The New Holland Combine “Walk Around” with Jim / Day 42 - 2021 Wheat Harvest / July 24 

Jim asked me to be sure to let you know that when he’s explaining the rotors and concaves, he was wrong about the diameter of the rotors. The small frame combines have 17” diameters and the large frame combines have 22”.

Great shot with Jim and flag behind him blowing in wind. The all American farmer.

Tracy and Jim, sure do miss seeing your videos and following along with you guys. I know it’s very dry and yields are horrible - I farm in Southern Sask, so our fields are discouraging too. Tracy, I appreciated your talk asking for prayer for all the farmers and all related jobs. This drought fits In with all the political and social media unrest and Covid turmoil of this last year or two. In the Bible, Job feared God and shunned evil. He Loved God and So God put a hedge of protection around him and Also blessed the work of his hand. We all should pray and seek the Lord and steer our counties by choosing God-fearing leaders and rekindle our country’s Faith and maybe Our Heavenly Father will shower blessings of rejuvenating rain and success to our lands once again. I trust the He will provide for all your needs and may He bring good fields for you to harvest. Keep up the great videos. They are wonderful to watch. I look forward to many more Good mornings From Tracy. That’s a great combine Jim !! Good choice. And It’s so nice to see your family too. My wife and I have a Callie also. Praying for God’s hand of blessing on you both., Lyndon J

i have been around combines all my life also, but still found jim s walk around both interesting and informative, thank you, we continue to pray that the phone rings with more work!!!!! see ya tomorrow!!!!

My wife really enjoyed this explanation. Thanks.

with your videos I improve my English and learn about harvesters. Thank you Tracy and Jim. ""saludos" from Argentina.

Great video Jim and Tracy

Awesome walk around Jim

Thank Jim and Tracey, that was very interesting. 👍👍

Jim, Thank you so much for a detailed explanation of how the combine operates. My family are dairy farmers, but I was never around durning harvest season. Take care, and praying for more fields coming your way.🙋‍♂️

Thank you Jim for showing us over the new modern combine and i am sure it will be nice and clean when you finish catch you both in in the next video

A great explanation for new viewers and curious people. New Holland makes an excellent combine.

Enjoyed your combine tour, even though I been running New Holland for 40 years. I always enjoy watching your videos. I’m like you, I’m not a mechanic or a engineer. I just service it and do simple maintenance things. And according to the literature the 8.9 had a 410 bushel tank but we all know you can’t ever get what they claim in them in field conditions. It weighs 42,300 lbs without head or chopper. So put on a chopper, and a header and 340 gallons of fuel and 400 bushels of grain and you got a big boat anchor to move.

Tell Jim I very much enjoyed the walk around. He said at start he was coerced into it. I think he enjoyed it as he explained it in much detail. Good job Jim!

We continue to pray for you guys to have some work. Take care and God Bless. 😎👍👌

Great job Jim you did a great job of explain how it works.A lot of your viewers never knew all the interesting points you where showing them

No better way to get a threshing machine tour than to ask the man who owns one. Very nice. Thanks, Jim!

Very good tour of your combine. You are right that the basic principle of a combine has not change that much through the year. It just that the manufacturer of combines have made the combine more efficient and the compacity of the combine has increased. You rock Jim and Tracy.

It's amazing how the grain flow is the same as on even the old TR70s.

Awesome explanation of the machine. Thanks Jim and Tracey for your hard work. I keep praying for all farmers and harvesting crews to find work. Jerome

Jim you are doing a fantastic job explaining the basics of the combine . I've enjoyed your videos and your family that you have shared with us all. Thank you both for your time and energy on this time in your life. Field in Michigan

Just a man with a combine he is more than just a man with a combine he can fix it to. He also explained how the combine worked very well that is the first time I have seen the inside of the 8.90 it looks impressive. Thanks Jim for explaining how it works. I do all of the fixing on my combine but if I cannot do it then I have to get the new holland dealer in to fix it. All the best hope that phone rings soon 👍

Great tour of the combine for us farmers who don’t use a combine. Jim reminds me of my Dad. Quiet and reserved but when you get him talking about something he really knows he just gets rolling.

I enjoyed Jim's walk around he did a great job of explaining how the machine worked so most anyone could understand it. And for old guys like me it undated us.

Did work on a farm in the 70s thing have changed a lot thank jim i am going to watch it again

Tracy and Jim you did a good job. Regards from Leonberg Germany 👍😘😘

Jim, you are a legend

Merci pour cette belle présentation de votre belle CR . Amitié et bravo a vous deux pour votre grand courage

Jim did a nice job. Not being totally clean gives you a better idea of what process is taking place at a given location. It's amazing how much is still belt driven, hydraulics can do a lot of things, but belts seem to make variable speeds more precisely controllable. Some things haven't changed much since my Dads' John Deere 55 was in the field. Electronics and hydraulics do make a difference. Thanks, from a wannabe farmer, who is grateful that folks like you and the landowners take the risks of good years and bad. I hope you can get some more acres.

Thanks for the walk around. My dad (he passed away in 1952) had a John Deere 12A combine and I recognize the same features in your modern combine. Of course you have a little bigger power unit than the crank start John Deere LU power unit that my dad's combine had, and nearly three times the header width of the old 12A. I can't even imagine using that old 12A to harvest the number of acres you harvest!

Loved the explanation of the combine and all it’s working parts. You two obviously love what you do. You couldn’t get a man to talk that much unless he loves what he does. Your family is wonderful. Watch all the time.

That’s a man that’s passionate about his business and knows what he’s talking about!!

Good afternoon Jim and Tracey! Jim, you did a wonderful job explaining the combine - thank you, thank you, thank you for taking time to explain ❤️ wishing you both a great Sunday 😊😊😊

Jim you did a very good job taking about the combine and i will say being a jd combine driver you have a darn good outfit .thanks again for the tour and thanks Tracey for the video work. Sam

Thank you, Jim. That was one of the best explanations of how it all works.

Thanks Jim for the tour of the combine. It's nice to know how things work.

Jim did a great job. Thank You.

Love the Video thanks Jim for the tour of the comlbine. Very interesting. Thank you to you both be safe you two and God bless 🌼🌹🍡💙🌼🌹🍡💙🙏😉🌹🌹

Great job Jim explaining the workings of a combine. Take care.

Thanks Jim I really enjoyed the walk around the combined. I've been around small pull type and small self-propelled combines but I thoroughly enjoyed the walk around the big combine. I love your videos Jim & Tracey, I'm praying for you to get work to keep harvesting. Thanks Jim & Tracey

You do a great job Jim. Thanks

"I'm just a guy with a combine..." Spoken like a true gentleman. New HOLLAND could use this video to train first time buyers/mechanics!

Very well done Jim, enjoyed the combine walk around. Keep up the good work and I hope you get more jobs to do in this difficult year. Folks like yal are huge part of what keep this country going

I’m watching this on July 25th , Sunday.

Hi Jim and Tracy, I enjoyed your tour of your 'header and Header Front' as some of us still call them. I hope that you are both well and will soon pick up some more work to continue the 2021 season.

Excellent tour of combine basics. Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of New Holland combine. I am always impressed how companies like New Holland have integrated so much technology into the operators cab. Great job. Keep up the great work!!!

We harvested wheat yesterday for our antique tractor show with a 10 foot wide McCormick Deering binder. It cut the wheat, tied it into bundles and kicked them out the side to be picked up by a bunch of people and put on flat wagons. Most of the wheat harvest is done in upstate New York state,and what I'm hearing is most of it sprouted.

Great tour Jim gave us!

Well done Jim, thanks mate 🇦🇺👍

Could tell Jim was a little hesitant at the start but he sure got into it ,great video thank you

Great job Jim. Thanks Tracy for convincing him to talk about the combine. Really enjoy your videos.

We sure miss your videos and have been praying for you both.

Great video, hope to see new on soon. Praying for y'all.

I like Jim, (you also Tracy ! ) , a very informative video, I have been following you guys from day one, It would be a pleasure working with you, great honest work .

Really,Really Enjoyed Jimmy’s information !! Perfect 👍🏻!

Jim and Tracy, That was an excellent tour of You Combine. Explained so well that even Grandma could understand it. And as always really enjoy following You. Mike

Good talk Jim the wind is fine it's part of the prairie. Makes it authentic

Fantastic video Jim. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the workings of your mighty fine combine. Today’s electronic technology in farm equipment is simply amazing compared to the equipment I grew up with in the sixties. I thoroughly enjoy the daily videos. Thank you! Doug Baird

Thank you Tracy and Jim for a great tour of the combine, amazing video and Jim is just great explaining, how and what things are called and how it works, thank you for a great video 😀😀👍😘

Great video nice to see the combine up close and personal. That’s one sweet machine with all the adjustments at your fingertips. I really like the inspection door for the sieves and the rethresing system for the return

I really enjoyed the Combine Tour Jim much appreciated and hope you find work very soon,all the best.

Well done Jim, having also been around combines for 40+ yrs my knowledge is about the same, nothing to add, nothing to take away.

All I have been around are the “green” specimens. I appreciated a closer look and explanation of the New Holland. Great video.

The same basic principles used in the stationary threshing machines since the late 1700s. The crop was cut and hauled to the machine for threshing.Then technology advanced and the two operations were combined with the thresher moving thru the field, and they called it a "combine harvester". The first commercially marketed combines were sold in the late 1800s .

Thank You very much I and probably most really appreciated the time you took, any time that you both take to share your adventures are truly educational

WOW Jim! Tracy put you on the spot to give us a tour of the inner workings of the combine and you probably have not looked at the specs and all the details to be more accurate for quite some time. So, a very good job on giving us the tour and a general sense of the speed that some things move through the combine while other areas run at another speed and of course the use of air to separate things. Combines are interesting at how so much has been crammed into a relatively small area (threshing, gathering and winnowing). Of course, the header is not so small but it does the reaping or cutting of the crop and conveys it to the center and into the combine and that header on your IH is really "sweet". I remember Tracy in an earlier video pulling some good sized rocks out of the rock trap or pan. I would have liked to have seen where that was located. Kind of an important process because some of those rocks Tracy pulled out could have really been destructive if they had gotten further along with the process. The other things about today's combines is that they can be changed over to cut various crops by changing the header and the sieves and doing some adjustments they can move from wheat or barley to sunflower seeds to corn, etc. Pretty amazing and versatile and that IH seems to very efficient on grain recovery. Of course, and expensive too! I hope all your subscribers along with me will continue to say prayers for you two to have some further work come along to help you out. Again, Jim, nice tour and Tracy, nice filming!

Thanks jim I always wondered how those monsters worked great job

Thanks to both of you explaining stuff on the combine. I have a better knowledge of how it works now. Fascinating that it works. Hoping you'll get a lot more harvesting to do later on.

Thanks, Jim. Have a safe day.

Thanks Jim and Tracy Great video

Great Video to show people the basics..keeping it simple. And yes I've always been amazed that they still use the same concept as the first threshing machine.

Excellent Jim !!

Thanks for the walk-through found it very interesting and educational. Enjoy how Jim talks in an honest and humble manner ; another quality I appreciate about the two of you

First of all, a heartfelt thank you from the bottom of my heart for the excellent time and guidance on the combine! No need for an engineer or mechanic! Enough person to operate and handle a combine that knows it from all sides and can convey a detailed and accurate explanation of this complex tool! And once again thank you so much and good luck later in the season!

jim did very good! Awsome description Thanks

Next time you are in an area that has an old thresher on display you should do a comparison of the new to old.

Good basic overview. Good job Jim!

That was very, very interesting and Jim did a great job of explaining! Thanks to both of you!!

Good job Jim!

Great job Jim! Thank you both for the video !

Enjoyed Jim's tour , well explained , memories , stay safe , enjoy ! The two of you are the very best !!!!

Thank you Jim for the class on the Combine , have hauled them down the highway , thank you for the video and plz be safe

Good overview for people like me that know very little aboit a combine.. Hope you find more jobs. Enjoyed watching this year, your my kind of people.

Such a superb explanation of the combine. Jim has a though knowledge of the combine.I cannot express the knowledge that Jim put into the Explanation of the machine, you and Jim do a great job. Really enjoy the way you and Jim report on your job as operators of the process of being Custom Operators os the harvesting world. Will be looking for the next video in the future. Prayers for you and Jim in finding a job to go to as soon as possible..cya

Great video Jim! Thanks for doing that! You did a great job!

That was a awesome job I farm with my Dad in northern Ab great review of the New Holland and remember if it’s red leave it in the shed

Great tour Jim it was well done.

Great job Jim I was raised around threshing machine

thank you for the combine tour. I worked with combines when they had cylinder thrashing and straw walker separation. I know very little about the rotary combines. The term "combine: was a mystery until I subscribed to Iron Age magazine and then I found out that combine is the short version of "combined Harvester".

Thanks Jim!!

Jim , you did a great job . We had red combines forever , second year the rotor came out we had one . I was always told that they were like the old time corn shellers . Great job on the tutorial !

Thank you so much!! Jim you did an awesome job explaining everything, so interesting- what a machine!! The combine looks like a bearing, belt and chain manufacturers dream come true! Thanks again!!!!

Thank You 😊!! Very Interesting !! Outstanding !!!! Perfect 👍🏻 !! Plenty !!

another great video jim did a great job i hope you are able to find work good bless you

Excellent review on the big Holland Jim really enjoyed learning the way she runs awsome machine cheers fr Winnipeg MB

Jim, you should be working for CNH!! Well done!!

Thanks for doing this Jim! Love hearing about the machines from the owner/operator perspective.

Regards from Argentina!!! I Follow you !!!

Thanks Jim!
