My father, in the late 1950's, bought a used John Deere chopper just like the one in your video. When I was old enough, about age 15 or 16 and he was confident in my ability, he allowed me to do the chopping with it. We used it another year or two until about 1968 or '69, but by then it was obsolete and worn so badly that he upgraded to a used later model Deere . Both those old choppers are still here, parked in our machinery graveyard.
Thank you for appreciating farm families! We are a multi-generational family farm and ranch. We have a family-friendly UA-cam channel and we just released a video of chopping our silage! We would love for you to check it out! ua-cam.com/video/lE3Yi-_cB4A/v-deo.html
Thanks for the memories of the good old days. I spent many hours on a JD "B" cultivating corn in Wabasha county in the 50s but we did not have a silo so there was no chopping corn silage. Our ear corn was harvested one row at a time with a New Idea picker pulled by an IHC "M" while I shuttled wagons with the "B".

Thanks for sharing a historical video it was short but it was great to watch, and now what's scary is now framers today are having much bigger machines to chop corn with. But people like me ain't ganna forget of their legacy what they done to/ for the place/ how they worked together.
During my high school years (late '70-ish) I worked on various dairy, chicken, and beef farms in Ohio & then central Missouri Ozark regions. Had a lot of fun, the farmers wives made us some great chow, and several times was paid $200.00 - $300.00 for a week's part-time work. The older I get the more I appreciate those days (yep, we had party-line phones & leaded gas & American Bandstand!).

Excellent video! Wish we would have done this through the years of our family farming.

The real work starts when you have to pitch it out
That was so awesome to watch how they did that back then
How times have changed
I don't remember it as hard work, it was a whole lot easier than pitching bundles in a silo filler.
People don’t know what hard work is, 1 row at a time 1 wagon at a time!!! That’s hard work wew!!!! 💪

@@CountyLineCowpokes I definitely will👍
Great video of chopping corn silage. Those old 2 cylinder John Deere tractors will run longer than the USA will be a sovereign country.
Thanks for saving and sharing this historical film. It’s short, but great.
Good times 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Minneapolis Moline U and looks like a John Deere B and a bunch of manpower. It was a simpler time but the job still got done.
