that, but somebody else maybe not. IH should have figured that out by now. You would be their best spokesman. They should let you be a spokesman while deere is busy messing with the CTO. LOL
The yellow version aka new Holland cr11 has been making the rounds in the UK on demos and will be released for next years harvest Same combine just different colours
At first glance it appears to be an awesome machine. The true test of any machine no matter the brand is in a rice field after a hurricane goes through and blows it all down.
I checked out one of the newer Case units a few weeks ago, noted the huge number of hydraulic hard lines and control valves, lots of electrical, engines that are twice the horsepower of units a decade ago. Headers that must be neck cranking to monitor. At the cost of the current models , it still seems to be infeasible to own them, especially if I would have needed 5 or more to cover what I once farmed. Even back then I used custom cutters for 3/4 of the acres. Maintenance on my 3 kept us busy. One of the big issues was monitoring the moisture/ temperature of crop, as well as having enough storage and handling to cover the bushels per hour that would be put out.
Just a thought Nick, I believe you said the new combine you were operating was running about 4 acres per gallon while your family's combines were running 3.2 acres per gallon. That is still a very significant difference if this is anything close to how these different machines average out. That is a 25% improvement in fuel economy. Just sayin'. That's one heckuva machine.
@@JayBrinda-hq6ji def is cheap and it should not use more than 10% def. Also engines with def are tuned more efficiently because engines without def use a less efficient tune to meet regulations.
Let the other guy pay... Buy slightly used machines maintain well and don't abuse... Then sell after 8 years and a upcoming good crop... and then do it all over again... Fuel is cheap it's the machine...Is it cheap to maintain and not a bit of a lemon and hard to resale!! Case IH probably knows much more about that than the Welkers test ride..
I was one of the first guys to drive the new S700 series John Deere combines at the dealer i worked at. Was an S760. That throttle back road mode became standard on the 700 series deere combines. That was 2018 i believe. Works just like their IVT transmissions
Thanks for the details, how and why's. Learning so much, 11mph, automatic loading the rotor for efficiency, awesome! ( the ol F2 enjoyed 40bpa wheat just 15ft at a time, hahaha )
With the huge capacities, not only is the fuel consumption far less per acre, but engine/machine hours per acre are way less. Less wear and tear per acre really counts up. And when you are up against a bad weather report, every high productive minute counts tremendously....end game = one less machine on the farm to get the harvest done, or ability to do more acres.
I think they introduced the eco road mode in the 50 series. Our 8250s have that. 25 mph at 1400 rpm. Not sure if I like it or not. It makes the hydro a bit twitchy if you're not smooth. If you move it too fast, the engine will jump up to full rpm but the computer will slow the hydro pump, but it's not perfect so you get quite a surge sometimes. We disabled eco mode on our machines because of this. I think it could be quite dangerous if the operator is a novice.
Need to adjust that header.. not yours I know... I set ours so that when you pick up it will lift the ends faster that the center.. if it frowns when it's up it is wrong for future reference.
Nick every time I see lots of chaff and straw on combine I'm always blowing it off your combine just noticed I do it without thinking 🤔 😆 🤣 hope it helps you guys 😂❤❤❤ 🙏
Running a combine at 10mph is just nuts to me. That header meeting a rock would destroy that thing or the fact that I can’t believe it doesn’t just seed next years crops
@@gooddaysahead331 A machine to avoid??... Might be good in consistant very high yielding areas... Then in Montana Use 2 40 foot tripple delivery swathers to feed it or does MacDon make one for double swath that wide?
@@Highrockoutdoors47 they do look futuristic. Im into the CR11 and the new CR10. I love what NH have done with the styling but the case AF series look awesome aswell but the NH is for the uk america and Europe and other countrys but the case AF 11 10 and 9 combines are for the USA only witch is a shame but hay ho
Years ago, when Gleaner first brought out their first rotary combines, I saw a combining demonstration in a field, comparing the Gleaner to a number of other brand combines, all new, "state of the art" for the time period. The Gleaner was running away from the rest of them, cutting around ten miles per hour. Over the next year or two though, I heard most Gleaner owners were slowing down their cutting speed because the combines were suffering structural damage, they couldn't stand up to the pounding of traveling 10 mph all day long. I wonder how the AF11 combine will stand up to the high ground speeds cutting.
I’m struggling with your maths regarding corn and wheat. You quoted wheat takes more power to move up through the machine/augers. That machine is not running anywhere near its capacity you see that looking at the amount that’s coming into the grain tank. Bring it over to Europe where we are getting 4/5 tonnes per acre 6/7 in some places now that would make the combine run at full capacity.
That's more realistic... Montana at 10 MPH...??? Ya hit a rut and it breaks... Not good.. Should not be combining at speeds above 6 to 7 MPH... The new (most Wheat) drills seed at under 5 or 6 MPH. It does not have the built in rut suspension that 15 MPH sprayers have...
Grew up operating a super 92 massey with a 36 inch cylinder....A toy . I believe the hopper was 65 bushels ...This combine probably holds more in the auger 🤔... nice machine
My 9250 idles back when in road mode much like the af11. It's nice because when you come to a stop, it idles down for you even though the lever is set to.max RPM
Just came back from the outdoor farm show in Ontario, they had the new Holland cr11 (what the af11 is just painted red) as well as af9 and Jdx9 as well as all the other big makes but man do they make my 9500 look tiny

Mike Mitchell gives excellent critiques, (pros and cons) which can help to improve a product.
Mike is a great farmer , I bet when he gets to run a af11 he will make his wife happy. I ain't never seen him run anywhere close to 10mph in wheat.
Bang on as usual. Cant wait to see one in the UK.

Makes think of all the grain I scooped by hand, back in the 60's.
Man you are doing my head in by not raising your reel a bit to stop flicking those full heads over the back!! But a very impressive machine.
Case should give you a new combine/sprayer/tractor/ (Ok maybe stick to the Big Buds) every year to test. Your review's are awesome!!
At first glance it appears to be an awesome machine. The true test of any machine no matter the brand is in a rice field after a hurricane goes through and blows it all down.

I love what NH have done with the styling but the case AF series look awesome aswell but the NH is for the uk america and Europe and other countrys but the case AF 11 10 and 9 combines are for the USA only witch is a shame but hay ho
@@jezcolborne6329 yeah we need both of them they did have one at a farm show here in the us I think
It's impressive how fast that AF11 can harvest
Years ago, when Gleaner first brought out their first rotary combines, I saw a combining demonstration in a field, comparing the Gleaner to a number of other brand combines, all new, "state of the art" for the time period. The Gleaner was running away from the rest of them, cutting around ten miles per hour. Over the next year or two though, I heard most Gleaner owners were slowing down their cutting speed because the combines were suffering structural damage, they couldn't stand up to the pounding of traveling 10 mph all day long. I wonder how the AF11 combine will stand up to the high ground speeds cutting.
I’m struggling with your maths regarding corn and wheat. You quoted wheat takes more power to move up through the machine/augers. That machine is not running anywhere near its capacity you see that looking at the amount that’s coming into the grain tank. Bring it over to Europe where we are getting 4/5 tonnes per acre 6/7 in some places now that would make the combine run at full capacity.
That's more realistic... Montana at 10 MPH...??? Ya hit a rut and it breaks... Not good.. Should not be combining at speeds above 6 to 7 MPH... The new (most Wheat) drills seed at under 5 or 6 MPH. It does not have the built in rut suspension that 15 MPH sprayers have...
Grew up operating a super 92 massey with a 36 inch cylinder....A toy .
I believe the hopper was 65 bushels ...This combine probably holds more in the auger 🤔... nice machine
Fuel burn is a minor detail.
Capacity and reliability are the bigest criteria in buying a combine
My dad was born in 1926. He always talked about the first combine was 6ft straight through.
The king always be in the fields
My 9250 idles back when in road mode much like the af11. It's nice because when you come to a stop, it idles down for you even though the lever is set to.max RPM
Very impressive machine. Very. Thanks for sharing this with us 😊
Just came back from the outdoor farm show in Ontario, they had the new Holland cr11 (what the af11 is just painted red) as well as af9 and Jdx9 as well as all the other big makes but man do they make my 9500 look tiny
Good thing that Nick always finds good weed. 🌿😁🤘
Yes sir, Case IH has come a long way since the series 127,141 and 181 McCormick IHs
That AF11 is a beast and a marvel
HEADER TRAILORS GUYS 😂😂! Thanks so much!!!
Wow what a hunk of a big combined!
Watching this harvester in action is just epic! Anyone who thinks farming isn't impressive, watch this video! Don’t agree? Come argue with me
