Farmall Super C Corn Chopping 1 Row Chopper

[@ThomasWilliams-ee6li]

I learned to drive tractors on a Super C in 1972. We used that thing for cutting hay, raking, grain and hay wagon pulling, and as a PTO for almost anything. It's great to see one still in use.

[@rosskustom9676]

Don't understand why everyone is worried about this young man putting a stright pipe on his tractor...its his!. Can we not take a minute and enjoy that a young man is farming old school! And getting it done..this is real farming not government hand out welfare corporate farming with the latest computer gadgets on an overpriced plastic tractor that drives itself . This young man deserves credit for wanting to learn the old ways...as for straight pipes burning valves...old tractors came with straight s from the factory...doesn't hurt a thing

[@brenterickson1695]

Cow chow.... Don't ever underestimate a Super C....Nice watching a young man getting the job done....

[@crappiestomper3100]

We had a 717 back when I was growing up. Ol'gal did a pretty good job. Looked like the knives needed sharpening and the sheer bar adjusted a tad. Brought back memories. Loved it!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the straight pipe on that motor for farm use actually damages the valves. If he was going to use it for tractor pull it’s ok for the use is limited. I’ve seen the valves after a summer of straight pipe on an H and all were burnt! This is true farming at its finest. You did a good job son.

[@rottmanthan]

also sounds like crap.

[@henryofskalitz2228]

that is a very old wives tale that doesnt affect anything modern from the 20th and 21st century

[@HowardFarms1]

Great job utilizing the sweet corn fodder for silage. And great job using tried and proven older machinery!

[@Big_J_435]

Glad to see that old C still farming. Nice work, man!

[@dinchy-chan3514]

Who asked ???

[@flatbedtruckingsamrides.9355]

Impressive to see a C pulling that off. Our M with a single row corn chopper & full size chopper box really worked hard. We would hook the Super C to the M on that last leg to pull up Sugar Ridge (MI sand farmers). I just bought a Super C out of Missouri a few days ago (why I am here) with a Woods mower deck for our little 50 acre airport. This tractor will live out its glory days with an easy life.

[@edadpops1709]

Works great. Nice vid.

[@OldRedTractors]

I think it did a great job. The Super C is an outstanding tractor. I have a 53 Super C and its my favorite one.

[@dongrant5827]

When I saw the title, I wondered how you could pull this off. Then I see the sweet corn, already picked! In my youth, our power was a John Deere 3020, and pulled a one row chopper in silage corn, 12’ tall, ears in tact.

[@michaelhuppe5151]

Back in the 60s my dad used a McCormick 55W baler that used a Super C engine to run it,, awesome sound in heavy alfalfa!

[@oldiron4135]

I use my 54 Super C to cut and bale hay. I use a New Holland 469, 9' haybine. Cant go fast, but gets the job done and does about 5 acers. Then I go over and do neighbors and they have a pretty good hill and she works going up it. Manure spreader? Only thing I can see doing that is to keep the chopper balanced with the narrow front on tractor. The Super C is small tractor, but for many many years they got used when a bigger tractor was down. Everyone thinks of the big ol JD 8100 and bigger today, but during that time, not even close to how big they are today. There is stories of farmers plowing up 200 acers with them and they rose to the occasion and got it done. Its 1954, they used what they had.

[@30acreshop_time]

They probably have the manure spreader on it for green manure. Silage can create a lot of nitrogen when rotted in the ground

[@oldiron4135]

@@30acreshop_time Mmmm corn is not a legume and it depletes nitrogen from the soil. P is phosphurus and K is potassium which is removed from soil when fodder is remove or baled. Legumes, examples are kidney beans and best known is soybeans. These put nitrogen back into the ground. However, at a micorbial level, if you have stalks, roots etc you disced in, it takes a lot of carbon and nitrogen to feed the bacteria to break the stalks and roots down, so that amount of nitrogen is gone and not feeding the crops. There is a lot of research in this.

[@30acreshop_time]

@@oldiron4135 yeah I thought corn wasn’t, I’m not sure why I said it was a legume. I’m gonna start hobby farming a bit of land I own and I’ve been doing a lot of research so I know quite a bit about it. What I’ve learnt is that alfalfa is the best nitrogen fixing legume but it never leaves the soil so it’d be a really bad cover crop

[@kurtneumann140]

Looking 2 get a C to refurbish. Drove them in the 60s. Fun. Powerful for it's size. Nice video! You find me one in Wisconsin!

[@dannyboy7086]

Hi from Manitoba Canada, cool video. thx for sharing

[@ljconstruction9321]

Don’t see many with a fast hitch, I moved a lot of dirt, gravel, manure and snow with ours. Ours had a fast hitch with an 8 ft scraper.

[@gordoncarpenter1552]

Good old chopper I did a lot of chopping with one also in the 60 we had a 33 John deere spreader we took the beaters off with 6or8 bolts put a tail gate on and combine oats in with a 66 Allis combine

[@davidbarnes706]

Using what you have love it

[@timmiller3523]

this takes me way back

[@raimolehtonen]

Good Day! You have a name from Finland, Kolakoski. Fine video, old tractor works very well, cool enginesound.

[@garygrandadam7849]

Good job. I think it rocks.

[@jamesbuck555]

BEAUTIFUL 😊

[@robertnymand9889]

That's asking alot from the littie tractor. Must be sweetcorn. It is hanging right in there though.

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

yeah its sweet corn, it didn't put too much stress on the engine though

[@anman424]

We chopped a heavy 40ac on a 2 row 717 with a turbo'd forf 5000. I remember the transmission between my feet got HOT 😆

[@corydriver7634]

Interesting idea chopping into a manure spreader. I guess whatever gets the job done.

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

yeah i dont think the ol super c would tow much more than that haha

[@jaydownor3071]

Sweet corn that's all that is imagine trying to chop a regular field of corn LMAO

[@FarmallFanatic]

It might do it

[@brucejensen9958]

I've ground ear corn for cattle feed with one, it takes a while, not a work horse....🤔

[@1970bosshemi]

It will chop feed corn just fine. it’s not meant for huge farms obviously.

[@karlfischer1011]

There's the angry bumblebee sound! I stop by fields today and don't hear a sound coming from the chopper. What gives? 400 horse and 6 rows should be aeronautical!

[@fredschultz6468]

What sort or type of corn were you chopping there? Corn growing is pretty specialized in Australia, generally limited to BIG operations.

[@billsteinly8105]

That looks like sweet corn stalks. They're not very tall.

[@robertlong7033]

Fun to watch but it was under minimal load. And yes, as others have said . Straight pipes burn valves. So why destroy an engine for a few additional hp for a very limited amount of time?

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

I'm not worried about it

[@harrythehermit3685]

@@kolakoskifarm5323 It's an old wives tales. Not sure when the muffler became standard on the super series, but it was listed as optional on previous farmalls, although recommend in "urban" areas. Most people took the option.

[@farmallchris]

She sounds good

[@DIY_Rodg]

So cool!

[@mcleanfarmsryan3897]

Cant wait to see it put to the real test

[@KlineDeere]

Hey thanks for the video I like your channel what part of Maaah are you from

[@Pinecrofthillfarm]

Where's part 2 chopping field corn?

[@FarmallFanatic]

💥BOOM💥

[@granch4211]

Awsome the old manure spreader i also have a old one i use to haul fire wood lol it works awsome set up you have there i cut my beaters out easier that way

[@marykipp7268]

Hubby has 13 old manure spreaders for firewood, just load them up and leave them use as needed.

[@lennygerber5631]

Come to Iowa and try 250 bushel to the acre corn through that machine

[@adamstone6123]

Whole new meaning to eat where you shit...kinda!

[@beartechdeck]

Why are you chopping into a manure spreader?

[@r.lavernemiller9047]

Does a C have live PTO? I can,t remember!

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

i dont think so, when you push the clutch in it stops the clutch the same time as the transmission

[@dongrant5827]

Nope! When my father chopped corn with an M, he had to fast clutch it at the row ends so he could pop it out of gear, then let the chopper clear itself.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I think it would sound much better with a glass pak muffler. That would also alow you to hear what is going on in your pto, gearbox, and chopper. The way it is you couldn't hear if your tire was ripped open. Looks like a fools errand to me.

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

it may sound better but would not look nearly as cool haha

[@adamstone6123]

Multi use shit spreader I like it!!!

[@jaydownor3071]

Another comment just imagine how long will it take to get a wagon full LOL

[@markgamble8377]

Getting it done

Hey, i'm from Morrocco and i like to move working in usa, can you help me to find a job over there plz

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤

[@randybennett5417]

Never saw anyone chop into a shit spreader before.

[@randygrider9758]

I wouldn’t even call that corn.

[@kolakoskifarm5323]

it is called sweet corn
