10 Forgotten Combines That Changed Harvesting Forever

Before modern combines, harvesting a field could take an entire crew working for days. Then a handful of forgotten machines transformed agriculture forever. In this video, we're counting down 10 forgotten combine harvesters that helped create modern farming — from pioneering machines of the late 1800s to the rotary combines that completely changed how grain is harvested. You'll discover the New Holland TR70, CLAAS Hercules/SF, John Deere No. 55, International Harvester 123-SP, Massey-Harris Model 21, Massey-Harris Model 20, Allis-Chalmers All-Crop 60, Gleaner-Baldwin, Holt Self-Propelled Combine, and the incredible Sunshine Header-Harvester. One was created during wartime under a special production exception. Another became one of the most successful combines ever built. One helped prove that self-propelled harvesting was possible decades before it became mainstream. And number one began with a teenager, a blacksmith's forge, and an idea that would change farming forever. These machines may have disappeared from modern fields, but their engineering DNA lives on in the combines farmers use today. Which forgotten combine surprised you the most?
