The 8820 and the 7720 JD combines to me where the most efficient,farmer friendly and built to last combines that JD ever made and then they went and broke the mold! Today's combines and other equipment is not farmer friendly nor is it built to last!
ohhhhhhhhhhhh man I would have loved beeing a young 15 year old boy back in the start 90ies and beeing driving those machines the were so much nicer than the equipment we have today !!!! to bad I only were 4 years in 1990. : Nice video !! best regards from René Madsen in Denmark
Ran a 6 row, row crop bean head back in the 80's with a JD 7700. Could run faster than a platform header. Thought it was cool, because they were uncommon.
those were good combines back in the day but now we will run more grain through S780in one year than a 9600 in five years so anyone saying the new combines ain’t built last don’t know what they’re talking about I think the new ones are awesome
They looked like corn heads but were actually different. Had rotary cutoff knives at the front of each row unit to shear the beansoff. Also used for harvesting sunflowers
I miss running them combines to it brings back memories
These old farming videos give me a warm feeling from when I was a 5 year old , tractor loving boy
great videos! I was a 10 year old kid in 1990, drooling over these combines at farm shows. Love the JD FWD's running in their prime too. Love 8650's!
Back when row crop heads were cool. Love seeing that 853A!
Still have one!!!
Those Rowcrop heads were awesome back in the day we ran two of them
We ran them all the way up until 2018
Back in the good days!!!!☝️
Big farmers even at that time. All long rte 38 farm a lot of ground.
I still have 8 years before I came into
The world best equipment Deere ever made is in the 90s 55 series to the 8000 series
Im glad that youngins my age get to see what it was like to farm back in the day. thanks for the vids
Great to see Fud and Julie B and Bob B! Was this over near Vernon Toppe's place?
He’s flying through the field, dang!
One of the advantages to a row crop bean head was speed! Could go as fast as you could stay on the row.
@@j.p.faivrefarms I barely remember those days!

Yah we still have the 6620s on our farm
Well I think the sts series was a technology friendly machine then JD lost the American way of doing machines
We run a John Deere 9770 STS a John Deere 9600 and a John Deere 7720 Titan 2, all row crop dually tires, and those are all great combines
We run a 6620 and 7720 very good combines we do work on them a good amount but that’s because they’re older than dirt
We also run a 3020 4440 4850 and 7520, all very good tractors our 4440 my grandpa bought brand new and it’s still all original to this day

Not good for rocky fields, tho. Lol

They are good combine I used to run the 8820 6620 and I love them in that time but I like the new one
Hope all is well
Row crop heads left alot of beans behind IMO
They used corn heads back the

And back before all that beeping gps crap
9600 s were as reliable a header as you could buy, lacked capacity but they just ran day in day out.
