FLA Goes OLD SCHOOL !! That was so cool Austin, thanks for the retro look at how it was done back in the day. That 80SP may not have had all the digital high tech but it was a pretty awesome feat of engineering. How long was it before the enclosed cab and AC was added? That had to be roughing-it and then some, to ride that bad boy all day. No cushioned seat, no cooler for the drinks and snacks, no music, no GPS, no 6 panel LCD displays.... respect to those guys. So, when you went back to harvesting yourself that day, bet you didn't dare complain about anything....LOL Loved the drone shot at the end with the modern-day contrast and driving off into the sunset. If those machines could talk....they'd have some great stories to tell. Thanks bud 😎
Great vid, I just had the pleasure of driving MF S90 in the Kindersley Goosefest parade this fall. Defiantly a differant experiance then the Gleaner S7's we run.
That’s a cool old machine. I can only imagine how itchy you’d be after an entire day sitting on that thing in the dust. I have seen pictures of those with umbrellas to at least provide some sort of shade. Thank goodness for technology and air conditioning!

We have one of those. I used to play on it as a youngster. So so stinking cool to see one in action!
Awesome stuff, great to see the old stuff still running…thanks for this !!
My dad had one of these combining bought brand new
Thanks so much for sharing the vintage equipment still in use. Awesome video.
Wish engines in modern combines would sound that good :)

That old girl sounds as good as the day she was made. Stop and think how many loaves of bread she has made in her day!
I did not see where the Auto-Steer button was and the GPS globe?!?! (Ha!Ha!)
Imagine if that size equipment were running today. Many more small family farms, less mega ones, and maybe higher grain prices.
Probably not
