Hey guys just traded off one of mike mitchels poorly reviewed combines that I bought last year and took a new 10t with geringhoff 45 ft header. We want to do the same thing as last year all the pros and cons and breakdowns throughout the year. We run 7 new new Hollands and this new fendt. really liked that 9 and I hope this 10 is better yet. We’ll be starting harvest in the next few days and we’ll start posting some comments. One thing u Cant beat is 3 year bumper to bumper warranty with the option to add two more years full warranty. Jerry and the guys at kmk in humboult have been great so far and I hope this ideal is great. One thing is the 10t with tracks sits a little higher and more cleaning capacity then the 9’s witch I feel is actually more cleaning capacity then just horsepower like other models. 800 hp ready to put to the test this season.
Ideal 10t goods and bads vs ideal 9 and all problems during this harvest

I haven't stopped to look at the new model year ideals yet, have they done anything around the rotor gear box's and fuel tank to help keep that area clean? We found d with the 1500 liter tank that straw and chaff would build up in there really bad. You'd have to blow it out daily. Went to the 1250 liter tank and that almost eliminated the build up in that area.
What did they do in its place? I had a cr9090 on a ugly year and between the sheer bolts and stretching multiple sets of concaves so they would just fall out, I had enough.

It’s different than the ideal 9 I had. Not those grates up top that everything falls through

yesterday got to spend a solid 4 hours in it. Every time u run it u fall more in luv with it. Just so nice to run. i asked the guy if he wanted it back he said stop right now and we had a chat and we both agreed it’s hard to get back into the new Holland cab after running the fendt. I could say possibly my favourite combine to run out of any out there. The losses in barley are great, don’t know exactly would like to find some time to actually throw a board, but it’s definetly next to nothing in 100bpa barley and going 4.5+ mph. not over pushing it. The header makes a perfect combination for operated comfort

there are plenty of pics of the big new New Holland on the net. I imagine it must have a new cab and layout to compete

Ya I’m sure it will. well i hope it’s as good as it sounds. Every combine manufacturer should take a look at joystick steering. Nobody wants to follow a manufacturer that produced it first without adding differences, but once u try one there’s nothing more comfortable then it.

So my one comment about joystick steering is it can be bad on your upper body.
if you talk to any of the 50year olds that have run hoes or loaders all there lives they claim there shoulders are shoot from not moving enough.

I run lots of hoe and ran grader for few years with joystick steering. If u ran it day in day out ya maybe shoulders could get lazy and soar, but most farmers and employees get lots of workouts, combining is couple months out of year. I know it Makea it a heck more relaxinging and nicer not having to look at the steering wheel all day. Once u hit autosteer u can cross your legs and turn it into a office if wanted
all equipment makes you old especially those with seats where you sit all day. Look at all the hunched over grain farmers. It’s from sitting in a seat looking forward or forward and to the right. Get out and stretch a few times a day makes difference. I ran snowcats for many years. Bombardier had joysticks and piston bully had yolks. The PB was a nicer machine but joysticks are a superior way to work and have excellent leg room along with a better view.
mid get joysticks in a heartbeat.

Yes even though there’s autosteer u still have to look through a part of steering wheel or else sit over steering wheel of u don’t like the blocked veiw . People that turn it down without trying is like saying we’ll for the amount u use your auger u might as well have a manual lever by the seat like the 7720 John Deeres. I’m saying is that if it’s better, more leg room, comfort level is way higher we’ll why not

Really? Our Gleaners with the same cab have phenomenal lights. Is there different lighting packages?
