PLOWING WITH ANTQUE OLIVER JOHN DEERE MOLINE TRACTORS tubalcain

My Step-Grandfather owned a John Deere 60, which he bought new in '55 or '56. He farmed with it for 30 something years, until he retired. I used to ride along with him, plowing the fields. Loved it!

What kind of implement is the very last one???

We had an 830 with a 4 bottom drag back in the 70's. Dad used it to plow terraces up, while I ate dust on a 4020 going roundy round. The 830 was good to mow hay using a sickle mower and hay rake. Suicide hand clutch, 2 cylinder, love that engine sound to this day.

Ploughing! A fine collection of vintage farm machinery. Out of all of that, I liked the McCormick Deering Farmall the best (at 0:50)

mr pete
why are the front wheels of a tractor angled
my guess is so they stay straight and don't fall into the row and get stuck
i would like to know the true reason

Thanks to Rudolph Diesel

If that gentleman running the shredder would gear down and throttle up the people running the mold boards wouldn't be having so much an issue with the corn stubble.

Thank You Mr Pete, I could watch that all day long.

Nice video Mr. Pete. Reminds me of driving my uncles MF back in the mid sixties in North Carolina during cropping time. Great memories!

Always love to see antique farm machinery back at work. Thanks.

This is oddly hypnotic stuff for a city boy like me. I have never set foot on a working farm as best I know. Thanks!

Those machines bring back many memories. As a young man I worked at a plant that produced the metal disks used to till the soil.

I worked the hot press – 15 minutes stacking thick disks onto a conveyor belt that took the disks into a furnace to preheat them. 15 minutes operating the press that turned the red-hot disk into an agricultural tilling plate. And 15 minutes rest.

Each disk weighed about 12 kg, and I processed hundreds of them in a day. My University scholarship did cover all my University tuition and so I had to work to make up the difference. Hard work but hard manual labour is good for the body and the soul.

I recognized that tractor at 2:15. It was formerly owned by Herman Munster

Nothing like a turning plow. Now you see it and now it's dirt. Grew up on an old Alis Chamber with a double disc plow. You could start at 6 and quit at 6 and spit further than you plowed in a 100 acre field.

and that boys and girls is how the tractor pulls started. thou i doubt this tractor pull had a half time female mud wrestling.

Have done that in Blythe, CA. I was twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Drove a Farmall M.

United States farmers... May God bless everyone of them!

Some are making a better job than others but that's largely down to the amount of trash laying on the top! Interesting to see the bush hog slaying those stalks and that potato spinner working at the end.

Neat seeing the older equipment working.
I liked the potato plow at the end.

what was that rotating device trailing on the left side of some of those plows?
