00:00:00 Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag coming to you from Chad Henderson's Field Day in Madison, Alabama. We're here with Jeff Markham, product specialist 00:00:08 for honeybee and Garrett landed cattle stead farm operator all around superstar Richie Molo. 00:00:14 We're standing here by the honeybee head. We run two of these heads at home. We think they're a great option, especially in our wheat. 00:00:22 Uh, Richie, what do you like about this head relative to the other heads? We brought, Uh, actually the feeder house gap in the front 00:00:28 of the combine are on our hillco with a regular head. It narrows it up. This here, it keeps it nice and wide. You go through a side hill 00:00:34 or anything, it just leaves that feeder house wide open. More product can go through 00:00:39 The capacity's more so it increases your productivity. Yeah. And then, uh, two years ago, I think you and I were in the same field running. 00:00:46 I could go just a little bit faster 'cause you know, the, the honeybee head had a bigger gap in there. 00:00:51 You were having trouble, which pretty frequently you struggle. I do. You're right. Yeah. 00:00:57 So the productivity of this head, uh, really helped us out, especially in wheat harvest. Uh, Jeff, what, can you tell us more about this head? 00:01:05 Yeah, so this is our Air Flex, uh, platform. It's a full flex cutter bar. It's got nine inches of flex across 00:01:12 the width of the cutter bar. Uh, we use a mechanical drive, mechanical drive. You'll see it takes less horsepower to drive it. 00:01:20 And I think that's where we also see some ground speed improvement between the feeding and less horsepower to drive it. 00:01:25 We adjust the ground pressure when we're cutting bees. We use the airbags down here, the bottom of the head, instead of hydraulic pressure, 00:01:32 makes the header overall lighter and you can adjust that from the cab on the go. I was initially nervous about that, 00:01:39 about the airbags relative to the hydraulic downforce or flexibility that we've always, uh, been accustomed to. But the, the air, the air pressure system really works. 00:01:49 Nice. I'm, I'm happy with It. Just a flip of a switch is all it is. Yeah. In your case where you're cutting wheat with it, 00:01:55 if you were to go to beans after that, uh, like you said, it's a flip up a switch. There's no mechanical lockouts you have to do on the header. 00:02:01 Like some of our headers, you just drop the air pressure and the knife will drop down into flex mode. 00:02:07 If you'd like to talk To Jeff Moore about the honeybee headers, there'll be a My Field day in Dow City, 00:02:12.785 --> 00:02:13.945
