Watching this brings back a lot of memories. For a number of years we ran one Green, One Red and one Orange (Allis-Chalmers rather than case). Spent many a Fall day, and many nights as well - when it stayed warm enough that the dew didn't form and we could keep going all night long - throughout the 60's into the late 70's on a 1959 round back, open station JD95, while my brothers (and for a number of years, my mother) ran the International Harvester 181, and an Allis-Chalmers SP-100. Even though it was pure torture on these open station machines when the wind wasn't cooperating and the chaff & straw were so thick you couldn't breathe without a bandana tied over your face...I miss those days dearly; maybe because it felt so good when you could finally quit for a few hours, and take a shower & get a couple hours of sleep before it was time to get the machines greased-up, fueled-up, and ready to hit it hard again. The old open station machines we had were eventually replaced by a New Holland 980 and a couple JD7700's with cabs...then by a few JD8820's...and over the past 40 years - the newest, biggest machines John Deere had to offer. It's hard to explain to youngsters today what farming was like 50+ years ago, before air conditioned & heated cabs, navigation systems, self-leveling platforms, grease banks (a lot of folks don't know what it's like to find all 50 to 80 zerk fittings on some of these old vintage combines)...even running a machine with reliable BRAKES!...just like it was hard for my Father and uncles to explain to my generation what it was like pitching shocks into a threshing machine pulled to the field by horses and run off a long belt from a Steam Tractor or stationary steam engine 60 or 70 feet away.

Our 181 had a cab, the first combine we had with one. Then went to the 503, and 915.

I have a John Deere 6600 and I love using it for wheat harvest, I can’t imagine how much fun using one of those would be.

I was 7 years when me anda my dad used to harvest with equipment just like that. He had 2 machínes just like the two first ones on this video. This is worth my tears!! Lovely ❤️

Bonjour, JD 55 pour l'époque était déjà moderne: chauffeur au milieu de la machine, commande de scie par un roulement oscillant. En France peu connue, comme Case. IH était répandue= premier grand réseau dans tout le pays mais la 151 avait en concurrence Massey-Harris , mon père a eu une 780S en 1956, moteur Chrysler ou Austin 6 cylindres essence. En France il y avait aussi Claas et Clayes devenue aujourd'hui New-holland vers 1961 ces 2 marques ont devancé les ventes: robustesse et fiabilité. La Clayes 103 une grande réputation de débit de moisson puis la 122 ,135,140. John Deere en moissonneuse-batteuse est apparu surtout après 1967( fabriquées en allemagne): 430, 530,630,730: un bon début de ventes. Si IH n'aurait pas développé les Axiales: ils auraient perdu la bataille......Elles sont encore en 4° place des vente et bonne réputation de simplicité et solidité, actuellement.

Why was the jd operator only cutting half a cutter bar full and putting the walker row through ? Seems silly when the others are taking a plfull width.

cut just a little till the machine was shined up after sitting all winter---- instead of pluggging-----

So it shoots the berries out the back then you go 'round with like a rake attachment or something?
@gregorymalchuk2724 жыл бұрын
It shoots the chaff and straw out the back and stores the wheat berries in the built-in grain bin.
