Those were good times back then for sure

Same here. Started in 10th grade with rented 7 acres.

They still have all of the things you mentioned.

No they don't!! That life is gone with the WIND!!!

Above is from Scott Thompson.

And don't forget driving those 50's cars.

Good food then too !

all by design and you have these same farmers (past and present) voting for the same ones who put them out of business or want them out of business.. They traded believing the bible for the tv.. pretty sad

I don’t know about anywhere else but my dad said here in Michigan we had some wet falls here in the late 80s which caused farmers to abandon their crops in the fields because they couldn’t harvest them

​@Cameron McConnachie we farm near Green Bay Wisconsin. We didn't abandon our crops because we had to feed our dairy cows. But we sure did have a hell of a hard time getting those crops in!

@@repairmanjoe8081 I was a teenager in the late 80's and not many 4wd tractors back then where I grew up. It was common to have 2 tractors chained together pulling the forage harvester to try and get things done. I have not seen that done in 30 years since

Debt is dumb cash is king. Farmers still taking on massive debt loads and obviously never learned a lesson

disappointing, hoping for a powershift in that sweet hiniker cab

​@@stonestadheim7381yup I had the same thought

@@stonestadheim7381 There wasn't anything "sweet" about those Hiniker cabs. There were a couple of 4020s in our neighborhood that were bought new with them circa 1972. Those noisy cabs were removed and tossed in a fence row 30-40 years ago. Both tractors are still in use with row crop fenders on them.

@@trevorn9381 compared to the other aftermarket cabs of that era, they were much higher quality and not any louder than a hinson

You will probably wish you had kept whatever you traded. Yes the new ones start faster, and ride much nicer than the old Sound Gard tractors from the 70s and 80s and the cabs are quieter and there is no door post, exhaust pipe or air intake stack to look around but those old ones were much easier to fix. I'd rather have that old 4630 shown sitting on the dealer lot in this video than a brand new computerized, emission, controlled 6R series but I am now an old coot like the old farmers I remember who were still running old Poppin Johnnies from the 1930s - 1950s when I was a kid in the 70s. I thought they were backwards as Hell back then and the young farmers driving the newest and the latest green machines from JD probably feel the same way about me now. 🤣

In the future old iron will keep us alive!​@trevorn9381

@trevorn9381 it was just a little guy, 3005 basic loader, and mower. Needed a little bigger tractor, so now it's a 4310 with a loader, forks, and backhoe, kept my brush hog backblade, plow, cultivator, and harrow, I mow around the house with a 1023, just needed at little bigger utility tractor and a backhoe for some projects, and want the 1023 kept as just a lawn mower. The stuff from the 70s was good straightforward, and I did my research and shopped around, but I am retired. We just have 13 acres. The closest thing to real farming that I do is drive a truck during harvest for my neighbor. I get what you are saying and agree with it.

@@trevorn9381I agree. We have a new track tractor and a old 4440 and I’ll take that sound gaurd any day. Awesome ole tractor

True

Not really mate looks more like hard old fuckin days.

@@weirdo1083 Completely wrong

Better times on the farm back then

@@weirdo1083that’s what made em so good. You felt good about your self after all that work at the end of the day. And you appreciated what you had a lot more than nowadays. Everyone has everything handed to em anymore. People complain about having to go to work to put 40 hours in when these farmers we’re putting 90+ hour work weeks.

The black smoke is missing, I ran 2 of them and both looked like it burned coal

That's a gas 806, no wonder it's sick.

@@deanpahl8591she’s definitely a diesel

@@loganbeedy5950no it’s a gasser, notice it’s gurgly sound aside from a smooth rumble of a diesel

@@30acreshop_time look at the motor during the scene of it pulling out of the field or when it’s baling in the field, there’s no carburetor on it, it’s definitely a diesel. But the sounds don’t match it, almost sounds like a 2 banger Deere sound got overlayed over the 806

Just like every time there’s a cow on camera you hear mooing

My thoughts exactly!

That’s not the packing house in Wichita. It’s all gone now it was a great building but as a farmer north of Wichita it’s all gone to shit. Wichita has nothing to offer for ag.

Be glad it was a 46. I grew up on a 45. Heard my dad use more 4 letter words than one ever thought possible! I rode on the left side twine box and hand tied about 50% of the bales that came through when I was about 10 to 14 years old. I began using 4 letter words when I took over baling at 14. Needless to say....I stepped up to New Holland...language was transformed

I think the dealer shown here is in Casselton ND. They have since moved to a location south of town near I-29

Wrong, they show a Massey too

@@GMT400Chevy yes and a mf

They also had versatile in there

@@deannelson9565 but where are the Olivers,Minneapolis molines, Allis chalmers etc

Crab steer Case right before the stockyard segment

Wonder why we never got beat up in school, cause we used to bale several loads of hay every day in the summer, and the jobs not done until it's in the barn, 12-14 loads a day, all by hand three of us making $2 per hour

There ain’t no greater land grabbers than the libtard marxist-socialists of the Demoncrat, pardon me, the Democrat Party ! Anywhoo, the “two parties” are in fact the “uni-party” of bought and payed for political turds which belong to the globalist elites (the international bankster families and their affiliates)

Earl really shoved it in farmers’ butz. Hopefully he’s rotting in hell.

You’re out of your mind.

absolutely, look where we are at now. Chemicals and heavy metals in everything, cancer in so many people , its the NWO at work!

The world would starve with out the use of them

@@germantrader10 no. Farming isn’t to blame for any of that.

​@germantrader10 The US government was lighting off nukes in the desert starting in 16th July 1945, elements from this stuff was pumped into the atmosphere, elements that are extremely detrimental to living tissue, such as: Cobalt-60, Barium-133, Europium-152 and 154, Americium-241, Cesium-137, Potassium-40, as well as Thorium-232 and Uranium 238. This crap is in everything, and might help explain the sharp rise in cancer rates since the 1940's.
