Not sure...but with the good field conditions and dry(er) crop we averaged over 4000 bph (separator hour) with our 580R this past season!

 

Deere just hasn't got it yet...and the Red ones are learning quickly.

 

Cheers,

Steve

I agree Steve...with all of the right equipment and people...3000 bu per hour is not that uncommon.

Nice video.
