00:00:00 Hey guys, lane miles here. Uh, the last few days have been kind of a exciting day here at Miles Farms. 00:00:07 Uh, we've gotten to experiment some with the X nine. It's went around McGee a little bit to a couple different farmers. 00:00:14 Um, but we got to get it and experiment with it in Rice. I know you've all heard this before we talk about rice. 00:00:21 Rice is, uh, one of the hardest things that we cut here in the south. It's, uh, extremely abrasive 00:00:27 and if you know anything about down rice or some, some guys know more about down wheat. I'm gonna say down rice is about twice 00:00:35 as hard to cut as down. Wheated is so extremely slow. You know, in a, in a seven 80, we're generally running right at a one mile an hour, 00:00:45 getting about three acres an hour. And here with the X nine, we're still running, you know, roughly one mile an hour. 00:00:53 Sometimes we can run 1.2, 1.3, something like that. When you're getting those 0.2, 0.3 miles an hour, you, that's actually getting a lot more acre than a day 00:01:05 or getting a lot more efficiency in a day, you know, per machine. Uh, the only cool thing is, is when we're doing it 00:01:12 with the seven eighties, we're doing those with 35 foot hits. We're running a, if not the same miles mile an hour, uh, 00:01:20 maybe a little bit faster with the X nine, but we're doing it with a 45 foot hit right now. We're actually not in down rice, we're, 00:01:28 we're in standing rice, which is a blessing because that hasn't been that late here we lately. But, uh, we're extremely excited about it. 00:01:35 It's something that we've kind of all been looking forward to. We can't wait to get it in a bean field. 00:01:41 We really get to see what this thing's made of and using this 45 foot head big machine and see how many acres we can get in a day. 00:01:48 We're normally around the a hundred acre a day mark, you know, somewhere around there, depending on the day how much we gotta move with the seven eighties, um, X nine 00:01:59 I, I'm look really looking forward to see how much more than a hundred we can get. So guys just kind of stay tuned. 00:02:06 We will give you some more info kind on what's going on. Like I said, we're all excited. 00:02:11 We're especially excited to get to see it in the bean field and, uh, we'll keep you 00:02:15 updated and let you know how it's going. Hey guys, lane miles here. Uh, we tested out the X nine the other day in Rice 00:02:22 and, you know, we, we seen a little bit of improvement, which it was in down rice. Terrible, terrible situation 00:02:28 and, uh, extremely hard to pick up. So, you know, we did see a little bit of improvement with that X nine and the 45 foot head. 00:02:38 We were getting about a couple, three tenths mile an hour faster, but we were also carrying 10 more foot of head. 00:02:45 So here we're, we're out running the seven eighties by about a mile, an hour, mile and a half an hour, and we've increased, increased our productivity from about 00:02:55 nine to nine and a half to right around that 12, 12 acre an hour mark. Uh, this machine is big. It's bad, it's cool. 00:03:04 We've increased our productivity drive about 33%. When you're looking at bean harvest, when you're looking at, you know, hurricanes coming out of the gulf, uh, that's big. 00:03:14 I mean, that, that's just for one machine up against another. I mean, you're looking at maybe taking out a machine 00:03:21 on just a normal dry year. You could eliminate a machine. So you're going from six, combine managing six combines 00:03:29 to managing, you know, four or five combines instead of having all those machines and all those people. Now when you look into those hurricanes coming, you're able 00:03:37 to get that much more done in a day and you're looking at several dollars an acre savings or, or several dollars an acre from crop damage 00:03:47 that you're not getting from those hurricanes or from those bad winds or whatever. We're getting from, from the weather 00:03:53 coming up from the south. Uh, this particular year. We haven't had that yet, but you never really know. So we're excited about the XX nine. 00:04:02 We're looking forward to getting a little bit more production out of it and seeing what else we can get it to do. 00:04:07 If we can push it a little bit harder than we're pushing it 00:04:09.405 --> 00:04:09.525
