I'm now forced to face the fact that I am now part of history - the equipment and methods that I was part of in the 60's and 70's truly were truly the "Golden Age of Farming." Dad made a good living farming - enough to provide for six kids, several dogs (and a pet raccoon!) I can't begin to tell you how that era of hard work, dusty clothes, sunburned necks and long hours trying to beat Mother Nature shaped me as a kid. We started learning to drive tractors when we were only 12. When we reached 14, Dad told us he would pay $4/hr to drive the tractors - about twice the minimum wage at the time. I told him he didn't have to pay so much, and he looked me squarely in the eye and said "You give me a good day's work, and I'm happy to pay a good day's wage." Started out on a Farmall 560 pulling a 10' disk. It was always kind of disheartening to disk all day in one field, finish for the day and look at how much field there was still left to do! Harvest season was noses clogged with soybean dust, fighting through muddy fields to get the crop in ahead of more rain. The family farm is now part of that history - Dad is now long passed, the acreage is being farmed by longtime neighbors, and the grain bins, buildings and elevators are now rusting quietly. But in its heyday, that farm was an amazing testament to one man's hard work and vision. Thank you for this video, bigtractorpower - you've given me a pleasant trip back to a simpler time!!

At least it is being farmed. My grandfathers farm is now part Mercer County Park, and all the other land I farmed with farmers I worked for until 1986, is now houses or office building. As my professor in Architecture school said, “New Jersey will be the first state paved from one end to the other.”

Bigtractorpower , it is hearwarming to hear you describe it as the golden age of farming. Even though I started out in 1995, I started with a 4020 and a 6600 on rented land. When I hire really good guys now, they are young men and good guys and ladies but really have no concept of what it would be like to pull a twenty hour day on an open air tractor with a dusty sandwich bag in the toolbox beside you. When I hire good people now, everything I have now is autosteer, air conditioned, gps mapping to my office etc, but there has been a tangible element that has been lost along the way I think between man and dirt and I am guessing many of your fellow subscribers may feel the same way as I. I hope in the year ahead you might consider doing a long feature specifically on years gone by for your subscribers and help capture it into history permanently. Thank you for your good work sir, you have my highest respect.

stay safe from what? I always wonder about that very common comment. Almost every video on everything will have a stay safe attached to it or some comment on how dangerous it is. My world isn't all that dangerous, I certainly hope yours is not, but then again you wouldn't need reminding to "stay safe" if it was. It makes me wonder how we all became "safety people" I've seen it most in our kids, it's too dangerous to go outside and play ball, or ride bikes unsupervised like we did, so they stay on the couch, play video games and get all the dangers that come from obesity such as diabetes and heart disease. When I went to school my class of 20 kids might have had 1 overweight girl and 1 boy. When I compare what I see in children from then and now I start to question all this safety and nutritional knowledge we've gained since the 80's. None of this is directed at you by any means, it's just something that I've been wondering about as I see our society changing. My thinking is we've taken another step in evolution like upright man, to tool maker, to now this new safety man. I don't think it's a step forward by any degree, but what do I know is they'll figure it out in a million years or something. All I know is 12 year old kids went from running jumping little animals to these big round chunk monster's who don't have the physical ability to run and jump, and now we're getting the adult versions of these chunk monsters and it isn't healthy, safe, productive, or anything good that I can see. I blame it all on this safety obsession that started a while back.

Great video Jay. Love the old iron. As you know I absolutely love moldboard plowing. Maybe you can do a video on the advancement of it from beginning to now,single bottom horse drawn plows to 10+ bottom on land and rollover models. Plowing still seems to be popular in Europe. Here it's become a method of the past, although I have seen it being done more now than the past 10-15 years. Keep up the great work, old carpet farmers as myself enjoy the amount of time and effort you put into these videos for all to enjoy. Hope to catch up next time you come home.

In the late 60's - early 70's and as a kid I was stuck on a TO30 Ferguson to plow with 2 -12's JD plow that the tongue was cut short to fit the tractor it was designed to be horse drawn, and a one row Woods Bros corn picker, so I guess I was farming with the pre golden era equipment, then we got a Farmall H , now that was a BIG tractor for us.

I use a John Deere 4020 tractor, 6620 combine, and 7000 planter for the grain portion of my operation. When I raised organic crops, I also used a F-145A 5-16 plow, and an FM belly mount cultivator. My last organic crop was 2 years ago, I use chemicals now. For the livestock, I have a JD 400 grinder/mixer, Schultz/Allis Chalmers 325 manure spreader (can't find ANY info whatsoever for this machine), and a Case 1845C skidloader. Except for the skidloader, I could be farming in the 80's. Take out the combine, and I'd be back in the '70's. I like the older equipment, though. I'm just a young gun starting out, so I'm very happy with the equipment I have. I'd really like a scale on my grinder/mixer, that's about it. :)

I always enjoyed farming and helping out on the farm and the best part I liked was family get to gethers and all the homemade foods .I never expected to get paid when I was a kid but I shore did eat good and that was good enough for me.

I wish I could know what it was like to farm back then. I've seen pictures of my grandpa harvesting corn with a John Deere 3300 combine with the 2 row head. He was running that combine in his underwear, because it had no windows in it and it was hot as hell out! My dad would sit right behind the head and pull weeds out when they would farm down by the river bottoms. They were poor and worked HARD. My dad tells me stories of staying out late to finish plowing. One time he was out at 10:00 or so at night plowing with an open seat Allis Chalmers and a 4 bottom plow. He fell asleep at the wheel and went through at least 15 feet of trees and brush before he woke up. (Woods lined the field he was working on both sides.)He had to walk the 5 miles back to the house to go get grandpa to help drag him out. Grandpa wasn't happy lol - my dad was maybe 15 at the time. They ran no-cab tractors for most of the time they farmed - even to and from the grain elevator, since they couldn't afford a grain truck. The only tractor with a cab that my grandpa ever owned (bought it in the late 80s) was a 1972 John Deere 4230. The combine is long gone, but he still has that 4230 to this day, along with the gravity flow wagons they used. It was rough and they worked their rear ends off all year round. My grandpa was a shop teacher at the high school for 30 years AND a farmer at the same time! He also bulldozed in the summertime to make ends meet. Even through all that, he still managed to put food on the table and provide for the family - to me, that's badass.

I wish I had a camera, nearly 20+ years ago one harvest the next door neighbour L3 Gleaner burnt to ground over night. Gordon ask our family, our friends if we could help finish harvest for him. There was Gleaner N6? With 24ft front, MF 3342 SP with 18ft and MF 525 with 12ft harvesting together. What a sight to see, all these combines are now retired replace with bigger combines. Gleaner and MF 525 both replace with MF 8780XP, MF 3342 + burnt Gleaner replace with red top CaseIH 8010.

It would be great to go back in time with today’s digital cameras to film farm machines at work. There is a Gleaner N6. It was the first combine to have a 12 row corn head.

@bigtractorpower 4 жыл бұрын
I would define the golden Age of Farming from 1955 to about 1985. The late 60’s to the mid 70’s saw a drastic change in scale of the machinery in size and horse power. After 1985 many brands had merged and the big raw iron machines gave way to high tech.

What is the maximum transportation width in the US? Or does it vary per state?
@bigtractorpower
@bigtractorpower 6 жыл бұрын
I do not know that there is one. If it fits on the road where I live they go. Normally about 17ft is as wide as an implement can be to fit on the pavement. Some of the 60ft air seeders used to plant wheat and soybeans here in Kentucky where I film are 19ft to 21ft folded and they take up the entire road and require a truck escort during transport. Farmers are not required to have an escort but they do it for safety of traffic, the operator and the machine.
