This brings back some memories of my childhood. In the late 80's my parents would send me and my sister to stay with my grandpa in Kenneth Mo part of the summer. Can always tell when cotton picking season was started. You would see loose cotton blowing in the wind and would also see the cotton carts going through town on the way to the gin. My dad was a Marine recruiter in the bootheel region on Missouri out of Sikeston Mo in the late 80's. As a child it was a culture shock coming from a beach town in Southern California to the farm lands of Missouri. But as a adult I relocated to Kansas City Mo and learned to love the midwest. Sorry about rambling on. Love the channel.
This machine works so fast it's incredible...the price for it is also incredible. I can see how a farmer, or a harvester would probably never pay off the loan on it. Great video. John Deer rocks!
Why? The bale module weighs 4,000 to 5,000 pounds. Raw cotton was selling for .50 a pound that's a minimum of $200 a bale. The cotton picker break even cost is 2,500 bales.
bigtractorpower If your ever down this way look me up and I'll get you a tour of a gin. They will be cranking up all over down here shortly. love the channel.
thanks for the video, its harvest time and while on the hwy my 7 yr old son and i were talking about the fields and how the machines pick the cotton... we looked on youtube and found this. we both learned alot so again thank you
bigtractorpower, thanks for posting this on the baler pickers. I missed out on getting to be around these pickers since my leg amputation in 2012. I worked around the gins from 1978 - 1994. I worked my way up from a moat man to Assistant Ginner over the years. In case anyone gets to wondering; the pink bale & module cover shows support of breast cancer.
4 gauge, That is so false. I know hundreds of farmers who use Monsanto and still have not got cancer. GMOs are the only way to feed the 6 billion ppl in this world when farm acres are being destroyed to build new “condos” and whatever else them city folk like.
That cotton beller is impressive. I've never seen these close-up views of a cotton bell being made before. I just always see the bells in fillds as I drive by. And that tractor with the bell spears on the back looks downright medieval! Can I affix those bell spears to the back of my pickup to prevent tailgaters? Pretty cool stuff!
Way different than the ones I used to run on I was a kid on some of the cotton farms in Arizona and Californiaback then they were three wheeler type with a basket we had to dump into a module maker this machine looks more efficient and time-saving
I grew up in southwest Georgia and these cotton harvesters have become very popular down there over the last several years. Quite expensive machines but I think they will pay for themselves in a few years. Now the CP690 is on the market.
2:30 It is then taken to the gin where it is processed to remove seed and made ready for transporting to manufacturers. It is not made into clothing at the gin.
I got to work in the cotton fields years ago. I would like to have a dollar for every pound of cotton I tromped in a cotton trailer. The only good thing that came out of it is that it helped strengthen my legs for high school athletics, but I do not miss tromping cotton.
There are lights galore! In the fall on the Texas Plains I can see the lights for miles. They run late into the nights...sometimes until sunrise to be serviced!
In theory, the module express machine makes sense. In practicality, its a far worse design. With having to stop to pack and unload, having a special device to relocate modules and their poor weather proofing, the round bale design is far superior.
Always wondered why Levi or Wrangler wouldn't jump on the band wagon and by the rights to put their advertising on the wrapping. Or maybe have the cotton logo on them. Be great advertising for them. It would also look pretty cool when you see these bales from the highway.
I'm old enough that I've seen it. I was, when I was much younger, stupid enough to try it. The black field boss told my uncle they'd all quit if he let me come back out in that field. I almost killed myself, but I learned a lot of respect for those who could do it.
it's good that they invented these machines.back in the 50's when it was hand picked the best I could do was about 150 or 160#.lol.$3 per 100# big money.
Pretty neat looking setup. Amazing to see the machine go non-stop. Does the operator push any buttons or levers in the baling process or does the machine do it on it's own? Stay safe.
bigtractorpower Cotton grows in Va, NC, SC, Ga, Al, MS, La, Ak, a little bit of Tennessee, Texas, little bit of Oklahoma, and a little bit of Missouri.
Cotton is very regional here in the U.S. it was fun to see the cotton harvested. This was filmed about 4 hours from my home area and well worth the trip. Thank you for watching.
I understand that cotton growing is very regional but the regions seem so varied: Bootheel Mo, SW Georgia, Central NC. What determines where it is suitable to be grown? is it a specific soil type or is it simply the presence of the infrastructure such as a gin?
It's also in Oklahoma right now. The main factor seems to be having enough land planted (or contracts for custom work to make it worth owning) to justify owning the equipment or the availability of people with the appropriate equipment to do the custom cutting.
It basically is an economic decision as what a farmer can get for a crop based on what it costs to grow. When I was growing up in the 50's and 60's a lot of cotton was grown in northwestern Louisiana and over to around and south of Dallas, TX. It got to where farmers could make more income from soybeans and other crops and stopped growing cotton. Cotton is still grown in northeast Louisiana from Monroe over to the Mississippi River and on up into Arkansas. The panhandle of Texas is big cotton country now.
@@Penfold8 even though these round bales are still called 'bales', when referring to bales as a unit of measurement in terms of cotton pricing we are only talking about bales of lint (pure lint with seed removed after ginning process). 1 bale of pure lint is 227kg (500 pounds) and in Australia you generally expect a lint yield from raw cotton (Cotton pre-ginning including seed and trash) to be about 40-45% of total weight. In Australia prices range from $300-$600 AUD per bale.
No. The picker has metal spindles that collect and pull the cotton bolls from the plant. The material left of is lint that cannot not be used in clothing.
FIRE 🔥 - yes- my son works for Morgan Marine- selvaging - picking apart what he said was a new cotton picking Machine up in GA. I thought it was a antique machine looking at pictures was such a mess. Yes they catch on FIRE 🔥
back in cash,ark cotton has been gone for many years.the cotton gins have been torn down and long gone years ago.mostly rice and soybeans and a lil corn and hay.
Mike Bonge the height that you see it at is in harvest mode. When they are being transported from field to field, they are condensed into transport mode, which makes it a bit smaller in height.
Very few anymore if any. Ranches don't have rail service for cattle pens as cattle are trucked to regional processing plants now and the packages are distributed by refrigerated trucks either cold or frozen.
great video👍 These machines are €800'000 on farming sim19. But u won't be long making your money back depending on the prices at the spinnery. Good investment.
We us a JD CS690. They cost about $680,000. Our bales this year averaged 4700-5700 lbs @ 27-34% lint. The irrigated made 3 bales and dryland made 1 3/4 bales. Here is a link to where some of this area's cotton is ginned. ruclips.net/video/geX8ItkJD9o/видео.html Most around here use 8 row 30" On the South Plains some use 10 rows, 2 in and one out or 5 pairs. That is 37.5 ft.
No hard time here, just curious relating to market cost per JD round bale. Is my math wrong? Internet cotton bale stats say a standard bale is 500 pounds. This video says each round JD picker bale is about 4000 pounds and 3.5 to 4 market bales are in each round bale. Question: if one round bale is 4000 pounds, at 4 bales per round bale, each market bale would weigh 1000 pounds, not 500. But, at 500 pounds per bale there actually would be 8 market bales in a round bale. I'd like to figure this out to determine selling price per JD picker round bale. Thank you.
+Jack Sak I am not sure. I am not very familiar with cotton. This farm is owned by a friend of me about 4 hours south west of where I live. I rode in the cab with him and got the details. Then I had to remember them and narrate them as I filmed in the field. I think I got what he told me right. Other than the term should be module rather than bale. Narrating in the field was not easy. Now I wait and record on my computer. This helps get the facts right.
Bigtractorpower, thank you for your excellent videos and reply. I just began watching and grew up on a northern New England dairy farm with a substantial lumber mill in the mid-1940s onward. Your videos remind me of our farm which is still there but only for haying. My grandfather had a big diesel one cylinder John Deere with iron drive wheels, metal cleats, for wet Spring work and with more manual levers than I thought possible for one machine. One more thing about your videos, there's nothing more pleasing than seeing a tractor in a field against a tree-line doing work on a green Summer day. You show that in many of your shots. (Love that diesel!)
The difference is a bale of ginned cotton is about 480-500 pounds. A bale of seed cotton out of the field is closer to maybe 1200-1400 pounds of seed cotton. That field looks to be 2-2.5 bale per acre cotton. Nice crop.
No there like an elevator that removes the seed and hulls off the cotton if there is any. They will also sell the seed back to the farmers after they get the seed out of the cotton

Really nice video ,glad you explained about the cotton left after the harvester ,allways wonderd about that .
As a correction, the gin only removes the seed and cleans the fiber. John

Great to see cotton picking machinery . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Now I see where all the Apple software is in those things. Thank you.
Big ass machines giving big ass colourful eggs!
Very interesting process, I'd like to see a comparison with the module express that packs half modules without any wrap!
In theory, the module express machine makes sense. In practicality, its a far worse design. With having to stop to pack and unload, having a special device to relocate modules and their poor weather proofing, the round bale design is far superior.
Always wondered why Levi or Wrangler wouldn't jump on the band wagon and by the rights to put their advertising on the wrapping. Or maybe have the cotton logo on them. Be great advertising for them. It would also look pretty cool when you see these bales from the highway.
Astonishing to think that this all used to be picked by hand.
I'm old enough that I've seen it. I was, when I was much younger, stupid enough to try it. The black field boss told my uncle they'd all quit if he let me come back out in that field. I almost killed myself, but I learned a lot of respect for those who could do it.

@@himanshulambatpatil5966 I have cotton farm labour problem is too much but still picking at 8rs per kg
Looks like a cross between a garbage truck and a regular combine from viewing the side profile of these machines.
it's good that they invented these machines.back in the 50's when it was hand picked the best I could do was about 150 or 160#.lol.$3 per 100# big money.
that's why a lot of people moved up north to make a living of about $ 80.00/week back in the 1950's.
Aleast you got paid
I just watched your other video of the IH brand and the difference between the dump cart and press. The John Deere system looks to be more efficient.
I was wondering about that this one does drop the bale in the crop tho?
@@warrenholmar1129 It drops in the leftover stubble. Then another machine grabs it for transport.
This is a awesome video very very informative thank you Jason
Love watching the cotton pickers
This cotton pickin thing is amazing.
Looks like a big vacuum cleaner lol, awesome video.
The cotton gin removes the seed from the cotton, the mill processes the cotton into products not the gin....

Generally, how much does a bail like this get you in today's market (2019)?
I did some research and a bail like this will roughly give you about $380 depending on the market price per lb of cotton.
Penfold8 , you might want to do a little more research.
Okay, how many pounds per acre are harvested.
@@leebob86 he already mentioned it in the video its around 1500lbs of cotton/acre 5:30

Geez, these things are over 500 horsepower!? I didn't know they were as powerful as a large tractor, but I guess it makes sense
Many harvesters use the same engines as the big 4wds. Processing requires horse power.
Looks like the way they harvest cotton in Ca
What about the unripened/ unflowered cotton fruitball, Doesn't it struck in machine spindle and cause damage??
No. The picker has metal spindles that collect and pull the cotton bolls from the plant. The material left of is lint that cannot not be used in clothing.

Do they have trouble with bridges? It looks really tall . They drive from field to field I assume
They run down the road just fine. The header is 20ft wide it could be tight on a bridge but they make it through most places.
Mike Bonge the height that you see it at is in harvest mode. When they are being transported from field to field, they are condensed into transport mode, which makes it a bit smaller in height.

A "market" bale is lint cotton without seed/leaf/trash. The round is raw cotton that has almost 4 bales inside it (and also seed,ect.)
Jack, they run several modules together to balance out the 500 lb bales
The difference is a bale of ginned cotton is about 480-500 pounds. A bale of seed cotton out of the field is closer to maybe 1200-1400 pounds of seed cotton. That field looks to be 2-2.5 bale per acre cotton. Nice crop.
Thanks.

How much fuel does it use per hour?
How many pounds will gin out of a bale

Are the gins farmer owned, or is it like a grain farmer taking grain to an elevator?
Some gins are farmer owned, most aren't.
The gin would be like going to the elevator.
No there like an elevator that removes the seed and hulls off the cotton if there is any. They will also sell the seed back to the farmers after they get the seed out of the cotton
are any of the seeds sent to an "OIL MILL" to be processed?
@@jaketaylor8467 I think most of the seeds are sent for oil or feed.
What % of cotton is left on the plant?
What you see left behind is lint that can not be used.

The cost of recovering the small amount of "Lint" that is left behind would not make it economically viable as a feed for goats,etc.
