Great video! I bought this same machine used in 1980 from a dealer in Rockfalls IL. It was so good. I got a lot of crap from all the JD, and IH guys, but I just did my own thing. One old farmer I knew stopped by when I was doing beans, and said, that is the cleanest sample I have ever seen! I said you are welcome!! PS, he had a 6620 JD.

Still some of the coolest looking combines out there, much better style than modern.

The TRs were cool combines. I want to find a TR95 to film next.

One thing blows my mind, completely, when i see these kind of machinery. The age... If i consider the new equipment, i doubt that any of them, will be running in 50+ years out into the feauture. But a lot of the machines built back in the 60's - 70's and 80's are still running to this day.

Bought one in 1976 with my brother. Actually was invited back to Grand Island to see the process of manufacturing. Had a twenty foot grain header and a pick up header as well. We raised wheat, barley and oats. Over the years did a lot of custom harvesting. Many great memories raising my family while cutting barley day and night! Enjoyed seeing the TR70 in action again! Thanks!

Wow super clean sample for a 1970s combine

I worked on these as a very young man in the 70s. They had a lot of capacity for the time, and they were easy to adjust. Grain quality was superb. Caterpillar engine was strong and reliable. The headers were.....let’s say crude, but, they would go all day. The header height control for the grain head was a lever that pivoted between two 3/8 bolts to close a ground circuit. When it went up or down, lights would dim. Hey, it worked.

many TR70's had Deere cornheads with an adapter. worked very well.

thats a pretty clean sample i dont know if the new machines do any better great video!

Had some neighbors that ran 3 TR 70's in the late 70's all the way through to about 2003 or 2004 when the dad retired.

Well as long as he gets to the field in that newer truck , Those older pieces of equipment will surely run !Always good to see older equipment running and working !

I bought corn ran through all 5 brands of combines. My favorite was from a New Holland. Just nice,clean shell corn!

My grandpa had one of them. I rode in that many hours there. I remember distracting that one with a rock.

The TR70 has a cool cab. All windows with the safety bar around the front window. Good memories.

It would be so awesome to be able to harvest with an older combine like this NH. I like the new equipment but the older has a special place. Thanks Jason 👍🏻

Nice seeing one in the field again. I ran one for many years and just a couple years ago I upgraded to a tr 86 6 row head. I enjoy both machines but the tr 86 is a nice upgrade in speed and performance. We use the tr86 for corn and soybeans.

I grew up watching the farmer near me use this combine for corn and beans across the street, for years i couldnt remember the model and this just took me straight back to being a kid! Thanks for sharing this jason and am now also following jacob on here!

10/10 on that sample...and back in the day you never wanted to arm wrestle these operators...turning that wheel all day your forearms would double up by the end of harvest.

Bought my first combine this year, TR99. Definitely happy with it.

That's a cool combine😉👍 thanks for sharing👍👍

Memories of neighbors using this machine. We were still using JD 7700 Turbo and later, IH 1480 in the 70's.

Australian farmer here.I drove one of these for a neighbour in the 80's,no complaints.We ran a MF 850 on our place and the TR,though same size,was a much faster,as in big eater,machine than our Massey.They were much heavier on fuel with the 3208 Cat with a duration of 9-10 hours a tank,compared to the MFs 354 perkins, 12-13 hours on a smaller tank.The TR 70 was a fine machine.I thought of getting one myself but bought a Inter 1480 in the late 90's.

It’s nice to be able to make a comment first hand experience. Yes we ran a TR 70 with a 3208 cat motor. It was a big machine for its time. Three weeks Into it’s first season we picked up a large chunk of a granite type rock. We had downed corn and no crop insurance. As much as possible the corn has to be harvested. The rock trap had failed to function and the rock was digested causing major frame damage that the rotors were so far off their mounts. The combine went to the selling dealer who advised us there would be no warranty even though he confirmed the Rock trap door was defective. We had to get an attorney and finally settled (cost of the machine , plus loss of the use of the machine during harvest ) out of court 14 months later. NH took the combine back and cut it up into pieces we were told. We went back to IH because at the peak of the accident we had no combine. The IH dealer helped us with a demo Axial Flow that we later purchased. Thanks for all your wonderful videos.

Still gets the job done and has doubtless paid for itself several times over, unlike todays combines, which cost in excess of a Million dollars with a header - just an insane amount of money for a machine that is continually depreciating in value.

New Holland did bring the first rotary combine to market in 1975. The TR was a strong seller in the corn belt. The first 10 units were sold near where I live in Kentucky to a soybean seed farm replacing a fleet of John Deere 7700 combines.

Pretty cool. Looks like he has a neat channel himself.

The rotary thrashing system eliminated the need for side-hill combines because it worked even if the combine was not level from side to side.

Grandpa had a tr70 with the 3208 and 6 row corn head.

IH dropped the twin rotor concept to stick with the axial flow and the engineer that was on the IH twin rotor took the idea with them to New Holland. The 1st versions of IH concept of twin rotor was based on the IH 234 Sheller Unit Rotor

Boehn farms on youtube had a couple of them. Both of his were gear drive and one had a v8 gas motor.

The 5 row corn heads were used in seed corn harvesting. The male row is knocked out during the growing season. If you plant 12 rows of seed corn you harvest 10 rows and that is where the 5 row corn head came in handy. I would say CAT was more popular. I have come across more TR70’s with the 3208. The combine in this video has the CAT engine.

The TR70 is the first rotary combine. The model in this video of course is not serial number one nor do I want to portray it as number. This video is intended to give the history of the TR70 combine and its significance in threshing. I did film the serial number one International 1460 Axial-Flow a few years ago harvesting soybeans. That video is titled Serial Number One IH 1460. The 1460 the IH’s first rotary combine in 1977.

Several of my neighbors ran these growing up. Great machine for harvesting, but they all had a bad habit of catching fire!

@terenceblanchette9059

You had to keep the engine compartment clean, especially with the Cat engine. Because of the V8 configuration the turbo was on the back side close to the sheet metal. Chaff would build up around the turbo and catch fire. I owned TR 70's and never had an issue. It happens to JD combines quite often too. Again safety and maintenance.

I was wondering who first made the rotor combine, I think it was 77 or 78 when gleaner made the first transverse rotor.

I do NOT think this was the first New Holland Twin Rotor combine, IIRC, their first TR Series were RED, with Yellow trim, and came out in the late 1960's. I am thinking that the Model number of the first was something like TR-65, and the ads first appeared in magazines like Farm Journal and Successful Farming. The New Holland dealer at Springfield, NE had one of these red and yellow combines that set on his lot for several years unsold, and at one point, my uncle went to look at it, but the dealer would not come down off the original price, so it stayed there.
