Colorado Wheat Harvest 2024 with 12 Claas Lexion Combines

In this video I visit a farm near Byers Colorado as they are busy harvesting their 2024 winter wheat crop. This year the farm is running their 12 NEW Claas 7500 Lexion Combines with 40 foot wide Claas Convio draper heads. Also in the video the farm is running 3 Case IH 500 tractors all pulling Demco grain carts.

I've done videos here in the past and you can find those videos if you go back on my channel as two of those videos have over 1 million views a piece,

In this years video I have all of the action from morning to evening and part of the video was filmed in a 5000 acre field. Lots of drone footage and some on ground and I even did an in cab interview with one the the combine operators.

These long wheat harvesting videos are great Mike. I know it's a lot of work editing them. I do very much appreciate your time on them. Thanks 👍🏻 😊

Watching 12 Claas Lexion combines in action during the Colorado Wheat Harvest 2024 is nothing short of mesmerizing!

[michaeldrussel]

Holy moly, that is 3 times the combines most custom harvestors run.

Crazy having that many combines. Must be huge fields

I saw these on my way back to Indiana! Super cool to see you made a video on this operation!

[hansrauwoens]

Great video to watch Mike. I like to see more interviews with the farmers or the operators of tractors, combines etc. in future films. It was a good idea to do this in this video 👍

[DroneLife]

Some real nice shots in there, the size of that operation is very impressive!

[AhTechus]

Agriculture technology is increasingly modern, thanks for sharing your video

Love the Harvesting Videos. Hello from Western Australia where its winter time now. We don't get snow but seed in April and harvest starting mid November. Mainly wheat, Canola, barley and oats. Where I come from the district average is around 11 inches .

We had 250 acres of winter wheat which was big for us North of Goodland KS. So 7000 acres? Seriously! Wow! I’d love to see that! Thank you for the great video!

We were just going through their Thursday heading back to Texas. Very large areas with lots of windmills ! Great video

Looks like very arid country. Production looks like maybe 10 to 15 bushel per acre at the most. Very similair to western Montana where Welker Farms are. After the move of equipment that wheat there looks double of what the opening field was. That's what I enjoy about the west. The diversity is almost undescribable. I was born in Kansas and raised on farms out in Washington state.Owned a trucking company in Maine for 40 years and am now retired in upstate New York.Very good video thanks again Mike.

As always Mike, thanks for another impressive video.
That looks like Linneburs fleet of combines.
They like to cliip their wheat fairly high so that the remaining longer wheat stalks hold more snow for moisture.
As well, their wheat is dryland, non-irrigated, so I would think that they could 50 or 60 foot heads on those combines with acceptable ground speed.

It was a pleasure watching you! Greetings from Spain and Romania!

I will look for satellite images of those lands!

👍

Perfct Thanks Thanks videos longe Mike

[lfeco]

I can see why Kevin would enjoy doing this. It would be a blast.
A 2" rain at the right time would have sure made a difference to the crop.
