This is by far the best channel on KZbin for reading the most entertaining comments on all of social media. And it’s even free !!!!

[@soilmapman2253]

Yes it is.....and all of the helpful advise he gets on each video. most of those are priceless...

[@DuffyAg]

I do get alot of entertainment from the comments as well

[@frankmccray-tp6ci]

I like your videos but please stop praising vevor there stuff Is completely junk

[@Dang.sauce..]

the combine should definitely one thing you want to keep covered in the winter

[@bigcarp60ify]

That 8829 is BEAUTIFUL 🤩

[@johnsandell4501]

Great to see how you appreciate how previous owner took pride in their equipment you purchased. Great progress again Chris.

[@neilpughnewleafagronomyltd8688]

Hey Chris the wires on the walkers, are for walker loss. The rack load will be on the inside of the back wall, it’s usually a plate that lifts away from the sensor. Should be a good machine, keep the concaves and the rub bars up and the walker cranks and sieves up and she will last a long time.

[@billmcconnell1737]

You have come so far in a year. Crazy people want to be negative. Just keep doing what your doing. Leaving your dream an chasing it at the same time. So happy for ya

[@garywaxler7866]

I have a JD 8820 Titan II for beans & a Gleaner R-52 for corn & love them both. Build a roof extension on that shed & get that combine @ least under roof.

[@mikewood3203]

"what could go wrong?", the words that gave my mother and my wife gray hair.

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

Helping out neighbors is what farming is all about when you can

[@jeffmcbride469]

Can't wait to see that combine in the field. I love the way this channel finds the older stuff, and makes it work!

[@RockyRiverFarms]

Ran my 8820 for 10 years and have never raised that step. Honestly till now didn’t even know it could 😂

[@DuffyAg]

I have a feeling I will find some mud this year and ladder down may cause some issues

[@Nobody-Nowhere-USA]

You just discovered why that type of saw is called a cold saw! They are extremely useful!

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

Very Very nice combine. Please find a place to park it inside and keep it greased up. Best of luck with harvest and keep on farming 😊

[@BillSkidmoreoutside]

New journeys for us non grain farmers, its fun to learn it with you

[@jeremygilbank5378]

U mentioned a 12 row head in the last video of the combine. Dad said it had a 12 row head on it when he bought it. 8 is all we ever ran on it though.

[@davehayes3866]

Oil for the steps do wonders

[@user-zv4hx6ok4b]

Thanks for the video's

[@martinwaddell]

You working on that old combine makes a lot of good content for your channel.

[@peteparker7396]

Oh there will be lots of working on that old girl.

[@johnwudarcki9315]

That’s why I watch Farm,Fox, Fab so I can watch new equipment break down 😂😂. Tits tires or treads it will ALWAYS give you trouble

[@bobearl7859]

Now you need to modify the end of your wood barn and make a door so you put your combine in.

[@rickarting4591]

There Is a rubber plug that goes into the two large holes on top of the cab hood. That hood swings up to access the cab air filter.

[@jacelarouche]

Your going to wanna order and change out your shoe drive sprocket to one from a yellow top 8820 (19 tooth from a 21 if I remember correctly). Slowing down the shoe will save you a bunch of headaches with cracks and what not in the future. Other wise those girls are damn good machines.

[@keithfrazier2558]

Get you a wool pad on a grinder or polisher and get some fine cut rubbing compound. I know 3M is expensive, but it's the best on the market. What we used in the body shop for oxidized cars. Red cars in particular seemed to oxidize bad.

[@tripod6406]

Somebody has probably already said this, but that saw is known as a cold cut saw, it doesn't need to spin as fast as a normal chop saw, that's why the piece was cold to the touch straight after cutting, revolution do a similar and some may say better version of it.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Chris, Yenko, I hope ya'll are doing well, I've been subscribed for several years now, and I gotta say Chris, I am very proud of you my Friend, from working with your Family under very difficult working conditions, constantly being under appreciated, and always remaining positive and hard working, to now having your fully working farm, and with beef, which you said you'd Never have lol as a 5th generation beef Farmer, I am happy to see that you have beef on your Farm too, the combine is such a nice touch, I patiently awaited its arrival, and gotta say, very nice to see it, keep up the hard work Chris, I have zero doubt that you will continue to be a huge success Chris, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friend, Peace

[@drewbooher5809]

Hey Chris , good to see ya working on the combine , I bet that big girl will eat corn with that 8 row . Watching from East Tennessee , you've got a good looking farm , you should be proud......Andrew

[@deerefredj5975]

you need to get your pickup going , I couldnt be without mine !!! ............. I understand youre excited to get combine together but you wont need it for a few weeks :)

[@wolfgangmuschong2735]

The Combine is his daily driver

[@robertmiller9645]

Ought to buy a pickup and get rid of that blue piece of shit

[@schm2918]

I still have nightmares on occasion about getting down onto those straw walkers to change the bushings up front! If you find yourself in that situation, find someone that's very small..

[@alhoff4465]

My Gramps got this nice old-school manual drill in his shop. It was obviously converted and upgraded a hunded times or so. It's powered by a powerful but slowly turning engine, with all the cogs reducing the turn speed tremendously as well. It's still as manual as it gets, having to turn the cam by hand tooperate the whole thing. It fits various drills, we have some that look like a flat head screwdriver on the top - they're made from the best material I've ever seen. Gramps says they're made from "bayonet steel" - the same kind that saw the battles of the 1st WW. Keep it up, great progress in this short time. Hope for more!

[@chrishorton6605]

Leave Combine Ladder up when parked for longer periods so spring is relaxed most of the time.

[@robkent6321]

That 8820 will be a good machine for you Chris. They are a big capacity combine for the age of it. When the top bearing on the tailing elevator goes you have to take the floor panel out of the cab to get in and cut the old race off the shaft. I did the one on the neighbours 8820 a couple times in the time they had it. Keep it shedded if you can or buy a big tarp.

[@robertmiller9645]

A hoop building wouldn’t work too bad

[@toddlowery1738]

Great Chris. Love the pride that you put into everything you do. Keep it up . Maybe we can change the way this country is headed . Non working entitled kids that don't know getting your hands dirty is all about

[@twotappat7823]

Great video as always. Watching you get stuff done amazes me.

[@davegreazel6596]

Nice 8820! I had a late 60's 4400 a couple years ago that had 800 original hours on it. She was almost a museum piece.

[@philipasbury9173]

Combine looks a beast with duels on, hopefully it’ll be a good reliable machine and you pick up some custom work for it.👍

[@kevinsiedschlag429]

Hint for doing valve cover , first check valve settings, adjust as needed, next use a good glue to attach gaskets to valve cover. I use upholstery spray glue,

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great video Chris thank you was fantastic put the harvester back togeather bach together and the new chopsaw is awesome 👌

[@johnhawkins294]

You're doing a great job!

[@bobearthquakepumpkinfarm7455]

As for lights, you may want to put spots on the left and right sides so that you can tell when to turn. I mounted mine on the bin.

[@budafarms]

We just upgraded combines this year as well went from 2 1984 and one 1979 n6 gleaners to 2 2000 r62 gleaners

[@stephenfloat1260]

I know nothing about farming and live in the UK you Vlogs are really interesting

[@johnhenderson299]

Looks like a great combine

[@67HotRod1]

Live outside STL Missouri. Neighbors mowed their beans and corn due to no rain. Send that rain here...

[@jimmyhartman4596]

Make sure you torque the duals exactly what the book says, my buddy didn't and ruined the rims.

[@scotthawkins1538]

Check the tool ox for the plate ? That's where we kept ours

[@robertburey4704]

Very nice combine.

[@br927]

Kids wanted all new equipment, my Dad always said some people have more money than brains!!

[@bryanginder5903]

That backwards combine on your thumbnail really looks different, just not something you see much! 😁

[@Skeeter93]

You should put one of those wirless backup cameras on the combine

[@paulneaton4841]

Take it from someone who has done dirt work with mack dump trucks, get the frame hooks for the front and rear.

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Brilliant!! 😂 Personally I wouldn’t waste time on a bumper right now. Tow hooks would be 3-4 bolts, even if he has to blow some holes in junk bumper

[@danhoff7098]

Install P clamps on A/C lines. Vibration will cut into the lines with the wire ties on.

[@ole-andersrnningen9000]

You are living my Dream Chris. Just ❤ all of it. Keep on keeping on🎉🎉🎉🎉hei. Love from Norway ❤❤

[@hobbyistliving]

The only thing you now need is a good trailer even though you have the dump trailer some grain sites don't have the room for a dump trailer I would recommend to look for a Wilson or timpti hopper bottom trailer

[@misner3485]

Got a 72 A model big cam, marine injectors, big pump, blank plug, twin turbo, wet stacks like he'll, I love her!!!!

[@misner3485]

Oh an she runs 3000 rpm

[@GaryHolcomb-q7p]

Hydro filters and oil! That's your hy doller

[@vicconi3723]

You have a great sponser with Vevor.

[@hiddenspringsfarmandtransp4920]

I use to think so but we bought a pile of Jack's from them and had some defective out of the box and they will not make it right

[@DuffyAg]

I will being that up to them. I've had good luck with everything. The manure trailer hydraulic set up sold me on them

[@Husker3435]

G’job Chris, here’s hoping the 8820 works like a champ for you🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸take care hoss

[@rickyhuffman3]

With the duals on that combine you won't be gaining much by taking off the head to move. My Case IH 7230 and the S670 it replaced were 17 ft wide and a 8 row 30 head is probably 22 ft.

[@davidwhisnant3230]

Be sure and check the shoe angers bearing and gears i about burnt my combine up one night hard see that under feeder house

[@doughamberg9647]

Looks clean

[@brianshell4111]

Need to grab a drive way drag off vevor, works really good

[@keithfrazier2558]

I had thought it at the time, but never said anything. Only advantage of switching tractors on the rake would have been having AC and being able to take Yenko with. Kinda a pain to swap them though.

[@realfarmer8081]

Wrong Pto shaft size , running adapter probably makes Pto shaft on implant to long, might be good shaft size for baler but tractor is not big enough

[@darylhamann2310]

More free stuff what a life

[@RELO6]

he needs all that loan money to buy blown up trucks

[@jasonnehls1083]

Nobody cares

[@waynejones5239]

It's something for the company to get there products out there and to show them off and he gets to use them win for both sides and you get to see if they actually work

[@kdh1309]

You made the right move staying in the North East , you would have starved to death out in the Mid-west where you didn't know anybody ! lol ! Good looking combine , well taken care of .

[@mrbill4187]

Lots more free advice in the comments🤣🤣, I've seen that sweet farms guy giving lots of advice around the youtube's. He should start a consulting firm😆

[@DuffyAg]

🤣🤣🤣

[@thomasfoster6146]

Question coming from someone who doesn’t know. How do the bin end tension work if they are only on the front and back of the bin and not the sides as well?

[@jasperaj1]

The combine needs a roof 😉

[@18brash]

You can just leave the ladder down we have a 6620 side hill and we never raise it and it never comes close to hitting anything and we even have an extra step put on it

[@OOpSjm]

One never needs to raise it until it's stuck or bent in the mud. Then you wished you had raised it.

[@leinie6683]

Did you put some grease on the pins for those steps ? and lube the mechanism , maybe theyll raise up bettter

[@maddog2771]

To bad you don't have a shed big enough to keep that combine in , I'm sure it's in you future plans

[@OOpSjm]

There looks like an exhaust leak on the turbo. (soot staining)

[@greensteel9757]

Hey Duffy are you going to put up a barn or have it inside?

[@anthonybarton2103]

Use your old engine hydraulic oil works wonders.

[@johnnyholland8765]

I didn't see you clean all that crud off the ladder assy or the combine before you installed it. I hope you did cause that is how rust and corrosion begins. I never listen to a radio when running a piece of equipment especially a combine. I want to hear what the machine is doing. You run a combine and a cotton picker with your eyes ears and nose.

[@DuffyAg]

I did clean it off just the angel wasn't good so didn't put the clip in and I don't listen to radio in any Harvester much listen for any noises

[@macdonaldclarke7558]

Before you cut your hand off, that saw gard isn't adjusted right

[@matthijntolkamp4960]

You should not let this beautiful machine in the rain and weather, maybe put over a big tarp during wintertime.

[@kalebrivers5260]

Mennonites around me have nicer trucks than everyone around, own 90% of all the business's an own nothing but the best...then the amish all ride tractors or their horse an buggies. Wild to see the difference between here and than on your videos.

[@shawnhagen6871]

Vevor has been a great partner for you! Keep grinding Duffy

[@bobrat]

Chris with all of the rain up NY way will you be putting the floaters on the red Mack? Would they fit? The cold saw spins at around 1400rpm and cuts cold, clean with out walking the blade. An abrasive chop saw cuts at around 3200rpm is loud very hot and Slow. Abrasive saws are like $99.00. Porter cable and so on.

[@davidconaghan6091]

where are you going to park that big girl to keep it out of the weather. gotta keep it looking good

[@jimkavalier2831]

Corn 🌽 eating machine! That's a unit!

[@joshuagunderson6065]

Look better with the wider tire not skinny duals

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

That's the problem these old farmers scraping saving every little thing they had in their life some of these farmers have millions of dollars worth of tractors collected and when they die the family comes in and just dumps it all they don't give a damn one bit about the person that died all they want is the money

[@jeremygilbank5378]

This was my dad's combine. He just sold it because my cousin bought a new one and sold dad his old one. My uncle in his 80s retired. So we sold the old 8820 on his sale

[@johnwudarcki9315]

Farmer Grace has a good collection going on. I almost cried when Diesel Creek scraped an old Ford (8-9N) with a loader that might have been a Dearborn loader (factory)

[@jake-f1l]

Hey duffy where are you going to store all the stuff like your trucks,tractor,trailers,combine and all the other small stuff for the winter thanks.

[@OOpSjm]

As he sells the bales off it frees up space.

[@peteparker7396]

@@OOpSjmit’s not tall enough 😂

[@OOpSjm]

@@peteparker7396 Plenty tall for some of the implements currently in the shop shed.

[@jasonnehls1083]

Trucks and trailers don’t have to be inside. All the tractors fit in the shed

[@mikebougher3731]

You forgot the antisieze so things come back apart.

[@dailesperry8256]

Well at least if you own a combine you can do some custom cutting for people if you you finish early buying one makes sense to me

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Chris what model is that chop saw? Didnt sound like you cut anything. Nice thanks your video have a good day.

[@misner3485]

On the KW oil cooling jet broke an caused the failure, guaranteed, I've seen engines on the dyno do that in 5 minutes missing a cooling jet. Aka oil squirter
