A valuable piece of history wrapped up in this video, it gives us the proper perspective of how engineering and technology has improved whatever products they are making.
My father was working mules for a widow lady for 75 cents a day. She had a tractor parked in the barn? My dad said to her that he could get the farming done much faster if he could use the tractor? She said that they didn't grow any kerosene and it cost 10 cents a gallon?
I'll bet the real reason that the tractor stayed in the barn whiles the mules did the work is similar to my dad's experience with one of his tenant farmers: My dad bought a brand-new tractor for one of his tenant farmers to use, certain it would raise that farmer's productivity. When my dad, a week later, visited that farmer to see how he was doing, he was surprised to see that old farmer still plowing with mules. Evidently, when the farmer started the tractor to begin the day's work, instead of harnessing up the mules, the mules raised such a ruckus, kicking their stall walls almost to the point of destruction. The mules were so accustomed to being harnessed and led to work every morning that they just couldn't handle the change in routine. So, the farmer resumed plowing with mules and that new red tractor stayed in the barn until my dad sold it, I think.
1:27 Ha- those where the days. Back when there weren't as many nerds and no-one would question you pretending to type a pre-written document on the silver screen.
all tractor seats back then were fixed they didn't give any it wasn't until the 194OS when they put shocks under tractor seats which made better and more comfy and later on they went adjustable seat U could adjust yourself a lever OMG 11 9 2O22
are the lugs sharp or are they blunt ? sharp is used to aerate blunt to compact. also those compactors have around 850hp engines and are just a tad bit heavier as their sole purpose is squishing in a big hurry over crazy, slippery terrain.
coring is another way of aeration. angle iron was used as treads on these steel wheels, the front tires launched dirt/sod 10-20' during a turn. see something that fairly efficiently work earth. Caterpillar D11 R Pushing Quarry material off mountain . CAT D11 Crawler Tractor
a wedge is used to split wood, a blunt nail plows wood. it comes down to the material that is exposed to the force /work, sharp edges would fail to efficiently compact trash, but work well for penetrating soil that was probably mismanaged for decades, do to the lack of knowledge and proper equipment. wide footprint = www.kwbg.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-LANDFILL-BOMAG-CARRIE.jpg
I have a 10-20 McCormick like the last one in the film. To restore . It was tractor that my Great great great Uncle bought for the farm In 1936. its on Rubber too .
The rubber tires would grip better in mud...here in the heavy ground the steel tires would fill with mud and just spin..the rubber tires would flex and clean..And the doodle bugs "model A and T vehicles converted to tractors ran rubber tires
So this is what it would have been like to watch a film in the 20's... if your head was jammed in the machinery of the projector and somebody was jack hammering the floor next to it. I can cross that "what if" off of my bucket list now!
charles lalonde back then, weight was a issue, and steel tire treads could be changed to fit the job at hand and lasted longer, and as a bonus didn't catch fire! thet did however freeze to the ground.
What if OSHA had been around at the goodyear plant rubber tires would never been invented, that poor man winding rubber on the wheel, damn wonder if he didn't get wond up in the contrapson.
terrible tractor drivers, none of them except the guy pulling the potato digger ever look back to see if anyone has fell off and went under the machine or if the machine is plugged up
Yo, Dave- Mechanization was new to farmers in the 1920's and much remained to be learned. The experiences that led to today's body of knowledge simply hadn't occurred yet at the time of this film. If the farmers in this film clip seem dumb and inexperienced it's because, well, because they WERE. By the 1930's they had a lot more figured out and when their sons went off to war in the 1940's they took a large amount of mechanical knowledge with them. They were largely 'pre-trained' for mechanized warfare in the world's most mechanized army. We can thank mechanized agriculture for making a very large contribution to our victory in WW II, and not just because of its phenomenal output.
What a piece of propoganda! Goodyear pitching the advantages of rubber tires! That's like Timothy O'Leary expounding on the advantages of LSD. Great tractor flick. You notice that in the old days not only was everything black and white, if you go back early enough nobody talked either. That might hae been a good thing though. One thing about the steel cogged wheels, you never have to air them up or change them or fix the valve stem when the cow chews it off.
Thanks, great piece of history

Enjoyed watching that. thank you. What a contrast to today.
how far we have come.enjoyed the video
there would be a big difference between the slanted angle iron lugs vs. the V lug . Then I would compare them to rubber tire traction
C'mon! You're killing me! I loved the vid but kill the projector noise and give me some that good old fashioned narration:)
Rubber tires helping prepare even more soil for the dust bowl to take away.
Gee, I'd love to see how you made THAT connection.

What a mean old crag! I guess people were just naturally mean in those days I guess.

those big assed spoked tractor wheels......hella cool
1:27 Ha- those where the days. Back when there weren't as many nerds and no-one would question you pretending to type a pre-written document on the silver screen.
What planet you from? They had rubber tired tractors before 35. My grandfather had them on his farm.
Please do away with the old film roll noise! Thankyou!🇺🇸🤪👍

but the steel cogged wheel aerated as you go, and had that nasty problem no valve stem and never going flat

drive one of these on asphalt to see the aeration effect of pointed teeth/cogs steel wheel

you started talking about the actual point of the tool not introducing air into the soil. now that's nuts.
My grandpa was a tractor bucket inventor from Virginia , so
Something wrong here, Pneumatic tyres were not fitted to tractors until the mid 1930's when Alliss-Chalmers experimented with aircraft tyres !
Looks like good year trying to claim. They were the first
I like how they typed the letter a second time with the ribbon removed.
I have a 10-20 McCormick like the last one in the film. To restore . It was tractor that my Great great great Uncle bought for the farm In 1936. its on Rubber too .

Firestone was "First in the field" And still is!
SUPER
So this is what it would have been like to watch a film in the 20's... if your head was jammed in the machinery of the projector and somebody was jack hammering the floor next to it. I can cross that "what if" off of my bucket list now!
Cool video, but the sound was unbearable!
+joel jensen thank goodness for volume controls!
That sound is the movie projector. Prior to Video, that's what you heard.
I wonder what those horses think about dragging thier food all over the place
like it reason history from tjb p.s old men slow,young men fast.
a two plow tractor could pull three on rubber
charles lalonde back then, weight was a issue, and steel tire treads could be changed to fit the job at hand and lasted longer, and as a bonus didn't catch fire! thet did however freeze to the ground.
I want t know about tractor history not tire history!
the kids today would run a mile if they had to drive them old girls in the dust
What if OSHA had been around at the goodyear plant rubber tires would never been invented, that poor man winding rubber on the wheel, damn wonder if he didn't get wond up in the contrapson.
Joe Tiller the best way
Terrible audio.
Dust Bowl
the sound is annoying!
They didn't have farm tractor tires till after 35. 20s my ass
terrible tractor drivers, none of them except the guy pulling the potato digger ever look back to see if anyone has fell off and went under the machine or if the machine is plugged up

JOE'S union jobs.
total BS
fuckin sound ...
