- The JD 860 Scraper is a short promotional film from John Deere, touting the features of the “money-saving” JD 860 Scraper, which John Deere released in 1969. The film (from 1969 or the early 1970s) features over 15 minutes of footage of the JD 860 Scraper at work. The film opens with a pristine JD 860 (00:44) before cutting to the JD 860 in action (01:15). The elevating scrapper with its 215-net flywheel horsepower diesel engine has a 37,500-cubic foot capacity, maximizing time on the job. The film reviews a number of features designed to contribute to the scraper’s performance and high output. The controls (02:20), gauges, and fuses are placed for ease of access. The bottom panel drops down to form a step (03:08), while the top panel opens upward to reveal part of the engine and the dip stick. The all-hydraulic elevated scrapper is designed to move material at a lower cost than other scrapers. It is self-loading, so no pusher is needed. It can make tight turns with its articulated steering and is equipped with position-responsive steering with hydraulic follow-up. Every major component of the JD 860 is tested under simulated working conditions at the John Deere research facility (06:14). Indoor tests include testing draft and engine frame (06:35) and steering components. More tests are conducted in the field (06:59), including rolling the JD 860 over an embankment to test cab strength. Prototypes are then put to work (07:21) loading, hauling, and dumping earth. The scrappers are run through extensive timing and weighing tests to ensure they are as efficient as possible. There is a shot of a semi-truck hauling a JD 860 (08:48) on a major highway. The JD 860 is great for a variety of jobs, including trench-type sanitary landfill work (08:56) and major highway construction (09:13). The JD 860 is also designed with the comfort of the operator in mind, as the seat is foam-padded, suspended on cushion of air, and positioned so the operator can easily watch the cutting while operating the controls. Hydraulic breaks allow various breaking power. With its high-scraping speeds, the JD 860 is perfect for county road projects. At the future home of the Richmond Hill Little League Ball Park in Geneseo, IL (12:36), the JD 860’s cutting edge and elevator system are on display. The film shows how the JD 860 pulverizes the ground with elevator lips. John Deere dealerships having locally trained servicemen (14:10) who can bring replacement parts quickly, adding to the overall value of operating a JD 860. The film concludes with more shots of the JD 860 at work and recaps the key features of the machine, its testing, and its profit potential for possible buyers.

I'm a retired operating engineer 65 yrs old and the 862's we had were the best self loading scraper around!, the cat 615's were dogs!. Its a shame they quit building them!.
I still have. My 1970 860 runs and works great
I worked for a small excavation contractor in the 1970's. This was a very handy machine to own. One operator left alone, could accomplish a lot in a day.
The other driver comfort device was a pair of earmuffs 😂
This is why all of our dads or grandpas are deaf
Glad theres a windshield wiper on an open cab.
have a 860A since 1974 and it still works, have 3 862B and do a lot of work with them
Is it me or the cab's design really looks modern?
Because it is....
I can remember seeing these when I was young I'm seeing born with two engines on it in a push-pull configuration
Deere never had a twin engine model!
Sounds like a woodstock hippy a full heaped bowl every time
😄👏
Never seen one of those seats work before.. man I am lucky.
The narrator must have been busy in his career because every single documentary from the mid century 1990s has the same exact sounding dude narrating their films
I remember those hard working machines, no hearing protection required.
The 6-71 Detroit used in this thing sounds like that used in the old Crown school buses I rode on field trips as a kid. Sick! 👍👍👍
Love the music to this; reminds me of the music Sam Spence composed for NFL films.
Did anyone else notice that the cab with the mannequin inside (the one that rolled) was enclosed, while all of the other cabs were open?
Actually all but the one which was rolled didn't have cabs lol
modern and beautiful
Sounded like a Screamin Detroit Diesel! Used to drive a EUC IN a steel mill that had one! Needed ear plugs lol
Love the 2 stroke sound :)
Unless it was right beside you for 8-10 hours
@@Offroader451-rm5jz Good point, but I did many 12 hour shifts on 2 stroke machines, maybe coz I havent done it for years I recall never getting tired of it :):):),
@@vicbittertoo Back then we thought nothing of it.
@@Offroader451-rm5jz spot on champ, "you want ear plugs ?, are you some sort of homo???", was the general attitude :):), cheers
If the elevator chain would turn that fast on a cat it would be bad ass
رائع جدا انا احب معدات جوندير كثيرا واعشقها انها
معدات رائعة👌👍👍👍
860 was pretty good, but the 762 and 862 were better because of a few key changes, like converter lockup, and shifting a bit more weight onto the powered axle.
God, I have own so many of those screaming 860, 860a Jimmy's... Detroit 6-71 straight-six, rebuild every 2-3 years.
I sold one once to my buddy, he said it leaked so much oil everywhere it was even coming out the headlights.
IF THERE AINT OIL UNDER IT THERE AINT OIL IN IT lol.
I never checked the oil in any Detroit I ran,, I just added a gallon everyday.
He wasn't a very good mechanic. Our detroits didn't leak oil. That was our bosses pet peeve.
I think the soundtrack was written by NFL Films?
I didn't know this was powered by a 6-71 detroit motor..
Good video but even though it was a Deere it was sure running a G.M. Detroit 2-cycle diesel! Probably a 4-71.
The 860A had a 6-71N.
@@timberanek45 Plenty of power then.
Lewie McNeely I believe they eventually converted to Deere engines in the later model years. I have a brochure in a box that in the shop, I’ll have to look tomorrow. I don’t recall what 860 letter series is in that brochure.
@@timberanek45 Seems like the one I saw had a Deere engine. It sure wasn't a 2-cycle. NOBODY forgets one of those!
@@lewiemcneely9143 milk....
I didnt know John Deere's ran Detroit diesels
6:56 for sale: prototype model, never used slightly beat on.
'Plush' he says.
We always cut them up and turned them into water wagons
Did the mannequin survive?
Looks like he ejected.....
I don't know, but it's funny they show the roll over test with a ROPS cab, then immediately cut to a scene of a live operator in an open cab, lol.
Yeah, I think the cab is only supposed to be rated for one revolution, not 3 or 4...a bit of overkill here
1:00 Thunderbirds ordered a fleet of these for international rescue
Then God made rocks...
Oh the noise...oy vey
Nice machine s
671N Gmc
No roll cage?
This was before OSHA.
Jump and roll days
That was in the days when men had balls big enough to hold them in the seat, even upside down.
7:14 HEY,,, where´s the driver at ?!
3:53 Unqualified? Umm 🤔
That first picture of it looked like a toy lol
3:55 "the unqualified reputation of John Deere engineering"?
Its probably because of that wide open view of impending doom in the forms of flying rocks and shattering blades.
Yes. They all quit working for NASA to build earth moving equipment. It was a challenge,both in their wallet and mind but they produced a noisy,too little pos.
That Detroit engine always sounds like it’s about to explode ☠️
2-stroke Detroit for you 😁
ooooo foam cushion seat boys hold on its gona be rough
John deere needs to stay with farming.
He said 215 hp which sounds to me like a 6-71.
6-71N
Exactly. Deere had nothing close to that power at the time.
I think I'll have a CAT 🙀
I reckon the 760A is better, pretty much same scraper bowl without the screaming Detroit engine!
Smaller bowl, smaller engine
nice . JD used a GMC two stroke?
For a very long time.
They didn't have an engine that big back then. They used Detroits in tractors as well.
Detroit engine?
6-71N motor, yes
It looks ugly cat is better
I've run both, cat is gutless compared to Deere. I tried to kill one I've 5 year period and I couldn't do it. Cat on the other hand is better visibility and don't steer good at all.
CAT sucks overrated manufacturer
Take the cat
