Big 985 Combine

Sperry-New Holland's conventional 985 combine carried the company out of the 1960's and into the 1970's.  Unequalled in capacity this 125 bushel machine used a 130 hp V-8 engine for power.  The 985 was an industry leader in 1968 when it was introduced.  The 985's cylinder was nearly 40 inches wide. With  variable cylinder speed, real height and speed, and header controlled from the cab the 985 was right at home in small grains, soybeans and corn.  Ertl offered a generic 1/20 scale New Holland combine from 1968 to 1972 modeled after 985.  The header is chain driven and this model new in the box can bring $320 today.
