What a great incentive for the kids and everyone else involved with this program! Well done to everyone!! Love the 8650 and the 4955…

It is a great event to high light agriculture. I have a video of this 4955 on grain cart duty posted at kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIuppKZoi8t_l7ssi=xGoWGg1rdWBNJOUY I hope to film the 8650 this year.

[@lazeppelin1]

Nice seeing the younger generation involved with ag. What impressed me the most was how polite the young folks were. Especially the fella with the Ford 9600 would respond with a “yes sir”. A very respectable character, his parents did a great job. It was nice to see compared to the contradicting of the “ gangsters” Great job 👏

[@bigtractorpower]

It is a great for agriculture in the community. All of the students are enthusiastic about farming. The 9600 was a cool part of the event.

[@burtzorn4059]

Love the Kinze repower. My favorite one. Congratulations to the F F A members and their cruise.

[@freddexta3363]

Yep Kinze does a great job with these. I had a chance to buy one 3 years ago and I missed it, regret it to this day.

[@EDBZ28]

great video! I was born in the wrong area of the country...my high school's (HFL, Rochester, NY) idea of "drive your tractor to school day" was kids driving their lawnmowers.

I am a junior and I drove a John Deere 8225R to school. We call ours implement day and we have a lot more than just tractors show up.

Very cool. Glad you get a chance to take part in implement day.

[@markreetz1001]

That was awesome! I always enjoy seeing the "Drive Your Tractor to School Day." Some of the kids probably don't get a lot of recognition any other day so this is a great positive way to participate. Thanks for bringing it to us. Seeing Billy there was awesome too!

[@bigtractorpower]

It is a great event. The students, school and community do a great job. Billy is always nice to loan a tractor to the event.

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s a great way to highlight agriculture and let kids take the lead.

[@markkeister6057]

Kids did a great job. Gotta be some proud parents out there. Best wishes on their futures.

I’m a FFA officer for my schools chapter and I’m the reporter and I wish we could do this. And my favorite tractor was the John Deere 8235R because we have this exact same model tractor at my family farm to plant and for grain cart.

[@Bdigital9482]

Beautiful machine, you’re lucky to get to even look at that tractor. I’m a bit north of NYC so you do not see anything remotely similar.

[@Hatfieldfarms44]

8:28 that 8Rs front wheels are so tight, must be scraping, and I wish my school in Maryland would do this, this would be so fun

[@Bdigital9482]

Great video, This is America! 🇺🇸 I was born/raised, and currently reside a bit north of NYC, it’s been my lifetime dream to see these massive machines in real life. Our local John Deere doesn’t care anything remotely close to this.

[@burtbrooks7731]

Good stuff Jason👊🇺🇸 brought back the memories of when I was in FFA and drove my 4320 Deere to school. Looks like they had pretty good weather atleast. 👍👍

[@kennethwarren191]

Agriculture is the backbone of this country we need more of this in every town all over our country I love farming and agriculture and I love tractors and farm equipment I’ve been around it all my life it makes me feel so good to see this with the young generation coming up now and always give our Lord Jesus all the praise and glory and worship and thank a farmer 🚜

[@bonnyd.5334]

Wish we did that at my high school. I'm a hick from the sticks in Upstate NY. My HS could have come-up with that many tractors on a "Drive your tractor to school" day. Most of us learned to drive through learning to drive a tractor. Betcha some of those classic tractors were fixed up by the student driving it.

What a great event !! So wonderful to see schools supporting agriculture again!!! Loved seeing the ford 5000 in that sea of green!! We had one on our farm in the late 60’s-early 70’s! Our first diesel…great tractor!!💙

The 5000 is one of the all time great tractors. The Todd County FFA has been having this drive each year since 1976.

[@thejosborne]

Love it. Love them old internationals

[@alexandert6489]

I'm Canadian and we have these too depending on the school. My school is the only one in the entire county that does it and last year there was only 4 of us (me in my jd 2120, a 4230 jd, a 4440 collectors/farmers jd and a valtra) there were others who were going to but they backed out after 1 couldn't start his tractor and the other one just didn't, another person i knew was also going to bring a tractor in because his family is a large farm but only didnt bring any in as he wanted the new big stuff. Don't know how many people are trying this year however I know my brother wants to drive tractor now so he will be taking over for me when I graduate. As it looks like last year I'm the only grade 12 that not only owns a tractor but will also drive it to school

[@fordsfarms1297]

Great to see. Wish more school systems supported ffa like that. Good to see those young ladies making their daddies proud in several of those machines.

[@bigtractorpower]

Todd County really does a great job on supporting agriculture and the FFA. It would be great to see that enthusiasm across the U.S.
