I remember the belt drive long hopper blower and staking them down. We had wagons with false endgate and a wench to pull the load back . we had a long handle rake and were real careful not to hit the board holding the gate up. When we went to a 717 new holland and self unloading wagons we thought how easy we had it. I am so glad you put this video up brings back memories of better times. One fond memory we did custom chopping and we put the silo pipes up and down on each farm I'll never forget the day my uncle was going up the silo with the pulley hanging off his back pocket problem was he was skinny which almost created a rather embarrassing moment

My Pop loved the early fall - He had a single row Gehl corn chopper and did custom work for the neighbors. Initially powered by a WD45 diesel, "upgraded" to a D17 diesel for more gears. He loved to occasionally cover the other farmers with corn silage if they weren't paying attention to harvesting-on-the-go. I am 70 and THOROUGHLY enjoy your videos, especially the older equipment still in use. Thanks!

[@swampyankee72]

I loved the 1st, the John Deere 4020 with the 35 harvester. Farming old school, open cab, so you can take in your surroundings, you can hear when something is wrong with the tractor or the chopper before it breaks. You can see and feel the weather changing, you become a part of the environment and the things going on around you. You aren't sealed in some isolation chamber with AC while blasting the radio isolating yourself from what's going on around you. I watch your videos with the new school tractors going Mach 4 up and down the fields with 12 row harvester staring at computer screens with ear phones piping in the latest noise. Seeing the planting or harvesting as some sort of nuisance that has to be accomplished ASAP. It hurts My heart to see Faming becoming so impersonal and industrialized. I watch how cows are handled today, roughly and cruelly. We had 100 head of Holstein, if My Uncle, Grandfather, or Father treating a cow like that, they wouldn't wait to take Me out behind the barn. they would beat Me where I stood. Its heartbreaking to see what Farming has become. The Equipment Manufactures kept preaching "time saving equipment and techniques" pushing us to all go faster, to get more done. We have lost ourselves in the process.

[@darrellyoder2602]

A lot of truth right there

[@l337pwnage]

They did that with everything, farming was an industry that held out for quite a while. But, like the man said, give me control of a nation's currency, and I care not who makes its laws.

[@aidencrawford3487]

But, at the same time, we can today get so much more out of an acre than we used to. So many acres have been taken out of production since the 70s or even 80s, we need to be able to make the most out of every acre

Many fond memories of working for my neighbor in high school in the early 1980s pulling and unloading wagons of chopped hay in the summer and chopped corn and high moisture shelled corn into harvestore and concrete stave silos. I have always loved the smell of ensileage and slightly sour smell of that shelled corn coming from those silos when it was feeding time. I still catch a whiff of it from some of the neighbors and takes me back to my younger days.

That was a great time in farming. Thank you for sharing.

The only thing I loved as a kid with a 4430 and 3800 with 2 row head (narrow 30 inch rows for us, 36 inch row heads for the neighbors we did custom chopping for) and the 216 wagons without the extensions was that silo filling took a lot longer than with the 4440, 3950, 3 row head and 716As. I loved the noise of the JD 66 blower with 2640 sending it up the pipe. Harvesting season for ourselves and the custom work was a month plus. With today's equipment and bags its over in a day or 2. These videos are the 1st non rear tandem 716As I've ever seen.

[@MilkMan608]

My brother and I had a New Idea model 802 Uni tractor, 426 Allis powered, 170 hp with hydro and rear wheel assist. Had the forage harvester with 3 row wide/narrow corn head and hay head. The combine had a windrow pickup for harvesting oats and a 4 row corn head. Bought new in 1984 from Koby Implement in Plainview, MN for our 300 acre dairy farm and some custom harvesting. It was New Idea orange. We didn't operate it a lot, since we swore our Dad could hear us start making the first round from 2-1/2 miles away in town. Gave him a lot of enjoyment and us a lot of help. Miss him.😎

Yah The White Tractors And The New Idea Forge Harvester Were The Coolest In My Opinion.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Well jason, since you've asked, here in our place in the Western PA we only green chalk and that's just usually our third cutting of hay to feed our 70 head production beef cattle herd. We'll start about Labor Day you see when the pastures get a little short and run through till about Thanksgiving usually if the weather holds and we don't get snowed on. And we use the John Deere 16a flail chopper. We have two a good one and a spare that's just as good as not quite so pretty and we'll pull it with either a superh Farmall we have two of those here or my preference is my 75c Case IH. And we got them unload everyday that the weather permits we used to cut with an old New Holland 717 it was a cut and throw machine with a direct cut grass head on it it worked all right but the deer with the regular fan does it so much nicer job and it'll run practically in the rain we can run where it's damper than we could with the New Holland and we've had good luck with that outfit. Just thought I'd let you know since you asked.

[@farmerboy8940]

Without a doubt the New Idea Uni-system at the end was something else. Loved it when the guy brought the empty silage wagon to the chopper, then had to get out to unhook it from his tractor, pull his tractor out of the way so the chopper could hook up to the empty wagon, with the guy getting out again to hook it up to the chopper, and then hook up his tractor to the filled wagon. Done this so many times, ha ha ha...so so inefficient!! This Uni-system had to be one of the last ones before it was sold to White Corp and boy this unit is really prestine!!! The system was should have been more popular as you could use the base unit for a silage chopper, or convert to a combine, or convert to a large snowblower. This had to be ideal for dairy farmers living on country roads to get their milk out during bad snowstorms. But it seems not many used them.

[@allenhollenbach4692]

They weren't handy. I worked for a guy that had 2, 803 power units. Picked ear corn, chopped, and a snow blower. They were time consuming to switch. The big, implement drive belts were expensive, and would slip if wet. Also the silage wagons pushed them around. The cabs were uncomfortable and the steps up to the cabs were the worst. Neat idea poorly executed

[@allenhollenbach4692]

And it always felt like they were going to roll onto their side.

[@MilkMan608]

@@allenhollenbach4692 Haters gonna hate! Need a level spot to switch implements. Later cab was nice. Rear wheel assist prevents wagons from pushing you around. Chopper was a Fox design, I believe. Ran ours on 80 ft. wide contour strips. Steep sidehill slopes. Never felt unsafe.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

That is a Magnificent bunch of footage that you got

[@bigtractorpower]

It has been a good year for finding classic choppers. There is a Fox and few others on the way 😁

[@jackanapes6676]

Had a Fox self propelled with a Detroit diesel on my grandfathers farm, and two Fox 3000 pull type choppers with two row heads as well. Had a 1971 4320 on one and a 1964 4020 power shift on the other. Sometimes it was all they could handle in second gear here in northern Illinois chopping corn. The self propelled was a powerhouse, loud and dirty, it got the job done. Would like to see one again working, the self propelled went away in 1991 and I have not seen one working anywhere since that time.

[@jtoddjb]

One of my favorite videos yet (and I've been watching for years) I hate seeing older equipment at shows, demonstrations, plow days, or the mother of all sins restored (painted) and put on display in collections never to work again. But to see them in their natural habitat is a wonderful thing and brings back memories of all the farming I've been involved in since I first fell in love with farming when I was teenager. 90% of all forage harvesting in my area still looks just like this today expect the fields are smaller and the ground a heck of a lot steeper. Great video and this one will go under my favorites/watch later section of youtube. I'd like to see a lot more of this sort of thing in the future please and thank you

Neighbor guy used to chop with a 1466. Used to think that was the coolest thing as a kid watching him go as soon as the sun was up.

[@rickshafer4241]

My favorite was an International Harvester 720 from the late 1970's. Very handy, except was prone to shear pins when you pushed it to capacity. Sometimes had to put in a harder shear pin to get anything done. We also had a Papec chopper from the late 1950's that was pretty indestructible. And before that an Allis Chalmers forage chopper from the mid 1940's that worked well, too.

When I was a kid, a very long time ago, I looked forward to filling a tile silo on the farm in Iowa. My dad hired 2 brothers that had the equipment. They had a Case 830 diesel that they pulled the chopper with and I can still see the black smoke rolling. Good times.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Corn chopping is one of my favorite things to film. It’s all the better with classics like these. Do you recall the chopper they ran in the 830?

[@Bohica-tq3ps]

@@bigtractorpower Sorry, that was close to 60 years ago, I only recall the Case because it was a beast compared to the little Ferguson TO30 and Massey Ferguson 65 we had at the time. The chopper was probably only one row. They would fill the silo in one day and it would settle maybe 30% overnight and they would come back the next day and bring it back to full.We had over 100 head of cattle on hand most of the time and fed silage, small square bales of hay, and since we put up ear corn back then, we would have a guy bring a mill mounted on a truck and grind cob meal. Something you may enjoy, the mill was on an old COE GMC and powered by a Chrysler hemi with no mufflers. He folded the drag out to the door of the corn crib and we scooped the corn into the drag and the cob mean was run into a wagon As I recall the hemi ran on propane.

4020 is scooting holy smokes….. I think he’s having a good time.

[@davidblevins1133]

I liked all of them really liked a new idea with the white tractors whites are my favorite

I used to run a New Holland 880 chopper. Very similar to a 717, one of the loudest things I’ve ever heard. Ran it with an International 1206 Turbo.

[@bigtractorpower]

Now that’s a cool chopping team. 😁👍

[@lloydkukon1336]

I started with 34 John Derek Our farm over decades went from Gehl with 4 cylinder Wisconsin To Allis Chalmers To 34 John Deere To Fox To the one I liked the best was a Heston The older choppers didn't have the throw capacity Today our chopping is hired out to a farmer that has Claas with kernel processor. Bunk us chopped and covered in 2 days.

[@davidbriggs1649]

we had a New Holland 890 in the late 70's and early 80's that was a huge improvement over what we had before, took the power of 150+ hp tractors. Replaced that with a Deere 3975 that was probably the best ever.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. My neighbor had an 892 he ran on a ‘76 1066. He went to a 1600 on a Case 4690 after that.

[@TXsnowman812]

Hell yea UNI System!!!

[@tonycoupland6281]

Spent lot time around a pull type 3940 John Deere!! Pulled it with a John Deere 4640!! But these new self propelled choppers are the best!! Especially with 10 and 12 row heads!!

[@bigtractorpower]

It is amazing how much a modern self propelled machine can handle.

Love the last machine - have never seen on before. Heard of New Idea but didn’t know they made choppers. Such a wide range over in the US - only really see self propelled foragers in the UK and lot in my area are just for maize or whole crop harvesting for biogas plants. Fascinating video as ever! Love the Whites at the end too.

Testing the next generation of chopping equipment, i can say its going to be a BIG change. I do believe they should cap the forage harvesters at 1000hp.

[@bigtractorpower]

Farm machines just keep growing. The New Holland Whopper Chopper in the video was a monster in 1979.

[@sheldonotte9077]

I had a NH 1881 crop cruiser. It worked great in corn. When I used it for hay I had to make sure the knives were set close to the band (it is cut-and-throw) or else I could not get the hay into the wagon!

The John Deere 20 series knew how smoke. Must have been some big advancements because the 30 series didn’t smoke.

[@greggergen9104]

I would love to see the "original Uni-System" Minneapolis Moline with the chopper unit in action. I have not even been able to find a picture of one.

[@fordenginebuildersv8power184]

We used two set ups just like this to feed 2500 head of beef! JD 4020’s and two row choppers with two JD wagons and two Fox wagons

Brings back some nice memories. 4020 JD, Gehl chopper and wagons. My dad had me haul in the loads with our Oliver 77. No problem on level ground. No weights or fluid on the 77. Had to come down a steep lane with a full load, and jackknifed it halfway down the hill. The wagon was much heavier than the tractors!
