We have a very special guest on the farm this week. Ernest Doe kindly brought down the brand new New Holland CR11, billed as the biggest and most powerful combine in the world, along with a 45 foot MacDon header, for us to put through its paces. In this episode James, Kieran and Sandy all take a turn at the wheel, and we get a proper technical walkthrough of what makes this machine and its radar controlled residue management so different, and how it stacks up against our fleet of Claas Lexions. There is talk too of the 61 foot header to come, and what a step up like that would really mean. For a bit of fun we also line all five combines up in the field together, with the New Holland flanked by our four Claas machines. Away from the demo, the wheat keeps coming in, with the early drilled crops holding up well in the drought, and we get an update on the BBM accommodation trailer conversion taking shape. There is progress on the house too, and preparations to move the whole operation up to Lincolnshire. From the world's biggest combine to five machines in one field, this is another look behind the scenes of a modern farming business.

That drone view with the CR.11 spearhead, flanked by four Claas combines and chasers was a sight to see 👏🏻
What a fantastic scene of the 5 combines and following chaser bins.if you are getting some pictures printed up id definitely buy one.what tonnage an hour where you getting from the cr11.heard stories about them peaking around 136 tons an hour which is mind blowing.another great episode thank you
Fabulous cinematography Tom, your best yet, brilliant job.
excellent video ---- loved the 5 combine drone footage ----- how harvest has changed during my lifetime ---- my first combine when we left the binders behind was a massey 735 with a massive 6 foot header that could clear up several acres per day ---- the man on the bagger had a hard life in the dust ---- then the sacks had to be lifted by hand from the ground
In yout trailer for staff, as you have a kitchen on board, make sure you equip the whole trailer with a fire alarm system! Not just stick-on smoke detectors 😊
claas will have to make a new big combine, othervise james will become a new holland fan😆
Amazing drone footage of all 5 combines and chasers bins. 👍
Your CR.11 man certainly knew his stuff, very impressive. Great video today.
Excellent teamwork. Big New Holland very impressive. Must be worth considering!
Great video James, The CR11 is a fantastic machine, I put the New Holland up there with the Claas 8900,cheers.
One of the best farming scenes ever with 5 combines at work in formation with 4 chaser bins behind , dust flying. Will we be seeing yellow paint next season?
That is some set up you've got fair play
Great update as always James. Cheers for now 👍
Always good to keep them on their toes , maybe a new tractor demo soon too 🤔😉
Saw Coxalls yesterday with the fendt combine with no steering wheel. You should try that too. Great video today.
some great drone footage, would be great to see the team on the move in convoy ??
Had to go to Peterborough today and passed a herd of PX lorries near Grantham 👍🍺
James, Just a thought regarding your accommodation semi-trailer. Might it not be worthwhile doing away with the washroom at the end – and making each of the bedrooms rooms slightly longer to make them en-suite – since I fear with the current design – you will have a never ending queue outside the washroom.
8:05 I've watched a few American harvesting outfits or convoys in the hot dry states and don't believe I've heard them mention wearing out the skid plates underneath and they did everything from wheat to lentils. Is this an issue specifically with a Claas model and that they're a type of plastic?
Reckon some MacDon headers inbound to PX...
