It's a 27 foot header.

Thanks 👍

Thanks 💯

Yes on the armrest trick! Idk about the exhaust leak... we need to have the machine gone though after the season.

You probably couldn't buy one. This one was built by hand in the 1920s or 1930s.

Thank you for the kind words. We have been really busy, but we'll try to get some more videos put together soon.

Thank you for watching

I bet it does! Can beat hardwood floors. It's easier to clean and gives it a "high end" look 😜

Absolutely!

Very different view.

@@mercerlandcattle9496 That comes down to personal preference. Id rather watch the lit city streets than some dry ass grass in the heat.

Are they called Flying Nuns? Never heard that!

@@mercerlandcattle9496 When i was younger and went to the allis dealer the guy’s in the shop were joking around and called the new N combines flying nun’s ! I used to watch that show so it stuck with me all these years ! When i was a kid i thought they look like a space ship out in the field without the traditional straw walkers also !

Thank you!

Very nice! Thank you for watching.

That's awesome, Eddie! Funny you mention a McCormick, we started out here with a 101 McCormick. Not sure on the year, it was before my time. I remember dad running it though, it had steering clutches instead of a steering wheel. I can't imagine how hard a day on that machine must have been! It's still sitting at the edge of a field, every now and then my girls will go climb around on it. After the 101 we moved on to an L Gleaner. That L was an amazing machine for it's time and fun to operate. Now we run this N6 and I absolutely love it! I have never seen a combine clean seed as well as this machine.

@@chadmercer4150 Thanks for the reply. My first harvest run was in 1971 when we ran four Glearer G models. They were good machines but the biggest drawback was they had no AC, just blowers. In the summer of 1972 my brother made a harvest run and I stayed home and worked. In 1973 I made a run with a guy that ran 3 7700 Johne Deeres, but I drove truck that summer and only ran one on occasion like thru the noon meal. In 1975 I went with a guy that had 2 Gleaner L models but, again, I drove truck that year and got on the L onlu a couple of times so I didn't really get to know that machine very well. My last trip was in 1985 with a local farmer that asked me to go with him and those three N7's. I told him I would go with the stipulation that I drove a combine instead of a truck and he agreed to to that. As I said earlier, the N7s were great machines to run and am glad I made that last trip.

About 45 bushel an acre.

We bought this machine in used condition years ago, and this was the header that came with it. He always said it was too big, especially for our fields, but it certainly does make the jobs faster. Thank you for watching.

It serves us well. What brand is used where you are? Thank you for watching.

@@mercerlandcattle9496 usually class , new Holland , deutz farh and in the last yeara John Deere is increasing their numbers

Thanks

Oh, to be a kid again where everything is novel and fun! Working on a custom crew is a great experience. Thank you for watching!

This one is an '85 model. We have enjoyed it and not had many issues with it running. The AC going out a few summers ago was our only big issue.

And everything seems bigger when you're little!

The machine has not been used in a couple years, so he was getting all the kinks worked out. By the end of harvest ground speed was sped up. We certainly appreciate your expert opinion!

At 13 Minutes he tells you why

Nice combine, how wide is the header?

27 ft wide

These combines are easy to plug up, especially at the beginning of the season before the crop running through it has polished off the inside of the combine. My father-in-law plugged his N5 on its first pass (went about 100 yards down the side of the field to open it up, turned, and plugged it) of the summer last year in thin wheat. It took nearly a day to get it cleared.

Gleaner made a better sample than the Case, not much better but better, no comparison to a JD of the same age, JD was a dirty sample. JD has always been a dirty sample until the x9’s and now they’re not fooling around. Still will go gleaner, cih, nh, Or basically anything else over a deere

He has been meaning to post a picture of the seed. It looks like it has been run through a cleaner!

My in-laws have an M2 and an N5. The hourometers failed years ago.

the 301 Allis Chalmers motor was a great motor, tons of power for it's size it just needed maintenance

Thank you. Welcome!

I just saw this comment! Thank you for your concern! I'm sure you did not mean to be antagonistic in any way. And you obviously did not watch the whole video where he talks to his child about leaning on the glass. But it's easy to be rude and call people names behind a screen. I also believe in karma. That's why I try to treat everyone I meet in person and online with respect and kindness. Thank you for watching!

Yes, they are. We have had this one for a long time. It has been a very reliable machine.

​@@mercerlandcattle9496Allis Chalmers 👍

Thank you. It is a wonderful life.

Thank you.

Thank you. Love Australia! Our children are big Bluey fans and pushing their Daddy to take them 😄

We baled this as dry hay. It will keep very well both in the barn and outside in round bales, we store them outside. The main thing is that you have to have conditioners in your swather or it just won't ever dry. It's a very good source of protein and it's high in sugar.
