In a tough farm economy it’s good to see someone running well taken care of, paid for equipment.

Had a friend that upgraded from a 4400 in the early 80s. I went from a 6600 to a 6620 about the same time. The 4420 wasn’t much different from the 4400 however the 6620 was a completely different machine from the 6600. He’s got this machine set right and it’s a nice one!

This brings back many memories. My dad farmed 80 acres in Ohio. My first memories were of his JD 30 pull type combine with a 7' head. When I was in the Army in the mid 70s he bought a used JD 4400 combine with 15' header and 4 row corn head. Another memory was seeing the farmers sign on the truck door. I was in the Army at Ft. Campbell, Ky just south of Hopkinsville.

We looked at buying a 4420 when it became time to replace the old 4400. One came up for sale at a retirement auction and after looking it over we decided to bump up to 6620 instead. Can’t tell ya how many times we pulled he feederhouse and cylinder on that 4400 and dad wasn’t going to buy and overglorified 4400. The 6620 has a feederhouse reverser, I’m always been able to walk the crop back out with that. Beats the hell out of a wrench a a spud bar trying to crank that old girl backwards.

Nice old combine moving along at a good clip and getting the job done. Smaller farms and more people farming to me was better for agriculture. Bigger farms, machines that drive themselves...get a sad feeling thinking what the future holds for small farms.

NIce video BTP!! I actually enjoy videos of older machines a little more than the newer ones. The 4420 is moving along at a pretty good clip in the wheat. Any idea of how much the wheat is yielding? As I watch the farmer unloading the wheat I noticed the very nice clean grain sample. There are very few hulls. He has the combine adjusted quite well. Thanks BTP!!

The 4420 must have been the next generation after the 4400. My Dad had a 4400 Diesel which he used to harvest 1000 acres of corn and soybeans. Good machines. It's a shame that none of the companies make a small affordable combine for the small farmer today. They forgot their raisin', as the old country song says.

@bigtractorpower 4 жыл бұрын

The 4420 was the replacement to the 4400. The rest of the 20 series’s were new Titan models with a Soundgard cab. Almost every new combine on the market can handle a 12 row head. Case IH is the only brand still making a class 5 combine which 30’years ago would have been the biggest combine on the market. Even the class 5 is $400,000.

@3069mark 4 жыл бұрын

@@bigtractorpower -- Well, it's just very sad that a small farmer cannot buy an affordable new combine today like they could back in the old days. The manufacturers have turned their backs on the small farmers. Sure, a farmer can buy a 20-30+ year old small combine today, and for a reasonable price, but they better be mechanically inclined if they do, and also parts will eventually be unavailable, if they aren't already. But it's the way of the world today, eg: most are greedy and out to get as much as they can and take you for all they can, and then forget about you after they have gotten it. Jesus prophesied it would be like this in the end times, and we are there.

I would take that little machine 10 to 1 over a new one that has an equally monstrous payment book and will sink to the axles after the first rain storm because of its weight. Then, you have to hire a bulldozer or trackhoe to pull it out its so heavy! Just the ruts and mess those big machines making the field today it's very very sad in bad for the land.
