You guys are the Best! Love the videos and Thank You Again from all of us at Copperhead AG and thank you for the opportunity to be part of your awesome Farm!
@@robwar2288 No, quite a bit less than $10,000. Our competitors are over $10K, but don't perform like Copperhead in different crops. One Concave, Multiple Crops.
Bob did a excellent job on explaning what he's experianceing in the combine. I enjoyed seeing just how advanced farming is with modern equipment and semi-modern farmers. 😁
Brain great video. Your dad always impresses me. Bob did a great job of showing how to steer to combine and explain the loose monitor. It blows me away how much has changed in farming. It was great to drive a 7720 John Deere back in the early 80’s. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for another great video Brian. It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch. Sounds like you are getting the new Fendt combine dialed in. You dad indicated he really liked that honey bee header. Said it works just fine. He kind of went over the combine with us and feels it is a good machine. He likes that joy stick steering and showed us the various controls that work fine for him. You are getting real good support from the dealer and the concave people dad indicated. That helps get everything dialed in. Glad the new combine is doing what you all expected of it. Nice 👍. Nice to have enough drivers to keep the trucks going to the elevator. They have a wait at the elevator anyway. Keeps the grain moving out of the field. I noticed the new combine really shoots the shafts off the wheat out the side. Really spreads it all over the field instead of in a pile. Nice machine. Thanks for the drone footage of the combine going across the field. Really looked sharp going across the field. Thanks for everything Brian. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Amazing technology that is available on the fendt combine, and good to see that the yields are good and hopefully the beans will take off and yield well as a second crop.
Great explanation & content from your Dad Brian...I am getting a migraine & nose bleed from listening intently to understand his accent, but it's very much worth it...!!! 😀🙏🥴
Thank you, Dad, for your input. When I saw the 50’ head making its way across the field, I was impressed. I also agree with you that the wheels supporting the head height seems like a great design. Good video, Brian. It was funny when you were counting down the full combine vs. the grain cart.
Those fendt’s look pretty cool but guys out here have horror stories about them especially on lentils with plugging up the choppers and lots of plugging on one rotor, all switched back to Case or deere. Think I’ll be sticking with my case ih combines for now but never know, if fendt figures out the plugging issues id be interested
Your honest opinion on the old farmer running the new Fendt Ideal combines respect for experience with insightful commentary on modern agricultural technology, showcasing a balanced perspective that honors tradition while embracing innovation. And I am Floating Village Life In From Viet Nam
We were dealing with Vomitoxin in 2014 in North Dakota. Had to leave a lot of fields because it wasn’t even worth cutting it was so bad, and what didn’t have Vom ended up sprouting in the field. It was wet all spring and continued right through harvest. We had 2 of ours, another crew had 2 of theirs, and the farmer had 2 as well. We were there for 6 weeks and cut maybe 10 days (and they weren’t even half days) had some snow as well, and lows were down in the 40’s most of the time.
A couple of years ago I was harvesting in the massey 760. I had a ticking noise coming from the drum/concave. I stopped at the end and had a look. One of the filler plates was worn thru and seemed to be the issue. I continued on a then had a hell of a wallop and banging. It takes a while for a drum rotor to stop turning. Had a look and what a mess. A rasp bar was broken. The ticking we worked out was a centre bolt breaking (the nut and broken bolt was still in place) and the bar was bowing out under rpm load. It broke at the bolt hole and the end simply wiped out everything it could touch. The accelerator paddles got flattened, the paddles for the straw exiting the drum got punched and holed. The concave took a pounding, wires damaged etc. Luckily it was end of one crop and had a couple of weeks before wheat and MF 860 finished my field. Took me 8 days on my own to repair the mess. Working in the bowels with wood and carpet on the straw walkers was no fun. Got it back to good as new. Spent a lot of time climbing up a ladder to get in and out of the back of the combine. Worst part was it was a new bolt that let go, only done less that 100hrs.
Brian, be careful. I heard that Kentucky Fried Chicken truck has been driving around looking for multiple legs, so heidem. Brother haha ha love your show
Great job Brown family, looks like ole Black Betty is gettin dialed in👌🏻pops always cracks me up when he says “boo-shels”🤣y’all take care and keep em comin
We run deer machines we use small wire concaves for wheat and sample has gotten way cleaner than using the round bar with filler plates. Might be easier to change than the Chaffer
I wish it were possible to run a header like that out in Oklahoma. We've got too many terraces where it just wouldn't fit (there was a really embarassing demo last year where the salesmen had to give up on showing off the full capacity of the combine they were trying to sell and run a smaller header due to the terraces).
Excellent Vlog, drone & music, talking/explaining stuff, nice pictures of the combine, dad cam is always nice, but hard do understand as a foreigner :D. Only think I missed is a BJ Cam for some minutes.
Dad just takes the new technology in stride and rolls with it. The 50 foot head sure can eat the acres in a hurry. Thinking back when your dad was a young lad, 6 and 7 foot pull-type combines and 8-12 foot self-propelled machines were the norm. But, they weren't pushing the acres and yields thru them like today.
We've got a 2023 Fendt 8 here in Indiana, went from a 22 to a 23 to get a higher augur to get over our grain cart, and they redesigned the air flow system and we had some super trashy Corn/Beans last year, couldn't clean up the samples in wetter corn, and even in beans. And would lose about half a mile per hour while unloading on the go. Had to harvest super slow speeds with a 45 foot draper, and a 12 row corn head. Have you guys heard anything from Agco/Fendt as per getting your combine's air flow system redone?
It would do you guys a lot of good to drag log chain from the frame of the new combine and help protect your new investment. When the static electricity is eliminated, the dust will fall off
Landon, those little tasks may seem unimportant to you but they important,somebody has to do and you learn them Most have to be done daily and it takes pressure of grownups. You will get to doing their tasks soon. Proud of you!
Didn't know wheat had a problem with vomitoxin. I drove semi hauling grain on a large grain farm near Greenfield, IN during 07and 08 harvest and would hate to say how many hours I sat in line waiting to get tested and passed for vomitoxin in corn. Lot of lost time!
Having more truck drivers available should really help out during corn harvest. It does look like the grain sample is not as clean as your former machine. Also, I was wondering if you have had time to calculate your fuel usage per acre compared to the Gleaner? Thanks for helping feed & fuel the Country!! Blessings
The settings are finicky in the fendt because you have corn/bean concaves in it when you need small wire for wheat with large wire in the back couple to get everything outta the rotors. Also you have corn bean sieves instead of small grain ones in it.
I have an idea. Teach Landon to drive grain cart. Teach his older brother to drive semi, have Dad and Uncle Brian float back and forth while ragging on the two brothers. Harvest 2024 is now set; good times!!
Sure gonna miss u saying "Power Ladder" lol Fendt needs to up its game and borrow the power ladder convenience from the Gleaner. For what a Fendt costs u would think they would give u more than an aluminum ladder from Home Depot. lol for what it's worth I hear Deere's X series ladders are even worse. Thanks for the great video. Your dad is awesome as always.
The first Bob Brown booshels of 2024! Love it!
You guys are the Best! Love the videos and Thank You Again from all of us at Copperhead AG and thank you for the opportunity to be part of your awesome Farm!
How much is a set ? $10,000??
Check out Ivor farm as well as semi farm RUclipsrs. Not to mention farming fixing fabricating.
@@robwar2288 Local Dealers can quote you depending on which Combine you have. I will tell you They Are Not $10,000, but a good chunk below that.
@@robwar2288 No, quite a bit less than $10,000. Our competitors are over $10K, but don't perform like Copperhead in different crops. One Concave, Multiple Crops.
@@idahofarmboy I will! Thankyou
Glad to see Bob in the video. The Fendt is a huge efficiency improvement over the two you had. It’s an amazing combine!!
Please explain to me how it is a huge efficiency improvement.
As a boy from KS. does my heart good to watch a combine pushing through wheat fields.
Bob did a excellent job on explaning what he's experianceing in the combine. I enjoyed seeing just how advanced farming is with modern equipment and semi-modern farmers. 😁
The Wheat crop looks flawless!
I Iike how y’all are straight and to the point.

Brain!
It is awesome seeing another generation get interested in working on the farm
You just have to love Farmer Bob. They don't make farmers like him today. Just amazing how he takes to technology.
Love the nice shots from the machines working. I am always amazed on how precise they work.
Thanks for another great video Brian.
It was interesting and informative and enjoyable to watch.

Mate you still alive haven’t had a video for ages!I mis you!from Anthony in New Zealand
Great video!! Thanks Brian! Love watching the new combine work and the drone footage was great too as usual.
Glad you enjoyed it
Combine is a beast! Glad you going to bins to keep cutting and not slow down!
Thank you, Dad, for your input. When I saw the 50’ head making its way across the field, I was impressed. I also agree with you that the wheels supporting the head height seems like a great design. Good video, Brian. It was funny when you were counting down the full combine vs. the grain cart.
All fronts have similar wheel design
The combine is a BEAST!
The insect in the coffee is extra protein for the day. So good to see you boys looking after your dad with the heat. ☺️

Great to see starting weat harvest whit some fine machines, wondering were Big Mike is, stay safe you all greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
What a machine love those done shots

"Old Farmer"? I'd call him a American Bad Ass Farmer who has alot of experience with a great blessed family! God Bless the Browns!
Glad you guys have a young guy interested in working!!
Amazing job of scattering the Straw!
Awe. Sorry to hear about the loss.
Finally saw a Fendt 9 up here in Ontario man it’s a beast👍

looks like a great combine
Lovin the Fendt setup, be great to see the Ideal munching up some corn!!

it is amazing the change in combines that your dad has experienced in his life time
Keep on rolling can’t wait for the drill to be running
Brian, be careful. I heard that Kentucky Fried Chicken truck has been driving around looking for multiple legs, so heidem. Brother haha ha love your show
Good to see your dad! Hoping George is doing well!
I feel like the tracks are definatly the right way to go, with that big ass grain tank. What a machine!
Best looking combine out there ! What a beauty....
Love the Bob cam! That Fendt is awesome!
Good luck with the harvest. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.
👋🏼
Nothing like spending $3/4 Million on a combine and having to change concaves the first day to clean up the grain sample,
Ya and putting the wrong ones in to boot.
Great job Brown family, looks like ole Black Betty is gettin dialed in👌🏻pops always cracks me up when he says “boo-shels”🤣y’all take care and keep em comin
I've been highly anticipating the Fender 9T review. You guys do a pretty good job of reviewing equipment. Cut to the Chase and give us the bottom line
2nd that ! also like to know why a ideal instead of Case, JD, or new holland ?
@@giligan6534 I was kind of hoping they would do the New Holland combine. But I know they're very loyal to Ohio Ag. equipment
Training mirrors on truck are cool!
Great video! Keep up the great work and videos coming!

Love the music with opening of combine!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights with us 😊
No problem 😊
I am amazed at how far the combine spreads the straw. It looks like it is almost covering the whole width of the head.
Dad just takes the new technology in stride and rolls with it. The 50 foot head sure can eat the acres in a hurry.

hopely a fix by bean harvest
Love the content. Good job Farming Brian
Thanks
Your best vidoe yet!
Just a good video. Thank you BFV!
Your dad saying booshels never gets old

Hello from Siesta Key Florida
Didn't know wheat had a problem with vomitoxin. I drove semi hauling grain on a large grain farm near Greenfield, IN during 07and 08 harvest and would hate to say how many hours I sat in line waiting to get tested and passed for vomitoxin in corn. Lot of lost time!
Like the way the Fendt wags it's tail.
Thats an awesome set up. Love the new Honeybee NXT Headers.
That Fendt is a beast
Great job. 50 ft. It's a lot of material going through there two and a half three and a half miles. An hour is pretty good for a 50 ft header
2 things, you are using every inch of that header and I would kill to be sitting with Mike Mitchell watching this video!!!! That machine is a BEAST.
Don't take it the wrong way, Mike had this combine under totally different conditions.
Bad ass can’t wait til you guys do corn.👍
Having more truck drivers available should really help out during corn harvest. It does look like the grain sample is not as clean as your former machine. Also, I was wondering if you have had time to calculate your fuel usage per acre compared to the Gleaner?
Thanks for helping feed & fuel the Country!! Blessings
Great content thanks for letting us tag along!
Any time!
Your Dad loves the machine!
Thanks 👍
Thank you for the videos
Real red tractor on the planter 🙄😎👌😍
The settings are finicky in the fendt because you have corn/bean concaves in it when you need small wire for wheat with large wire in the back couple to get everything outta the rotors. Also you have corn bean sieves instead of small grain ones in it.
Was that a sub-standard, off colored tractor I saw hooked to the planter? Did I miss something 🤔?
Noticed it as well. 👍🏻
You sod busters are going to do good w that new combine you got the best .
Pappy’s cranking out the booshels now!!! You guys miss the second combine yet?
Always a good video.
Hope you have all that trucking help during corn harvest.
Hi, good vid, but new combine with different concaves already ,I fought all that was sorted
heard some evalators are checking for deer droppings - if found in sample they reject the load
As a grain cart driver you have figured what the combine driver is thinking.
That’s some very nice wheat
Great video Brian
Thanks 👍
Glad to see the video of this new machine running. Sorry about the game.
that hunnybee header with the TRAINING WHEELS gunna be pretty sweet in the beans compaired to your old stuff right?? :)
Thanks for the video .😀
No problem 👍
I have an idea. Teach Landon to drive grain cart. Teach his older brother to drive semi, have Dad and Uncle Brian float back and forth while ragging on the two brothers. Harvest 2024 is now set; good times!!
50 foot blows my mind. Had a 3300 diesel with an 11 foot head . And it better be weed free and dry straw.
Brian thats a gigantic header compared to what my dad used in the 60s an early 70s
Sure gonna miss u saying "Power Ladder" lol Fendt needs to up its game and borrow the power ladder convenience from the Gleaner. For what a Fendt costs u would think they would give u more than an aluminum ladder from Home Depot. lol for what it's worth I hear Deere's X series ladders are even worse. Thanks for the great video. Your dad is awesome as always.
it has a power ladder. same a Gleaner.
Good stuff
HRW is not very common up here in Ontario...but is worth more for sure...do you guys primarily grow this?
Just asking, I guess the dust in and around the gearbox would be reduced if just dropping the straw versus chopping it?
Good video good to see y'all
Thanks for watching
Do you plant the wheat with the avatar?
Looks like you have a nice crop of Wheat. From what I"ve seen out in Montana Wheat isn"t doing so good. May be alittle short this year.
Nice 9s Massey
That’s a big combine.
