custom combine rates ?

[silverback]

Yeah, I know the math, I am talking real world 50 - 70 bu wheat, 5 ft tall. 50 - 60 bushel canola, 5 ft tall, barley? maybe?

What combine will do 18 acres/ hour in these conditions? 9120? CR9090? 9870? 590?

They won't do that in this area unless you want to send it all out the back.

I don't have a 1460, bto. Try aagain!

[gregpet]

Our 8120's can do about that or a little better.

[silverback]

Come on. Really? 18 - 20 Acres an hour! In a 50 bushel canola crop?

Wow, gotta get rid of these green conventionals then.

That would be one of The Best Business Decisions yous ever made Silver. With A Conventional Combine yous only get one shot at thrashing that Grain. 30ft X 2.5 mph/8.25 = 9.09 Acres per hour. Seems right with onea them Pieces................

[BTOfarmallll]

Silv, fergot to ask. Where yous grwoing crops like that anyway????? Thought only The RRV grows crops like that.................

[Hopperbin]

Gregpet are you up to 6 to 7 miles per hour in a 50 bushel crop 30 foot swath. The IH should do that, you likely have a bigger swather so can slow down. Adding a grain cart would put the acres per hour for one combine at in the high twentys.

Otherwise you might want to get the 90 year old grandma off the combine.

East of Calgary, a little south of the one.

We got some big crops around here this year. Still green though. Some of the big boys have some very big crops out there.

20 acres an hour is a pipe dream on this farm.

36' swaths or 35' straight cut. 70-80 bu winter wheat averaged 19 ac/hour with a cart.
