CASE INTERNATIONAL 1680 Axial-Flow Combine Harvesting Soybeans

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Wow human steered! I thought I was the only one left in the world without auto steer!! This combine was ahead of its time and the fact it's still being used says it all.

[@supermechagodzilla5918]

Same, i still drive one these awesome machines and i don't use auto steer!😄👍

[@lobbyrobby]

I usually run one of our combines with autosteer. When I have to jump into an older combine we have without it, it feels like I'm being punished lol

[@dawsoncarlgren630]

Boy that sound brings back some great memories

[@deanchurchill2667]

Good to see the older stuff. Thanks for posting it. 👍

[@bigtractorpower]

I like finding the classics.

[@ronnielopez3267]

I drove 1680 for 10 years in the 90's. Best summers of my life.

[@brandonhickman6658]

When I was I kid the farmers that worked the ground next to us had a 1688. They would work late into the night, and I can still hear that motor singing! Great memories.

[@vincentvanpaepeghem4844]

Great video! Love watching the older equipment working. Thanks for sharing!

[@paulpence8895]

They sounded so awesome with straight pipe...

[@LMDProductionsOfficial]

So true. My grandpa had a straight pipe Cummins 1660 (1991). Sounded soooo good.

[@jamesonquinn6950]

finally a good 1680 video

[@DABFarmPartnership]

Love our 1680 combine! Nothing like that 8.3L Cummins

[@paulaoki5474]

Beautiful scenery as well!

[@benbright5382]

From perspective if someone's says think of a combine then this is exactly what pops into my head. Brilliant. Just need a lovely old 1455xl chasing her with a cart and I'm in my childhood.

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍. We never had the 1455XL over here. In the IH days the 784 was the biggest import. The early days of Case IH had the 1896 and 2096 than the 5100 Maxxums were introduced. The 1455XL looks like a very sold and tough tractor.

[@benbright5382]

@@bigtractorpower she really was a big old beast in her day and she sounded like it too. If you ever get a chance to take a look at one it's worth it.

[@jeffwilken4578]

Oh that sound!! 😍😍😍 Had a 1660 then a 2166...no mistaking if Dad was still combining. 😁

[@spliceoncharlie]

Seeing many "Mac-Don" heads out here in the fields. Be nice to hear a little background about those headers.

[@johndeerefarmer5993]

[@steinwaymodelb]

This is probably the nicest crop of organic beans I've seen.

[@bigtractorpower]

The thought is the heavy cover crop will surprise the weeds. Which it did. The down side is it provides a great habitat for slugs that eat the crop.

[@mrourcanada8964]

As always another excellent video I have to say that combine is an excellent condition considering it’s age looks like it works perfect and sounds good to

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

mrour canada As long as its been taken great care of you can get more than 20 years out of a machine like this.

[@bigtractorpower]

This 1680 is in great shape. It does a nice job.

[@kenmosholder1935]

I just love your videos. Thanks

[@bubbawubba2307]

Fairly clean looking field considering the nature of the farming practices.

[@bigtractorpower]

The cover crop really suppresses the weeds but it provides a healthy habitat for slugs.

[@hughwhaley3179]

Thanks for sharing Jason Awesome videos 📽👍

Thank you for watching.

[@jacemarks5888]

That’s a Beautiful Case IH Combine!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@scruffy6151]

Good to see it still bringing in the crops.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1680 was the first to have a big 30ft flex header. Big soybean harvested in its day.

[@Tractorandsirens]

Awesome!!! My all time favorite combine is on here!!!

[@bigtractorpower]

Glad to hear that. Thank you for watching.

[@barryplassman4647]

Really great to see them rolling the rye and vetch cover and planting into that. Combine was nice too but I'd watch a whole video on rolling!

[@bigtractorpower]

There is good news. I have plenty of footage of the Puma rolling and seeding for a full video.

[@LMDProductionsOfficial]

Love this thing ❤️ That sound is intoxicating.

[@michaelward7175]

Great video. Brings back memories from the 70’s. Love that red equipment. Thanks for sharing.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1680 is great 80’s iron. Big time harvesting for the time period.

[@jeremyswindell7460]

Sweet ride! My buddy had one he bought brand new. What a beast of a machine.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. They are solid combine.

[@jeremyswindell7460]

Do you ever get to video any older massey combines?

[@markstengel7680]

Love me some Case IH machinery. Like the J. I. Case and the International Harvester prior merger machinery even more. Enjoyed Presentation🚜👍

[@bigtractorpower]

I miss the IH and Case days too.

[@kylebuehrer5710]

Love seeing this old iron still putting in work! Have you ever filmed a Massey Ferguson 760 combine working? That’s what I grew up with. I miss that big beast!! Keep up the great work with these fantastic videos!!

[@darrelcdammann]

We had two of those Haha just got the one still. And a 2388 👍 such a long drawn out harvest in Saskatchewan 🇨🇦🤭🚜

[@bigtractorpower]

I just filmed a 2388 in corn. I imagine you are often fighting snow and mud by the time you are trying to wrap up your harvest?

[@piperdoug428]

Love seeing farms proving the "less is more" style of farming. you can still pick up these "earn their keep" machines with less than 3000hrs. i was at an Ag seminar talking to a guy about the viability of commercial sized organic farming and he said (i kid you not) "i hope its viable, i farm 55,000 acres organic in Alberta" so lets just say i picked his brain for a while, lol.

[@bigtractorpower]

That is impressive. What crops do you raise?

[@charlesfuglie2491]

i just started combining soybeans with mine 1680. its my first combine.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Solid machine. What size header do you run.

[@andrewwhite3288]

My father owns the first 1680 that was shipped to Australia

[@killianfritz5840]

Love the 1600 series. Grandpa ran a few them back when he still farmed. Definitely brought back memories of riding in it with him back in the day. Dont know which one he had, the all red one he had didnt look quite like this one, dont remember him having that large of a hopper. He also had one with a white roof cab, not sure if that was a 1600 series or not. Not too familiar with farm equipment, just loved being around them when I was a kid

[@charlesfuglie2491]

the white cab top is the 1400 series just before the this one

[@killianfritz5840]

@@charlesfuglie2491 ah ok, I only rode in the 1600, remember seeing a 16 on the side. dont remember the rest of it, that was a long time ago lol he had the 1400 series for a few years before he retired from farming

[@charlesfuglie2491]

1460 was the first combine that I drove by myself. I was like 12 years old. Than I drove 1680 after that. Than I did drive a 9600 John Deere. Now I'm farming on my own. The first combine that I bought was a 1680 with a Cummins and long sieve

[@davidbell7091]

very interesting, can hardly see any of that very heavy cover crop that these beans were planted into.. great job

[@hwbarnes4610]

Beautiful machine.

[@bradenconway9066]

That combine is definitely at least 260bu with that hopper topper on it

It sure is. It was neat to see one with the 30ft head.

[@mackowen9337]

@@bigtractorpower yup!👍👍👍

[@4gauge10]

It's a mint condition B.T.P.,but that I still find that funny how you have to buy a whole machine when changing grains back then,on a John Deere,you didn't have to that,plus the Deere was a much beefier machine at 260hp.back in 1991 on their largest unit.(9600 series maximizer)

[@bigtractorpower]

John Deere has small grains, corn and soybean and rice combines. I have bunches of 00, 20 and Titan II brochures on all three variations. These were more regional releases to specialize in the majority of the raised in area. If you farmed in Kansas and Oklahoma you might but a small grain machine if your in Iowa or Illinois you would do with a corn and soybean model and Arkansas and Louisiana would look for a Rice model. Every brand had a rice model because a non rice model would ware out the grain return and unloading auger fast. I know you saw it but in the 7720 Turbo video I just released I mentioned the John Deere small grain, corn and rice models at m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqiYYp2rl6ZgfNU Today combines can switch in the touch of a button from one crop to the next. Back then certain parts were added to make a machine better suited for one crop. It’s not a flaw it is just the way it was.

[@4gauge10]

@@bigtractorpower I know,but what I was saying that the Deere was a more flexible machine in general over the I.H.version of the same class of machine.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

My Grandfather once owned a 1688.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1688 is cool. It was the first CIH available with duals from the factory.

[@Jorrie86]

I would love to grow organic soybeans ... But how does one controle pest like worms, beetles and aphids in the crop ?

[@frankwurth5375]

We still run a 1660 here. Light years better than the 915 it replaced.

[@nelsonoberg9747]

I remember operating our 1680 one time and the Rotor bolts sheared off up at the back. Well we couldn't figure out why the combine stopped so we open everything up and finally figure it out. So we had to go to my Uncles yard to use his quonset shed because it was low enough that we could use the roof to hold up the back of the rotor while they fixed it.

[@piperdoug428]

sounds like 24 beer rather than a 12beer kinda job, lol.

[@nelsonoberg9747]

@@piperdoug428 It was probably more a cube kinda job (which is 48 beer) over a flat (24) kinda job. The Combine was down for 2 weeks, the parts were only a couple days but tearing the Rotor Gear box and pulley out and putting it back took the longest.

[@ericpeters9787]

My dad still runs a 1644. Kind of an odd duck, but good little machine. Like the 5.9 Cummins in it.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I hope to film a 1622, 1644, 1666 and 1688 some day. It’s neat to find the smaller ones like the 1644 and 1622.

[@ericpeters9787]

I think after they moved to the 1644, 66, & 88 they dropped the small 20 series leaving 1644 as smallest.

[@SteveHolsten]

Jason, are you going to do any cotton harvest videos this fall since you skipped last year?

[@ronniesorter1888]

It would be awesome if you did a Massey 860 or a New Holland TR 96.

[@bigtractorpower]

It sure would be. I just need to find them working in the field to film. A TR95 and 850 are big on my wish list to see.

Try combining beans after they got flooded. Can’t breath

[@mrih1586]

Another good one. But have to ask. How they controlled weeds in no-till organic soybeans? Anyone?

[@bigtractorpower]

The cover crop being rolled ahead of the drill suppressed the weeds.

[@lobbyrobby]

[@BakersLawnCare]

I do not know. I did not ask the farmer. It was in very nice shape.

[@hardcoreplayafromthehimala4888]

Are part's still manufacturing for 16xx series?

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes I believe so. The 1400, 1600, 2100, 2300 and 2500 are all very similar as far as there threshing.

[@nicholaswilburn]

@@bigtractorpower Yes they are still making parts for the 1600 series. We have an early 1620 with only 2,000 hrs and can still buy factory parts. Usually for the bigger model the dealers always have the parts in stock.

[@russkes9745]

Way way way better than our neighbors organic soybeans, I think it'll make better hay because you can't even see a single bean plant

[@livingatvillage500]

I just released a John Deere 7720 video yesterday at m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqiYYp2rl6ZgfNU

[@stevenpayne3707]

That header just doesn’t look like it is 30 feet wide

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1020 is the model number for the flex head with plastic fingers which came in widths from 15 to 30ft. The 1010 was a ridged head with flat bats offered in sizes from 15 to 30ft. In the cab portion of this video you can see the 1020 decal on the 30ft header looking from the cab window. It is defiantly 30ft.

[@stanleybaker2798]

What type of machine harvest peanuts?

[@nelsonoberg9747]

There is the Inverter/Digger for digging up the rows and the combine for separating the peanuts from the rest of the trash. The Digger/Inverter is the same as used with other inground crops like potatoes and carrots.

DT 466 not 1466

[@bigtractorpower]

The sales brochure listed 1466. I questioned that reading it. I thought maybe there was a change so I read it the way it was listed.

[@rokinrattler]

bigtractorpower wow never heard of that my dads 1480 had a 436 ih maybe they added the 1 when case bought them out love your videos maybe you can make it out to the Texas panhandle for corn harvest some day

[@bigtractorpower]

The 1 numeration is something I will need to investigate. The DT 466 is one of those all time classic engines. I was surprised to see 1466. I use original sales lit for every video so I can read to facts direct from the manufacture. But that does not mean there is not a typo here and there in a brochure. I used a 1986 1680 spec sheet from Case IH. New company at the time so the Case guys might not of known their IH engines well 😁. I do hope to get to Texas some day.

[@rokinrattler]

bigtractorpower well hit me up when your ready i work for a private fertilizer company in the Texas panhandle the company also has farm and ranch land we market all types of fertilizer and think you would like what all we do from making fertilizer to the marketing of anhydrous ammonia and a lot of other types as well also have our of trucking fleet of about 50 over the road trucks
