Drove one of those machines with a 224 ridged grain head .Back in the late 1980s to late 1990s. A big step up from the Chevy 292 engine powered 4400
I put a lot of hours on one of those 292, 4400's
My grandparents have a 6620 turbo today. They use it on their 75 acre farm to harvest their wheat, barley, corn and soybeans. I haven’t ridden in it but I when I was about 7 to 10 years old I was able to make many memories with my grandmother in the old 4420 they used to have. I do like seeing their old equipment run today cause nothing runs like it today.
Great content as always. Thanks.
Awesome find in our hometown! You forgot the 4420 in the line-up…back in the ‘80’s our family had a 4400&4420 combine…90’s we got 6620’s and on up through the years. Yellow reel looks good with yellow top. Love titan combines! Trying to figure out who these guys are?
Really like the 7720's. Great combines. The yellow cab top is a bonus!!👍🏻👍🏻
Very smooth running machine.
Good to finally see a farmer that don't need 10 combines and 60 foot headers just to combine the crop
Great video! A lot of acres harvested with those machines.
That is awesome good job on the video big tractorpower 👍
I have a 7720 turbo and still running today in my farm, harvesting corn... very nice combine✌️✌️
Defiantly one of the all time greats.
👋👋 from Dexter😎Missouri
My friend super awesome video.
As always. Keep the videos comin.
I remember when these Titan combines were introduced 45 years ago in 1978
When you think - if worst came to the worst - this old Iron - if you keep it working - can keep thousands of people fed. Technology improving is great but the costs and complexity just keep increasing. There is a niche for paid for machines that just keep going - 40 years and still doing the job
Good video.
Wow that its a beautiful😍😍
We had a 6620 with a 20ft head. 7720 with a 24ft head and 2 8820 TII with 25ft heads and they needed 30ft.
I ran the 7720 and we even took it on a couple of custom harvests but I don't remember what header we had
For custom harvest I would guess a 220 head or maybe a 224.
Have you uploaded the tillage demonstration video yet from the half century of progress show?
I have two videos out from Half Century so far

Three more are on the way.

I enjoy seeing classic combines still out in the field getting the job done
The first combine I drove was a John Deere 7700 with no A/C in the Louisiana heat. I see why no one on the farm wanted to drive that sauna on wheels 😅
The first combine I ever operated, was made right after International Harvester was sold to Case. It was a 16 series combine produced in the later half of 1985. I’m almost positive it was made right after Case IH came to be.
great video, brings back so many memories, you do such a good job!!!!!
I ran the 7720 with a 24 foot header and I really like that combine
Those combines are still really good machines when theyre kept up.
They were built to last. One of my all time favorites.
Might be overall better harvesting with a combine that costs almost nothing and takes 3x as much time compared with monthly repayments on a $500k model?
Enjoy seeing these machines still getting it done.
It's nice to see a classic combine getting the job done😃💪 the 7720 is a great machine👍👍
My brother and I each had a 7720 we used to custom combine with. Great machines then and now! Thanks for sharing more western New York footage.
thanks, great video!Love those old combines.:)
There was a local farmer here that bought a 7720 new & used it as the main combine until his son was old enough to start farming with him. As they got more land the son bought a 9770 I believe but the Dad loved that 7720 & kept on harvesting with it. Even after he retired & the son had fully taken over & had purchased newer & bigger combines he still would pull that 7720 out of the shed every harvest & run it alongside the 2 modern ones the son had. He did that for quite a few years until his health kept him from doing it anymore. He passed away but his son still has that 7720 sitting in his shed.
They had 2 of them 1spike tooth 1 rase bar and have the shirt to prove it.
So many good memories associated with the whine of that hydro!
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10 1 John 1 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. Jesus answered, John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 The rapture is imminent!
yeah we had a 8820 T2 with a 30ft HoneyBee draper, even straight cut Hemp with it
If there is one thing I would love to see I would love to see what a modern version of what this combine would be like after all alot has changed in 38 years
Cut my teeth on a 7700..
My daddy and uncle ran 7720’s.
That’s when farming was sensible and more about family instead of acres to cover for profit.
Brings back good memories!
Thank you Jason!.
The one and only combine I have had a chance to ride in was either an 8820 or possibly a 7720, but pretty sure it was the former. The man that had it also had an almost brand new 4960.This was back in 1994 in the fall. I got to ride in both of those. He also had an Oliver, but can't recall if it was a 1755 or a 1955. He had a cherry condition 4440 and an open station 6400.
I run a 6620 to harvest mixed oats/barley. Great little machine!
Nice classic
We ran a 20ft head on our 7720 for beans, rice, and wheat in the 80s
Very nice video 👍
That’s a small headed he will be a while cutting that field.
I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us
I use to operate a 7720 back in the early 80s here in Ontario (North of Stratford area) for a custom operator. We did winter wheat, barley, mix grain (using pick up head), soybeans and corn (6 row head)
It's fun to see the new-fangled equipment that was produced after I left the family farm in northern California, where we thrashed barley with JD 55's and dry beans with modified JD 36.
Just curious ... how much crop efficiency is lost using such an old machine? Assuming it's paid for you can absorb some loss compared to the payments on these newer machines. What do some of the experts here think? Does harvest as well even if slower?
If you have everything set right, will do as good a job as a brand new one.
@@jeanbrandt2624 Ok, that makes sense, but .... 1. Do things stay 'set right' with the wear and tear and would the operator know that compared to the diagnostics in the newer machines? 2. Your production rate is going to be much slower, first in cut width plus travel speed. Given that the older engines are going probably use more fuel per hour, how does that work for the economics? 3. I understand your point if you have a reasonably sized farm and just want to take off your own crops without paying someone, but for these custom cutters I don't how it could take the abuse or get the job done in a reasonable time in these 2000 acre fields.
4. There must be a valid economic reason to run these new $1 million units other than they are shiny.
@@henrivanbemmel no matter what, pays to get out of the cab and check for losses. Diagnostic equipment is only good if calibrated correctly. With grain loss monitors, one can run the combine at full capacity, but with an older machine just have to run slow enough so you know you are not losing any crop. My son runs a 10 year old combine which is “newer” than many of the combines I see. He bought it for less than half of new price, has most of the “bells and whistles” on it. He harvests about 1000 acres, and can afford to have some down time during the season. Down time , cost of repairs, and depreciation are all a big deal.
@@jeanbrandt2624 Thank you very much. I was thinking of a much older machine. For me, given the experience of the major manufacturers, i would expect that a 10 year old machine should still be effective. A number of the harvesting channels I've watched this summer are using combines that aren't new and some admit to buying them second-hand as well.
My father's friend had a 7720 turbo I remember him doing custom work in ennismore Ontario and he lifted the grain head over the fence posts at the gate they were fallen down arched still quite a sight to see
My grandpa had the same machine. Ironically also in Western NY. Brings back so many memories, thank you!
I have 2 of them 7720 turbos that I have used on my 3500 acer corn & soybean farm for years. They r good combines & have the loudest unload augers lol
Another quality video big T 👍👍👍 reminds me of the combines I'd see around here as a kid in the 80s...
These combine was very good combine last long time very well built combine
I don't remember the header being so small on our 7720
That was a mean machine when it was new a zBig combine for that time
That’s good stuff I share these all the time
a 3300 could handle that size header
My aunt and uncle had one of these.
Very nice. It’s one of my favorite combines.
Fvck ya, keep them coming on these vintage machines
My dad and i bought a 7720 new in 1984. My nephew has run it also. 3 generations of our family. We use a 924 straight head and 212 pickup head. Still use it every year but on limited acres. Does a better job of cleaning grain up than newer models.
I spend many long days in the 7720 Titan 2 (green cab).
I Enjoyed This Video
Why such a small head
I mention in the video the bale the straw and 15ft provides a good sized straw windrow to feed the baler.
Looks like some of that wheat got knocked down by heavy rains. In those areas that have weeds, are these sorted out of the wheat or do the seeds from the weeds mix in with the wheat? Does this affect the price the farmer receives for the wheat?
The green seeds from the weeds do get in the grain tank. At the elevator that is dockage.
Depends on the weed seed. If it's light enough it will get blown out of the back combine. If there are too many weed seeds in with the clean grain it will affect the grade the grain gets and can lower the price received by the farmer. Weed seeds can also spoil the grain if it's left in a grain bin as they are usually more wet than the grain.

👏👏👍👍👌👌
Thank you Paulo
Wow, now this takes me back to dad running the 6600 & 7700 series combines after running Massey Ferguson for years. Such a great classic machine, we ran hard, often dad ran all through the night to get harvest in ahead of a winter storm fast approaching.
We used 4 8820s in the early 2000s great machines. Thank you great video
Very cool. The 8820 is a monster combine.
