Every series up the heads get bigger but the combines don’t slow down. If anything they speed up. Shows how much the engineering and thought process has improved combines over the years.
I like the 9500's. We had 2 of them back in the day. We now have 2- S690's. We grow corn, soybeans, wheat & oats. Thanks for the footage Jason. BTP rocks!!👍👍
Nice video of 50 years of John Deere combines plus im a huge John Deere person and I'm looking foward to 2022 for celebrating 70 years of John Deere combines
I owned in this order a JD 7720, CIH 2144, CIH 2344, CIH 2588, CIH 7088, CIH 9120, JD 9870, JD S680. The best Deere in my opinion was the 9870. Simple and easy to operate. My favorite all time combine was the 7088. That was an awesome machine. After running both red and green combines I gotta say the red machines are ahead of the green ones in technology and engineering. I run all green tractors but if I was to buy a new combine tomorrow I would drive straight to a CASE-IH dealer
We ran Massey Harris and Massey Ferguson for 60 years then went Green and ran 7720s and 8820s on the harvest run in the USA 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 during the 80s and 9600s during the 90s at the time they were big combines now they look like kids toys compared to the new models can’t believe how much bigger and price of new equipment has gotten now Thanks for the old memories
We run 2 9770s and 1 9870. 2 of them have 635d heads and one has a 936d. We harvest wheat and canola with them. Those machines run really good (even in -20 (Celsius) combining in the snow.
We run a pair of S790s. Both have power fold grain tanks with 100 bushel extensions. One runs a 712FC and a macdon fd140 and the other runs a 735fd. They have a lot of capacity
I had several JD Combines 45,55,4420 and a 6620. All of them good with exception to the 6620, absolute junk. I've had several Gleaners M2, F2 and currently have an old K which is the best I've ever had. Nothing fancy, but reliable, does a very good job on wheat and corn. I really enjoyed the video, THANKS!
Great Video ,here in Europe we have had some different models starting with 730 in the 1960s then 970, 975 1075,1175 ,Z2066,Z2266,CTS,9780,C670 all from Zwiebrucken factory in Germany and rotary models from US 9880,S680,S780 ,now we are trailing X9 !!
I have spent some 4,000+ hours on the seat of a 6600 combine. Owned 4 different machines with the last 3 being sidehills. Currently own and operate a 7721 Titan 2, pulled with a John Deere 4630 powershift, and a Cockshutt 422 pulled by a Cockshutt 30 gas, cutting wheat and milo in southside Virginia.
Of all of the JD combines I've been around I've got to say that the 9650 is the one I miss the most. Can't beat an old walker machine, plus the blowers the on I was on made seeing what was going on easier. Currently the farm runs a 2014 S680 and a 2019 S780. We harvest rice and soybeans with these two wonderful machines.
My first owned was a 95. Of the ones you showed I have owned a 6600, a 6620, a 9500 and have spent time in a 9660 and a 9670. I presently own an S670 and it’s my favorite! Gotta love auto steer and the refrigerator! Along way from the 95 with a fan in the upper right corner blowing dirty air on you and the door (2 halves as I recall) open.
I learned to drive on a 1960 John Deere 55 thrashing windrowed pinto beans. My grandpa bought it new. I own it now and still use it today. I believe that series(45, 55, 95 and 105) is my favorite and one of the best combines ever made. Of the newer ones in the video id have to go with the 9500 as my favorite.
I remember riding with my daddy in a model 55 John Deere, when the combine eventually rusted out they took the motor off and made a irrigation pump out of it👍
I first learned how to run a combine when I was 8 years old on a JD 9600 cylinder walker combine with 6 row corn headers and 20 foot wheat tables. We used smaller wheat tables so we could easily transport them up and down the road without taking off the headers in small fields that were usually less than 40 acres. We upgraded to 9610s with 8 row corn headers and 22 foot wheat tables after that. Then, as the years went on, we had a 9650 and 9660. My Granddaddy has not upgraded combines in several years because acreage will vary each year and his current combine is in great shape. He will be 79-years-old this August and he still operates a 9770 STS (himself) with an 8 row corn header and a 30 foot wheat table. When we harvest corn, he uses an 8295R JD tractor with a 1,000 bushel Unverferth grain cart on large tires. He always WANTS to upgrade to an s790 and now the X9 series, but we constantly have to wait on semi trucks in August with corn harvesting, so it really doesn’t matter what we operate, because we rarely ever get to pull corn from sun up to sun down without waiting or having to quit early. My favorite of all the combines was probably the 9650 because that’s when I was in high school and Granddaddy expected me to run one in the summers. That was a good time in my life on the farm. My Granddaddy would say his favorite was the 8820. He’d harvest 2,000 acres of corn, 2000 acres of wheat and 2000 acres of grain sorghum with just ONE back in the late 1980’s. 🚜🌽🥜 Love your channel and videos. I want to take my Granddaddy to your friend, Matt’s farm sometime so he can see all of those combines in action. He loves your channel as well.
Great history to read. Nice line up of combines over the years. The 9770 STS is one of my favorites. The 8820 was a monster in its day. Where does your family farm?
The Titan series of combine is my favourite great memories of riding along with my uncle harvesting wheat that was awesome to see five decades of them all still working in the field
@@bigtractorpower Jason sorry my friend you both bring great videos to us ...i was watching both of you at the same time ... sorry ...thanks for the video Jason keep up the great content
Nice to see how equipment has changed over the years and makes you think how fast the equipment has improved. Seems to me it was just a few years ago we used pull type combines
I have commented this on your videos before, but I have fond memories of riding along with my uncles during harvest with their 9500 combines. Thanks for the amazing content!!
Great video as always BTP. It's so good to see all these green harvesting machines. The terminology is moving very fast. Can't wait for a video of the new X9.
favorite JD combine is the first combine i ran when moving here, 8820 Titan 2, the combine that's best value for money is the second one we owned, a 1997 9600 anniversary model. and the best combine/seeder combo is the 9560, it's the machine that changed us to NH.
Those are great combines. Unfortunately I have not filmed them in wheat so I did this video from 1970 to 2020. The 5 series was 1947 to 1968. Hopefully in time I will find the 5 series to film in wheat.
We run a 9400 with 11000 engine hours harvests year after year . Going to have to redo the budy seat , its worn out from so many riders hahaha😁 thanks for the cool videos 👍
Big tractor power we run a S660 and we cut winter wheat corn sorbeins and headers are:a draper grain header and 8 row corn header corn number:830 and 30 inch row grain head:fd630 flex draper with 30 ft with
They good looking Machines but where we are there the back up is poor but I do like the 9500 I think that was pretty much the blueprint to the design they are today!
Not a farmer but it is real interesting how and what happens after the head. Will always remember the tour when i was in college and we watched the paint line. And later I drove a simi and delivering parts to several colors
Great content as usual bigtractorpower. Fun progression of JD combines. I would love a chance to drive any one of those beauties for a few passes.... I bet some folks watching this remember days when they couldn't wait to get out of one of these! I do have to say that the s790 looks really cool. Very futuristic I guess? Combines in general are cool looking machines IMO but there is something about the tracks and its size that just looks extra beastly. Thanks for the video!
MY favorite John Deere combines?! The burned out ones in the salvage yard! Lololololol! Ok, just funnin' y'all! I like the 5 series. The 95 is tops in my book out of that generation of Deere combine.
since 1982 i have owned a mf 750,mf 860,2 jd 6620 sh one was a titan 2,1997 9500sh ,9760 sh it was my favorite and now we use s670 sh and 2yrs ago added a 470 cat lexion that we should of never bought,you cant even give them away.live and learn.
I run a John Deere 9550 with duals and an 6 row corn head and a 25 ft platform I do corn and soybeans. What about the new X9 combine I didn’t know if you had seen one yet
The 9550 is a great combine. I like double model number machines. Watch for a 9550 harvesting oats here on BTP. I have been in the field with an X9 1100 harvesting wheat 😉. Impressive combine.
I seen a local farmer here in michigan with a john deere S550. When was that model put into service? What were its specifications? I'd like to see some footage of that machine.
Every series up the heads get bigger but the combines don’t slow down. If anything they speed up. Shows how much the engineering and thought process has improved combines over the years.

Ran a 9500 for my uncle was a great machine now we love our '11 9770
I learned to cut wheat on a John Deere 95 with no cab. The good ole days.
I recall the day we retired the 45 and put the 95 into the field. It seemed like a giant!
I have spent some 4,000+ hours on the seat of a 6600 combine. Owned 4 different machines with the last 3 being sidehills. Currently own and operate a 7721 Titan 2, pulled with a John Deere 4630 powershift, and a Cockshutt 422 pulled by a Cockshutt 30 gas, cutting wheat and milo in southside Virginia.

I liked the CTS you couldn’t ask for a better rice combine than that 👍👍
“Nothing Runs like a Deere” gotta love John Deere equipment great video BTP
Thank you for watching.
And Nothing burns like a Deere
Joking
Nothing runs like a deere when a Puma is hunting 😂
(Sorry about that)
My all time favorite is the S770 done wheat Barley Soybeans and corn and to me the s770 is the best John deere ever made
Worked during the 1990's on the Maximizer 9600 - was beast for it's time.
Loved it!
We run a 9500 with 25' bean head and 8 row corn head. Love it!
Very nice. The 9500 is one of the greats.
We run a 9610 john deere with a 36 foot header good machine use to have an 8820 love the older conventional machines
Spent many hours as a kid combining with a John Deere 55 and two row corn head
9870sts John Deere or 8820 with the yellow roof always got my attention!
4420 BTP. Thanks for showing.
A Video full of Johnny Power and History... Amazing 😍💚💛
The Titan series of combine is my favourite great memories of riding along with my uncle harvesting wheat that was awesome to see five decades of them all still working in the field
The Titan combines are solid machines. I am working on getting more yellow and green tops filmed this year.
I like john deere equipment😁👍 my favorite combines are the S 690 and the STS series👍😉
Great video👍👍
thanks Mike you never disappoint...could watch that for hours ...lol
Thank you for watching. I am Jason.
@@bigtractorpower Jason sorry my friend you both bring great videos to us ...i was watching both of you at the same time ... sorry ...thanks for the video Jason keep up the great content
We still using the JD 1175, 2002 with conventional rotor and 19 ft. cut. Excellent reliability. Great video.🇦🇷
I think the Titan series of John deere combines has to be my favorite. I like the 9650 as well and great video!
Mine too.
My family started with a 45, then a 95, then a 6600, 7700, 9600 and now a 9870.
I have a 91 9600 we do wheat, corn, & beans. 4000 hours and still going strong.
Nice to see how equipment has changed over the years and makes you think how fast the equipment has improved. Seems to me it was just a few years ago we used pull type combines
I have commented this on your videos before, but I have fond memories of riding along with my uncles during harvest with their 9500 combines. Thanks for the amazing content!!
The 9500 is one of the greats.
Gotta say the 8820 is my favorite wish ours still ran I miss her!
My uncle bought a 7700 Titan brand new. I thought it was the nicest combine I'd ever seen.
Great video as always BTP. It's so good to see all these green harvesting machines. The terminology is moving very fast. Can't wait for a video of the new X9.
Defonatly the JD X9 1000 and the 1100 are my nomber1 and the S680 790i combines are my 2nd fave but I used to love the JD titan aswell
I remember upgrading to a 95. We ended up having two with 16’ headers, cutting wheat in SE CO for about six weeks. Cutting for 6 different farmers
favorite JD combine is the first combine i ran when moving here, 8820 Titan 2, the combine that's best value for money is the second one we owned, a 1997 9600 anniversary model. and the best combine/seeder combo is the 9560, it's the machine that changed us to NH.
The 8820 is one of the greats. What model New Holland do you run?
bigtractorpower went from a CX860 to CX8080 3 times then currently run a CR9.90
Where’s the 105/95/45 vintage? Love to see those.
Those are great combines. Unfortunately I have not filmed them in wheat so I did this video from 1970 to 2020. The 5 series was 1947 to 1968. Hopefully in time I will find the 5 series to film in wheat.

Quite a collection of combines. Really cool machines.
Some really nice classic machines there 👍
They good looking Machines but where we are there the back up is poor but I do like the 9500 I think that was pretty much the blueprint to the design they are today!
I like the X9 1100 with a 50 foot Draper head and a 16 row folding corn head. (Huh?! What?! I was dreaming?!?! Let me go back to sleep!!!)
I got your back on that. Its a darn big combine and looks amazing with the killa looks and the CAB. See ya later case nh fendt claas and MF
I remember dad had a 12A than a 45, than in 1975 we got a 7700 than a 7720, 9500, 9550, and now a 9770. I’ve seen all those machines working.
Not a farmer but it is real interesting how and what happens after the head. Will always remember the tour when i was in college and we watched the paint line. And later I drove a simi and delivering parts to several colors
These are threshing grain factories on wheels. It amazes me how many parts come together to build a combine.
John Deere luv them!
😁👍
I started out riding with Dad on a 55 John Deere with a 12 foot header. was 10 years old and it was 1960. My how things have changed.
Can you imagine if you could bring John deere back to life?. What he would think.
I was expecting to see the older 45/95 combines, but then I realized 50 years ago was 1970...geez we are getting old!
New models I grew up using a john deere 55. It could still run today if needed.
Thank you BTP! Great video!
👍 I run a 2013 S680 with a 640 flex Draper. We combine Red Hard Spring Wheat and Soybeans here in west central Minnesota.
Very nice.
Fantastic video of through the year of JD Combines!! The evolution of their header are interesting too especially the 2020 model!!!
Headers have come along way. The oldest header in this video is a 1979. The new model year 2021 XD shown at the head is a nice harvesting option.
@@bigtractorpower nice facts but headers have also got heavier..... hence the wheels supporting the 2021 model 😁💪🏼
Our farm runs three 9660 STS combines harvest grass seed in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, grass seed capital of the world!
My favorite is the X9 John Deere
Great content as usual bigtractorpower. Fun progression of JD combines. I would love a chance to drive any one of those beauties for a few passes.... I bet some folks watching this remember days when they couldn't wait to get out of one of these!
I do have to say that the s790 looks really cool. Very futuristic I guess? Combines in general are cool looking machines IMO but there is something about the tracks and its size that just looks extra beastly. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for watching. Driving these machines is neat. I did get to drive the 4420 in this video for a round 😁
I favorite old combine is a 9600. And my favorite combine that’s newer is a S780
It's good that you haven't seen the Russian SK-5 Niva combine.💪 It's just a cannon. 👍 Hello from Russia 🖐
My favorite is the S790
The 790 is an impressive combine.
@@bigtractorpower very. But I think the new X9 1000 will defo Be the S790s big bro and the X9 1100 will be the chief over them all
Dang our 55 combine never harvested that fast lol
MY favorite John Deere combines?! The burned out ones in the salvage yard! Lololololol! Ok, just funnin' y'all! I like the 5 series. The 95 is tops in my book out of that generation of Deere combine.
Great video I love John Deere machines.
👍👍
7700,my favorite
I Like the Titan II and the '70 STS
What was the catalyst to the sudden and massive increase in the blade size of combine harvesters from the 1990’s?
Super résumé des moissonneuse john deere !!! Mais il manque la X9 ...
Thank you so much for the Video!
Nice Video.
9510 is my favorite
👍👍
The 9500 was the best in my opinion
Great video. My personal favorite is the 1989 John Deere 8820 Titan ll.
😁👍👍

The 9550 is a great combine. I like double model number machines. Watch for a 9550 harvesting oats here on BTP. I have been in the field with an X9 1100 harvesting wheat 😉. Impressive combine.
My fondness memories are riding in a jd 7700 combine with my grandfather on hours on end.
This would be my favourite BTP ,great to see .thanx
Thank you for watching.
'67 john deere 55 hydraulic drive is my favorite combine
I've ran the 4420 , but my favorite is the S780
They make great equipment
I have two favorites the 105 and the 7720
We still use a 1967 jd 630 patented with a pick up and no bin straight to 200 lbs sacks for beans
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
We run a 1982 JD 4420 with a 213 grain head and a 443 corn head in NW Ohio. We harvest wheat, oats, soybeans, corn, and red clover seed.
Very cool. The 4420 in this video is also a 1982 model.
bigtractorpower we really like it and for a smaller machine it sure performs well and scoots right thru the crop
My family used a 30 pull type when I was younger.
Very cool. What tractor operated the 30?
bigtractorpower I’ll bet it was pulled by a 60, 620 or a 630.
Close, 720 the hand clutch. Keep up the good work. We enjoy your content and communications.
#ILoveThisChannel
One thing i was surprised is how many 90s combines didnt have grain tank extensions
Nice vid
We run 5 JD 780’s thinking about going to 3 X9 1100’s
Me and my dad run 2 9860 and 35 foot macdon draper , but my first combine was a 8820
I seen a local farmer here in michigan with a john deere S550. When was that model put into service? What were its specifications? I'd like to see some footage of that machine.
John Deere 4425 European version, back in the 80's.
We still run a 6600 on our farm to harvest corn 🌽
