This was popular back in the late 60s around here. I still have the hitch somewhere at the farm. We had a late D in the back. The trick is to get each tractor to pull equally. Works best in large fields. Once , the then big 100 HP tractors became affordable, that's the way every one went. We pulled a 12 ft chisel plow or a 20 ft wheel disk with the twins. I bought my IH turbocharged 806D used in 73, quite a step up! Still have it. Today we run a few 200 HP tractors for most heavy work.
That’s cool. Let an American farmer need something or tell him he can’t do something you better look out. He will get it done. Come he’ll or high water.
In some ways, not a bad idea. I would hope the clutch linkage stays right, with no problems. If it were to fail, for some reason, the rear tractor might push both of them out of control. It might be wise to wire in an emergency kill switch, on the front tractor to cut the ignition on the rear tractor, just in case something like that were to happen.
Those old720s and730s are still awesome tractors. I wish I could find one for myself.
I had a 1959 730 gas that I plowed with. The sound of the tractor was great! Thanks for the video!

Make a diesel smoke like that is hard on them.

@@wmden1 already a step ahead of you it has a safety shutoff cable 😃
@@timclark5333 Good deal.
I have a decompression lever that kills it if I need to.
Cool perspective of the passenger that needs do nothing. Maybe you are part of the weight package.
@@TrevorStruthers get some good videos back there 😂
@@timclark5333 The cameraman seat. Agreed. I wish I could ride like that and run my drone!
We had two 730s pulled 4 bottoms behind each in 4th gear
I have 1 D17 Allis Chalmers that pulls 5 snap coupler
Looks like some pretty tough soil. 5 3/4 mph?
nice but can those straight pipes please
😂
YOU MUST HAVE HAD SOME SOFT SOIL!!.
TO PULL THEM IN 4TH GEAR!!.
You could be plowing with 6 bottoms with 2 separate tractors. Not a safe set up with only one operator.
