Tractor fenders are the original "buddy seat"... Well I think now I may have seen it all. That Deere 720 tandem with the dual's is absolutely wicked. Your Grandfather would be proud seeing his flagship tractor still in the field. Y'all had unique tractors for sure. The tandem Deere a propane Deere a 2 plus 2 IH and others. Not the best weather but I'll bet nobody minded...
Love the heard!! Even a few rare birds out there! But most of my fav is the ol u or ub minneapolis moline in her work clothes...lord rest his soul red thompson got me hooked on his moline collection
Hiya Brandon, unusual and cool to see the "crawler" plowing! Got pictures from my grandfather in Italy, he plowed with a Fiat track tractor 2 bottom plow. He lived in South Central Italy where the terrain was quite hilly, rubber tractors would flip and to get to different fields (few acres here and there), wheels wouldn't climb. He also hired out to few other farmers getting older. This was late 60s to mid 70s, before migrating to the states, Ohio. Totally different, he said they where like " Italian Hillbilly Amish " , still quite of few plowed with horses and mules, farmed to self sustained, the small fields where terraced. Though you would liked it a bit.
what a difference a day makes! still amazing but everyone looked pretty cold and wet! sew the rain drops in a few shots, must have been nice to have a cab over you. so both fields were done? that is a ton of plowing, it is great to keep the farming history alive!
4640 are a great tractor. Put many hours on one my boss had. Lots of field work, grain cart duty Hog shit tanker and a front blade. Quad range with fwa. Loved running that tractor. 2nd biggest only to the 8630 we had. Glad you have your grandpa's tractor
Although I did lots of moldboard plowing of my own this spring, I still enjoy watching it. It was nice to see those tractors of all brands out there proudly getting it done! Nice video.
Great video Brandon awesome to see the two John Deer’s hooked together. Wow that was a big change in weather. Hey how is Dad Strength liking his new deck hand job?
Is it any wonder farms used to be 40 acres? Imagine trying to plow 600 acres with two and three bottom plows. You would have needed a fleet of tractors to get anything done. It is cool to see the fleet of old tractors out there working though.
We farmed 325 A with Case 400 and MM 3-16 plow. Plowed every year; no no-till. 3.2 mph, 20 A per day on the best day. Usually 5 days to plow 80 A field. One other tractor for harrow and roller.
After spending some time in hospital recently I finally got to catch up with your videos. One question I have is does anyone run ploughing competitions in your area or in America? As over here in the UK and Ireland ploughing competitions are a big thing and have sections for classic to modern tractors and single to 8+ furrough ploughs. Where you get marks on how straight, how well furroughs match between runs and how well you ploughed the top under the soil (the more grass/stalks and junk on the surface the worse you get marked)
Hi Brandon good video I enjoy watching plowing. I’ve never had a chance to do it very rare where I live. Also glad to see you’ve recovered from being hacked scum should all be shot and pissed on. Just wanted say if you get a chance to do a short video on the twin tractors the 720/730 and the corn binders I would love to see it a little history on how they came to be and when they were used etc. Thanks for the great video.
Ran by tractor hydraulic, toggle switch in the cab. Pretty simple set up. Some ran better than others. Lot of the time it was a dirty valve body when they didn't perform good
I have noticed that the 30 series sound different when they are wide open they just don't sound like the 20 series it's like the have a smoother fast putt to them that was wide open
There were a few that came but didn't unload because it rained you just don't see many Fords or Massey tractors in our area and we even had a Massey dealer in town for years so I don't know why there aren't any I know of a few large tractors but no small ones
@@dirtgrainsteel Plus there is the argument out there that it is actually detrimental to good soil health. I don't know about that because not all soil is the same. Some soils respond to certain methods of tillage and some don't. You will have the research...
The "experts" claim moldboard plowing creates a hardpan that roots have a harder time going deeper through. I loved plowing, but tend to agree that chisel or v ripper creates a looser seed bed
Old AC plows were junk just like the round baler you bought and probably haven't experienced yet. My uncle always said " you cant even fix it because it's not broke just made that way Lol!
Nice to see some Oliver’s in there loved the two bangers good job with plowing by all parties
Love the D4 plowing
What a great channel! Thank you for taking the time to do this! Spent a lot of time on the 730 JD growing up, sure brought back memories
Thank you! I would like to have a 730 someday
Brandon watched the weather! That is why he brought the cab tractor!!😅😂🤣
Lots and lots of memories. Thank You
Awesome video thank you for coming.
Both days looked like that ground turned over nice. I like that you are keeping plowing alive to show what we used to do. Thanks for the videos.

hey thats me on the 60 narrow the little kid🤣
Nice to see the younger generation taking interest

Great story thanks for sharing!!
Glad the conditions were good today. Thanks for sharing!!

Another great video sir. Boy if someone would come up to me and say, which is your favorite? Guess would have to say, ALL OF THEM!! ❤
That was awesome. Thanks for the great videos. Love watching the dirt rolling. I'm already looking forward to next year.
Cool stuff to see, I also don't know Molines very well, but that looks like a UB
4640 are a great tractor. Put many hours on one my boss had.
Lots of field work, grain cart duty
Hog shit tanker and a front blade.
Quad range with fwa. Loved running
that tractor. 2nd biggest only to the
8630 we had.
Glad you have your grandpa's tractor
Wow, didn't expect to see a 2+2!
That farmer has a few of them.
I've never seen a crawler ploughing with one track in the furrow before. Kind soil easy ploughing so long as the moldboards scour OK.
Dan
Muscle tractors!!! And the Anteater to top off the field!
Great job videoing! I sure need to find me a pull type 2 bottom plow for my Farmall B!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Although I did lots of moldboard plowing of my own this spring, I still enjoy watching it. It was nice to see those tractors of all brands out there proudly getting it done! Nice video.
One thing about the two tractors , the guy in the back one doesn't have to steer
did dad need practice nice show miss that work
Great video Brandon awesome to see the two John Deer’s hooked together. Wow that was a big change in weather. Hey how is Dad Strength liking his new deck hand job?
Yeah them tractors are cool! Yeah the weather really surprised me!!....As far as I know he really likes it!
👌🤘🤘🤘
Oh I forgot I love that black dirt...
The 170 Allis Chalmers has the wrong plow. Should have either a mounted, or semi mounted, dial the TB in and let her fly
I know where there’s lots of old plow’s but I doubt whether you could get of them to scour

Dam i wish i could jump on one of them Johnny poppers grew up plowing on an old G with 3x16 Minneapolis plow. No hydraulics on plow trip hitch.
So what was up with the guy on the little Oliver right at the end?!!
He didn’t seem happy
Acted like he didn't want to be videoed.
Strange fella!! 😂
I think he was just really shy lol

If the fwa on the 4640 works can you make a video of using it and how it works with the hydraulics never seen one where it actually worked lol
Ran by tractor hydraulic, toggle switch in the cab. Pretty simple set up. Some ran better than others.
Lot of the time it was a dirty valve
body when they didn't perform good
Is that a drag harrow that's on the 2+2
Yes
You need to find a clay field for plow days. Let them tractors work.
that 830 was sure not hitting 1125 rpm. Wwren't they set up to run like the 730?
Answered my own question, yes they were but this one sounded like 1,000 at best..
I have noticed that the 30 series sound different when they are wide open they just don't sound like the 20 series it's like the have a smoother fast putt to them that was wide open
Hey Brandon can a 830 diesel keep up with a 4020 pulling 5 16's?
I'll bet it can them old 830's and 820's were stout tractors
How can u say the field is finished, the headlands aren't done yet. Why such big headlands? 🤔 need a rollover plow to do the headlands.
Three men operating Oliver tractors and a bunch of men who wish they were operating Oliver tractors!!
No Ford ,farmalls ,or massey, why?
There were a few that came but didn't unload because it rained you just don't see many Fords or Massey tractors in our area and we even had a Massey dealer in town for years so I don't know why there aren't any I know of a few large tractors but no small ones
Don’t think the guy on the Oliver tractor like being video. He slammed on the brakes real quick Didn’t he. Lol
Yeah idk what that was all about lol
Someone tell me how that 1850 Oliver can pull 6 bottoms…..
So farmers dont plow their fields now days like they used to??
Not like they used the chisel plow and disk ripper have taken the place of the plow some guys just no till

No gardens tractor plowing
On the last video, there's 2
Your going to wear out the steering wheel quit oversteering
