Top Ten Farmall Tractors

[@CrazyDEquipment]

Folks I made a small mistake the 560 had a 6 cylinderengine in it not a for my mistake accidentally read my notes wrong while we were filming didn't catch it until it was too late we will get it edited least at some point here

[@travismclemore2788]

The 560 was also available with torque amplifier. Neat machine. Thanks for all your hard work and effort Crazy D!!!

[@marvhackman1729]

You also mentioned that the 560 replaced the 460 which is not correct the 560 and 460 were built at the same time

[@slundgr]

My uncle had a 560 Farmall that I loved to drive even more than the conventional 660 and Farmall 1206 he had, and the 1206 had a cab but no AC. The 560 had a buggy top umbrella which was great because there was shade and sometimes a breeze that helped keep you cool. Being in Oklahoma there was always wind but it was not always cool in the summer. The 560 would do almost 20 mph in road gear, and using the brakes it could turn on a dime. Great for works row crop.

[@FarmallFanatic]

Have this discussion on my birthday? Absolutely!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I have a 560 Farmall and absolutely love it. It has nice smooth 6cylinder power and works great on the blower for filling silo. The only thing I need to change is the back end needs a little more weight. It is a little light and spins out kind of easy. And yes, it absolutely flies in road gear.

[@travismclemore2788]

Our 1949 farmall H is my favorite. It had a power kit in about 1974. Everything on it is basically rebuilt. Love pulling the sickle with it!!!

[@driftlesshunter9200]

I grew up on Farmall tractors. I learned how to let out a clutch (@ age 8 or 9) on a 1948 Farmall H, which is still in the family. I think my Dad learned to let out a clutch on that same tractor, & he turned 80 recently. I spent hours & hours on a H, 350, 806, 574, & 966 while growing up. While we had the 806 & 966, our neighbor across the road had the 856 & 986. They were all great tractors then & still today. Most of these tractors have gone on to other homes, but my parents still have the 1948 H that my grandpa bought new in upper Michigan & later brought down to their new small Wisconsin dairy farm in 1952. I remember county fairs having tractor pulls that were dominated by Farmall tractors!

I learned to drive on a 140..i will never forget driving around on the sand hill listening to Hot Fun In the Summertime on the fender AM radio ....we also had a 560 and a 806

[@justinstearns9723]

The 450 is my favorite Farmall out of the ones I’ve run. A bit hard on gas, but one hell of a workhorse. Fast hitch, TA, live pto and hydraulics, power steering, makes them super handy.

[@dennisholst4322]

What rpm on 450 and 400 sounded like a overrev M

[@williammay5300]

My grandfather had a Farm all Super A and it pulled a 2 disk plow with claws that stuck out in front of the drive wheels and bar thar went from the plow wheel to the steering wheel of the tractor, and had a farm all tricycle Super M that pulled a 3 disk plow from the middle of the tractor! Farm all tractors my number 1 favorites!!

[@jackgreenlund9904]

Love having the pictures of the tractors as you talk! Kudos

[@dulcimerginny]

i can't tell you how surprised I was that you picked the Regular as number 1 absolutely agree with your choice. I think that the regular and the F series Farmalls are the most beautiful tractors ever built, but then I favor the look of automobiles of the 1920's and steam locomotives of the same era. Streamlining hid the beauty of all things mechanical. I really enjoy your presentations , keep up the good work

[@Mojave9370]

I had a 1954 Super MD. It didn't have T/A or live PTO. But it was a workhorse. I cultivated with a 461 front mount cultivator. I also plowed with a model 70 , 4-14s plow.

[@briandietrich1373]

The 656 was another one of my favs too!

[@tdgreenbay]

I think you really forgot the 656 the 56 series did and brought more innovation than even the 06 series

Even though I bleed Persian Orange, I also have a soft spot for Farmall. I have many friends that, between them, own most if not all of the tractors in this video-many of them still working tractors.

In the early 70's I worked at a local cemetery. We had 2 1960 Cub's with 72 inch mower decks underneath. For the 5 years I worked there the Cub's never failed to start and were used every day. Their only downtime was for routine maintenance which mostly consisted of oil changes. We greased them every morning before work, and cleaned them afterwards. We had 2 Ford 2000's that were constant trouble, but not the Cubs.

[@JackOSUrulz]

I have such fond memories of the Cub. My dad always said the Cub was used to mow golf courses. Watching him mow for 25 years with it on their land, I believe it. It had a Woods belly mower and was just AWESOME. To this day, nothing cuts their land like that Cub did. As my dad got older he felt he deserved a new tractor, so he bought a new Kubota in the early 2000s. I think he regretted that decision later...

[@hunterthane5397]

Finally one of my tractors makes the list the 560 have a 1466 and a JD 60 aswell haha

[@deanwhitaker7374]

I grew up on a farm in the 50s & 60s!!! My father had several farmall tractors that I can remember. To start out with was the B tractor and that one was used for racking hay and pulling wagons where they needed to be and dad had a H that was used for the heavier work and my Grandfather had the big Boy he had the superM that was the best tractor that was a horse. Then dad got a 350 farmall but that wasn't the tractor that M was lol then in 1964 dad got a 806 farmall that changed the whole farming purduction dad got much bigger in the field work but then in 1968 my dad sold out. That when a lot of the farmers where going out. Well I'm 70 and I can still to this day remember everything about the farms we farmed. God Bless and keep up the good work.

I grew up running a D-17 and 7080 Allis along with a 1568 Binder on our family farm. On the other hand, my uncle always ran Fords so I spent a lot of time on them too. They were always tough, reliable tractors.

[@kennethstanton5407]

Sympathies lol. Had a Jubilee with a loader on it. Definitely wasn't anywhere close to powerful enough or tough enough for that. Also picked corn with a one row mounted picker on it for a couple seasons which was another job for which it was way too small and badly equipped. Poor thing had a tough life. So glad when it was finally replaced by an IH 574 and later an IH 684.

[@scottmain7898]

Growing up I drove the Farmall 560 6 cylinder gas tractor. My personal favorite was the Farmall 706 diesel engine

[@dustyroads5753]

First tractor I think of when it comes to "old school" is the farmall h, second is the farmall m. 3rd is green and it's the John Deere G. Every farm I ever seen up to the turn of the 21st century had 1 or multiples in that order. Now days most sadly wouldn't dream of climbing on a tractor that didn't have a cab, AC, and a radio 😒. I still use my H and M 😁

For the sake of this argument, let's just start with the original farmall. That was great, so the improvement of it was the f-20. Let's make one a little bigger and one smaller (f-30&f12/f14).

1206 indeed. Ours was the most versatile tractor used on our farm in the 1980s. Ran planter, harrow, cultivator, and pulled an IH 914 combine. The 1466 probably would have more easily run the combine, but dad always said the 1206 had better gearing, and the Year-A-Round cab gave it better visibility.
