1928 Holt 36 combining in 2020 

Thanks for watching - glad we were able to give you a visit to the past!!

Everything comes full circle what was old is new again

Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed

Thanks for watching I really appreciate it.

Hi there thanks for watching - you are absolutely correct. As a matter of fact there is a autonomous seeder that’s being tested here in Saskatchewan.

Thanks for checking it out

I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would love any help you can give me.

@Rex Alonzo instablaster ;)

@Madden Marcos I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Madden Marcos it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

@Rex Alonzo Glad I could help =)

Thanks for watching - it really is amazing to watch the old gal work - almost 100 years old and still doing what it was built for.

Chuck Czaplweski thanks Chuck

Sounds like an old Allis Chalmers All-Crop machine.

Thanks for stopping by glad you enjoyed

Great video, thanks for sharing. When I was at school some 40 years ago one of the local farmers used to harvest one of his grain fields the traditional way. Some was cut with scythes, some with a finger mower, some of that was by horse drawn mower / harvesters seem to recall it had the ability to bundle and tie the sheaves? Some of the time he towed the harvester behind an old grey Ferguson tractor, the sheaves were stacked in stooks, and then the stooks were loaded onto the traditional cart with the angled head and tail boards and brought to a ‘mobile’ thresher hauled and powered by a steam traction engine. Being a young inquisitive person with a leaning towards engineering I was fascinated with the whole process and as I was stood watching one of the team called me over, explained the process and asked if I’d like to help, well that was the bees knees and I got to help with all of the process apart from standing on the thresher and feeding the wheat as it was considered to dangerous for me! I went back every day that I could until they were done, I remember that with great fondness and feel incredibly privileged to have been able to not only witness this but to have helped with it. I can’t imagine that happening today, too much risk of backlash for so many reasons these days. 😢

Thanks for sharing and watching - this too could of had the grain bag option vs a hopper.

Not so much the combine but the guy setting it!

Not really it looks about the same

Farming has evolved! Like watching a original workhorse in action👍👍!

And go much, much faster. In addition, they have safety guards on them.

JD kept the original design for many years after they bought the product from Holt/Caterpillar yes

That would be interesting Ed- I’m sure guys tried it back in the day

Thanks for checking it out Shane! Glad you enjoyed.

nice to see child on crawler tractor looking and learning how grandpy done it

Thanks man - it is pretty awesome

Nathan Duncan alway wish I could go back in time to when these tweeted Kong’s of the fields

Thanks for watching

Think of it as not having to plant as much seed for the next crop. :-)

Actually, if set up properly, these were very efficient. The farmer I worked for in the sixties had a McCormick #51 that I pulled and he would walk along with it getting hatfuls of material from the shakers and would rework the setup if necessary

Wasting grain was unacceptable in that day an age,today's new machine put enough grain back on the ground to support a farmer back then

Yeh if you want to pay 10 bucks for a loaf a bread.

@@zeusmacafee5097 yeah but whoever complains about buying a loaf of bread? Maybe they should be $10 the farmer won't make the profit. Bread is not that precious. Unfortunately...😞

@@zeusmacafee5097 I grow hrsw and it doesn't get the respect that it deserves. Especially thanks to those non-carb diets which I think is BS

@@altestic9436 well that’s what I’m saying wheat isn’t worth anything as it is and you want to use these machines and hire more people? You could never do that you Wouldn’t make any money

Less fun in the dust & noise after 2-3 weeks of it!

That’s awesome thanks for checking this one up

How can we chat more about the pickup header do you have an email?

Hi there - yes is has the Wisconsin water cooled engine. I always like reminding all my John Deere combine friends that Caterpillar sold them the combine haha! Thanks for watching good luck with your museums #36

The "no weeds" in a wheat field was unusual back in those days. No herbicides.

She was just being ignorant

Seams like everything comes back around after so long but then they think it's something new but really it's been out for a long time !

Of course the draper headers now are moister proof as opposed to the old canvas that would soak up any dew and shrink

You should restore it.

@@Xander_Zimmermann Yeah, I should,, but sadly, I have way too many projects already plus trying to run a farm. I've been talking to a guy who might be interested, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Yes modern equipment produced the crop, and no this combine would have never seen yields like this in its day, but it still processes it like a champ, she was built to handle more then the times could throw at her. Thanks for watching

When horses were in the field it was shocked and thrashed at a stationary threshing machine

@@gregkoenig9200 huge teams originally pulled this type of combine, ground driven

@@highwatercircutrider I didn't know that because in the east my grandfather went from thrashing machine to a tractor drawn pulltype

@@gregkoenig9200 my father bought a pull type John Deere right after he got out of the Army at the end of WWII, he had to borrow my uncles John Deere A to run it.

Same way they do now. I often ran a pulltype swather. First round is made with the tractor on the inside. Then a few passes down the middle to split the field into sections. Yes, some would be wasted to trample, but we let the cows into the fields after, they loved to clean it up.

gotta remember alot of fields were not as big as they are now. so im assuming some farmers back then. probably skipped a row or two when planting. but also like the comment above mine. they probably ran some over first pass like cutting hay with a disc bine.

Haha yah to be fair the sane goes for Caterpillar / they have lots of products they’ve purchased over the years too

It helped a little but man, but still wasn’t the same. Missed seeing all the people I know at shows!

@@ironman3406 I agree I'm a vendor I sell kettle corn popcorn I do the gas engine shows in Ohio I sure did miss it this year I love the old steam engines and the Old Farm Equipment. I do a gas engine show in Greenville Ohio and they do a beautiful glow off at night with her steam engines. They have a field there that they plant in wheat so they show people how it works and then they plow the ground to really cool

@@unknownuser2737 that’s awesome

Efficiency and technology I’d say are the largest changes

@@ironman3406 speed and safety, two more. Oh, air conditoning.

Wanted to exercise them both

As far as I know there is no speed adjustment for the reel like modern combines - the only thing you can really adjust is the table height, other than that the only other control you’ve got is the clutch to engage and disengage the whole unit from the engine. Planning to do another video this fall if it running. Thanks for watching

I agree but have no idea how to do that lol I’m no computer programmer wizard - thanks for watching
