Harvesting corn with an IH 615 combine (2023)

- My first time using this 615 combine and 824 corn head. Estimated yield was 120 bu/acre, non-irrigated. The corn will be used for chicken feed, cattle feed, and deer corn.
I've ran a 615 since 94 (my first combine). I bought it at auction with a 3 row corn head & a grain head for $350. No one bid because it wouldn't start! Drove it home 8 miles pulling a Parker running gear ($7) with my grain head on it.
Wow, what a deal. I never get that lucky.
Thanks for sharing 😊
My Dad 86 years old used to combine atleast a 1000 acres of corn in the mid 1970s with a 915 and a 6 row 30 inch corn head. Know in 1978 he was doing short of 1400 acres. Then in 1979 he went to a 1480 with some New problems. I know he always liked the 915. The corn always yielded 125 to 150 an acre then. I was always the long hour rider then. Great machine and thank you for sharing. John T 😊😊
Thanks, John! That's a lot of acres for one combine back in those days. My dad had a 915 throughout the 70's and it was also a good machine. Also around a 1,000 acres, but we didn't have any corn; only cut milo and soybeans with it. I got to drive it in the late 70's before he traded it for a White 9700 which wasn't as reliable.
Enjoyed that very much. 615 is working great. Really clean looking corn. Nicely done.
Thanks Ron! I thought the old girl did well too.
I love to see them Old classic combines and tractors 🚜
Grew up as a farm kid with my dad and grandpa using a gleaner e. It was a two row head also. I think dad spent as much time swapping out those greaseless bearings as he did anything else during the harvest! He had a 5 gallon pail of those little bearings! I think he could about do it blindfolded! I’m glad you didn’t put a bunch of music in there.
A friend of mine had an Oliver combine and it was a similar story with the sealed bearings.
Thanks for watching!
My dad's first combine was 615 it was as good as any machine he ever owned
That "15" series was great. In my younger days, I spent the most time on a 915 and some on a 715.
That is a phenomenal looking grain sample ❤.
Thanks! The old girl can still get the job done.
Thanks! The old girl can still get the job done.
Ran a 615 Diesel with the 310 Perkins engine. Looks great.
Thanks! It'll get a break this season since I only have a few rows of corn.
What a beautiful combine!! I would love to see a video of all the work you did to this last winter if possible. Growing up in central New Jersey, in a fairly large farming area (hard to believe, right?) I worked alot with a neighbor who had an 815 back then, I got to drive that quite often with corn harvest, I miss this very much!! The AC never seems to ever work though!! Thanks again!!
Thanks! I intended to cover all that but then thought it would be too boring. I'll revisit that and see what I can do.
I've never been to New Jersey. I hope there's still some farming left! The 15's were a good series. I drove my dad's 915 in the late 70's.
Makes me want to grow corn just to get one to play with. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video you two.
Thank you 🤗
Hey Jason,,thank for taking the time to video. Anything RedPower with a 234 picker is nothing but cool.
Love it
Such a fresh and organic harvest
It was!
Thanks for sharing!
Neat combine!
sooo cool. worked and farmed with 715 for years
Thanks! Good, solid machines. My dad ran a 915 for years and I really liked that machine.
Hey man it's a 1975 model I know because we owned it from 1978-2000 or so. Serial #12001. I know all the history on it. We bought it from the original owner. If you want to hear about it give me a holler. You bought it from our kinfolk that we sold it to.
I was half asleep last night and gave you some wrong info. It's a 1974. They made 12500 615's in 74 and the last 500 had the new quick attach head and this i
s the very first one. In 75 they all had the quick attach head.
Thanks for commenting! And what a coincidence that you found it on TH-cam! (Sorry for the late response, we were dealing with hurricane Beryl and the aftermath; just got internet back). I love knowing the history as it's often as interesting as the equipment itself. Tom did say that it was a family owned machine, but I didn't know much else. I had a feeling that the 12001 serial number had some significance. It's a well worn combine and I put quite a bit of work into it, but it runs strong and did a great job in corn last year. If there's anything else you would like to share about, I'll document it. Thanks again!
Nice combine, kind of rare, not a whole lot made with the quick attach feeder house, and the 824 head is not common either. Do you still have the 403 then? You should make the trip to the half century of progress show in Rantoul illinois. It's the world's largest classic working farm show. I think you'd enjoy. We plan to take our 303 there.
Thanks for watching and the info. Yes, I still have the 403, just didn't use it this year.
I'll be at Rantoul! I'll look for you and the 303.
Hey it was good meeting you today!
Likewise, Ben (and your dad). I had a great time in all that heat and dust! Your 303 is a monster! We just got back home this evening.
Interesting the take out auger flighting doesn't stick past the housing. Corn just grinds out till the next pass...great sample as always. Better than my S680 on a good day...
This is the first machine I've had with the inclined or "bubble up" hopper auger. It looks original. I agree on the sample. I was impressed with it. Thanks for watching!
Looks like it would handle 4 rows easy if it could pick up a 4-row head.
I believe it would. I think IH had 2 and 3 row heads envisioned for it though.
Привет как туда трактористом попасть
