Antique Tractor Raking Hay- Farmall H!! 1950 Mccormick Farmall H raking first cut hay with New Holland 256 hay rake. Subscribe to PA Dirt Worx: / @padirtworx9761
I grew up in Kingsley working my grandfather's farm every summer from the age of 9 to 18 when I joined the Air Force. Grandpa Zick was an iH man and had a variety from H to 1066 and many in between. My favorite was the H. Not big, powerful or heavy but it was fun, like a go-cart to drive. We used it mostly to move equipment and pull hay wagons as long as it was on the flatter fields and roads. Like yours, no fenders so not for the sleepy or foolish to operate.
Good to hear from you! When I was younger working on my neighbors farm an H tractor was the first tractor I drove by myself. It brings back memories driving mine around now.
Man yeah Mr Chris, been waiting to see the ole H out taking hay!! Looks great hooked to the new holland!! Now you just need an umbrella for it and you will be set!! Enjoyed the ride my friend!! Thank you for bringing us along!! 😁👍
I've been waiting to get it out in the field too!! Worked great raking hay, and I can't wait to use it for other chores. It is usually windy here so an umbrella would blow away lol Thanks Nelson 🙂
I like using my H to rake, but the 3020s are way more comfortable, even if I can’t turn as tight. Popped Lucas on it for the first time, and thought there was something wrong with the steering. I had to explain to him that HE was the power steering 😂
Looks like days of hay work are upon you. Is that the same field that you had to de-rock last year? If it is, you sure did a fine job. It's nice and level and producing some fine hay. Looks like your daughter is lending a helping hand. Great teamwork, Chris. Enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine week. Don 👍🏽🤠 7/18/22
No, this field has been in a hay for three years now. It is pretty flat, and did produce well. My daughter really enjoys running the tractor! Thanks Don 🙂
