Can We Farm Like The Good Old Days?

[@loisrinehart6755]

Laura, you talk about the good old days of the 70's and I think of the good old days of the 50's. Of course, I'm 75 years old and watched my granddad farm with an Allis-Chalmers model B and a hay cutter that was 5 feet across and combine that had a 4 head cutter bar. Good to see you're keeping the "old" stuff running and remembering your heritage. Thank you.

Lol, I am from Western Pennsylvania where much of this kind of equipment is still in use. We are not as large a farms or or is flat a ground most places is what you people have out there.

[@JohnBradley-ut2qi]

Just a little note, I was on my uncle's farm back in the late 40's and early 50's. He had a dairy farm and we milked between 40 and 50 head of cattle. I remember our corn fields. We used a picker that just cut the corn and blew it into a wagon. We then brought it down to the silo and had a chopper/blower that blew the copped corn into an upright silo. The chopper ran off the tractor via a long belt. What fun. He never did get a combine, he just stayed with what he knew. I am now 86 years old and I have found a couple of channels that remind me of the old days. Yours is one and I am enjoying them very much. Your old equipment brings back many memories. Of course my uncle didn't have much use for John Deere or Farmall equipment. He was a Massy-Harris tractor guy. Have a wonderful day and God Bless

[@Whiskey61]

If you are interested, there is a channel called Gierok Farms that has an old corn picker they have been using for their last couple videos. Sounds like they are using a set up today similar to what you had back then.

[@EdBrumley]

Quite fascinating! I’m 66 and lived out in the country with lots of neighbors farming all around. Growing up in the 60’s and 70’s I remember equipment just like this. No farmers had semis. All of them had grain trucks just like yours. I can remember one neighbor having a combine almost just like yours, but with NO CAB. Harvesting soybeans was brutal for him.

Hello! I am from South Georgia. I work for a local John Deere Dealer and I believe that the circuit breaker is a 30 amp breaker. The part number is AR49352. You have probably already got the problem fixed but if not I figured I would help out a little. Also I am 41 and I remember as a kid growing up in the 80's and 90's running a 6600, 6620, and a 7720. It was great. It was just my Dad and Grandpa and my self when I could finally reach the foot pedals of the tractors and combines.

My self and my family REALLY take my hat of to you and all farmers out there. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brucewatkins7163]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. This was so fun to watch and way more advanced than the method we used. I grew up on a small farm in central Minnesota. In the early 1960's we used a true corn "picker", not a combine. The picker delivered the whole ear of corn to an attached wagon. The whole ear was then transported to our corn crib for storage or to the grain elevator near by. On are best years we could hit 100 bushels to the acre and then we thought we hit a gold mine!

[@robertmeyerholtz8504]

I've watched your video and began to see the life that I had plowing our fields with a two bottom plow that you had to pull a rope at the end of the field to get it to go in the ground and pull again at the other end to get it to come out of the ground. Planted with a two row planter and harvested with a one row corn picker. Then shoveled the ears off the wagon into a corn crib. I'm 83 and can remember those days so clearly. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Love your videos.

[@stevengirouard8626]

Who this video brings back memories. Especially the grain trucks. I was born in 1972, started driving the tractors by 9 years old. We had three grain trucks very similar to this one. Our two main tractors were JD 4840’s and we had two MF 760’s and one 860 combine. One year in the eighties our dad overhauled the combines and tractors, including a new paint job. He had left over paint so he painted the cabs of the grain trucks green and the beds red. When I turned 15, I was moved to driving the trucks during harvest season and loved it, despite not having a/c. One of our carts was a PTO and the other was hydraulic driven both with fixed augers.

[@Namtov]

Preserving the ways, and the equipment, is so respectfull to the past. And it will make you appreciate autosteer, hydraulics, air suspension, navigation, aircondition etc etc MUCH MUCH more :-)

[@richardlug6139]

The much more would include a Hydro-drive in the combine, more than likely that 6600 was gear driven I think some of the late model XXOO SERIES JD came with the option with a Hydro, but maybe just the 7700. Can’t imagine what a pain of opening a corn field with a gear driven combine and having to shift from forward to reverse taking off the headlands

Hi Laura, Grant and Gage When changing tires on trucks with cast spoke wheels the “tabs” are called dogs. Obtaining the proper alignment is important. To check this simple place a block on the ground next to the tire and then rotate the tire to verify the wheel is on straight. Loosening the dogs and moving the wheel on the spokes will help to get the proper alignment.

[@mikemullay5622]

Laura, I am 71 years old. I went to college at Washington State University in Pullman which is in the heart of the Palouse country which is the wheat growing capital of Eastern Washington. I was in school from 1973 to 1976. That was right at the beginning of the use of the kind of combines similar to what you feature in todays video. Just ten years earlier than that wheat farmers in the Palouse were using crawler tractors with pull behind combines. Wheat farmers in the 70's in the Palouse would have never believed what kind of machines would be in use today. The wheat farmers of the '70's were grateful to finally have air conditioned cabs. The machine dealers back when I was in school were selling John Deeres, Steigers, Gleaners, Internationals and others just to name a few. The average wheat farm in the Palouse in those days was about 1500 to 2000 acres. And most of that was made of rolling hills that were challenging to plant, let alone harvest. Lots of Stearman biplanes and Grumman Ag-Cats and Ag-Wagons were still in use for spraying. All of them were using big radial engines. No turboprops back then.

The wheels on the "new" green truck are 'split rim' wheels.
