I grew up making hay with 2 cylinder Deere’s, just listening to this vid brought back a lot of good memories. And if you’ve never gotten equipment stuck, I don’t think that you’re truly farming.
Love this! Good old tractors and equipment can still get the job done because they were built to last. I was born in 68 and enjoyed growing up listening to Johnny Poppers on my farm and everyone else's back then. Still have an old JD G and an A running on the farm today. Thanks for the video, god bless!
Mowed alot of hay with a 1219 moco. Never care for it. It was on a small dairy I worked on and we ran it with a 4010 diesel or a 7040 Allis. I had a 489 New Holland that worked good which I ran with my 730. I mowed a lot of hay on a tank of fuel with that tractor. Good luck. I mowed my first field tonight. We haven't had a long enough stretch of good weather to cut dry hay.
I use a NH 488 haybine. It's been a great machine. Under a shed all its life. Soon it will be looking for a new owner. Nice to hear the old two banger.
The first tractor I drove was one of my dad's 520s, I was 7 (1959). He sent my younger brother and me across the creek behind our house to some new ground he was clearing. We had to start the tractor, put it in low, jump off the back, and toss roots and sticks into a cabbage cart attached to the back. We used it because it had a hand clutch, we were too small to use the Farmall H with a foot clutch.
I always mowed 3 rounds around the outside then went up the middle in a straight line, sometimes dividing the field 2 or 3 times. Took a little more time to mow, but saved time raking and baling.
thanks for sharing, learned to drive at 12 years on my uncles farm, Grandpa had a jd h,oliver hart parr,couldnt part with Queenie and Barney,12 cows 40 acres and 9 children.He bought the 2nd auto matic manure spreader, the implement dealer took the first one. Grandpa had nice new/newer machinery, hay loader with beautiful rose mauling, I think grandpa had a pretty good life
@@reaperhunter7297 I driven two of these two cylinder John Deere’s! My grandpa‘s model A that was the first thing I learned to drive and for five years I had a 1949 model B that I bought when I was still in high school Man do I miss that tractor today! Sold it unfortunately! It’s hard for people to understand who has not grown up with these tractors! That two cylinder pop brings back wonderful memories!
Excellent video Brandon :) yes some years are wet not much sunshine heat also other years can so dry with less rain too and always enjoy got in machinery also tractors plus crops do too! I remember back in 1988 & 1992 to 1994 was wet years on farming with my late dad also uncle his bother and was rush to plant crops and rush take off in Ontario Canada were I live ! One feild on home farm had hay grew up nice but muddy to take use 2 tractor to cut off and when did silo corn took 4 tractors to pull corn chopper plus Farm Hand wagon to get off feilds and even grain in combine plus pick corn to! Remember my dad also uncle what sloppy years and need retirement to rent land out on home farm ! They were both piss off!
We had an old 720 on the farm I grew up on. Very reliable old tractor. I do not remember any of the bad parts of working hay, but we used a farm-all H for that chore.
Back in the day I ate the hot days like candy, plenty of water and just lean into the heat mow, rake, stack bales on the wagons and up in the barn up young and dumb.
My dad used to bale wheat straw with an LPG 720. We had an ancient New Holland square baler that had a big Kohler or Wisconsin (can't remember which) engine on it rather than being PTO driven. My grandfather purchased the baler before he got the 720, his first tractor with live PTO.
Hope everything keeps going well for you all it’s really really hot in the mid west right now stay safe in the heat buddy thanks for sharing god bless everyone
always amazing how the 2 cylinders are such work horses! they are old, but you are able to work on them, and use them still farming for years to come! great video, sorry about the muck, you are not ever able to escape “the muck factor”
That's my dream tractor. My dad and I rebuilt an LP standard version with all the accessories. Then when he retired he sold it. One day I hope to have one!!!
We always had self propelled swathers. (ya, we were spoiled ;) We did have a pull behind green chopper, but we hardly ever used it. Mostly if we had to clear out an overgrown area.
one year was real wet we really tore up the hay field. had to hook the 501 ford to the case 400 to get out .had knee deep wide ruts in that rented field
I use to cut Alfalfa with a Massey Harris 44 Special with an old Oliver cycle mower, cut hay until it's done. I see you're are to have to rake for round bailer.

At the time they were made, the two-cylinder diesel engines were about 20% more fuel-efficient than their nearest competition. But John Deere had pushed the two-cylinder engine design about as far as it would go. The market wanted more horsepower and a faster throttle response. And that required more cylinders and faster engine speeds.

these old tractors used to cover a lot of acres back in the day and they still have it in them it just if the guy in the seat has the grit to stay in the seat these old girls aren't for everyone you got to love it to cover that much ground
I would keep that plan and put a tile in it then like saying farmer or use it for making a I would hang on to that land it's nice to see you guys make some hay too
This has been happening to me in the last couple of days. I think YT has a glitch. I could hear the sound on this vid just fine. Try from a different device.
U take care of them nd they last. I have a JD A tht i still use. But not for much longer as I am building an electric tracker to replace it. Price of gas is just to high Has been for the last 20 yr or more and besides that I generate my own electricity and the Generators have paid for themselves 2, 25K wind and 4, 30K hydro. NYSEG paid me another 5G's last yr and owe me over 4G's already this yr. By end of sunmmer will have put in another 30K hydro.

Just love the old JD twin cylinder models, nice to see em working as intended!
Fantastic grew up on John Deere love the 2 cylinders!!!!

Awesome video love the 720 . Thanks for working in the sun
I love the Two cylinders I have 5 A.s And a 720 diesel with a pony 🐴 great video,,💪💪💪👍😎
I love mowing hay and the smell of fresh cut hay
Best way to make older tires look new is to mow or rake hay!
Great vision and sound 👍

"Shouldn't do it but do it anyway" Every guy has done LOL. Have never mowed hay but now heat & sweat that's for sure!

720 is doing a great mowing. I loved watching the big horse pull out the 720. Great video and can't wait to see the next one.
Wish my hay field looked that nice. Fantastic stand of hay.
Spectacular!!!!. "John Deere 720"!!!!👍💪👏💚💛🇺🇸🏆
I love the way those old 2 cylinders sound!
One of the best sounds ever!

I used to mow with a 4010 flail mower and rake with a hand start B. I always loved the 4010 because it had an AM radio!
No way I could listen to a Johnny popper all day.......
Nice lookin' hay field (short of the wet spot) should make some nice mixed hay. Thx for sharing the video today Brandon!
I do enjoy the sound of that old 720.
Good job mowing! Mike from Missouri
Thank you!
I like watching the old tractors still working. That hay looks way past its prime though.
The hay around here is past it's best nutritional value too. Wasn't fit weather for baling. Hopefully the later cuttings will be better.
Brandon may be we should think this! If we want a mud hole found , your the guy for the job!

Cab tractors were a luxury back in the 60 to 70*s
The 720 is one of the best ones that jd made
My dad used to bale wheat straw with an LPG 720. We had an ancient New Holland square baler that had a big Kohler or Wisconsin (can't remember which) engine on it rather than being PTO driven. My grandfather purchased the baler before he got the 720, his first tractor with live PTO.
It's always nice to have some cows and Pigs for freezer camp
Back when JD was reliable and easy to fix if any issues come up ..
Hope everything keeps going well for you all it’s really really hot in the mid west right now stay safe in the heat buddy thanks for sharing god bless everyone

That`s a good looking field.

Good stand of hay for you
That grass looks natural native
We still use our 2 cylinders to put up hay
Like in the Hot Crazy Matrix- that’s the No Go Zone
Nice looking field all mowed.
It was lol its a bean field now
Don’t feel too bad. My cousin had to limp a genesis home around 5 miles at 6 mph today🙃
9:10 There's no such thing as overkill . You're just making EXTRA sure the job is gonna get done 🤣
Some times a cab is real nice.
Not a big fan of the new Deere equipment but I love the old iron and implements.
I love the models I wished I had one I had I used to ride on one was friend of ourseling I was a kid and I just love the sound of them
Those are a models that I like I wished I had one I'd love to sound of them
one year was real wet we really tore up the hay field. had to hook the 501 ford to the case 400 to get out .had knee deep wide ruts in that rented field
Ooooh man. If that was 134 miles south, I’d be all over it

I believe the 720 diesel was the most fuel-efficient tractor 2-cylinder JD made!
At the time they were made, the two-cylinder diesel engines were about 20% more fuel-efficient than their nearest competition.

@@CharlesWT-TX in reality, that's BS
Know that feelin.stuck couple times.try to avoid at all costs.lol
Good old surprises never fail mowing a new field...wear a hat and hydration ofter...
Nothing like a make work project! Lol!
I use a mix of marvel mystery oil to fuel in all my tractors helps lubricant for cylinders and valves
That stuff is wonderful I used it in MC

You need to bury a tile there
I'm still using old equipment old tractors Everyday
That was alot of field for that ole 720 lol
these old tractors used to cover a lot of acres back in the day and they still have it in them it just if the guy in the seat has the grit to stay in the seat these old girls aren't for everyone you got to love it to cover that much ground
We had 720 JD narrow front end. Also a 4020 JD. That was 50 years ago. And yes I got stuck.
I would keep that plan and put a tile in it then like saying farmer or use it for making a I would hang on to that land it's nice to see you guys make some hay too
What’s happening to the 5020 👍🏿🇦🇺
Whine me a river over the heat, never had cab, learned to tolerate it
I would stay on the lease and overseed some alfalfa. It's got moisture content. You found that out.
Better than a 7 foot sickle.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
looks like Cheat & Johnson grass to me
Would sure be nice to know at least what state you're in
Knox,Indiana
Will you be at power of the past this year
Need a 12vdc fan on your dashboard if you will.
In what gear was the tractor?
3rd gear
That’s what I thought
Can you do some land cleaning there
not sure about this but with goats donkeys and cattle i would maybe look at doing a per bale deal on that ground and keep it around just a brain fart
Go big or stay home 🤣🤣
Is that right!!!
No sound.
This has been happening to me in the last couple of days. I think YT has a glitch. I could hear the sound on this vid just fine. Try from a different device.
Worst thing about hay field if it never be touch it will hide all kind of secrets
what are you whining from baling in the winter sucks laughing have a great day
