Farming in The 70's and 80's with IH part II

[@TerminatorFRA]

70's were definitely the the age of farming in the states. IH for the win !!!

[@wesfriessen4266]

When the struggle on our farm was at it hardest somehow my Dad managed to purchase a Brand new 1066 with air tilt PS PB radio heater. It was so amazing to think how this blessing was gifted to us. No more sweating or shivering or dirt in our eyes. My dad thanked God for granting such wisdom to man. It saved our farm from bankruptcy. Looking at it now my son plugged it in yesterday put an exhaust hose from. A running pick up truck to the oil pan and started it at minus 38 just. Like it was summer. Had to auger some grain. We are still thankful for this 10 we call it every day. This video drew a tear or two.

[@elder81]

Those were the days!! Happy to have been a farmer back then!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Some of the best IH tractors ever made!!

[@Ihfarmer1066]

We need to go back to this time ⏲️😩 gone but not forgotten 😢

[@bluecoatscheesypoofs]

A great combination. Lynard Skynard and International Harvester! I like it!

[@briangarner2000]

Those were the good old days when family farmers made a good living. I remember seeing a lot of the tractors and equipment being used everyday in my home town of newport nc. IH was the best!

[@Buzzbox3rd]

I always come back and watch this vid. I just love it . Inter man through and through.

[@jdtheacman3685]

We had 1086 row crop tractors a few 4 wheel drive 325 HP Stieger Panthers for pulling 30 foot disc and chisel plows and doing some scraper work a 1460 IH combine with mud hogs. Also had a 4 wheel drive 200 HP articulated John Deere can't remember the number it had duels all the way around. The good ole days when u had to use the clutch on your tractors none of this hydrostatic stuff and not 3/4 of the electronics u actually had to drive you machine down the field and pay attention none of this auto track GPS that stuff is nice but to me it takes the fun out of running your equipment. We weren't doing no till either had to get in the fields every year and bow them 4 wheel drives up on them big disc and plows . Tilling the land was one of my favorite things to do it was mindless just don't get stuck in wet spots and raise them up on the end rows. Never forget the smell of freshly turned ground. We has some bottom land fields that stayed wet so every year the combines would dig 3 foot ruts then you'd have to rip and disc up them fields it got tough even with them big 4 wheel drive 8 tire Stiegers on 30 and 25 foot disc. Them 2 wheel drive 1086's with duels on 20 foot disc wouldn't do it just get stuck.

[@SchnelleKat]

Never heard of any JD tractors that were being used like these old work horses. Long live International Harvester...

[@joecameron3512]

that 16 bottom plow is massive awesome video love the old ih stuff

[@Buzzbox3rd]

2024 and still come back to this amazing vid.

[@braddyer4241]

man what a bunch of good old memeroys

[@jdhumm]

good red photos and great music

[@AntonioCastilloezj2006]

Great machines that will never return, it shouldn't have ended that way.

[@Northern_Farmer]

awesome vid...love them older ih tractors

[@nodakmatt76]

keep up the good work. i love old red tractors

[@ad356]

still allot of these tractors at work today, a 1066 goes by the house almost daily

[@farmhandstudios]

I do love farming now a'days, but i really wish i could go back and farm when all these machines were brand new

[@Ihfarmer1066]

Yes we need to go back to this time

[@jbllbj9281]

Awesome video. See even John Deere people had to watch it.

[@emanboychild]

Red Power - Awesome video

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Really sad here in my town what happened to IH, its division here in Australia was making brilliant profits in its day,they were recognised as way ahead of there time both in there products and innovation

[@farmall51]

Great job . IH forever

[@Ihfarmer1066]

Amen 🙏

[@collinreese8159]

So ahead of time for the 70s

[@Davobeff]

Good old tractors. we still crank up our 1066 farmall every now and then, she's old and rough but reliable.

[@theffa1928]

ahh, the good ole' days from the 70's and 80's, quite arguibly the Golden Age of International Harvester

[@Ihfarmer1066]

Oh definitely agree 100%

[@shawlewis6492]

The tractors with the rops and deluxe cabs in the 66 series are my favorite

[@Buzzbox3rd]

The parent company in north America closed its Australian division which was a crime, it closed a lot of its worldwide operations that werent doing well to save its arse in the states , it destroyed a beautiful company in Geelong Australia which led the way in innovation design , was a awesome company , i loved there gear. I think 1984 or 5 it closed here.

[@IHC1206]

Nice video!! The dual seeder at 5:13 is interesting. Excellent choice of music BTW.

[@LandFranch]

Was a simpler time.

[@shawlewis6492]

That is something we can all agree on

[@Ihfarmer1066]

We need to go back

[@carterrouth7801]

It still depresses me to this day knowing the fate of International Harvester. I grew up on a farm with nothing but Internationals and a few Versatiles/Fords. Tenneco company was the one that screwed it all up.

[@tyfrank3427]

Nice compilation

[@Tractorfreak98]

how could i go back.

[@lildjohnson95]

@lildjohnson95 sooo many memories, thanks man

[@1066POWER]

@TerminatorFRA. Thanks for the comment, Part III is in the making!

[@nfd1960]

IH purchased all of Steiger in 72, It was owned and run as a sep. company until the end just like Dresser Ind. All IH big 2+2s were a product of Steiger

[@ihus9950]

IH Tractors are still the best!

[@Diaperinfo]

Grandpa out seeding. Dad out bailing. Me and my brother milking...... those days are gone around here. Now everything is huge and the field work is subcontracted out. I miss the family farms that made international great. (and a few other brands that we wont mention.. but I love as well).

[@charlesbennett6242]

Amen!!!

[@maggiereid4564]

[@TheTractorguy140]

@freddythestandard INTERNATIONAL sadly went in 1985 there tractor division was sold to AGCO in 1986 i think an became CASE-IH

[@1066POWER]

@nonstop45039 Mostly from random searches on google, and some from books.

[@blur-d-vision1614]

Case is a real mans tractor and the right tractor to get the job done

[@Buzzbox3rd]

Ahead of their time , genuine gear to get the job done.

[@GUSTOVSKI]

[@lildjohnson95]
