Two John Deere X9 1100 Combines with 16 Row Corn heads Harvesting a 640 Acre Field in Illinois

In this video I am out in a 640 acre corn field near Danville Illinois. This farm is running their two John Deere X9 1100 combines with 16 row folding corn heads. They are also running 3 different tractors and grain cars to keep things moving. They were also running 10 semi trucks and grain trailers hauling the corn from the field to their farm grain storage.

Equipment in the video.

The guys running those combines are a well practiced team. Cart drivers also love watching a good team. Working together

What an impressive sight! Two John Deere X9 1100 combines working together on a 640-acre field in Illinois is nothing short of a high-tech ballet performance! Watching the corn rows being neatly harvested, I can only exclaim: 'This is the dance of the harvest season.' With each pass collecting 16 rows of corn, these machines are like the giant 'reapers' of the 21st century. Who needs to remember the days of plowing with oxen when we have these green giants in the fields? 👩‍🌾🚜🌽

Simply Amazing. I can remember my dad pulling a 2 row picker with an Intermational Super H tractor with a trailing wagon picking ear corn for shelling later. Then, in the late 1950's he bought an IH Combine with a 4 row corn header and an 8 ft wheat/soybean header. Combines of that day didn't have a climate controlled cab. He would have to button up his long sleeve work shirt, wear a bandana over his mouth and nose to avoid breathing "most" of the dust. You can't imagin just how dirty he would be at the end of the day.

No semi's No grain carts, no grain bin storage, haul it all to the elevator with a 1951 Dodge truck with a 10ft grain bed. Old times were truly different. 😎

Absolutely excellent video, very refreshing that you don’t talk or narrate the video, rather you let the equipment speak for itself.

Takes a well-coordinated effort between the combine and cart operators...and a huge fleet of trucks to keep it all moving. For the volume of grain moving out of the combines and carts, definitely need to be on-target!!! Even with our 40 yr old machine, need to keep a close eye out when unloading into a parked wagon!!!

Mike my friend absolutely 💯 amazing 👏 u done it again capturing our big class 11 X9-1100 combine harvesting corn wit our JD-14X 13.6 liter power tech pss 830's diesel engine wit twin vgt wastegate turbo chargers rated at 690hp to 743hp max at 1, 900 rpm's most farmers have turned there combines horsepower back up to stock horsepower of 690hp to 743hp on our X9-1100's in stead what we at deere had them at for 2023 603hp to 690hp that's were the problem comes in at a bunch of our customers are complaining about the lost in horsepower cause there dumping on the go there kilowat meter would be in the red!!!

Poetry in motion. Again American workers show how we get more done with less. Great video and great harvest.

[scottpykare]

That is one huge field. They definitely need 3 grain carts and a lot of trucks to keep 2 X9's with 16 row heads moving.

[aganstyu]

that 8R with them wide tires sure looks nice

[jeffreyhoover]

Mike this was a really good video
I can't imagine harvesting 16 rows of corn at one time .
Not mention in a field that is one mile long that is amazing .
I would love to have a ride in these new combines they have today .
Just to imagine how much technology goes into one of those combines and to handle that much corn at one time is just amazing .
Thanks again Mike for all the work you put into your videos .
I never get tired of watching them
God bless and keep up the good work

[joelg]

That is one efficient team! Bet they knocked that out fast. Impressed with how fast those X9s unload too. Great video Mike!

[wayneroland]

That farm must own a lot of land. Have all that equipment. They know what they are doing harvesting.

[FarmHarvestHaven]

This video beautifully captures the scale and precision of modern agriculture at its finest.

[justincase]

Good video Mike! Beautiful section of land. No fuel truck and no service truck. It was magical and worth another view!

[mikebutcher]

Watching them open a field is quite different than when my grandfather did it walking between 2 rows followed by a team of horses and picking and shucking then tossing the ears into the wagon the horses pulled.

[Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Great video Mike, those guys can sure cover ground. Those guys are about 2 hours south west of our farm.

[Bowhuntersgoxzx]

Two full grain carts at the same time @ 1:35, its hard to beat that unless its doing it on the fly in formation @ 22:35 ! Awesome harvest video Mike ! You do them the best !

Turning an old playground into a heavy machinery adventure park was so yesterday. Today, we're turning it into an agriculture machine wonderland. Let's plow through!
