I grew up on a dairy farm in southern Minnesota. We had a 720 diesel, my god the memories hearing yours run. Thank you. I am very impressed with Tim he's a hell of a man.
Watching this brought back a lot of memories . I remember helping my uncle Henry Becker , He had the dairy on the corner at Spring Mills . Just across & up a little from Johnny's ice cream . He had a Ford 6000 , the 1 that was recalled . He would bale all day . We would run 3 or 4 wagons to keep ahead of him stacking bales in the barn . Think you might be too young to remember him & his wife Francis , They had 2 sons Buch & Larry . Maybe you went to school with them . Others you might know the Trouts Bernie . Also Charley Manning , in High Bridge . Might know the Bishops grocery ? Owner of Ford dealer French Town Ditchmond Ford , moved to Flemington Steve Kaliffer Spelling probably wrong I am the guy that lived in White House Station ( flat woods section ) Back then I can remember 50 + deer herds when hunting . Love watching & trying to figure out were your farming & how things have changed there . Chris
Great to see the old equipment out in the field. Other tractors of that time period had live-PTO: our 1955 Ferguson TO35 as well as the 1952 Allis-Chalmers WD with its hand-lever wet-clutch.
Nice to see the 720 doing a bit.. I was very touched by the story of your grandfather, it reminded me a lot of me because I also have a bad heart. I've been told by my doctor that I'm not to do any heavy lifting, and I'm also permanently signed off work witch like your grandfather I find very hard to cope with been that I've always been a worker..
i always love hearing the old johnny popper , my grandpa bought a 730 brand new in 1959 and we still have it , and baling is what it does best ,we have a green baler i think it's a 140
I've found the same thing in 30 years of baleing hay . If the baler works don't F with it. Small adjustments and Small maintenance. Sometimes they need a crescent wrench and a bar to get knitter adjustments 🤷♂️. I can say I do love our 570 new holland. It's been great for us and as well we bought it used on my birthday on July 29th 2017 . Funny how that works out in life. Ill forget its my birthday but never forget when i got that baler 😆 🤣 Also welcome to my world . We own a horse boarding stable for the last 35 plus years and the people are very picky. 😅
As a teenager we still used bailing wire. Pick up each bail and set up on the hay wagon and my brother stacked the bails on the wagon. Then moved them all again into the hay barn. Fun times. Wish I had the strength I did back then.
Thanks for talking farm history I'm sure it's still painful for you. Love the old school Johnny Popper . Shame Tim doesn't want to farm in maybe a smaller way. You can tell he enjoys it. Great video Wes !!! Take care and have a good week.
thanks for the stories. The part about home hit me....... I grew up on a dairy farm and would have loved to always call it home, but the farm was sold while I was in the military and there was nothing to come home to. The military changed my whole prospective anyway... I guess.... not sure if I could have just settled back on the farm after that adventure.
It was refreshing to see old school equipment getting the job done, and thanks for sharing about your grandfather, I could tell that it meant something to you, I enjoyed the video, have a good one!!
I love the 2 cylinders to. The ‘56 420 my grandpa bought in ‘62 is still with us. Grandpa isn’t around anymore, and it has since been restored. Needs some touch up work to the paint, but it runs like a top. He planted corn with a mounted 2-row planter, they had a 7’ mounted rake for it. We used it to feed heifers for a number of years. I bought myself a 420T, also a ‘56. It runs, but needs some clutch work and some leaks sealed off.
Les, your commentary is absolutely perfect, love your videos and the sarcasm and everything else that comes with it, Tim looks like he enjoys it too haha thanks for all you guys do!
We baled for many many years with a John Deere 336 with pan kicker. Was never around the belt type throwers. No idea which one was better. I do know for a short while New Holland offered the JD pan kicker (painted red) a long time ago on there balers.
Gd day from Ontario. We have horse & buggy neighbours 1 Sunday they rented JD baler with pan kicker for diving board. Ths Yea they aren't being used any more I don't think; Ths
We had a 435 international with the six roller thrower. The old man would say it was better than the Deere balers but the few neighbors that had the Deere and pan thrower had picture perfect bales compared to the ugly ones we had. We always had the bales a little loose because of fear that they might heat if a little too wet. We baled thousands of bales each year and the wagons were unloaded by my uncle, cousins, a few neighbor kids and my sister and I while dad baled
@@strong40 G day Was 435 a good baler. Up yrs ago IH 45, poor 46 little better but I thin k by then NH kinda took over. NH & JD knotters were similar style. Ths
Tell Tim to go clockwise around the field with a small square baler! He’s going the wrong way 😂 if it was an in-line baler it don’t matter but that baler always turn to the right to keep hay in the pickup
Holy cow I waited so long for this video! Making hay 2 cylinder style!!!! Thank you so much Wes pandy, love to hear that old iron work! I run a 1955 ford 600 series tractor and it sips on fuel too! Holy cow Tim’s but crack lol. I was laughing my butt off when time ran to get the belt that jumped off! Love that old iron! Have a great rest of your day Wes. It’s hot here in Texas 100 plus days
I had a JD 338 baler and it was a great baler. I kept it maintained and it didn’t set out in the weather. After baling season it was put in the barn. I made money with that machine. Square baling just caught up to my age and I just couldn’t handle it after I was 73 year old. I use and accumulator and grapple but at some point I still ended up man handling them. People are still willing to pay more for the small squares. However I have converted several over to round bales.
I worked that wagon many times when I was younger. Stacking bales onto the hay wagon you needed to be quick on your feet to keep from falling. The few times I was left to drive the tractor, I kept breaking a pin or bolt on the baler... Yep, I was better stacking! 😃
New subscriber here. I love what your doing. I just finished making 200 idiot bricks with my late father's mm 445 and his old case 200 bailer. Lol. Heading out to cut more this evening. The story about your grandpa is very similar to my dad's death. God bless. Thanks for continuing the tradition.
Wes, this is another great video... just like old times there Wes (your older videos) and you included a "story time" in it a well - I look forward to the next one
My Grandpa owns a section for the ranch and a quarter section up in New Mexico that he used to grow alfalfa ad bale idiot blocks every year for his cows and he would sell some to other ranchers The baling tractor was a John Deere 3020 diesel, I don't know what model the small John Deere was that he pulled the planter and the rake with. He hasn't been able to do much in the last few years due to health. He's 90 next summer.
Kids of this generation wouldn't know how it is to pick up hay by hand 👏 all summer stack it then unload and then restack it for a quarter or less 😢😢 I don't miss picking them up by ✋
Sorry about your grandpa Wes my dad died from a massive heart attack 26 years ago I was working out of Albany Missouri on a hog farm when my sister came to Tell me he had died I never went back to the hog farm been taking care of moms and watching over her after dad died I promised him that I would 😢😢😢
Awesome video mr. Wes I have similar story bout my grandad but it was a massive stroke me and my cousin caught him so he didnt fall hard but it was during our Christmas party that yr
@ronlarson2561 1945 the Cockshutt model 30 came out with LPTO first in field use. Oliver came out with LPTO in 1947. So was Oliver the first? Or just first by sales?
@@ronlarson2561 If you want to talk about the first real use of PTO power when an engine is running, lets talk about steam power. All you wrote was Oliver was the first to have live PTO. And it was not.
@@ronlarson2561 According to the internet that I just looked at. International Harvester Company was the first to produce a tractor with live PTO in 1918 and it was model 8-16. And the last time I checked, IHC was a US company. And we can still add steam power to the list, as a belt drive is infact a PTO drive from the engine. And have a nice day.
You should get all the old tractors out that we haven't seen in years. 4320, Ms, both 60s, the 730. We miss those old girls.
Thanks for keeping it real, your authenticity is refreshing
Stupid bot
I love it that you’re using that tractor. It’s way more fun to watch than new tractors.
I grew up on a dairy farm in southern Minnesota. We had a 720 diesel, my god the memories hearing yours run. Thank you. I am very impressed with Tim he's a hell of a man.
Thanks Wes, Tim, Grant !
Enjoyed the video. Brought back memories of many years ago.

Just something soothing about watching an a JD hopping and popping along and bales flying into a ffailer.
Always good to see the old iron working brings back some good memories
I enjoyed watching Tim run that old unit. It really was entertaining....👍 And so was your dialogue.
not a thing wrong with the tractor or the bailer nice to hear that nice old tractor running again.
Wow! thanks so much for showing what the Old machines still can do/as well as all your commentary thanks so much. WES
Absolutely a treat to hear an old horse working! Great video
What a great video, you deserve to have many real friends, you are a very genuine down to earth guy
Best Wishes from Tasmania
Nice! I know, I do the same thing...my JD model B, purchased while in highschool- 1980, and a 24t burned up some time....but I loved it.
Looks mighty good that old John Deere pulling a kick baler brings back memories from Gary
We never had the kicker on our baler pulled the wagons behind the baler and hand stacked all the loads when I was on the farm as a kid
This brings back a lot of memories.
By 1956 when the 720 had come out, International had offered live PTO for a few years. IH also invented the PTO :)
Rubbish
i always love hearing the old johnny popper , my grandpa bought a 730 brand new in 1959 and we still have it , and baling is what it does best ,we have a green baler i think it's a 140

I was thinking your old video with this 720 baling a couple weeks ago, awesome!
Grant looks like "Eb" from Green Acres.
Thanks for sharing your videos, wishing you and your family the best.

When I was a kid I had to stack those bales, I got good at avoiding being hit by a bale.
glad to see these old style videos with story time
Nothing better in the world than the sound of and old two banger ,, I have a 720 just like yours but mine is a pony start 💪💪💪😎😎
his 720 is a pony start too
What a beautiful sound
Thanks for sharing the story about your grandpa, Wes

Touching story about Your Grandpa...
Love these story’s Wesley. Pretty sure you gave me the key to that old 78-79 ford lol. Tim really does like that tractor he likes the old stuff
Thanks for your explanation on over greasing the knitters. I needed an explanation
Another great vid! Good to see old iron working!

Have a great rest of your day Wes.
It’s hot here in Texas 100 plus days
Great video poor old Tim Blue Moon Rising
So Wes made a video asking people not to say shit like that, and here you are you fuckin retard.

Like hearing the old 2 cylinder run dad had a 60 and 70 and 620
The oval muffler for a 730 diesel is what you want for your tractor since yours looks like a late 58 720.
Nice to see old iron in the field! Maybe we can see the 4010 doing some bailing!
Holy cow I wasn’t expecting that! 🤣But bring back lot of bailing memories.
The wife should always be the best friend 😉😉
Nothing beats the sound of an old two cylinder John Deere at work. Hope to see more of the 720 and maybe the 5020??
That thrower is some machine lol 😂
Thanks you Wes pandy! Love to hear that old iron work, read my other comment!
Wish to see more videos with old iron in them soon!
Tim loves it
That's awesome thanks for the video
Sounds good Wes
I like listening to old 720 too,
Freaking awesome old school
New subscriber here. I love what your doing. I just finished making 200 idiot bricks with my late father's mm 445 and his old case 200 bailer. Lol. Heading out to cut more this evening.
The story about your grandpa is very similar to my dad's death. God bless. Thanks for continuing the tradition.
Wes it good that your using some of your older tractors.
Wes, this is another great video... just like old times there Wes (your older videos) and you included a "story time" in it a well - I look forward to the next one
Tim with a small aquare baler u drive clock wise!!!😂 always
no you dont
That’s awesome bale with the old John Deer
wonderful!
yea Tim!! keeping it old school!
Love that sound
The other problem with the new Holland was that little wheel on the pick up , it would run over hay and you can’t pick it up.
our neighbor had his 720 narrow out Sat. Chrome straight pipe!
100% with you on that
You're turning sentimental in your golden years Wes. Nice video, we used to put up 20,000 idiot bricks in the 80's.......all 5x6 rounds now.
Nice work have a good day Sir.
I always loved raking and baling with the two cylinder Deeres
Enjoyed the video. The camera you use works great
Fun old school video Wes.
Makeing that old Johnny popper bark sometimes
Nothing better than a 2 lunger
One question why does Timmy Bale the field back wards or the Australian way turn left
My Grandpa owns a section for the ranch and a quarter section up in New Mexico that he used to grow alfalfa ad bale idiot blocks every year for his cows and he would sell some to other ranchers
The baling tractor was a John Deere 3020 diesel, I don't know what model the small John Deere was that he pulled the planter and the rake with. He hasn't been able to do much in the last few years due to health. He's 90 next summer.
Wish Tim would have interest in taking over after you retire. You can see he loves tractors and growing crops.
Tim's got a bad weight problem. He needs to get the under control otherwise he is going to run into serious health problems.
good job
Looks like success!
I can relate, I have no real friends, only 1 or 2 neighbors I'd help and barely that many family I deal with.
The crack seen around the world
Good video.
Looked light. We might have been in 3rd in that 2nd field.
I love making hay with my 720 diesel
Love it.... Spins the fast enough with those low rpms?
Kids of this generation wouldn't know how it is to pick up hay by hand 👏 all summer stack it then unload and then restack it for a quarter or less 😢😢 I don't miss picking them up by ✋

Baled a lot of hay with my 730 diesel, before I got the 4020.
International that vintage would have live power also
Awesome video mr. Wes I have similar story bout my grandad but it was a massive stroke me and my cousin caught him so he didnt fall hard but it was during our Christmas party that yr
I would love to see you use a krone baler on that two cylinder tractor
That crack was wider than the fenders
Sounded like you stepped on field mouse or something about the 3:15 mark.😂
HAHHAH I heard it too....
Oliver was the first to have live pto. 😊

Live pto is a tractor that you can step in clutch and the pto stays running
