Thanks for watching! Now, who wants to drive a combine??
I do
yes that was awesome thanks for sharing happy new year
Meeeeeeee!
I already do lol it is a case ih 5088
Me! I've spent time riding along, but never taken the wheel and controls.
Pretty cool that they let you film in the factory!!
In an age of "How It's Made" and "Inside The Factory" it still hits different when do a factory tour in person. The scale, noise, skilled people, moving parts, all running like clockwork. Doesn't matter the product - it always is impressive! 😎🤟
Back in the early 70's I was a welder at OMC. We made swathers, Hammer mills, different sizes of Skid Steers. There was no robotics, we did all the welding. Amazing how much has changed.
Every junior and senior high school student in the country should be required to visit a factory like this to learn to appreciate the hard working and dedicated workers we have in this country. Most will go to college and never understand what it means to do a hard days work , not just sitting at a desk and watching a computer screen.
I agree. I went to college to be a civil engineer but I like things like this. I also worked in the Trane, Inc. plant in Tyler, TX building condenser units for 1/2-ton to 5-ton AC outdoor units. I worked on compressors up to auditing(QC).
One could argue that the development, testing and procurement etc. are much more challenging jobs than just fastening the same bolts, installing the same wire harnesses and putting on the same stickers every day.
Judge the work done by the challenges faced rather than the calories burned doing it.
Yeah, buddy!
All good points. When the family farm was no longer an option to me I went into aviation. I've done most jobs from dumping the lavatory to being an airline pilot captain. The operation doesn't move without each person doing their job. Its important to remember that all jobs have merit, and value. All of them provide opportunity. @@Alexx120493
Are you kidding me the brain washing communist treasonous terrorist system would not like it that.
These videos show us all but especially the younger generation what humans can achieve when we all work together in order to produce the food we all love to eat. A big thank you to the Welker family for taking us on tour, from the UK, we appreciate your time & efforts.
I grew up in Charles City, IA. The town where Oliver and White Farm tractors were made. I toured many times and was always amazed at the level of pride the workers had.
when I was 14, I took the rotors to our new holland combine to that factory to be balanced. they were in the back of a ford ranger. they had me drive the ranger down the forklift isles to the balancer machine. the people there were laughing because they said they hadnt seen that before. then some guy in a suit from the office gave me a one man tour. it felt very special. wish the hollands were still made here too.
I started working there when it was a Ford/New Holland plant. Your tour guide hired me.
As a millwright it’s always fun to read the comments on factory tours. Because I do all the maintenance during factory downtime.
No matter what field of manufacturing... when you meet those who know what they are doing and why, they leave you with a very deep appreciation of their work. A great video guys - thanks much! Happy 2024!!!
Well said!
its awesome how they just let you guys film most of the plant. it shows honesty and clearly nothing to hide.
Welder here, this video speaks to my heart. Excellent!!!
I’ve a feeling this video only scratched the surface of the coordination of tasks from start to finish that must take place to produce these machines. It’s mind boggling to imagine how it all comes together in, as you said, a tuned symphony. Simply amazing.
CaseIH and the Welkers. ‘Merica. As good as it gets. Great tour!
I worked in the farm equipment industry for 42 years as an engineer. I tried to visit the shop floor once a week to see 1.) if there were issues; 2.) could a design be tweaked to make the job better; etc. Technology changed tremendously in that from the punch and crunch to the lasers of today that allows for more flexibility in design. Unfortunately, many of the designers today do not take the time to see how their designs are actually executed on the shop floor to see if something can be done better. Thanks for tour!
Nick.
Thank you for taking all of us along with you as you walked through the combine new con factory
Did this tour in 2019 , also the Racine Wisconsin tractor assembly plant, Fascinating assembly and engineering. Thanks for bringing up a great memory. 12,000 parts and they all work !
My Dad and I were in Grand Island for Red Power Round Up in June. They were offering factory tours, but we were too late to get on the list.
Thanks for the tour!
Really enjoyed the tour. Not a farmer, but a farmer lover. Without this, I would never had a opportunity to see this. My day is better. Thanx.
Now that's a very impressive video of the combined factory in Grand Island Nebraska... I have had the pleasure of touring the steiger tractor factory in Fargo North years ago .....
What an awesome plant tour! It is truly amazing what all goes into the making of a combine! Thank You Welker Farms for taking us along!!
God Bless!
With the advent of robots and cnc...I imagine the quality of these machines has vastly improved over the last couple of decades.
Go Case I m from Idaho it's hard to say when I'll get a chance to see the factory again thanks for the tour I appreciate this kind of contents
Scott wish I could have come with you. Reminds me of the factory tours I did in college.
OUT STANDING. THANKS FOR THE TOUR.
Hope you enjoyed your day at the factory. We drive by it half a dozen times a year going from Lincoln to our favorite camping spot about 30 miles west of there.
I love plant tours.... thanks
I enjoyed the plant tour very much
Thanks for a great video visiting the combine factory.
It was super interesting visit to the factory.
Amazing how these combines are made and put together. Believe you said a combine is made in a day. Wow.
All the technology we saw was beyond words. Technology does so much to put these machines together. Wow.
Sincerely appreciate the Welkers taking us along for this tour of the case IH factory. Just was amazing!!!!!!
Thanks.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Good to know still make made in America.
Great video guys.
All I can say is that I really enjoyed watching how my favorite combine is made, thanks!
Those Ursviken presses was made in my home country Sweden😊👍🏼
I think you have a greater appreciation for the equipment you own or operate when you know the people who built it.
Before it was closed and torn down, I'd gotten to tour the IH plant in East Moline, IL. Built combines, cotton pickers, some headers and planters. Got a personal tour, by a family member, and also when they did an open house, for the general public.
Very Cool... I got to go through the IH plant in Moline when they were still built there. Back when the 2388's were being produced..
great video, my aunt actually works at that factory its crazy what they can get all done in a day
I've been a Toolmaker for 20+years I am always amazed by how efficient this plants are! Minimum Waste, and Hi Productivity! These Plants are amazing, how every single part gets to the correct place at precisely the right time!! 😮
Spent my career in manufacturing. Fun to see how other shops do similar work to my experience.
Awesome tour. Thank you. 13 a day very impressive.
We got 12 combines out of that factory , awesome 😊
That was certainly interesting. The paint jobs are even excellent. . . . One of my uncles used to wax his combine and his tractors. He also gave factory tours when he left farming and your father, Bob, had the same uncle show him around the factory in Saskatoon. I would have been in awe on the Case factory tour. Thank you for sharing your video.
I toured the New Holland plant years ago when the combine plant was in Lexington. It was really something then and more so now. Lots of new technology.
I worked at Steiger tractor plant in Fargo North Dakota way back from 75 to early 80's nothing like what is produced now .
Not even close to as complex as they are now .
The when the series three came out , there was some nice improvements throughout the complete lineup of tractors. International were also being produced off the same production line as well . Not much changed over the years with them besides horse power increases amongst there different models.
Some Steiger tractors were painted different colors for Ford's , Allis Chalmers , and very limited number of few other colors .
I still remember the 1976 model and the Pink Panther I put there tiers on before they were driving out the door .
Back than the first automatic transmission were also starting to be optional as well in the series III .
I mostly worked in final assembly , but was able to work in many different areas to fill in for sick call in's , injuries , or people who went on short vacation .
So was never to boring or monotonous place to work . Plus there were many friends to make fun of ! Most importantly is there were a very very small number of workers who didn't care about each other like family !
I remember that one thing that was always fun was to start a rumor or jokes at one end of the plant to see if it would make it to a close friend at the other end .
Awesome tour guys!
That's awesome. You guys are First Class. Scotts comment to the gentleman in the cab at end said it all. "Thank Yiu for everything you do for us." That means a lot. We are all in this together. It takes everyone doing their part for the Globe to turn.
Would have been funny if you had stuck a Welker Farms sticker on one of the combines.
Thank you for taking us along for the tour.
Never even thouht how big the motor alone would be and all the plumbing to go with it... Impressive process that goes into making it.
Interesting tour! Neat to see the robotics/human working together. Your tour guide knew everything front to back. Thanks to CaseIH for supporting Welker's too!
Absolutely awesome, thanks y'all.
Very impressive factory!
I was able to tour that plant in the 1999. They were pumping out yellow machines then. My uncle was buying a brand new combine and invited me to go with him to see the factory. I have loved a good factory tour ever since.
I was at the original axial flow combine factory in East Moline Illinois before they moved it over to Grand Island NE.
The IH dealer I worked at was in Freeport Illinois. We drove several back from the factory to the shop.
That was a great tour! I was buyer for a major mfg company and there is something about metal just fascinates me.
I always appreciate factory tours. Was able to see the Toledo Jeep plant in 2006 when they were retooling for the new JK Wranglers. So didn't get to see it running.
My hometown. I remember when they manufactured New Holland TRW70 and 75’s. Amazing facility. Great video.
Hey you guys. Just stopped a my Shelby’s Pilot station last night. Headed to Calgary.
The Welker again showed us something very impressive. Very much impressed by how you all present content. Thank you so much for sharing your lives. It’s a treat
Glad to see you got in there, I remember you weren't allowed in the Magnum factory.
I'm so jealous i drive by that plant 6 times a week, and crazy u boys were 20min from my house I've been watching your channel for 3/4 yrs
Thanks for taking this video it is interesting to watch how they make them.
I have a 8230 also, but never seen the factory. Pretty awesome. I have been through the Steiger factory though.
Thanks for that. That was very impressive. We have a 2388 on our farm which I presume was made at that exact plant. I know a couple of Aussie farmers that have bought brand new combines from our local O’Connors Case branch (soon to be Titan) and have been given a free trip to the states to see that factory. They always say how well they are looked after by Case from the time they get to the airport at Melbourne to the time they get home.
How many Welker farm stickers did yall stick on parts and combines?? 😂😂
Enjoyed it a lot,thanks for taking us along.
❤❤😂😂 thanks for taking everyone along for the tour you guys are so cool and the caseih factory was freaking awesome 👍🏻😎😎😎😎😎😎
You guys sure are fun to watch 😊
That was awesome I always wanted to see the case ih combine factory .... it is awesome u guys got to see it and share it with us viewers....
Awsome video. Reminds me of my factory days at International Truck and Engine. Thanks for sharing. God bless. Stay safe and healthy.
Very interesting video, subscription deserved.
Really enjoyed seeing the factory, it's amazing to see the amount of work it took to design, build, and then start the factory line to build a *single* product.
Thanks for showing us how real combines are made!
Very interesting. It rattles the brain to consider, the number of parts hands on and fancy machines it takes to produce a combine. There's the investment cost of the farmer approaching half a million and then how many hours is it used per year verses hours sitting idle, No wonder small farms are disappearing and corporate farming is expanding. It's impossible to see where the break even point shows let alone a profit column exists. Oh, isn't there a weather factor too? You have my admiration and sympathy for being a Farmer today. You are indeed the worlds biggest gambler. But ya can't beat living and breathing the fresh air, right? Few experiences in life are more gratifying than come harvest time. Lived that life style for a few years and wouldn't change it for anything. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see. I was waiting for you to say at the end “this is our new combine”
Amazing, just love this factory
What an amazing video, and even better the walkers taking us on a tour, magnificent
Impressive, thanks for sharing!
Thank you Case IH. Very impressive.
Thanks for the great video always wanted to visit a manufacturing facility.
I had a chance to go through the AgCo factory in Kansas City with FFA. Impressive to say the least. Almost 30 years ago.
I went to this factory last year it was so much fun and now I can say I’ve been somewhere that welker farms has been
Very cool guys! Grew up about 20 miles from the plant👍🏻
Did one of the family have a few thoughts about making a break for the fence line and driving back to MT?
I think it's very good that factories like this haven't been taken offshore. Something to remember when Labor Day comes around.
I’m like leg arm as I enjoy the process of building the combine. The part manufacturing and assembly order. Amazing set up!!!
Realy great way to spend the day watch that crew build a new combine.😍🤩👍👍
This is why i love case good old USA made!!! ❤️🇺🇸😁👍
A robot arm for a plasma cutter seems to be manageable and reachable/doable for most people doing some kind of heavy duty "rough" fabrication. Just beeing able to cut perfect circles seems to make it worth it.
I live in Grand Island, and have several friends who work at the CNH plant. Can't believe you guys were here!
Was very fortunate to be there a few years ago. Awesome tour. And where’s Louie?
Great tour. Never saw a combine being put together.
I have bin to the Case IH Factory in Austria. it was amazing
Fantastic! Great job with the questions and the tour guide was the best! Thanks for the exclent content! Cheers!
Awesome tour! Amazing that they let you video at all. Obviously they restricted some areas. Thank you for the tour "Welker style"!
Thanks for the tour. I’m a John Deere guy but the only combine I have ever operated is Case. Never anything as nice as the one Leg Arms was able to drive off the floor. The ones I operated were always twice as old as I was. I wish there was a manufacturer in the US that still manufactured smaller units that could be owned and operated by a small farmer. If they did I would be all over it. We can’t hardly find a custom cutter anymore so we no longer raise grain. Because of this the nearest elevator is miles away.
Great video. Easily could have been double in time. Thanks for sharing an experience not many of us get to do!
I just love these type of videos I love factory tours, especially at heavy machinery like a combine awesome happy New Year’s guys
Terrific video and tour, thanks muchly.
Thank you so much. I know yal had a blast but it was certainly awesome to watch too. An experience to be had. Yal keep farming and we’ll see u on the next one
Can We assume that leg Arms was driving YOUR new combine out of the factory?
Excellent video as always.
