Oh, it's exhilarating. Tell them what we got on this. So normally when we're harvesting, our top speed's probably six miles an hour. And that's just because our header physically can't cut it fast enough.
it's starting to lay under the the cutter bar um and uh so this year we had the privilege to demo uh the 9260 case h9260 and a case ih af11 with a 50 foot fd250 macdon head and the header has 19 longer knives and redesigned guards and i didn't really think a lot of that but I pushed it up to 14 miles an hour and it was still cutting the crop with pretty even stubble behind.

And so we averaged about 11 miles an hour with that combine, about 55 to 60 acres per hour, burning less fuel than our other combines per acre. And it was quite remarkable. And I didn't break one guard on that entire header that entire time. And the other headers we have, which are draper heads, 45 foot,

MacDon design, case branded, and they, I mean, we're constantly out there changing guards, changing sections, but that new header, flex head. I'll tell you, it was like Speedy Gonzalez out there. Just dust cloud, just dust rolling off the combine.

It's pretty amazing. But I mean, that combine was outcutting our two class eight, 45 foot combines by itself. It literally over doubled our capacity.

You had to go 11 miles an hour to keep the sieves loaded. It has a gauge that says... with pressure sensor that says, you know, here's where you need to try to keep it to keep the sieves loaded properly. And about 10 to 11 mile an hour is where we had to keep it.
