TOP 10 Combine Finds of 2020

[@piperdoug428]

Those Holts are amazing, revolutionized the harvesting world, never knew till recently that there was 50ft headers even back then.

[@everythingtractors9332]

Why do the catapillers sound like 2 cylinders?

[@kylekenan2321]

Maybe 2 cylinders fire at the same time. I don't know cats very well.

[@MadMan-zw5gi]

Love that old JD at the beginning

[@bigtractorpower]

The 55 EB is super clean.

[@normanreed572]

Had a 55 for my first self propelled. Started farming with a #12 pull type. Retired running a 7700.

[@michaeldouglas1243]

When I was a kid the old now deceased farmer next to us had one of those. How much they have changed in my 45 years on earth.

[@mattn996]

the new machines are impressive but you gotta love the classic combines. JD55 was a perfect intro!!

[@remmiemax3624]

To answer your question, I have no fav....I love to see Vintage AND ultra modern. It is SO important to NOT loose track of the Vintage equipment. This Channel has the means to keep & show them all! Happy New Year!!!!

[@Snowtruckdriver]

In 1951 my folks moved our family from Northeastern Kansas to Pilot Rock Oregon which is in the northeast corner by Pendleton. My Dad was a "cat" skinner on a wheat ranch the first season. He pulled a model ??? john deere combine on those steep hills and talked about sliding straight sideways on the slick straw. Great video. The first combine I ever ran was Dad's 55 model John Deere in 1961

[@chadtheartist5081]

I could watch a 55 for hours. I did as a kid many of days. And a nice Challenger Combine. Nice find.

[@bigtractorpower]

I grew up watching a 95EB. Those 45/55/95/105 combines are cool machines. Challenger combines are hard to find. It was exciting to get one filmed for the channel.

[@markenge9348]

When I was a kid I got excited when heard my uncle bringing his massey Harris 90 down the road to our farm so that my dad could combine his oats. I was a little guy who could crawl inside to grease the straw walkers among all the 102 grease czerks. No sealed bearings back then. Later on my dad quit picking his corn and a neighbor who had a gleaner (quite an investment back then) custom harvested our corn. Still like seeing Lawrence Bernard's 78 model Gleaner still doing the job over on This Farm Wife KZbin. Soybean Farmer still uses his John Deere 3300 which I saw on your channel as having an original price tag of $16000 back then, a price even my dad could have afforded for a combine.

[@berniemarkley]

My dad moved back to the farm in 1963 and rented a 900 acre farm. He harvested the crop (corn, beans and wheat) with a brand new JD 45, He was the only farmer in our part of east central Illinois who had a self propelled combine it wasn't long before he moved up to a 95EB then eventually a massive 105!!

[@jankotze1959]

1926 Holt is my favorite, looks awesome and never seen one, from the newer ones I like them all, thanks for the great video

[@johndavison7441]

The Claas is simply awesome looking

[@kevinfrerichs8589]

The 9600 with the 12 row corn head, I have owned two of them in my life time, I think they were the most reliable and easy to work on.

[@jeffsnider3588]

I had a Gleaner E and an A-II both were simple and worked well. I guess you can tell I'm old by that admission.

[@rockinhonda]

I run an R-52 now, but a Gleaner Rotary would be a nice video.

[@markreetz1001]

Enjoyed the Holt. It had an engine but still needed to be towed! Dad found a baler and a combine with their own power plants but still needed tractors. He sold them to some Amish farmers. You know those horses don't have PTOs.

[@mikeyoung8126]

My favorite one was the JI case 1660 you don’t see very many of those anymore would love to see more classic machines in 2021

[@bigtractorpower]

A 1660 is a rare sight in the field today.

[@lyndontarrant4548]

Recently inherited a 7720 titan with 2300 hrs. Got a yield monitor and autosteer. Currently working on new interior like seats, air conditioning, mini fridge, lights interior and exterior, and new speakers with a touch screen radio. Its going to look more advanced than a s790

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice project. The 7720 is one of my all time favorite combines.

[@ArmpitStudios]

That first John Deere was the coolest one here. Since there were no Gleaners here, it will have to do.

[@landerson1012]

Could watch that Holt and Cat combo all day. Excellent video!

[@udo5479]

A very good Mix of old and new Iron...

[@corinilfarms8854]

I have to agree with other comments. The Holt and Case 1660 were a real treat. Looking forward to hearing more about those. Thanks for posting, Happy New Year!

[@AndreiTupolev]

I must say though, I love the New Holland combine and tractor combination at the end.

[@craigsibley8161]

Another quality combine video from the BTP playlists 👍👍👍

[@robertpayne2717]

MY dad started farming in the 1950s His first tractor was an electric start diesel 730 John Deere he farmed cotton rice and beans his first combine was a JD 95 b and he was growing medium grain rice which is higher yielding than long grain... he had a storm come through and the rice crop lodged he had one field of 40 scres rice it took him 45 days to cut... of course he did not have grain cart nor did they have variable speed pickup reels and only had 1 truck to haul to the elevator...the rice was cutting about 130 bushel green... He had to haul the rice about 30 miles about 1 load a day was all that he could do...95b had a raspbar threshing cylinder not as efficient as a spiked tooth cylinder for rice...Rice when the grain and heads mature the stalks are still green it makes it tough....

[@robertmusgrave7932]

Disappointed that NO Allis-Chalmers "All-Crops" and no Baldwin (A-C) Gleaners were listed as favorites.

[@bigtractorpower]

I am an Allis fan. I mow my lawn with an Allis-Chalmers B10. Unfortunately the only Gleaner filmed this year was an R62. Hopefully more Gleaners will turn up in 2021. I have an All-Crop video of one harvesting corn that I posted in August 2019.

[@lynwessel2471]

I spent many hours driving a '69 JD 55 Corn Special that looked just like the 55 EB shown plus a straw chopper. It had a 95 engine and could combine beans faster than that one with a 15 ft head.We had it until 3200 hours. For my dad's 80th birthday I bought a Precision scale model which came without a cab. Had custom toy builders add the cab and tank extension and extra lights so it was just like ours. Dad went to a toy show in town and they were there with a second one asking $750 for it. He told them he was the guy who got the first one, said he better go home and increase his insurance coverage on it! Probably should have just kept the real one, but the next owner used it for some years yet. Now I run a 780.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@jj3961261]

I would love to see you do a video of a Tribine working. Ben Dillon a farmer just north of me was the inventor of this combine.

[@bigtractorpower]

I would really like to see that, and as well I’ve never had an opportunity to see one in person

[@andrewt248]

The size and speed of that X9. LOL

[@motorcop555]

That Holt!! Oh my goodness! That’s one cool setup!! Super neat find. Thank you!

I have an interview with the owner to release next year.

I was going to ask about a video and interview with the Holt owner. Great piece of equipment.

[@kirklothert3435]

Combines have come a long way. Whoever would've thought a hundred years ago that there would be combines that can pretty much drive themselves

[@clintonstubbs2319]

I really liked seeing the John Deere X9 combines along with the new CaseIH combine with the classic International Harvester colors.

[@robertburt9071]

I didn't see Massey Ferguson combines 310 410 510 Or older and newer ones and pull type ones Thanks Keep up the good work From Canada

[@joshkranz160]

I enjoyed all the combines, but my favorite had to be the IH 1460 because that's the first combine I can remember riding in as a kid. After running a CaseIH 7240 for the past 4 years, it's hard to believe dad ever got anything done with the old 1460, but at the time that combine seemed like a monster. What will it be like in another 40 years

[@michaelstark703]

Well with that little JD you could never be accused of running any animals over in the field, I think a turtle could out run it.

[@tomholley5464]

the 1460 IH i grew up using a 1440 IH axial flow

[@johndavidstutts]

We ran a 55 JD square back when I was a kid. Not fast, but got it done. Was a big improvement from the 45 round back it replaced

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍 I grew up watching a 95EB. It was a replaced by a 6600. The 6600 looked so huge.

[@scruffy6151]

Happy New Year. Love them all beat doing it by hand.

[@abrahampeters653]

I would like to see more old combines

[@teresajohnson849]

Thanks for the combine video The jd 55 eb was nice

[@haroldmillsap3845]

Enjoyed them all, but loved the antiques and crawler tractors.

[@unclebs4732]

WWhhaatt.... no Gleaner! I'm shocked. Very nice video, love to watch the big machines work.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

my dad had a55 John Deere combine when I was a child

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool.

[@PSchuler92]

I didn’t know Challenger made Combines, or is a rebranded Massey Fergusson or Fendt combine? But the Holt is my favourite in this video, you can see the foundation’s for the modern combine in it.

[@Chisszaru]

Love that New Holland CR 8.90. I grew up with NH, as a farm near the village my parents live, where i also grew yp uses NH machinery and another farm nearby also uses a NH combine. I hope to see a NH CR10.90 get filmed as that would be amazing. Not many of them here in Sweden, but it's always amazing to see one

[@bigtractorpower]

I would like to film a CR9.90 and 10.90. The 8.90 seems to be the main seller here. I do have a new Revelation model lined up for the channel.

[@Chisszaru]

@@bigtractorpower the CR10.90 is the main seller in Sweden, which i find a bit odd, as it's the biggest combine from NH. I suppose the markets are different in different countries

[@lucaslouagie999]

i find it incredible how big combines have gotten over the years

[@bigtractorpower]

They have grown in size and speed a bunch.

[@Doch1112]

i find it incredible how expensive combines have gotten over the years

[@thomasschulte9125]

Surprised you didn't include the White 9700 you talked about a few months ago. That was an awesome machine for it's time.

[@1936case]

The new stuff is neat but that Holt was just way cool to see!

[@elisummy379]

They were all interesting, but the 1460 caught my eye

[@bige9055]

The combine #3 was cool to see, but there was some serious competition going on with the system. 👍👍😎😎

[@garybarrett6581]

OK no GLEANER!! still good video!! l be watchin!!

[@georgeweaver3846]

My favorite was the 1926 Holt combine. I've seen them in museum's before, but not in the field.

[@bigtractorpower]

The Holt was a huge opportunity to show farming history in action.

[@danielheckmann4898]

Nice Holt combine. And the Lexion is a good choice 👍🏻

[@shawnfox8002]

I enjoyed them all the dozens pulling the thrasher was especially nice.

[@cbalducc]

I remember the John Deere 95 R. It was a common combine among Mississippi Delta rice farmers.

[@bigtractorpower]

It would be cool to find a Rice Special to film in action today.

[@interman7715]

1460 INTER 👍

[@nathiolifant6842]

New Holland gets me everytime.

Glad to make the top 10 thanks Jason

[@larjomack8576]

My first self propelled combine was a John Deere 45 round back. Then I later got a John Deere 95 Corn Special square back. Boy, I really thought I was Something then. 😉

[@bigtractorpower]

Great combines.

[@nickkercheval2704]

I found the Holt to be an amazing machine from almost 100 years ago. Surprised it hand a grain tank. Thought all old machines were sackers

[@bigtractorpower]

I have an interview with the owner of the Holt That I will share next year and he talks about some of the modern comparisons having the Draper style head and the grain bin and unloading on the go.

[@nickkercheval2704]

@@bigtractorpower look forward to it! First combine I remember on the farm was an IH with a cub motor. Crank start, sacker, maybe a 5 ft cut. Early, mid 50s in my memory. It was probably older.

[@jamieshields9521]

Holt was awesome old combine, would like pull types like IH.

[@bigtractorpower]

Stay tuned for more pull type combines.

[@bigtractorpower]

Those are two combines I would like to find to film some day. The oldest Gleaner I have filmed so far is a K.

[@poppie1946]

For its age that's a sweet looking 55 John Deere, One question, sounds like it has a rod knock as it goes by the other direction and it's getting close to letting go, what is that clatter noise coming from the engine.Our 69 55 corn special John Deere never sounded like that.

[@bigtractorpower]

I do not know. This is a one family combine. It is well taken care of since it was bought. I would think it’s in top working order.

Imagine how long it would take to harvest 50 ac with the jd at the beginning.

[@Pete-from-Tn]

Back in the day, our JD 40 with 3 row bean head. It took so long you felt like screaming. Plus the bin I think held 30 Bushel's. Corn head was a 2 row, big time farming. But grain was almost perfect. Could use it for seed right out of the bin. When we moved up to the 55, now that was fast.
