- Come along for a 92 year old ride aboard a 1928 Holt Model 36 pull type combine. This unit belongs to my good friend Lyle Garratt, and hes been running it almost every year since 1992 for people to come out and enjoy. Its a pretty neat piece of agriculture history. Things have sure come along way in less than 100 years. Really puts things into perspective to what we use now days to get the crops off. Anyway I hope that you enjoy this bit of history as much as I do.
Lyle Garratt owns Garratt Industries Ltd based out of Milestone Saskatchewan. Lye crafted the first Gravity Table in 1986 to overcome shortcomings in equipment he had purchased for his seed cleaning plant, the Garratt family has been manufacturing seed processing equipment. Equipment is not produced on an assembly line. Each unit is manufactured on demand, and you can be assured that either Lyle or K.C.(Lyle's son) has been involved in designing and building your piece of equipment.

Brings back memories of one of my first jobs as a youngster on our Kansas grain and cattle operation back in the fifties which was running the "ships wheel" to raise and lower the header. Our deere combine didn't have the unloading auger technology, however, as it was gravity only. Dad pulled the 16' machine with either the D2 or RD6 CAT depending on field conditions. I recall the D2 getting stuck going thru a wet draw where it had to be unhooked and then pulled with a chain to get out of the mud.
Thanks for watching - glad we were able to give you a visit to the past!!
About 1964 my father and his brothers somehow got ahold of an old combine similar to this one, but it had rubber tires and I think a Continental engine. They only used it one year and left it parked after that. One thing I recall is that at the end of the day they were covered with dust and chaff. It also had the canvas belts to feed into the threshing part of the machine. The machine was scrapped out years ago, but was quite a contraption to watch in operation.
Superb - and now Draper headers which use conveyor belts like this are the new thing to buy!
Everything comes full circle what was old is new again
Fantastic video and pieces of machinery. Even this machinery made life easier in those days. Soon the modern day farmer will be doing nothing and have some types of robots doing it for them.
Hi there thanks for watching - you are absolutely correct. As a matter of fact there is a autonomous seeder that’s being tested here in Saskatchewan.
Love this. Im 70, and can remember my uncles using a model K Case combine, which was similar to this as a small boy of maybe 5 yrs old. 20 acres was a big day.
Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed
Cool. that's KC on the tractor and Lyle on the Holt.......neat for sure!!!
Very cool!! I just wish you guys had a 1929 truck to unload the harvest into.
Dad had a Harris with a 20 foot header it started out steel wheels ,. but he put rubber wheels on it. I still have one of the header counter weights. We now run a 45 foot header.
Great video I don't know much about wheat farming as I was employed on potato farms until I was 19. I enjoy watching old machinery and trying to put myself back into that time frame
My grandfather had a model a year or two older. it had been disassembled to use the main frame for an irrigation propane tank carrier. Thanks so much for allowing me to "ride along" a working Holt. I played in and on the parts as a kid so the machinery was familiar to me. I appreciate the old machinery and love the new technology used to share it. My dad's spirit is crying with the memory as he rode on the machine as a kid. Thanks again.
For 1928 impressive
Retreating American history, well done 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for keeping the Holt name alive!
Felicitaciones nos muestran como cambió la tecnología en el campo en 100 años
in Germany 1936 the first Claas MDB ,powered by Lanz-Bulldog came to market.
i rode on one of these about 60 years ago. Lots of fun for me at the time.
Due love watching the old equipment.
Greetings from Southwest Michigan. Have a Safe and Awesome day.
Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.
Bless you all for looking after this beautiful equipment and sharing this video!!
Thanks for checking it out
I can remember my father riding on a John Deere combine that had a platform to instead of a hopper and he would fill grain bag's with oats ,then tie the bag's and put them in a shoot that he would trip at the headland and they would all be in the headland, so they weren't scattered all over the oat field.
Thanks for sharing and watching - this too could of had the grain bag option vs a hopper.
Excellent. There needs to be more of this sort of event. The only things missing are period appropriate clothing and vehicles.
Thanks for watching - it really is amazing to watch the old gal work - almost 100 years old and still doing what it was built for.
I’m not a farmer but love history and tractors 😆. So interesting to see how things evolved thru time. Good vid.
I understand the yield difference I just love old equipment and antiques
Absolutely amazing to see this machinery in service.
Especially when he went for full width of the cutter head.
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Rex Alonzo instablaster ;)
@Madden Marcos I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Madden Marcos it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Rex Alonzo Glad I could help =)
Great to see the Holt working in detail!
Back in the early 50's I sacked wheat in towsacks on a pull behind. The wheat split in two headers you flipped the lever over for the other chute when the bag got full. You then pulled up an ear and half hitched it twice and then with a huge needle you quick tied across the bag and pulled up the other ear and half hitched the bag closed and threw it off into the back of a pickup which soon got more full so quick you wouldn't believe it.
Sounds like an old Allis Chalmers All-Crop machine.
Good to see the old stuff still doing a job
I remember near our farm in Eastern Washington back in the 1990's there was an old John Deere tag along combine sitting in a barn about 3 miles from us. Not sure what year it was but I figure it dated back to pre WW2. It had rubber tires but I distinctly remember it was a model 36B. Looks like JD might have continued the Holt model designation after the buy out. Wish I could've had the chance to restore it. It had the old levelling system on it installed by RJ Hansen Co. - a necessary component in the Palouse region. Loving these old antiques!
JD kept the original design for many years after they bought the product from Holt/Caterpillar yes
used to have to bag the grain with them machines and set them aside like bundles. i had a neighbor who had one of them when i was a wee boy early 50s
Thanks for sharing those neat machines.
I remember seeing horse drawn machines when I was a kid. In Kansas we have an Agricultural Museum and you could see old farm equipment working clear back to horse drawn including plows.
Thanks for watching
Excellent video Nathan. I never was able to see in person Alan Smith's 36 working. Keep thee videos coming Thanks
Chuck Czaplweski thanks Chuck
Thanks for the info my farm equipment is green and yellow I didn't know they were all yellow thanks caterpillar. Great video loved it I didn't get to go to any gas engine shows this year because of covid-19 you kind of helped fill the void thanks a bunch stay safe
WOW! I haven't seen one of these for a long time! I drove wheat truck in the middle 50's. Almost ran into the Cat a few time's, loading on the fly! As I recall, the combine had a 36 foot draper, and was powered by a hercules, that we had to start on either. Once you got it started, it ran really good.
The hopper was small, and only held 60 bushels of grain! Mo-boards were added, which really helped; I had to really hot -foot it to the grain elevator to unload. I started out with a Chrysler powered 34 dodge, that could haul 120 bushel's of grain. We upgraded to a new international with a 2-speed. I ground a few gears getting used to it, but that was a nice truck.
Happy New Year!
Gary
Thanks for stopping by glad you enjoyed
Great video, thanks for sharing.
When I was at school some 40 years ago one of the local farmers used to harvest one of his grain fields the traditional way.
Some was cut with scythes, some with a finger mower, some of that was by horse drawn mower / harvesters seem to recall it had the ability to bundle and tie the sheaves? Some of the time he towed the harvester behind an old grey Ferguson tractor, the sheaves were stacked in stooks, and then the stooks were loaded onto the traditional cart with the angled head and tail boards and brought to a ‘mobile’ thresher hauled and powered by a steam traction engine. Being a young inquisitive person with a leaning towards engineering I was fascinated with the whole process and as I was stood watching one of the team called me over, explained the process and asked if I’d like to help, well that was the bees knees and I got to help with all of the process apart from standing on the thresher and feeding the wheat as it was considered to dangerous for me!
I went back every day that I could until they were done, I remember that with great fondness and feel incredibly privileged to have been able to not only witness this but to have helped with it.
I can’t imagine that happening today, too much risk of backlash for so many reasons these days. 😢
we have one in the bush.(Holt combine)So nice to see one running
best part, that thing cleans grain better then a modern day combine lol.
Not so much the combine but the guy setting it!
Not really it looks about the same
Farming has evolved! Like watching a original workhorse in action👍👍!

Amazing ! 🌾🌾🌾 greetings from Finland
Great restoration! Thanks for the video.
This is awesome to see! Only took three months to pop up in my recommended for you vids. Thanks!
That is so freaking awesome!
That was very interesting to watch while drinking my morning coffee.
Awesome stuff great to see that and happy new year 🥂👍
Isn’t it amazing, that old machine, but the new ones function pretty much the same as far as how they actually worked. New ones work on the same principal, just a nicer cab!
And go much, much faster. In addition, they have safety guards on them.
Great video! Very interesting and good machine 👍
Pretty sure most the kids watching this have heard worse from their family. ;) love the video!!
nice to see child on crawler tractor looking and learning how grandpy done it
😳🤣👌👍👍👍Oldie und funktioniert!💪👍👍👍
Awesome machine
Nathan!!! I finally got to your channel, made Becky share the video to me😁
As she was watching it, we (Becky, my brother from another mother Ed, and I ) were talking about a couple of old combines in the corner of a friend's field..
They just might be Holt's.
The ol boys father in law bought them new, had a pair of cross Engine Cases to pull them. They were the first combines in the county. Used up until they replaced them with JD 7700s.
Ol Don used to bitch about his father in law, he wouldn't park the old combines outside, so the new ones got parked outside under a tarp until the father in law passed..
The old man wanted to know the old combines in good condition because he just wasn't sure the new self propelleds we're going to work..
Thanks for sharing that was cool!!👍
Thanks for checking it out Shane! Glad you enjoyed.
Couple of rains tied to the steering levers on the cat, would make a nice one person outfit.. just be a bit sketchy getting from the tractor to the combine..
Thanks for the video Nathan!!!
That would be interesting Ed- I’m sure guys tried it back in the day
Exposed just enough of the cab corner/roof to identify the good looking early 60s Ford Truck. I'm a big fan of them along with most types of older machinery. Thanks.
Amazing oldschool machine 👍🇨🇿😉
Great video 👍
Watch a journey through time. Great!
That was my grandfather's first combine
Great video!.
these Machines maked US great💪
It has the old style name on the front, like I called them Caterpiggles when I was little. Yay! 😀😃🙂🙃😊
Very nice!
Lol, at least you didn't have to call Cat Service to come out at $150/hr because the ECM took a dump.
That thing looks cool as hell
Thanks man - it is pretty awesome
Nathan Duncan alway wish I could go back in time to when these tweeted Kong’s of the fields
That's impressive
We cut with a 1929 Holt Model 34 once in awhile. If fact, we had a Paul Harvey mention in 1981. My great granddad used to custom cut with Holts. For some reason, he dismantled a complete 1929 Holt 36 many many years ago, and it's stacked at our farm. It even has the very rare pickup header attachment. If you guys are interested, we'd love to give it to you guys. The story as I remember it, this 36 was worn out and disassembled for parts. We have never used any of the parts for our model 34. This combine is located in Nebraska. Let me know if you guys are interested.
That’s awesome thanks for checking this one up
How can we chat more about the pickup header do you have an email?
Pretty awesome thx
great stuff
A lot more practical than the corn pickers of the day...
When things are made to last, they do.
I bet that thing lost half the grain that went into it. Between the old style draper with the holes, to all of the grain blowing out the back. Even unloading you could see the grain pouring off the side of the truck. I still bet that thing was the cats meow compared to cutting by hand back in the day. Very cool piece of history. Thanks for sharing.
Think of it as not having to plant as much seed for the next crop. :-)
Actually, if set up properly, these were very efficient. The farmer I worked for in the sixties had a McCormick #51 that I pulled and he would walk along with it getting hatfuls of material from the shakers and would rework the setup if necessary
Wasting grain was unacceptable in that day an age,today's new machine put enough grain back on the ground to support a farmer back then
That is so neat to watch and think that things really haven't changed that much over the years . Thank you for sharing this video
The more things change...the more they stay the same.
This is how things should be done it would keep people employed and it would be fun!
Yeh if you want to pay 10 bucks for a loaf a bread.
@@zeusmacafee5097 yeah but whoever complains about buying a loaf of bread? Maybe they should be $10 the farmer won't make the profit. Bread is not that precious. Unfortunately...😞
@@zeusmacafee5097 I grow hrsw and it doesn't get the respect that it deserves. Especially thanks to those non-carb diets which I think is BS
@@altestic9436 well that’s what I’m saying wheat isn’t worth anything as it is and you want to use these machines and hire more people? You could never do that you Wouldn’t make any money
Less fun in the dust & noise after 2-3 weeks of it!
НЕХЕРА себе ЭКСКЛЮЗИВ АППАРАТ 👈🏽ЕЩЁ И ПРИЦЕПНОЙ КОМБАЙН 👍👍👍🔥ЭТО ГДЕ ТАКОЙ ЕЩЁ ЕСТЬ ??? ПОСМОТРЕТЬБЫ В ЖИВУЮ .👍👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pretty neat
Looks like a good grade and low dockage
No weeds, nice clean field.
The "no weeds" in a wheat field was unusual back in those days. No herbicides.
We have a Caterpillar 36 at the Legacy of the Plains Museum in Gering Nebraska. Does this Holt 36 have a Wisconsin water cooled engine? There's a Holt 36 in our area and it has a water cooled Wisconsin. I have seen a John Deere 36, same machine but with rubber tires and of course it's green!
Hi there - yes is has the Wisconsin water cooled engine. I always like reminding all my John Deere combine friends that Caterpillar sold them the combine haha! Thanks for watching good luck with your museums #36
There’s an old Holt just like this in the tree row on some land we bought.
You should restore it.
@@Xander_Zimmermann Yeah, I should,, but sadly, I have way too many projects already plus trying to run a farm. I've been talking to a guy who might be interested, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.
Nice
Nice👍
По тем временам он обладал огромнейшей производительностью, его копию производили в СССР.
The first guy trying it was left handed and turned it the wrong way. No wonder it wouldn't start. LOL
She was just being ignorant
It took 80 years for us to figure out how smart them men were back then with the draper head. Matter of time diesel engines will be replaced with wide bore deep stroke gas too. What's wrong with the torque and efficiency of a Farmal M?
Of course the draper headers now are moister proof as opposed to the old canvas that would soak up any dew and shrink
Quick paint job on Cat
I see they had the draper head thing figured out back then, funny how at some point they went away from them, and now they are back...idk.
Seams like everything comes back around after so long but then they think it's something new but really it's been out for a long time !
He worked a long time on that thing to get it running
a little grease and wire here and there and these old machines will keep running. no one with a white coat and computer needs to tune them up every time around the field. makes me wonder of any of the people who rode this machine 50 plus yrs ago could be looking down..
Ale maszyna super
It has gone way farther than any new piece of equipment. Oh crap lost GPS signal got to stop. Oh man this thing wont even start need to get the lap top out.
How did they open up a field (back then) with this “side header”? Amazing to see how much this still is the basic look of a modern combine.
Same way they do now. I often ran a pulltype swather. First round is made with the tractor on the inside. Then a few passes down the middle to split the field into sections. Yes, some would be wasted to trample, but we let the cows into the fields after, they loved to clean it up.
gotta remember alot of fields were not as big as they are now. so im assuming some farmers back then. probably skipped a row or two when planting. but also like the comment above mine. they probably ran some over first pass like cutting hay with a disc bine.
And to think that’s how it was done years ago and before that it was horses pulling everything wow things have changed so much
When horses were in the field it was shocked and thrashed at a stationary threshing machine
@@gregkoenig9200 huge teams originally pulled this type of combine, ground driven
@@highwatercircutrider I didn't know that because in the east my grandfather went from thrashing machine to a tractor drawn pulltype
@@gregkoenig9200 my father bought a pull type John Deere right after he got out of the Army at the end of WWII, he had to borrow my uncles John Deere A to run it.
The John Deere 36 was made until 1951 was basicly the same combine.
Just curious: Did modern equipment produce 60 bpa, and a combine from 92 years also produce 60 bpa?
Yes modern equipment produced the crop, and no this combine would have never seen yields like this in its day, but it still processes it like a champ, she was built to handle more then the times could throw at her. Thanks for watching
Great video! Did I see a 32 in the background?
All 1928 vintage except the crop. 2020 crop density is 5+ times as dense. Thus the need for 1/2 header width cutting. As to being same as modern combines, 1928 cars had engine, 4 wheels, and steering? But they're not the same as modern cars. Neither is the old combines the same.
Does it overload the shakers if you take too big a bite? I see you are taking half width passes. Used to love going to the Threshermens Reunions in Illinois and Iowa in the 60's. Steam, Crawlers, Rumleys. Lots of cool equipment.
By the end we were taking a full cut - didn’t want to plug it up - it never seen yields that good in its day
@@ironman3406 Have to shine up the metal or a plugup happens---
@@verngoossen3628 it never plugged they know what there doin
Draper belt. What was old is new.
It’s like kickstarting a motorcycle, when people are watching is the one time it doesn’t want to start.
This helps make up for no thrashing shows this year.
It helped a little but man, but still wasn’t the same. Missed seeing all the people I know at shows!
@@ironman3406 I agree I'm a vendor I sell kettle corn popcorn I do the gas engine shows in Ohio I sure did miss it this year I love the old steam engines and the Old Farm Equipment. I do a gas engine show in Greenville Ohio and they do a beautiful glow off at night with her steam engines. They have a field there that they plant in wheat so they show people how it works and then they plow the ground to really cool
@@unknownuser2737 that’s awesome
Bit of a tangent, but it would be really cool if you could get this set-up in Farm Simulator . . .
I agree but have no idea how to do that lol I’m no computer programmer wizard - thanks for watching
Great video, bit it looks like the reel is turning abit fast.
As far as I know there is no speed adjustment for the reel like modern combines - the only thing you can really adjust is the table height, other than that the only other control you’ve got is the clutch to engage and disengage the whole unit from the engine. Planning to do another video this fall if it running. Thanks for watching
12:02 Why did you change the crawler tractor?
Wanted to exercise them both
