The old 504 sounds great under load. I just love those Minneapolis Moline tractors.

Those MM’s are tough tractors, love seeing them work.

some of us don't like music on tractor videos. We love the sound of the equipment working!

I was an employee in the engine development group at the dyno lab at the Lake St Facility in Mpls when this tractor was originally built. I loved this model.

love the old g 1000 great old tractors especaly the deisels

The G1000 was produced by Minneapolis-Moline during the 1960s. The exact production years may vary depending on the specific model and variations within the G1000 series.The Minneapolis-Moline G1000 typically featured a three-point hitch for attaching and using implements. The three-point hitch is a standardized system for mounting and controlling attachments on the rear of the tractor.It came with a Power Take-Off (PTO) system, enabling the tractor to power various implements and machinery, such as plows, mowers, and balers.

a diesel g1000 was my big tractor in 79 on my minnesota dairy farm.

When I was a little kid my Dad's biggest tractor was a Farmall 560 with about 60 HP I believe. Had a 6 cylinder gasoline engine. He pulled a 4-16" plow with that and I remember it was hard work for it. The first Diesel tractor we got was an IH 766 and a new 5-18" plow. It used 1/3 of the fuel of the 560 and pulled that new plow like it wasn't even there. Edit: never did he try plowing a cow pasture with that 560. Probably would have stopped it dead. Also- you are correct it's called the "dead furrow" My Dad said it was an art to plow a field correctly back then. My uncle farmed about 500 acres next to our farm and to the day they retired from farming he had my Dad start the plowing of his fields because he could never get the furrow right. I personally have no idea, just a memory from childhood. Nice old tractors still working. Good to see.

Sir thank you for your videos. It looks like you did a good job working up that ground.

Make those adjustments on the plow, the draft/pull should be from the center of the tractor. Swinging the drawbar makes the tractor unstable, as you could tell by having to constantly turn the tractor to the left. Can be dangerous if a big rock or root stops the plow. Sweet Moline. Best regards from Indiana.

Great video That ground looks rock hard

I just love the Molines. Had a G1000 Vista that I bought at an auction. It was way too big for what I needed so I sold it. Thanks for the video. Scott in Arkansas

Very nice plow and I thought the tractor sounded great. Wow is it dry though. Hopefully some Fall rains swing by for you.

Always liked the looks of those Vista's. Ne ver were any in this area as no MM dealers close. Never heard of issues with the pinion bearing. I know a lot of guys back i n the day would add a M&W turbo. Gave it a boost of power up to 150 or better. Those are the guys that had pinion trouble. As long as the rear wheels can slip a bit in a bind, you should'd have any worries, keep the ballast down to a reasonable level. We always pulled 6 /16s with our IHC 806 and only ever wore out one pinion gear in 8000 hours of hard pulling. The 806 was a close competitor in size to the Vista.

I have the identical plow and pull it behind my G-705. Good outfit.

Good video. Nice discussion of lining up the plow. I think you could have gone one more hole on the drawbar...#1 didn't look like it was turning as much as the others. Nice job!

It seems like it would be faster and easier to go over it with a rototiller once instead of going over it several times with different attachments. When I was much younger I remember seeing rototillers that were 10 to 15 ft wide for big farm tractors.

Those days r gone

Pretty dry pulls way harder nice rig

Deep suck shears will help hold that plow in the ground

Down a turn on the right lift arm

Ground looks hard and dry😊

Better off pulling lighter loads faster as pinion bearing is the weak spot on G-1000s. When it goes. Wrecks ring gear and pinion gears.

It would be nice to see the plough mechanically lift out the furrow at each end

What model of plow is that? Parts of it remind me of the 4-16 IH model 70 my dad used with the '67 M670 back in the 70s but its got Oliver colors and does not look like the Oliver 4340 plow we also had (that was a 3-16).

Hope you get some rain.

God that looks had and dry.😊

How much fuel did you use? How do you fill the propane tank? I would be interested in a video on filling the propane tank? I drove a school bus that was converted to propane. It started on gas then switched to propane then back to gas when I was done for the day!

Please be careful letting that young man ride on the fender, I know a family that lost their son that way. Accidents happen so quickly. Enjoyed the plowing part tho, and that Moline tractor

it is the dead furrow,

Cool tractor. Propane unit was for sale near me but didn't need it and didn't buy it. Probably a big mistake.

Todos los tractores agricolas son buenos ,,aveses el maño es el operador,, saludos desde Querétaro México 👍

You should remove both duals. Having 1 dual only creates a lot of stress on the differential when 1 side has more slippage than the other. That load, annoying music is dubbed in is very irritating. Leave that crap at home. Let's just listen to the sweet music of the engine working away.

Buenas noches yo fui tractorista ,antes de ser traylero aprendi mucho de tractores, y un tractor agricola deve de hir desahogado de el motor, no deve de hir forsado el motor ,, sale pues saludos desde Querétaro México 👍

Daulswere the death of g1000’s rearends at least in this country, dry plowing, no moisture to plant
