I love pull type combines! No matter what color, they are just cool to see. I like your wagon hitch, that's pretty slick. Glad to see more old machines working and not going for scrap. Looks like some awesome oats! Thank you for sharing!
In the first view of the unloading wagon, I was thinking that the "unloading tractor" was pacing the combine as well or better than GPS synchronization LOL. Nice harvest rig!
I'd like to see a closeup off the hitch pulling the wagon. Pulled our 80 with a 706. When we traded for a Int 105 self-propelled combine , I felt the grain wasn't as clean.
@@Blastfromthepastfarming652 The Oates looked a little large as if they were swollen and I noticed a hint of green in some of the oats in the wagon. What was the moisture content percentage of the crop. Where I come from bushels are measured by volume first and then weighted. If a bushel by volume of oats weights too much then it is swollen by volume by being too green and thus too wet and will not store without heating an apoiling
If it is air dried it will reduce in volume and weight. I could tell when you were cutting that there was not enough chaff flying from your header area especially with your reel travelling a bit too fast for your ground speed raking the crop before it was cut. I could tell it was not dead ripe as the heads were not dropping enough and there should have been a lot more of the outer layers of chaff flying around at the header. I was a farmer who grew a lot of oats and I used to own that same combine (Intl. # 80) in the 1980s. My point is that if you cut oats before they are ready it will bulk up too much and weight too much. The crop will also heat in storage and spoil unless you put it through the dryer.
I am delighted to see this working, I often wondered how effective it was my grandfather bought one of these in the 50’s I would guess but I never saw it working it was abandoned in the back yard for my entire childhood, probably went for scrap in the 80’s when we built a new shed. All in the name of progress. Regards from Ireland.
I have enjoyed this video. My question to you is, I have the same reel system on my 82 combine. I need a bearing on the reel ( right side) for the side fingers that the track runs on and there are 3 cam bearings on it in a triangular fashion that allow the end reel to not allow the head to get plugged up. Do you by any chance know the part number for this? Thank you for your time today and posting this video
Did a great job running them 95 bushels pretty good. I had two 560 in my life time . Good old set up doing the job Love the extra hitch. Grain quality is excellent 👍
@@Blastfromthepastfarming652 Dad purchased new north of Davenport Iowa. Not sure when and who he sold it to. It's possible. I remember as a kid riding in that hopper. It was a good combine.
The 560 is at 64 horse, it handled it easy . A few years earlier I had my 350 with 36 horse taking 3 rows of beans 54 inches tall and doing 70 bu per acre in 1st ta
As an 80 plus year old wheel chair jockey my memories go back further than this video. This combine was a revolution to us kids who would walk behind the reaper shocking the stalks and stacking them up in sixes to dry out ready for the threshing machine to come a few weeks later. We had horses and an old ford tractor and load of kids helping.
Back in 78, my Dad combined seed oats for a seed company. It was a great year for oats and they were running 90 to 110 bushel per acre. That took a while with a 560D and a 90 all crop. I followed him through the field with a Super MTA and a Grainovator auger cart.
@@Blastfromthepastfarming652 Dad did quite a bit of harvesting for the seed company with the Allcrop because it had a grain cleaner on it. When he retired the seed company bought it from him.
I was wondering how the wagon driver was keeping up so nice to the combine. That would save a lot of time than starting and stopping the hopper in a wagon.

Impressive. This machine works as good as it did when it was new.

I know what 100 bushels per acre looks like and that’s not it
He sold the oats and it went across the scale at 95 bu an acre.
I'd like to see a closeup off the hitch pulling the wagon.

It seems that I have 2 channels for some reason. If you go to the other one, I did a walk around and it shows it pretty well.
Some one's chickens will be glad .
Awesome video!!! I would like to set up my 80 combine with a wagon like yours. Did you make the bracket to attach it?
Made it all from scap metal and from memory from when dad had one on his 80
Great video. Don't see many of these in the UK. All the best 🇬🇧.
Enjoyed your video. Thank you so much. Lots of memories.
That was great to see, thanks for sharing!
You are welcome, it was nice to put some hours on the 560 too.
Maybe 70 bushels to the acre in the thickest areas.
It went 95 bushels an Acre average over the scale. Really good.

A bushel of oats weights 34 lbs. if it is dry enough to go into storage. If it is air dried
They were just under 13 % moisture and weighed 38 lbs. Some of the green tint came from some of the weeds . Oats here is just sold by weight.

Great video, I’d love to find some wagons like those for green chopping feed into
You should be able to find some on consignment auctions.

The combine is a 1964 and the tractor is a 1962. It was a hot but enjoyable day.

No I don't know, I had good luck just going to my IH dealer. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
@Blastfromthepastfarming652 thank you for your time and good luck with your Fall harvest.
Did a great job running them
95 bushels pretty good.
I had two 560 in my life time .
Good old set up doing the job
Love the extra hitch. Grain quality is excellent 👍
Wondering if that's my dad's old IH 80 combine we had back in the '60's
Bought it North West of Marshalltown Iowa.

I remember as a kid riding in that hopper. It was a good combine.
had a 30 yr old one that we used 30 yrs after we got it would cut stuff that our previous machine a selfpropelled deere 45 would run from
Could you please tell me how much horse power do you need to run one of these I've only have 40 hp tractor
The 560 is at 64 horse, it handled it easy . A few years earlier I had my 350 with 36 horse taking 3 rows of beans 54 inches tall and doing 70 bu per acre in 1st ta
@Blastfromthepastfarming652 Thank you, I think give it a try it's just 25 acres, just not all in one place

Dad had a binder and we shocked a few bundles just for kicks. Glad I didn't have to do that on a big field and the threshing
Doing great job. Like to have one
Pretty cool old combine.

I built the hitch from memory from when dad put one on his number 80 combine in the late 60s
@@Blastfromthepastfarming652 an excellent idea and setup. You do good work.
Awesome video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.
