Your knowledge about these tractors is amazing! I really enjoyed that. Those old four wheel drive tractors take me back to the 70's in the Black Belt Region of Alabama when just about every available acre was plowed up and planted in Soybeans.
My father and uncle were considering a Steiger Canadian plant and visited the Steiger premises several times. Dad talked of the original barn plant and that the Steiger boys were building adapters for dual wheel kits and the father thought the boys were nuts messing with tractors.
I grew up in Grant County. I didn't literally mean these exact tractors just the same models. It's really flat and wide open up there. I don't live in Indiana anymore though. I thought I would grow up to be a farmer for a while but life took a different path.
28:00 You look me in the eye, and you tell me, if you move the front axle back closer to the articulation center, add a pair of smaller wheels to the front, and you tell me to my face it wouldn't look like a normal tractor.
The skid steer another innovation born with the help of steiger. They helped with the design of how they were propelled and they i vested money into it which created bobcat.
It is top on our list to film in action. I think the farm has duals to put on it. An open station lp 2655 with duals would be cool to see in the field.
You say in the video that the International tractor shown in the video was the first 4 wheel drive tractor for International, what about the 4100 series that came out about 1968?
The Jackson 4wd is interesting. What kind of trouble would a tractor company like that get for using the same or identical John Deere colours? Great collection. There's a farm out in my area that collects 4wd and Steiger tractors here in Southern Ontario, Canada.
The 4300 pre-dated the 4366 by a dozen years. The 4300 was made for IH by Hough starting in 1961 and had the IH D-817T engine which is also found in the TD-25. There were only 44 built and it was Nebraska test number 815.
That's a variety of tractors collected. The two things most amazing things to me is the relatively low horsepower rating of the early 4 wheel drive tractors compared to the modern tractors. Also I never realized how short lived a lot of these tractor manufactures were.
They are small in horse power today but remember when these classics were built a row crop tractor was 50-70 hp. 150-200 hp was a monster 50-60 years ago.
Nellson Stout sometimes leaving them as they are, with the scars and character they have earned is best. You wouldn’t want someone taking 40 or more years of your experience from you...
As cool as this collection is, for someone that actually works on a farm, I’d hate to work here. With as much money is spent on old tractors that have no purpose other than a collection you could afford some really nice, productive, comfortable equipment. However it is a very interesting collection of equipment and it’s nice to see all this history isn’t lost. I’m just happy I’m not the ride these old girls all year lol. We all know how rough they are.
It is a Case IH 2588. You can see it in action with their grain cart tractor a Puma 1000 at m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cky7qlgC_jU.html
Good question. I just posted the answers in a video yesterday covering the first Big Bud built and how it developed. The video is posted at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XBQVxi4mQ0s.html
We hope to see some of these tractors plowing like the Oliver 2655 LP. We have filmed many of these tractors at work in the field. Here is one of the Big Bud and Steiger working right by the farm m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Scv3zhlALlI.html
Anyone knows the name of the firs owner of the steiger pink panther and where he lived? A long time ago i hearded that the tractor worked in oklahoma and i have found an image of it at work with the pink painting on toytractortimes, but the image is no longer available.
how many brands (like alice chalmers, titan, ford ect) had tractors designed off of steigers, i want to learn about these tractors because I grew up on a farm and we had 2 st 325's, a cp1400, and a pta 325
That is definitely NOT the very first 4 wd International tractor produced. The 4300 was produced from 1961 until 1965. The 4100 was produced from 65-68, and the 4156 from 69-70, and the 4166 started in '72. The 4366 was first produced as a 1973 model.
V-8 engines offered allot of horse power at the time. From the late 1960’s into the early 1980’s Steiger, Oliver, White, International, Versatile, Big Bud, Massey Ferguson, Ford and John Deere all used V-8 engines in some models.
I made a comment about this very thing. I’d hate for my boss to spend all his money on equipment that was essentially a museum, knowing I’m planting his crop with a 30-40 year old tractor. It’s still very cool to see.
I’ve gotten to sit down with the owner and talk. That’s what I wouldn’t thought too, but as it turns out, there’s a lot less than you’d think. Most of these were rescues and came cheap. They were more or less parked and abandoned
@@bigtractorpower wow small world me and my parents probably farm maybe 20 miles from Statz northern edge. Ask your good friend if he knows about renk seed. They might know about it, because it is popular up here
