1953 Massey Harris-Plowing the garden!

[@Brokeandtwistedgarage]

Awesome! I love my 3 Masseys

[@rickykraus7450]

I have a 1949 Massey Harris 30 Standard. My Grandpa also bought it brand new. Been in the family since. My dad and I restored it and it runs great.

[@glenparks5175]

Love how u could hear the gears whine in those old tractors

[@glentaybow]

Your dad really knows his stuff. And you are a wonderful camera man. Great angles. Brings back fond memories of Masseys on the farm. Thank you.

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

Thanks for the awesome video. MH 30 was the first tractor I learned to drive back in the late 60's. Ours had the throttle on the steering column, different than yours, not sure why. Most 30 models have the throttle lever between the operator's legs. Nice to see yours still has a nice PTO shield and grill screen, ours did too. But we didn't have the belt pulley. I put on a lot of hours sickle mowing and raking and hauling ear corn to the corn crib at picking time. Loved the sound of the gears in the transmission, that sound comes across nicely in your video. We no longer have the 30 but still have the 44 that dad got new in '49. My compliments to your dad's good job of plowing and to the dog for not getting run over. Blessings!

Thank you for watching the video, like I said in the video it has been a great tractor and yes that whining sound from the transmission really sounds good. Dad always rode with me as a youngster and taught me appropriate throttle position for each gear and speed shifting! Trying to set the brake on with one foot has always been a challenge. Thanks for the nice comments and keep watching.

I realize this video is an older one but I've just discovered you folks. These old tractors is what caught my eye so keep the videos coming. I really enjoy them . Your dad is a real pro. Thanks

[@leemyers563]

Learned to drive on our Massey Harris 30. One of my jobs was cultivating corn with it. Still remember it's smell!

[@verntoews6937]

Same here first driving grandpa's Massey 30 and the unforgettable whine of its straight cut gear teeth transmission

[@ardurbin2]

Right up my alley, aunt/uncle had used MH 30, cut my teeth helping on their dairy farm driving their tractors. My mom/dad became gentlemen farmers in later years, had a used MH 33 as a first tractor. Those ole iron tractors from the 50's-60's, don't make them like that anymore. 'Thanks 4 the ride down memory lane Mike. 👍👏😊

[@dwhallon21]

Old massey chugged rigjt along Loved the video. Dog got a workout supervising

[@oldtruthteller2512]

That's a big garden. Soil looks good too

[@jasonhurkman8880]

What a great ol'piece of machinery! Pretty good ol'operator too!😉

[@glenparks5175]

Nice looking garden soil

[@rickshafer4241]

Great to see someone use a plow the way it is supposed to be used - all properly adjusted and so forth. (I have seen some other videos where I get the impression the person driving the tractor has never done much plowing and isn't doing a very good job.) Reminds me of my dad, right down to the similar looking dog running along and barking. Except my dad would have probably been driving a John Deere tractor.

[@bigdcarmichael]

👍🏼👍🏼beauty soil. Pop knows what he’s doing.

[@greggschultz5768]

You've got that plow adjusted perfectly!! Running level and straight. I'm amazed how many guys can't set them right. Yay!!!

[@billschmitt9553]

Great video! I have a similar story. My wife’s grandpa (Charlie Gorecki) had a 1948 Farmall C that they bought brand new from Tessamers in Daggett when he was in his early 20’s. Only tractor they ever bought brand new, and the only one he kept when they sold the farm. I restored it back in ‘12 and still use it to skid logs and disc food plots.

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

Great video. I like seeing those old tractors still being put to work. They’re not just for parades. In our area the 44 model was very popular.

[@reaperhunter7297]

I love the old tractor videos they sound so good really appreciate you not having music edited over the tractor sounds

[@dansnurr4896]

Really a nice video. My dad loved the massey harris tractors and he spent my hours operating them.

[@donaldmack7213]

We still have my Dad’s old Hassey Harris 30. A good tractor! It has front and rear wheel weights.

[@kswaynes7569]

That Border Collie sure loves your Dad! Dad has still got the rhythm for running a clutch lift plow, good old JD plows. Maybe you should do a Q & A with your Dad, I'll bet he can tell some real good stories about you boys and the Veeser boys!

[@copperhead6132]

Love the sound of the flathead motor.

[@johnallford7053]

Really enjoyed video. The old Massey runs pretty good.

[@aaronjarvenpa1743]

My grandpa was a hardcore John Deere man but he had Massey Harris 33 with a loader he loved that tractor

[@zawadafarms7402]

Aaron Jarvenpa Same here, John Deere farm but you cannot deny a good tractor when you have it!

[@dustinadams9136]

Real nice video, I bet your dad enjoys being able to play like that. Probably brings back lots of memories 👍

[@deernutOO]

Brought back great memories of driving the MH 30 in '54 high school years and again injecting anhydrous in '60 for a college job. Very impressed with the MH 30. Can't beat that JD plow for turning the ground over either. Thanks for the video.

[@cyannepeterson8136]

Your sister loves it too! My favorite tractor to drive!

[@lauriecox6377]

Good to see a tractor and plough working as it should.... we had a 30 and a massey 2 furrow plough up until the early 60's. My uncle and father farmed 320 acres with that outfit with a TO20 Ferguson as a backup. Clay ground and rolling. Not sure how they did it but the work was always done before the first snow.

[@pedintx]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻, Paul from Texas

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Great video thanks for sharing 👍

[@dclella1]

Love the video! We had 2 Massey 44's on my Dad's farm, plus a Massey 201, which was slow, but could pull like crazy.

[@42lookc]

The lasting quality of the cast frame Massey-Harris tractors cannot be disputed.

[@lonnieyust6025]

Nice running MH 30. Sounds like the plow is hitting an old foundation in the same places every round. I have a 1950 Model 30 and a 1941 101 Junior.....love those Masseys!

[@zawadafarms7402]

I love that sound too, thanks for watching!

[@user-uh9xk7bm7h]

We had the massacres 44 Massey Harris special mass Harris, 44444 was a hard steering tractor good tractor use it for years, but the power shaft is too high. The hydraulic pump on the side was a Webster pub hard to find if you ever needed to get another pump, it needs a larger hydraulic pump.

[@calebthacker9654]

Nice old tractor

[@ukiniakingdomex1837]

that dog would stress me irl

[@georgedavidson7986]

You should put a whole lot of manure on the garden before you plow it down Just an idea

[@steveclark8883]

I think he's done that before! 😁👍

[@user-uh9xk7bm7h]

Dad is plowing and after plowing all day arms, so tired from pulling the trip rope

[@zacktabbert5438]

Correct me if I'm wrong please but either it isn't a 53 model year or it isn't a 30, I just bought a 30 this spring and in my research the 30s ended in 52

[@Corvacar]

It looks like Your plowing at a decent depth with that ROPE TRIP plow. The Dog is looking to get run over as He/She is dangerously close to the outfit.
