I watch Mitchells youtube channel.. really not sure what was going on with the plugging issues.. i mean running a 50ft head in 2bu wheat shouldnt plug even the smallest combine.. so why his fendts were plugging I have no idea. He was impressed with the capacity and sample from the fendts but obviously disappointed in the reliable. I will they they run hard,, not necessarily hard on the machines but they put more acres through a combine in a summer than many guys would in 5 yrs.. I do notice hes having issues with his JD's this year.. seat sensors, shearing bolts on the draper heads.. so nothing is perfect.
Maybe he puts on a lot of acres he is lacking in crop. Crop has a lot more wear than acres. At 10 bpa he would be having to put 12,000 acres through the combine to equal a farmer with 1,000 acres at 120 bpa. The higher the bushels the higher the wear inside the combine. At 2 bpa he had last year then he would have to run 60,000 acres through the combine to cut the same bushels. That is hard to justify new equipment at those volumes.
