I love those old tractors, they were fairly common when I was a kid but not so much anymore. Ever since I was in first grade in Belleville, I have loved walking a freshly plowed field with my eyes glued to the ground looking for arrowheads. To this day when I see the dust in the air I will go out of my way to ask if I can walk a farmers field. Its amazing what gets turned up in a freshly plowed field. Wonderful memories, Thank you for sharing.
Great to see all those older tractors. John Deere tractors seem to have stood the best for standing out over the years. Many makes of tractors have come and gone but John Deere has outlasted them all. A truly great Company.
The last few antique tractor shows that I attended, they would put a 1 lb. can of black powder underneath an big anvil. Light the fuse and see how high they could send the anvil into the air. Lots of fun. and lots of old machines. Great Video.
I really enjoy these videos and old tractors! Very neat to see them still in action just as good as the day they were first used!! They sure don't make things to last like they use to, no pride in quality anymore. Thanks Mr. Pete!
A 60 or 730 John Deere and a 3-bottom plow is what Dad used for a long time. Brings back memories of growing up. I was on the 50 John Deer and the 8 or 10 foot disc a lot. We didn't have a large number of acres which were planted, but made for some longer days on the tractor. Nice seeing you yesterday at Arnfest.
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!
My dad owned an Oliver AND a Moline ( not at the same time, that’s just too much obsolescence at one time! ) . There is a tale that is told around the town I live in about a county worker that got killed on a diesel Oliver ( it must have been a big one- no idea on the sizes of Oliver tractors ). It seems he lost control of it as he was trying to pass a car on the highway (!) . It seems that Olivers had “ transport gears “ to allow you to drive them between fields in a timely manner. The word is the guy left the road in excess of 60 miles an hour. It’s a tale for sure and if it’s a lie, well it was told to me as the truth.
I wouldn't do that around here. Too much WW2 waiting to be dug up. My son ploughed up a phosphorous incendiary bomb, the army came to blow it up, told him it was Canadian and he was lucky he hadn't cracked the casing.
I used to own a 1929 John Deere "Popping Johnny" 2 cylinder engine tractor. It was a loud popper that blew smoke rings out the top of the exhaust. It ran strong up until it was sold.
I really enjoy watching anything using older equipment I was born on an allis Chalmers wd and wd45 they won't pull my brothers wagons now but we did a lot with them Thanks
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.
Dont know if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months :)
I was going to see if I could get an old tractor for my little farm. Even the 1940's are going for $6000 in good running shape. There are companies still making parts for them. I love old tractors.
I saw a couple of shots what looked like a Rumley Oil Pull tractor. Could someone explain how those things work. I've seen them a lot in other videos, but without explanation. Just wondering! Thanks
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.
I wonder how many hours of seat time I have on my old Oliver's? Grew up with a 66 and 77 Oliver. Operated my neighbors H and M Farmals, along with my uncles JD As. I would still put my Oliver up against anything comparable back then.
What about the rest of the year? Do you generally enjoy the work? The grass is always greener on the other side, I've lived long enough to realize that, but I spent 15 years in a cubicle. The last 12 were in a classroom as a teacher which is an improvement, but a lot of us do NOTHING physical at work. So is there any satisfaction or joy in your work?
How are these tractors with different number of plows, rated? In terms of acre-feet per hour, or in terms of cubic feet per hour? How is the soil characteristic factored in? Does the fuel consumption also enter the equation? thanks for your insight.
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.
I don't see any disc plows in any of t his videos; don't they use them any more? there was at least one farmer in the area in the country that had disc plows for his tractor as come people liked them better then solid or slat winged plows?
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
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.
A tool set to try to drag some of the excess corn stalks into the plough furrow so that it reduced the risk of the plough blocking on the next run up the field. I've never seen one of those in use before!
I am guessing it was to distribute the corn stubble to so that the next plow pass would not get all plugged up with stubble as you saw several times . it is a pain to get off of a tractor to unclog all the time
At 2:56 in the video there's a John Deere plowing , but it seems to have some sort of low profile engine. I really would like to learn about this tractor and its power plant.

It's fun watching all the old tractors purr by. That is the most unique potato picker I have ever seen. Thanks!

Neat. I still use my Ford tractor from 1959. It’s a workhorse but not as kept up as those antiques
The last few antique tractor shows that I attended, they would put a 1 lb. can of black powder underneath an big anvil. Light the fuse and see how high they could send the anvil into the air.
Lots of fun. and lots of old machines. Great Video.
I don't know why I love old tractors so much.
Yes, it makes no sense
Neat seeing the older equipment working.
I liked the potato plow at the end.

Always love to see antique farm machinery back at work. Thanks.
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!
I enjoyed the old tractors. I was a farm boy when I was very young. Keep on keeping on.
The Model A and the Minneapolis Moline are my faves! Lovely character these machines have.
Yes

Transport speeds on most old tractors is 15 mph
Those tractors look great and their owners must be so proud of those old machines.

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

Invite a few friends over... great way to get your field plowed. :)

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!
Thank You Mr Pete, I could watch that all day long.
Got rid of my 51 ford after it tried to buck me off but still got 71 Massey 135 Perkins,love me some old tractors!
Have some of that around here. It keeps the machining equipment busy once in awhile!
Just spent 14 hrs on an 820 JD. My ears are still ringing. in a small 10 acre field, it's like trying to carve a turkey with a chain saw.
lol
Have done that in Blythe, CA. I was twelve or thirteen years old at the time. Drove a Farmall M.
Dont know if anyone cares but if you're bored like me atm then you can watch all the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few months :)
@Jaziel Paxton Yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
That looks like a great day out.
Never have so many plowed so little in such a short time..... for such a crowd!
lol

Good tractor video. Cheers !
Thanks

Imagine the thousands of horsies these machines made obsolete. I guess the world needs glue and pet food too. ; )
This is how I use to hunt arrow heads, after the field was plowed we would wait for a good rain and then go searching.
United States farmers... May God bless everyone of them!
Semper Fi, TreeTop
most enjoyable to watch... Thanks for sharing sir....

I had a 53 Ford up until about 3 years ago that could still pull from sunup to sundown. I've been mad at myself for selling it ever since.
Sellers remorse, I had it many times
I recognized that tractor at 2:15. It was formerly owned by Herman Munster
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.
I enjoyed this vid. Good old made in USA tractors and equipment. Chinook Alberta
That tater digger is sweet. I like them all but the big MM is my favorite.
Eric Corse mighty mo
I wonder how many hours of seat time I have on my old Oliver's? Grew up with a 66 and 77 Oliver. Operated my neighbors H and M Farmals, along with my uncles JD As. I would still put my Oliver up against anything comparable back then.
I love the house smoothly the Oliver engines ran
Thanks, I've never seen the old ones actually doing something. Sometimes I wonder if the men doing this for a living enjoyed it or not.
What about the rest of the year? Do you generally enjoy the work? The grass is always greener on the other side, I've lived long enough to realize that, but I spent 15 years in a cubicle. The last 12 were in a classroom as a teacher which is an improvement, but a lot of us do NOTHING physical at work. So is there any satisfaction or joy in your work?
Yes but would we have it any other way??
Keep it up Pete. Enjoyed it.

Geniales. Divinos todos. Los felicito pioneros hoy aun son buenos desde la bella colombia
Great video! Do you still have your tractors? Ever take them to a plow day? Fun times.
and that boys and girls is how the tractor pulls started. thou i doubt this tractor pull had a half time female mud wrestling.
UhOh, mrpete now has an idea for a new series :)
Which was your favorite, Mr. Pete?
dale pratt
Why is it that most of the tractors have a clean and nice paint, but the majority of the plows look like civil war era?
THANK YOU...for sharing.
Really great video! Thanks 😄
As.
Anyone know what the spinning (tetter like) thing called behind the John Deere pulled plow? (Not the potato digger at the end)
Very interesting.Can you make a list of the models. Jorgen Denmark
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.

I enjoyed the old tractors l learned driving in zetor25A tractor
👍👍
Thank you very much mrpete222
why don't they have the cornstalks chopped prior to the plowing show ?
I don't see any disc plows in any of t his videos; don't they use them any more? there was at least one farmer in the area in the country that had disc plows for his tractor as come people liked them better then solid or slat winged plows?
how they protect turning parts from dust ?
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
jhfenderr1 in the days before power steering the camber greatly improved steering ease. A smaller tighter footprint to distribute the weight.
I've spent many a day doing just that on a John Deere model B.
Always like old farm equipment
My uncle just bought himself a spoker D he said he'll restore it and use it some
That will be awesome, but it takes a lot of muscle to start that big engine
The MM is the smoothest engine!
I wish I could ride one again

That is how you farm, right there.

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

It was to get the corn stalks out of the way on the next pass so not to plug up the plow.
great video!!!!

All John two cylinder tractors are made that way. Millions of them
I like love that Oliver John Deere for ever my first love
Really nice video!!!👍👍👍
What kind of implement is the very last one???
LarryDMohr potato uncoverer (digger)
the Tractor is a Lanz D2416 the the Digger was a Lanz LK 25 both are from germany
I used to use 2 cylinder John Deere machines.
I owned five of them
awesome just freaking awesome
🤙🤙🤙
Thanks to Rudolph Diesel
it wasnt till just now i realized why on tractors, many had their front wheels close together.
Tricycle gear was very useful with row crops. No wide axle up front to knock down the crop.
Blazer02LS stays out of the soft ground too.
l ancien materiel est plus puissant que le materiel actuel ...j addore ceci
Awesome!

they should have raked that field before plowing it
OSHA would have written them all up for not having ear protection if they were there.
