Can We Farm Like The Good Old Days?

[@loisrinehart6755]

Laura, you talk about the good old days of the 70's and I think of the good old days of the 50's. Of course, I'm 75 years old and watched my granddad farm with an Allis-Chalmers model B and a hay cutter that was 5 feet across and combine that had a 4 head cutter bar. Good to see you're keeping the "old" stuff running and remembering your heritage. Thank you.

The wheels on the "new" green truck are 'split rim' wheels. The were affectionately known as "suicide rims", because they were notorious for exploding off the tire during reassembly after a repair or replacement of the tire. Please be cautious when working on the tires. I would highly recommend replacing the old suicide rims with modern ones for safety.

I was thinking they where called that or death rims... Anyways not a good name for a key part to keep the wheels on the car/truck..lol

[@JohnBradley-ut2qi]

Just a little note, I was on my uncle's farm back in the late 40's and early 50's. He had a dairy farm and we milked between 40 and 50 head of cattle. I remember our corn fields. We used a picker that just cut the corn and blew it into a wagon. We then brought it down to the silo and had a chopper/blower that blew the copped corn into an upright silo. The chopper ran off the tractor via a long belt. What fun. He never did get a combine, he just stayed with what he knew. I am now 86 years old and I have found a couple of channels that remind me of the old days. Yours is one and I am enjoying them very much. Your old equipment brings back many memories. Of course my uncle didn't have much use for John Deere or Farmall equipment. He was a Massy-Harris tractor guy. Have a wonderful day and God Bless

[@Whiskey61]

If you are interested, there is a channel called Gierok Farms that has an old corn picker they have been using for their last couple videos. Sounds like they are using a set up today similar to what you had back then.

[@EdBrumley]

Quite fascinating! I’m 66 and lived out in the country with lots of neighbors farming all around. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I remember equipment just like this. No farmers had semis. All of them had grain trucks just like yours. I can remember one neighbor having a combine almost just like yours, but with NO CAB. Harvesting soybeans was brutal for him.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. This was so fun to watch and way more advanced than the method we used. I grew up on a small farm in central Minnesota. In the early 1960's we used a true corn "picker", not a combine. The picker delivered the whole ear of corn to an attached wagon. The whole ear was then transported to our corn crib for storage or to the grain elevator near by. On are best years we could hit 100 bushels to the acre and then we thought we hit a gold mine!

The much more would include a Hydro-drive in the combine, more than likely that 6600 was gear driven I think some of the late model XXOO SERIES JD came with the option with a Hydro, but maybe just the 7700.

Laura, I am 71 years old. I went to college at Washington State University in Pullman which is in the heart of the Palouse country which is the wheat growing capital of Eastern Washington. I was in school from 1973 to 1976. That was right at the beginning of the use of the kind of combines similar to what you feature in todays video. Just ten years earlier than that wheat farmers in the Palouse were using crawler tractors with pull behind combines. Wheat farmers in the 70's in the Palouse would have never believed what kind of machines would be in use today. The wheat farmers of the '70's were grateful to finally have air conditioned cabs. The machine dealers back when I was in school were selling John Deeres, Steigers, Gleaners, Internationals and others just to name a few. The average wheat farm in the Palouse in those days was about 1500 to 2000 acres. And most of that was made of rolling hills that were challenging to plant, let alone harvest. Lots of Stearman biplanes and Grumman Ag-Cats and Ag-Wagons were still in use for spraying. All of them were using big radial engines. No turboprops back then.

[@JimDavidson-tb7qv]

Hi Laura, Grant and Gage When changing tires on trucks with cast spoke wheels the “tabs” are called dogs. Obtaining the proper alignment is important. To check this simple place a block on the ground next to the tire and then rotate the tire to verify the wheel is on straight. Loosening the dogs and moving the wheel on the spokes will help to get the proper alignment.

Really enjoyed this video. What a testimonial to the older equipment. Even after sitting for many years, a little grease and oil, check over everything and it's ready to roll. Can you imagine one of the new combines or even tractors made now, being ready to roll after sitting so long? First place, wiring would be destroyed by the mice and probably anything electronic wouldn't work, or would be destroyed by them hungry mice. That older equipment was so much simpler, which made it almost bullet proof.

In 1970 my grandpa had to retire from farming due to health reasons. At that time his “big” tractor was a WD45 Allis Chalmers, he also had an “A” and a “B” John Deere. For harvest equipment he had a two row New Idea corn picker and an Allis Chalmers pull type combine. I fondly remember riding along with him.😇
