I used to do 900 acres with a 1480. Nice to see those older machines still out working. Dont need a million dollars to bring in a crop. Bought 2 more for spares/ parts for 1k each. Drove them 150 miles home.gonna keep 1 in reserve in case of breakdowns.
I'm impressed by the 60+ year old grain truck. It looks great. Likely not too many active, working farm trucks of that age in MI or the midwest as a whole.
Yeah my grandpa used to own 2800 acres in Kansas and he handled all of it with that beast, he ran a 16 foot header because that was the biggest header ih had at the time
Rolled the 1983 1460 over 5000 hours this fall. Two years ago rebuilt the hydro pump and replaced all hydraulic lines. $2000 about doubled the value of the machine. Each year I do some upgrades as needed and the old girl cuts more wheat per hour and gives a cleaner sample. I keep thinking of upgrading to a 2388 or a 7088, but then I would have to spend more money and figure out what to do with the days when I would not be cutting grain, lol
Always great to see a 14 series working hard in the field. We run a 1440, and it might not be the biggest fanciest machine out there, but we enjoy it very much
What a great video. IH was my first employer after college, and I loved that company. This reminds me so much of Surry County, NC where I grew up in the farm country. Where I feel in love with International Harvester equipment and the people who farmed that land.
That one still has a muffler.....you should hear them beller with a straight pipe. Great old machines....just finished picking corn with a 1978 1460 and 963 corn head
@@wetlooklooker8502 I would assume that us farmers already have a tractor or two so when the combine and trucks are in use one would be available for a cart. A 525 bu. cart used can be bought for about 7500 bucks. My neighbor farms 600 acres and has 2 carts hooked to both of his tractors (takes about 125 hp.) so when his son shows up with semi, it is filled in about 2 minutes and back on the road to the bin.. The combine does not stop combining except to turn around at the ends. It does take 1 guy for combine, 1guy for carts, 1 guy for semi. I agree with you 100% on the compaction thing but it seems that winter is always hurrying us up.
@@wetlooklooker8502 my friend just traded a 600 bushel cart. He got about 8k for it. Any decent tractor could be used with maybe 25k. Thays a long way from 100k. But many farmers have big acres and justice big equipment.
Upgraded from a G gleaner to a 1480 many years ago, now running a 2188....long live IHC.... second to none!
I have a 1420 and it does just as good as the new ones. 300 ac. I do + costume 👍👍👍👍

This brings back child hood memories growing up in the eighties

These were the hoot in their day and still are.

Glad you enjoyed it! #HarvestChaser

I have two 1420 s
They are good machines!
That first truck that pulls in is a classic also.
Looks like a Diamond-Reo by the hood and grill shape.
I thought it was an international 190
@@randyvoss Maybe, not close enough for me to tell. But a cool old ride no matter.
Still run a 1983 1440!! 3,400 hours

Alien technology back in 1977.
Btw my cousin bought one new in 1982 and he still harvests everything with it ,darn good classic machine.
Love it
Nice
how come your not planting that strip along the corn field
Great combine. those 1400 series revolutionized combines. Does your corn head have Knife rollers ?
Seems with out a grain cart to dump on the go it slows things down a lot.
Adding a cart and tractor adds over 100k in cost,, does it really pay? Less soil compaction in the field without the cart.

Yes. Absolutely it would. If you got yourself and 1 helper this is how it'd have to be unfortunately

With that 6 row probably gives it a workout!!
1460 is meant for a 6 row, will go 4mph all day with it.
What type of drone was used to get these shots
No drone, just a long pole & a GoPro! Thanks for watching! #harvestchaser
why only 5 rows
Probably point rows. Looks like he was just opening the field.
My guess is that he was concerned the hopper would be full before getting to the end of the field to empty.
Had an extra row down at the other end. Not all fields are square.
Why are you combining 5 rows at a time with a 6-row header?
He had an extra row at the other end. Not all fields are perfectly square.
He's more than likely finishing up the point rows....I'm sure he combines with all six rows in the rest of the field.
