Classic Strength - International 1460 - Handles 1200 Acres - Corn Harvesting - Monroe - Harvest 2020

[@Blazefork]

Upgraded from a G gleaner to a 1480 many years ago, now running a 2188....long live IHC.... second to none!

[@73honda350]

I'm impressed by the 60+ year old grain truck. It looks great. Likely not too many active, working farm trucks of that age in MI or the midwest as a whole.

[@hughwhaley3179]

I have a 1420 and it does just as good as the new ones. 300 ac. I do + costume 👍👍👍👍

[@ronniewayne8681]

This brings back child hood memories growing up in the eighties

[@northrockboy]

I used to do 900 acres with a 1480. Nice to see those older machines still out working. Dont need a million dollars to bring in a crop. Bought 2 more for spares/ parts for 1k each. Drove them 150 miles home.gonna keep 1 in reserve in case of breakdowns.

[@chuckhill7326]

Those old 1460,s and John deere 6620 7700,s harvested millions of akers across America 70,s and 80,s in good form, 😮

[@millardhayes1884]

These were the hoot in their day and still are.

[@johnbeckon1547]

Yeah my grandpa used to own 2800 acres in Kansas and he handled all of it with that beast, he ran a 16 foot header because that was the biggest header ih had at the time

[@alanklages3853]

Rolled the 1983 1460 over 5000 hours this fall. Two years ago rebuilt the hydro pump and replaced all hydraulic lines. $2000 about doubled the value of the machine. Each year I do some upgrades as needed and the old girl cuts more wheat per hour and gives a cleaner sample. I keep thinking of upgrading to a 2388 or a 7088, but then I would have to spend more money and figure out what to do with the days when I would not be cutting grain, lol

[@GMEMD_SD40-2]

What a great video. IH was my first employer after college, and I loved that company. This reminds me so much of Surry County, NC where I grew up in the farm country. Where I feel in love with International Harvester equipment and the people who farmed that land.

[@samelliott2236]

I have two 1420 s They are good machines!

[@Colbato.]

awesome footage!

[@libasan]

Glad you enjoyed it! #HarvestChaser

[@ih1440]

Always great to see a 14 series working hard in the field. We run a 1440, and it might not be the biggest fanciest machine out there, but we enjoy it very much

[@Have_plow_will_travel]

Still run a 1983 1440!! 3,400 hours

[@stevenblunier7767]

That one still has a muffler.....you should hear them beller with a straight pipe. Great old machines....just finished picking corn with a 1978 1460 and 963 corn head

[@Ramboy2007]

That first truck that pulls in is a classic also. Looks like a Diamond-Reo by the hood and grill shape.

[@randyvoss]

I thought it was an international 190

[@Ramboy2007]

@@randyvoss Maybe, not close enough for me to tell. But a cool old ride no matter.

[@interman7715]

Btw my cousin bought one new in 1982 and he still harvests everything with it ,darn good classic machine.

[@glenirwin1110]

Alien technology back in 1977.

[@norm-nas]

Seems with out a grain cart to dump on the go it slows things down a lot.

[@wetlooklooker8502]

Adding a cart and tractor adds over 100k in cost,, does it really pay? Less soil compaction in the field without the cart.

[@norm-nas]

@@wetlooklooker8502 I would assume that us farmers already have a tractor or two so when the combine and trucks are in use one would be available for a cart. A 525 bu. cart used can be bought for about 7500 bucks. My neighbor farms 600 acres and has 2 carts hooked to both of his tractors (takes about 125 hp.) so when his son shows up with semi, it is filled in about 2 minutes and back on the road to the bin.. The combine does not stop combining except to turn around at the ends. It does take 1 guy for combine, 1guy for carts, 1 guy for semi. I agree with you 100% on the compaction thing but it seems that winter is always hurrying us up.

[@brentbell9543]

Yes. Absolutely it would. If you got yourself and 1 helper this is how it'd have to be unfortunately

[@northrockboy]

@@wetlooklooker8502 my friend just traded a 600 bushel cart. He got about 8k for it. Any decent tractor could be used with maybe 25k. Thays a long way from 100k. But many farmers have big acres and justice big equipment.

[@northrockboy]

how come your not planting that strip along the corn field

[@jamesrolfe9151]

Love it

[@rodneycody8746]

Nice

[@coreyseys64]

Great combine. those 1400 series revolutionized combines. Does your corn head have Knife rollers ?

[@jpg3reeves]

What type of drone was used to get these shots

[@libasan]

No drone, just a long pole & a GoPro! Thanks for watching! #harvestchaser

[@charlietanner6211]

why only 5 rows

[@stephendawg1]

Probably point rows. Looks like he was just opening the field.

[@rubbernutztm]

My guess is that he was concerned the hopper would be full before getting to the end of the field to empty.

[@farmerbill6855]

Had an extra row down at the other end. Not all fields are square.

[@darrenpickens7147]

Why are you combining 5 rows at a time with a 6-row header?

[@farmerbill6855]

He had an extra row at the other end. Not all fields are perfectly square.

[@switzerblitzer2701]

He's more than likely finishing up the point rows....I'm sure he combines with all six rows in the rest of the field.

[@johndeere709]

With that 6 row probably gives it a workout!!

[@norm-nas]

1460 is meant for a 6 row, will go 4mph all day with it.
