All-Crop Video

Great video. My only thing and it's personal preference, would be to lose the music. The tractor and combine are the sweetest music. Thanks for posting.

I agree on the music........unless it's Old Watasha or the Hag.  Nice setup. I wish I'd taken better videos of our operation when for a few years I was using my brother's super nice Big Bin 66. Only video I have is of us trying to combine lodged oats that had been swathed. I had to pitch with a fork quite a bit of it and it seems by wife only videoed those parts.

Dennis,  I loved the video.  Was really impressed with the ease you harvested the grain.  Great sounds.  I could even smell the straw and grain as it worked. 
Were you pulling it with a D-17.  I did not get a good look at the tractor.  You surely had enough power for the job.  I remember pulling them with an F-20.  We loved it cause it was so slow you never had a problem with clogging. 
Was interested in the six bat reel and tandem wheels. 
Thank you so much for sharing.
Good Luck!

ps:  We just had a short snow here in Maryland and seeing the 60 working brought back such good memories of when we used them in the field.  When there was a clog since I was the smallest I was the one who went inside to clean it out.  The driver could never find a tree to park under.  Really hot in the separator compartment.

I thought it was pretty cool. First time I'd seen an all crop operate as well as the first field of rye I had ever seen. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice, Dennis.

I do not have documented knowledge but it is possible to me that the 6 bat reel was an option like the tandem wheels.  I looked at it carefully and did not see anything that looked after market.
Good Luck!

I believe it was an optional feature.

Yes I'm running the tractor. I was afraid that the video was to long, but most you see are very slow.

The 6 bat reel was an option just like the duals, Scour-Kleen & the auger extension.

   Thanks for posting Dennis , Ryan texted me to make sure that I had seen it . Now , when it warms up , one of the farms original 66s will getting ready to be put back to use . It is one of the ones that I grew up on . I am envious of your auger extension though , got to make one of those, sure would make life easier .
