IH 303 combine cutting beans 20ft at a time

[@Ham68229]

Wow, haven't seen one of these old girls running in years... I've said this on many other farming channels that run older equipment, these old machines may be old but, they're still far superior in many many ways. That 303 sounds good for her age. Thanks for sharing. Cheers :)

That 303 is picking cleaner beans then brand new John Deere s that I've seen on other farm u tubers

My grandpa had a 303 back in the 80’s. Small farm, less than 100 acres.

Combine looks about 3-4 years old! Lot of service left yet to go!

My dad had a 303 as his first self propelled. It didn't have a cab on it and I think the head was.13' I am sure it couldn't have handled 20' head even in the crops raised back in the early sixties when he had it. I don't know what the difference is but I know th those beans they are cutting are a big yield difference. Something is different here.

A lot has changed in lube oil and grease since then. Beans that dry you can harvest with a badminton racket and a sack tho... those would probably shell out if he honked at them.
