This weekend we got out our John Deere 105 Corn Special to finish up the 2020 corn harvest. Back in early April we planted about 20 acres of 38" row corn for our show, 100 Years of HorsePOWER. Due to COVID we had to cancel our show, but still had to harvest this corn. After a little head adjustment, the 105 did an excellent job and handled the 200+ bushel corn great. Along with all of this, we managed to cover a couple hundred acres of bean ground a couple miles from the farm. Stay tuned for more 105 Combine action! Thanks for watching, and I will see you on the next one!

Hearing final drive whine brought back memories. Also split doors,if bottom door was closed, top open for air,then closing top door and not placing fingers just right,a finger nail would be lost.

I remember operating a 105 one year cutting beans for a farmer in North Monroe County Alabama. I think it was 1977. Hearing it start up with that belt slapping brought back a ton of memories.

My Dad had two 105's and we ran them for months every harvest. Barley , spring wheat, in July and August then millet, flax and finally sunflowers usually in November. Started running them when I was 9 years old.

Owned and ran. 95 in the 70s. Chevy gas engine. Put a good sample in the 80 bu tank. Fan in the upper right corner of the cab blew dirty air on you. Different world from my S670! Memories.....

Oh man lots of memories watching the old 105. I used to run a 105 as a kid. Ran a 4 row corn header and went as fast as the engine had power to run it.

At 9:30, it’s funny how you remember the distinct sound of the final drive gear whine, especially when you pull back on the variable speed with the sound of that in-line six engine!
