  • It's day 2 of the Half Century of Progress show! There are 100 Farmall tractors lined up in order, one for each year of production, and I'm going to use them to explain the different generations of Farmall tractors. Later, we brave golf cart chaos to see some plowing and corn harvesting, look at some unusual tractors, and meet Evan & Rebekah from Country View Acres.

    Nice seeing Evan and Rebecca. Those two have made their mark on the internet. The dating and history of the Farmall Tractors was a pleasure to watch. Life as it used to be over a century ago with the tools available and the leaving of the plowhorse. Wonderful show and video.

  • @stevestrohacker8436
    @stevestrohacker8436 10 месяцев назад +10

    You did well, Pete. The only things I can add are the Farmall waz the first strictly all purpose tractor hence the name FARM ALL. These are a departure from the "Prairie Giants" that first came out to apply brute force to bust the tough prairie sods. In 1923 IHC released 3 lines of tractors. Farmall, McCormick Deering, and International. The Farmall was a tractor designed to push, pull, or carry the implements to do work. McCormick Deering was a Standard tractor designed for busting prairie sod again and generally went to the prairie states and Canada where large open fields were the norm. McCormick Deering was also designed to generally push or pull the implements. International was the the "wildcard" if you will as this was the Industrial line. Think Heavy pushing and pulling.
    In about 1948 the Deering name was dropped as the last surviving Deering family member had passed away and the naming slightly streamlined. Then in 1954 the McCormick line stopped refering to the Standard line and streamlined the sales even further. Since the McCormick and International were essentially the same tractor the McCormick line was a subset of the International line which represented all Standard type tractors. The first International 400 that came out, The Standard tractor, created a problem as the owner would go order parts for his International 400 and get Farmall 400 parts which didn't necessarily fit. Within months of the International 400 it was redesignated the International W-400, the W signifying a difference in the Farmall 400 and International 400. I have to assume that the other 100, 200, and 300 had similar issues though not as prevelant as with the big horse at the time. I owned the International "W"-400 that exists and it took me years to figure this clue out.

    All through these two videos I've been trying to picture the look my granddaughter of 12 would give me if I told her, "We're goin' to a Tractor Show! Allis Chalmers rocks!" I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be typing this comment because I would've been caught in the vortex of a massive eye roll right then and there.
    Your kids are on the right track, tho, cuz tractors aren't lame. Tractors helped get that scrumptious meal we just ate onto the table. And they're still working, at least 50 or 60 years later, even a hundred years!
    I can't really get into the newer tractors, either, Pete. 🤔 They look like road construction equipment to me.

    All that corn left behind on the ground is what kept all those pheasants alive over the winter back in the day. Now the machinery does such a thorough job they're starving to death. The loss of cover too because of taking out hedgerows and wetlands to make fields bigger.

I was farming when the 88 sries came out and dreamed of buying an 86 series tractor, just to have the 06 series platform. 40 years later, amazing how things continue to change.

    always neat seeing things as they've progressed through the ages! my pops has a '47 BN that our neighbor gave us about 36 ish some odd years ago. thing could really use a rebuild but we've managed to keep it running every year without fail, we've had to build a modified 3 point setup on the back for a small plow blade but for years we used it to pull a 48" brush hog. quite a few years back he picked up an old heavy steel roller that someone made from the front axel/wheel of an old pavement roller that probably weighs around 1200 lbs and despite it's age and how much it's been used the brakes are still holding on! they just don't build things like they used to! these things were built to last a few lifetimes with the right care!
