Grandpa bought a used 4400 in 79. Dad used it after grandpa died in 82. Dad died Sept 2021 & I was using it and it broke. Summer of 2022 I went to a farm auction & got a turbo 6620. Last year I got a 6 row head. Wow. I greatly enjoy it. I have had minimal problems with it. I did figure out what is broken on the 4400, & will fix it this summer. As I farm alone, it's handy to have a working spare machine ready to go.

@LocustMotorWorks 2 месяца назад

That'd be cool to get the 4400 up and going this summer. So cool that it has been passed down to you. Thanks for watching

Our family ran a 7720 Turbo for about 16 years. It was a major upgrade from an old 6600 diesel, and just a couple years later we switched from 38 inch four row corn to a 30 inch 6 row planter and corn head to match. I never learned to run the combine since I was busy pulling wagons and filling the grain bin, but I did spend time riding along with my father and grandfather in the combine. When I rode along I got to swing the unloading auger out and turn it on since I was sitting on that side anyway. It sure was neat seeing that big auger swing out compared to the manual auger on the 6600. My dad had one of the seats from either a combine or a sound guard cab tractor mounted on office chair wheels in his office (I really wish I could find one of those). Near the end the 7720 was taking a lot of repair time, and when it broke down during soybean harvest we rented a John Deere 9500. Dad liked the 9500 so much we bought it as the replacement and the 7720 went down the road. Thanks for the video and I am looking forward to one on the Maximizer combines.

Sounds like good memories in those combines. Thanks for watching!

@chrisanderson6837 2 месяца назад

We got one in 83. The first 4wheel drive anywhere in our area in any brand. It was like a hover craft in wet corn ground. Such a good machine. Just a few structural weak points after years of hard labour.

@user-on6qy7wy5k 2 месяца назад

Our 7720 was the quietest combine ever. You had to be close to hear it. So well balanced…

@justinschmitz8034 Месяц назад

Really excellent video, one thing I noticed you didn't go over was the experimental bean head that John Deere was doing testing on in the early 80s. My Grandpa participated in the program, I always thought it was cool seeing a corn head harvest beans.

Love this video...I've been looking forward to it. Never understood the odd row number heads...like the 5 row corn and 7 row bean heads?? I was born in 1979 and growing up through the 80's, absolutely LOVED all the Titan combines...a nice conditioned one still gets me excited to this day. A movie to mention from 1987 is Race Against the Harvest that featured 3 beautiful John Deere 8820 Titan ll combines. Whoever Deere had for design engineers in the mid 1970s when they developed this combine were brilliant, IMO. They were such a sleek design...I was always disappointed they kept the ugly box cab on the 4420. My father owned a 1979 4400, then we got a 6620 Turbo 🥰

@matthewkabanuk443 2 месяца назад

Odd row heads seem to have been targeted for cotton growers or bedders which is why primarily wide row spacings (36, 38, sometimes 40") were available, and few examples exist. Massey Ferguson even had a 7 row corn head alongside their 6 and 8 row heads, but it didn't last too long. I've read that there have been guys who would operate a 546 5 row 36/38" corn head on a 4420 with zero axle adjustments to make it row crop capable before it was popular. Keep in mind that these "bean heads" were also used to harvest sorghum (milo), sunflowers, and millet, so there was definitely harvesting opportunities a row crop head opened up; especially when growing bedded crops.

Aquí en México el maíz se siembra a 30... Entonces, por ejemplo en un cabezal 444 de 4 hileras a 40 se podían juntar a 30, de este modo podías meter un surco más y era así como tenías un cabezal de 5 hileras. Lo mismo pasaba en los de 6 surcos... Los juntabas a 30 y podías meter un surco extra y tenias un cabezal de 7 surcos... Respecto a la película yo también la vi cuando era niño y me encantaba verla también por ver las 8820

We ran a 6620 for several years. It was a really good combine. It was kinda of hard to work on but other than that, a very solid combine.

@GermanShepherd1983 2 месяца назад

In 1979, when the first Titan's came out, they were still cylinder machines while New Holland and IH were embracing the future by building rotary combines. The world had passed JD by and yet JD stubbornly stuck to the idea of cylinders when it was obvious this was obsolete technology.

@ramshackleshack751 2 месяца назад

The only nice thing about a walker combine is it doesn't beat the hell out of the straw if you want to bale it. Otherwise rotary is far better.

Enjoying JD combine series as only seen 1100, Titan n 9500 n 9600 in our district, at the time in 79 many Aussie whest farmers were still using pull type combines following tough years not much had change until 2000. Pa had brought MF SP 3342 it was first combine with cab in district it had 18ft header.

@shortytari 2 месяца назад

Yea he has his years wrong on the 4400-4420. They made the 4400 one extra year. A true 4420 didn’t come out until 1980. The 79 was a mixed machine it had some features of the 20 series but not all. We used to have one. In fact a lot of the part numbers were 20 series part numbers, but most parts were identical to the 00 series.

Outstanding informative vid! I have to correct you on the feederhouse reverser being standard. I had a 7720 Titan2 that didn't have it. Got a jobber thing that clamped around the auger and you manually unplugged feederhouse with a bar.

@matthewkabanuk443 2 месяца назад

Yeah they were standard on Corn/Soybean combines plus rice combines. Not available on Grain combines. Seems he missed that note. It become an option on the SideHill 6620 and Grain combines for 1984.

@379insk 2 месяца назад

@matthewkabanuk443 As somebody that has manualy unplugged many feederhouses it should have been standard on everything. At least Massey suppled a wrench for manual unplugging.

@@379insk Ok thanks for the insight into the feeder house. Seems you had a Grain model; (reverser optional) with the Posi-Torq drive package of 145 hp. Somebody went bares bones lol. In that case it must have been the 9000 Maximizers which brought reversers across the whole board regardless of harvesting spec.

We had a 8820! I miss it! We had a company put the straw chopper blades with a crank handle in cab to flip it up or down, used it for canola, grain. I know it had the grain loss monitor, but i wonder if it was the final year model or not, also the later JD titans should've been a green cab cap, not yellow? Ours was yellow.
