oh yeah, #OldSchool

@TheChadColby I had no up and down on the hydro when I started. It was a lot of back and forth with your hand. We sure thought we had something when dad bought that.

@Higgypete yeah we had one also!

@TheChadColby Had to put the 1688 in to finish the last 10 acres of corn. This 1480 is the one I learned in. My family ran 3 of them in wheat growing up. Good times! 6000 hours and it all still works. 2000 on newer 6088s and harnesses go to crap.

@farmerjim13 yeah our first 1440 went to 3500 hrs, before we traded if off on 1460 (first @Case_IH model) , great machines indeed.

@TheChadColby Ready for liftoff.

@TheChadColby Just think if they made new ones that easy to use …with high capacity

@TheChadColby It’s red……🤨

@TheChadColby Spent a lot of hours in my grandpas and then dads 1480. I always got to pull the unloading auger lever by the buddy seat

@TheChadColby 1460…. I spent two summers following around a 1680. Neighbor hired me for wheat harvest. They were Two brothers that cared for their land and equipment like family. Best summers ever.

@TheChadColby Very nice love it! 👍

@TheChadColby Would you like to go back in time and buy some 1480s?

@TheChadColby 🤣 junk then, junk now

@TheChadColby Combined lots of acres in a 1460.

@TheChadColby #redpower

@TheChadColby Love them IH combines

@TheChadColby Good ol’ days. Seems like yesterday

@TheChadColby Just sold my 1620 last week very similar

@TheChadColby Oh yes. It was sure nice when they moved to electric over hydraulic for the header height. We had a 79 that was levers and an 81 that was the switch. We ran those two 1480s until we traded then for one 1688. Then ended up picking up a two year old 1680 to be back to two.

@TheChadColby All summer doing wheat and some oats back in 1989 in a 1460
