That’s what my Uncles bought in the 80s. 4 men taught by their Dad to farm together to save money and they did with just 2 Big Combines. 8820s. They farmed about 1200 acres each and owned several hundred each. I’m proud of them and my Dad who also did well. Great German men!
Now I feel old...lol!! Not a farmer but I remember seeing the equipment. I've just discovered these types of videos and wow how the equipment has changed, for the better in most cases, I'm sure. Keep up the good work.
In the early 2000's my family bought 2 '87 model 8820 Titan II combines and used them for 4-5 years until my grandfather passed and had to sell his 8820. But my dad still has his even though he retired several years ago. It has duals and 4wd. I loved driving it in corn with the 843 corn head and 925F in beans and wheat, which we also still have both. I miss those days. But at least I can still climb into the cab and reminisce.
The 8820 is a stand out and a monster harvester of the past. I was excited to fill. This pair in corn. The farm harvesting corn in the video has three 8820s. I hope to catch all three in wheat together. The 3rd 8820 was cutting soybeans and it has the row crop dual option.
@@bigtractorpower I have a 6610 Force II and i love it. As i am Scandinavian i also have a Volvo BM430 with a 3 cyl Perkins AD.3.152 Diesel engine. Same engine as the Ferguson 135.
Aqui do Brasil , sempre gostei de equipamento da América até temos em funcionamento arado jonh deere e um 820 jonh deere ainda original de 1958 ,essa máquina 8820 aqui seria uma joia pra pequena e média lavoura.
I’d like to see some European farm equipment or even some of the really big farms in Australia and Europe.. the new Ukraine harvester looks like a game changer for sure.
I definitely would like to get to feature more farming around the world hopefully that will become possible. It’s just getting the time to get out and film.
It must be a large percentage of the farmers lease the larger pieces of equipment. I suppose the tax laws faver leasing vice ownership of equipment from the standpoint of deductions. Maybe the custom farming operations and land rental favor the use of these giant machines. A far cry from my days on the farm.
I think it all depends on the operation. All the farms that I know in my area by their equipment outright but I definitely hear about many people taking advantage of leasing.
This brings back memories,I purchased my first combine a 1984 7720 the last of the yellow tops in 1985 that had only 50 hrs on it. I would go on to harvest 17 crops with that machine with minimal downtime. Great video as usual Jason!
I'd often wondered why V8 engines were so common in cars and pickups, but not in heavy machinery so I researched it and this is the explanation. V8s. are great in cars because they have short strokes, a lot of high RPM power, and a very low weight to power ratio. They are very good for short bursts of power, but in cars they typically put out only 30% or less of peak horsepower. They are much less suited for large trucks, tractors, and heavy equipment which often run at 80% of full power or more and engine weight isn't an important factor. Heavy equipment engines typically run at around 2000 RPM or less. There are three common diesel pickup engines, Duramax, Power Stroke, and Cummins. Duramax and Power Stroke are both V8s and tend to have a lot of durability issues, while the Cummins is a straight 6 and might be the best light-duty diesel ever made.
Cummins might be the best engine? How many power strokes and duramax have you seen factory installed on anything but a ford or a Chevy were as you can find a Cummins in just about anything
@@stiegerstx500 That's great that you think Cummins is the best, I think most people would agree. I just used the truck engines as an example of why V8 diesels never became popular for tractors or heavy equipment.
JD had trouble with the v8 engine that is in the tractor of this video. Something about the block having a weak point near one of the cylinders, due to the engine being used as part of the frame, or something along that line. Many of them were replaced with an 855 Cummins.
The farn has three 8820 Titan IIs. I hope to catch them all together in wheat. For some reason one has an 8820 Turbo side panel and a Titan II panel but they are all Titan IIs.
I walked behind a x9-11 l was surprised at the amount of grain that was left on the ground,it was like a spreader went across the field. When I was farming in the 80's I would have been fired for that. It didn't matter if it was beans or corn. I did this during each harvest and was stunned by the amount of header loss of grain for what these machines cost compared to the 80's and what you got for the cost!
The economics of farming in the '80s was difficult to say the least. I'm of the opinion all things considered like the economics, inflation and the amount of acres you can cover in a day the new equipment is a bigger value than the new equipment of the eighties . I still have any John Deere 8820 titan 2 as a backup combine. Doesn't cover the ground as quick but it's still enjoyable to drive and run in the field.
The new equipment out now is just too computerized and high tech for me, and also way way too expensive. I will stay with the 60s, 70s n 80s models. Great video jason
Here in the land of small fields (central PA in rolling hills), tillage and harvest in the 1980s was a few guys here or there with 125-150 horsepower tractors with a cab and a whole lot of people still doing field work with open station tractors that weren't that big. A BTO was anyone with a 6620 or 7700. That's all changed now, though - farms have gone to rent like everywhere else and the machines may not be 9630s, but they're bigger stuff and larger combines (even if the largest heads aren't on them).
Their is an 8820 sitting on the side of the road on 41A south right off of exit 19 on I24, been there for at least 5 yrs., I'm sure it can be bought if anyone is looking to own a piece oh history
Ran 6600, 7700, 6620, 7720, 8820 TII combines. 8820 had duals and bin extensions with an 8 row corn head. John deere made 12 row corn heads for them and it was designed to run a 12 row head in 150 bu corn. Would also handle a 30 ft head easily as well depending on cutting conditions. Green stem soybeans would make it really growl. And who back then didn't turn the fuel up on there machines? Instead of 225 hp was closer to 300 instead. Downfall of running those bines was the heat from the engine since it was right next to the cab and the dust was much worse than a rotor combine. Grain tank with extensions would hold 290 bu vs the 220 bu from factory. Think the 6620 held 170 bu. Was a huge step up in performance between the 66 and 8820 bines.
You just can't beat old iron. Yea it's old but it's the best. U never had to worry about some stupid softwear glitch or some tiny plug or wire in the middle of a bundle of wire as think as a piece of fire wood, or some kind of def issue or def code. Of something happened while harvesting or tillage you could usually fix it or rig it to get through the day of heck even rig it to get through harvest. If something broke during tillage you 9 time out of 10 fix it, sometimes could get a part at a local auto part store to fix it or just get by. Plus in my opinion if my butt had to or is I'm the seat I might as well drive the thing. People who say " auto steer helps with fatigue has never had to sit and let GPS AUTO GUIDENCE do everything for 8 hours a day. I want to quit life after a day of Auto GUIDENCE, before being able to watch big tractor power or movies while I'm the cab , I had to TRY not to fall asleep, you know your board when you start trying to count cornstalks as u harvest to see how many actually came up. I think my kneck has been more sore since auto GUIDENCE from my head constantly rocking side to side or back and forth from falling asleep. Love the channel. You should look around sugar creek Ohio at how those boys harvest on the side of hills that most guys wouldn't try and drive up let alone drive down .those are hills
Good video Jason, i grew up driving the 6620, 7720 AND 8820 turbo, at the begining of the 90's AND today they aré still my favorite machines, i really enjoyed it
A very nice touch to your video by capturing the audio from the tractor and the chisel plow then aligning it with the Drone footage👍 thanks for taking the time to do this 👍
No 8850 or 8820's in germany (now and then) , to oversized for allowed travel on the road. How sad, 😢 I would like to see 1970's John Deere SPFH forage harvester action, bud I think you already know.
@@bigtractorpower yes, i've seen that very interesting footage. There are not much 5400 and at least 5200 left. Footage is rare and models (1/16,1/32,...)do not exist,that's sad when you never can held an original. The people, who can tell out of first hand get rare too (if even exist). But i'm lucky to know about a 5200 one hour distance from my home. Thanks for every sharing!
@@bigtractorpower we farm in Alberta the DX160s were our main units for a lot of years and also a DX 90 was our main loader tractor we still use it as a secondary loader when needed.
Sweet video. Love the nostalgia. In the 90’s there was a John Deere gen l&ll book put out, ll highlighting new gen-‘90’s , and I always remember a really good picture of an 8850 chisel plowing in the same field as an 8820 combining corn. Great book, no euro jd crap mixed in with it; all USA.
I grew up in the 80s. Seems funny how small the "big" equipment was then! We had a 15 foot chisel plow that we pulled with a 1066. Took FOREVER to plow a field! LOL! Love the videos!
It is absolutely amazing how much machinery has grown up. A 1066 was a good sized tractor in its day. I posted a picture of an international 715 combine next to a Case IH 7120 combine on Instagram this week . The 715 looks so tiny.
I don't have any 8850's, but I do use two 8760's that I use to pull two DMI chisel plows with in the fall. I love the combines in this video and I wish I had one but I use a JD 9600 and a CaseIH 2388.
The 8820 is the only combine I have ever had a chance to ride in. Pretty cool looking back at this stuff. Happy New Year BTP and family (and fellow viewers) !
The only thing i dislike is that i don't find satisfaction in my current job. It's not that i complain, as i do work with garden machinery. Still. I do want to work with heavy machines, and hopefully, i do like Jason one day
There are many farmers looking for good operators. I would recommend talking to a local grain elevator or Farm Equipment dealerships and see if anyone’s looking to take someone on.
I hope that you had a great Christmas Jason. Love the channel. I think a video of harvesting equipment from the 1990s would be great with some John Deere equipment or CaseIH. But I also would think some would be interested in International Harvester equipment from the 1970s and early 1980s.
Great video. Those were great pieces of equipment. Really enjoyed them. Maybe you could do other brands from the 80's. Or other eras. It was very interesting. Merry Christmas to you and your Family!
these videos are what make your channel so special, i love to see the tractors and combines of yesterday please keep featuring the 70s and 80s, thanks again for the awesome videos!!!!
You sure did. It was a great time in farming. I was watching tractors as a kid in the 80’s and enjoying going to local dealers to see the brand new stuff like the 8850 and 8820.
Really nice to see old machinery still in action just like they were designed to do. Why did the tractor operator raise the chisel plow for the middle section of the field? I can’t think of a reason why. Greetings from the UK
Good question. If you look at the field the chisel makes two lines running East to west where the 8850 lifts to skip as it heads north to south. The purpose of this is to leave that area unworked as it is a water flow area. By leaving that area in stubble it helps reduce soil erosion over the winter.
I am right there with you. One of my favorite movies from the 1980s was American Harvest. In the middle of the movie three brand new 8820 Titan IIs roll in to join the harvest crew. It was so cool to see.
That would be a great one I have a few clips of 1460 eights at plow days but I am still looking to find one to film out in the field for a good 10 minute feature. Hopefully one will turn up.
That’s what my Uncles bought in the 80s. 4 men taught by their Dad to farm together to save money and they did with just 2 Big Combines. 8820s. They farmed about 1200 acres each and owned several hundred each. I’m proud of them and my Dad who also did well. Great German men!

Gotta love the classics
I always enjoy finding the classic machines hard at work out in the field like they were built to.

It was fun to see that I had similar views of each machine to share in this video. Thank you for watching.
I can remember when the 8820 was the biggest combine I had ever seen!!
Got to love the 80's farm equipment. My one and only farm tractor is a 1981 Ford 7600 diesel. Still runs great even now at 40 years old.
Very nice. I am a Ford fan.
@@bigtractorpower I have a 6610 Force II and i love it. As i am Scandinavian i also have a Volvo BM430 with a 3 cyl Perkins AD.3.152 Diesel engine. Same engine as the Ferguson 135.

😁👍👍
As far as a particular time period I am a 60`s, 70's and 80's guy myself but I enjoy watching all your videos. Thank you for doing them.
Thank you for watching. Those are three. great farming decades.
The 60s and 70s were the most memorable farm small farms.
It was a great time in farm. 8 full line farm equipment makers. Lots of brands to see.
Wow how times have changed
Aqui do Brasil , sempre gostei de equipamento da América até temos em funcionamento arado jonh deere e um 820 jonh deere ainda original de 1958 ,essa máquina 8820 aqui seria uma joia pra pequena e média lavoura.
i did enjoy
Thank you for watching.
Cool to see equipment still working theses days......do think some Canadian equipment would be cool to see or how they farm.
I sure would like to do that it’s just a matter of getting the time to head to Canada in film. I sure hope to do that in the future.
Back when you had to develop the skills necessary to be successful. Those were the days.
Would love to see a 90s deere harvest video
How about a 9600 and an 8960 😁
@@bigtractorpower yes please!! 😁😁
No auto steer but tillage lines straight as can be
I’d like to see some European farm equipment or even some of the really big farms in Australia and Europe.. the new Ukraine harvester looks like a game changer for sure.

So the size of machinery has basically doubled, put the price has gone x7 or x9. ?
Prices should not have gone up so much...
Horse power, auto steer, automated on the go harvest adjustment and capo light have added up in 40 years.
This brings back memories,I purchased my first combine a 1984 7720 the last of the yellow tops in 1985 that had only 50 hrs on it. I would go on to harvest 17 crops with that machine with minimal downtime. Great video as usual Jason!
The 7720 is one of my all time favorite combines. They were built to last.
Amazing how technology and the farming industry changed over 40 years.
Amazing that 40 yr old technologies can still get the jobs done so well, as this is the age of equipment I still use today for the most part.👍
It is impressive to see how things have changed.

Would love to see a similar video from the 1970's.
Much Respect and Support from the UK
Thank you for watching it’s always cool to have viewers from the UK. I will definitely put something out from the 70s.
Now you should do the IH version of this if you find someone running a 1480
I have a 1420, 1440 and 1460. The 1480 has proven to be elusive. That and a 915 are number one on my combine filming wish list.
@@bigtractorpower there was one by me up until a few years ago no idea what part of the country it ended up in
This video goes back to my childhood. Thank you for the content! Please do more of these 1970s and 1980s machines, if you can.

Would love to see some Steiger Tiger IV footage
Me too. I have filmed a Tiger I, Tiger II and Tiger III. I hope to find a Tiger IV to film.
I appreciate the new equipment but........the older is just so cool. Great drone and ground footage Jason 👍. GO BTP 💪
Thank you for watching the classics definitely have a cool factor.
John deere the famous 🚜🚜🚜🌾🙋🙋👍

They classics are built to run and run. Thank you for watching.
Wow when we retired from farming in ‘78, we were running that 7700 series combines, and enjoyed our Steiger 4wd. Tech has sure advanced since then.
The 7700 is a nice combine. What model Steiger did you run?
Hay Jason my dad use to run a 7720 turbo and 8820 titan2's back in 89' 90'

Seeing the 8820 or the 8850 in the field during the 80’s was like wow. Always surprised though, the speed tillage is done over there.
They better keep that equipment in good shape because eventually there is going to an EMP, and none of the new ones are going to work!
This video just made my day I remember when all of these models were new on the lot when I was helping my family on the farm in SW Kansas
That ripper needs some weights or slow down a skosh bud. Great videos though.
Yes for sure

Happy New Year. The 8820 is one of the all time greats.
They will soon have a list price of a million dollars!
With the heads the X9 is over 1 million.

Wow!
My bosses used to have a John Deere 8820 Titan II but they sold it for a John Deere 9660 STS Bullet Rotor combine.
The 8820 was a beast in its day but the 9660 STS will eat up the acres.
Great video. Those were great pieces of equipment. Really enjoyed them. Maybe you could do other brands from the 80's. Or other eras. It was very interesting. Merry Christmas to you and your Family!
Merry Christmas. I plan to do some more they this. I like to get all the brands covered.
Really like to see the 70's IH and Case 100+ hp tractors showcased. Especially the 12-1456,1026 ,10-14-1566's and 1170's thru 1570
I will see what I can do I am on the hunt to film a good 1570 out in the field. I definitely can put something together for IH.
The 80s is my favourite for John Deere brings back such good memories of a young kid on the family farm
😁👍👍. It does for me as well
these videos are what make your channel so special, i love to see the tractors and combines of yesterday please keep featuring the 70s and 80s, thanks again for the awesome videos!!!!
I enjoy seeing the new items to film but finding good classics is my favorite.
Combines & tractors have come a long way. Now days they pretty much drive themselves
Yes they do. The completely driverless days are probably not too far away.
Good video in 1980 I was 11 years old I got too see a lot of good tractor back then!!!🚜🚜🏎️
You sure did. It was a great time in farming. I was watching tractors as a kid in the 80’s and enjoying going to local dealers to see the brand new stuff like the 8850 and 8820.
The 70's would be a great video. Back then it was simple and had some good equipment from that era
It was an awesome time for big new machines. The 70’s is my favorite era.
I learned how to do tillage with a John Deere 714 chisel plow hooked to a 8330
Very nice.
I’m a Ford tractor man I love the Ford 5000 Ford 7000 and Ford 8700 and 9700.
Those are great tractors. I like Ford. My favorite is the 9000 with a cab and the FW60.
I was born in 1980 great video so many memories thanks Jason!!!🤘
I grew up in the late 70’s and the 80’s. It was an exciting time in farming.
Really nice to see old machinery still in action just like they were designed to do.
Why did the tractor operator raise the chisel plow for the middle section of the field? I can’t think of a reason why.
Greetings from the UK
Good question. If you look at the field the chisel makes two lines running East to west where the 8850 lifts to skip as it heads north to south. The purpose of this is to leave that area unworked as it is a water flow area. By leaving that area in stubble it helps reduce soil erosion over the winter.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks, that makes sense. You learn something new every day.
Another great video buddy
Cheers for sharing
Thank you for watching
Man, look at that red dirt. Is that Kentucky?
Yes Western Kentucky.
I think the older machines looked better than today's ones... great video.
Grew up with the sound guard tractors. Still love them to this day
These were two great fines this fall. To me a John Deere tractor will always be a Sound Gard.
Another great video from big tractor power . As a kid I always thought those titans were the best combine and the big 4wd tractor was really cool
I am right there with you. One of my favorite movies from the 1980s was American Harvest. In the middle of the movie three brand new 8820 Titan IIs roll in to join the harvest crew. It was so cool to see.
@@bigtractorpower I have this video on VHS. Got it for Christmas many years ago.
How about an IH 1468 in action?
That would be a great one I have a few clips of 1460 eights at plow days but I am still looking to find one to film out in the field for a good 10 minute feature. Hopefully one will turn up.
Muito bom esse trator john deere Brasil um abraço a todos

How ‘bout some 1990s?
Sure. I can do that. 8960 4wd and a 9600.
