00:00:00 Hey guys, it's Temple Road from Extreme Act. We're here today. We are testing out the John Deere X nine. Um, it's got pretty cool features on it. 00:00:08 It's got a bunch of 'em on here, but one of 'em is the auto track turn. Basically, you come out on the ends, 00:00:13 you just pick up your head, you can slow down a little bit. It makes its turn. It'll either skip a row 00:00:18 or it'll turn right back on itself and go right back. I think that that's pretty cool. Um, I, I didn't know that it was gonna be 00:00:24 that smooth and that seamless. I've never seen anything like that, but it, in order to turn around on a 16 row head 00:00:30 with this combine, I mean, we just turned around at six mile an hour a minute ago and it went right back around on itself. 00:00:35 It's, it's pretty impressive. So we're coming up to the end of the row and we're actually coming up to the end of the row 00:00:41 with the woods on the other end. So we're getting ready to see what's gonna happen. Hopefully we don't wreck this thing, 00:00:45 but one of the cool features on this thing, you know, when we, we not only have auto turn when we turn around on the ends, but this thing has got 00:00:52 auto path at the end. What auto path is, is once you plant the, the corn with the planter 00:00:58 and then you, you put those lines in the operation center. Now you got auto path. 00:01:03 Now your combine your sprayer, everything's falling on that same track, it's going to figure out your most efficient pass that you can make. 00:01:11 Every time that you make a pass in field, it's figured all that out for you, and it's gonna make 00:01:17 that plan ahead of time for you. This is a 16 row corn head, so sometimes, like I do get, I got a 16 row corn head on my combine as well. 00:01:26 So sometimes like you don't judge it. Correct. Right. And you're off a row or you're, you know what I mean, or you're in too far one way or the other. 00:01:34 Well, this takes all that correction out 00:01:37.145 --> 00:01:38.485
