Thanks for the video and the memories. It is great to see all the old tractors and hear those old two cylinder John Deeres. It sure brings back a lot of memories of the good old days.

I could watch these old tractors and equipment all day and would if was not 15 hours away. I want to make it one day.

+Terry Presnal (TerrellFarms1) The Half Century of Progress Show is worth the trip.

[@fergie35X]

Thanks for that, Great video. Good to see so many classics working.

[@bigtractorpower]

+fergie35X The Half Century of Progress Show is an awesome event for tractor fans. We have combines shelling corn, tractors plowing, crawlers plowing and Prairie tractors plowing videos that will be added to the Big Tractor Power channel soon.

Heck, Terry, I drove from Downeast Maine (East of Bar Harbor) to see it! Great show, you really should try to make it.

[@mfreund15448]

I tried to make it this year but could not. Thanks for sharing!

[@defuse56]

Wonder how old the picker at 13:15 is? It must have been made before they developed the later arrangement of the elevator, eh? Very cool!

[@oldfarmshow]

Thank you for the Video

[@cletusschaub4398]

These are beautiful I ran. A 1940 B with 1 pr international picker !

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@SuperMidnightrider]

I should do this at my farm, I could get my crops harvested and fields plowed and people would pay to watch and participate.

[@dancaszatt7573]

What are the row spacing?

[@bigtractorpower]

38 inches.

[@BrianDHoefs]

I would imagine 36 inches.

[@stovepipe9er]

What happens with the full cobs after they're picked?

[@defuse56]

You can either grind them up on the cob for feed, or you can shell them. And if you want to take it a step further, you can run them through a hammermill, which gives you ground kernels as feed.

[@robert11751]

those dry cobs make good ass wipers carry a couple in your overalls

[@andynieuwenhuis7833]

​@@robert11751In some Places they were used in wood stoves for heat and cooking.

[@davidbutler7290]

these old tractors had a style of their own not like the ones of today where they look all the same

[@IrishArse100]

This is what I like to see. Classic tractor guys bring there classics to shows and put them to use in the fields. They still use them for what they were built for. Classic car guys only bring there cars out a few times a year to show off at car shows park the there and not use them for anything else. The cars are a wasted collection.

[@gaugebrady5416]

1:39 look at the weights on that thing

[@bigtractorpower]

They are ready for work.

[@robert11751]

lol what a waste of time using that old one roll picker 7:23
