Well done gentleman. A fine example of the entrepreneurship of the American Farmer! Im looking forward to watching the repairs
Glad everyone is okay . Working around heavy machinery on a slop is never good. But you guys did a great job. Equipment can be fixed or replaced, but human life can't be. Great job guys
Happened to me twice on my 7700 when I had floaters on it. Once right side once left. The second time all I said was catch on fire catch on fire but no luck. Now I have 24's and no more problems. Be safe out there we need you.
Nice team work! Beautiful combine, glad no one got hurt!
They did a dern good job of it, and Safely, they had the right equipment and the brains to make it all work.
Now we need to see the repair work great video
Nice teamwork there. I had to recheck when these units were built, as that thing has been so well looked after.
That was an excellent recovery.. no damage on your behalf..good job boys...Stay safe
Most farmers are high level agricultural engineers and that was a professional recovery
great job!
I like the way you keep a cool attitude during a catastrophe, Excellent video!
Who ever the operator is, two rules. . Never do end rows with a full load. Never turn on a downhill grade with a full load. I'm really happy that this unit didn't completely land on it's side or worse. I could see from the way the rear wheels were turned, the operator was doing a sharp turn with an obviously full load into a fairly steep grade down. That was a beautiful recovery you guys made. Hopefully with some new parts and some wrench and hammering time she'll be as good as new again, soon. I'm sorry it happened to you, but in every mistake, we learn a lesson. Always off load into a cart when your near full or full before taking any kind of turn on steep grade. I'm just thankful no one was hurt and this happened so close to your shop. Again, great recovery guys, very impressed. God Bless y'all.
thanks for the comment! We were lucky it wasn't worse I am sure he will be keeping it lighter in the future
If that was possible. Lol. A lot of this stuff is nothing but hills and end rows. But I know what you mean.
It’s like a bit IQ test for the driver , he will work it out .
You sound like someone who has done this once or twice :D
These machines should easily cope with this amount of stress from normal operation! No excuses there
Yep, grew up on a 6600 combine. Love those old machines.
KUDOS TO YOU FOR KNOWING YOUR MACHINES LIKE YOU DO. GOD BLESS.
The thought process , the men helping to get the combine to a level spot , it shows patience & talent , being calm !! Amazing work that will have to be done ! Stay strong , continue on & best of luck getting it all back to working order , stay safe everyone !!!
Great video.
In my last video I used the word dagnabbit. After watching this video I didn't really have a true dagnabbit. On a side note that is the cleanest 6620 I have ever seen. I wish you well with the repair and putting that machine back in service 🙏
Thank you for the kind words
Great job!
Amazing how calm everyone seemed. I know stuff happens on the farm and in real life, but that looked catastrophic. Glad for your explanation narrative, I calmed down after understanding the various issues. Many thanks! Stay well, stay safe!
Catastrophic is when there is some sort of electrical issue, especially one that requires JD to plug a computer in. This is just a broken piece of metal. might cost a lot but most anyone can do the repair. When its a computer related issue, they tend to cost a lot more, take longer and often don't get resolved the first few times.
@@MichaelMantion Thanks, Michael! I didn't realize how much the electronics play a part in the overall operation. Wow...
Seeing the plantations makes me want to come to work
That has to be the cleanest 6620 I've seen since the 1980s. Hopefully you're able to get back together without breaking the bank.
It was one of the first harvesters i operated ... and im close to 60 now ... as an analogue machine, once you learnt its quirks and understood how temperature, humidity and grain moisture interact with the machine and how it thrashes, it was easy enough to get clean grain in the box, chaff out the back (with hardly any grain loss) ... and watch the hours tick by
NOT IF YOU SEND IT TO THE DEALER THEY WILL F**K YOU BIG TIME
Man, I really love smart people at work....
Just wandered onto your channel after seeing you over @DieselCreek. Glad I came. You got a new subscriber.
That was fun watching!
this was a thrill to watch, you guys are so resourceful with this recovery. everything seemed so well planned.
Wow, great video. Never seen this from this angle. Keep it going.
Sam
i,ve watched ths 3-4times and always amaze.s me how great u all work toghter . you send a great pic to young people how family means everything
Awesome recovery!!!!! you guys almost looked like you knew what you were doing!!! thank God it wasn't worse!
Nice treat for the birds to find.
I think you guys got it under control. The good thing is that nobody was hurt. Time for a prayer 🙏.
Great job men. You can't beat farmer ingenuity.
And integrity. From Columbus,Nebraska.
There is nothing better than a little family time . Have a good one.
Thanks for the explanation of the damage at the end. Don’t see a lot of combine damage in NE NJ. 👍👍
FARMERS ARE CLEVER PEOPLE. GREAT JOB.
I love the 'can do' attitude of country boys, you can put your hand to anything and have fun doing it. Great video.
Found your channel while watching Diesel Creek. This is an interesting recovery. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Always nice to have one good chain on hand!
1/2" are a must with the 240. It has a little too much umph for 3/8
I had no ideas that could happen on a combine I'll tell you what that was this has been an interesting video watching how you guys recovered it kudos to you and your dad and your brothers
I sent this to my cousin and he says this is a relatively old combine but in amazing shape! It must have spent its life in a barn :) He was interested in how the hill climber combines were setup and found this very interesting.
Thanks for the video and we hope it all worked out for you.😀
Same thing happened to me twenty years ago going down the road with a load on a standard 6620. The axle had been cracked for a while when it broke. Insurance rebuilt that entire side from the damage. Ran the combine another 16 seasons after the repair.
I never take a loaded combine down the road. Combine will get bouncing!
I am amazed how many broken axles comments have come from this video! definitely not uncommon it is interesting to hear everyone's stories
Nice oldie machine, she'll be like new again.
Nice job getting the combine out of the field. Liked how calm you stayed through out the video.
Yelling doesn’t help a situation
@@ScrappyIndustries 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@@ScrappyIndustries I would have still said something either loud or ugly. unlike me, You are a true gentleman.
Yikes! That had to be a wild ride with a high pucker factor when that happened. Especially on the downhill side. Good to see it wasn't a worse outcome.
For sure! He says he wasn't scared.... i think the cab would have stunk if it happened to me!
Can’t help but notice the irony of the “sidehill” decal whilst the machine sits very broken… sideways…. On a hill.
Man that was and is a great looking 6620. I’ve got one myself. It’s been completely gone through. Runs like a champ. After looking at yours, mine needs a wax job! Ha!
Could have been a lot worse. You guys were patient and did an nice job getting it down to the shop. Nicely done.
I spent several thousand hours in a 6620 standard cutting wheat and barley, just sold it a couple of years ago, always shedded it.
After seeing this I’m sure JD sent a TSB on this right here. 6620 owners are looking at their axels all over place. Great recovery guys.
so sad.hope the best for you,sir.
In over 60+ years of being around farm equipment, I have never seen a combine to this before. Good job on the recovery and getting it moved to the yard.
good luck & best wishes ...
Looks like a normal day farming with older equipment. Looks like a pretty sharp 6620. Don’t see a bunch of hillside machines in Southeast Michigan. Definitely nice to have some big iron to make the job a little easier. Good luck getting it back together. Thanks for the video.
Mercy!
nice combine in the 80's
Nice combine now.
Nice job taking it back to the barn. Maybe we will see the repair. I’m a new subscriber. Enjoyed
15:00
That Sidehill logo is a nice touch
Nicest titan 2 I've seen for quite some time!!
Thanks! It’s my cousins baby
You have a new subscriber!
Very nice looking older machine. It looks like a really well cared for John Deere machine. Those 6620 and 7720 turbo side hills are great machines. Just need to take extra care when a full to partial full load situation on hills. I hope she can be fixed for many more working ours. Good luck! 🇺🇸
This machine works really fast
Could have been worse.No one got hurt ,the combine will need some tlc but this is the joys of machinery best wishes from Ireland 👍👍
Sorry for your troubles but thank for explaining everything
Stressed beyond its mechanical limits.
We had a 7720 that did the same thing on the other side just a treat
Just wow...the lord had his hand on that unit..😀😀😀😀😀
new to channel. thats going to cost some money for sure. I am so very glad that no one got hurt. Thank you guys
Talked to your dad today & he told me about your recovery, looking forward to catching up with you, haven’t talked to you in a while!
Sounds good!
Dear John RIP
I thought you were going to load the header on the back of the golf cart!!!!!! Hardee Har Har!!!!! Ah, the unseen joys of farming...
What did it cost to repair this?
Great job Sam.. thanks for sharing.
Did you have to buy any new parts?
That is bad never seen any thing like it hop you be able to fix it 👍 👌
Yikes, that’s sucks man. Glad nobody got hurt.
THATS WHAT YOU CALL A LUCKY BRACK . 😊😊
Holy crap! That could have been so much worse including a serious injury. Very nice save. Liked and subscribed and was brought here by Matt at Diesel Creek.
did they ever fix this combine? like see video on fixing this combine.
Video on the whole repair?
Your stick and bucket cylinders have more leverage than the boom. Use all the boom then go to the stick or bucket cylinders. Woops you just did it, nice! Keeping the boom as low as possible helps if you shorten the chain. Your fortunate to have that 240.
Gosh ! I hope you let us know the progress on the repair
Feeder housing is strong for picking it up. Claas comboines are loftes that way in factory.
Your doing just great! You seem to have everything in control & know what your doing. If the warranty is no longer in force is it going to be feasible to repair or is it a total loss & all its good for is to part it out?
I was just kidding on the warranty this machine is around 40 years old lol she is back together now!
I feel your pain had the same thing happen twice insurance covered it both times
That is still a good looking 6620. I hope the repair went well. My son helped with a 2388 that broke an axle. It was a 4"x6"x1/4" rectangle. They fixed it in the field but of course they didn't have hills to deal with.
Thanks she is back up and running! It will be back in the field this fall
That was a nice video. Hopefully not to expensive to fix.
We had a 7720 break the final drive in a rice field. We were driving cribbing to China before it was finally able to hold the weight to get the machine up. Changed everything right there and went back to cutting that day. I even had time to go register for college afterwards.
Good assessment at the end. That's pretty much how it goes. Ya, for curiosity's sake you can usually tell where the old cracks were and the fresh break happened by discoloration. Not all that useful except maybe to look there at the other side, if it is in a visible area.
There are spray kits than can help detect cracks, but I dunno if you wanna get carried away like that or not.
Magnaflux is one way to determine cracking. I've found it works better than the spray on kits. Magnetic particle inspection also works, but is pricey.
Glad it wasn’t any worse praying for you to get fixed soon
Good thinking the way you recovered it hope insurance covers it
It could have been a lot worse! Great job getting it to a good working location without further damage!
Please give sweet Laura a thumbs up
Ive done alot of sidehill final drives on 9500's 9510's... know how this battle goes.
Feeder houses are rarely destroyed, but frames can easily be torqued.
Like you, I thought I was looking at a ''dead'' combine, too!
I'm glad this beautiful and now quite rare combine, is going to make a full recovery, and not just parted out.
Long live this 6600 SideHill!
Did you get it all fixed?
I think you ought to sell it as, is or part it out if there’s no warranty left. I’m sure you’ll make the
the best decision for the situation!
I seen another 6620 sidehill do the same thing on the same side. It happened on flat ground and didn't hurt anything on the feeder house.
I've seen plenty Russian videos of wheels breaking off of equipment, but haven't seen that with a John Deere before. Looking at that fancy joint certainly explains a few things, tho.
I only remember once growing up seeing one neighbor who broke a front wheel off a tractor. My dad just responded, "That happens to him every year." lol
I dunno what the problem was, but by dad said the axle was built too light for what the farmer was using it for.
In Norway our machinary insurance normally covers damages like this, and I would suppose that it is something like thag in your machinary insurance too.
Fun to watch this but I realize it was a big deal. NICE combine, by the way. It is in really good shape minus the wheel issue.
I bent the auger on a 6600 for the first time since 1996 never happened till this year!!!!
That must’ve been a wild ride when that axel snapped
