This is a YouTube video titled "Unleashing the Power of the John Deere S7 Combine!" containing a detailed monologue or presentation about the farming operations at Kalber GBR in Wittenmoor, focusing on the use and performance of the John Deere S7 combine harvester and its cutting platform. The speaker discusses technical aspects of threshing, germination capacity, and machine efficiency, highlighting the advantages of the rotor combine and the S7 model. The content is informative and technical, aimed at showcasing agricultural machinery performance.
We're here at the Kalber GBR farming group. We are in Wittenmoor, about 20 kilometers southwest of Stendhal. This is one of three sites we cultivate in the Altmark. As a business, we focus on root crops. Altogether, we have a threshing area of more than 1,000 hectares, predominantly involving seed propagation. We drive A John Deere S790 with XA cutting platform, which which we also use when sowing. Regarding germination capacity, the grain quality level is only determined later in the lab when the samples are germinated. In the case of kernels with micro fishers, the stain gets into the corn and inhibits its germination capacity. Under the same threshing conditions, we achieved a 1.5 to 2 percentage point better germination capacity using a rotor combine compared to a hybrid. That's why we focus on rotor combine. We intentionally threshed problematic parts of this field with the democombine. And the cutting platform made a very good impression in terms of ground contour. We deliberately drove at normal threshing speed, not at a reduced threshing speed over the bumps. And compared to our normal XA cutting platform, we had no soil or anything else get into the cutting platform. Despite all the ears being collected, the Draper cutting platform feeds more smoothly. With its engine load preset by the operator, the machine can operate continuously to catch these last few percent. In any case, this constitutes significant added value in terms of capacity and most of all, crop flow in the combine. The crop flow is nearly perfect for the machine. The machine runs more quietly. As a result, we even run at greater capacity. The chopper is loaded more evenly, meaning we can work with full load even when the straw is damp, without running the risk of a blockage. The S7, which we were able to test out today, is very easy to operate. This means we can increase productivity by a few percent, and I'm really pleased with that. The combine has made a great first impression.
