Great job Josh! I still miss our 8820, they are great machines!

Awesome video and nice find. I grew up drooling over the Titans...seeing them displayed at Monroe county fair and empire farm days in WNY. We owned a 6620 Turbo at one point, now have 9500&9550. I love seeing videos of the classics working and you’re right, this one looks really good with those huge floaters on it.

It's going a lot faster than 1.3mph. Everyone turned the power up on those combines back then making well over 300hp. We had a topper on ours that was bigger than that one. It went to the far edges of the bin not sitting a couple feet from the edge like this one. It supposedly held over 300 but it really only held 290 bu before it became cab corn. Those tip tops would also prematurely wear out the upright auger very quickly pushing the grain up. Also the gear box went out every 2 seasons.
The limiting factor on these combines wasn't power at all but the clean grain elevator couldn't handle the amount of clean grain the combine could produce. Needed to be a good bit bigger. It could eat up some wheat. Corn was limited to that elevator capacity

I used to run one tooth and a 6620 and I love them

The 9610 was the biggest combine in 1998 and 1999. The John Deere 9600 combine was the last year in 1997

I love those big ol chunky boys on the front of the 8820 👍🏻

The 8820 is running at about 3-4 miles per hour from the looks of the video. He could probably go faster if he wanted to. I've seen a video with an 8820 going 6 mph in 200+ bushel corn theoretically at about 2900 bu/hr. Just gotta be careful not to plug the clean grain elevator!

I love that 8820! It sure is a monster. What were some of the yields there? Awesome find and awesome video

[truthandfreedom]

With my 88 20 Titan to combine I could average 3.2 mph with a 12 row 22 in corn head and 165 bushel corn. I might have been able to go faster but there's just so much corn coming up the clean grain that it was afraid of plugging it up

I learned to operate a combine with a 6600 .

1.6MPH seems kinda slow even in 200 bushel corn.

[scottjaecques]

There was actually 2 built with the 12 row lift cylinders 1 In Canada and 1 in the US

[frankyoung]

Had a 8820 turbo lost it to a combine fire Would run 4 +mph in 200 +bu corn with 6 row head

[ralphllivrah]

I really think this is what put Massey Ferguson under.

[scottjaecques]

I know that because I had the one in the US went to get seal kits for lift and John Deere dealer couldn't figure out why it had bigger cylinders so they ran the serial # and he showed me where it said that and no seal kits available so we had to go to salvage yard and buy a pair of another 8820
