JOHN DEERE Titan Combines Harvesting Corn

Big Tractor Power is out in the field with a pair of JOHN DEERE Titan combines harvesting corn. In this video viewers will see and hear JOHN DEERE 7720 Turbo and 6620 Titan II combines at work in a Western New York Corn Field. The video will share the combines production history, specifications and list price tag. Viewers will also see a STEIGER Cougar III Automatic 4wd tractor and OXBO dump cart haling the harvested corn away from the combines.

That old Steiger sure sounded sweet when pulling away from the dump truck.

[@sharpshooter7127]

Old school equipment still getting it done 👍

[@mattletarte6098]

They seem to run like tops that 7720 is pretty quick

[@SimonKL11]

Great to see older deeres still at work😉👍 nice video again👍👍

[@greg10469]

Geesh! That 7720 can run circles around that 6620. One can really see the hp and cleaning area differences. Most 6620's I've seen get a 4 row corn head but have seen them with 6 and 8 row too. 7720's are pretty popular here in upstate NY. Great video!

[@peterm6128]

Jason, another great video. I really like the variety you have and how you provide the specifications and costs. You also expertly show the operation with drone shots. I am a commercial drone pilot and commend you on your effective use of a drone.

[@xxkrazykrewxxl6254]

These are my favorite series combines from back when they used to put hydrostatic transmissions in them

[@mrourcanada8964]

Thanks Jason this is my favourite series of combines from John Deere

[@piperdoug428]

first combine i ever ran after moving to this country was the 8820 T2 that came with the farm, traded it off about 20 yrs ago, but found out a friend is still using it, old beasts just run n run

[@marknewman1971]

Cool seeing those older John deere combines working in the field. Love sound of that stagger, She sounded like a beast.

[@bigtractorpower]

The Cougar has been on the farm at least 30 years now. It’s a cool tractor.

[@medrn11]

I still think these are some of the best looking combines. Much smaller but I love the looks.

[@garfield89dude32]

Proof right here you don't need to drop a million plus dollars on brand new machines and equipment to get the job done. They may not be the prettiest but looks are secondary when it's time to get the crop from the field to the bin!

[@denniseft6460]

All depends on how many acres you want/have to cover.

[@josephhicks2939]

Plus you don’t have Big AG controlling the maintenance (& software upgrades) like they do on newer machines.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Yea but the x9 combine doing 30 acres an hour with a 16 row corn head with a 460 bu grain tank....these combines are doing 166 bu and 190 bu with 6 row corn heads.

[@Blackwellll3066]

@@ROCK-Loveswomen that when ya buying a combine that can do 30-40 acres per hour ya are probably harvesting a few thousand acres vs a few hundred acres ....

Tough Yields for us this year in this neck of the Woods due to the drought, on the flip side we have had some beautiful harvest Weather.

[@fritssmedema]

Great machines! And a nice sound!

[@noahater5785]

It’s definitely a good thing the tractor pulling the dump cart has dual tires or that would have been embarrassing if the tractor tipped over as the cart is being dumped

[@otodompo]

wow besar banget traktornya,, seperti miniatur di videonya saya

[@ericteipen]

We used a dump cart like that some 40 years ago for one season and they suck. Too tall to unload into on the go and you couldn't put but about 200 bu in them or they would tip while unloading. They weren't designed for grain harvesting. I sure as hell wouldn't put 400bu of shelled corn in it and trust it.

[@greggergen9104]

Kind of defeats the purpose of running a grain cart.

[@joemueth4077]

Was also worried about tipping.

[@zacharydettman3783]

If you load the outside tire it’s not as tippy

[@josephhicks2939]

Is the OXBO modified? I expected a big dump on the semi, but it was funneled to the center.

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes they added a funnel to flow the corn into the truck.

[@zacharydettman3783]

Makes for a more controlled dump

[@ArmpitStudios]

That’s a great looking, well-used Steiger.

[@DavidThurmond-l6o]

They do here in west Tennessee they got to have 4 big as combines with 35 or 40 foot headers just to combine a 1 acre field dont make no sense they want to be big shots as they say

Still getting it done.

@@brandonwood1397 I believe they also use these dump carts for crops like green beans, potatoes, sugarbeets, and a few other ones that I can’t quite think of off the top of my head at the moment

[@mfreund15448]

Called using what you have! Dump trailer is not the best for shelled corn but it works and can use it for silage. Jason did say it was a dairy farm.

[@robwar2288]

It’s different but he doesn’t have to Replace a $1,700 joystick when it burns up in the Cab out of the Blue! Oh yeah then you can’t get one for 3 months! Or like buying a Kinze 1305 and realize Kinze wasn’t authorized to use the LSW on anything bigger then a 1105! That was awesome, at $6,000 a piece of you could find them! Or having Spindles snap off going through the Field! This is way further ahead! My opinion. Plus he is $1.2 million less spent!

[@nickkercheval2704]

I had both a 6620 and a 7720 and 3 643 corn heads. The 7720 is still running on a neighbors farm. They also have a 643 that I bought new in 1977 that I ran on a 6600 at that time. I sold that high tin 643 in 1990 along with the 6620 to another farmer who ran it till this year when it came back close to home at my neighbor’s! Had a 9500 after the 7720 and now a S670 and 608C

[@dalemyers3945]

Right there is what happens when regular maintenance is done, probably easier to work on and the profits are in the bank not at the dealership.

[@jacobbell1584]

Always been a fan of the 20 series combines. We had both a 6620 and 7720 before going to 9500’s.

[@patrickglasser5719]

We had a 105 on our family farm then after many years my dad upgraded to the 7720. It was a great machine.

[@Stfa029]

I love these titan combines. I’ve always wanted a 8820 Titan ll

[@electriceye3942]

Those 20 series were great looking machines.

[@bigtractorpower]

They sure are. One of my favorites of all time.

[@Frontpagefab]

The 7700 was considered huge when it came out, now it is dwarfed by today's combines. I appreciate the technology in today's equipment, but really love the equipment from the 70's and 80's.

[@anderspedersen6750]

First big combine I drove was an 8820 in ND, can't remember how big of a head but supposdly the biggest you could get early/mid 90s. Coming from Norway driving a small Claas with a 10 fot head was a bit of a change.

[@noahater5785]

The American flag hanging off the unloading pipe of one of the combines is a nice touch at 2:40

😁👍🇺🇸

[@rayrussell6258]

Having seen some of your other videos, this farm seems less efficient. The previous farms emptied crops directly into trucks, moving alongside the combine in operation. This one stops machine, loads into a middle step trailer, then takes trailer to dump into truck. The equipment in the middle step is extra cost and time. Ground seems able to handle the truck without getting stuck. I don't see why they use the extra step.

[@dwightl5863]

As I see it I don't think the unloading auger on the combine will clear the extra extension that is on the grain cart. Also possible the dual wheels on the Steiger would keep the grain cart from getting close enough to the combine when on the go. IMHO

[@rayrussell6258]

@@dwightl5863 your explanations are plausible, but my question was why even have the Steiger and grain cart there. Just run the truck and trailer alongside the combine and unload the bin directly.

[@dwightl5863]

@@rayrussell6258 Could be any number of reasons. I did see that the semi-truck did have extensions. Perhaps that makes it to high for the combines to unload on the go. Also a truck could be challenged to service two combines harvesting at the same time.

[@rayrussell6258]

@@dwightl5863 they only have one Steiger and cart for the 2 combines so servicing both is no different, truck is higher capacity also; I just have to think this farmer doesn't need the money and is loose with his methods. This is one of the biggest negative complaints around here about farmers .... people hear farmers complain about costs and profits even though they pay so little property tax, but they are seen doing this type of inefficient method and don't change it. Oh well, video was an interesting watch, being able to be near equipment in the field rather than watching it as I pass by from the road. Aligning combine with crop rows is easier than I thought.

[@dwightl5863]

@@rayrussell6258 Well we have heard your opinion. The farmer has his reasoning for the way he farms. Perhaps he'll reply.
