Been a long time since I saw a W-9 working in the field. My grand dad had one 60 years ago. They would take turns running it around the clock plowing. There were also a few other machines from my past in this video.
Hi Jason, like always thanks for this content. Very interesting to learn about handling corn residue from 50 years ago 👍
It's interesting to see these old machines still going and how much different things are now
well, you can be sure a modern combine won't still be running in 50 years.
@@l337pwnage ain't that the truth
Very good to see those old classic machines worked back in the past and how many trips it took across the land it took to prepare plant and harvest a crop
Great video! Love watching the antique farm equipment at work! That's what we had when I was on the farm! Thanks for sharing! Have a great and awesome day!
Brings back memories of cornstalks plugged between plow shares. They didn't always fall out easily...
I recall plowing with a 3 bottom pull type plow and getting it so plugged all three wheels of the plow were in the air. Believe it happened due to pure frustration. I was much younger then.
Great video on my bosses farm we run twin S780’s in our family farm we run New Holland TR’s it’s whole different world from little to big. What I’ve learned and come to appreciate in my experience is that bigger helps a lot but you can’t forget about how far farming has come from hand plows to automated tractors. Gotta love the classics
Great Vlog, It's good to compare the methods of the 1960 & 70s with todays methods, my observation is the major difference is the RAW horsepower available in todays machines providing the power to do multiple functions in one pass, thanks
It's amazing to see how far combines have come in this short of time from two rows to the big huge ones around here that have 16 rows it's just amazes me
Harvesting machinery is fascinating. We’ve come a long way, over the years.
However, when you know what tilling does to the soil microbes in the soil, no-till is the way to go. Erosion is an issue when you till, as well. That’s why our topsoil is so thin today compared to years past. Weed seeds are also brought to the surface to germinate, when you till.
If they could design a harvester that could also pull the stocks out of the ground and mulch them as a final step, it would be perfect. Let the worms and microbes do the rest.
I would encourage every farmer to read a book called “Teaming With Microbes,” by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis. It should be required reading for farmers, because it really gets into soil science. Then, experiment with it. Many farmers are switching to no-till.
Damn when you compare them side by side it makes modern farming look like cutting the grass
hay farmers: I cut grass.
Hemp farmers: so do i
It pretty much is, any modern farmer that says it's hard is full of shit lol
Beautiful machines, love the JD 830 with the duels
It has been a very long time the last time I farm. To see the old equipment bring a tear to my eye.
I saw one of the new JD X9's in a field last week. Massive. I think it's the biggest one they make now. It was impressive
I still get blown away by the fact that this machine at one time was state of the art. Incrediable how technology moves forward
Great video. Love vintage farming seeing how stuff it was compared to today.
The BIG Difference from Todays Equipment is THAT in the 1970's farmers WERE ABLE to buy the parts and FIX THE EQUIPMENT on the spot; WITHOUT alot of down time.
just don't see any MM harvesting equipment anymore Such a treat to see. Even I on the Tractor forums (NOT FB) see guys just handing out old Corn Pickers and MM Harvesters for free!!! Yeah, I picked up an old MM Sheller from a guy for nothing. Complete even. 1936 model. I'll take OLD Over new! Dispite the huge drop in Efficiency and comfortability. At least the "Made in USA" ones will last the good ole 100 yrs or more
Grandpa used to moldboard them in the spring. My dad prefers to disc dry stalks in the spring and plant soon after. Zero wind erosion from fall tillage if you don't do any.
Zach Johnson would love this he has a tractor made by Minneapolis
Great to see how the machines changed over the years👍😁
I love using the older equipment even though the modern doee help so much. Are there any modern farms that do plow under the residue with a breaking plow?
Sou fã de equipamentos antigos éra muito bem construído
Love these older equitment videos
Great thank you
We saw a Gehringhoff NorthStar Horizon SC head in operation. It would chop and windrow the stalks. Then the fodder coming out of the combine would drop on top. It made it pretty easy for us to round bale it later. I have seen some guys with either 20' or even 30' Hiniker flail windrowers doing similar.
Combines & other farm equipment have come a long way
Sometimes we would chop the stalks after pulling the ears off with a combine. I don't recall if we used it for bedding or what, tho. That was some time ago for me.
i wish you would show and explain the differences more, i.e. on the modern combine show the shredder rollers and how the cornstalk is pulled down through it versus the old rollers which pinched the ear off but the stalk was just drug through.
Enjoyed that, Thanks! Try to incorporate more of the "other brands" in your videos. Usually they are heavy Green.
wow what a difference a few decades make
Love these videos of the classics
I like filming the big new modern machines but finding these classics in action is very exciting.
Another great video
Great video!!
Back when I started out I picked corn on the ear with a one row New Idea picker and a D C Case tractor. I used what was known as a stock chopper, 8 ft wide with 4 blades that rotated as I drove through the field. It was a jarring experience as each blade hit the ground it would jolt the whole tractor.
Dam good video sod buster thanks.sam
Watched this video while combining soybeans. Nice footage Jason. I do appreciate the older equipment for sure!!👍👍
Thank you Scott. I hope your harvest is going well.
I would love to have a Minneapolis Moline tractor as I don't think I've ever seen one here in North Carolina. Also when did combines actually start chopping up the stalks?
How many of you old timers remember tieing a piece of number 9 wire to the rolling coulter to pull the corn stalks down to plow them under??
Until higher clearance plows were invented, plowing stalks was a pain!
I never saw anyone plow stalks that weren't chopped.disked before plowed with older low clearance plows.
i've asked a few guys to estimate what percent of power goes to run these modern headers (40ft) especially with the fine cut option.
Proud oldies!
😁👍
Combines are like a big lawn mower...
Used to pick corn with m farmall and mounted new idea picker would pick the field the way you wanted it plowed so stalks were bent same way as you were going with plow worked good never really had a problem plugging the plow
ชนกกกฟ๘ญก/กล
We just plowed them under never disked first or chopped.
And yes it was a pain in the butt.
Where I grew up in NY they always just plowed too. In IL and IA they shredded a bunch. Here in KY they shredded stale until the Wisheks arrived in 2003.
@@bigtractorpower people farm different around here even some still plow and disk, some chisel plow then disk, some disk only and some are no till.
All within 20 miles from where I live.
One channel I watch disked the ground then broadcast wheat with a fertilizer speader then harrowed it.
You see different of how people farm on yt.
😎 Comparisons!! Now, in your minds eye, picture a 1/2 century time line with all the tractors, harvesting, & tillage equipment. In "their" day, every new tractor, etc, was cutting edge. Necessity is the Mother of all inventions. So is "classic" machinery old?
You should get some footage of the shelling.
That’s great. Your video is posted on 10-10 and the video is 10:10👍🏽
😁👍👍
10:09
Thats why corn stalks were used as bedding for animals
Buen video 👌🤝
😁👍
they way it should be today
Ah yeah.... cornstalks. If I wasn't yanking a massive ball of those out of my Oliver Plowmaster, I was prying out a rock. Did luck out one time & pried out a round chunk of quartz that was about twice the size of a grapefruit. Not sure if the last glacier deposited that in my field or if it was a wise acre neighbor pulling a fast one. A neat find either way.
Why watch these videos if you gonna give it a thumbs down 🤔🤔🤔
No longer plow, and only chisel plow soybean ground for next years corn crop, usually leave the corn stalks alone or notill wheat into them.
What is model and brand of disc on 6:33
Nice handtool 😅😅😅
Can we get a pumpkin harvest ?
What kind of tractor was the little red one at 7:30 ? I couldn’t make it out. Looks like a bad ass little tractor right there.
It is an International W6.
Did I see a few Farmall 400's?
How come the farmer near me only mows stalks around the perimeter of the corn field? I never understood why.
easier on the Semi trailers
Guy at 7:29 is in get'r done mode
Throwing that dirt so fast he won’t need to disk to smooth it out
Stalks. Duals.
some of the one row corn heads mit work better in the down corn
First!
Could you get some constant equipment sometimes? Thanks Jason
All one brand? I would like to but these clips are from plow days so it’s the luck of the draw of what shows up to harvest and plow. I tried for a Moline and IH theme in the groups for this video. This is shipment that is very very rare to see working today.
@@bigtractorpower Sorry I meant *construction equipment* 😂😂😂 my bad man 👍
Jpaydirt is the one to watch
I can certainly try. I like vintage construction machinery. If I see I would film it.
@@bigtractorpower thanks much
Just think farmers do no till or very shallow till vs decades ago when ya were so deep til
Lots of passes and machinery eliminated and far less fuel used.
The stalks weren't nearly as strong 15 to 40 years ago as they are now a days.
Very true. Some of these stocks will last a few years out in the field.
And fungicides make them last even longer
That pro till didn't look like it was accomplishing anything.
It does a great job the size of the stocks it works the soil and makes a nice seed bed.
" classic corn harvest"
yet you devote 40% of the video showing off MODERN big equipment ?
"classic corn harvest"
about 30 seconds of " classic harvest " ?
No the second half show the classic methods and first half shows the modern way for comparison. About 5 minutes of each.
For the wages of Sin is Death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our lord. Romans 6:23
