That was the first combine I ever drove it was in corn. We cut wheat, soybeans some Milo and shelled corn with one was a good machine. It was in the late 80’s.
I’ve watched a lot of BTP videos but this one really hit my heart. Not only did I spend a lot of hours in a 1460 with my dad but the farmer looks almost like him. He farmed for over 50 years and passed in 2021.
Worked on many of those back in the day at a Case-IH dealership in Northern IL. 1680 with a Cummins engine was a big step up from 1480. The next generation 1688 with larger cleaning shoe was even better. The transition cone and elephant ears were high wear items in high yielding corn.
Years 1978 and 1979 I worked for a framer in Rugby North Dakota. He farmed and had a custom harvesting business. In 1978 in Dodge City Kansas we got two 1480's off of a flatbed train car. We had to wait 3 days for the combines to arrive. When they arrived we could not wait for the implement dealer (in 1978 it was Brady Implement) to get the combines off of train so we did it. These machines were beasts in 1978 and in every town we stopped we drew a crowd of people wanting to see the 1480's in action. Nothing out cut the 1480. We started in Ashland Kansas and finished near Martin South Dakota. Back then the winter wheat country pretty much ended in southern South Dakota and changed over to spring wheat. From Martin we headed home to Rugby to get ready for the spring wheat harvest. Thanks for the video. Brings back a lot of good memories.
Always loved the old axial flows. Glad IH was able to get the production started before the buyout. The farm I work for bought a 1660 combine last winter, and I spent a good part of the summer giving it some love and and attention. As she was in need of some replacements and repairs. It harvested headlands and smaller varieties of soybeans. Since we are a seed soybean and wheat grower, we try to keep our 2 7240 case lh combines in the large acre varieties so we can be more efficient. Our 1660 picked about 300-400 acres of soybeans without any major trouble after my summer work. The old stuff sure is simpler to work on😂
Most 1480's were built with the DT466 rated at 210 HP, not the 436 at 190 HP mentioned in this video. The switch to the 466 for all 1480's was made in 1981, although Rice Specials 1480's had it before that.
That was quite an upgrade from the 915!!! They had some early problems, but overall a good machine. Dad combined alot of corn with the 1480. Great video and excellent commentary too. John T.
This is a 1981-1984 1480 combine because it has electric over hydraulic header controls that debuted in 1981. Also, in 1981 the 1480 changed to a DT466 engine rated at 210HP that remained through the end of production in 1985.
Great video. You need to do a video on low cost combine harvesters from 100-250k range and other low cost farming equipment cause these days its as if everything is bigger and above 500k which many can't afford
We have run red combines on our farm as long as I can remember. The earliest I remember was a 1660. They had a 715 or 815 before that. Now we run a 2366. I've also run my cousins 2388 and now his 7130
We currently use a 1480 for wheat, we have another 1480 we use for corn, and we just sold a 1460 we used for beans. We just bought a 1680. Going threw top to bottom. It had the short sivs in it, I'm putting the heavy-duty arms n knew bushings in and longer sivs. Can't wait to use it.
Nice video. I had a 1460 European on my farm here in Australia. It had 4000 hours from memory when I got it and I ran it to 8000 hours. It needed an engine rebuild at that stage so I upgraded to a low hour 2388. The Europeans had the air screen on the back like a 1660 and the cab filter on the opposite side to the door. The mechanic that did up the fuel pump for me said that it had a DT466 instead of the 436 engine. I’m not sure how he knew that.
I'm really happy to watch your video, I hope you will grow and create for the benefit of all our compatriots with love. And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.
Loved the 1400 models. My Dad bought a 1440 used. Ran it 15 seasons. Combined a lot of Pinto Beans, Malt Barley, Oats and Sunflowers. Never had a corn head for the 1440! Had a nabor thrash the corn.
Always is great to see this older combines in action.... But the international combines have too much engine horsepower and low grain tank capacity... Anyway i enjoyed the video👍👍
great find! Brings back memories of carpet farming with the axial flow combines. 100k was a lot of money back then! Wow, seems like a lot more than an 8820? I remember when a new 9500 was 125k.
My family farm in central north Dakota has been using ih ,ihc , and cnh rotary combines since 1985 when my dad bought 2 1480s. My brother started farming in partnership with dad and brought in a 1482 pull type. Then dad bought a 1680 and my brother bought a 1688. Right before my dad retired my brother bought a 2388. Keep in mind that the 1680 and 1688 are still being used every single harvesting day with the 1482 as a backup progressed to an 8010, accompanied by the 2388 and 1688. Then a 9230 and the 8010, then a 9250 then another 9250 minus the 8010. So all in all have been running ih, ihc, or cnh rotary combines for 40 years
I think that the last time the 1482 was in a field it was actually be pulled by a 855 versatile articulated 4×4 but not sure could have been dads 846 both had pros note sure. I know my brother dropped it from the farm line up the same time ruffly
It was on a river bottom that went under water early in the growing season. You get what you get some years farming on a river bank. I am there to catch the machine history not the yield.
Yeeeeeessss the elusive 1480 we’ve all been waiting for! Awesome!!!

I had a late 915, it was ok in corn and wheat, but a sorry POS in beans. We got a 93 1660 and boy was that an up grade!
We ran one in the UK. Nothing got near it back then.
Good video
Older one but still gets er done
Opa bom dia

Pretty good machines. There still seem to be quite a few of them left working, which is impressive.

We have a 1644 case international axial flow combine.we has a 6 row 30 head for corn on it and we do oats and we have a old pickup head.

I agree. 👍👍
I could watch this farmer all day. Great video and history Jason.
Awesome content... great facts and data...much appreciated.
Thank you for watching.
We’re running a Case IH 2188 combine with a 1063 corn head just like the one in this video and a 1020 flex grain head for soybeans.

We run 2 1470 hillside 4x4 combines with 24 or 25' headers on our farm, we harvest wheat and barley mostly with them
We currently use a 1480 for wheat, we have another 1480 we use for corn, and we just sold a 1460 we used for beans. We just bought a 1680. Going threw top to bottom. It had the short sivs in it, I'm putting the heavy-duty arms n knew bushings in and longer sivs. Can't wait to use it.
as former GLEANER guy in 80s , hate to admit , but that was about the best combine of its day , overall .
We had 2 1440s. One with rwa. Nice machines! My brother in law still uses his 1440.
Oldschool Case-International made some the finest farm machinery there ever was.
We went from a 715 to an 815 then a 1440 - all good machines!
Great machine harvested barley wheat beans and corn. They really shine in the corn and beans. Great engine the good on fuel

That's my kind of equipment
Looks like the field has some wet spots😮
Good video.
Nice classic
In 1981 the 1480 went to a 210hp Dt466
I used the 1981 brochure for the specs on this video. Its cover is pictured in this video.
@@bigtractorpower must have been late 81. Love the video. Grew up with IH axial flows after we traded our 815.
👏👏👍👍👌👌
My neighbor had the 1480 pull type model. Pulled it with the "anteater"!
That would be the 1482 Combine.
that's awesome, I'd love to see a picture of that.
The first combine I ever rode in was an IH 1480. A total beast of a machine..
Get it Wally Gator
Always is great to see this older combines in action.... But the international combines have too much engine horsepower and low grain tank capacity... Anyway i enjoyed the video👍👍

The international axial flow series looks pretty nice👍👍 I always love to see one at work😉👍 thanks for the video😃👍
That is interesting. How combines have evolved?
Outstanding Machine for its time! Another Great Video!
You can tell they didn't get much rain from the look of that corn.

Very cool harvesting history. All great combines. 1482s are always neat to see. What tractor did you run with the 1482 with?
@@bigtractorpower originally a john deere 4430 then a 4840 after that 4430 was relegated to running a large grain augar
The 4430 was really under powered by the way. But we all knew that. Just until dad got the 4840 didn't really have anything better
I think that the last time the 1482 was in a field it was actually be pulled by a 855 versatile articulated 4×4 but not sure could have been dads 846 both had pros note sure. I know my brother dropped it from the farm line up the same time ruffly
Excellent video once again big T 👍👍👍
Oh I loved those combines
The 1400 series are good combines.
So who does this unit belong too?
Wally
Thanks for posting
small corn
It was on a river bottom that went under water early in the growing season. You get what you get some years farming on a river bank. I am there to catch the machine history not the yield.
When this machine was a current model seems like only a few years ago to me.
I am with you. It seems like it was yesterday. Now the 50th anniversary is almost here and the 775 hp 467 bu AF10 will be on the market soon.
👍👍
