John Deere 105 Corn Special- Finishing 2020 Corn Harvest

[@ronelchadwick7110]

Yes older folks know more than this generation will ever will about working.

[@martinestrada1]

Drove one of these for many years in the 70's

[@MikeLoveBuns]

Amazing classic John Deere combine in action! Mike from Missouri

[@FarmerSteveO]

At 9:30, it’s funny how you remember the distinct sound of the final drive gear whine, especially when you pull back on the variable speed with the sound of that in-line six engine!

[@lesterpenner8786]

Oh man lots of memories watching the old 105. I used to run a 105 as a kid. Ran a 4 row corn header and went as fast as the engine had power to run it.

[@dgreathouse10]

Like how you respect your grandpa

[@wagonerjared]

Guys like your grandpa are a wealth of experience and knowledge.

[@robertmueller3355]

We started off with an old 95 dad kept it and Bought a 105. Both had four row heads, and we could combine five rows of beans. both were awesome combines

[@LeonGainous-ue1hi]

I love those combines from 45 on up

[@ronzezulka6646]

105 runs pretty sweet.

[@nickkercheval2704]

Owned and ran. 95 in the 70s. Chevy gas engine. Put a good sample in the 80 bu tank. Fan in the upper right corner of the cab blew dirty air on you. Different world from my S670! Memories.....

[@truthandfreedom885]

My Dad had two 105's and we ran them for months every harvest. Barley , spring wheat, in July and August then millet, flax and finally sunflowers usually in November. Started running them when I was 9 years old.

[@henrivanbemmel]

Does such an old machine still work properly? Does it leave crop in the field or take too long? Just curious.

[@truthandfreedom885]

I think an experienced operator could set the combine up to catch close to the same amount of crop, but even if you could get the parts, keep them running and find enough operators to run the machines a JD 105 would not make any economic sense to run. In my opinion depending on the size of the operation at the very oldest of a machine would be the John Deere 8820 Titan 2 would be the oldest, smallest combines to make sense to run. And unless it was about a thousand acre farm that would still be too small. But if you ask 10 people you'll get 10 different opinions.

[@Thewaywefarm]

Another great video! Sure was great seeing you guys run in Rantoul again.

[@Vfh........y]

I went to tech school at Chanute afb....in the winter of '81....man was it cold marching to school in the mornings..good times in the USAF

[@Chevy4x4dawg]

The smile on your granddad,s face was priceless!!!! As proud of that machine as the day it was new!!! And him telling how to operate it. Pride!!!!!! Thanks for making this video! My Granddad always wanted a Deere combine got a used 6600 and the a used 7720 when I was younger. Spent alot of hours with him in the cab!!! I bought a couple of 40 Deeres with 10' grain heads. Granddad was so happy to see me cut wheat with it. He's gone now but have the memories!!!!! Thanks a bunch!!!!

[@duaneRT]

Had a 105 for about 10 years from the early’90s to the early 2000’s, nice combine in it’s day.

[@tomhuepenbecker741]

I really like the older farm equipment run on the farms I'm a big John Deere fan Happy holidays and stay safe from covid

[@bradunruh9188]

Hearing final drive whine brought back memories. Also split doors,if bottom door was closed, top open for air,then closing top door and not placing fingers just right,a finger nail would be lost.

[@rodcody7278]

That's handy dandy nice

[@jekjr1957]

I remember operating a 105 one year cutting beans for a farmer in North Monroe County Alabama. I think it was 1977. Hearing it start up with that belt slapping brought back a ton of memories.

[@marthabecker8734]

when every thing was still metal. i would love to run one of those. there simple and it seems like you could really enjoy it.

Hi it's Don my first combine I ran was a 105 brings back the good old days ! Nice Drone footage tell your grandpa hang on to that machine you don't see them around anymore .

[@RennerStockFarms]

Thanks for watching. We have another 105 and a 55, they aren't going anywhere!

[@farmer_4850]

I also have a bin extension on my parts 95 that will also work on a 105 you just spread it out to wider holes to fit the 105 bin.

[@tgh223]

brings back so many memories when i used to run a ole 45 and 95 thank yall so much keep her running

[@leecasper9114]

Good to see some still running out there. We have two 105s (one diesel and other is gas) and a 95 diesel. The 105 diesel has hydrostatic drive. Not very common I'm sure.

I have a 69 105 hydro diesel. Ran a 40 series 8R22” on it. Held 143 Bu dry corn with factory ext. had to dump in old gravity box. Unload Auger couldn’t get over side of hopper trailer.

[@timmckinley8664]

Last combine my dad owned was a 105 corn special. I wonder how different things would be if John Deere had never switched away from the cab being mounted in the middle.

[@RennerStockFarms]

That's interesting to think about!

[@cntrystud36]

I ran a 105 open cab in a rice field over a summer when I was a kid. Ran it about 3 days and had enough and quit lol

[@timnewman1172]

Hey man is that a diesel 105? I own 3 95s 1 corn special. Then 2 55s I love these machines really want a 105 cs one day!

[@georgestone1485]

I used my grandfather's JD 95 combine to harvest 250 acres of corn with a three row header from 1970 - 2000. my mom bought a new JD combine in 1995 and quit raising corn. I am sad since both mom and dad passed on before they sold the farm for 2- 300,000 sq ft+ shopping centers.

[@richconroy7346]

LOVE this video. The quote "she's a dandy" made me smile. I attended HS in Belleville IL, but am from Nebraska. Is that 105 a diesel? My dad had a 95, but our wheat acreage (and his 3 drills pulled by a 4wd Wagner tractor) was way ahead of what even a 105 could do, so he hired custom cutters to take off some of our wheat. He did start growing corn, but I don't think he had a corn header for the 95, so I'm not sure how we harvested that. The inside the cab shots are great, but it seems like the video is backwards (things that are supposed to be on the right are on the left, etc).

[@RennerStockFarms]

Thanks for watching! Yes I had some camera difficulties and for some reason it flipped a couple shots. What ever happened to your Wagner 4wd?

[@richconroy7346]

@@RennerStockFarms Everything got auctioned off when he passed away in 1973. Around the early 1990s, I happened to be driving some backroads in that same county; I turned a corner and there it was sitting in a field looking like it was still getting used. I think it was a WA 14. BTW, I have an ION Air Pro 2 action cam, and it does the same thing--just randomly records one video with the image flipped so left is right.

[@waradmiral7916]

Is this a diesel 105? Expanded wire for a bin extension would be so pro.

We ran a 105 diesel hydro for 15 years. Pump was set up max with a second radiator to keep it cool. Shelled a bunch of 200+ BPA corn pushing a 643 corn head. Shelling corn we would remove the bottom screen, tailings elevator belt and cover the tailings auger trough. We had a speed up pulley for the clean grain elevator. In really good corn we could put 1000 bushels an hour through it in a long field with an auger wagon.

[@SilverGleaner]

I'm not a Deere man but a video like this inspires me to look for a nice Gleaner G or CII. Been some nice ones I've passed on with no shed space but I could rent space or been thinking on building a 50 or 80 foot extension to my shop. Even if I tarped one for awhile, better than the scrappers gobbling them up. I do have an E that I've had since 1988 or so. Also have an L2 and R52 but they aren't toys.

[@greggergen9104]

Is that the original corn head, or is that a newer generation corn head? Looks like the same corn head as the 4400.
