We ran a 715 gas for several years. It was a good machine fore it's time. I ran a stone into the cylinder one night combining beans, stopped everything instantly. When we tore it apart to assess the damage we decided it was time to put the money into an upgrade and stepped up to a used 1440. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I also made dang sure the 1440 had a rock trap! No more of those headaches.
Dad's first combine he owned was a 715. As he always put it, it made him money. I remember being a little kid riding with him and on soybeans that combine would growl and make all kinds of noise. Then he upgraded and got a 1440, and boy, it was a game changer. Im sure dad would say it was no more headaches also
Farming like it's the late 1960's. I had one of those in the 1990's but mine was a gear drive and it had a chopper. Great old machine brings back a lot of memories watching this. I ran a 843 4 row narrow on mine.
The best combine offered by harvester for years until the Axial Flow came out. Their larger machines were junk! at that time. We had a late 915, worst of the worst. Run it 2 days and fix for 3. Good in corn but almost useless in soybeans. My prior machine was an earlier 403. It was reliable and cheap to run, should have kept it. The 715 was an upgraded 403. Been looking for a decent late 715 for a while, for a back up for when my 1660 is down. I see he has a few extra parts machines on hand. These folks still enjoying simpler farming with the older reliable red machines are much like myself! It's the only sustainable farming possible. You can never convince me that BTO farms can ever pay for those million dollar machines no matter how many acres they try to cover, especially with corn down to $3, a bushel! Be like that guy in N Dakota, buying grain for above market price and shipping it to the terminal market at a loss on every load! After 15 million in lost money and a pile of bounced checks, he's in the jail house now! And all those farmers that thought he was a great buyer to pay them above market, their sitting on a lot of bounced checks.
Maybe true, but from my experience, these trucks are expected to run one or two months out of the year. Then they sit and wait for another ten months to come out of hibernation. Sitting and waiting is not good. Usually causes fuel and carburetor problems. I'm sure 715 is doing the best he can with what he's got. Ya'll be safe! Just a guess, a 345?
If whole cobs coming out the back open bottom sieve wide open clean with top sieve be aggressive with your fan and you'll never have troubles with returns plugging. That thing will pick then
What a great looking, and running machine. Awesome

I’m not a farmer, but I sure appreciate all that y’all do!
Love how you take care of your equipment
Good work with Good older machines. Lower overhead and very clean corn. God Bless.😊
Say, the good old days aren't all gone!! I have four 715's but only use for small graines.cheap to operate.
0:33 I had already thought at the beginning... for what goes in at the front, far too little comes out at the back 😂

I had 915 and didn't have any problems with it.
Dude ,815s and 915s were very popular in my area !
RED POWER!!!
Most people farming today have never seen a manual auger.
Nothing sounds like an Inter.
WHAT ENGINE?
That truck needs some work. Roughest sounding IH engine I’ve ever heard. They usually run as smooth as a fine Swiss watch!

I think it's just the video's audio. The truck runs great (I filmed this video).
Where is that farm at?
My guess that machine is about like a 95 John Deere. Dad had a 1959 95 and a 1969 95.
Slow traffic keep right.
