That was an awesome video !! I remember riding with Poppa on his John Deere 55R in the mid 60's ! I'd level out the rice in the hopper. I was 5 years old, next year I was on a tractor, and grain cart, a Moline G VI with a hand clutch !! 😁😉👍👍✌ 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Great piece of history. My grandfather had a Massey Harris. It was a game changer back in the day.

[@pedrocastorena4057]

Massey harris or massey ferguson?

[@backachershomestead]

@@pedrocastorena4057 Massey Harris, my father had Massey Ferguson's in the 70s and 80s.

[@backachershomestead]

@Ian Hotson My dad had I think an older 760 and later i think a 860. If i remember correctly. He said best machines he ever owned.

[@johnallen5996]

@@backachershomestead agree. MF set the standard with those machines then.

[@Russ4704]

The green John Deere is what my family had, spent a lot of hours on that machine and driving the Chevy grain truck to the granary. Long dusty days.

[@seconduser1809]

My dad still used those old combines in the late1960s and early 1970s. They needed constant repairs by then, but new combines we're just too darn expensive.

Must be back in the day when relatives got together and got things done .

Nice video...music is over the top

[@boydx4687]

I lived on a farm at Felt Idaho for a little while. About twenty miles away. 55's had a unique sound when they were running. Even when they were going behind the trees I could tell the difference between a 55 and my uncles Gleaners or Massey-Fergusons.

Couldn't we just watch these without all the music

[@pedrocastorena4057]

Wow.. Beautiful..

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

Notice how the sky is such a nice blue right down to the horizon? Not like that now.

[@tacodoritos691]

Yup the climate was different back then.

[@gsmscrazycanuck9814]

@@tacodoritos691 yes it was. More heat and fewer volcanic eruptions. Also more solar activity. We are finally getting some heat this year. Nothing like I remember in the 70s, but better than the last twenty years.

[@tacodoritos691]

@@gsmscrazycanuck9814 yup

[@nikomotion]

I have seen so many of the Massy Harris combines rusting a way. :(

[@paulmaxwell8851]

Great old machines! And nice sound track too. Who is that?

[@BrianDHoefs]

Like the video. I wonder what the barrel on top of the canopy on the Massey Harris was for? Water?

[@AlanBaum]

The hollow barrel had a fan in it, that blew cleaner air from above to help keep the chaff away from the driver. I'm glad you liked the video.

[@BrianDHoefs]

Any idea what the name of the sound track is? It’s kinda catchy.

[@arthuscarlier5880]

Who owns this music?

[@rickiemckillip8124]

I only saw 1 John Deere combine
