@@rogermiller7411 no I sold my last one which was a MF 550. I have a cousin with a big Case IH and a neighbor who cut a piece of wheat last week with a big 9660 John Deere. I'm doing mostly hay now days and I work on the railroad now and farm on the side. I enjoy watching the videos. I'll never not enjoy farming.
Good video! Looks like it is running good for you. I have a JD 55 I hope to cut wheat with next week if it is ready, praying for no breakdowns. Blessings
Dad had a '68 45 much like yours from '74 to '97 when he retired. Never did straight cut on small grains but always used a swather and belt pickup of the windrows. I have some video on my channel of soybean harvest with it in '96.
This is a step up for me. Before I was using a pull type JD 42. You can see it run on my Utube channel. I sold it to an Amish farmer who adapted it to horse drawn use. You can see it in action on my channel as well. Thanks for watching.
Finished. Wheat did about 70 bushels per acre, a lot for such an old combine. The attendant at the grain elevator said my wheat was cleaner than any he’s seen. Not bad for a crop planted with a drill that’s 87 years old and harvested with a combine that’s 57 years old. I’m going to try to bale the straw with a 1953 Case 130 baler and a 1957 Case 400 tractor.
Wheat looks like it's doing well!
Made about 70 bushels per acre.
@@rogermiller7411 great!
Nice looking and running 45. Had one like that back years ago. It was my first combine I bought it when I was in my early 20's.
Do you have a combine now?

Thanks for that wonderful video! I could watch it for hours… A great JD combine and a breathtaking surrounding!
Best regards 🇺🇸🚜🥰

Thanks for the encouragement! A beautiful day the Lord gave us.

The wheat came in about 2 weeks early this year. Made 70 bu per acre at about 12 percent moisture.
A 55 is a good combine so I’m sure you’ll do fine.

I’ll check it out.
We farm in se south dakota.Our first self propelled combine was a 45. It was a monster compared to our ford with a air cooled engine.

Almost finished Roger? Looks like half way done there is a ton of straw to bale from what I can see. Combine looks and sounds great

@rogermiller7411 that is awesome Roger. I always enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see the baler in action
