They are sure tough. This M was missing a bit the last time I mowed with it, so I pulled the distributor cap off to see. All the contacts were covered in oxidation. That tractor had no right to be running at all, much less just missing on occasion. It's amazing what they will tolerate.
It's funny, I grew up with JD equipment with my Dad, but after buying an International b275 for an equipment mover for one of my shops, I realized I could get the same or better tractor for a 5th of the money. That has made me interested in the rest of the International Farmall line over the years, and I gotta say, they get the job done!
How many feet is the mower? Love seeing old Farmalls out in the field, we have a farmall H ourselves. It does everything from raking hay to carrying 300 gallons of water on a wagon for the cows, love seeing old tractors in the field.
It doesn't have a 3-point hitch, so you might take that into account. You'd probably find the plowing and disking easier with something like a Ford 8N. That's what I do my garden work with.
Absolutely. Its practical if your runnning under lets say 80 acers or so. Can be more, but you'll be out there a while. If you dont mind seat time, then have at it. You wont find implements as far as 3 point goes, but there is plenty of trailing disc and trailing trip plows around. Do realize Farmall Super C's were used on 200 acer plus farms back in the day, and those are smaller then an M. I use a super C to bale hay. Not fast, but no bailing is fast from what ive seen, I also used it to disc a pasture using a 10' trailing disc. So yes, it is very possible and practicle where bigger equipment cant get into.
I put the hydraulic belly pump on, ran a single line back to the haybine, and it worked. I don't think this setup will do two lines, but it handles one just fine.
@@smallfarmsurvival4026 wow I didn’t realize that you could run a haybine without live power. I have run sickle bars without live power. Interesting thanks for sharing hay cutting experience. Love the M. I have thought about purchasing one I don’t know much about them!
@@mulehead3697 I've never used the haybine on a tractor with live power, so I don't know what I'm missing I guess. I do know it helps when you're using the baler. You can hit the clutch to slow or stop while the baler eats a big clump.
@@smallfarmsurvival4026 oh. I was always just used to using I have PTO on everything when I was at home. Then I got introduced to Tractors with out live pto power. Just never seen a haybine Used without live pto power. Taught me something today pretty neat.
@@mulehead3697 Absolutly can, they have a over run clutch on them just like a baler. I run a IH 37 baler on a Farmall Super C. Dont need an over run clutch because its built into it.
Anyone needing hay equipment in ky I got all you need to set up your first farm. Super C. M .MASSY 165. SAME HAYBINE AS THE ONE IN THIS VID. ROLL BAILER ect ect
Farmalls are awesome tractors

Yeah -- they aren't fancy, but they work. :)
I cant express how this video makes me feel 😁
That tractor and haybine make a nice matched pair. I love the 360 visibility of the M. No cab or anything to get in the way. :)
I got the same feeling, but even more so yesterday because I used a SM-Ta to bale straw with. Always fun to use the old farmalls.
Awesome. What baler did you use?
Farmall M, what a prize. Take care of your equipment, and it will take care of you. Old maintenance man logic.
Drop er down a gear n speed up the engine speed...grew up with M's Super C , gas 400, & Ford 901 Select o speed ...
I just ordered one of those knives.Great video.
Great video, like seeing the old iron working 👍
That old tractor purrs like a farmall does
I am always Looking for New Channels to support and I saw your channel on my Recommendations I am Happy to Support your Channel! and watch :)
Thanks so much! We really appreciate the support. :)
good job big red!!! great video
If you mow the field first (clockwise) and the outer edge last (counterclockwise) the material will feed better.
Not only that, you have more room to turn tractor and mower around without running over standing grass.

Good old tractors. Too bad isnt one with live power.think later ones were.
Do you think its practical to disk, plow with a farmall M today?
It doesn't have a 3-point hitch, so you might take that into account. You'd probably find the plowing and disking easier with something like a Ford 8N. That's what I do my garden work with.

Do you think a Farmall H can do that I just bought a 479
A 479 is a bigger machine, so I don't know that an H could handle it. There's no harm in trying, though. It might work and it might not.
What did you have to do to make the hydraulics pick the haybine up?
I put the hydraulic belly pump on, ran a single line back to the haybine, and it worked. I don't think this setup will do two lines, but it handles one just fine.
The M doesn’t have Live pto power? Is that correct?
That is correct.
