When I was in my early teens in the early 70s I lived on a dairy farm in Amsterdam NY . They had a 3010,4020 and a 5020. Boy that 5020 was big at the time . My stepfather milked the cows and I got to work some. Just found out 2 of the brothers and one son all passed away in the last 2 years. What a blow to me it was when I found out. But the memories of 3 or 4 years living on that farm will always remain with me . And watching this channel helps me remember them good years as a youngster.
Nice line up of tractors. Farming is a great occupation. It’s great you had an opportunity to work in agriculture. The New Generation John Deere tractor area was a golden age in farming. I just put out a video with the 3030, 4020, 5020 up to the 7520 at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mNLkx9xWxuk.html
We grow up dairy farm wellington ontario Canada parents came from Holland in 1950 milk 50 cows in 1970s and johndeere tractor s 2130 and 3020 4020 5020 and self prop hay cutting model 800
I am not a farmer, I am city boy. When I watch these video's I am amazed by the level of work that goes into farming. The amount of fuel to the amount pf fulids and work that needs to be done on every piece of machinery is can be overwhelming to the people who have not done it and who take the time to watch what needs to be done in order to grow a crop. Go farmers!!!! I need to go work for a summer with one it would give this Retired US Marine something to do.
I was young in 1970's and saw great images on National Geographic Magazines on the grain harvest crews in Dakota's, Kansas, Oklahoma etc, it put a picture in my head that was in big broard wide big sky country where crews would be hours away from nearest small town (Australia is just like this). I myself would really love to be in that environment but I feel due to population getting bigger and more efficient transport the world would be less remote.
Great video! We run 9630T, 9430, 8520,8430,7710. 1770 16 row,455 35foot drill and a 730 44 foot air seeder 1910 350 bushel cart. Wheat cotton and Milo. SW Oklahoma. Thank you
Had never seen western NY farming. Very nice! I worked in the engineering program for the original 9000 Series. Long retired, but it's great to see (and hear) the successors doing what they were built for.
In 2023 we are going to pull a 12 row Gladiator with our Case IH 400 HD and pull our 12 row Deere 1770 NT with our 4650 mfwd. 2 passes and corn and soybeans are in the ground
I bet that was a special day especially being the farm that you watched growing up. Happy you were able to experience it and sharing it with all of us !! 😀 👌🏻
Like it when you show WNY farming…maybe people from the Midwest will start to realize we actually do farm around these parts! Must be Paul Stein’s operation where you filmed. We run a JD 7820 and 1770 NT 12 row planter for corn and a JD 8300 with a 30’ 1990CCS for soybeans.
Many ,many dairy farms populated Upstate NY around Amsterdam ,Richfield Springs and surrounding areas. I left for Florida in 88 and never went back until 2009 and it was a blow to see many of those farms shut down and just falling apart. But in my mind I like to think of them as still operating as usual.
Freedom mornings. I hear you on the dairy farms. I grew up just a few miles from the field in this video. There were 7 dairy farms along this road 40 years ago. Today 6 of the farms are retired and the one remaining in operation is a grain farm. Dairy farming has greatly changed.
@@freedomrings1420 yes my father had a dairy until 2003 here in Lima NY. He said when he was a kid there 3 dairies just on our small back rd and several across the town; today there’s only one left.
من هم کشاورزم ولی در ایران .کشوری که توسط یک عده نادان و بیسواد بنام آخوند اشغال شده و آرزوی داشتن اینچنین تراکتوری رو دارم ولی این آخوندها باعث شدن همه زندگی ما داغون بشه و آرزوی این وسایل رو داشتن برامون محال باشه امیدوارم همیشه موفق باشید و بازم ویدئو بذارید
Happy and healthy New Year to ya Sir. Ive been watching for years. I always thought you were a kentucky boy like me with all your western ky vids. lol. Be well and keep the vids coming for 2023.
Love to know about where you film these WNY videos. I grew up in the Mendon area and also worked on in farms in Shortsville NY. I know quite a bit of WNY territory
The amount of wheat regrowth makes me wonder about how much ATTENTION was made towards good combine concave, cylinder and cleaning shoe settings were utilized to control grain loss. I am retired worked for a major farm machine company for 28 years plus grew up on a grain and cattle farm. Between my dad and I we both operated the combine, were VERY critical on how we set our machine for least amount of grain loss. Just my observations . Viewed 1-6-23 from Illinois.
I can promise you this farm pays attention to detail. I have not ever come across a field of wheat that does not have some volunteer wheat after harvest. This farm raises clover in the wheat as a post cover crop. The field are mulch ripped in the fall turning under the clover and incorporating any seed. The volunteer wheat may look thick but it’s simply a few seeds that give a stronger impression than what’s there. It would be a very thin stand if it grew to maturity. I see this in corn as well where air live in KY. The corn is harvested in August and late summer rains will make a bushel lost from the combine per acre look like a green carpet. Here is volunteer corn after the harvest ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KeHXdAHsC08.html I have not found a combine yet that has not lost 0.5 to 1 bu an acre in any crop.
@@bigtractorpower Yes I seen the link you provided re- the corn. I'll make a note here.....over my years I work the Farm Progress shows in Iwona, Indiana, Illinois and the Farm Science Review hosted by Ohio State University. My part was corn harvesting, operating and making sure the machine was set at peek performance. Yes I am not saying any combine is perfect whether it red or green they will not be 100% perfect ! After I retired a local farmer ask if I would help him in his operation harvesting and planting. He had a JD 9500 1-2 year old asked if I knew anything about combines, said just a little bit. Read the manual made the type setting I did for the farm shows, went to the field he check the machine performance..........said what did you do to reduce grain loss. I was not in the field where you videoed so I could not know or see what made up the green plants.
I have to ask,what town was this filmed in? I recognize the power towers. I’m from Albion. Great content. Always like seeing your videos as I was raised on a small farm in Carlton. And then worked on a dairy farm.
In the town of Riga. Those power lines dot the WNY landscape for sure starting in Niagara Falls. When your in the field by then you can hear them humming away.
I use a 135 Massey, with a six foot disc and a two row corn planter. I plant four acres for the deer. Back in the day when I worked for my Uncle he had a John Deere 4010, 4430, and a 8440. I miss those days. Thank you for making these videos. Keep up the head work to show me all of this great equipment.
Dont see how they can get anything done as rocky as that ground is, you can hear the rocks clanging against the disc blades constantly. Was wondering why not minimum till/no till?

WNY has allot of little springs that can make for some tough going in spots. Back when I was a kid the farm planted with a 2wd 4440 and 12 row 7000 planter. The 4449 might have gotten stuck where the 8295R posted through.
We farm potatoes in eastern Canada and our team consists of tillage equipment and planting equipment 2003 JD 8520 with 25ft 730 field cultivator 1st pass 2019 JD 8370R with 42ft 980 field cultivator 2nd pass 2013 JD 7230R with Harriston 6 row cup planter 2021 JD 7R 290 with Harriston 6 row cup planter JD 7810 with a Lockwood 6 row planter filler That’s our setup for planting 1000 acres of spuds 🥔
@@bigtractorpower the 8520 has been a great tractor 20 years and minimal repairs and break downs! Before field cultivation we plow down grain stubble and rye grass in the fall with two kevernland plows a 7 and a 6 bottom with the 8520 and 7R 290
The 8870 is a nice one. I believe it was new in 1995. I removed coming home one afternoon in the mid 1990’s and there were two brand new 8870s and an 8970 parked along the road waiting to start work in the field. What a sight it was to see three new 4wds. The farm still has this 8870 and the 8970. They take very good care of their machines.
