I enjoyed the pull type combines with the 1482 being my favorite. My first combine was a John Deere 40 self propelled which served me well when I ran it. It is highly appreciated to see these machines in action. Thank you for your time putting this together.
Yeah I like them too as the most troubles in SP havesters is in the drive trains.
The 860 massey brought back memories of the 1980s. I worked on a farm with one and when running the buggy the combine couldn't disappear behind a hill on you, just had to look for the smoke trail.
I think the best combine setup #5 because when you're done harvesting, you store the pull type combine in the shed and Continue too use the track crawler dozer year round & get super constructive usage out of the pull machine, the ag outfits should go back to this type of combine setup instead of the useless $900K self propelled combines that spend more time dry rotting away parked, this multi machine setup is the best by far. Especially for the little farmer or the overhuge farm. Alberta Canada
In 1958 my old man bought a Massey Fergusson Special, bagger combine. 280 lbs sacks @ aged16 soon build strength. A life time ago!
I have fond memories of our 1st self-propelled combine, the Massey Harris model 57. No cab and a lot of chaff still comes to mind.
8goi
You learned fast as an operater of open station combine to have your shirt tails pulled out at all times
I also made sure that my collar was buttoned tight.
Thank you for taking the time to find and film the old classics. Please film more old machinery as you get time and opportunity. What treasures!
1480 by far and wide!!!! Been through some bad weather, lodged crops and down corn, it stood strong!!!!!!!!!!!! The 1480 is a good machine. John T.
Your #2...JD hay cube was all new to me. Hope to learn more about that one. Thanks!
That 9501 and the Titan II were absolute monsters in thier time. Beautiful to see them running. The Titan IIs will always be my favorite combine. They still look awesome. The farm neighboring ours had one and I loved watching it.
Titán series my favorite too
That John Deere 9501 is enormous. It looks like something out of Transformers on its two wheels. And imagine spending a whole day operating the John Deere hay cuber with that two-stroke diesel blaring away at full revs behind your ears all day
Well, when I was in my early teenage years, we had an International Harvester 140 with a motor on it that we pulled with an M Farmall! And then we went up to an International Harvester 150 with the power take off on it! I did a lot of combining with the 150 pulling it with an International Harvester 1066! We farmed just outside of Evansville Minnesota! 🤠
And then my Dad bought a 77 case combine (power take-off) which we pulled with our International Harvester 560! Good Memories! 😎👍
Great harvesting history some really nice harvesting teams
@@bigtractorpower - My Dad just passed away at 97+ years old! He was a great influence in the community and the farmers that lived around him, and most importantly, to his wife and children! 🙏🏻 👍
And we still have the International 150 combine! 😎
You know what's amazing? The old boys used this stuff and still got the job done in time! They must have worked longer hours I guess. It's great to see the equipment from a simpler time.
Those pull types were pretty common here in Sk for a while......You are going to have to explain how that hay cuber worked! Thanks for letting us hear the machines work with no annoying music!!!
The hay cuber is so foreign, and the AC cotton stripper was delightful to view. The AC was working on an angle, much like today’s farmers cut wheat and soybeans on angles here in NW Indiana.
My pops used a JD 30 pull-type for soybeans and any wheat.
I’m not even a farmer and I’m amazed by these machines even though I don’t know what they are doing.
I really like to see the pull type combines also the John Deere hay cuber didn't know they made one great job
There is some of those Deere cubers in Riverton Wyoming
I am in South Australia and remember a cuber working on our neibours farm in the 1970s. they had trouble with moisture. Needing some moisture to form the cube but too much and the stack would heat up. I think they were planning to export to racing stables in Japan.
Страна огромных возможностей!Америка это сила!
No wonder all of us old farmers can't hear a darn thing
I bet you hear just what you need to
So true! 😂
Watching the cotton stripper took me back to the last time I picked cotton with a JD 9910. That was in 1984. Picking late into the afternoon watching the sun starting to settle. The smells and noise. I sure do miss those days.
This is Robert and we had a MF 550 combine with two headers a windrow pickup head & a 18' rigid with Hart-Carter Flex attachment, bought it used with 100 hrs & ran it 4 yrs. From the past this was our 6th Massey & about the most troublesome. After 4 yrs of problems it went done the road & we switched to a 7720.
It is unfortunate that after decades of leading sales Massey Ferguson’s 50 series saw the companies market share slip away. The Massey Ferguson combine in North America saw production end in 2019 and replaced by the Fendt Ideal.
I would have loved to see a Gleaner N7. This machine was so beautifull and was quite advanced in its time.
The N7 is on my wishlist to film. It was the biggest combine on the market in the early 1980s. Hopefully one will turn up.
Today I Learned:
1. They had combines with tracks in the 1960s. I associate them so much with big, new combines.
2. Pull type combines were still made in the 80s and even into the 90s. My childhood memories of seeing these things in the field were always of the self propelled variety.
3. That weird hay cuber I saw in a book when I was a kid actually exists to this day.
Thank you for watching. Steel tracks were introduced early on for rice harvest. Northern corn farmers found the steel tracks were helpful in snowy muddy corn harvests. The steel tracks were an option for the 5 series, 00 series and 20 series combines through the 80’s. The 9000 combines introduced rubber tracks made by Waltana in the 90s.
The pull types are neat machines. The tractor can seed and harvest in the farm. The draw back is they are mainly limited to swathed wheat. You can direct cut and harvest corn with them but the tractor has to run crop down to start the field.
Seeing and hearing the 400 working is cool. I have three different sakes brochures on the 400 and it’s loud sound was a surprise to me. Was that book you read as a kid Tractors Plows and Harvesters? It is a black and white book from the mid 1970s. I grew up reading that book and still have a copy.
@@bigtractorpower That is exactly the book I was thinking of. I believe I may have a copy of it somewhere too.
love the classic equipment
Thank you for watching.
I hope you will continue to show us your traditional cooking. It’s better than watching all those world famous chefs . Also your traditional attire and lifestyle are so wholesome , healthy and peaceful. It’s very soothing watching your videos . And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
That's a first for me. I've never seen or heard of a hay cuber before. The pull type International combines brought back lots of memories. We ran a 914 & later on a 1682. They were both great combines once you got used to them.
I love those old pull behind harvesters. Especially the early smaller ones.
8820 Titan II was the 1970 Chevelle LS6 of it's day. My absolute favorite.
Born and raised on farm and lived on one my entire life, I have never heard nor seen a hay cuber. Great video jason.
The hay cuber was a big seller in the south west. John Deere made the only self propelled but Massey Ferguson, Farmhand and Lundell made pull types.
Grew up in 1955-65 era and combined with a Massey 17 pull type, with pickup as swathing was common in our area. Then my father got two used Massey 21, self propelled. Me and my brother combined and our younger brother hauled the grain. Special times.
That was a great and similar time in farming. I always like to see swathing and pull type combines.
The JD hay cubers really caught my eye. We ran the field cubers up to about 5 yrs ago here in Wyoming. Became to hard to find parts to keep them going. Set up stationary unit to continue to make cubes
What is the benefit of feeding cubes as opposed to baled hay? More hay per cubic foot?
Yes that’s true and the cubing process also breaks down the stem wall for added feed value.
1482 for sure, what a beast with a big enough tractor pulling it, I have seen them eating z 60' cut that had been windrowed like stawberries to pig, I did my apprenticeship fixing those big boys, helped the engineers to get the bugs out of them
Would love to see Tillage,Harvesters and planting teams from the 1970's.
Love the channel and appreciate your hard work putting these videos together.Respect and support from the UK.
Thank you. I can work on that. I just posted a John Deere 8820 combine and 8850 tractor working on harvest and tillage a few days ago.
I currently run a F3 Gleaner. Small, but sweet.
Very nice. I saw a Deutz Allis F3 at an AGCO dealer on the trade in lot in 2017.
Great job finding all those pull type machines!! That 8820 was a nice machine too. I again can't pick a favorite. Those Massey's was walking good too
I'm astounded that you managed to film John Deere's last pull-type, the 9501! Apparently very few of them were made.
*EDIT:* Did some serious digging and found a guy who has access to some archives. He stated that a total of 75 9501's were built, but I'm a little doubtful about that.
I wonder how much HP was needed to run that? He was pulling in it with a 3020.
@@chuckfinley4757 The 9501 operator's manual states it needs 165 hp, so I'm really wondering how he's managing to operate it with a 72 hp tractor.

@@matthewkabanuk443 probably because it had a pickup head and he was going crazy slow, dont need the hp to run a cutter bar and the seperator
@@harleythrelkeld7587 Found the guy in a fb group who owns the 9501 in the video. He said that he did some pump and cam work that makes it crank out 120 hp.
Love the 1482 and the 1566 black stripe, would love to see a international harvester 91 my grandpa had one back in the early 80’s as I was growing up... another great year of videos please keep up the good work... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What size of tires does that 1566 have - it looks like it is really running uphill. I am much more of a fan of keeping them level. But what a great tractor and combine.
I didn't know they were still making pull types well into the 80's. The only pull types I've seen date back to the 50's, possibly 60's and they were small, then again it's rolling hill country around here and towing something large up and down the hills would be challenging.
i love seeing the old equipment working
I just wanted to comment to say that I love that you've taken a passion of yours and turned it into a channel like this.
Thank you for watching. It is fun getting to feature all this farm equipment history.
Love the pull types, not sure why exactly but they've always fascinated me. I had an International 82 for a short time a few years back, worked great but I don't have the ground or time to dedicate to grain/straw. Love seeing them still in action! The new stuff is interesting but it isn't run by the same kind of operation that has to run the older stuff.
What tractor did you run your 82 with?
@@bigtractorpower We ran an International 82 combine for about ten years. We pulled it with international 504. about 50hp on a good day.
@@bigtractorpower Pulled ours with a John Deere 5500 which I sometimes thought was too much power for the old 82, they weren't exactly built with the heaviest steel.
@@davidstrauss6755 How did you like your 82? My issue was that where I live in the northeast if it was wet in the fall at all the combine would plug up. I wonder if a pickup head would have worked better for here. With the scour kleen it sure did make some clean grain and straw though.
Thanks for the video of the classic combines. I love watching them work. I still run an old JD 4400. Economical to run and really gets my corn and soybeans clean.
Very cool. I filmed a 4400 this fall that will be in a future video. Very solid combine.
@@bigtractorpower Yeah, it's just the right size for my operation. I don't need one of the bohemoth's that they make today. I'll look forward to the video.
Nice to see the Massey represented. Back in the late 50 they ruled the harvest fun in central US during custom combining days Texas to Canada. John Deere and International we're not even in the running back then. You talk about pull types my very first combine I operated was a pull type Cockshut. How many remember them or never even heard of them. No unloading auger just dropped a shute off of hopper and it ran out into wagon or truck
Cockshutt were Canadian I think. My mates family had one down Balclutha way New Zealand.
@@conmanumber1 coskshut tractors were first to have lived power take off when u was a small boy they were popular as loader tractors because of that
@@conmanumber1 they were possibly Canadian there was later version just called coop. The company was absorbed into Oliver Co and Minneapolis Moline also absorbed into Oliver. Oliver was the changed to white with combination of all three Co ideas they later merged with Allis Chalmers and Massey Fergus
@@joescheller6680 Now I thought International Harvester or Farmall were the inventors of the power take off.
Hard to believe the 760 and 860 Massey never made the list!!
Grandpa had a M H pulltype 50s model with a 6 or7 ft cut we pulled with a Massey 30. All Armstrong. I loved when we brought it out for prepping and greasing under the dig oak tree. Great memories.
Saskatchewan grain Farmer. Never knew that John Deere ever made a 9501. Would have loved to see one working. The 6601 was good but a bit small for a 30 foot cut swather
The 9501 was a neat find last year. I am hoping to get a chance to film a 7701 this year.
Super gut gemacht viel Spaß und Erfolg und bleibt alle gesund und munter
Awesome! I enjoyed seeing the John Deere 4400 hay cuber and the 9501 pull behind combine. No cab or transmission or engine to fix or maintain.
Love international tractor combine love see massy Ferguson 135 combine in action I learn how run one when sixteen
The 1482 combine is an impressive harvester. That is neat you ran a 135.
That 860 Massey was really moving in that corn.
I love to see those old pull type
Liked the 65. I've always been a fan of that series. Surprising that the 95 didn't need any extra weight on the back end with the 410 head.
The Massey-Ferguson combines has the greatest engine noise I reckon. I think they have a V8 Perkins too In some.
Several from the 70’s used the V8.
Small world.
I met Hugh Perkins the son of Frank Perkins the inventor of the high-speed diesel in Peterborough England which was later owned by Massey Ferguson. Hugh Perkins migrated her to Oamaru, New Zealand and became a deputy mayor in our town then moved up to Christchurch city. Disregarding Hughs link to the great company he was a very cool unassuming guy who's trade was my property valuer. In the greater scheme of things I guess it like meeting Henry Ford the 2nd?
That V8 Perkins was also used on the English built Leyland and Dodge trucks in Mid 1970's till mid 80's
I am surprised that the tractor with the pulled combine does not pull to the right, it drives in the lane without any problems 👍👍
I love seeing the old iron out in the field. The side pull combines are so cool but I really enjoyed the John Deere 95 on tracks and the John Deere Hay Cuber with a 2 stroke. Thanks for sharing. Great way to start 2022. Happy And Healthy New Year to you and your family!
Allis Charmers All Corp pull combines, I harvested grass seed with the 72 model for several years before up grading to the John Deere 6600 combine
I never knew AC made a cotton harvester like that. Way cool!
First combine I drove was a massey ferguson 550. Had 10000 hrs on it when it left the farm.
Love the IH 1482. Dad used to pull it with a Case 4490. Brings back good memories
The pull type combines look impressive😁👍 it is awesome to see that you filmed so many classic combines in 2021👍😉
Great video👍👍
It was a fun year of filming. It was surprised to film so many pull types. People have requested pull types for many years but they are harder to find.
Great video……. Love a bit of vintage machinery!!! The trailed JDs are great but the international is my favourite!!! Especially because we had none of these in 🇮🇪!! My neighbour used to have a vintage binder and thrasher pulled by vintage Ford tractors!! And I used help him out….. great road trips were had!!!
The pull types were neat finds this past year. They were strong sellers for IH and JD in the northern wheat belt at one time. It allowed farms to use a tractor to plant and harvest. Very cool about the thresher and Ford tractors.
The White 9700 was the best classic combine built, and the biggest too..
LOVE seeing these golden oldies still afield!
What great fun and a refreshing alternative to the usual end to old combines, [which I refuse to attend].
My brother went to work for Deere in 1966. The first project he worked on was the hay cuber. I think he has a patent or two on the window pickup. It was the most expensive machine Deere built at that time. I think it and the dump cart was around $32.000.
Those old 1482's are very hard to find great work. That 1460 is lookin' fine too...
All of these machines are so sweet 😋! When the 9501 came out that 😍 really made it! What beauties! My old machine is a 1971 6600. Does it's job every year.😊
The 6600 is one of the all time great harvesters. I recently found a 6600 on steal tracks that I hope to get filmed this fall.
@bigtractorpower I would love to 👀 see that! When I was a kid in the mid-70s, we had a guy combine our corn and he had a 7700. It was so muddy that he had to put on his steel half-tracks to get the job done.
Man we still run a pair of 1482 combines for harvest and here I'm being they're classics haha!
Please leave the description on the screen longer so the reader can fully comprehend the details.
Personally liked that 1566 better than the combines!!!!!!!!
The 1566 is a stand out. That is my friend Bill’s main tractor on his farm.
Classic, needful 'n unique footage!
That's why i watch BTP. Special thanks to 2:35 - 3:25 SFPH JD 5400, i celebrate the most!
always like to see big red rotary combines as they are the leader and everyone else tryies to match them
The Axial Flow is a solid combine design. It was very cool to get to see a 1482 in action. I have filmed a 1420, 1440 and 1460. I still need to locate a 1470 and 1480 to film.
Pulltype Combines always awesome.We had an John Deere 360 Pulltype here in Germany in the 70's.
Very very cool.
Great job finding all those pull type machines!! That 8820 was a nice machine too. I again can't pick a favorite. Those Massey's was walking good too. 👍
It's great to be American.
I would have liked to seen more A C combines , like what we used on the farm, back in the 50's & 60's
I like AC allot. Unfortunately I just didn’t really get to film any except for an A2 in demonstration this year. I am always looking for Gleaner and in 2017 I got the film a whole bunch of them. Hopefully 2022 will be a good year for the silver combines and filming.
My favourite is the JD hay cuber. Did not even know such a thing existed!
It is a neat machine.
@@bigtractorpower For sure. Does anyone still make one now or is it a bit like trailed combines, a thing of the past?
I would like to see a vid of the UNI systems from the MM all the way to the last New Idea Units and maybe a few of the pull type New Idea as well
Very very nice Combines, great video.
excellent video. Great to see some of these classic combines at work, some of which I have operated.
The Allis Chalmers Cotton Picker is Awesome. Never seen one run before, pictures in my History books.
Really a great video!! Like seeing some classic machines Harvesting!!
wonderfull to see.... more of this plz....
Thanks so much
Thank you for watching.
Really liked the 8820 titan with the duals
Bro the IH pull type combines are probably the easiest one to love
It's nice to see some pull types in a video. I have a No. 64 McCormick that still runs and everything but needs a fair amount of work. I couldn't believe after I hooked it up to my M that it took off after sitting for decades. They really aren't built like they used to be.
IH built some very strong machines that were built to last a life time. I hope you can get your 64 up and fully running.
@@bigtractorpower when I do I'll let you know. Maybe you can make a video!
Extremely rare to see 9501 without engine AND cab
It was a nice a find. I will have a full video on the 9501 in July.
so what was the purpose for the hay cuber ? Ive never seen one of them or ever heard of them until now . very interesting machine
They were popular in the south west for making cubes to feed to cattle and chickens. It was a big industry in the 60’s. Both Massey Ferguson and Farmhand made pull type cubers.
@@bigtractorpower cool, thanks for the info
Thank you
Neat to see the different types & models of combines. Always enjoy watching them working in the field. That IH 1566 Black Strip sure caught my attention. LOL Thanks for sharing.
The 1566 is a stand out for sure.
Thank you for another great video. Can you tell me where you get your machinery prices from? Would be interesting to compare the old prices with the latest prices.
I use an annual dealer price book that goes through 1994 that gives the base price and option prices. Unfortunately this guide is not offered any more with original prices it only gives used prices year to year I did just make a video the compares 1980’s prices to 2021 prices in this posting at ruclips.net/video/rBYp_j2rlpo/видео.html
Had a lot of pulltype combines of all the major brands around when I was younger cause of all the mixed farming operations to bale the straw. Never many with the straight cut headers though.
Beautiful content and Beautiful Flag. After centuries of humanity, God blessed us ALL with that flag. Freedom is such a beautiful right. Fight for it or die with nothing. #GodBless
🇺🇸 🇺🇲 💪🏼💪🏼✝️✝️
😁👍🇺🇸
Love the Oliver and Moline as well.
😁👍
Thats a neat old combine set up thats not self contained . I havent seen very many of them like that with no driver on board the machine
Was the 9501 being pulled by a 3020? At 7:10, that looks like a 3 on the shield.
I can’t believe it my self, that 9501 running full would need 140pto hp minimum I’m sure, more if the chopper was being used. A 5020 would make more sense
It is being run by a 3020. No owed powering in this harvest. The farm usually has a 6030 on the combine but it was down on the day of filming so the 3020 took over.
I am from Saskatchewan there use to be a lot of those 1482 combines around my area. they were a big outfit back in the day. So cool to seen one in action again.
I hope to find a 1682 to match the 1482 some time.
@@bigtractorpower well if you are anywhere near ND next fall look me, up we normally run 2 1682's with 25' draper heads in wheat and barley.
ya there was a lot of 1682 around also everybody had pull types. A lot of guys ran Johnny’s on the front some ran international on front.
I would love to see a history of John Deere 2 row cotton pickers, from the 99 to the 9930. And then from the 9940 to the CP790.
I can give you plenty of drone footage of a 9986 and a little footage of a 9930.
That's quite a collection of classic equipment. I may be wrong, but the Deere hay cuber sounds like it has a Detroit motor?
Yes it is powered by a Detroit.
@@bigtractorpower That's pretty neat.
thanks for a fine video this will go down as one of the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for watching.
I use to have an IH-82. Pretty neat to see it's big brother.
We have a Massey 550 that used to be our primary combine. It's now turned a self propelled baler.
