Top 10 Big Farm Machines

[@fishermanii4137]

Great video..

[@derekmatthews8965]

Awesome! I'm around your age, from Mendon NY and a farming family. I remember all the dealers you mentioned and it was a nice trip down memory lane. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Mendon is a nice area. I ran many cross country races at Mendon park. Those were some great dealers. I wish I had pictures of them.

[@Chisszaru]

I've been interested in these machines since the first time i saw and heard a tractor. I don't remember when it was or how old i was, but i was quite young. One of the first memories i have was when i got to steer a Fendt 700 series tractor by the age of 6. I did it out on the field, so no collateral damage. The first tractor i worked with was a Fiat 110-90, bailing conventional hay bales. It's why i love watching these videos.

[@jeffpaggett7274]

Steiger is still the best looking tractor to this day - even with it's new brand.

[@jaybee2344]

Very true.. BTW Doug Steiger one the Founders is still alive. He got to see first FIRST model built getting restored and shown at a Tractor Show.

[@nytechteacher7432]

I grew up and still live in Canandaigua, NY. The first 4-wheel drive I drove was my uncles JD 8640. The first tractor I drove was my Grandmother’s JD 40S which I now own. Thank you for sharing so much information.

[@perrypavlat6909]

As a little kid I would ride with my grandpa on a JD A with 3 btm plow. Learned the 'art' of plowing from him. When I was in college my dad bought a used IH 806. Our first diesel tractor, seemed so big, just a toy today. Still have both of them, great machines!

[@johnthompson4162]

In 1973 Dad bought a 4568, remember bumping my head having rough time in it. I was getting pretty tough by the time I was seven. Spent lots of time watching 10x18 plowing with him. Love that tractor. I am 50 and still farm, he's 83. Great Dad!!! John T. He still drives tractor. He drives 8760 JD. I was born red, I bleed red, I'll die red. JohnT.

[@SimonKL11]

It's cool to hear the history about the man who makes great videos😉👍 You filmed some great machines over the years👍😁 Thank you👍👍

[@jebaycock872]

Yeah I got a small collection of Allis-Chalmers tractors in my building where I collected when I was a kid

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice. What’s your favorite Allis?

[@joshwon2]

Thanks for sharing your history, I am from south central PA. I been around a dairy farm working as a kid in the summers. My neighbors were hay growers. Taking my first ride in a combine was something I will never forget. I wish I could go back to my youth so I could be a farmer now.

[@clintonstubbs2319]

I remember my first tractor ride with my dad. A John Deere 5400. Him and my uncle have a John Deere 2950. Most of what you have shown on this video I haven’t seen. But I do remember when I first saw the first CaseIH Quadtrac in 1997 when I was in the 7th grade. I saw it at a farm show called Sunbelt in Moultrie, GA. I still like tractors like you do and enjoy the videos Jason.

[@Cenlafarmtoys]

Great video Jason! When I was a kid it was watching an IH 815 combine harvest soybeans in the field by my house which started my fascination with farming and like you I would bring my farm toys outside to play while watching the farmers work in the fields too.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I like the 15 series. A farm down the road from me had a 915. I have filmed an 815 and 615 so far.

[@matthewallen9852]

Love the video’s congratulations on ten years hope for many more years keep up the great work

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you.

[@kennethstanton5407]

Definitely made me smile. I grew up working with pretty much all of the tractors or their close siblings in this video on our large dairy farm in southwestern Ontario. 1066s, 1466s, 1468, 2+2s, 4166s, Steigers (mostly Bearcat, Panther), Versatiles, tons of different green and yellow jobbies of course, 1370, 2470, 2670, and some very limited experience with the Ford TW tractors in the 150 hp range and a handful of Allis tractors. Thousands of hours on various skid steers as well. I still smile when I see them working. As another commonality, I graduated from the U of R as well, so I am completely familiar with all of the spots you were talking about in the Rochester region. I probably drove past all of the farms and dealerships you spoke of at one time or another. Fond memories of that region. My two year old son is a big fan of your channel as well and seems to share my specific interest in the big Steigers and their Case/IH/Steiger descendants.

[@trevorabbyyardley2232]

Sounds like we have similar childhood memories. I loved watching the farmers around our house and playing with my toy tractors. Thanks for these memorable videos.

[@bigtractorpower]

👍👍. It was a great time in life. Thank you for watching.

[@blueovaldawgs]

4440 will always be my favorite but I got a thing for the Fendt 1050 nowadays. Thanks for all your videos and happy anniversary

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

My all time favorite is the Farmall H. My favorite "new" IH tractor is the 3588. Still remember sitting in a couple new ones at the local dealership owned by my great uncle & the chance to have a good many rides in the neighbors when he bought one in '81. That neighbor ended up renting out my grandparents farm when they retired. Spent many an hour watching it plow, disc, chop hay & corn. Was traded in in the mid 90s on a new 7130. Not as cool, but still an excellent machine. Great video, BTP! Here's to another decade of YT worth watching. Regards!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍. Allot of the 2+2’s I grew up watching were traded for 7140 and 7130 Magums. One was replaced by a 9130 Steiger.

[@dimduk]

My Grandpa had a 4020 and it was a great tractor. He used it for everything from tillage to grain cart hauler. He farmed 320 acres but never bought nothing bigger because he said time was free and the 4020 was paid for.

[@anthonydevito4450]

I love all tractors,especially ones from the 60s-90s,but my all time favorite would be have be the international 856,as it’s the first tractor I ever remember being around

[@DoEverythingWell]

I love our 1086 International Tractor that we have on our farm. Great vid and happy 10 years of the channel! There is no better feeling when it’s just you, a big farm machine, and a wide open field in the middle of no where. I’d ask my grandparents to drive an extra 30 minutes to Kansas just to see all the Dealerships on the way which were Case, John Deere, New Holland, and a Gleaner Dealership. Great vid as always!

[@williamhalpin6713]

Thanks for mentioning the Halpin family dealership in Henrietta, NY. In business from 1953 to 1990. My all time fav tractors JD 4450 and Case IH 9130. We were also farmers

[@bigtractorpower]

Absolutely. It was a great dealership. I still have sales literature from the early to late 80’s from the store. It was a great place to visit. Do you have pictures of the dealership?

[@williamhalpin6713]

@@bigtractorpower yes I do at the auction in 1990

[@bobbysears6626]

We were always Ford people trucks and tractors. My favorite was the 9700 and our 7610 with dual power. Thanks for sharing BTP

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Ford was great when it was automotive and ag. You could build an a blue farm.

[@tombrockwell6961]

Loved hearing of your years growing up & how you gained interest in farm equipment.. how interesting!

[@davidoden]

I occasionally get to drive some of the big tractors that you fill and I still love watching the videos. lol

[@semiprofessional8470]

Thanks for sharing some of your background with us. These machines really mad a mark on me also. I'm blessed to have grown up in this country.

[@jagdeshramjag]

Love this video. The narrator reminds me of myself growing up. I was just as curious and fascinating about tractors and heavy machinery.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@paulc.sachsejr.7209]

Favorite tractor is the Ford 8000 also my first Ertl tractor when I was a kid...

[@jm7488]

Here's to 10 more years of great content! Keep up the great work

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you.

[@baraktzfanya3980]

I worked the Case 2470 model 1973 for many years, until mid 80's some time.. It was a good and reliable tractor, but needed a lot of maintenance and care.

[@bigtractorpower]

Wow. A 1973 is hard to find these tan. It was painted Desert Tan. In 1975 Case switched to white paint. Other than sales literature I have not ever seen a tan 2470. I hope to find a tan one to film someday.

[@JuggernautSam]

The Case quadtracks get me feeling some kinda way when I see them, but no matter what tractor I drive or see, my favorite will always be the International 806 I spent my entire childhood riding on and driving. Close second is the International 560. We still have both on the farm. The 806 is still used almost every day.

[@Richard-ob5zn]

Steiger 480 what a beauty. So quite, music to my ears. Could watch it all day.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. The 480 looks great in the classic Steiger colors.

[@GoldenSectionBanned]

Great video. We bought a new Steiger Cougar 251 in 1980 and they had a special deal where Cummins turned up the fuel pump to 310 hp on the 855 Cummins. We had it in for service once and had the pump turned up to 335 hp. It needed an aftercooler if we wanted to go higher 20 speed transmission and 23 mph on the road. We never put fluid in the tires and kept it at its stock weight of 27000 lbs but we drove faster with narrower equipment. We used an IH 47’ Vibrachisel which is a field cultivator and not a chisel plow for spring and fall tillage and it pulled it at 7 mph idled back at 1700 rpm to save fuel. We farmed just Northwest of Winnipeg Manitoba Canada and because interest rates went through the roof to 20% we leased it for 5 years with a total cost of $102000 Canadian! We used it for seeding and pulled an IH one way disk which had seed and fertilizer boxes on them. The units were each 16’wide and 3 were hitched together to make it 48’ wide. They pulled at about a 30 degree angle to the left of the tractor which created a lot of side draft. We pulled those at 7 mph also in a one pass tillage and seeding operation. You had to seed counter clockwise and fill up in a corner as the disks stopped cutting during that turn. You started off with them in the ground so it was hard on the clutch. Afterward we would drag harrow twice to help level and pack the soil around the seed with a Versatile 80’ wide harrow bar pulled by a Case 1270.

I find it amazing when we came to Canada and see the big Tractors working the fields. Compared to the small tractors in the Netherlands at the time

[@wymershandymanservice9965]

Spent a lot of hrs in a 1470. Then we replaced it with a 2670 and I thought I died and went to heaven. Great content.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I just featured a 1470 TK open station in a plowing video this week. The 2460 and 2670 were a big change from the 1200 and 1470. I like Case 4wds. 👍👍

[@Cattelinoable]

I enjoy all the farm equipment. The Fox Chopper was a 'dream machine' when I was younger simply because I knew we could not ever afford to get one. A farmer in the area I now live in had one and I enjoyed seeing it in action when we visited them. In 2012 I was honored to be the vice-chair for the WI Farm Technology Days event, which was held in my home county that year. The Fox Chopper was made in that county so it was fitting that it was the commemorative toy for the event. 1,000 were sold. Selling online now for over $1,000. I won't sell mine. Second pick would be the commercial applicators. Whether it be a Miller Pro, JD, Case IH, or other brands these machines are great to work with.

[@davidstout5883]

I love all tractors and always have. I have owned several brands but mosely because I can't afford to buy new. I get a tractor I like or afford run it awhile and get another one . I would like to keep all of them but can't afford to. I love watch your videos. I imagine owning or at least running them. Keep up the good work you are doing a great job.

[@greg10469]

I used to work at J.P. HALPIN & SONS in henrietta NY from 1988-1989. First year I set up the lawnmowers second year I sold parts and yeah the new equipment sitting outside was nice to look at everyday. They moved (I think) $7million of equipment for John Deere one year. Fun job.

My first tractor was a Oliver 660 pulling a International McCormick No. 46 Small Square Baler at age 6 in 1974 on a dairy farm in southern MN. I still can hear the motor pulse to the beat of the baler.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.

[@staggerinstanton56]

Did anyone else start itching when he talked about combining oats and the fella had the combine door open?

It’s a catch 22 bake inside the cab or itch from dust. Air conditioned pressured cabs were a huge advancement.

Awesome video and loved hearing your history. I farm in Lima NY so we grew up close by. JP HALPIN AND SONS was my favorite dealer to visit as a kid. Thanks for your shout out to our agricultural area! Midwest guys don’t even realize we farm here. I also know that growl you’re talking about with the 4786s. My neighbor had a 4586 and as a kid I laid awake at night listening to him plowing nearby with an ih 720 8 bottom plow all through the night. I loved that sound!

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍. Very cool. Halpins was the best. When they closed in 1991 they gave me the big Titan Country Combine poster that hung over the parts counter.

Favorite tractor? International 674 utility w/the model 2250 quick tach front end loader. On our farm, that was our heavy hitter for almost 40 years, along with it's little brother, the 574, with as needed assistance from the Farmall 350. Skid loader is a Bobcat 440B model. Our dairy farmer neighbors couldn't figure out how we were able to farm as much ground as the smallest of them with only 1/4 to 1/3 the iron. We told them it's because we were smart, and raised hogs instead :-):-):-)
