Nice video , love old Skool things, old trucks, tractors, Harvest machines, shovels, excavators and afcorse clothing and music. Keep it going there. Nice accent by the way, greetings from holland
The evolution on our Minnesota Red River Valley farm started with the original binder pulled by horses. The binder hitch was converted to be pulled by a tractor but the operator still sat on the binder. The tractor clutch was rigged to be operated from back there by a rope and a long rod with a steering wheel was attached to the model H tractor steering wheel. The shocking crew would follow to build shocks which were then picked up a few days later by the wagon crews for hauling to the threshing machine. Later, the Farmhand loader with a large wood toothed bucker was mounted on another IH tractor and replaced some of the wagon crews. The tractor would drive continuously, loading the shocks into the bucker and driving the load to the threshing machine. Upon purchase of the first combine, the bundle mechanism on the binder was by-passed and what we called the swathing tin was installed to send the grain into a continuous swath along side the machine. The combine was then able to pick up the swath.
Back in my day as a kid in late 40''s this was being done but no power from the tractor it was powered by the wheel as you pulled it because it was used with horses. I used to stouk the grain for later pickup.
+farmalldanzill erwin Thanks! Live and learn. I guess there must've been a period of overlap as the farmers moved from binders to combines, makes perfect sense.
There's a place in Mineral Ridge, Ohio where there's thrashers, corn huskers, binders horse drawn, horse drawn plows and mowers. Farmer passed several years ago, all under roof.
When I was kid my Dad had a JD ground driven binder and they shocked 7 bundles in a pile to dry &cure before they pitched them on the racks to thresh Oats

That sure was fun to watch! Thank you for posting it, and your great commentary too...was just right!!
Old Farmalls are great. They could do so much work.

Great video gentlemen. They sure built them good!
Nice work love it . those old machines are always so unpredictable .
Loved the comment union workers, one guy working 5 supervising. Hahahaha
Great video, love seeing the old equipment working.

Me too! Our binder was ground drive and tractor pulled. It had a "bull wheel" as the ground drive component.
Fun to watch! I grew up on a Farmall H. I always though the binders were horse drawn though. Did someone add the PTO later?
They(they have two) were bought by this farm when new and have always been powered by PTO

Real nice video! I'm in NY.
Great Video...Especially love to see The John Deere Where it Belongs...Bringing up the Rear for the Farmall.
i remember when we did that in july at one of the shows
wish they would mention the year of the old farm equipment?
Power take off binder?
How does this machine bind the shocks together? Can someone answer that please
It ties a bit of twine rope around it
@@farmalldanzil The knotter for this binder must have been the most complicated part of this machinery. Thank you for responding.
Run the binder a little flatter and the bundle carrier will dump and less trouble at the knottier.

I think the tractor was going too fast at first, choking it.
still sounds better with the corn popper in there at times.
