Here's a bit of footage of Dad seeding and spreading with his Farmall 1026 Hydro.

Thanks for watching! I wish we could have kept our International 1026. They are extremely rare!

We broadcast our canola with the fertilizer like that sometimes but if we didn’t get the moisture for it to germinate we’d end up with inconsistent germination so we started using the hoe drill and putting the canola/fertilizer mix in the fertilizer attachment and it would drop in and a little soil would fall across it and the packer wheels would go over it. We could usually get it in that 1/2” of cover range and it seemed to work good for us in the grey soils. Not all drills would work good for that though. We found the old 150 drills were good and later used the newer IH hoe drills with good success. I don’t know what made them work better than some others but the fertilizer fell down behind the hoe and the soil behind had started to collapse back into the opening so maybe others were different, I don’t know. Those old hydros are a keeper for sure. Great machines.

So you set your drill that it would trip but not go in the ground and just used the fertilizer attachment?

⁠@@tyfrank3427 We’d lower the drill so the hoes would open the ground just a little and then the fertilizer would drop in and the packer would go over it. I don’t remember if Dad had the mechanism rigged to always turn or what he did there but the hoe shovels would just barely open the ground. The truth is, the clutches were probably siezed and always turned. I remember now that we had to use the fertilizer attachment because the grain tank wouldn’t close off enough to deliver the small seeds at 5 lbs per acre so we mixed it with the fertilizer. We did it the way you are sometimes too but if moisture wasn’t in the top layer of soil it would take a long time to come up if we didn’t get rain. We’d narrow it in but I’ve seen lots of folks roll it after harrowing and I think that would help a lot.

We had a 574 hydro in the 80s, should have kept it but isn't hindhindsight great.

That would be a nice little tractor. We have the 656 too.

Absolutely correct on the Hydro's. I have 2. A 656 and a 966. Wouldn't trade them for the world. That 1026 wouldn't be a 1970, would it? Always interesting to see how you guys farm up there. Will you roll the canola now, or is it fine as is? What kind of a fertilizer mix do you use for canola? Sorry for all the questions, but it isn't grown here. Looks dry too. Very wet here and they are calling for more rain this week.

That 1026 is the rarer 1971 model... It's one of the last ones built. It was not what I would call dry, we did get about 3/4" 3 days earlier. We harrow the field after we seed it (video coming soon)

@@tyfrank3427 Ha ha dry there compared to here. Calling rain again most of this week. Nice tractor either way. Just wasn't sure if it might be a Goldie.

G day Ty Yes I would think that would be perfect for that job. How often do u change oil on hydro. I did not realize that those motors & pumps need oil Ths

@tyfrank3427 25 күн бұрын

We change that oil about as often as you would a gear drive: about every 1000 hours. The oil changes like the gear drives, and you just use Hy-Tran or equivalent.
