THE WHOPPER CHOPPER | New Holland 1900 

This was a tight 10 acre field. They rolled right through it.

All the truck does is drive. The chopper driver is responsible for keeping it in the truck.

Very cool hat to have. 😁👍👍

No not at all with cordless impacts theses days 30 minutes tops. Disconnect one speed chain put the head stands on or just throw some blocks underneath and tree bolts

I enjoy your videos. I am Whopper Chopper fan. That is how found your channel. There are slight differences between the Sperry and the Ford 1900 as well. I have a 2100 lined up to film. Hopefully that will be filmed in the next few weeks.

@@bigtractorpower Cool man, look forward to it. If you ever need some 1915 footage your welcome to use any of mine.

Thank you for watching.

I like finding the classics at work.

The $100,000 mark was right in line with the cost of a big machine of the day. 4wds and top end combines were preceded in this range. In 1982 tractors like a 370 hp John Deere 8850 was $120,000, a 325 hp Steiger Panther III was $110,000, and a 290 hp Massey Ferguson 4880 was $108,000. The 222 bu. John Deere 8820 combine was $125,000.

The biggest choppers now are over a million

If you take inflation into account, the Holland chopper was probably close to being that expensive back then

You mention that the NH 1900 was superseded by the NH 1915, in 1987 - I recall seeing a NH 1905 in a different video - what year was this introduced ?

Very cool. How many rows does an RI450 bring in?

bigtractorpower well we plant our corn to 15” rows, so we are cutting 10-11 rows at a time. The ri 450 cuts 6 rows. Our 2115 had a horning processor in it as well. Would definitely make you some good content!

I have one video on my page that’s short showing the 2115 cutting corn at night

New Holland was one of the very first companies with a self propelled chopper back in 1961. It was the model SP818. It looked similar to the 1974 1880 shown in the video. Gehl was the first to offer a self propelled chopper in 1958 and Papec followed in 1959. The 1900 in this video was 4th generation of New Holland self propelled chopper following the SP818, 1880, 1890 and 1895. I hope some day to film one of each machine in action to show a complete progression in the harvesting timeline.

New Holland was third to offer a self propelled chopper. Gehl was the first in 1958 and Papec was the second in 1959. Gehl based in Wisconsin stopped offering a self propelled by the end of the 60’s and dropped out of pull type chopper production in 2006 in favor of expanding its construction business. Papec based in Shortsville, NY offered the first pneumatic silo chopper/blower in 1910. Back then you cut the corn and hauled the entire plant to the silo where it was chopped and blown into the silo. Papec offered the first pull type forage harvester and distributed them through John Deere dealers under an agreement until the 1940’s when John Deere started building their own chopper. Papec exited the self propelled chopper market by the late 60’s and stopped building pull type choppers and forage wagons in 1979. You still see a Papec forage wagon in use every once in a great while.

@@bigtractorpower Thanks for replying and very impressed with your knowledge so when me and my brother take a break he would like to know all of what you replied. We have a Claas Chopper and they must have joined the market in the later part of 20th Century I presume? The new Claas choppers and Combines are nice but they price us out so we are probably going to have to change machines!

😁👍👍

Yes. The 2100 came out for 1980 and the 1900 in 1982. I scanned in the The Whopper Choppers logo for this video from the 2100/1900 sales literature. New Holland lists them both as Whopper Choppers in the brochure as well as the pull type 1600.

I left the snapper and haybine heads out of this video but I do hope to get to film each in action some say.

Thank you for watching.

Very cool.

Good to hear some guys are still running them. We have a 1915 also.

😁👍👍

Thank you for watching.

He is actually filming porn during July & August...

actually it hurt to write this

I did observe the door being open.

Thank you for watching.

Very cool. The 2100 and 2115 are impressive. I hope to get to film each one for BTP.

Very very cool.

😁👍👍

bigtractorpower Would you like to get a video of a Sperry new Holland TR 70 I noticed you don’t have one on RU-vid yet if you come around in September that’s about when being harvested for us

If they’re dumping in a bunker, the truck is faster.

Also depends on distance from fields to farm yard.

Smack yourself

I talk about this a little in the middle of the video. The 2100 and 1900 were significantly larger than previous New Holland chopper and their competitors in the early 1980’s.

Actually it was a black thing sorry you wouldn't understand

Hello. Thank you for watching.
