We didn't own one of these, but a neighbor did. He would chop our corn, while we used our gas-powered New Holland baler to bale his hay. Everybody helped their neighbors back then so that nobody had to own every farm implement
Back before social media. I remember those times. At least once a week everyone made it a point to stop by all the neighboring farms to catch up and hang out with each other. There is such a huge difference in doing that vs sending a text message or saying hello on social media. Having real relationships made people enjoy each others company and built lasting relationships. Now people treat relationships like they are disposable and people have become very self centered. I’m in my late 30s. Met a girl in her late 20s from the city. She couldn’t understand why I went every week to mow the elderly neighbors property. She said they should have planned for that part of owning their land and should pay someone to do it. No, not while I’m here. Those same elderly people have helped me countless times in the past. People are just selfish anymore. I no longer speak to her. She grew up in the city and just had a different personality. We need to get back to being good humans.
@@TsunauticusIV Well, I'm in my late 70s, so I remember those days quite well, thank you, and yes, neighbors helped neighbors. You didn't have to think about it, you just did it. Also all of us kids worked as soon as we were old enough to keep both ends of a shovel off the ground. Funny thing- all 7 of us kids survived. Imagine that.
the basics of the modern machines are the same. just bigger and more automation on the adjustments. I like the use of a manure spreader for feed--what worms? the heater unit for the "hay in a day" system is spotted at the dealer lot at the end.
I enjoy these old films very much. A look back in time. amazing

This was a time of ingenious innovation. What an abundance of knowledge.
The wrench - the most important farming implement

🇩🇿The first comment from a farmer living in Algeria
what do you farm in Algeria
In the 60s my dad shared a New Holland 818 chopper with 2 other farmers, its was a big chopper back then.
Can you imagine what the people who designed the "800" would think of the new SP Choppers that are sold now?
