The combine thats harvesting beans is our combine. Serial N41065. Has the cab air cleaner extension. Im pretty sure the guy in overalls is Bill Hoeppner a neighbor that worked at Independence plant. Development started in 1980 of the the R40/50 or N3/4 at the time. Took 7 years of Development for it to hit the market in 1987. It was a forerunner with simpler design than N series thats still used today on Super Series.
Thank you, J&L, for uploading this excellent video! We had this exact 1988 R50 on our farm in southern MN for twenty years before my parents retired. I ran it for many hours myself, and enjoyed the whole experience of operating it in the fall for both corn and beans. We had the RWA that really helped us out in muddy conditions… we remember many wet harvests. Loved our R50… great memories. 👍

Great video as always! Question. Is this the one that is going to replace the one that was burnt up for Nolan?
I found a nice R7 for sale I told them they should go after, but I think he really want's a N series
@J and L Videos There is a nice-looking N7 on tractorhouse, but it is in Michigan. (John and Leroy Tomlinson equipment. )
Oops, it's a N6 gleaner combine.
Best in the business!
