John Deere 12A combine at rollag WMSTR 2009 In Wheat

[@alhemshorn5207]

You were crowding it a bit, and remember when that was made? Wheat, at a maximum of 100 bushels to an acre, was a bumper crop. Most fields were less. I used the 12 A but with hydraulic cly to raise and lower it. I used the AC all-crop, but they would plug in the straw rack. It came out with a Rub bar, which wore out fast. The John Deere had a rasp bar, but one could order a rub bar for clover, etc. To do a good job the field had to be dry & no high humidity. The 12-A was the best Combine. You couldn't crowd it much with the little LUC engine. I knew one person put in an extra straw kicker in an AC combine & it worked great but lost some grain out with the straw. Fun to watch these young guys trying to run these old rigs like the $250.000 Combine of today. Just slow down a little guys. They did a good job cleaning grain & we never needed 1000 acres to pay for our combine. great video Thanks

I have never seen one of these working. Allis Chalmers combines were more common by far. I spent a lot of time in, around and on them working on them during harvest time before dad got a self propelled Gleaners. Don't miss the chaff falling on my sweaty skin and in my eyes at all. Allis Chalmers also had a good round bailer to. Don't see them anymore! Good to see them working and not me having to work on them!

Great video, I have one that I pull with a unstyled ar. Ran in 93 bpa wheat and done a great job cleaning.

When this combine was new in 1947 what was the average bpa then and how well would this handle a really high bpa of wheat now ?

If it got just a very little bit humid, which it always did, that 12a would always checkup. Way before sundown X

beautiful job there!

[@Haderg33]

It ran that lot of wheat good. It probably would not do that much Bach then when roundup ready crops never existed
