rice farming TV just had an episode about CLAAS and discussed how when transitioning to the USA there was a color change so the shock wouldn't be too great LOL. They thought the rice harvesting CLAAS was excellent
I watch videos like these, and it brings back a lot of memories of old friends who I would join, during harvest. One who was especially close, had a John Deere 4400, back in 1978. He is part of the reason I like combines so much. But these days, I don't get much access to them, if any at all. Makes me wish I can somehow jump back in, and maybe even gain the privilege of owning and operating one.
I got to run a claas once. I can say, in this damn mud, the things keep on driving straight. No more fighting the wheel trying to keep your rows straight.
I love the 760 Lexion. I ran 1 for 2 seasons here in the CA rice harvest. That machine can't be beat for its throughput, and also the fact that you can see what is going through the return elevator from the cab. With almost all separator functions being able to be changed on the fly. Plus the fact you can take small grain samples going into the bin on the fly. You simply can't beat the separator adjustments. Enough said.

Thanks.... You have some nice weather for a change. People don't realize just what it takes to feed the nation and world. The AG engineers are watching this to see what they can do to make their combines better than the competition.
@@davidharms the biggest hopper that claas is using on the newer combines can hold up to 18 900 liters of grain the older ones from the 700 series can hold 12 000- 15 000 liters.
To the OP....you have a real smart channel. You take different machines and put them through real world situations. To me that is way better than any brochure, salesman, or manufactures' video. I like your commentary on the pros and cons of the different machines. It actually is very informative. I have bought machinery that it felt like I was operating an alien spaceship. I've also had machinery that fell very short of expectations. I hope the dealers realize what a resource they have with you. It probably wouldn't work to well for your situation and of course you are in an exclusive area (in relation to the whole country) but do some commentary on critical aspects of the dealers follow up service. Choosing a machine can be as important as choosing a dealer. Thanks for your efforts
Those Class machines are absolutely amazing in small grains. They will pretty much walk all over anything in the same hp class in crops like canola due to the immense sieve area. And the ability to adjust thrashing and separation independently. Something single rotors struggle with. Only downfall is they are a hard sell to guys that are used to single rotor machines because they seem so complex.
The claas combines are by far by favorite, I've ran them all; Deere, Case, and New Holland. I've never harvested corn, just small grains and in my experience they definitely have the greatest capacity and throughput. Got to run one of the new Claas Lexion 8800's this year, what a beast!
When I was driving buses with a built-in computer, we were advised (if everything started to get complicated) to turn off the main power and wait for 10 seconds, then turn on the main switch again then it started working again.
And to think the last time I drove a Claas, a Senator, the largest table (header) at the time. We didn't combine maize just precision cut for silage. Good these computers… just remember aircraft pilots have to reboot them during flights too !! Thanks for your efforts. Hope the rest of your harvest goes well.
We went from JD to Claas, for us it was the right move. Great high performance machine once you get to know what they can do there isn’t a combine out there that can keep up to it’s capacity and minimal loss in good to extreme conditions.
I just combined corn all day. Then i came in and watched this video......about combining. ... I might have a problem..:) Greetings from souther Ontario.

Rice Farming TV was using a Klaas Lexion in their Fall 2019 rice harvest. It performed well and was very impressive but it did not have the Caterpillar engine.
I really like your sense of humor, Zach!! Great video, the one thing I would have a problem with, and I have seen it on Brian Brown's video's is that windshield wiper motor would drive me to distraction!
i Live in danmark and and i think 40% of the farmers over here runs a Claas combiner. i run a claas 760TT on that farm im working on rly great combiner.
The 780s with the Mercedes engine, what a awesome machine. Some times we could go 2 long days on a tank of fuel. And combined wheat in the snow with 1% loss
Thanks Zach for telling us your bushels per acre when everyone else acts like it’s a big secret! That’s something to be proud of actually y’all could get in a contest for who could make the best corn!!! Again thanks for sharing!!
Your videos are helpful especially for a first time farmer like myself, this summer I might get to run a combine for the first time along with a swather, I started after harvest last summer and ran a hay rake day and night but I’m excited nonetheless
It sure does suck when you're used to one brand and then switch to a different make. All the little quirks of a different machine tests one's patience. At least you survived and didn't completely roast the main computer.
You got to love that caterpillar no doubt about it man that's a ,-looking machine and it looks like it could really go through some corn once everything's set up right y'all have a good one Zack👍👍👍👍👊👊
well... its also a bit older then the newer combines, soo its bound to have a few quirks to get used to, its quite a bit different system with the Twin Rotors vs the single rotor of the JD if I remember right

The unload auger sits further forwards on the new Lexions, so you dont have to lean forward anymore 👍
And the bin is even bigger ub to 600 or 700 bushels also the new corn header is also a bit better.

👍 Mr. Millennial,
You really put out a great channel,
Showing the misconception, and misinformation..
About farming .
That is one good looking machine and Cat engines are very dependable even after the government screwed up things.
When you are use to one type of a 'machine' and switch over there is always a bit of learning etc. Nice to see the different equipment being used.

When I was getting close to full on my 9500 I would engage the unload auger and get a little into the auger so I wouldn’t end up with cab corn.
That gets hard on the unload system...
don stefanik you would leave 30% corn in the auger? Lol that’s hard on equipment
I would be unloading it in the wagon not leave it in the auger driving around. Most times our corn would be between 28 down to 22%.
There was lots of times the auger was left full when you couldn’t get everything into the wagon.
Did this on all our combines 95, 6600,7720,9500. Never had any problems.
