    In today's episode, I have a Jerome Knudson's hillside tractors story for you. The story of how in the second half of the 1960s just a twenty-something years old farmer from North Dakota,, began to produce impressive tractors on his farm. In this video you will learn about its history as well as the history of machines such as the Knudson Hillside Tractor or the Knudson Hillside Hauler! I invite you to the episode about the mountain monsters from North Dakota! 👹
    Special thanks to Jesse Henderson for sharing with me a lot of interesting informations abour Knudson tractors which I could use in my video! Thanks a lot!😊

    Hi! I'm sorry if I pronounced "Knudson" name wrong - I had a really hard times trying to pronounce this word. I still master my english skills so If you found some words which I used wrong way or pronounced incorrectly please point it out to me so I could fix it next time 🙂

      You did fine.. Trouble with some new technology equipment manufacturers is that they develop some great new technology driven equipment that puts them way out front but that's about it. They can't seem to get much farther ahead and it's only a matter of time until the others catchup and take market share.....Nevertheless....a great video.

      Been working on a 70s model Ford. Was low in tech and innovation but dead reliable. Boss owns that Ford (75hp, naturally aspirated) and a new 2021 Kubota (65hp, turbo) and the older tractor has a hefty amount of torque, comparatively. The newer Kubota feels gutless by comparison. Solid piece of equipment for someone more budget minded in the medium size tractor market.

The heck of it was The big manufacturers is weren't making any real effort to make anything of the sort and out here on the plains of North Dakota and up and down the central Midwest big four-wheel drives were what was called for.

Then pulled an airstream to mid-south America and back truck and track tore are still at family farm, i think. you talk about a story. his grand son and I rode Harly's some. I would ride over to Jeff's farm to get him, and he would be coursing as he was walking out of one of many barns Grandad took off with my new Harly. will you help me get one of the old ones running. I would say let's just get a beer he will be back soon he is 90 years old.
