This brings back lots of great memories for me. We used to have a Case thrashing machine and belting that colossus up was no easy task. I still have the old grain binder. Not too sure of the manufacturer, but it is still here and almost fully intact.
This is completely unrelated to the video, but have you ever thought of getting a front loader for that *BEAUTIFUL* 560 of yours? IH and Westendorf made good loader for that tractor, and I think It’d be pretty useful on your farm/ranch.
The 2444 is my usual loader tractor. Good little machine that can squeeze into some tight places. There is a set of extra brackets, in case that tractor breaks down. The loader can then get mounted on the 560. Regards!!
I'm still at an impasse. The 60 series is what I'm familiar with. Haven't had a chance to drive any of the New Gen tractors to form an opinion on them. There is more power there, but I'm on the fence about the transmission. Also heard they were not trouble free & Deere had to iron out some bugs. Have heard some of the repairs were done in a secluded area so as not to attract too much attention from the press. Will be interesting to hear more about that. Regards!
My grandpa and my Dad had one of these self- propelled choppers with the two row corn head. It cut silage for their 300 steer feedlot and dairy operation then in 1969 Dad bought a farm 88 miles to the west of grandpas and the chopper cut silage for dairy cows on our farm until 1973.
I do run mine at 540. If your baler seems like it doesn't like it, just adjust the throttle down a bit. Like around 480 - 500 even & go from there. Make sure the pickup is straight, the knotters are good & the twine knives sharp & you should be ok. Good luck!
Please correct me if I'm wrong but here in the UK The company was known as Europa Gehl.. Local farmer had one of their choppers in late 60s early 70s..
I was 14 when I saw this tractor new. Our neighbors ran a dairy farm and demoed this machine and when I saw it, it looked like a Battlestar Galactica spaceship with that nose and remember thinking how amazing this new technology was, swearing there was no way farm machines could get any better or top this. Of course I was way wrong lol.
70 and 80 series AC plows where mounted. Not semi mounted. That was the 9000 series at the time so the clearance numbers they gave probably weren't right. Oliver had probably the best plow at the time.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 I never knew IH bought wear parts off of Oliver into the 1950s until recently. Didn’t even change the part numbers. Buddy of mine was showing me a IH plow parts book that had Oliver EP part numbers listed.
I wasn't around them much but Oliver made a tractor for Massey Ferguson "98" and Stiger made a tractor for AC I believe it was a 220 four wheel drive. Back when companies were great not greedy .
You know. I think I’m gonna make a Farmsim 22 mod of the pull type chip king. It’s gonna have a cutter bar, two-three row corn head, and a bale shredder! Either the gehl if I can find enough pics or a fox super 1000
I can help with some pics of the pull type Chop King if you don't have the brochures already. There's also brochures for the self propelled & I can get you pictures of mine if you would like to go that route too.
@@30acreshop_time No prob! I can do it one of two ways. Either post the pics in a video here on YT or I can post them on the tractor forum & then you could save them if you wish.
@@30acreshop_time Posting on the tractor forum should work best. You can get a nice clean image that way. I'll try & get that done tomorrow. Will post back here when it's up & where. Currently working on my planter, so it may be an extra day or so.
This is a grate sales video i plowed alot with a1456or1206narrow front 540 5-14's about all it wanted heavy ground.. & a 900b with #70 4x16 all it would pull bring that 560 and 3x16 all you get if your lucky.. love how they fluffed this stuff up for marketing...
Could someone please answer the following queries; What year was the JD 5010 tractor introduced to market ? What was the engine capacity ? What year was the JD 5020 tractor introduced to market ? What was its engine capacity and horsepower ? Would I be correct in assuming that the transaxle for both the 5010/5020 & 6030 tractors were identical and that the only real difference was the engine capacities and horsepower ? Thank you in advance.
The rule of thumb is half the cutting width was your depth. 14 inch bottoms were still an option back then , at least for Oliver. So a 6 -14s plow was cutting an 84" swath, and 5-16s was cutting 80", but that extra inch of depth on the 16s would make it the harder pulling plow.
A Horses, mules and bulls best friend...... The Tractor 😂... Saving animal rears from whips and from profanities 🤭🫣🤣 looks like a man could feed the neighborhood if he needed or be well stocked for the year. This should still be a course in high schools.. so sad the dont teach you to live of the land anymore. But i guess u can't control those people easily. 🫡💯🇺🇸🙏🏼♾️🤌🏼👨🌾🫶🏼 Thanks for tractor lesson. This kinda mechanical information is actually very useful. Especially to wise men like me. I could drive out of a junk yard if all i had was my tools.
Also thanks for the channel recommended last night. They are onto something different for sure. My power supply is extremely simple. yet it takes a vast understanding and comprehension of many different functions. With a deeper understanding of Æther dynamics. I'm not sure if anyone is ready for this device. Is there another way to chat with you ?
The junkyard reference reminds me of the recent tornado damage out of Iowa, on the tractor forum. In the foreground is a crumpled mess of a '69 Camaro. Behind it is a Farmall H with what looks like a busted rear axle. Betcha that tractor will still start vs the Camaro that is totaled. Self sufficiency has been frowned on for a long time. Just coming to a head right now.
@@EnergyTRE Glad you enjoyed Aaron's channel! There is some extremely mind blowing stuff on there. Sounds like you may be on to something interesting too. I'll see if Ken will let us exchange emails through him tomorrow night, if that works.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 I don’t think they do. Unless I haven’t found it yet. I just got a PC so I’m still looking for good American and Canadian mods (cochshutt and farmall) but a base game three point linkage should work with the plow if there isn’t a fast hitch
For the most part. Kind of doubt that 806 was pulling 6x16". I have a 540 with 14's & it's all the 806 can do to keep it moving through clay at times, plowing 5" - 6"
As the video itself states, there is less weight on the tractors' rear wheels with this type of plough. The fact that it's semi mounted also means that wieght transfer does not happen, as with a fully mounted plough, which is continually trying to rotate about the lower hitch points, whilst the top of the 'A' frame transfers weight to the tractors' rear wheels. Semi mounted ploughs only achieve a limited amount of wieght transfer to the tractor, as the lower links are attached below the centre line of the drive axle, but the force is more longtitudinal and rearward in nature, rather than the greater vertical distance of the top hitch point on a fully mounted plough, which generates forward force, through the top link attachment.
Keep your eyes peeled. There are still enough balers left over for parts. Still a reasonable amount of help & knowledge on the tractor forums too. Still some good videos to be found here on YT as well. You can also stop back here & ask. I'll do what I can to get you an answer. Good luck!
I remember we had a special grinder mounted on the bench in dads shop to sharpen the cutter knives for the self -propelled chopper that grandpa had. We used it until 1973. It was probably the only one in washtenaw county ,michigan and then in 1969 we moved it to branch county,michigan to chop silage for dairy cows.
I wondered when I decided to watch this vid if one of the self-propelled choppers would be shown. My grandpa had one that we used up until 1973. We also had the silage "blower"(silo filler) and 3 Gehl self unloading wagons that we used until the mid 80's. We also used some of those "false end gate" wagons for silage and ear corn when I was growing up. In 1974 Dad bought a Uni-System that took over for the Gehl chopper and the self -propelled Massey-Harris corn picker and "80 Special" Massey-Harris combine that grandpa and Dad got in the late 50's. I was born in 1958 and grew up with farming dairy and beef cattle.
Do you think you could find any videos on the gehl cb1040 front mounted forage harvester? It's main design was for the Ford and versatile bidirectional tractors
Haven't seen anything. Most likely that would have been in VHS & I've been through all the tapes donated from Gehl. Can't say for certain if they sent all of them though. Gehl also made a 6000 & 6600 that mounted on the front of larger 2WD tractors. No vid for that either.
Another awesome installment. First time I've ever seen a pull type behind a self propelled. 4 rows , that probably was the talk of the town! Was that pull type a Papec?
