      He is not a white American, for those, it is all about showing off wealth. He knows how to present himself in a way that makes people like him for for the "person" he is and not because of what "man toys" he got.

    • @huss1205
      @huss1205 6 років тому +1

      Richard Harrold it is Europe, I live in Sweden, you can not tell the rich from the middle-class. People are humble in general and don't tend to brag. As you said, it is history, they get rich but they look at the classy rich people of the past and take them as an example for how man should present himself. That's why British leaders left a good impact when they lived overseas, in the colonies, they became examples of how to be a gentleman...

    • @wiseguy724
      @wiseguy724 6 років тому +2

      @@huss1205 That's a pretty broad claim to make. I have met several people who are millionaires who wear jeans, flip flops, or coveralls and are of all types of personalities, from downright hippies to just regular dudes. California and NY are only 2 parts of a huge country, the rest of the US is a great place to be and has some generally cool people, at all levels of income. Years ago I worked at a dealership in the southeast, the owner owned not just mine but several dealers, and you would not be able to tell him apart from a local farmers market guy selling potatoes. Don't base your opinion of an entire country on what you see on youtube or pop culture news from our ridiculous coastal metropolis areas, that only represents maybe 10% of what America is really like.

    Harry, rated Power is the power the combine needs to work at normal workload. Not using the full power to save fuel, produce less co2, etc, so that manufacturers can comply with emissions regulations.
    Boosted power is power at peak turbo boost, for extra workload rate. This applies to all agricultural machines these days, tractors, combines, etc.
    Never could imagine you farming! Especially with a Panerai on the wrist! Great guy!

      Depends on the brands i think, but most of them have to be programed accordingly to the type of work you're doing. Agricultural machinery is much more advanced than cars in terms of power management, efficiency and transmissions and maybe autonomus work.

  • @shanehnorman
    @shanehnorman 6 років тому +4

    Absolutely riveting. I grew up on a farm in Co. Cork and remember well how we progressed from a McCormick reaper-and-binder, which looked like a mobile windmill, to a silver Claas combine harvester, with a bagging platform, halfway up one side, that was manned by two workers. It looked like a battleship. Harvesting remained a great local occasion, despite the change in machinery, but the combine's arrival meant that I missed the drama of watching the threshing-machine in operation, driven off the side-pulley of a Fordson tractor (the old dark blue model). It looked like a brown wooden house - and was almost as big - rumbling and shaking, every bit of it in motion.

    The Combine is the ultimate multitasker. With one pass it cuts, strips the seed & cleans it, distributes the hay, can unload directly into a truck driving parallel or fill the bin, then unload parked. A true workhorse!

  • @erichakanson7010
    @erichakanson7010 6 років тому

    Fantastic stuff Harry! As an American who spent part of his childhood in Kansas (a major wheat producing state) I can completely appreciate how necessary (and valuable) these combines are for farmers. I remember on some of the giant wheat farms which sometimes measured a couple thousand acres, watching 7-8 combines all side by side harvesting the wheat. So it's fascinating to see how these mini factories actually work. And although I'm a European sports car fanatic at heart, I love learning about anything born of mechanics and design. Thanks Harry. Cheers mate!

    7 year old me used to love watching the combines on the farm we lived on in the 1980s, two big JD 1085s and a two New Holland’s. Still like to see them in the fields in the summer to this day. The Axial Flows were revolutionary and met with a lot of sceptics back then but now every major Combine maker has a rotary combine in some shape as its flagship.

    Great video Harry, reminded me of my Uncle Jack's farm when I was a kid, bloody good too, I never thought I'd watch a video about one these things, blimey!

    Why on earth am I watching a video about how a combine works?
    Well, it has a 9-litre engine, which you'll need a ladder to take a look at, and it's Harry doing what he's best at: talking about different kinds of machinery. I'm happy!

    Brilliant video Harry! I worked at Swinbrook farm during harvest 2016 and recognise a lot of the roads you drive along in your videos!

    Amazing machines and don’t think I’ve ever seen a video explaining how they actually work! Cheers Harry. 👍
