Visiting a Massey Ferguson Combine Parts & Salvage Yard | Tyndall South Dakota | Skorpiks

In this video I visit a Massey Ferguson Combine Parts & Salvage Yard in Tyndall South Dakota.
I was in South Dakota and was told about this place and thought I should check it out since I was close. I met with the owner Rod Skorpic who told me his father started a Massey Dealer here back in 1946. They are no longer a Massey Ferguson dealer but they have a huge inventory of Massey Ferguson combines for salvage and several barns and semi trailers full of new and used Massey Combine part.
I really enjoyed my visit here and if you need parts for an older Massey Ferguson Combine call Skorpics in Tyndall South Dakota at 605-589-3972 or 1-800-284-9104
Thanks for watching and I'll catch you on the next video.

Please take the time to do more of these historical videos- Lots of memories in those fields!!

[@DeBa1226]

Wow, I remember running those Massey combine thru the 60’s and early 70’s until we switched over to Deere.

[@user-zx1ey7jh2o]

Thank you for the information a person who collects old Massey combines needs this information.

[@mikespecht]

My grandfather used a MF 300 combine up until the late 90’s. Two row corn head and a 4 row bean head. He upgraded to a “big” MF 510 2 or 3 years before he retired.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Even though it hurts a bit to see all the classics waiting to be taken apart, it's good to know that other classics can exist because of these spare parts. Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@brianuhing2657]

Thanks Mike My dad had Massey Ferguson combines. It's good to revisit the past. Thanks Mike 👍

[@celerystox]

My father in law still has a couple MF combines and has gotten parts from Skorpics in the past. If you're ever in north-central Missouri you should go visit Danny Bertsch in Bynumville and see all his Minneapolis Molines.

[@ronzimmerman8968]

Cool change of pace!

[@robwar2288]

Wow that Family has been dealing in Massey for almost 80 years!!!!! 😮

[@markrskinner]

Brings back some memories. They were common here in the UK. More boneyards please Mike.

[@DonWelter]

With parts prices being what they are, salvage parts are an affordable option for older machines. Sometimes new parts are no longer available...so you're best option is a trip to the salvage yard or someone with a parts machine.

[@keithpowell2786]

Awesome video Mike, I would love to see more places like this when you run across them. VERY INTERESTING

[@roccominino3923]

Nice to get a drone look of Tyndall. I worked at the elevator 53 years ago.

[@Magnumpi27]

One slice of the past, fascinating. 👍

[@clfhnt]

Well done!!! Thanks

[@BRPFan]

Awesome video Mike! So close and never knew he was there! Very interesting! Would love to see more videos like this or from actually dealerships as well!

[@williamswindle5445]

This was incredible! In the 70s a farm near me in Alabama had one of those combines and it worked hard. Thank you for such a great tour.

[@carlfalt174]

It's a cool video as i have a Massey 510 Western Special in my shop but haven't used it in 20 years. As these machines die out the only use for these is to melt them down for new steel.

[@joelg8004]

History of feeding a country!

[@jeremyswindell2330]

I run a 850 massey!!! And a 510

[@SimonKL11]

That's an interesting yard😉👍 Places like this are important to keep the older machines running good👍👍

[@perrywollam8981]

First combine that ever ran was a massy 90. Best one they ever made was 510 750 was good but then we went to ih 915 then 1460 Massey will always have a soft spot in my memory

[@johnfurnival4133]

Interesting place, what a find

[@markreetz1001]

I was impressed! I really enjoy equipment salvage yards. I am also impressed with how kept up the yard is. The rows of outdoor shelves was a little sketchy, but it was a great video. Don't hesitate to go into these yards when you can. Really enjoyed the aerial shots!

[@geoffhamm8298]

I worked for a guy that had a 510 I believe. It was a gas engine with a straight pipe. The exhaust would glow red at night. Then he had a 750 and it was always easy to find because it smoked so much

[@Snowtruckdriver]

thew 510 had a 327 chevy power with straight pipes

[@landerson1012]

I remember running a first year production model 760 so this video was really neat to watch. Gret find and thanks!

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Nice video . Definitely brings back memories when I was a kid and was so excited when as u said a BIG red combine was coming to cut the corn . Used to also play in the truck full of grain . To this day if I heard a combine coming down the road I’d wait and watch it going by in awe at the size of them these days . Thanks Mike . 👍🏻

[@Snowtruckdriver]

My first job off the farm was running a 510 Massey (one of two) for a friend of my father that was a custom operator. that was summer of 1968. I can still hear those straight pipes of that 327 chevy power.

[@Art-ot2jn]

Gas engine in a combine what a fire trap

[@nathanalmond8280]

Great video Mike. I had a 300 then I had a 550 they are both still running. I am just doing hay now days. Cool place. Yeah a dealership here had a MF loader and forklift a neighbor had a track loader and another had a MF log skidder. They couldn't have made many of them. Also my best friend they were MF people had a 510 combine and tractors and a backhoe. Thanks again.

[@Edprine4127]

Yes! Absolutely take more videos of places like this I would love to see it!

[@bradsellnow3665]

Keep the videos coming really enjoy the variety Mike!

[@chrisgossman6512]

I liked 👍 another one of your videos. You are talented on things I like to see. Waiting for the next surprise. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@paulberg9906]

I've gotten parts from Skorpiks for my 80 Massey Harris. I needed a grain pan

[@aidanbrennan7389]

Farmer Phil would like this place!! Greetings from Ireland....

[@keiterfarms5470]

If you stop the video at 6:04 the third combine from the end with the engine taken out which is a massey ferguson 510 combine that was actually my dads main combine till about 2010 when he bought a massey ferguson 850 out in iowa and in 2018 after running that 510 for the past 30+ years, Rod had contacted my dad and asked him if he was interested in buying a very nice low houred 850 he had just bought and dad ended up trading in that 510 combine you see for the second 850 that we still run and use every harvest.

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks for sharing that information. I always appreciate when a viewer recognizes something in a video like that

[@keiterfarms5470]

​@BuckeyeFarmer686 Yup not a problem!

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Ran an 860 several years back in the 90's. When I was growing up in the 60's there was an MF distribution center in Pocatello Idaho, I remember a long row of forklifts in the yard.

[@nickkercheval2704]

A neighbor farmer has about a half dozen 860s and at least 25 1155 tractors. You can hear those V8 Perkins scream from miles away!

[@hughmackellar7941]

Excellent.

[@VIP.BUILT.INC.]

Thanks Mike. More of these videos.

[@jamied.2734]

Cool video!!! Like seeing the "old school" equipment.

[@robertgoetz2678]

Thanks for rewaking vivid memories Mike! I was driving 510, 520, 525 and 620s in the late seventies for a custom cutter in south germany, we were at nearly 800 m above sea level and started the season at 90 m, some 250 north west from home in the rhine valley. I did my first season with 16 years…

[@bladewiper]

I love those old bone yards.

[@wildcatwilly]

I have worked with Rodney for years. We rebuild Massey Ferguson small combines on our KZbin channel. Great video!

[@ascension8811]

I used a MF forklift when I worked for a MF dealer in Ohio. Always thought the 750 combine was huge and fancy. That was 1978. The KZbin Oliver66FarmBoy uses a White 7300 on his farm. Pretty cool to see this. Thanks

[@ihguy2113]

i have seen MF forklifts but didnt know they made the 855 and 865 combine pretty sure they were all built in Brantford Ontario Canada

[@davidhead5943]

1981 / 860 Combine ! My grandpa had one !

[@geraldtalsma7055]

Still running a 510 works great

[@lorenfriesen5107]

You gotta visit Mike’s Equipment at Buhler, Ks. Huge inventory on two sites, tractor / combines. Maybe ten long sheds of parts and tractors. Acres of inventory of many brands. Customers come from Utah, Mexico and myriad places around.

[@rogerw2101]

Awesome video thanks

[@YouT-DJ]

That's wild! Lifetime of collecting. Your comment about being 7 years old.... I remember around 1970s when I was a kid combine would come to do our oats or barley, it seemed as big as our house. Belts and chains everywhere. Come to think of it cows seemed big, tractors all seemed big. Funny how perspective changes.

[@user-rt4nh1sq3j]

in comparison to the newest ccombines that you feature in your other movies this old bent and sometimes broken combiness wil give a nice view to look at

[@thedemolitionmuniciple]

I don't think we're in need of parts right now, but ours is an 8570 (which some have told me is a White combine with a MF paintjob, but I don't personally know). Nice to see places like this; I'll always make time for wandering through a yard of any machinery.

[@xray606]

This reminds me of the old aircraft boneyards

[@jackthewisedog5171]

I would say anyone watching this with a Massy combine would be interested in getting in touch with these guys - nice video

[@jeremyswindell2330]

Awsome video mike !!!!

[@ihpowr]

We ran 410 510 750 and an 855 , now we’re running 2 9650sts deeres

[@russjordan3996]

I would love to see more videos like this ther are sure a lor of neat places to see thanks agin

[@tompreiss5010]

It was interesting😳😳😀😀😀

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜

[@Robsixx]

One man's junk is another man's treasure

[@AkbarMoncongloe]

Excellent brother 👍

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Looks like a big place, good video 👍

[@froggienm71]

You should go to Mike's Equipment Co in Buhler, KS. One of the biggest ag salvage yards in the Midwest

[@zilla2006able]

lt is really cool see some old MF combine ❤👍

[@joshengelbrecht2483]

Do more videos like that

[@thr8061]

We had MFs all over the place growing up. I remember by dad combine with a Massey Harris 50 pulltype.

[@piperdoug428]

South Sask Farmer would take a load outa this place for his 860

[@halwilliams1682]

I had a Massey 550 and an 850. Seemed like was always fixing something on those two.

[@jonathansabatino3987]

very cool !

[@paulreis1648]

Great video

[@Okanagan_modeler]

Great video very interesting to see the mf graveyard!

[@petergardner2334]

kind of sad to see all massey combines if come across more combine yards would be of interest

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@johnbonas8080]

Very interesting Mike, great video. Like the Whites, I imagine that the majority of those MF's were also made up here in Brantford, Ontario.

[@kathykutter2485]

Thanks Mike . We run MF combines.

[@cherylmillard2067]

Thank you, that was interesting, I was wondering how they got the red paint on that refurbished model looking like almost new as red is known to fade.

[@chrishulm396]

That 865 massey was ours and we just sold it to him.

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks for the info. I though he told me a guy in New York bought it now.

[@tylerzwanziger4281]

hey thats my house!!

[@nolte1970]

👍👍👍

[@404nitro]

Man, if only that equipment could talk! The stories would be awesome to listen to. I have seen MF forklifts several times overall the years.

[@Andy-From-England]

It was ace

[@bigfoot4515]

Didn't know they made an 865.

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@Jerry-hh5eb]

There is a much larger collection of MF tractors in Kappa, Illinois

[@farmhandmike]

Okay is it called the Kappa Kabana?😂😂

[@Jerry-hh5eb]

No, the name of the town is Kappa. There is a mens club in Kappa called Kappa Kabana. You don't want to go there. The MF collection is on the North side of town. Can't miss it.@@farmhandmike

[@Jerry-hh5eb]

Google maps will show it on RT. 251@@farmhandmike

[@garyl6375]

If you see more places like this you should stop and film them. I like these a lot more than your advertisement videos for Deutz!

[@farmhandmike]

Deutz Advertisement Videos? I work for the Deutz Distributor in the USA (PFG America AKA Power Farming Group) and film what I'm out doing. Deutz is not paying me to advertise for them.

[@crazygood150]

Were these all made in Brantford, Ontario?

[@farmhandmike]

White Combines were but I'm not sure about the Massey. The Massey rotor that was like the White Rotary was built in Brantford for a while but I don't know the entire history.

[@freebooter247]

I beleive that all the combines from the model 300 and up and some European models were all built at the BRANTFORD Plant

[@curtisthorne6332]

Does he have any Ferguson tractor parts?

[@glinoci]

Avete la MF 99 ...?

[@billbooth4147]

I’ve seen MF forklifts,few backhoes,some MF dozers but never a skidder

[@calebrozeboom]

Larson farms has a mf forklift!!

[@rodneycody8746]

Only 860

[@matthewmccune]

feederhouses must be the weak link.......... lot of missing feederhouses, lol

[@paulprillwitz9901]

[@Art-ot2jn]

No mf combines made anymore in canada only john deere gleaner international left

[@user-qd5qp5le2s]

MFcanadense ok 😂😂

[@6by6by6]

I wouldn’t think there’s any big demand for 30+ yr old combine parts, this smells more like hoarding syndrome 😅
