Agco Unicorns! An Allis Chalmers 8095 and Gleaner R50

[@maverick5006]

We are such a disposable society. It's wonderful to see these work horses being preserved AND used! Hope you and your family have a Blessed Christmas.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I agree, most everyone wants new and out with the old. It was pretty cool see them and I can't wait till spring time to help to get to see the 8095 working some ground. Hope you all have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

We still run an R7. Good combine and it doesn't owe us a thing.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Great to hear, love seeing them older machines running

[@garyberg]

Thanks for this video! Love seeing this older equipment.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Me too! It was an amazing experience. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@fdelputte5755]

‘Powerladder’ ! .. nice catch

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I figured @briansfarmingvideos would appreciate it at least

[@SilverGleaner]

My 1981 L2 was available with a power fold ladder. I also had an R50 and they weren't all that uncommon but the experimental one certainly is. I also saw an all green painted R50 at the dealership in New Hampton Iowa a few years ago. That one is rare. The R7 replaced the N7 and were the largest capacity combines in the world in their day as far as I know.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Sounds like you really know your gleaners! Thank you for the information and hope you enjoyed the video. We are a big Allis Chalmers fan and the only tractors we use on our farm

[@aidencrawford3487]

They were very high capacity combines for there day, but I'm pretty sure the 8820 was bigger. I do know the N7 was the first supposedly 12 row capable combine

[@SilverGleaner]

@@aidencrawford3487 An N7 was quite a bit larger capacity than an 8820. 8820 was closer to an N5. When dad rented out the farm for awhile the renter had an 8820 then switched to a 2188 or 2388. The 8820 was more reliable than the CaseIH but the Case was way easier to work on. BTW the N6 came out a year earlier than the N7 and was actually the first 12 row ready combine in the world. The N7 had 270 hp and a 315 bushel bin. The N6 at first was 220 hp and 220 bushels later 245 bushels.

Interesting stories and unique equipment!

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

It was an awesome visit and amazing story!

[@karlkasper3012]

Wow that is neat to see a 8095 in person. Would like to see it in the field working also.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Planning to get some video of that this spring

[@hulk2891]

Hello mate hope you and family are all well , Hope this is sign of things to come lot of views here eh ? something about old machinery built to last bit like Us lol thanks for the update and video till next time stay safe and take care

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I hope you're right but it's hard to say with the KZbin algorithm lol I will say that people get more excited over old equipment than it seems brand new equipment at least most of folks I work with and know. Hope all is well, take care

[@shawnduncan1578]

So cool thanks for posting this

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@stevenlilelogistics6673]

What awesome equipment.

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I was awestruck when I got to see them in person!

[@kylewanimont9539]

Thanks for sharing!

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

You are welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@munchybanana9163]

Just meet that guy a few weeks ago. Came into a dealership in southern Minnesota

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Ethan is a pretty cool guy.

[@anthonylentini6278]

great video

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidstanonik3389]

I worked for AC Frankville, WI as a prototype build And test technican and built one of the 8095 at the very end in 1985

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

That is awesome!

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I do not know

[@JandLVideos]

I was lucky enough to talk to your Boss Larry Gruenberger before he passed away. He told me that the 8095s were ready for production before deutz shut them down.

[@daehlerfarms]

@Oliver 880 No, its still owned by Fanetti. Hunley's owned these out in Indiana. I can make a third one if i got all the stuff Fanetti owns.

[@JandLVideos]

@@daehlerfarms me and Andrew are thinking of maybe visiting again next year!

[@paulmater901]

Finally a real farmer! Maybe?

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

Well I'd say so lol

[@paulmater901]

I guess time will tell!*

[@familyfarmertn8931]

What size bean head was he running on the r7?

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I believe 15 or 20ft

[@daehlerfarms]

20ft

[@familyfarmertn8931]

@@daehlerfarms could you run a 25 ft bean head and a 6 row corn head on a r7? I've been looking at the r7 but don't know anything about them.

[@daehlerfarms]

@familyfarmer TN Handles a 6 row great but a 25 ft flex in good beans is a load at times. Plus you need to have fairly flat land since it doesn't have lateral tilt. You can go to a newer series combine for what a R7 is plus motor parts for the 7s are getting somewhat scarce but still gettable.

[@familyfarmertn8931]

@@daehlerfarms thanks. Maybe I should look for a newer one. A r50 might be better but I'm not sure about the air cooled engine. With the age and not knowing how it has been taken care of. Thanks for the info

[@user-snowman5]

To bad allis chalmers couldn’t keep it goin they made lots of good quality equipment

[@FreedomFarmsMo]

I agree, I could only imagine how many more firsts they would have brought to agriculture

[@paulmater901]
