- This is the next of a series of videos about the 03 series McCormick combines. It's a rather interesting comparison between that & Deere, AC Gleaner & JI Case. Enjoy folks!! More combines to come. :vD
Lots of bold,straight up comparison. Pretty bold for the day. Thanks Ikon.
Put a lot of acres through a 203 in the 70's
Love these old films! But the comparison to the Gleaner E is deceptive. The separating starts at the thresher beater fan just behind the cylinder and the fan speed is not adjusted at all. It has a choke adjustment to limit air flow and there is no speed adjustment. My R52 has a choke adjustment and I think the S series does yet today. It's a simple almost maintenance free system.
My Dad farmed most of his farming days with a first year production E, 1961?. Never had any sheet metal come loose. It was a great combine which I cut my harvesting teeth on. Still sits on the farm. My first combine was a last year production E, 1967. I still have it in the shed and when I harvest oats, it still does the job for me. I'll never sell it. My E would take corn or beans better than the neighbor's two 55 Deeres. He had one for corn and one for beans because of the hassle it was to change heads. He told me he sold them to the first sucker that came along when he bought his L3.
It's cool to see how they compared to other brands and how much larger everything is now days. Thanks for sharing.
It was neat to see. I just wish I had filmstrips from the other companies represented on this filmstip to let them have there rebuttal. Maybe someday, if I ever find such a thing. Glad you enjoyed!
Back in 1930 I bought 4 of these
Keep up the great work bud!
Will do, thanks! More combine footage is on it way in a while.
More cool litiature!!!! Thanks for the video!!!
I'm glad you enjoy! Hoping to get a couple more done today & then I think I'm at the end of the combines.
