One Man Harvesting

[@nealbeach4947]

The manure spreader was the only implement that the salesman wouldn't stand behind.

Neal Beach Hahaha!

I first heard that joke from a family friend who used to work for Sperry Corporation in their Univac division. Sperry owned New Holland at the time so it was, "New Holland made the only product that Sperry wouldn't stand behind."

[@michaeldouglas1243]

I had a great uncle that worked on the farm with us many years ago when I was a teenager. He always joked what was the dumbest machine on a farm? Manure spreader. It constantly kicks the shit out of itself. 😅

[@jackbarnes9728]

Imagine doing all that without a seat belt, helmet, safety glasses, a cab, A/C, radio and most of all NO WHINING. People don't know or appreciate how easy they have it now days.

[@harrimanfox8961]

ahh I miss the days where we used to get heat stroke, dust, metal and sand in our eyes, and how we used to fall out and get crushed to death by our equipment.

[@american_patriot1776]

@@harrimanfox8961 i still do. People wonder how i went over 2 years into the pandemic without getting covid or the vax. And i dispise masks. I tell them its because of all the gas, diesel, wd40, rust, oil.

[@nicke1903]

Hell I was born in 85 worked on a farm in my teens and the only cab I ever was around on a tractor was a MF 165, it had no heat, no air, you could open the windows.....I rather use a open station with a sunshade/canopy than that in the summertime. It was always a hot, dusty job seemed like, old Ford 5000 Diesel was what I used most the time.

IHave a Farmall Cub now and my seat has a spring in it. Heaven

[@jeffreyrobinson7149]

Sounds like a good time to me

[@matthewhorton7374]

This video is really cool I also liked the 1939 Farmall promotional video featuring the A, H, and M when they first came out. These tractors and equipment really were state of the art when they came out

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

It's all fun & games until you have to get your new spreader dirty. :-D

[@trackhoe23]

Sounds like Paul Harvey.

[@redvalve]

I loved running farm machinery in the mid 60s on. I can't imagine the skill it took to start a Farmall H or M up with a forge harvester and a wagon without live PTO.

[@sawyerahbiesadventuressaa4158]

I miss my super M miss the farm....

[@hankelrod7315]

Love these videos!!!

[@stephenrice4554]

Great films for historic value , great voice , nearly as irritating content as today , but as a mine of information for rebuilds etc great .

[@dougdemaree1963]

Paul Harvey.....Good Day...!!!!

[@haweater1555]

The newest Deere cotton harvester-balers: One man operating it can replace the hand work of around 500 to maybe 1000 workers ( slaves, originally).

[@jackbarnes9728]

There are a lot of people who picked cotton who weren't slaves, or black. Actually the overwhelming majority of people picking cotton back then were white. Not all the farmers back then were big plantations back then, those farmers who had plantations & slaves were the 1%. So you're overlooking the 99% of farmers back then who the farmer and their family picked it themselves and how many acres they planted was decided by how much they could pick. Cotton picker didn't come out til 1940-50's and it still got planted every year & picked before they came out.

[@dodge-ut6ti]

Thanks really enjoyed this video.

[@Topher5789]

I did find on the internet mentioned that the video was made in Color, in 1945.

[@davidkimmel4216]

Interesting

[@jimwade3064]

Paul Harvey ?

[@Joe6packAmerican]

I sure miss the steady voice of Paul Harvey.

[@KC2DZB]

I just saw that Spotify has a Paul Harvey channel called The Rest of the Story Revisited.

[@snydedon9636]

I thought that was Paul but wasn’t sure. He was always great to listen to no matter what the subject was.

[@bbruce995]

13:57 WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS KIND OF CREATIVITY FOR SMALL FARMERS? THIS IS SO UNIQUE , THE DESIGNERS REALLY CARED ABOUT WHAT THINGS LOOKED LIKE AND HOW THEY FUNCTIONED, THEY USED TO MAKE THINGS WORK IN THE PAST, BUT TODAY THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE A RETURN CUSTOMER BECAUSE THE MACHINES ARE NOW MADE WITH CHINESE JUNK AND ELECTRONICS

[@dr.phil-federalinspector6023]

This is how we did it in the 50's &.60's.. Those were the Great Days to..I lived em with me Grandpa..Dad..& me.. God I miss those days...living was cheap..family was family...Country folks stuck together..Political shit wasnt really a huge pile of crap like it is today...America was good economically...there was none of this shit we have today.. $.50..cents.was $.50..cents..not $.10 cents like it is today.. God Blessed America... Now today..the Political assholes have taken God out of almost every building in America....And tha damn Democrats have just about ruined America with GREED.....Go Trump Go USA..lets get it Back....2020... pel..Wichita,Ks. Vietnam Veteran USA...and thanks Paul Harvey for your words in the videos...r.i.p. old friend...we miss you at 12 noon everyday in America..

[@canvids1]

I was about 12 in early 50's I got to operate the Farmall and that baler same kind of baler. It was famous for missing knots and for power it had a 4 cylinder Wisconsin engine. Hey big money back then $1.00 per day LOL.

[@JohnAsmith-rw6uo]

You know what they say.....An IH baler is one of the best ways to put up lose hay ...​@@canvids1

[@SeattlePioneer]

Actually, I can sell American silver coins, minted before 1964, for TWENTY TWO times face value. So a silver dime is worth $2.20. TWO silver dimes can buy you a gallon of gas.

[@philipengel6106]

It sounds like Paul Harvey was the narrator.

[@hubertbergen3000]

Even the old 1 row choppers we're an improvement over cutting and shocking the corn by hand ,then loading the shocks by hand and hauling them to the silo and feeding them into a cutting box to fill the silo.

[@greggergen9104]

On a relative to what was before it basis, probably the biggest improvement ever.

[@stuartrussell8529]

You can't beat these videos!

[@Hankbhomeless]

Running an old 1 row corn chopper is now nothing more than a collector item. I cant imagine these guys seeing a 800 horsepower New Holland self propelled chopping 12 rows at a time

[@haweater1555]

5:50 "Easy, isn't it?" Well, maybe not for the fellow forking inside the wagon. 12:50 Yikes! Leaning to the left over a bump makes me a even more nervous about operating such a high centre of gravity machine on sidehills. Note the completely flat ground they're being demonstrated on.

[@macoyreiber4482]

Working on good hills necessitates a leveling system, used since horsedrawn days. These combines were some of the first to get them, however by what I've seen in local back pastures, pull-types were more common throughout the 50s.

[@dedrakuhn6103]

Is that Paul Harvey's voice? Sounds like it

[@hillert1967]

THAT IS WHAT I WAS WONDERING TOO...SOUNDS LIKE HIM TO ME ALSO

How well I remember those days... Hard work... yes, but a sense of accomplishment and I could look back and see what I got done at the end of my day😊

[@duanebolen543]

I had a spreader exactly like that when I was Raising Hogs and that was a real nice spreader to use

[@richardnelson6801]

when the United States farmers fed and clothed the world !

[@ericlakota6512]

The old combine reminds me of the indian style where they buy whole comines all diff makes and modells and they have. Ramps for their tractor that drives onto the combine and the tractor powers and acts as operation cab then after harvest

[@fordbossss]

Wonder how them cows are doing today..

[@pallmall5495]

I think this video was made the same year Burger King opened.Sooo...not good.

[@donplautz9788]

Great video really enjoyed it 🚜

[@haweater1555]

4:25. Save your money on that unsafe wagon hoist and buy a self-unloading wagon, save that heavy work of forking wet silage.

[@donaldmack7213]

Is the narrator Paul Harvey a man who had a radio program in the 60’s and 70’s?
