I opperated a Ford 9600,8600,9700 & John Deere. 4020,3020,1520,2510 among others while working on a farm in the 80's.it was the best time of my life.

[@terryboerboom9921]

Spent alot of time as a teen on a Farmall 560 6 cylinder diesel hauling loads, spreading manure, disking, cultivating, chopping corn stalks, baling, etc. Loved that machine. Then later blew out my ears in an 806 with a cab that trapped all the sound. Then a 986 sweet noise relief! Was a 1466 and an old 300 in the mix also

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I was born and raised in Iowa and I first would like to thank the people that put this video on!! I'm so loyal to my state even though I spent about 25 years in my adult life living elsewhere. It thrills my heart to see that rich black soil being turned over and worked by these excellent amount of tractors you have in this video and also to see these big steel tractors working again in the fields, As well as seeing the farmers bouncing up and down in the seat again in these older tractors with a piece of cake equipment being pulled behind. Those are the days that I grew up on the farm and my father had four different tractors and my brothers all argue to this day which was the best. I, & another sister worked Very Hard to five my parents a 50th anniversary quilt which represented all four of those tractors on the quilt because of the arguments that took place once I presented the idea of representing Mom and Dad's life together...(& what a Grand Life we had w/ them & us 12 children on our Farms❣️) So, What were the Four tractors: a John Deere 3130 (later, w/ a Suncover😊), and International Harvester, A Farmall MD (around 1940ish era that had been my Grandfather's..I really like that tractor because my mom could write on it with him once in a while and it had the tires spread wider apart in the front and a stirring wheel w/ the "LONG"'CRANK ROD ??(sorry guys I'm an artist not a tractor mechanic... it was one of my favorite because it looked cool LOL and had the best sounding engine--it really "purred" when it ran; old Used Massey-Ferguson (my Mother's favorite- she said it was easy to see over to drive as she was short and she's like the steering mechanism in it; .... also there was a brief time there was a blue Ford that my father borrowed from my uncle on the farm when I was 11 years old but it was not ours but it was fairly new and shiny… My dad hated it LOL. Thank you for this wonderful video❣️I can't tell you how much this meant to me to be able to go back through memory lane and reminisce being on the farm. It was the happiest days of my life and while I am approaching 70 years old, and I never drove a tractor. I certainly helped Bill Haley and helped with the corn harvest and everything else it involves farming and I walked a lot of fields Interior live do you lunches WAY OIT TO THE BACK "QUARTER" (of 640 acres) to take Daddy his lunch...Mother had too many babies and she couldn't leave the house and Daddy would meet me halfway😊❣️THANK YOU

Ford 9600 my favorite

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍. Just got a 9000 filmed this week.

[@darrelstinson4737]

Case tractors are my favorite, especially the 30 and 70 series. We ran a 970, an 1170 and a 1470. I got the privilege to run a 730 that belonged to our neighbor. Loved them all.

[@johntoothman4888]

I love these years!! No computers, just big steel machines to turn the dirt over! Nothing but raw horse power!!

[@jamesmoore6478]

Gotta be Massey Ferguson and Ford for me the best .

[@paulsharpe6996]

Tractorman (ENGLAND) The FORD 9600 Is a massive favourite with me, I'm a FORD TRACTOR man through & through, grew up with FORD tractors from a kid in the 60's & 70's whilst working on farms until my early 20's & I still run FORD tractors to this day running my Tree Surgery & Landscaping Business. I watch all the farming videos, as farming still runs through my veins, keep up the good work bigtractorpower, you keep making um & I'll be watching um.

That Ford 9600 is the baddest looking tractor ever made , my great uncle had one . I’d ride with him ever chance I could as a child

[@johncooper6934]

1972 4320 with John Deere cab factory air. May. 1972. With a 12 row side dressing rig. We had two one for Dad one for me from post holes to planting to dragging roads. 8000 plus hrs. Till 2001 one clutch. For repairs. Not bad huh? 7520s the bigger Deere four wheel drive did heavy work most pretty good tractors. Thanks for the memories.

[@silveradotel]

My grandfather had an International 856, so i'm kinda partial to this era of International. Miss working with him in that old tractor. Love the channel.

( with my dog riding along on the floorboard ) .... great little tractor that could do some great wheelies with the plow raised 🙂 thank for bringing back some great memories 🙂

Drove a 9600 Ford tractor when I was a kid it was a beast!

I'm curious, I know ford had a powershift on the 6000 but did the 9600 have one

[@justinwilliams8421]

A Massey guy at heart but those old Ford's were good tractors too..looks really cool with duals on too

[@swampratt36]

We had a brand spanking new 1155 Ferguson in '74 . Chucked the crank right out the block without so much as a tick ,clunk or sputter with 28 hours on it . Needless to say I quickly became a huge Allis Chalmers fan when the new one arrived next day . It was a beast and would drag twice what the Ferguson would . Thanks for the memories .👍👍

I grew up in the 60's and the 70's working a dairy farm in the Endless Mountains on PA. We were a Massey Ferguson farm so they definitely have a special place for me especially the 1085. Most of the farms around us were either Massey or Farmall farms,

[@carlhelmick8104]

I'm an old school farmer. I remember plowing tobacco with mules. So all the tractors you showed are awesome . I loved them all. But my four favorite John Deere, Ford, international. Massey Ferguson. Oh yes and Case . I kinda liked David brown to. I remember operating one for a farmer I think it was pushing about 70 to 80 horses. It was a nice tractor . Good power. 😄👍

[@khristopherwenger4856]

I enjoy the videos very much thank you

[@Tractormanpj]

I like the look of the 9600 Ford, my neighbor has one with a cab on it, pretty neat. My favorite tractor would probably be an allis chalmers 190XT, can’t beat the turbo charged power of that tractor!!

[@bigtractorpower]

The 190 XT is a solid plow machine. Great tractor. I had a neighbor growing up whose main tractor was a FORD 9000 with a cab. I hope to get to film more 8000/8600 and 9000/9600 tractors.

[@RJ1999x]

A lot of companies tried to challenge the 190 xt and no one came close

[@tommyw.9424]

That Massey's got tons more power than traction, those rear wheels look like a rototiller!

[@bigtractorpower]

That field had been plowed up 6 times in two days during a plowing demonstration.

[@davenhla]

Deffinately Case 1030 Comfort King. Grew up with a 60's version(the older style with the round lights up front) Factory cab, 18.4/38 rears fluid filled, with gigantic donut weights bolted on the inside of the rim, 11x16 tri rib fronts, filled with fluid. Dual hyd remotes, 3 point, 540 pto... all on a Wheatland(western special). That thing was rated for 100HP at 1600 rpm, but full throttle was well over 2 grand. That tractor could pull WAY over it's class, between the weights and fluid. That was our big tractor growing up, I loved everything about it. BTP, would love to see a video of one of these. Would like to see a 1570 working hard too, that was the big boy in the 70's.

Ford made one hell of a tractor. New Holland nowadays have great looking designs, but they over complicate their electronics systems making them impossible to work on and unreliable as heck.

Don't be bloody stupid they then and now have and had the mighty fiat owning and designing. That's what makes nh the awesome force they are today.

Case traction king look to be fun. My favorite from this time was 4230jd. We had 3 of them. 2 quads 1 powershift. I remember the powershift slipped a lot because my dad use to yell about it all time after we bought it used with 2500hr on it. Quad With partial was best during this time.IMO Now the full powershift in 4250 was a different animal. Very good. They must have figured clutches were not way to go.

The Ford 9600 was a great tractor. Simple, comfortable operation, full day's work on a tank of fuel, plenty of room on the platform to move around. Olivers with the Detroit diesel were screamers and just uncomfortable to run. Others I never ran. My FIL had an 1155 and I never liked it.
