New Holland 1880 Forage Harvester Chopping Corn Silage

[@mikeblanchette637]

Love this video! My uncle had a 1880 in late 60's early 70's with the Ford Heavy Duty Industrial engine. What an experience riding on that machine with him chopping corn here in Vermont.

[@ScottPykare]

That open station would be loud, hot and dirty. That's farming at its best. Awesome stuff Mike!!😁👍

[@danielmcfadden1]

Great video! My neighbors where I grew up had an 1880 with cab, it had the Cat engine. They pulled Badger forage wagons behind it, they had 4 of those… I always liked how loud it was, when I would hear it running I would hurry up and climb a tree in the field tree line, just so I could watch it in action. I was around 7 years old when I started that.

[@davidwillison2815]

Instantly transported back to the early 1970’s. Thank you Mike……

[@larrykeener7900]

Great video! Thanks Mike. I love seeing the old iron out in the field.

[@rodyoutsey8786]

Nice! He was marchin right along with that ol girl! Thanks for taking the time to video the old stuff too.

[@tonycoupland6281]

Definitely sounds like a great running older chopper!! Really like your video!! Very much appreciated!! Thanks again for sharing them 😊!!

[@SimonKL11]

Crazy to think how big the choppers got now👍😉 the classic machines are always great to see👍👍

[@gregverhasselt8357]

Brings back childhood memories. Neighbor had a fox chopper just like it

[@robertburt9071]

Great memories knew a guy bought one in early seventies and did custon work Thanks for the video He had a cab had cat engine

[@richardjohnson5883]

Nothing sounds like an older New Holland chopper! We still have our 717super , they are a good machine.

[@garlandhenry6792]

Love those old self propelled choppers - - great video thanks

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Mike. I really like that NH chopper. Seems fairly simple. Of course it's a seat on top of a chopper body.

[@onionfriend9799]

I LOVE the old sp silage choppers 😍. There were 4 of these NH 1880s within a 5 mile radious when I was a kid and in the morning waiting on the side of the county road for the school bus I could hear the Diesel engines in them all over the valley in the morning air. Everybody that used them now wears hearing aids

[@miguelamaya6246]

Thank you for sharing your video with us...

[@rogereide]

Old school silage harvest.....the good old days?

[@delbennett4745]

Mike I thought you was young!!! Great to see the classics still going

[@barrybardo3249]

Old girl getting the job done👍

[@lythitan88]

The fresh produce you harvest looks so delicious

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great video of some old Iron still getting it done!

[@mattiabianchi4182]

It's fantastic to see this old machine at work.

[@onealfarms9967]

Just opened up my corn field today with a fox max 2 chopper Detroit 8v72 had to do a little work on the belts but it works great

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Oldie but goodie! 😉 Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@angelablystone7084]

Nice! We had 2 diff Fox's, was to young to remember the first one. 2nd one was a Max2 ? I still remember the sound of it starting and chopping. Wore it out then got a 5400 jd... always remember dad complaining about that thing. Then got a jd 5830. Put over 8k hours on it was a good machine. All custom chopped now

[@samspade4634]

Can you still get parts for that old machine? (meaning you) lol... I shouldn't tease as I was around before they started making those choppers. You were right, I do not remember anyone having a 3 row head chopper when I was young that was big time - today my friends chop 10 rows and move much faster... Great video Mike. I am always wondering what we will see next. You do a great job!

[@mr.fiction5564]

Nice to see Versailles! Got family there farming. The Heitkamp family. I’m from fort Loramie myself

[@Pinecrofthillfarm]

Had one we chopped with when I was younger ours was gas powered and cables to I loved that thing

[@Agriculturespotter]

Really great machine there!

[@theda850two]

Nice video! That is a great way to cut some corn quickly, and with a forage Box that size, you had better be working on fairly level land unless you weigh that chopper down very heavily!

[@martingardener90]

Lovely old machine and great video!

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video mike, love that chopper

[@tractorman1466]

Hi Mike a custom harvester from where i live used to have one like this but with a cab and back in the days he was a big one. He was the first around here that used sp choppers Anyone who passed a field where he was running this machine stopped by and looked

[@csil2863]

Great video! Thanks 😊

[@jeremyswindell2330]

in my neck of the woods mike! I have family in versailles! Nice equipment!

[@jeffreyshier9021]

I love the legacy equipment.

[@piperdoug428]

I bought a really straight 880, needs all new bearing seals n chains but it's not been abused with rocks n iron, hope to run her for 2022

[@delbutler885]

If you are chopping hay they are still ok. If you are chopping corn you get much better feed with a machine with a kernel processor.

[@koenmarist7857]

Very very nice mike

[@BRPFan]

Never seen one like it! Thanks!

[@tonyburelle6633]

Great as always

[@joeroy02]

Great video Mike.

[@AndreiTupolev]

What a wonderfully ramshackle looking thing. Seems quite handy for tight spaces though.

[@tractoragriculture1352]

great work 😍

[@johnclarkkitner9556]

That was neat old chopper

[@sidewinder7371]

Really enjoyed the show last tried to see you but i missed you on wed.

[@YouT-DJ]

Hah - that's all that's inside one of those big Claus or JD units. Never saw one f these very cool. Nice wagons

Claas

[@JDrostAgricultureVideoNL]

Very nice video

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

That would have been a big deal where I come from,my Dad and his friend chopped 200 acres with a single row new holland pull type...it seemed like it took forever.

[@theda850two]

Ya, That would take forever! :)

[@donnebes9421]

Biggest we ever had was a two head and it also took forever.

[@erickduran9207]

Llegó a mis manos una máquina así

[@koolman2021]

Awesome 💯

[@scottthornton3427]

Love those forage videos!

[@Blazefork]

Still does a great job, I still use a heavily modified Farmhand F600 chopper, gets the job done and sounds good doing it.

[@farmhandmike]

Man I'd love to see that thing in action sometime.

[@Blazefork]

@@farmhandmike there are a couple videos on you tube we put up about 10 years ago, one more recent. ...I'll see if I can find them..ihfan2 channel has two of them and one is under my thumbnail I think

Thanks Mike, that was great 👍👍's up.

[@frankdeegan8974]

A farmer near us in southern Wisconsin had a Uni back in about 1958, open station the operator sat in the back of the machine right next to the air cooled wisconsin v4 engine, doing two rows at a time, it made a lot of noise just with the v4 and the poor excuse for a muffler if you dare call it a muffler.

[@Allen7243]

We had an 1880 harvester but with the gas Ford engine. Harvester was great but not the motor, but that's was also when gas was cheap.

[@LtColDaddy71]

What about the AC and massaging seat? Does Bluetooth and auto steer work with open cabs? You come up with the best stuff! Weird is me.

[@Haloguyxboxftw]

Hey, you're pretty close to my hometown!

[@treetop5752]

Miss it

[@udo5479]

First time i thought why this v8 sounds like a lawn mower.then i mentioned this was the atv youre riding on....lol...

[@charleshagenbuch6078]

Was that a variable or hydro transmission? I Was that alfalfa or beans in that first field. I was waiting to see how they change the wagons next to a bean field?

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

My neighbors had a Field Queen in the 70's with a screaming Detroit diesel that they called the "Jimmy." Wow, was that noisy!

[@farmhandmike]

I just videod a Hesston Field Queen and I’ll have a video in the near future about it

[@randymonninger9913]

Way we chop corn we had selfperpal foxchoper three row

[@paulsonaksones]

What year was this made?

[@steviechalmers1218]

Great looking setup , but that would be deafening,, and dangerous with no protection in the operating position!!!!

[@dmchristner]

😁👍👏👏

[@jamied.2734]

Is this on St Rt 121 north?

[@farmhandmike]

Yes

[@brysonriley4490]

That field would take forever to chop with that chopper

[@erickduran9207]

Buen día alguien podría decirme que motor usaba está máquina

Cat V8

Your sound is over-modulated.

[@johnmull3840]

Duel exhaust must be a 3406 cat😂👍

[@johnlee6054]

Sounds like a gas engine running ?

[@ChevyConQueso]

Sounds nothing like one. 3406 is a straight 6 with a Y pipe splitting into 2. This is a 3150 V8, with true duals, which is one pipe off each manifold. Makes it sound like two 4 bangers fighting each other.

[@delbutler885]

It's an 1150 cat the small Diesel V8 made before the 3208. They are around 180 hp naturally aspirated.

Fun fact that my bosses oldest son Patrick

[@ArmpitStudios]

Cool machine! NH sure made some great stuff back then. One muffler and one straight pipe. 🤓 I’m guessing the one muffler rusted away and they just put on a simple pipe, since they weren’t worried about it being too loud.
