You might be the first person I’ve ever heard say they liked Case’s height sensors haha. After owning a jd 612, Geringhoff North Star, and a 4412 over the years. We traded for a Capello this year and absolutely love the head. Super simple design. Try one if you ever get the chance!!
Ti should have clarified ...case sensor arm ...the deer will snag junk - the case arm hung by a chain and was suppier...the case reaction time sucked though ...we don't have any dealers in the area for other corn head brands
It's definitely slower! .... 6 works well for our ground - but all you do is turn and turn, plus you loose dual wheels ...... the 12 was awesome for productivity - but the rough areas it struggled some to follow ground contours.... plus with a 12 it's either 12 row planter (to narrow) or a 24 (to big) ..... so I think I'm going to have to just be happy with 16 row planter and a 8 corn head ......
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling Yeah the planter matching up is always a concern. It can be done with a 16row planter and a 12row corn head but it's a pain.
That would be a really idea setup though! ... possibly the new autopath by JD would be accurate enough to do it - not sure ..... 8 row is still slow, but sure a lot faster than a 6

Great video! How is that new series head treating you, I’ve heard that some of these new heads are having some issues, some not either. Yours looks like it is doing a good job.
Thanks very much .... there are some maditory pips from deere to be done on it at the end of the season...but nothing big ...overall quite happy with it
Say what ever happened to that fendt 1050. ?
Lease over ... it went to a new home in nw iowa.... we didn't need it anymore ...
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling oh okay. Thanks.

You need a California duster from bomgaars for the windows. Takes 1/8 the time as using window cleaner
I've heard that ...
I'll do it for $50,000 a year plus meals LOL have a great day keep farming that's what we love
That's a good offer! ... hope all is well ... I'll have to shoot you a message on messenger
Wow. Beautiful harvest weather. cheers
It's been super nice ... upper 70s all week ... great to hear from you!
Still looks better than most roads here in Michigan.
That's sad ... no reason for our roads to be this bad
@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling when you have one supervisor for every two employees I would say there a little top heavy.
@@StarrMan1961 thats ridiculous ..and where all the money goes ..
How you like the switch from 12 row back to 8row corn head?
