Was quite the machine, in it's day!! I've seen one 44 parked in the corner of a field. The seat cushion was wider than the cylinder.. would make a great yard ornament! Thank you Mike!!

I would like to have an old John Deere 55-95 combine just to run 50 acres a year on to grow my own grain instead of buying that expensive crap

Some comments were lost but I did read them Thank You

Awesome. I have the privilege of having my daughter as a coworker for the summers. As equals off farm full time job.A different experience for both dad and daughter different than here on the farm. I'm sad she will be moving on next year. She is finishing collage

Thanks for your video. Where in Wa-?

Nice video. Good wheat this year. The 55 is so tiny.

Hey Mike! Good to see your granddaughter running combine!!! My granddaughter is a little young yet.. (14 months old) You got me thinking, my oldest daughter runs combine, but I don't believe her grandfather got to see her running it.. as I believe she started running it about a month after he passed.. by I know he's smiling from heaven!!

Bet that was scary, did they put a new cab on it?

Miss your ranch videos. Hope you are well.

The driver walked away thankfully, so despite the crush to the cab, all is well. But does look like the exhaust pipe helped !!

Like the tire chains on the tractor

Can't wait this is just the coolest channel ever thank you

That was awesome.would like to see more farming with crawler tractors .went thourth Washington a few times looking for those tractors.

From another washington rancher thanks for a glimpse into your life and lifestyle.

They dont build them like this now a days it be a total loss

Nah sir thank you its really awesome that the 500 people love your channel. And it's so much better to meet another Washingtonian that's a farmer. Plus this is farming

A fresh change of underwear was probably warranted

I never thought of using a grinder mixer as a seed tender! I'm 48 and the bulk of my equipment, with the exception of my combine is just a shade younger than myself. Yes it works and I'm working for myself and not daddy Case and mother Deere.

Great video. Really enjoyed the video as this is important history. I grew up on a farm southwest of you in Lacrosse. I remember St. Helen’s well and all that ash.

It looks like the cab is crushed. I thought it is supposed to carry the weight, thus ROPS, rollover protection system

ROPS failure?

I hope the operator was ok😬

Great video, thank you! What is scabland?

Brought back memories. Thanks for posting.

That was so cool, that was a huge drill

I still have a 1961 farmall 460 diesel I use around the property. Runs like a sewing machine. (Once it’s warmed up)

Exactly the way I would do it

It may seem quaint by today’s standards, but that was quite a step up from the old cycle bar mower. I have a similar old swather buried under a barn that collapsed that I used to use.

How old were you when these videos were taken

I love that old Ford, and that homemade Deweze is purty cool!

Guess that Allis has a Detroit (with a large muffler) maybe a 6-71?

I would never have thought to use a mixer for that in 50 million years!

That was somebody's pride and joy, can you imagine what it felt like the first day when it came to the farm, I don't know what about anybody else, but I've always got attached to the machines that were on our farm, they almost felt like family,

There was a little motor to move this device.

Keep posting and I’ll keep watching.

i like the safety coveralls , and you know he got er done

I like the weight on the other side

Happy Birds

A 95 hillside. A heck of a machine in its day. Sad to see it go.

I've got an old grinder mixer, never tried that.

Thank you for sharing

What year was this filmed and what part of the world?

The Great Depression was soul crushing for America and her farm/ranch families who held on by shear force of will. We were raised to take care of the land, our livestock and equipment because it was all we have against want and depravation. Forget the banks and equipment companies pushing debt and new paint - 'so called' efficiency too often isn't as you slip into debt slavery one weak moment after another. 'More' is a trap if debt is the means.

Fed a lot of people one way or another

Excellent video is that a John Deere 800 swather with the cab I have only ever seen 2 of them in western Minnesota here

Nice!

Just think how state of the art that machine was in its day!

Thank you for helping feed us.

Great pics ! Regards from germany

How did the undercarriage on the Allis hold up for you?
