Allis Chalmers Show: Chopping Corn Silage With Vintage A-C Tractors 

You brought back great memories of the early eighties. When you fix things in the field. No computers are fancy parts. Turn on the silo unloader watch the cows come a runnin.

My family ran a NH/AC dealership. My dad was chopping with an AC 200. And a 2 row cutter. Something happened to the 200 so they needed a different tractor. A brand new AC 7045 cab and air came in a week prior. Top of the line for that time and that was the one he got to “try it out”. He started going and everything was fine, the tractor had the Powershift button in the floor which gains speed when you mashed it. He popped the powershift button and in about a hundred yards pieces of the cutter were flying. Those tractors had no give to them with that much hp and torque the cutter couldnt take it. Thats one of the few memories i have of my dad. Miss you.

The good old days chopping corn in low gear doors open so it's twice as loud. And so you get a little circulation with the doors open the good old memories LOL

getting it done slowly but surely…great to see equipment of this vintage ‘doing the business’ thanks for sharing

Glad to see the Younger Gen of Kids still earning to farm... Back when kids were out in the field plowing, harvesting, etc before 12!... I'm starting to see a trend again with that notion.

Thanks for the videos. I love the older D series tractors. It reminds me of my grandfather's D17.

Great Video. Nice to see the old AC Equipment doing work. Really nice to see the whole family helping out. Makes me miss our farm, we raised hogs for a while and grew corn, soybeans and wheat. Thanks Again

How delightful to see a real family farm, keeping this lovely old machinery going. (And the farm cat 4:30.)

All old Wisconsin products and none in business anymore! Thanks for sharing.

Nice video of some great looking A C tractors. I learned to drive our 1950 A C WD at the tender age of 7; could not have been possible without the hand clutch. In 1960 dad traded the WD for a used WD-45; loved that tractor with it's snappy governor and hp. All 3 of dad's brothers owned some form of Allis tractors too. Thanks for the orange-show of filling silo.

Thx for the video, all built in America's Dairyland the Badger state. Allis tractors in West Allis, Gehl in West Bend & Forage King in Ridgeland.

Great video I use to pull wagons with a d17 we chopped with a 190xt used a david brown 880 on the nh blower and pulled badger wagons chopped with a nh 717 mostly with a pickup head in haylage. This video brought back great memories ❤️

All is built some of the best tractors ever I had a D21 series 2 and a 7080 blk belly both good powerful tractors wish I still had them

That's the best power show on a farm, the big horse, xt190, running the chopper, the medium tractor ,185, on the blower and the small pony,d17, pulling the wagons with all she's got, feeding the whirlafeed blower!

Terrific video ! Grew up near Ridgeland, our rig was similar but a 180 and Gehl 600 pulling Forage King. D15 on blower wd45 pulling loads home. Fabulous seeing something like that here.

I’ve never seen a D17 with square fenders like that. Plus it has 3 point. Nice tractor! We had I believe a 1963 D17 Series IV on the farm.

Just found you and subscribed. Great video and camera positioning. My favorite when he was driving up the road along a grassy field and you were on the side. Just a beautiful shot with the orange tractor and the tree color in the background.

Thanks for sharing an awesome Allis Chalmers video.

I was born in New Ulm Minnesota not too far from there. I now live in New Jersey and come out every year for this event on vacation the best time of my life was growing up on my grandparents Farm in New Ulm

I used chop corn day and night. I would go to bed and close my eyes. And see the rows still going by.

Love the square fenders on the D17s

Really cool video! That old Gehl is in really good shape!

Great video seeing them actually work. Thx.

I would love to see some videos, with the D19 Allis Chalmers.

Ahhhhh, the Allis Chalmers tornado, what a thing of beauty! My uncle had an identical setup. 190xt 3 800 gehl, H&S wagons, but we chopped it finer and pulled wagons with the D17. That XT would walk, and bark a beautiful tune

Glad to see this I just got my 500 acers of corn out moisture was at 15% on the dot I was ruining the case 8240 none stop along with the 98 gleaner r72 my paw paw was ruining. Trying to beat hurricane delta!

A.C Rules good job boys👍👍👍👍👍🤣😁

Love the orange!!

Back in the 80's i had the same job as those boys but we pulled the wagons along side and never unhooked them. We ran a 3 row chopper and pulled with a 210 AC. The blower was a Gehl 99 hi throw if i recall. When running the pickup head we could use the long axle 7080.

Nice movie! Great to see them old Allis Chalmers tractors!

Nice video 👍

Great stuff. I hate seeing those tires run over those corn stalks though.

Nice equipment! Don't see much AC around my area, but AC is my favorite. There are a few Gleaners in my area though.

Grew up with JD G and A, AC WD45 gas tricycle, WD45 diesel wide front, 2 identical (1 serial number apart) D-17 diesels wide fronts, 190 diesel, 190XT, 200, 210.

Family affair.candy for the cows

Grew up with an AC- WD,WD45, AC, 170,185 eventually stepped up to an Case IH 1086 and White 4-135. Curious why you’re not filling the wagons up? The first load, to get the pipe shined up I can see but once they’re shined up...fill’em up. Stay safe during Harvest!

I love the older AC's... What's tube coming from the air cleaner to the exhaust stack?

not an ac fan but those 301 mtrs were great little power houses

My uncle and grandfather run a small farm (20+ head) and use AC plus a few longs and a international and a ford. Uncle has a 190 a D17 and a WD. Mostly a hobby farm. But my uncle sells beefers and hay. Price of beef is shit right now tho. Hay sells good if you sell it to the right areas.

We had a D17D 175D 5050D and a 6080D Trouble with the 6080 is that is had to work pretty hard with that 4 cylinder combine engine it to turn out the 83 HP claimed. Funny part about that 175 is that it had the same Perkins diesel in it as the MF 175. Nice to see an XT still in the field but it looked like it had about all it wanted with that GEHL chopper and wagon.

👍👍

👏👏🤙😎

I think he needs a few more horses on that chopper...

Why did they just take anther wagon out there and pick up the full one out there why faster that’s what we do

Where do you farm at?
