I think everyone should have the experience of running a open platform combine, you would never forget it, I put it in the same category as army basic training.
Amen, would probably end in lausuits unfortunately in America today! Not lol. We would appreciate what we have today alot more! I mean, my tractor now drives itself, has a heated leather seat. AC/heat, And I have a TV in it! Occasionally, I look even behind me. Lol. But grew up on 4020, I had a saying... you were lucky to have a fender let alone a fender radio!" End of day it gurt to close your eyes cuz they so full of dirt!!! Grrrr Society as a whole has forgotten the golden rule... you gotta work for it. And we're not actually doing so bad. We're trying to destroy the diesel engine... that's a different disappointing story! Great comment, thnx for stopping by
I agree 100%. I started out on a McCormick 151 combine when I was about 15 years old. No cab and the only AC we had was the south wind when it was blowing. But, just like you, a person does not forget that experience on an open machine and as you said everyone should get a dose of that.
@@growthefarmup2606 My grandfather was a dry land wheat farmer in Arriba, CO and we would travel out from MO each summer to help with harvest. His JD95 was a propane powered monster pushing a 16' head and I was on top of world manning the controls! -:) I still have a pic of me piloting this beast. I would be glad to send it to you if you can supply an email.

That is awesome. What years (decade or years) did u run it in? Just Curious. I know some guys still running a few in the 80's didn't see to many of em the 90's. Thanks 👍
We had a 1968 95 square back. Sure beat that old Gleener with that Hercules vapor locking engine. Got a add on cab with a water cooler and thought we were in heaven! These were great machines as long as you cleaned everything up when finished. Our neighbor never cleaned anything up. Just got off it till next year. Had to put a belly pan in his. We ran that machine up till 1990 when we switched to full cow / calf operation.
i grew up around wymore in the 60's and 70's we had 180 acres south of wymore that was the best time of my life. we had a allis chalmers wd 45 and a ac ca.
Thank you for driving a 95! Always like hearing from folks that actually drove the equipment, you have alot of information and history to pass on to the modern generation. The 95 was kind of the first real "super combine" factory on wheels! The 55 got it started. They've added ALOT of stuff since then, but like a planter, the basic function is the same. Hope you saw many bountiful harvests from up top! God bless. Thanks
We still have our square back. I haven't run it for about 10 yrs as no one will put up with the open cab ( that being the younger generation). It was a good machine back in the day. We had a 65 before the 95.
I grew up on a cab less 4020. If u don't have A.C. you don't want a cab in July anyway. U just wind up taking the windows out and then the roof is just basically a canvas sun cover (which can be put on the 95) in cold months, yea a cab was worth it. We also used to stitch real coveralls and work clothes! That would help u survive the brutal conditions! Farming is man and mother nature... and mother nature got some whoop ass in her! Farming is not for the faint of heart. Now we all got heated leather seats and cabs nicer than our living rooms, how about some respect for our forefathers that ran these machines in their infancy... before cabs. It was dangerous and brutal most of the time! Even on a nice day you got jacked up with 30 mph winds either north cold or blast furnace hot outta the south. Thanks to the pioneers grit!
We don't know how good we have it some days, modern tractor and combine cabs are like a living room. I think we need to just start putting recliners in em? Heh
We still have a 95 round back wreck dad got it new In 1961 I think ,it had flax rollers fitted which actually stopped rocks and mallee roots ( small tree stumps ) enter the concave .he had 2 square backs later on it was quite a site to see 3 95 s in action in the one paddock !R.
Awesome, where did you run them geographically? Your rock and root comment makes me wonder. How well did the rollers work for keeping out rocks and stumps and large roots? Was a major problem in places back in the day, its still a big problem today! Rock pickers and rollers have come along way. I've often wondered if the old 30 inch row bean heads worked better in some of these rocky circumstances than these huge reel heads we use today?
That's amazing... kinda makes you wonder about these "smart phones" lol. Awesome.. get video! Save this history! It's important, it will be cherished by you and many one day. Send to to my Gmail I put it up! Thanks 👍 algorithm
Have to agree with you about a lot of the new equipment it's just ugly plastic from tractors to combines to semi trucks even to Pickup trucks and cars... they just don't make em like they used to!

it’s right up there with shoveling chicken manure in July.

I like how he talks about “driver comfort” like it’s something to be proud of. Imagine what he’d say if he saw a new modern combine.!
JD 95 with a 16' grain head was the first combine I operated at age 13 in Arriba, CO. I had a shade on mine for "Operator Comfort".
Your in a elite club my Friend. Respect. Sun shade saves lives!!! Lol.

I have this exact machine it was the first combine I ever bought. We still try to get it out and use it once every few years
That's so metal! Get video... save this history my friend! Send it to my Gmail, I'll put it up!
First combine I had was 95 EB Hydrostatic Drive!!! 18 ft head what a machine…

What was your avg yeld in the 60's and 70's. Did u irrigate any? Thank for stopping by.
K.O.E. Nation signing in! Well done Grow The Farm Up! A fascinating look at Agriculture history. Keep up the good work!
Commenting for the algorithm TH-cam! Lol. How u like that Mr. EXTREEME? LOL.
EDIT; liked my own comment for extra clicks.
I remember when the 95 was a big combine, the 105 was a giant! Enjoying watching these old videos GTFU, thanks for the stroll down memory lane sir.

Man you had the world by the tail when you had a model 95

I think the combine a size smaller than the 95 was the 55.
Combines have come a long way. Now they can practically drive themselves

How about that my dad got his 95 out today and ran it next to our s670s and then this pops up….. Thats pretty cool

Love it
60 bushel flax. Wow
Bit misleading - 30% greater capacity than what ! ?
Than any other color of course. Lol.
Such a cool looking machine. Modern stuff look ridiculous with their plastic blob design.
