- Welcome back to the way we farm. This week we're back harvesting wheat and we brought along the 40 "mini machine" to have a little fun. We ran the 40 combine in tandem with the S680 and had the John Deere 720 on grain cart. This was a ton of fun, hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it. Thank you for watching and remember, It's a great day to feed the world!

Who can’t appreciate the old school way. Amazing the progression we see in our lifetime. Thanks for posting!
@@raymiller9391 Thanks Ray!
The old horse harvests some clean wheat! I'm speechless!🐴🐴✅️💯💯💯💯💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Grew up in the wheat fields of Kansas, dad ran a 105 combine. Back then it was an amazing machine with a whopping 22' header. Your video is so cool!! I started chuckling right away when I saw how that old piece of iron was cutting wheat like the big boys! Great job.
@@brycekopper2841 Thanks for the comments Bryce! I only remember one 105 around here in the 80s, 55s and 95s were the most popular in our area. Hopefully we can continue to put out decent videos that bring back memories.
Love seeing the old John Deere 720 in action! It's amazing how these classic machines still hold their own. Great job, Tom and team!🥰🥰
@@FarmGearInnovators Glad you enjoyed it. Glad it’s back in the family! Thanks for watching!
The 40 combine with the 720 on the gravity wagon is an awesome setup. The 680 does make short work of the wheat harvest
@@jasonbeecher509 That was a fun experience! Thanks for watching.
My dad had a 45 when I was a kid. The sounds of yours takes me back to those great days!👍
@@John-jg5dh 45s are classic!
Oh, the memories that are flooding back. Thank you. Back about 1963 or so in Ohio. Our neighbor had a 45 and he combined the wheat or oats (not sure after this many years). Dirty, DUSTY, cough, cough. I remember my uncle combining wheat with a 730 and a JD 60 pull-type combine. Wow! I hope you can keep her going for another 60 years!
@@larrylawson5172 Glad you enjoyed it! Those were some hard days back then! Thanks for watching and the comments.
From Denmark,
ohhh, it brings me back to my youth.
I am today 66 years old and in 1972 as a 14-year-old boy I started on a farm where I stayed for 4 years.
We had 140 acres of land that we harvested with an 8 foot massey ferguson 87.
Harvest time was the big time for me when I was allowed to drive the Massey Ferguson 87.
It was a fantastic combine, it always ran and we never had heating problems like the class and others had, as the Massey Ferguson had a rotating drum in front of the radiator which meant that it never got hot.
It's wonderful to see that you don't let go of what was before.
A warm greeting from Denmark.
@@ProtonD1200 Welcome to our channel! I’ve never heard of a Massey 87, glad it was a good machine. The rotary screen is a great feature. Glad you liked our video.
drone shot 11:15 in gives us some REAL perspective! WOW
@@EDBZ28 Guy I bought it from said they could do 7 or 8 acres a day of 50 bushel wheat. If you grew 20 acres a year that’s 3 days running, sure beat a pull type or thresher!
Very cool to the little combine that could!!!! Awesome to see some of the old stuff that still exists today and works!! Thanks Guys!!👍👍👍😎
Good job keeping that little diamond going . Proper job . 👍🏴
@@stephenrice4554 Thank you! It’s always fun to run.
Awesome video overall!!! I had a John Deere 40 combine with a 10' head on mine. I used it for combining oats because there wasn't anyone who would custom combine. I retired that and switched to an International 82 pull type and I harvest between 5-10 acres a year. This video was excellent because you were thorough in your explanations on how and why you do things. Good luck with harvest season this Fall.
@@milandjurdjevich3046 Thanks for the comments! Our friends have an 82, haven’t seen it running yet. Hopefully we’ll have another video of our 40 soon.
43 years ago I started working with a massy 585. 12ft closed front. There was more grain going through the rust holes than in w bin. It was a great learning. Thanks Peter Shelton from Qld Australia
@@PeterShelton-no9qy Thanks for the comments Peter!
Love the old 40!! Working pretty smooth.
Love watching older machines like this in the fields. Great video. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day.
@@ProudPapaw88 Thanks and you too.
Fantastic exceptional video and beautiful wheat ! Thank you for sharing Texas
@@THEVROD64 Thanks for watching from your great state!
Hi, how are you doing today?Iget project like that, I don't if you could be a co worker with me?
Wow what a sample!!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮
I really enjoyed seeing that old combine working.
Thanks for showing, really enjoyed the video.
Watching from Germany 🇩🇪
@@laurinjoelschafhausen Glad you enjoyed the video. Welcome to our channel!
Der kleine John Deere Drescher macht erstaunlich gute Arbeit das Korn ist sehr sauber. Sehr schönes Video 👍. Grüße aus der Schweiz 🇨🇭
Old School Kool, Great Video!
priceless - thanks
Was great fun to watch. My grandpa had a red ball thrashing machine and an International cat with pully to run it. I've driven a case w/o cab, an international combine, a John Deere 7700 and currently running John Deere 8820. The farm i work for is borrowing a John Deere 9760STS from another farm to combine grass seed. Enjoyed classic JD tractor as well, keep up the good work, and hope weather gets better for ya.
@@charlesbennett6242 Great lineup of machines you’ve run. We loved our 8820 too! Neighbor bought ours and still run it!
This is awesome, grew up in eastern Arkansas with a 55B combine. So many memories! Thank you
Thanks for watching and the kind words. We should have another video out next weekend with some more footage of the 40 in a different field.
GOOD JOB! Keep that old green iron running!!!!! When I was a kid I ran some JD 55's and 95's. Still hate to eat all the dust when the wind blows the wrong way. LOL
@@garyl6375 All great combines
great video sometimes we need to get back to old school it takes the stress away that was beautiful wheat
@@danmaggert7119 Thank you!
That's about triple the yield of wheat compared to when the '40 was new! Running good!
@@glennspreeman1634 very true!
The old 40 is gettin r done!! Pretty smooth runner!! Super sharp 720 also…..
@@karljacobson1575 Thank you!
Very, very neat.
@@nailedt0thecr0ss Thank you
That’s very cool
Seeing those 2 combines in the same field
@@terryknesek6922 Thank you!
Great video good to see y'all
Hey, the old stuff will still get the job done. Just takes a little while longer😅
Beautiful boys !!😂😂👍👍
The video of the 680 following the 40 was impressive.....looked like a scene out of a pacman game.....what a change in 64 +/- years.. ..
@@alexshields1520 It’s been crazy to own the simplest combine and one of the most high tech!
Its crazy I could climb in that modern machine and go "ok i got this" while looking at 65 different switches and buttons but take 2 hours to figure out how to opperate the other one with 2 levers and a steering wheel 😂
@@thatrandomguycommenting1261 That’s funny 😁
I’d say that’s like Fred Fintstone meeting Buck Rogers ! Cool to see how good the old 40 still works.
@@andymroczek5936 Now that’s funny 😆
Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
@@hm12460 Thanks for watching!
I had the pull type version of that combine for a lot of years, a model 42. It was a round back also. It was a nice simple little machine! It worked well after I put new aftermarket cylinder bars in it!
@@jimtrewartha2594 I would love to have a 42 someday, thanks for the comments.
@@Thewaywefarm You don't see many of them! Mine went to a collector at East St Louis IL. I live in SW WI.
Hi Tom, great video!! That old 40 combine did a great job! There was a time when that 40 was new, people looked at that like we look at the 680! That 40 was the latest and greatest. Who knows,, the farmer that got that 40 new may have stepped up from a binder and threshing machine!!
@@michaelwellman3485 That’s right, I said can you imagine the neighbors binding wheat or oats across the fence looking over at the 40, had to be quite the talk of the neighborhood in 1960! Thanks for the comments!
Sure wish I wasn’t in Oregon right now or I’d be there asking for a ride along 👍 I grew up on one of those and thought I was BIG TIME FARMING 😀‼️
U were
Happy wheat harvest.
@@bigtractorpower That was a fun day!
Awesome drone footage !
@@timwilcoxsr2712 Thanks Tim
Do you guys bale your straw? If not, you might want to look into it. There seems to be a market for it with construction and landscape companies. Love that you still bring out the old school equipment.
@@zacharymcdowell5410 The neighbors bale it for their dairy farm, we aren’t set up to handle straw however you are correct.
@@Thewaywefarm I was wondering that same question and read the comments before asking. Thanks
We had pull behind combines. Ones like yours were few and far between.
@@timmieclark9976 What part of the country was that? My Dad had a pull type years ago.
Hopefully yours was pto driven , the allis we had with the Wisconsin engine power plant on it was good but when it got hot you couldn't shut it down or it wouldn't start till tomorrow
Great video!
looks like its doing a goood job.
This is cool, I don't care who you are..
@@snakerancher 👍🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
Hello everyone Tom great vidéo
Great video!! New subs from Argentina!
@@JoseCalissano Welcome aboard Jose. Would love to visit your country someday!
@@Thewaywefarm You will be welcome!
Better sample than the new ones
Lookin good
@@walterlaubscherjr2011 Thanks Walter!
My uncles legs were not that good looking. Same combine I think. 😂.
@@jonlundquist3598 Now that’s funny 😆
Awesome:) the Litle one work like Big one:)!! is that Peterbilt on the side;)?!
@@982Bero Yes, we have a 1978 Peterbilt 359, a 2000 Peterbilt 379 and in this video is our 2002 Peterbilt 379.
Awesome video Tom...some really neat living pieces of history you've got there! Nice to stay in touch with our roots. Reminds me of my first ride on a combine when I was a boy...our family had a 55eb sq-back, no cab, bought new from Stub Webb. All I remember was eating dust and chaff in my eyes. Whats the dealer sticker on your 40?
@@EDBZ28 I’m going to have to look, I can’t remember.
vary cool
2 good nice
Cool
Gee, how are you able to cut wheat with that little 40? Have you got a computer stashed away somewhere on it or is it that AI in the opertor's seat, lol.
@@joesharp4547 it’s not easy 😆
I absolutely love this video. How do you get 90 bushel wheat?
@@paulthegreat3521 We plant heavy and fertilize for about 100
We run a 1660&a 3300
@@timmywade1313 Now that’s a great pair of combines!
✊️
Come on, driver, that cut is way not straight😂.
The way it was
Hi sr.Do you have any wheat milling pleas?
No air conditioning, no cab, no gps with auto steer. How would this new generation of farmers survive if this the type of equipment was all that was available? Also no cell phone use on this type of equipment. The cruel weather conditions that this new generation of farmer would have to deal with to farm. This new generation of farmers would not last two years in farming
@@stevehaller6332 Very true! I grew up without cabs!
@@Thewaywefarm I would have liked to have seen a butane tank on this combine that would really confuse the new generation of farmers we have today
Very cool! I have recently purchased a JD 105. Harvested some corn with it. Took me a while to get it set up right, but did a really nice sample. Good fun!
From Queensland Australia.
@@chriscantwell204 105s were and are rare around here. Glad you have a working one. I admire your country! Thanks for watching and the comments!
@Thewaywefarm thanks. Apparently there is still a few in use in our area. This is my first harvester I've owned, normally use contractors. Still needs some things fixing, but it's in working condition. So happy days!
Good afternoon. I'm a new subscriber from Canada. Love this video of your John Deere 40 combine. Nice little machine. I run a 4420 on 200 acres. I bought this 9 years ago and love running it. Sure puts a guy in good humor. Anyways, really enjoy your channel. Best of luck with your harvest.
@@user-qt8ls1rz9x Thanks Steve for the kind words! 4420s were popular around here, haven’t seen one running in a few years. We finished our wheat yesterday and have only a few acres to finish for our friends.
