No big payment, still getting the job done. Love it!
How freaking cool. Two 8820s in one field. Love these machines.
My Uncle owned a 7720 Turbo and I rode many laps up and down the field in that machine. We had a 6 row corn header with our. He harvested corn, beans, and wheat. I also enjoyed riding with him because I got to operate the swinging of the auger as well as pulling the handle up to unload the corn since they where located right by the door. I have also taken many naps while sitting on the floor and resting my head on the seat. I was sad to see that combine go but really enjoyed the upgrade to a 9500 which came with a buddy seat for me to sit on, so no more floor for me.
I would take a 8820 over all the modern day combines any day
Yeah because u can switch cylinders raspbar and spike tooth
You would be making a huge mistake
I used to think that owning a 6620, then we got a 9500...NO turning back after running that.
There are still a couple of 8820 Titan two's in our area. They were and still are a impressive combine . We use to run a 7720 and was it ever a good reliable machine.
We have a 9400 that we bought last year. Had a 6620 before that and a 6600 before that. Had the 6600 for almost 20 years. My grandpa taught me to combine on the 6600. Lost him to cancer 5 years ago, miss him alot.
Love seeing the older machines! No matter what brand or model. Things back then were built to last. 🙂 Thanks for the video!
I remember. Great machines when my Uncles and Dad were farming.
The Titan Series are good combines. Top sellers in the 80’s.
Titan I or II series have always been some of my favorite combines from JD. I like the look of them. A farm up the road from me still uses a 7720. Love watching them!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Love the 8820 titian II combine especially cuz looks they had 2 of them in the feild nothing like old iron still working
When I was young are neighbor had one parked in his shed for a friend of his. The 8820 seemed absolutely massive compared to what I was familiar with. Coupled to a 27’ grain head it was a beast. Great video.
They were very high capacity for their day. I was always impressed with them.
Yep, but now they're kind of small by modern standards 30+ years later, and 2.2 bushels/second is a very slow unloading rate
If you compare those to, today’s combines, then they would be very slow
If you check the PAMI reports, there capacity wasn't very hi in comparison to TR96 Gleaner N7 in fact not even close
The 7720 n 8820 were awesome machines
As a former Titian 2 owner, I love these old combines, they were great machines.
Love those JD XX20 combines. Thanks for sharing!
We had the last model year 7720 Titan 2 when I was a kid. It was a great machine.
It's odd to me seeing older combines like these using their straw choppers on corn. The old Gleaner combines we had when I cut my teeth learning how to operate harvesting equipment had choppers that could be slid forward past the straw walkers and disconnected to prevent wear on the components. Still awesome to see older machines out in the field getting the job done!
Great video. I use a 6620 yellow cab. Love these old machines. My father had a 45e when I was a kid.
I really enjoy the videos from John Deere old equipment specially titan combines thanks jason
The titan II is a great combine😉👍 good to see two out in the field👍👍
Do you know the difference between a turbo and a titan 2?
Two nice machines!! Only 8820 I knew of in our area was a spike tooth cylinder machine a farm still runs some today.
You're doing such a great job at showing everyone the way you see the world! Thank you for this!
I have a 1973 6600 that I use on my farm. I have 60 acres of corn & beans , this old machine still does a good job .
Love the latest video from big tractor power. Always enjoy seeing my favorite series of John deere combines in action keep up the great work. And happy holidays
Great footage and your videos are always informative. I run a 1994 John Deere 9600 with a 6 row corn header in Northwest Ohio
Was only around a few of these. One neighbor had one, his cousin , had a 7720. Both machines were considered the big rigs in the county. Both required a lot of maintenance yearly, but they did cover a lot of acres annually. There's still a 6620 next farm over. The family bought it new, on a smaller acreage. A big farmer I worked for back in the mid 90s, had a late 8820 and a 9600 while I worked for them. That 8820 was traded for a 9610 the last year I put up with the jerk that ran the place. I would have loved to get it from the dealer, but they wanted way too much. I guess they had too much in it to make the original trade. All those walker type machines had serious issues with breakage in there, and bent cranks. The reason I went to a Axial Flow for my operation.
If John Deere were to make the titán series and current machines again, I would definitely Buy a titán...free of all those thousands of cables, sensors and computers that only make them More complex AND in the end do the dame job... A by the way, the sound of the 8820's engine is like music to my ears👍👍
That is the only combine I have ever had a chance to ride in. It was HRWA and had duals. That same farm had a 4960 as well, which I also got to ride in which was only a year or maybe two old at that time and considered a really big row crop tractor. Times have sure changed
Very nice. The 8829 is a cool combine.
still the best combine yet.
The 8820 is one of my favorites.
I always enjoy your video's ............ very informative .......... thank you for your hard work .
I'm in Western KY too and we use to have 2 8820 Titan 2 combines. We sold one when my granddad passed about 15 years ago and I think it's still in Western KY. Possibly one of these? We still have the other 8820 Titan 2 with the 843 corn head like in this video.
Dug a 7720 out of pasture,spent 2 weeks replacing belts,repairing rust rot,new hydrostatic cooler and hoses, 20 ft header, and pulled harvest off this year
👋 hey 👋 from Dexter,Missouri
Super awesome video 😎 👍👍
Definitely my favourite series of combine from John Deere
Mine as well. The Titan combines are cool to see and built to last.
Awesome find and video! Love the titans! I’m sure you can remember Halpin’s showcasing an 8820 at Monroe County Fair back in the early 80’s? I remember climbing up those side steps at 5 y/o thinking it was a space shuttle.
Halpins was such a cool dealership. I have some pictures of Halpins demoing an 8820 Turbo during corn harvest that they shared with me.
@@bigtractorpower yes they were! I’m good friends with one of the sons; I’ll ask him why he hasn’t shared those pics with me! 😂. He just showed me a neat aerial photo of the dealership from the 1970’s. My best memories as a kid we’re going to that dealership and going to the showroom looking at the toys.
Good video. 👍👍👍
That's a classic combie.
First combine I ran after emigrating to Canada was an 86 8820 T2. I believe best machine for value, hours out of investment
Nice video. In the early '80's I worked for a neighbor running a 7720 while he ran his 8820. Back in those days, no grain carts so we dumped in his trucks. Our neighbor was pretty "big time" having two machines. (We only ran one Massy 860...haha). Good memories.
A 7720 and 8820 were big time. Very cool. An 860 Massey was big time too.
Last year we farmed 1998, daddy had one of those..paid 20k for it used...got the job done for years, cheap to maintain too
Love John Deere ❤️
😁👍👍
Awesome monster combines still making money.
😁👍👍👍
The first time my dad and I saw a 12 row corn head was on an 8820. Harvesting at the farm progress show in Nevada Iowa in early 80's. Great memory from the past. Great combine in its day
Still is!
The 20 series are a good combine I had a 6620 side hill that was a fun machine
Nice video
Thank you for watching. The 8820 is a cool combine.
Like your drone videos.
Thank you. My friend Matt filmed the drone views in this video.
That's so really cool 😎 and great to see u...📽️🚜⛽ very 🙈 awesome farm life style 💪🎉✔️
Good video.
Thank you for watching.
Our neighbor bought an 8820 in 1980 with a 12 row head... it was mammoth back then!
That is awesome. I would like to find an 8820 running a 12 row.
@@bigtractorpower they ran that combine over 20 years. The local news paper came out and took a picture of it because it was so large for its day- it was front page news. That'd definitely be a rarity if you could find one still being used today. You do a great job with your videos Jason, I always enjoy the notification for a new one coming out!
Had a 8820 turbo ran a 925 flex never new it was on it Was a real beast lost it to a combine fire 🔥 in 1999
Really like watching old Iron getting jobs done
👍👍
We have a 6620 deere with a 6 row that does an awesome job we run it sometimes along with my uncles 6600 and a massey 510 that I have
Had a 7720 that was traded for 8820. I think the 7720 was a better machine. A few mods and turn of a 10 mm screw I could make it run good. Had a 8 row bean head on and it could fly.
Now now Jerry..Is it story time!
Tuve una 8820 con cabezal de 24 pies buenísima las máquinas
Hi BTP, wondering what modern day john deere combine would be equivalent to a 8820 titan2..would it be an S760 or smaller?
👍😁
As I remember the titan ii was the first one to get a reversing feeder house so when you went too fast or got into too many weeds you could back out a plug.
I run a titan11 for my neighbor we run a massey 850 with a 6row corn head I like the deere better it handle better was a good combine
We run a s680 2015 model harvesting corn and milo in north Mexico
Does anyone know why they put the motor up front like that? I always thought that was an odd setup.
It made a lower center of gravity, not really an issue on the 8820's but it did on the 6600's and smaller. They wanted to maintain the same configuration through the whole family so they did it on the larger ones also. Here on the hills of central Pa, the Massey Ferguson's with the front engine, or earlier, having the engine mounted down behind the front axle, ruled the field until JD moved the engine up beside the cab. Once JD brought out the sidehill's, Massey's days were over around here.
the farm I grew up with had a 66&7720 built for rice
I run a JD 7700 turbo, 6600 and 4400 combining small grass seed and occasionally corn
Very cool. Nice line up.
We had a 8820 with a yellow roof
4400, 6600 and 7700 turbo harvesting small grain, Plains, Louisiana
Wow what a line. The 7700 especially is such a cool combine.
Shows that if you take good care of your equipment, not run the snot out of it, it will take care of you.
I appreciate all the digging you do to find the stats and prices of these machines. Makes your videos educational and informative!
I'm the first yaaaa
What kind of drone do you have
I ran one for several years. Had to give up on it with over 5000 hrs. The reason was bottom of grain tank kept cracking out, was afraid it would be sitting on top of straw walkers.
We have a 7720 turbo and run wheat corn and soybeans. This is our last year sadly
What class would this combine be considered?
6 but combine ratings are stupid, the machines aren't rated by capacity they are rated on grain tank size and hp
They outta be rated by how good they are..
@@davehughesfarm7983 they ought to be rated by capacity of the threshing and cleaning
👍👏🙋♂️🌈💚🌞
Would they want to buy another one?
Very very nice jason but you have not a video of the bidirectional tractor of versatile the very best tractor for the farm
Stay tuned. I have the TV140 filmed with a loader and a pair of hay mowers.
I got a 6620 and a7720 both are good machines

Very cool set up for an 8820. Thank you for sharing.
Twenty-seven K seems expensive just for a header back in the 80s.
I have a price guide from that time and that is what it lists the 843 at.
@@bigtractorpower I wasn't disputing you. I just think that is rather expensive for back then. JD is just getting greedier and greedier. Now they won't even allow you to repair your own equipment. Thank God States are bringing in legislation to combat that.
@@dr.michaelr.foreman2170 no worries I just wanted to share my source. I just posted a video on a 105 combine which was $12,000. I was surprised the corn head for it was almost $4,000 in 1969.
@@bigtractorpower 4k is a heck of a lot less than 27k. :)
Seems the corn Harvest is low
It was a drought year. No rain for 8 weeks.
@@bigtractorpower okay thanks for the info 👍
Pretty sad corn!
Late in the year and stalk deterioration has occurred down south. And the drought didn't help
It was a drought year. No rain for 8 weeks. This corn was harvested late in the season.
Back in the day I thought these were impressive machines but now we have combines that can practically drive themselves
The 8820 was big time farming in the 1980s. They are still cool combines today.
@@bigtractorpower... Yup I thought those were impressive machines back in the eighty's too
yep 7720 pretty ragged but still gets the job done
