The most entertaining comparison will be when Mike Mitchell gets to demo one against the Ideal combine. He gave a walk around comparison but that won’t be the same as one would get from him running it in the field. Maybe Deere doesn’t want them side by side in the field. More Claas combines sold in SW SK every year.

Judging by the neighbors across the road it only takes an evening for two X9 combines to take off a quarter of corn, cruising right along! I think they must be 16 row heads on there.
I had the urge to go hop in, but wouldn't want to be tempted to grow corn again...ha ha

The demo X9 was available to help combine the food grains quarter here a few weeks ago. I looked it over a bit, but didn't ride in it.
The guys that did ride in it were definitely impressed. It was standing canola and the straw was still it bit green. Apparently the X9 wasn't doing a great job of spreading the straw. Not surer if that was a setting problem or lack of capability. I've heard before that spreading tough straw is not its strong point.

^ ahhh, you ll be back to corn in no time!! No, watching the neighbors is enough for me right now. Turns out they only did half the field yesterday evening plus enough headlands I thought the quarter was done. Maybe the combine is actually fairly normal for productivity after all.  |
