Thanks for sharing the video Ryan. It's amazing how much we all can relate to one another when it comes to farming. Our stories may vary but we are all similar. I still farm with the Red ones but I have had my share of the green ones too. Half the family was Red and half was Green. I've ran all brands on different farms for others. For the most part it's hard to beat those older tractors any color. I enjoyed listening to his story and his reasoning behind a lot of stuff and I have to agree with him on a lot of it. Hope your harvest is going well for you and I hope your yields are doing well for you.
Love these videos Ryan. I farm in northern NY state and am a lifelong IH guy. I bought a nice original 1256 from Chippewa valley equipment in Holcombe, WI a few years back. Has the original dealer stickers on it from Darfur implement in Darfur, MN.
Good land should not go to houses, drives me crazy. I enjoy when toward the end of the interview you’ll ask the farmer about his thoughts on the future of farming-this is good listening!
Thanks for another great video Ryan. It was interesting and enjoyable to listen too and watch. Liked this video you did because Paul told it like it was. Not a lot of people do that. You and Paul were a lot alike there. Enjoyed listening to him for that reason. If I understand correctly his farm and your farm are fairly close together??????? Good video Ryan. I enjoyed it very much. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
I always enjoy your vids but I really like this guy. Not saying everyone you've interviewed aren't good people but just interesting how he started in the 70s had to quit in the 80s and started up again in 90.
Know that too well.............560 Diesel was a powerhouse when I was younger, now about limited to raking hay. 5288 and 4960 sitting here were huge, now they are small.
1992 was the cold summer. The year before, Mt Pinatubo erupted. I remember mowing hay on a 4010 in July with a hooded sweatshirt on. We green chopped a lot our hay that year because you couldn't get hay dry. The following May, we finished the last of 92s corn with a New Idea picker sheller on a 4020. A young guy would be real smart to get right into no till farming so they don't have to dump so much money into iron. The other thing I'd say is find a way to sell directly to the consumer. There are 5 dairy farms left in my county one of them is small, has the cows on grass, has a processing facility on site to pasturize and bottle their milk out of vending machines on site.
I'm pretty sure only the1965's had the white decals. I've own probably 10 of them over the years currently have a 67 model I restored and is in the last 600 built.
The 16 speeds that IH introduced with the 706, & 806 and beyond was why IH had the best tractor in the 1960's. JD did not compare until they introduced their quad range. JD became the best tractor when they introduced their 50 series and their 15 speed power shift. What JD did do right was making a foot accelerator as standard equipment and the larger fuel tank.
@@toby0395 The biggest down fall that IH did was the rear deferential that was designed in 1938 and manufactured for the Model M in 1939. The model M was rated at just under 41 HP. No changes were made for the Super M rated at just under 50 HP., nor the 400 rated at 53 HP, nor the 450 rated at 57 HP, nor the 560 rated at 64 HP. Finally the deferential broke because it was over powered. Many die hard IH tractor buyers turned to John Deere, and other makes of tractors. IH did recall the model 560 tractors and updated the deferential, but the damage was done and IH lost their first place position of tractor sales and Deere took over the lead in total annual tractor sales.
It's not about good cows, Its about good feed. All cows will milk very well if they were fed good feed. High protein alfalfa hay or haylage is the answer. And hire women to operate the milking chores.
Another great video with a man with a lot of knowledge, common sense and wisdom. Thanks again

Really enjoyed this guy. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Come on now the 5010 deserves more credit than that I have one and I think it's a great tractor
Excellent video. I agree with him on the business vs family farm to.
Excellent video.
Always enjoy ringing in the weekend listening to these stories

When my dad started in the dairy business in the 80s he was getting £1 per litre for milk. In 2007 when he quit he was gettin £1 per gallon.
Love the story
Great story ryan !!

That's quite a bit of history. He seems like he was enjoying the interview.. the big interest scam.!! We remember .. Big money equipment leases..
Thanks for another great video Ryan.

Great video! Love the stories!
To me that tractor is worth more the way it looks then having paint. It can tell a story right now.
Great interview Ryan 👍🏻

That feller is right on! When they switch to cme from Green Bay cheese exchange prices have been extreme

They say that the 1206 is rare today. They built tons of them, so I hardly doubt that
1993 was the 40% moisture and 40 pound test weight year

Matter of opinion but sales numbers disagree
I would definitely disagree, the TA was probably the biggest downfall IH ever had
@@toby0395 The recalling of the model 560 was the downfall of IH.

Went out in 2000.....$15.50.....to $9.50 in six weeks.. I'm still sick about it

I think you need both. But you don't need fancy.
What's fucked up is $3 bushel corn. . . Kids can't make a living
This is the smartest farmer you have spoken with.
$3 a bushel is ok, it's the ridiculous high inputs! Rent,land tax,equipment, seed,fertilizer..
@@hammerslammer3006so what your saying is $3 is not ok... it's totally fucked up. . . . . The gubbment
No need to use words like that. Please.
