Love this video. I do wish there was more cameras back in the past to capture the real skills in traditional farming. Stay safe 🏴 thanks for the upload .
Thanks for this video this takes me back. I started work as an apprentice agricultural engineer in 1964 at an MF dealer we did a load of work on these combines, worked there for 14 years. Had the engine out many times.
I always remember the the crispy throaty sound from that exhaust it could be heard a long way off when the harvester was going in the away direction, not able to hear it from the front. Their is no other sound like it.
It was in the 1950's I would spend all day in the harvest field where the 780 harvester was working and trying to catch rabbits as they ran out of the corn, I did catch many.
I was like that little kid who got to ride along and sat on the tool box , one time moving on the road got caught in a rain and grandpa said to crawl in the hopper to get out of the rain . Watched those open bull chains go round and round .
I cant understand why so many combine drives cut the fields from one side . I myself would always cut a field in banks and always with the auger outside.
there were no 3 numbers in the states it was an 80 or 90 later had the special series same numbers spent many hours on an old 90 special had one with a wappin big 16ft header believe ther were also 70 models but not sure. worked for a custom cutter with three pf the 90 special
@@paulberg9906 We got a Super 26 down under and we never drove anti clockwise unless the hills made you, and can not remember standing up working it he is a bit different in that respect.
what kind of a video is that no chaff down the back and at your back for 1 miles rounds no air condition no power steering.....yes I ran on of them over several thousands of acres

I remember the days when the land was covered in red and yellow - great piece of kit!

I remember the sweet sound to ,the engine was a six cylinder Austin tvo straight exhaust.
This one has had a Diesel engine put in ,not the same sound.
@@reginaldbaker9120 Thanks, I now know why this one has not got that sweet sound.
I was that kid back in the day helped my grandfather every day after school

My Dad had a MH 27. It looks identical to this one except it picked windrows.
Nice

And that is how you separate the wheat from the chaff.

Is that a MH 26
Why is he cutting anti clockwise ?
I thought the same thing he cannot see the edge so easy, could leave some corn uncut.
I guess that's why he stands alot. I don't think that there was any unloading on the go back in the day!
I think the reel speed is to fast but I don't honestly know if there's adjustments?
He's down under

Cutting wrong way n he hasn't cut before
Hay man. What are you doing. You are going the wrong way. Unloading auger is to be on outside when harvesting.
