This blog helps me write http://industrialscenery.blogspot.com/. For example, it contains photo dumps of field trips with some text so that I can search the photos later. It is not intended to be read by others. But if you find photos organized by geography interesting, then enjoy.
Combine tows grain cart It took me a while before I realized that the horrible buzzing sound was the drone. I could not figure out how it worked until the drone finally did a different angle. They added a hopper to the front of the cart to receive the output of the combine's auger and feed an auger they attached to the cart to shove the grain into the cart.
JD's 2016 features are more software than hardware. I wonder if their zerk count is still 40.
Need reaper, binder, and stationary threshers as well.
Manufacturing 35:30: 180 meters of flexible hydraulic tubing
Video: corn going into bin as fast as it can transfer to the wagon? And then a whoops.
1970's IHC video: full truck dumping at an elevator. crossmount concave cylinder and walker vs. axial flow (Moline, IL) testing started in 1965, built prototypes in 1975. Could handle wet crops soon after rains.
Jim Schwartz posted, screenshot from video Got the 660 out and the new head on. Still runs just as good as it did when I put it away last year. [This video is neat because it has closeups of the various belts and pulleys needed to make everything move. I used to spend a lot of time looking at my Grandfather's Massey-Harris pull combine trying to figure out how everything was moved from the PTO shaft. I remember the cylinder was driven rather directly from the shaft with a big belt. Some things had a rather long train of belts and shafts to drive them. One advantage of old equipment is that they didn't have today's safety rules that required everything to be covered up. So it was easy to study how it worked.]
Chase Andrews posted three pictures of two generations of combines working a field with the comment: "my 1972 john Deere 3300 and my grandfather in are 2015 john Deere s670. What a difference on the size and power of the machines these days!"

A video of a 1/3 model of a Case 65 and Avery without covers so you can see some of the guts working.
A video of a 1959 John Deere 95. That model old enough that you can see all the various pulleys on the side of the combine in motion.
posted, JD 45 Mark HeitzmanTill I get a tank full the 9550 has over 400 bushel out of the field The other picture is of the grain. The comments say it looks clean, but I see straw. Grampa's Massey-Harris didn't have any straw.
A video with the covers raised and closeups of the pulleys and belts of a John Deere 9550. (Although I wish she added lights to better see under the covers.) She did add lights when she discussed how to set the adjustments for the various walkers.
Video of remembering binders/steam tractors/cooking/etc. (shocks at -2:26)
Screenshot from video of how combines are made in Grand Island, NE
At -5:32 you can see a walker table (but we saw axle flows being built earlier) working to be inspected before they put the "top" on

[To put in perspective how much the capacity of combines has increased, I think this 16-row combine is putting grain into the bin faster than my Grandfather's pull Massey-Harris combine would empty the bin! 51,153 bushels in 10 hours. 5-6 truckloads per hour. Auto mode adjust speed according to ? ? and ?.]
The Farmer's Life wrote a page comparing his John Deere 1950s 45 and his 2010 9670 STS. The page has videos as well as photos. An image of particular interest:
If I heard the commentary correctly, they got 200 combines in a field to break some record. It is a real shame the commentary was not more informative. For example, what exactly was the record? How big was the field that they were cramming that many combines into? Or maybe they did answer these questions. I had a hard time understanding the accent distorted by a PA system.
