I'm an old man, grew up farming in New Mexico. lived in Washington, now live in Texas. I'll tell you how a farm decides "what color gear" to use... Its "USUALLY" dependent on WHAT COLOR dealer is closest to the farm. Not always, but it plays a big part! The farm I worked on as a kid, ran Green Tractors, but the Hay gear was 100% New Holland. worked on a Canola farm in Western Washington for awhile, they were dead Red!. Overall, after 55 years, I've concluded, .... They're all GREAT, and they ALL break!.... having parts and service nearby IS A BIG deal. Cheers

I enjoyed this video, I worked for 30 years in the quality department as an ASQC Certified Inspector OF Quality Assurance 64/94. We were in the prototype of the first QuadTrac. It was a converted Magnum. I also along with a half dozen other QA staff approved of the first 7100 Series Magnum that came from our old razed tractor plant. That and the foundry was first opened in around 1913. they have a new assembly plant in Racine Wisconsin Back then we had just bought the Fargo Plant from Stieger. Case has come along a long way since. Thanks for sharing this video. Wish I could have been there, Maybe they would have let this old Case guy drive!

The richest area of topsoil is Hardin and Grundy County in Iowa. You know you are there even at midnight with no moon. The black dirt aroma is everywhere. The color is black black. The texture has a feel of crops waiting to be grown. In the dead of night, just listening to corn growing is mesmerizing almost hypnotic. I was scrolling thru KZbin, and a picture popped up of Lauren Bacal. Ever since I viewed my first video of Laura Farms, you reminded me of this movie star. " Yes, Lauren. Grant reminds me of Carry Grant. Cool collected and generally a great guy. You two look so great together. I have been married 56 years. Yes, since 1966. My wife has tolerated me that long. You two are class, integrity, insightful, and such a treat to watch. Keep on teaching all of us how you farm today. Until next time.

Laura and Grant, normally the corn is much taller in that black soil at this time of year, but it was very dryer than normal in June and early July. However, the rains came at the perfect time just as the corn silked and tasseled. Great channel, keep it going!

I was raised on a green brand of tractor also! Oliver! Lol!. Oliver invented the color blind plow. Which meant it would hook up to any brand with a 3 point hitch. And as you make a turn at the end of the field the trailing wheel on the plow turns by way of the angle of the 3 point hitch as the tractor makes the turn which causes the plow to follow the tractor tire track to line up with the furrow quickly. That plow was in the Farm Progress Show in the 60's. I was around 6 years old at the time and I remember sleeping in the back of a 1960 Chevy Belair. And the car was turquoise of all colors. Thanks for all the videos you provide from your home and afar! Travel Safely!

A friend of mine farms with 2 quad tracked case tractors. He says once you go over a certain horsepower you can’t get the power to the ground where you can use it. Track life is as good as or better than tires. His 650 hp tractor pulls a 27 foot chisel at 30 acres an hour. His combine’s have tracks and he’s cut wheat in standing water and never got stuck. He says a benefit of tracks and big horsepower is reduced compaction in the soil.

in the early 80's, my parents bought an 8450 JD four-wheel-drive tractor... quiet cab, a/c, PTO, triple hydraulics, and a goofy transmission (3 ranges, 4 choices per, auto-shift between 1-2 or 3-4 in each range)... dual 18.4-38s all around, no shortage of traction... the hardest part for me was the articulated steering, the pivot point was roughly under (and a few inches ahead of) the seat - you felt like you moved sideways in turns, rather than steering on a knuckle like a rigid tractor...

So jealous. I first tried one of these back in the 90's when they came out. The ride on these is outstanding. The powershift is outstanding. I live/work in the city from home, but I have thoughts of getting one of these just for driving around town as I work from home permanently now. I have thought about when I retire to move down to Antarctica where they use these quad tracs for snow plowing and hauling around the research buildings. If you think the oil change hose is neat, check out the Fumoto valves. I replaced the oil plugs on my vehicles and have enjoyed changing oil ever since (the oil filter on the Honda is a real pain though) You should look into it for your equipment as I always hated changing oil because it was hot messy and a real pain when the plug drops into the bottom of a 5 gallon pail.
