I really enjoyed this video hearing about the history of the Titan ll nice to see real farmers use older equipment still I also love the GMC rolling out thats awesome
That's a smooth running machine. I always appreciated the work to keep the older equipment alive and well.
I’ve been following your channel for at least twelve years and I have never thanked you for your works and labors that go into your work. Thank you Jason ! Your travels to all the locations that you cover in our nation are deeply appreciated and Im sure inspire younger generations to pursue the realm of agriculture being a viable lifestyle. Another good video today!
The Turbo decal of course indicated a turbocharged diesel as did the Turbo 7700. We had a 7700 followed by 2 consecutive yellow roof 7720s. Second one was a deal as it was bought new at 1 1/2 years old during the farm crisis. (I think the Titan II was already available) The most trouble free combines we ever ran. 9500,9600 also very reliable. Then they started making the "electronic princesses".
That thing sounds good. Looks like it’s been taken care of
Awesome Jason..... When I started farming 40 years ago this combine would have been a beast... Now the new ones are mind blowing
It's really nice to see some classic machines in action. These still seem new to me.
I remember seeing the 8820s for the first time in the CBS movie of the week American Harvest. They were so cool.
Enjoyed the video Jason. They have taken very good care of that machine! You don’t have to use the latest and greatest to get the job done.
Beautiful video. That takes me back to my childhood. I remember an 8820 pulling into the field next to us running our old CII. That thing looked like it was racing through the field. Always wanted one. Never did run a Titan but I was pretty happy when we upgraded to a '78 model 7700 a few years later.
Dad use to have a 7720 Tii in the late 80s early 90s! Those were great times as a kid!!
That's a sweet combine, and a very cool old GMC, thanks for the share
Two cool machines getting the harvest in. The GMC is a stand out truck.
Still my favourite combine to own, irony that the JD flagship combine price at the mid 80's wont buy you a header for JD flagship combine today
The titan series is just amazing to see😄👍 the old reliable machines will always get the job done😉👍
Love it, grew up driving my dad's 7720 Titan II, many memories of plugging the feeder house
I run a 6620 yellow roof with a belt pickup! Love these old machines!👍
Very very cool.
My Uncles had 2 of these while farming about 5000 acres in the mid 80s. These were the best.
Very cool. What crops were they harvesting?
@@bigtractorpower Corn. Soybeans. Some Wheat. My Grandpa taught them to farm together to save money on machinery.
will they handle 8 row corn heads.
Im a case ih guy but i can say that these were a great machine just like the 9600’s and 9610’s that followed them. You won’t catch a green combine on our farm but my uncle and cousin run them and I can’t say too many bad words about them
I like those Deere combines, heck I like most of brands you show on here! Thanks Jason!
Thank you for watching. They are all great harvesters. The 8820 is extra cool
I believe most of the sped up cleaning shoes were converted back to the slower speed as they had a tendency to come apart
The European built MF 625 combines used to suffer from that problem too, according to a one time Dealership for said machines. Would have made sense to beef up the main structure of the shoe, rather than simply speeding up the mechanism. Am guessing that that why the JD cleaning shoes failed also - lack of additional built in strength ?
As you can see how fast this guy is going the 8820 needs a 30ft head. Spent thousands of hours in a Titan II 8820. It doesn't like tough green stem soybeans but what bine does? The weak link is the clean grain elevator. Couldn't get the clean grain away fast enough in corn and will spit it out the back. Ours had duals, tip top grain bin extensions and an agleader yield monitor, also had Kuchner modifications done all over it. Not to mention having the power turned up and longer unloading auger, 4wd than this one in the video. The other one we had was basicaly stock. Both together would knock out some ground
Just a recommendation, film some sidehill combines harvesting wheat in the Palouse/Walla Walla region of SE Washington. Not only breathtaking scenery, but some of the steepest hills you’ve ever seen a machine working on.
I spent the summer out there in my RV and rode on quite a few combines. It was so easy to pull up into a field and talk to one of the guys sitting in the grain truck and ask if you can take some pictures. Next thing you know they will ask you if you want to take a ride on the machine itself…uh, yes, please!
Farming in the Midwest, where I’m from with corn, wheat, and soybeans is child’s play compared to the hills those combines operate on. I think the kids would call it X-treme farming.
Spent some time driving a green roof 8820 with 30 foot header on a friends farm in ND. Was a bit of a step up from the Claas with a 10 foot header I was used to driving.
I have a 7720 and a 6620, both are yellow top! Still good machines!
the 8820 has to be my favoint combine by john deer 2588 is my favorint case combine
Both great combines.

Had an 8820 T2 was not as reliable as the 7720, capacity was only slightly higher than the L3, but the Gleaner would buck mud, where the 8820 would just get stuck.
Nice machine. I have an older 8820, but it is supposed to have the titan II upgrades done to it. It is a reliable beast. We are in wheat harvest now and my Dad's 9500 had a major malfunction and my 8820 is doing all the harvest this year. I really like the job it does
The 9500 is a popular combine. I grew up around allot of 9500’s and 7720s. Very nice that you have an 8820.
What a great combine. Well kept and on duals make it really stand out! I absolutely enjoy wheat harvest.
It’s a cool one. Right out of the sales brochure on duals.
Awsome video! The John Deere 8820 is my favorite combine (even though it came 10 years before me). My favorite models in my collection are my John Deere 8820 Titan II and John Deere 8400. It’s hard to believe that the 8820 was considered to be one of the big combines at one time, especially when we have John Deere X9s and Case IH AF11s now!
You out did yourself with this video. Great machine with alot of them around in North Central Iowa. ❤❤😊😊
The 8820 is a cool combine. Great to know there are some still going strong in Iowa.
Man there were digging that downed wheat off the ground…..nice work.
Back in the 80s I ran a 6620 Titan 2 sidehill machine. It was a great upgrade with the extra size on the sieves. Yes it had a green roof.
Very good 😮😮😮
Good Man, Thanks for the Jimmy General in action.
A good friend of mine has a nice 8820 that has been troublesome along with the 7700 his grandpa had. I keep telling him to come ride in my 9500 and see it run circles around the 8820. He’s pretty partial to the 88 but it makes for a great debate over shop beers😂
Great video as usual.
Green roof machines also had bigger inlets into the cleaning fan to help increase capacity.
There was also an update for yellow roof machines, the factory supplied templates to cut out the cleaning fan inlets to the same size as the newer machines.
Elongating the bolt holes on the fan mounting pedestals allowed the fan to be moved closer to the cut off plate which forced more air into the sieve area to also help increase cleaning capacity.
Thank you. I appreciate the info. It will be helpful for a future 8820 video. I used the 1985 one page intro brochure for the details in this video.
AWESOME AWESOME awesome. What a beautifully well-kept Titan ll. I love these machines. You should set up a vote on your channel to see if people prefer the yellow tops or green tops. Great video & filming.
Great video!!!! I still use a 7720 turbo.
We ran a 8820 on our farm from 1979 till 2003. Two different machines first one 79-80,then second one 81-2003.8 row cornhead, 18-20 ft small grain platform.
thank you IV been Waiting so long for this to come out
Love me some John Deere. And have drove a 7720.We had 2 of the 6620 combines
Very nice. I featured a 6620 Turbo in corn a few years ago.
Great video for sure.....
Excellent video, a very classic and good machine. greetings.👍🏻🚜
We use a yellow cab 7720 to harvest corn and beans there's quite a few 20 series especially 6620 combines still used in Minnesota
The one I got to ride in had the HRWA option and he was running his grain head harvesting northern beans. That was in either 1994 or 5, but can't recall for sure now. He also had an almost new 4960 and a 4440 and a couple other utility sized tractors, one was a 6000 series open station JD and one was an Oliver, but don't recall the model of that one. All his equipment looked like new.
Thanks for the video love the 80s Deere😊
Great era in farm equipment.
I wish someone would made a nice 1/64 scale 8820T2
Oh im in love!!!
The 8820 is a cool combine.
Great video my friend 👍
The Titan combines in wheat harvest are always fun to film.
Awesome video! Would like to see some with older New Holland TR combines. Thanks for the Ford New Holland history video several years ago! I was a person who requested that. 🙂
Sadly never saw them here in germany. In our area there were the 960/ 970/ 1070 series.
Remember being a child standing in front of the 975 thinking what a big combine (today one little oldtimer combne).
Nice classic 👍👍. Don’t see many 8820s here in my area in north central Indiana.
8820? That's going full Delorean, at 88mph! Ok, Dad joke. That machine is really taking in the grain! Newest isn't always bestest. 👍👍
Big conventional combines are still very efficient imo.
I always wondered what the deal was with the yellow roof on those combines. Thanks for explaining!!!
Great combine in generation 1 and generation 2.
It’s driving me nuts that he is not cleaning off that mess on his header!!🤯😂
Yeah, that's a bad operator. I see the crop has laid down, but letting that go on is ridiculous. Next thing you know the header is broken and the operator says I have no idea what happened.
@@thomashanke6750 😂
I know, right - same here !
@@thomashanke6750 I have a full video on my channel explaining why that's happening. Great operators dealing with a challenge.
@@tractorchasers you can see it's affecting the header operation. Not saying it's a pain in the butt, risking breaking the header during harvest is the issue we are bringing up. Now if that's how they want to run their equipment, fine, they're paying the repair bills. Maybe next time don't show someone running equipment like this.
Keep the video's coming
Many more wheat harvest videos on the way.
"Race against the harvest" movie
A very inspiring video indeed. It is though interesting to see that with a 22 foot header most people only cut 20 feet... my drivers are instructed to use the full width, or they will get a smaller combine.
I find in straw production farms cut a little less so that the windrow will fit in the baker pick up. 22ft is all a 348 baler will take in. Any more and it will leave the edges of the windrow. The is way you make good straw and have a full width in soybeans.
@@bigtractorpower Oh yes, I appreciate that. But 20 or 22 ft in the front will still come out the same width in the tail end. But let's not get lost in that... I rather enjoy seeing harvest is going on! BR Sven
Used to own the one with the flag
She was mine. WTF?
Well cared for GMC General!
I was wondering if anyone might notice the GMC. The truck is as cool as the combine.
Super💯video as always
The 8820 is a cool machine to feature.
Another nice video 👍👍👍
Thank you Craig.
Good video.
Thank you Frank. The 8820 is a cool combine.
I remember a guy who was selling a 7720 turbo along with a 9965 cotton picker and a bowl buggy
Enjoyed the video. Regards from Down Under.
Thank you for watching. The 8820 is a cool combine.
One of the many reasons my dad was more deaf in his right ear...great combines. Ours needed more sound deadening with that motor screaming 2 feet away.
Massey Ferguson Combines weren't any Quieter
@rickiemckillip8124 yeah that's funny...it was an upgrade from a 550 Massey. 🎧
We had a yellow top, with the grain sensor monitor, modified the straw walkers in ours
Also we had the straw chopper that was hand crank from the cab
I like the Turbos. What did you modify on the walkers?
@@bigtractorpower we had the titan 2 turbo 8820 with yellow cab, grain monitor, hand crank in cab to lower raise straw spreader after market, loved that combine!!
I had a 7720 in 1984 and had a neighbor operating it, had wife on Ih 1086 on New Holland baler and me on a 1047? Stack wagon and did 10,000 + bales in 9 days but that was a Long time ago
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri
Hi James.
We had a yellow cab titan 2 8820!
Very interesting. Is it a 1985 model?
Does it not hurt anything having that crop wrapped all around the end of that header?
My friend
Thank you for watching
We have a 7720
7720 Turbo yellow roof standard two-wheel drive with an 18-ft head the second 7720 Titan 2 hydrostatic with a 25-Ft head green roof
Very cool harvest team.
Great machines, until you have to do repair work on them
The overall general design is a dead on match created by a Massey Ferguson 510
Fergieman
Looks like it does a pretty good job vs the million dollar plus machines...sure, probably slower...but saving a million bucks probably makes up for a lot.
👍👍👏👏🚜🚜
i seen this video from another guy yesterday.hhim?
I have the green roof 8820 Titian 2
Making that in Mexico yet?
It was built 35 years ago in East Moline, IL. This one is all American.
I run a 7720 with the yellow roof
Very cool. My second all time favorite combine.
@@bigtractorpowerwhat’s your favourite?
Too bad you couldn’t have taken video of the inside
Tight cab though
Not like todays machines
The buddy seat is the seat arm rest. I did do a cab ride along in a 6620 Turbo in this video th-cam.com/video/umIJV6ev6BQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QkMtmdZRLJrcdI-h
I have a couple of 8820 Titan 2 as spares. Don't get many hours in but always enjoy the chance to run them want to do. Do you know how many bushels the gravel truck held
We haul about 400 bushels with it
there's a lot of straw in that field.
Yes the round baler is running behind the combine. I think a few clips show the bales
Is that Walt Duncan Driving?
Best movie ever. “Glory hallelujah look at the beauties we ought to put flags on them “. I remember watching it on TV when it was released on January 16, 1987.
Not made in Mexico yet
This combine was built in East Moline IL 35 years ago.
Is that a solar flag powering that machine?. 🤣😆😂
His house. He live in the combine
First
Thank you for your enthusiasm
