John Deere allowed TM cameras inside the famous John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, IL for a rare and fascinating look at how the best-selling combines in the world are made. See each step in the process – from metal fabrication, painting, welding, sub-assemblies, main assembly, final inspection – to combines being loaded on trucks and flat cars for delivery all over the world.
Bonus features include archival footage of John Deere combines being manufactured in 1959. See how the Harvester Works looked back then and John Deere’s first self-propelled combines in action – the 55, 45, and 95. Prepare to be amazed. 1 hour 20 min.
