I like watching the old equipment

Combines have come a long way

Great machines and there’s always strong government representation with the stars and strips at these events.

I alwase love to see old equipment still working the people that are keeping to old days alive 👍👍

Enjoyed the parade, brought back a lot of memories. . . I suppose the John Deere 4020 and 4320 were my most "connectable" tractors!! Thanks for posting! South Carolina

Wow, the first combine I learned on was an older model 45 John Deere the dad had, my first corn picker was a one row New Idea hooked to my old DC Case. I moved up to a ‘69 model 45 with a cab and later upgraded to a 3300 John Deere from 1976. These were all featured in this film.

Shelling corn. Corn pickers shuck, combines shell.

Opening up the end rows by hand, most definitely no city slicker yuppie hands in our family!

I got my hand and arm in the big flat belt separator drive pulley you will see in the video at 1:56 to the far left of the video. I was lucky I did not break my arm or tear it off. It happened so fast and with such great force it tore the belt guide rod out of the side of the combine sheet metal. I have scars on my hand. It could have been really bad a I was by myself. I was 18 stupid years of age at the time. After that incident I wised up...I think... I was finishing up the last field of beans and the return elevator chain was loose and it would catch and stop. I would shut the combine off and turn that big drive pulley backwards and it would allow the paddle to release on the chain and I could go a couple more rounds. I got cocky and figured that I could do this with the engine running and the dive belt disengaged. It worked a couple of times then my elbow came down and tightened the flat belt and the pulley spun and pulled my hand right between the belt and the pulley...one half second is all it took. Got back on the combine and finished the field.
