CASE INTERNATIONAL 1680 Axial-Flow Combine Harvesting Soybeans 

Same, i still drive one these awesome machines and i don't use auto steer!😄👍

I usually run one of our combines with autosteer. When I have to jump into an older combine we have without it, it feels like I'm being punished lol

I like finding the classics.

So true. My grandpa had a straight pipe Cummins 1660 (1991). Sounded soooo good.

Thank you for watching.

The 1680 is great 80’s iron. Big time harvesting for the time period.

spliceon charlie www.macdon.com/en/performance/story/profiting-from-performance Heres the story of how they came to the area

Glad to hear that. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

😁👍👍

The 1680 was the first to have a big 30ft flex header. Big soybean harvested in its day.

😁👍👍. We never had the 1455XL over here. In the IH days the 784 was the biggest import. The early days of Case IH had the 1896 and 2096 than the 5100 Maxxums were introduced. The 1455XL looks like a very sold and tough tractor.

@@bigtractorpower she really was a big old beast in her day and she sounded like it too. If you ever get a chance to take a look at one it's worth it.

There is good news. I have plenty of footage of the Puma rolling and seeding for a full video.

The thought is the heavy cover crop will surprise the weeds. Which it did. The down side is it provides a great habitat for slugs that eat the crop.

Thank you for watching. It fun filming and sharing these machines.

I miss the IH and Case days too.

Very cool. I filmed a 1640. Stay tuned for a video on that.

bigtractorpower yay

The cover crop really suppresses the weeds but it provides a healthy habitat for slugs.

mrour canada As long as its been taken great care of you can get more than 20 years out of a machine like this.

This 1680 is in great shape. It does a nice job.

Thank you for watching.

I just filmed a 2388 in corn. I imagine you are often fighting snow and mud by the time you are trying to wrap up your harvest?

Very cool. They are solid combine.

Do you ever get to video any older massey combines?

That is impressive. What crops do you raise?

Very cool. Solid machine. What size header do you run.

It sure is. It was neat to see one with the 30ft head.

@@bigtractorpower yup!👍👍👍

the white cab top is the 1400 series just before the this one

@@charlesfuglie2491 ah ok, I only rode in the 1600, remember seeing a 16 on the side. dont remember the rest of it, that was a long time ago lol he had the 1400 series for a few years before he retired from farming

1460 was the first combine that I drove by myself. I was like 12 years old. Than I drove 1680 after that. Than I did drive a 9600 John Deere. Now I'm farming on my own. The first combine that I bought was a 1680 with a Cummins and long sieve

The 1688 is cool. It was the first CIH available with duals from the factory.

John Deere has small grains, corn and soybean and rice combines. I have bunches of 00, 20 and Titan II brochures on all three variations. These were more regional releases to specialize in the majority of the raised in area. If you farmed in Kansas and Oklahoma you might but a small grain machine if your in Iowa or Illinois you would do with a corn and soybean model and Arkansas and Louisiana would look for a Rice model. Every brand had a rice model because a non rice model would ware out the grain return and unloading auger fast. I know you saw it but in the 7720 Turbo video I just released I mentioned the John Deere small grain, corn and rice models at m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0w51jubA-Fs.html Today combines can switch in the touch of a button from one crop to the next. Back then certain parts were added to make a machine better suited for one crop. It’s not a flaw it is just the way it was.

@@bigtractorpower I know,but what I was saying that the Deere was a more flexible machine in general over the I.H.version of the same class of machine.

Very nice.

Very cool. I hope to film a 1622, 1644, 1666 and 1688 some day. It’s neat to find the smaller ones like the 1644 and 1622.

I think after they moved to the 1644, 66, & 88 they dropped the small 20 series leaving 1644 as smallest.

It sure would be. I just need to find them working in the field to film. A TR95 and 850 are big on my wish list to see.

That's funny😆

mfreund15448 Yeah I don't miss harvesting those beans ,we didn't even filtered cabs.

Try combining beans after they got flooded. Can’t breath

sounds like 24 beer rather than a 12beer kinda job, lol.

@@piperdoug428 It was probably more a cube kinda job (which is 48 beer) over a flat (24) kinda job. The Combine was down for 2 weeks, the parts were only a couple days but tearing the Rotor Gear box and pulley out and putting it back took the longest.

The cover crop being rolled ahead of the drill suppressed the weeds.

Yes I believe so. The 1400, 1600, 2100, 2300 and 2500 are all very similar as far as there threshing.

@@bigtractorpower Yes they are still making parts for the 1600 series. We have an early 1620 with only 2,000 hrs and can still buy factory parts. Usually for the bigger model the dealers always have the parts in stock.

I do not know. I did not ask the farmer. It was in very nice shape.

🐝👍

There is the Inverter/Digger for digging up the rows and the combine for separating the peanuts from the rest of the trash. The Digger/Inverter is the same as used with other inground crops like potatoes and carrots.

The 1020 is the model number for the flex head with plastic fingers which came in widths from 15 to 30ft. The 1010 was a ridged head with flat bats offered in sizes from 15 to 30ft. In the cab portion of this video you can see the 1020 decal on the 30ft header looking from the cab window. It is defiantly 30ft.

I just released a John Deere 7720 video yesterday at m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0w51jubA-Fs.html

1660 here

The sales brochure listed 1466. I questioned that reading it. I thought maybe there was a change so I read it the way it was listed.

bigtractorpower wow never heard of that my dads 1480 had a 436 ih maybe they added the 1 when case bought them out love your videos maybe you can make it out to the Texas panhandle for corn harvest some day

The 1 numeration is something I will need to investigate. The DT 466 is one of those all time classic engines. I was surprised to see 1466. I use original sales lit for every video so I can read to facts direct from the manufacture. But that does not mean there is not a typo here and there in a brochure. I used a 1986 1680 spec sheet from Case IH. New company at the time so the Case guys might not of known their IH engines well 😁. I do hope to get to Texas some day.

bigtractorpower well hit me up when your ready i work for a private fertilizer company in the Texas panhandle the company also has farm and ranch land we market all types of fertilizer and think you would like what all we do from making fertilizer to the marketing of anhydrous ammonia and a lot of other types as well also have our of trucking fleet of about 50 over the road trucks
