MF 35 Brochure

Looks pretty similar to the North American version except for the big fenders. 

Here is a 1660 combine ad but not the model you might think of . One of the last real Case combines. About 1970.

Now that is one 1660 I wouldn't mind just for fun.  Funny that they left JD out of that spec comparison.  Or more specifically the 105 or 7700.

That with the fenders is true in some areas in Europe you were able to get fenders with seats on them. That is an awesome CASE combine I always wondered why Case stopped making them.

I guess I'll just throw this unrelated Kern Farm Equipment ad in here. Interesting to see that back in 1952 the world depended on you, that is to say, me, the farmer. I suppose to some extent the world does still depend on us as people still need to eat. But you don't hear much about it anymore. As long as we keep on producing without going broke nobody will worry too much. 

Kern Farm Equipment was a local short line equipment importer back in those days. They sold a lot of interesting farm equipment.

Seems a strange way to pose a picture of a pull-type combine in the middle of a field.

Yeah, where's the tractor in the cornfield?

Somewhat true, but you may be a little mixed up on that. AGCO Allis ones started in 1991. AGCO White ones started in 1992. AGCO ones started in 2004.

Here is a Brochure of a FAHR Swather

 

Looks typical of the older pull type swathers with that end delivery. Biggest problem with that was in our country of twists and turns , on a gradual left turn the swath would drop right into the track left by the right side tractor wheel. Left it sometimes heads down and very hard to pick up. Also more subject to soaking and hard to dry out. Of course there was no room to make them centre delivery until they started building at least 18 foot pull types. They they had a short canvas on the left that carried the swath a little further to the right making it almost centre delivery. A big improvement. 

Here is an old IH McCormick pull type 120 swather from 1955.

End-delivery pull-type swather is good to me, one less canvas, even double-swathed with it, self-contained hydraulics, low power requirements.

Maybe ok if you have square, flat, level fields but like I said, here in pothole country we are so often working on a gradual curve. And if it is a left hand curve that swath is going to fall into the "rut" left by the right tractor wheel. Heads down, difficult if not impossible to pick up. I remember it well even after nearly 30 years. Centre delivery eliminated that problem. And those self contained hydraulics worked but I can still remember the shoulder pain after a long day of  reaching back to work those levers on my uncle's pull type Cockshutt swather. If it was mine I would have converted it to tractor hydraulics right away. 

Still probably easier than this 1950 model 2 pull type that had no hydraulics at all. Straight mechanical "armstrong" table and reel lift. I'd bet there was not a lot of adjusting on the go on those machines.

I have a manual for that IH windrower.  We ditched our pull type swather in 1965 and bought a new Massey 34.  The year before we had bought a new Massey 510 so we were living high.  Problem with a pull type besides knocking wheat down on the first round was they didn't track very good in the hills.

Swathing was not so common in Western Europe for grains but for a while Rapeseed was swathed. I get what you mean with does end delivery type swathers. I have seen pics and also in a youtube video that had a front mount swather here is a link of it it starts around the 7:48 minute mark. This video also has a scene of using a field chopper to thresh grain its about 90% effective in threshing out the grain. The only thing the threshing machine does is cleaning.

You must have had some serious hills to cause a side draft problem. I never had that problem except for once in mud. The 21 foot Massey was really pulling sideways behind the tractor and that was on the level. Only happened once. There was a stabilizer kit built here in Sask. by Haukass manufacturing they say worked well to control side draft. Haukass stabilizer
