No big payment, still getting the job done. Love it!

How freaking cool. Two 8820s in one field. Love these machines.

I would take a 8820 over all the modern day combines any day

My Uncle owned a 7720 Turbo and I rode many laps up and down the field in that machine. We had a 6 row corn header with our. He harvested corn, beans, and wheat. I also enjoyed riding with him because I got to operate the swinging of the auger as well as pulling the handle up to unload the corn since they where located right by the door. I have also taken many naps while sitting on the floor and resting my head on the seat. I was sad to see that combine go but really enjoyed the upgrade to a 9500 which came with a buddy seat for me to sit on, so no more floor for me.

We have a 9400 that we bought last year. Had a 6620 before that and a 6600 before that. Had the 6600 for almost 20 years. My grandpa taught me to combine on the 6600. Lost him to cancer 5 years ago, miss him alot.

There are still a couple of 8820 Titan two's in our area. They were and still are a impressive combine . We use to run a 7720 and was it ever a good reliable machine.

Titan I or II series have always been some of my favorite combines from JD. I like the look of them. A farm up the road from me still uses a 7720. Love watching them!!!👍🏻👍🏻

Love seeing the older machines! No matter what brand or model. Things back then were built to last. 🙂 Thanks for the video!

They were very high capacity for their day. I was always impressed with them.

Love those JD XX20 combines. Thanks for sharing!

Love the 8820 titian II combine especially cuz looks they had 2 of them in the feild nothing like old iron still working

When I was young are neighbor had one parked in his shed for a friend of his. The 8820 seemed absolutely massive compared to what I was familiar with. Coupled to a 27’ grain head it was a beast. Great video.

Great video. I use a 6620 yellow cab. Love these old machines. My father had a 45e when I was a kid.

Was only around a few of these. One neighbor had one, his cousin , had a 7720. Both machines were considered the big rigs in the county. Both required a lot of maintenance yearly, but they did cover a lot of acres annually. There's still a 6620 next farm over. The family bought it new, on a smaller acreage. A big farmer I worked for back in the mid 90s, had a late 8820 and a 9600 while I worked for them. That 8820 was traded for a 9610 the last year I put up with the jerk that ran the place. I would have loved to get it from the dealer, but they wanted way too much. I guess they had too much in it to make the original trade. All those walker type machines had serious issues with breakage in there, and bent cranks. The reason I went to a Axial Flow for my operation.

Two nice machines!! Only 8820 I knew of in our area was a spike tooth cylinder machine a farm still runs some today.

The 7720 n 8820 were awesome machines

The titan II is a great combine😉👍 good to see two out in the field👍👍

It's odd to me seeing older combines like these using their straw choppers on corn. The old Gleaner combines we had when I cut my teeth learning how to operate harvesting equipment had choppers that could be slid forward past the straw walkers and disconnected to prevent wear on the components. Still awesome to see older machines out in the field getting the job done!

I really enjoy the videos from John Deere old equipment specially titan combines thanks jason

We had the last model year 7720 Titan 2 when I was a kid. It was a great machine.

As a former Titian 2 owner, I love these old combines, they were great machines.

You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!

Great footage and your videos are always informative. I run a 1994 John Deere 9600 with a 6 row corn header in Northwest Ohio

Love the latest video from big tractor power. Always enjoy seeing my favorite series of John deere combines in action keep up the great work. And happy holidays

I'm in Western KY too and we use to have 2 8820 Titan 2 combines. We sold one when my granddad passed about 15 years ago and I think it's still in Western KY. Possibly one of these? We still have the other 8820 Titan 2 with the 843 corn head like in this video.

If John Deere were to make the titán series and current machines again, I would definitely Buy a titán...free of all those thousands of cables, sensors and computers that only make them More complex AND in the end do the dame job... A by the way, the sound of the 8820's engine is like music to my ears👍👍

That is the only combine I have ever had a chance to ride in. It was HRWA and had duals. That same farm had a 4960 as well, which I also got to ride in which was only a year or maybe two old at that time and considered a really big row crop tractor. Times have sure changed

I have a 1973 6600 that I use on my farm. I have 60 acres of corn & beans , this old machine still does a good job .

The 20 series are a good combine I had a 6620 side hill that was a fun machine

👋 hey 👋 from Dexter,Missouri Super awesome video 😎 👍👍

First combine I ran after emigrating to Canada was an 86 8820 T2. I believe best machine for value, hours out of investment

still the best combine yet.

I always enjoy your video's ............ very informative .......... thank you for your hard work .

Dug a 7720 out of pasture,spent 2 weeks replacing belts,repairing rust rot,new hydrostatic cooler and hoses, 20 ft header, and pulled harvest off this year

Awesome find and video! Love the titans! I’m sure you can remember Halpin’s showcasing an 8820 at Monroe County Fair back in the early 80’s? I remember climbing up those side steps at 5 y/o thinking it was a space shuttle.

Hi BTP, wondering what modern day john deere combine would be equivalent to a 8820 titan2..would it be an S760 or smaller?

Definitely my favourite series of combine from John Deere

Awesome monster combines still making money.

Good video. 👍👍👍

That's a classic combie.

Nice video. In the early '80's I worked for a neighbor running a 7720 while he ran his 8820. Back in those days, no grain carts so we dumped in his trucks. Our neighbor was pretty "big time" having two machines. (We only ran one Massy 860...haha). Good memories.

Like your drone videos.

Had a 8820 turbo ran a 925 flex never new it was on it Was a real beast lost it to a combine fire 🔥 in 1999

Our neighbor bought an 8820 in 1980 with a 12 row head... it was mammoth back then!

Tuve una 8820 con cabezal de 24 pies buenísima las máquinas

Love John Deere ❤️

Last year we farmed 1998, daddy had one of those..paid 20k for it used...got the job done for years, cheap to maintain too

Really like watching old Iron getting jobs done

That's so really cool 😎 and great to see u...📽️🚜⛽ very 🙈 awesome farm life style 💪🎉✔️

We have a 6620 deere with a 6 row that does an awesome job we run it sometimes along with my uncles 6600 and a massey 510 that I have

Had a 7720 that was traded for 8820. I think the 7720 was a better machine. A few mods and turn of a 10 mm screw I could make it run good. Had a 8 row bean head on and it could fly.

The first time my dad and I saw a 12 row corn head was on an 8820. Harvesting at the farm progress show in Nevada Iowa in early 80's. Great memory from the past. Great combine in its day

Good video.

Nice video

I run a titan11 for my neighbor we run a massey 850 with a 6row corn head I like the deere better it handle better was a good combine

We run a s680 2015 model harvesting corn and milo in north Mexico

👍👍

Does anyone know why they put the motor up front like that? I always thought that was an odd setup.

As I remember the titan ii was the first one to get a reversing feeder house so when you went too fast or got into too many weeds you could back out a plug.

What kind of drone do you have

👍😁

I run a JD 7700 turbo, 6600 and 4400 combining small grass seed and occasionally corn

What class would this combine be considered?

Shows that if you take good care of your equipment, not run the snot out of it, it will take care of you. I appreciate all the digging you do to find the stats and prices of these machines. Makes your videos educational and informative!

the farm I grew up with had a 66&7720 built for rice

👍👏🙋‍♂️🌈💚🌞

We had a 8820 with a yellow roof

4400, 6600 and 7700 turbo harvesting small grain, Plains, Louisiana

I ran one for several years. Had to give up on it with over 5000 hrs. The reason was bottom of grain tank kept cracking out, was afraid it would be sitting on top of straw walkers.

Would they want to buy another one?

We have a 7720 turbo and run wheat corn and soybeans. This is our last year sadly

I'm the first yaaaa

Very very nice jason but you have not a video of the bidirectional tractor of versatile the very best tractor for the farm

Cómo puedo conseguir un empleo del campo

На наш дон похож

Twenty-seven K seems expensive just for a header back in the 80s.

JOHN DEERE 8820 Titan II Combine with JOHN DEERE 12' Pickup Head, 6 Belt 6 Belt with JOHN DEERE 213F 13' flex head with John Deere 444 Corn Head - 4 Row, 36in Spacing Harvest The Crops Winter Wheat Spring Wheat Barley Cereal Rye Oat Millet Sorghum Corn High Corn Moisture Soybean

Seems the corn Harvest is low

Pretty sad corn!

Back in the day I thought these were impressive machines but now we have combines that can practically drive themselves

yep 7720 pretty ragged but still gets the job done
