That old Steiger sure sounded sweet when pulling away from the dump truck.

I still think these are some of the best looking combines. Much smaller but I love the looks.

Old school equipment still getting it done 👍

They seem to run like tops that 7720 is pretty quick

I had both a 6620 and a 7720 and 3 643 corn heads. The 7720 is still running on a neighbors farm. They also have a 643 that I bought new in 1977 that I ran on a 6600 at that time. I sold that high tin 643 in 1990 along with the 6620 to another farmer who ran it till this year when it came back close to home at my neighbor’s! Had a 9500 after the 7720 and now a S670 and 608C

Those 20 series were great looking machines.

Great to see older deeres still at work😉👍 nice video again👍👍

Always been a fan of the 20 series combines. We had both a 6620 and 7720 before going to 9500’s.

We had a 105 on our family farm then after many years my dad upgraded to the 7720. It was a great machine.

Geesh! That 7720 can run circles around that 6620. One can really see the hp and cleaning area differences. Most 6620's I've seen get a 4 row corn head but have seen them with 6 and 8 row too. 7720's are pretty popular here in upstate NY. Great video!

I love these titan combines. I’ve always wanted a 8820 Titan ll

These are my favorite series combines from back when they used to put hydrostatic transmissions in them

Jason, another great video. I really like the variety you have and how you provide the specifications and costs. You also expertly show the operation with drone shots. I am a commercial drone pilot and commend you on your effective use of a drone.

The 7700 was considered huge when it came out, now it is dwarfed by today's combines. I appreciate the technology in today's equipment, but really love the equipment from the 70's and 80's.

Really cool seeing this old school equipment working

Thanks Jason this is my favourite series of combines from John Deere

The American flag hanging off the unloading pipe of one of the combines is a nice touch at 2:40

Love those titan series combines if they had a 8820 out there also it would have been awesome

Learned how to run a combine on the 7720

Right there is what happens when regular maintenance is done, probably easier to work on and the profits are in the bank not at the dealership.

First big combine I drove was an 8820 in ND, can't remember how big of a head but supposdly the biggest you could get early/mid 90s. Coming from Norway driving a small Claas with a 10 fot head was a bit of a change.

its good to see the older equipment being used ,

first combine i ever ran after moving to this country was the 8820 T2 that came with the farm, traded it off about 20 yrs ago, but found out a friend is still using it, old beasts just run n run

I've always liked the 6600 and 7700 series JD combines. The steiger green (even though a bit faded) is an awesome color! Appreciate your ALL your videos Jason.

As always another great video from big tractor power love watching my favorite series of combines in action keep up the great work and always looking forward to the next one.

Cool seeing those older John deere combines working in the field. Love sound of that stagger, She sounded like a beast.

Proof right here you don't need to drop a million plus dollars on brand new machines and equipment to get the job done. They may not be the prettiest but looks are secondary when it's time to get the crop from the field to the bin!

It’s definitely a good thing the tractor pulling the dump cart has dual tires or that would have been embarrassing if the tractor tipped over as the cart is being dumped

That steiger sounds prime

A pusher for silage harvest in the mud.

They do here in west Tennessee they got to have 4 big as combines with 35 or 40 foot headers just to combine a 1 acre field dont make no sense they want to be big shots as they say

We used a dump cart like that some 40 years ago for one season and they suck. Too tall to unload into on the go and you couldn't put but about 200 bu in them or they would tip while unloading. They weren't designed for grain harvesting. I sure as hell wouldn't put 400bu of shelled corn in it and trust it.

Steiger!

Check out onelonleyfarmers channel he combines with a new Holland TR 96 its old but it paid for and does a excellent job.

Having seen some of your other videos, this farm seems less efficient. The previous farms emptied crops directly into trucks, moving alongside the combine in operation. This one stops machine, loads into a middle step trailer, then takes trailer to dump into truck. The equipment in the middle step is extra cost and time. Ground seems able to handle the truck without getting stuck. I don't see why they use the extra step.

@dwightl5863

As I see it I don't think the unloading auger on the combine will clear the extra extension that is on the grain cart. Also possible the dual wheels on the Steiger would keep the grain cart from getting close enough to the combine when on the go. IMHO

This is one of the biggest negative complaints around here about farmers .... people hear farmers complain about costs and profits even though they pay so little property tax, but they are seen doing this type of inefficient method and don't change it.
