I worked as a teenager on a farm as a hillside pickup combiner, picking up grass seed. To be able to even get on the crew, the owner would have us in a field, bending down and picking up the rocks and tossing on the back of a flatbed trailer being towed by a tractor. 15 hours a day, for one week. Out of 25, only 3 made to end of week. After seeing this, thank you ❤❤❤. So many times I wished I could drive our combined into one another. This is collateral beauty
The combine derby was started in the small town of Lind Washington over 30 years ago. I have been a participant for the last 5 years. Such a crazy thing to experience. And so much fun
@@elaineewalt8137 Looks boring imo. Idea is great and crazy, but... combine harvester is a solid piece of metal. The biggest damage was caused by wall, because of lack of precision while u-turning.
You don’t follow the markets for these machines, plus there’s a lot of us trying to start farms that can’t get affordable equipment because of scrapping and derby claiming these machines. It’s cool to watch, but it’s also keeping a lot of us from living the dream that is American farming.
@@AirborneRenegade yup for sure, and just like how that 1980 Takeuchi excavator is a total steal until you realize the entire machine needs an overhaul with parts that may or may not exist anymore. You can rebuild it, everyone else on RUclips is doing it but it might mean your operation is down for a few months. sure go ahead and buy that used combine, it's probably a good deal afterall
@@ValleyViewDairy oh, I understand that...my family had John Deere equipment. But what I meant... and I guess, should have said...was that I was surprised that he could continue to have ANY type of steering, in that situation.
Шоу чудове!! Проте у мене серце краєця, у моїй країні працюють машини яким 50років.. Старі машини в корозії, та складені із донорів. Великі компанії можуть собі дозволити нові John deere, але малі господарства мусять орендувати техніку, або ремонтувати стару техніку. Техніка яку я бачу на відео могла мабудь ще попрацювати на полі
Ahoj. Musí to být pobavení na nedělní odpoledne. To je v zásadě americká nátura a folklór. Ale jak říkáš, ano i padesát let slouží některé stroje v Evropě.
the things are junk, we got a 7720 thats perfect looking exterior, the inside is spray foam and plexiglass. loss 1/2 our crop this year cause it leaks so bad.
Yall need to quit being mad...... these people spend their own hard earned dollars to go out and have fun smashing up some combines. Reminds me of the people that get mad at whistling diesel for destroying his own vehicles because he wants to.
@@tractorman64Yep. This is cool because they are just having smashing junk machines. WhistlinDiesel just smashes perfectly good vehicles, and I don’t care for it. Miss his old vids when he just smashed junkyard cars
@@Thatrandomguyonyoutube547 Yea, that whistling diesel guy, he pisses me off and I know he makes too much money smashing nice stuff. I wait at least a week before I watch his vids that way he gets less recommendations from RUclips, I hope!
No seat belts I see. A few drivers seem to have almost been thrown through the front of the cab. Epic battle though. Some of those look about the same vintage as the one I drove 40 years ago.
After reading some of the comments I see I’m not the only one who feels the pain of those poor machines. Once all brand new coming off the assembly-line, put in a life’s work of the hardest work on the farm, all to end up being smashed to smithereens in the end. The 8820 reminds me of a 3-legged dog.
@@tractorman64 you said it. I notice more and more newer S series combines when listed for sale they’ll be advertised as having like 1200 separator hours on them with “$20k just spent on….” My cousins run an S670 and they pointed out how flimsy the shields are…so if steel is cheapened on the shields…ya know it is everywhere else.
It hurts to see but something i learned lately is : if your gonna try make money off machinery and especially in agriculture you need something that works ON THE GO. these combine probly needed a lot of work just to be able to harvest an acre. But yes its sad
@@tractorman64 I didn't mean the stem for corn, but a forage harvester/corn chopper, for example a John Deere 8200i 8 (of course older, that would be too good)
This is the most American thing I've ever seen.
You're goddamn right!
Is like a GTA side quest!! lol
It would be even more American if they are watching on the tailgate of there trucks while shooting ar15’s 😂😂😂

The fact that this exists makes me so happy.
Indeed.
This is amazing and so happy i discovered it lmfao
I’m so happy I just came across this
So true... watching this is pure joy
I love this
Love this. Hard to believe John Deere has been needlessly using 4 tires on combines all these years!
All the John Deere owners are mad AF right now because they realize they’ve been sold an extra wheel 😂

I went to the tractor pull the day after this and I remember seeing all those combines torn up! Especially that 8820 with 1 rear wheel
TORN UP was right!

Why is everyone upset? Do you seriously think there's any market value for extemely outdated and probably unusable combines?
You must not follow the used equipment market
@@getbent876 probably not just like i don't because im not a farmer. Besides if a old combine is at an event like this it's old an wore out
@@getbent876 for a skid steer or tractor? Sure. A combine from 1983 you're outta your mind.

I'm actually impressed that the one John Deere kept going after losing a rear wheel!
They're Deeres they are tough
@@ValleyViewDairy oh, I understand that...my family had John Deere equipment.
But what I meant... and I guess, should have said...was that I was surprised that he could continue to have ANY type of steering, in that situation.
dont mess with a pissed off Deere
@@ValleyViewDairy dam rite they are
He must have welded the rear axle so it couldn't flex
The 8820 looks like its still good to harvest crops.
Yeah it does
From the outside it does. But I guarantee you it has had multiple issues and had completely wore out harvesting components
Usually the drive and the motor is till good, but the threshing parts are shot.
Probably won't do any worse than when it was new.

After this the 8820 went back to the field and knocked out a 100 acres of soybeans looking like it does now without losing a drop, haha
Да он крут😂
Thank you YT algorithm for show this to me. Best thing I seen so far.

How did I not know this existed?! Absolute greatness!
My heart bleeds when I see what is done to these beautiful combines. But it's more fun than if they were cars.
I dont know how they can afford to do it, tractors are EXPENSIVE!

This might be the most southern thing that's ever southerned . 👍
It is in Minnesota … not exactly the South
How impressive and I need one for the wheat and corn harvest
Been doing these in southern illinois back into the 80’s. Always a great show at the Madison county fair
The European mind can't comprehend.
Přesně. Je to jak říkáš. Ale i tak bych to rád viděl naživo. Klasická obměna strojního parku. Umíte se bavit.😊
This is my first time seeing this event, but for some reason, it totally makes sense to me!
MURICA F YEAH! (love from france!) We'll never have such things outside cars derby
well thats a bummer, do they do trucks or minivans there?
@@tractorman64 i don't think so ? Monster trucks exists tho
Well. Now I have seen everything
Ok I NEED to know where this is held!! Time to add it to the North Florida Fair!!
This was in Minnesota.
This is my kind of fun. I love Fairs.

No seat belts I see. A few drivers seem to have almost been thrown through the front of the cab. Epic battle though. Some of those look about the same vintage as the one I drove 40 years ago.
Lets be honest here. Is there anyone here who has had a really crappy week of harvesting and all you want to do is .... THIS!
Yesterday I was watching farming simulator 22 videos, today I am watching 2 combines try to kill each other. I effing love the internet.
I have to get that game one of these days!

Probably took a thousand dollars to get these things rolling again
Any questions about how tough combines are built???
I mean, to our knowledge, they’ve probably got tons of internal problems now

Aca en mexico en un poblado que se llama vaqueros en general teran todavia usan las 6600 y la 8820 es nueva😂😂😂
That one little kid,"Can I have a go."
It’s much more entertaining at 1.5 times speed.
I should check that out!
This great though shouldn't 🤣 they be in the fields , only in the USA , thanks guys
This is the best advertisement for the Usa dollar
I was thinking the same thing 😂
only thing it misses is European combines ^^
Haha we do it up in Canada to so cool to put those dinosaurs to some good use haha
the most American thing i have ever seen
I love seeing these machines belch black smoke
….man, when your dads find out what you did instead of picking corn, he is going send you to get a switch

Better then rusting away in field forgotten!! At least this way they can bring happiness and fulfillment to their community one last time
@@Zacccc-m8p you make a good point
im sure the farmers have brand new combines at there farms
Does this count as foreplay in Hicksville USA?
Let our combines , combine .
It don't get much more American than this!

right, lol
How is this the first time I've heard of this?!?!?!? 👍
I love it it is my favourite sow I love the John deers
Wreckfest is the real thing
I believe the first ever derby was with combines like these
who really knows?
@@tractorman64 ah, looks like I was wrong
Google has a lot of different answers for it
It hurts to see but something i learned lately is : if your gonna try make money off machinery and especially in agriculture you need something that works ON THE GO. these combine probly needed a lot of work just to be able to harvest an acre. But yes its sad
Not really, they're basically bound for the crusher
Best video that I have seen ever
this John Deere was still in good shape and usable, and they destroyed him in this derby...xD
When did this become a thing!? 😲
God I love this country
My girlfriend caught me watching this and she asked me if I'm autistic.
What I learned from this:
-You can drift pretty much anything.
-4 wheels are completely overrated.
Small-scale farmers often rely on simple agriculture machines like tillers and seeders to meet their needs
god bless this country
That´s the most american thing íve ever seen
What became legal at the five minute mark?
Drive tire hits,
this looks like a bunch of buffalo in a field fighting😂
