A good friend of mine had one of these in the woods. His dad put it back there many years ago. My friend said he remembers it being on a tractor before his dad bought it. It's been back there in the woods for a very long time. Very cool to see one assembled and in action! Thanks for sharing.
Grew up using a Farmall F30. Beast of a tractor, greastest stump puller. After my dad passed away, I didnt have time to restore it so I sold it to one of his friends who restores old tractors and takes them to shows. I didnt want to see it wither away setting in the barn. But when I pulled it out the day he came to get it, I wanted to start it again. Wow, how did I ever hand crank that thing when I was a kid. Great powerful tractor. Love the sound that ole straight exhaust made.
thanks for the video and keeping the old machinery alive. One row mounted picker is kind of neat, but I don't think that'd be fun to operate on hilly land.
Next time if you could film it from the drivers point of view, plus I would love to see some close ups of how this beauty works, and an off load would be cool.
And here I thought I'd seen just about everything in tractors and implements. Beautiful restoration! What the heck were the engineers thinking? I agree with Mark Lynskey below: it looks like a rollover waiting to happen! But what a cool piece. Thanks for showing me something old that's new :-)
Looks like it could tip over easy when fully loaded!! Very cool never seen one before

I've never seen one of those! Thank you for posting!!!
Looks like it just came from the show room! Awesome video!
Never knew they had something like that for the old F20s
Beautiful machine.

I have a custom built model by EV WEBER. It's on steel. And also a pull type made by him as well.
Very cool. Never seen one of those before

IT runs great .
I have seen farmers take those bins and turn them into feed bins in barns.
That's pretty cool
Okay for flat ground. Probably not so good for side hills.
They were definitely not the safest on side hills according to my late neighbor. He tipped one when he was younger.
Come on get that thing on some steep hills!
neat restoration but not good on terraces
Wouldn't work in the hill country.
