NEW HOLLAND TR86 Twin Rotor Combine

[@dustinbeckley9865]

Good ole TR 86. The first combine I learned to operate. I love it when you put these classic yellow machines up for everyone to enjoy!!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@RJ1999x]

I bought a TR86 in 1995 used, at 8000 hrs we gutted it and rebuilt the machine, at 11000 hrs the Cat 3208 engine failed. I bought a TR98 to replace it, put a reman 3208 in the 86 and my brother in law bought it, and is still going. Was an absolutely amazing machine that just kept running

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

Sweet new holland! Thanks for sharing these classics!

[@bigtractorpower]

[@jg2864]

We had two of the soybean and rice specials and there wasn’t anything that could out cut them. It would eat an 8820, gleaner, or case up. Down here in Louisiana we had tie vines really bad and the new Holland would handle them well. At times you would get into a patch of vines and it seemed like the whole field was coming right to you in the cab lol. We loved those old machines !!! I want to say we had the TR96’s I can’t remember it’s been 20 years. But honestly we had 3 JD 88 series combines, and 2 gleaners and nothing would stay running all season but the new hollands. We sold them all except the two TR’s

[@TheBayoutransplant]

I was service manager for a sperry New Holland dealer in Oregon when the tr70 was introduced. Had a cat 3208. Was very innovative for its time.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Sperry-New Holland was a strong company. I hope to get to film a TR70 some day.

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍. I hope to find a TR96 to film. I would really like to find a TR95. When the TR95 was new I thought it was the coolest combine around.

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

We used have a New Holland Tr75 then 95 and we have 96 for soybeans with gps and 99 for corn harvest hope you some

[@bcdieselsofficial]

@@bigtractorpower we had a New Holland TR85. It was the biggest piece of crap that we ever owned. I’m sure the newer machines are completely different animals but I’ll never know.

[@sevans1178]

The New Holland TR 6 and the Case IH axial flow 16 series combines were the two best machines made during their time.

[@bigtractorpower]

[@shaunarchangel3872]

Cool looking combine.

[@lobbyrobby]

We still have a tr96 on our farm we use every year. It's been a long time but I think I remember having a tr85 too

[@bigtractorpower]

The twin rotor combines are nice. I remember how modern a TR 6 seemed when they were new. I really want to find a TR95, 85 and 75 to film. They seemed so huge when they were new.

[@generationll]

The twin rotor concept has proven its self since 1975

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes it has. First rotary combine. First Twin Rotor.

[@bcdieselsofficial]

@@bigtractorpower New Holland definitely made the first rotary combine, but I think International Harvester perfected the rotary design with their axial flow model.

[@polishprick78]

I have a Tr 70 with 1100 engine hours. It’s a gem. I bought a 970 24 foot head. I will adapt it. My main combine is R62 Gleaner. I put new s cubes in the TR 70

[@bigtractorpower]

Two very nice combines. Thank you for sharing.

[@kent4799]

In the late to mid 80's many of the parts on New Holland combines were interchangeable with John Deere. We had a custom harvesting operation then with John Deere combines. One of the farmers we cut for in Vicksburg Ms. operated two New Hollands and when he couldn't get a part he'd visit me. I had a large part truck with lots of parts.

[@bigtractorpower]

I did not know that.

[@jimmystrain5943]

Nice old combine

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍

[@robertdaly9036]

Never really understood why Ford left the agricultural market. Nice video as usual btp...... 👍👍

[@bigtractorpower]

In 1991 they decided to focus on auto manufacturing. They had been looking to leave Agriculture machines since the early 1980’s. They were in talks with Sperry Rand to sell them Ford Ag in the early 80’s. They then reversed course and decided to buy New Holland. Ford New Holland became the 3rd largest farm equipment maker in the world overnight. This added value to the company. In 1991 Ford struck a deal with Fiat by trading New Holland for a Fiat European truck division. It was a win win for both companies.

[@robertdaly9036]

@@bigtractorpower Thank you btp for the explanation... Wish I could share your considered explanation....

[@lawnfarmer]

Maybe a win win for the companies but a lose lose for the customer. Ford was so much better than any Fiat built,then or now.

[@JEDI-MAQUINAS]

[@brad5750]

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I yes me destroyed a TR with a 3208 V8 cat back in the early 80's. Downed corn in a rocky field and a rock trap that was blocked. The granite type rock destroyed the inner frame that supported the rotors and after 3 weeks at the dealer then 4 trips back to the dealer the combine was declared unusable and sold for parts. No insurance. That season before the rock incident I buried the combine do much that 3 tractors couldn't pull it out. We had to pay a wrecker company with TWO wreckers to winch it out. Bad bad season. Thank god my family was there to support me.

[@bigtractorpower]

That is a harsh season. Hopefully it is a once in a lifetime event.

[@adamkruskama8455]

We had a tr 95 with some 96 upgrades. It was a machine that did all of our crops. 30 some. But not extremely well. Radishes were its claim to fame. And that’s what we originally bought it for. Everything else our neighbors case 2188 did better and or the other neighbors 8820 titan 2. Thing I loved about it was the easiest to clean out grain tank I’ve ever been around.

[@bigtractorpower]

The TR95 always looked like a monster combine in the 1980’s. I hope to get to film one some day.

[@alicameyers3224]

Could you combine clover seed with this machine?

[@adamkruskama8455]

@@alicameyers3224 if you had the clover plates installed and the small grain concaves it did very well in red and crimson clover. I never did white clover with it I would probably want vanderzan concaves for landino or Dutch white clover. You need the slow down kit for the wind and you can modify the return. The return elevator was the limiting factor in most small seed as far as ground speed.

[@farmingloverz]

[@stevecunningham2759]

My memory is not perfect but I seem to remember that the TR86/96 was the first to offer header tilt as an option. Is that correct?

[@bigtractorpower]

The Terrain Tracer lateral header float was an option for the TR86 but not a standard item.

[@stevecunningham2759]

bigtractorpower Thanks! It didn’t appear that this machine had tilt. I worked for a dealer for the 86/96 introduction and took three customers to an introductory event at the factory. We flew out of Bloomington IL in the middle of a snowstorm. I think that I still have the belt buckle! We lost the NH contract soon after. I also went on the Allis/Gleaner “Silver Streak” intro of the new R50 and have that buckle too. Nice memories!

[@jamieshields9521]

Interesting history, lucky NH had rotary combine as ex International who working International rotary combine jump ship n gave NH all the details but NH was sued. International won but later on merger would have been end of compensation. TR combine is very popular, as I have 3 mates who own TR85 n there was TR 85 for sale near home. CAT motor was a problem n some of mates have replaced CAT for later engine in model after TR86.

[@danlowery3235]

Jason love your videos! Way off topic is there anyway you could do a video on DMI from Goodfield,IL. I grew up just down the road and have found little information on this company which has since been bought by CaseIH. ThankYou!

It would be neat to do the DMI story. It would require filming several DMI implements. I will see what I can do.

Could a"rice special"be adapted to harvest corn,beans,wheat??.(Sperry-New Holland TR-86)

[@MeneerdeLaat]

I think it's called a "rye" specal.

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes the Rice Special is listed as a Rice/Soybean model. It can harvest corn too. The main thing on all rice combines is heavier duty components. Rice will wear a hole right through an unloading auger.

[@bigtractorpower]

Mud always makes it tough going. Unfortunately more often than not corn in the Rochester area is harvested in the mud. They will just plow this field. I have not ever known any area farm’s to bale corn stalks because of all the wheat straw in the area.

Sorry but I think these were one of the poorest capacity, most complicated combines built. Easily slugged and hard to unslug. Only thing worse is the TR70..... and the old Ford Claas combines.
