I like it too , its fun get's your mind of the thing's going on in the world , the world is going to hell in a hand bag all the crazy crap going on ! I have never seen thing's like this before !
These tractors were ahead of there time. All diagnostics could be done with the instrument panel. No laptop needed. Ford needed a good tractor to stay in the game. These tractors delivered.
I used to work for a farmer when I was young and drove a 8970 set on 30" rows. It would pull with a John Deere 8400 he also had but would not turn with it. The 8970 also had super steer. I liked driving both until you turned around. We was pulling 20' 3 point chisel plows extra deep 5 mile an hour. Keep the great videos coming. I like mobrord plowing but I like all tractors.
I remember those plowing days as well. It was what everyone did for tillage. I am always excited to get s chance to feature plowing especially with a classic like a FORD plow.
I love farming even tho i never make money doing it , !!!!! and I love doing hay , have 27 ac of hay this yr and some corn field's growing cow's to feed people , ! I love this guys vids watch them all the time !! thank u buddy for all u do !!!!!!!
I remembered seeing the commercials on TV back in the late 1990s for the Ford-New Holland Genesis tractors. I saw one several years ago back home. My dad and uncle had a Ford 5000 tractor that they used for herbicide spraying for pine trees.
Beauitul soil Jason.Remember when the Genesis 70 Series were introduced back in 1993.Innovative tractors with sidewinder console & unique front wheel drive setup
They're nearly 30 years old and still impressive. I think that they caught other manufacturers off guard with 55 gallons per minute hydraulic flow. Pretty much double the norm for 1993.
It is a cool set up. This farm also has the 4880 on the 10 bottom IH 800 I featured last month. He attends Rantoul. He built the 20 bottom plow the Rite 750 pulls.
I got a buddy I help and he has a ford 8670 2wd and 8870 fwd and used to have a 8770 fwd but that was traded on a t8.390. the genesis tractors are a great cheap to use tractor and fairly cheap to buy them too.
@bigtractorpower I will have to send you a pick of the newest edition to our farm it's a 2016 54d cvt boomer with a 250 ls loader but we have added a self leveing valve like the Kubota la loaders have so its pretty nice ....we traded off our big deere 6200 with 640slhl loader on it I guess you can say we are finally down sizing
Real nice looking tractor still. I ran a Ford 8670 4 wheel drive when it was new, it pulled 7-18" bottoms with no problem- not in soil quite like that but decent clay. That series tractor was way under rated and ahead of the rest of the market in comfort and features at the time.
I think that this combo is doing a good job especially in the dark dirt, I would like to see how it works in some red dirt with some hills involved it would definitely be different, nice video.
All the tractors on our beef cattle ranch are fords. We have an 8n, a 1965 Ford 5000 and a 90s 7710 we got recently. Also we have an old john deere 544a front end loader.
The 8n was my great grandpa's. It seen better days it's just sitting in a garage in pieces. It's kind of obsolete now. My dad's mower probably can out cut it.
I look at the red clay here in Kentucky where I live that with lots of fertilizer turns out 220-240 bu corn in a good year. I often think of that IL soil was here in the southern climate the corn would be over 300 bu. Easy.
@@bigtractorpower they fit great in the orchard and the smaller two are almost bullet proof the bigger T5070 has more electronic issues..I’d say dealer support in our area is the biggest issue with them
@@bigtractorpower right, with a reversible plow we also have springs/cylinders that move the the shank when there’s a stone and you can work faster than juste a molboard plow
190hp on a 2wd tractor like that with those small tires up front that’s crazy! Still can’t wrap my head around the fact that so many American farmers aren’t using a turning plow. Turning on headlands takes a couple secs but damn, why not? Especially with these gigantic American fields. Travel distance to the returning fur adds up!
@@bigtractorpower i have been plowing corn stalks for a decade with our 6 furrow Kverneland turning plow in crazy tough Dutch polder clay. No idea what the single frame plow brings to the table really the turning plow is heavier too.. granted our corn stalk is for dairy silage but still...
@@nellsonstout7001 we’ve been running a turn plow on our 40 year old Renault and 35 year old Lamborghini tractors. The stress is on a piece of iron with the cost of nothing to replace. If anything the stress is on the cylinders which aren’t exactly expensive to replace either. Nah I’m not buying it why not use a turn it saves SO much on diesel costs.
I didn't know they made them in 2WD. I am a big fan of 2WD tractors . I have 3 2WD tractors a 1989 IMT 539 39hp; a1990 Massey Ferguson 3070 92hp; 2004 John Deere 5320 64hp.
Hey big tractor power love the videos it would be cool if you would go and check out some of my plowing videos that I Uploaded recently and also I'm curious why no one up North runs a plow like we do down here in Texas where you can run 2 duals not just 1.
2wd tractors were very common here until about 30 years ago. FWA was not even a common option until the early 1980’s. The tractor in this video is mainly used to plant corn with a 24 row corn planter. If the ground is even slightly wet it’s not good plant corn so 4wd is not needed. When it comes to plowing is a slow process so all tractors on the farm get used. This farm has 4 articulated 4wds over 400 hp. Those are the main tillage machines. This 2wd model is just an extra helper.
Best tractor Ford ever built. I had a 8970 and loved it.
😁👍👍👍

The Genesis is a sold tractor. Right up there with a Box Car Magnum and Deere Sound Gard.
Finally some blue!!! I like how you also brought in the Cat part that is something not a lot of people know!
I am always on the look out for blue. I thought the Cat 35 was something people might like to see.
@@bigtractorpower never knew the cat was a ford cab. Thanks for that piece of information!

When I saw the black Soil turned over my heart is So happy 😊!
What an amazing looking tractor! Love the two wheel drive
😁👍
Just goes to show you don't need 4wd all the time.....sometimes it gets you into trouble
Glad to see some New Holland Tractors on here Plowing. I remember as a Kid in the 70s & 80s everybody Plowed. Now it is a Lost Art..

Old powerful Ford tractors runs....runs...runs....💪💪💪💪
They're nearly 30 years old and still impressive. I think that they caught other manufacturers off guard with 55 gallons per minute hydraulic flow. Pretty much double the norm for 1993.

2wd tractors are so rare in my area, I don't think I've ever actually seen one in person
These are awesome tractors, always wanted one!
That soil look's fantastic.
Central, IL has some good soil.
It would even look better at closing time!
I got a buddy I help and he has a ford 8670 2wd and 8870 fwd and used to have a 8770 fwd but that was traded on a t8.390. the genesis tractors are a great cheap to use tractor and fairly cheap to buy them too.
Very nice.
We have 3-8670 and 2-8970. One of the 8670 has 32,000 hours only rebuilt once those tractors run and run.
Impressive. That is a real testament to the Genesis.
That 5.0 genius is an amazing engine ...........quite possibly the best ford engine ever built and lasts forever
They are well built long lasting tractors.

I've always liked New Holland tractors. They have a few unique Trax designs
The T9 on tracks really stands out.

Nice work.
That's a cool combination that you don't see everyday, thanks for sharing.
😁👍👍
Love to see some blue power in the fields!!
Me too. I am always on the hunt for blue.
I think it's cool to see the old style plows in the dirt
Not too often do we see them being used anymore
I like featuring old school plowing every chance I get.

That's some dark soil. I remember driving past it when I was trucking.
It’s a great region for growing corn
Good job finding that 2wd!! Would love to have a genesis series tractor. All of ours are older.
I am a Ford tractor Fan and I’m always on the lookout for them. I really want to find a 9000 and TW 35 to film.
I didn’t know that about the Cat tractors. Now that I know, I do see a resemblance in styling. Interesting!
It is interesting. It is all Genesis inntbe hood and cab. CAT tracks and engine.
Same here, I never knew myself.
We are farming with a 8970 New Holland and a F-140 Fiat. Both really good machines capable of great work.
Very cool. I hope to travel down a Fiat Genesis sometime.
FORD BLUE.AWESOME.
Great to see some blue machines😁👍 the soil looks very nice👍😉

Cool vid Jason. It's a little surprising how much moldboard plowing we see on UA-cam. I thought Moldboard plowing was on its way out. Well huh!
This was a really good year for me and the people to help me film in finding some cool tractors plowing. There are still pockets where it’s popular
I was thinking the same thing. It does seem that there are many moldboard videos this fall.
Depends on the ground and it's required tillage.
Great Vlog thanks for sharing
😁👍

We have a ford 3910 series II front wheel assist as a utility tractor on our hobby farm. Great machine.
Nice tractor. 😁👍
Wow that is osum 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Aaaah 🤩🙂🙂🙂🙂
Turning those stalks under are really going to make that soil good and soft when they break down.
😁👍
Now there is a blue bull, looks so nice in 2 wheel drive, thanks for showing Ford tractors
I like finding high horse power 2wds. They stand out.
I like them too, I have a 2wd 8870 that is a beast.
Big fan of the genesis. My old man has a 8870 New Holland ford.
😁👍👍
Our farm all but 2 tractors run on Ford and New Holland tractors and some equipment. They are nice machines with no complaints.
Very cool.
That's some beautiful soil
😁👍
Oooooh a 2 wheel drive genesis no less. I’ve never seen a 2 wheeler in person but my cousins own an FWA 8870
And a FWhite plow too😍
This was a good find the farm that I showed recently with a Massey Ferguson 4880 plowing has this 8770 as well.
bigtractorpower nice nice. Illinois has been kind to BTP lately
Nice seeing some Blue stuff! Would like to see some more Ford New Holland tractors in future videos 🙂
Me too. There are some more on the way. I am always looking for Ford. It is harder to find.
Very cool Jason. Really enjoying these plowing videos very much. GO BTP💪💪
😁👍👍
I’m curious. What are those tanks being pulled behind the cat challenger tractor’s plow?
That’s not a plow it’s an anhydrous applicator. And the white tanks are full of anhydrous which is a form a nitrogen
Anhydrous ammonia
@@jamesharrier6633 oh that’s weird. It’s smart though
@@pqworks9019 that's our lowest cost form of nitrogen on this side of the pond.
Would you consider doing some "reaction" videos we send you in the comments and talking about the equipment in the video?
Have you got videos of old case tractors
I have a love/hate relationship with our three New Holland’s a TN95F, T4050F and a T5070 all orchard configurations
What’s good and what’s bad ?
@@bigtractorpower they fit great in the orchard and the smaller two are almost bullet proof the bigger T5070 has more electronic issues..I’d say dealer support in our area is the biggest issue with them
Why is there a preference for molboardplows in the US instead of reversible plows?
The spring re sets for stones and the higher clearance for plowing corn.
@@bigtractorpower right, with a reversible plow we also have springs/cylinders that move the the shank when there’s a stone and you can work faster than juste a molboard plow
At 2:28, did I see a teaser of what’s to come?
I have at least two years worth of unshown footage to use yet and that is on the current schedule of releasing a video every day.
bigtractorpower jeez Louise Jay!
Good looking ole Blue

What is your favorite caterpillar tractor. Mine is the caterpillar 65 first generation
The 95E.
What is the spacing between the plows?
It’s a 6-18
@@bigtractorpower Thanks! Love your vids!
I hope you wear a mask around that anhydrous. Btw I love the blue tractors thanks for the video

Nice plowing on some pretty tough ground. Looks like he's plugged a few times but he's in some pretty heavy trash.
do you not have reversable ploughs over there?
They are used in the south west in the desert. Most plows that were sold in the United States corn belt were like this Ford.
nice tractor
😁👍
Wow nice Nw , not bad and the soil is "Black" why ? Probably for corn ?
This land was grass and marsh until the 1850’s. It was cleared and went into grain production. Some of the richest soil in the United States.
@@bigtractorpower ah, Ok thank you ! Its a old field !
Yes I have a Ford 5000, tw20, 8770, and a cr9040 combine
Very nice. The TW20 is s Tractor you don’t see too often these days. I hope to film the whole TW range someday.
Sure looks like great corn land
It is a good area for corn.
In europe we have them with 40k 18 speed powershift
Interesting to know of a difference between the regions.
the farm i help on has 3 new hollands T8 235 an T6070 and a T5070 they also have an International 5288 and a Case 2094
Very nice line up.
Plow wheels. You don’t see that very much. Especially in my area where we rotate our plows at the end of the field.
Roll over plows are popular in the desert south west. Regular plows were the main choice in the mid west from the 1920s through today for tractors.
Why would you need 18 reverse speed?🤔
Vegetable harvesting. The tractor May run a harvester in reverse to harvest cauliflower and have to run extremely slow.
Why did it have one side of twins wheels
I talk about that in the video right after the specifications. It is called a plowing dual it adds ballast and traction. .
If he’s got Trimble why doesn’t he use it to keep his line straight?
What a coincidence, on the Fb Ford/NH group someone posted a Cat35 in blue with NH decals couple days ago.
Wow that would be neat see.
Cool we had a 8600 with 5 x16 neighbor had 8700 with 5x 16
Very nice. I like 8000s and 8600s allot. I featured a 9600 last year.
Where are u from?
2wd on these tractors looks so strange like the 2wd JD 7Rs lol
I like the 2was. They are unique.
Yes they are neat tractors. Keep up the good vids man I love watching them
I'm wearing a big grin 😀
Thank you for watching.
That’s prime farm ground there.
Central IL has some of the best soil in the United States. It grows corn very well.
I don't think those tractors got the credit they deserved.
I agree.
They Don’t. They’re one of the most reliable electronic tractors. In my eyes, the holy trinity is the boxcar Magnum, Genesis and 8000 series deere
Definitely don't have dark soil like that here in Central NC!
Not here in Kentucky where I live either. Central, IL is prime ground for corn.
Seems quiet as a mouse inside that cab.
I had that same thought
It’s a nice ride.
that's a ford 152 plow not a 151 the 151 was a little lighter plow the 152 was the white 549
We got 8870 and 8970
Very nice.
Hey big tractor power love the videos it would be cool if you would go and check out some of my plowing videos that I Uploaded recently and also I'm curious why no one up North runs a plow like we do down here in Texas where you can run 2 duals not just 1.
Did the white company paint their plows for Ford? Those plows are like j.i. case plows in the 70's!
Yes I mentioned that in the video they were built in South Bend Indiana by WFE for Ford. WFE built the Case 700 and 500 plows as well.
