My favorites are the 2 wheel drive open station tractors. I especially liked the Ford 8000, John Deere 4020 (my all time favorite John Deere model) and the Olivers. Growing up in the ‘70’s helping on the family farm where we only had 1950’s era gas tractors, I thought these tractors were really cool back then. In our area we had successful John Deere, Oliver, Ford and International dealerships, so we saw a lot of these tractors around, but seldom or never saw anyone working with Allis Chalmers or Molines.

Merry Christmas Jason and Big Tractor Power team! I missed the 2023 Half Century of Progress show due to work, but it's my favorite show. I look forward to the 2025 Half Century of Progress show. My favorite tractors of this video were all the John Deeres. Allis-Chalmers and Ford though brought back fond childhood memories.

Great video. Thanks for spending the time in the dirt getting close-ups and the hours & hours of editing necessary to get a finished product. We've plowed @ HCOP for quite a few years now. We were in your video with 4020, a 1206, an IH 450, and the 400/M piggy-back. For those that are watching, you should know it pulls very hard @ Rantoul. You usually don't bring your biggest plow. Hope to see everyone in '25!! Maybe it won't be quite as dusty. Thanks again - Ron

They look more like a farm tractor. I grew up back Then with those farm tractors. So i'm a lot more partial to those tractors.
