Harvesting Corn with my 70's Combine (first time ever)

so the time has come! we finally are harvesting the corn with the old combine. this is a pretty cool experience and m so happy it worked out. the 1975 John Deere combine eats the corn and makes our harvest!

When working under the header (corn head) Put the cylinder lock out DOWN. If a hydraulic hose blew on the the header lift cylinders. Your dead. at 1:16 it is up. Great videos.

[@thestrugglebusfarm7542]

Hey I live on a farm and we have a combine almost identical to that just it’s the bigger version I can tell from the sound when your in the cab your driving to fast you can hear the sound of grain falling on steel it’s similar to the sound when you start with an empty bin but it comes from underneath your feet this sound indicates you are sending grain through your return elevator meaning you are feeding material through your combine twice this can cause loss out the back try slowing your variable speed to 2 once you learn the sound you can play with your variable speed across the field to maximize efficiency I hope this helps and makes sense to you have fun and be safe

[@philipkimber6302]

we had those combines on the farm in the uk. Those combines had real handles to get things started, not just buttons. New ones are more comfortable and much faster -but the old ones have a charm

[@scottkaercher1733]

Thats awesome a 70's combine still going. I haven't seen a 70's combine in years.

[@brucedotson4838]

WOW WOW WOW,I was 13 14teen yrs old when I used to run all brands,but,I'm from millersville utah,there is still today a John Deere's dealership there, o my gosh,but,anyway I ran every model and it is so touching to see this I about cried to see it like it was yesterday...oh,my dad owned three welding shops there and I must of worked for all the farmers and I know my welded and built the farmers to where they r today...Thank you so so much!B

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Thanks for that comment. Sounds like you know a lot lots about this than I do haha.

[@ianhaggart1438]

Hope she does you well. Love the old simple things 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@laurasimpson2870]

Let er rip. Totally enjoyed watching the corn being harvested. Thanks.

[@gilbertchacon3451]

Hats off to the let her rip crew for keeping it going ! Old time farming at it's best ! Keep it going and Gods speed !🤠

[@richconroy7346]

My god, I love this video. He's funny and lighthearted. He also explains some stuff about combines and how to check how they are doing (I've check the row behind them for seeds, adjusted sieves, adjusted fan speeds and cylinder speeds), and then has to deal with a dang zit on his face, poor guy. My experience was more with Masseys of this era (760, 750, 850), an identical John Deere 4400, but in wheat, and Gleaner L2s -- all in wheat.

[@khristopherwenger4856]

Thank you for showing the video I finally know what the name of my grain cart is now but I do have to ask you next time you get underneath the combine head please put the safety in place on the hydraulic cylinder don't want to see get crushed farmer got him self killed by doing such a thing

[@khristopherwenger4856]

How many bushels of corn on the grain cart

[@timmywade1313]

Gota love such a spacious cab lol I have a 3300

[@jdquebedeaux]

Nice old combine! May want to at least put jack stands or header stops to keep it from falling on you if the hydraulics lose pressure though. Good luck with harvest!

[@joemueth4077]

Brings back good memories. Grew up on twin John Deere 7700 combines . Even had a row crop 6 row bean head. Could cut beans faster than the platform header. Thanks for going old school.

[@JT-ee1ii]

I had a 4400 with a three row head and it's main problem it was severely underpowered, I can imagine a 4 row in decent corn. Remember, about 3 or 4 kernels in a square foot equates to about a bushel an acre loss. Enjoyed your video!

[@countrygent4]

If you have 4400 Diesel with the 329 engine you can add a turbo from a 301 cubic inch Allis Chalmers 190XT, 200, 7000, 7010, or 7020. Turn the pump up 10% and the two together will add 20% power and performance.

[@digdrivediy]

Pretty sweet getting to go out and try something different. I like seeing that old combine brought back to life. Any combine around here that looks like that usually ends up at a demolition derby! I got to do some farming myself this week so the video is very relatable.

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Might be a good idea for this one haha

[@codys8754]

Man I enjoyed this video. I grew up working summers with my uncles and dad harvesting grains. I enjoy the farm life. Nice green machine! Keep her running!

[@adamsherm29]

Zach Johnson would love this

[@robertpayne2717]

Some of the corn loss is from cob loss at the header. From cobs hitting the row dividers... that means you are having ears snapping off the stalks and hitting the header with some shatter.

[@markmccarron3643]

The good old days thank god there over

[@avenheavner108]

Great video man keep up the great work! Have a great rest of your day!

[@jamesmelton6282]

Reminds me of the old 55 model combine i use to use on my grandparents farm. The end pieces on corn head my grandpa use to call them teeth. Inside you have the conclave and the screen decks and straw walkers. Let er rip

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

I love seeing comments of this bringing back memories for people! thank you

[@LatinDanceVideos]

Old machine like that def keeps your capital cost down. Finding the sweet spot between operating costs, yield, hours worked, farm size is an art. Now I’m curious how your operation can scale up.

[@lamarbrown7733]

Let er rip think u for sharing this video with us and I really enjoy watching all of your videos keep them coming think u

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Thanks Lamar

[@ronniesorter1888]

Nice old combine. I learned how to combine corn with a Massey Ferguson 760 with an 8 row 30 in. corn head.

[@T-Down-Approved]

My family has a 6600, 6620 and 9500 John Deere that all run a 6 row and I have a massey 510 with a 4 row all of them are awesome machines

[@jeffskalicky7634]

You interested in selling that MF 510? My guess it's 36" but 30 be better

[@DigginLife21]

🔥🔥🔥 Great Vid my brother

[@gregwooldridge8864]

Remember when I drove my 1st harvester mf 587. Up to a s670 jd now.

[@philipkimber6302]

Btw: those combines catch fire if you don't blow out the rads everyday!!

[@wisconsinfarmerdakotamayr8070]

just a quick safety tip to everyone always use hydraulic safety stops. they can save your life! as seen in 1:19 of the video no hydraulic safety stops. but keep up the good work man.

[@aidencrawford5977]

You were just filling the auxiliary grain tank! Haha

[@bobnelson1428]

Let ‘er Rip ....enjoyed the vlog keep em coming brings back memories from western Canada as a kid we had Thrashing machines not Combines ( old school ) . That dates me doesn’t it have a great day and enjoy your farming.😁😁

That’s not grain it’s the auger on the grain cart. It looks like it though 🤣🤣

[@MaxFluff]

LET 'ER RIP!!! I really like the harvest vids

[@pagrainfarmer]

Let er rip! In 2016 I bought a JD 4400 combine just like yours, except that mine is a 1970 model year. I use it for corn, soybeans, and oats and it has been working great. I enjoyed seeing yours work. When I'm not riding in a combine, I like to watch other people doing it.

[@penndragonharvesting8217]

Let 'er rip an don't lose yer grip! Corn is the best to harvest, at least it's always my favorite! Happy Halloween!

[@everettschmeling8324]

I don’t know if you care, but when you are dumping you should slip the clutch because that auger probably adds an extra 250 pounds, and you could more than likely stress somthin’ to far and it could break. Have fun, and stay safe😀

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

Thank you!

[@tommcallister1497]

Let her rip, so cool remember doing that on uncle's farm many moons ago

[@KenWhiteConstruction]

That’s awesome! It was a blast

[@darrenmisick8039]

i think that this is probably the best video and the best made video i've seen and I don't even like John Deere ......hahaha seriously thats a pretty good combine doing a hell of a job. Are you guys in Ontario? I'm from Alberta with a Massey 760 another old timer.

i used to be called combine eater. was harvesting corn and gobbled up a deer in the combine

We had a deer jump into the corn head , what a mess .

[@mekanikbob]

i never seen a 4400,the smallest we had were 6600 and most deeres were 7700s

They also made a 3300 combine which was a 2 or 3 row corn machine and a 10 ft platform. There are some on KZbin.

This video made me chuckle! So how exactly did you come about acquiring a combine? The ends of the head you called shanks they are snouts. I spent a lot of time in the 90's as a kid riding in a 6600 JD combine with my uncle. Now here I am in my early 30's trying to figure out how to get into farming.

If theres 4 kernels per square feet ur losing a bushel an acre.
