The second last series of John Deere pull types was the 7721 I'm running. Late 80s model. My 1660 IH combine is down with major oil leak so I'm using the pull type behind the 7130 magnum tractor. Not as handy as the self propelled but boy does it have capacity.

7721 combine
 
Great harvest video. I have had direct cut self propelled combine as well as my MF 851 pull type, and harvesting small grain with the pull type using a pickup from swathed windrows was my favourite. As you pointed out, you can stay much farther away from the dust and dirt
 
Great video! First I've seen a 7721 in action. We had a 96 for a time...

Didn't realize the 7721 had a monitor with a cylinder tach in the cab.
 
Thanks for the pic. I haven't seen anything like that in my hood.
In the mid 50 my dad bought a JD combine, I think it was a JD45.
Back then some guys called a combine a self propelled picker/sheller.
Pull type combines went out of fashion then.
 
Back in the 50's, and 60's and even the 70's, there were a lot of pull types in our community.
Mostly AC All with a few Deeres.
I spent a lot of time on a 49 JD A pulling a All Crop 72.

(quoted from post at 05:57:50 09/12/21) Is a pull type less likely to catch fire than self propelled?

Pull types slightly less likely to start on fire as they have no engine but there is still the risk of a hot bearing starting the chaff or straw on fire. I came close with this one when doing flax a few years ago. Flax straw wrapped on a shaft above the cylinder until it formed a round bale rubbing against the inside of the combine body. Got so hot it made smoke and burned the paint off the outside. Just lucky. Another reason I no longer grow flax.
