The First INTERNATIONAL 1460 Axial-Flow Combine Produced 

Wow what a great history. Thank you for sharing. The 1460 is a land mark machine. A big difference from the 503 and 915.

@@bigtractorpower The first IH Combines I worked on were the 403/503 machines. Then I progressed to the entire 15 series machines as a combine repair specialists and finished up working on 2388's and Cotton Pickers when I retired. Then Case IH hired me back as a Pro Harvest specialist the first couple of years working on both combines and cotton pickers and then the next 23 years with Cotton division all over the world. My last time working on combines was at the Grand Island factory on 8020's about 15 years ago.

@@LMDProductionsOfficial hi ☺

Thank you for watching. My long term hope is to do a full time video of the changes from 1977 to 2019. They are solid machines.

@@WelkerFarms hi nick

We had the same one 35 years. Only combine I've ever been around.

They both worked and do a damn good job..

You could farm with either and you’d do just fine. Combines are great, but the real money is made with planters. International was light years ahead. They had very good MFWD tractors all the way back in the 1970’s. I’m all green and yellow now, because if my head has to go spinning to figure our The Who, what where when and why with my equipment (AGCO), then I have no use for it. Major hat tip to the old IH stuff though. It was the best.

2366 but yes.

IH engines has a great and distinct sound. Growing up a farm by my parents house had two IH Load Star trucks. I always knew it was time to chop silage or harvest grain when I heard their IH engines for off in the distance rolling down the road.

Thank you for watching it’s always exciting to track down these classics

Very cool. What crops did you harvest with your 1480? I hope to find a 1480 to film some time.

bigtractorpower Corn and soybeans in southeast MN. Unfortunately time got the best of it, but it was the king at one time! We also used to have a 4366, so I can relive some of that through your 4786.

Wow nice IH line up. I hope to locate a 4366 to film at some point. Was your 4366 a red or a white cab?

bigtractorpower it has a white roof, but the rest of the cab was red. I hope to at least partially restore one someday. I know the early ones had some transmission issues, as ours did. If I get my hands on one you’ll be one of the first to know!

It was neat to be able to see the first 1460 and tie in some others I had filmed.

Very nice. I like 1460s. I got to film a 1420 this weekend.

Thank you for watching.

They are good machines.

Thank you for watching. It neat to have a viewer in Brazil.

😁👍👍

Very cool. Is it a Case International?

Yes it is with the red cab and silver rims

Wow. A testament to their durability!

The IH DT engines have a distinct sound.

It is a good book. I wish there was a way to show that experimental history on video.

@@bigtractorpower there's a few tapes rolling around of it.

Thank you for watching.

Indigestion. That’s funny

Oil seed rape was a nightmare when it's wasn't swathed into rows ..

We went from a 915 to New Holland TR's, soybean seed business, cracked way less beans. Went back to IH in 1983, currently in a 2588... In the late 80's we put the rice rotors in them, hybridized them, solved the "green indigestion" issues....

Deere also took the "study the competition before they release it" route too.

@@J-1410, that, too. I just omitted some of the actual details, to keep from writing a "book," but in most products made by Deere, since the mid-1960's, it just seemed like Deere was not trying to be much of a innovator and trail blazer, yet, by just staying longer with the tried and true, while even learning from the mistakes and victories of their competition, Deere and Co. was able to stay ahead in the market. There's even more than that, but "tried and true," as well endless R&D, has made Deere a leader in its own rites, even if just not the first with a this or that product. One thing is for sure... Contrary to popular belief and myth, as well as endless jokes, John Deere NEVER "copied" the rotary design. Most farmers are not historians, period. If they were, then they'd realize that not only are Deere's [and others'] stories about rotary threshing and separation experiments, dating back to the late 1950's TRUE, but even before Deere had their very first combine [1927] or that New Holland even existed, rotary threshing was HERE! Yes, there were some stationary thresher-separators that were ROTARY, too. It's just that it takes more power to run a pair or even a single rotor, than the tangential cylinder. Bear in mind, until only 1970-1979, the 100+ Hp COMBINE, just did not exist!

@@combinelover8988 Baldwin Brothers ruin one part of that(US1949774A for example) they actually did build a SP version of that but it was unsuccessful as there wasn't an engine, in a reasonable size, that was powerful enough to run it. Otherwise I am one of those rare "farmer historians" and is the reason why I run what I run. I also find Deere overrated because of it, and wonder about their thinking sometimes(such as the "thank God AC is gone" letter which I have seen from a local dealer) Allis let the patents on Axial flow threshers run out as the transverse design was more efficient.(which is a reason why only one company(or two if you count the JV) put one into production) Also the first SP combine(29) was from one of their companies, and even then it was sold as simple, just like today. Allis experimented with them from the time when they bought Gleaner to the end, thus the largest combine(capacity) until the late 90s, still with the cleanest sample, which has been tested by multiple organizations(such as PAMI) Deere did buy and later admit that they bought and "took inspiration" from an IHC test combine in 1976(?) and I find it extremely odd that they were "Never Rotary" until the patents ran out. White could have went somewhere if they had dealers. Deere commented "Rotor is definitely big enough" Even Versatile was playing around with rotaries. Deere survived because they hibernated in the 80's, they didn't do much, rented out factory space and, in one way, took a pessimistic look at the future.

@@J-1410, that is all true. Again, I cannot write a book on here, but only highlight a few of history's finer moments. Yes, on the rotary Gleaner, from back in the early 50's, but as you said, just NOT enough engine Hp, thus reiterating a prior comment of mine, about rotors needing more power. think, it's not only to turn the drum, but to counter the gyro as well, as the combine will turn corners and even move in a line, opposite of initial travel. Deere NEVER said they "would never build a rotary..." They simply told the world, they would only build one when they felt they could perfect it, and also when they were ready to. The latter was dictated more by customer and market demand. I know professional custom harvesters, who used to run a mixed fleet, previously unheard of, before, in the CH community. The reason was for faster, more efficient harvesting [rotaries], while also catering to the farmers still either just skeptical of the rotaries, or simply wanting the spent straw for baling. This was the period of 1981-1995+.

And Deere bought a Axial Flow test combine...

J. A. G. They just about all had a play around with it back in the day.

@@interman7715 as in before the release of it, the farmer violated the contract selling it to deere.

Very interesting. I did not know about the 4088. It looks just like the 1480 with a modem cab. Thank you for telling me about it. I looked it up at www.caseih.com/emea/en-africa/News/Pages/Axial-Flow-4088-combine-put-to-the-test-in-tough-African-conditions.aspx

Thank you. Very cool to have a viewer from Romania.

In their day they were highly advanced. Still solid machines.

bigtractorpower i know they were my brother used them..

I wish I knew. I try to make informative videos on all brands and time periods.

Very nice.

That is very cool to know. Thank you for sharing.

Greetings Sale me one

Just as I wonder how it would have been if Ford didn't sell out to New Holland, lol

IH was bankrupt. So, it would have been very different indeed. I doubt Case was going to survive the next 5-6 years either under Teneco's leadership so who knows, maybe they both would have ended up in AGCO like 3/4 of everything else haha.

@@jankotze1959 haha yea..

I wonder what it would have been like if case haven’t joined David Brown 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@@jankotze1959 Yup i'm a Blue Oval guy (farm stuff, trucks, cars) but it was a very distinct down hill slope in quality and longevity. i've spent less money on my Super 'Q' than my T6's (plus ya dont need a laptop)

Andrew Waltz Half century progress show that’s why.

👍🇺🇸

Indeed it was, we had 13 Inter tractors plus trucks and even the ride on mower was an Inter.

@@interman7715 I hope you still have some of the gear stored safely away mate, it would be a real treasure. Good on you.

Buzzbox3rd We sold out years ago when you didn't get much for it ,damn shame all our gear was always shedded and maintained well .

Well back in the 30s the Baldwins patented the rotary idea and first designs

J. A. G. Well whoopy do .

I have the 1470 sales literature. Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to film a 1470 to share here on RU-vid. Maybe some day I will.

@@bigtractorpower I know 1470`s are primarily used in the Pacific Northwest. We still use one for the really steep slopes.

Used to be several 1470 in york county ne. The IH dealer bought a bunch of them and removed the hillside eqiupment from the combines. Sold the stuff to other dealers in hillier ground.

​@@farmallfan1466 The Rahco hillside undercarriage was the best on the market. We still run a 1982 1470 we did update to a 1010 header and hydro trim on the feeder house. It makes the header follow the slope changes very well. Plus we can operate the header trim going trough draws. There was a shop that purchased a 2166 and took the undercarriage off a 1470 and made a really nice machine. We still also have a John Deere 95H that uses the Rahco undercarriage. It was a big change going from 95H with no cab to a 1470.

Very nice. Like the 7088. I have filmed a 6088 and hope to catch a 7088 some day.

Interesting. I did not know it was for sale.

peter james not enough water or planted to late

Yeah i think Jason and Mike had said that dry conditions plus they had to terminate the crops early (late planted due to weather) to have it usable for the show.

👍👍

It was doing a good job. The 815 in this video is a 1977 model with 1,200 original hours.

Beans are a fragile crop. It is easy to shell the beans out of the pod with the header and knock them out on the field. That is why they run a little slower than corn and wheat.

What type of conditions? I always found the 7720 and 1460 to be a good match. The 7720 is great for straw production and the 1460 stronger in corn.

John Deere has corn and soybean specials and Rice combines. I have lots of brochures on them.

That was a bit misleading - the differences were in the design of the concaves and the rasp bars used on the rotor, they were multipurpose machines. In the late 80's we (midwest soybean/corn/wheat farmer) started hybridizing them, using a rice rotor in the "corn" machine, it would handle green weeds (this was before roundup!!!) and tougher soybean cutting conditions...

4 gauge My cousin had one of the first IHC 1460s and it harvested everything. This video is misleading.

@@interman7715 You'll have to take that up with B.T.P.,I'm not the one that made the video,just an observer.

No they wouldn't. Talk sense.

😁🇺🇸

Democraps 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@jfdb59 Go fuck yourself basement dweller

You know the difference in a rep. and a dem., not a damn thing.

This was just a Field demonstration. The beans are more of a prop for the combine to knock down then to produce a yield
