Its taken a while but I finally found the video clips, as many have asked I am now uploading more two cylinder tractor videos, this is the second video featuring a 1954 John Deere 50 with a 4 Row Cultivator. The introduction of 4 Row equipment in the early part of the century created much faster ways to produce and grow row crops. This John Deere tractor had a mid sized farm horsepower rating of 28-30, and weighed an amazing 5000lbs, what this tractor may have lacked in hp it made up for in lugging power. Nothing Runs Like A Deere.

In my father's day they cultivated corn 3 times with a two row behind a horse. He grew up left the farm and worked for Boeing when man flew to the moon. Never in history has a single generation seen so much change. Now in my golden years I'm trying to live closer to the land and not use chemicals. It's hard to go back to organic, my hat's off to you.

My grandfather had a 50 and she was just used for transplanting 4 rows at a time. The 60 and 520 were cultivating tractors and my grandfather seems to remember cultivating better than anything else. Still have our 60 but she's rusting away in the fencerow and I would like to restore it someday. Your 50 sounds good, keep her running.

Nice, looks like your brother was playing wipeout. 🙂

I'd run over 600 acres every year in Michigan with a 4 row on a John Deere A. That's a lot of neck work. I got took off the farm in late August 1967 by the draft. I'm a totally disabled vet. God bless you. Thanks for the pics. I hope you get to stay on the farm.

Case IH Thank you for your service sir .

Thanks for all of your comments unfortunately we do not have the fertilizer applicator. I really enjoy being able to use the 50 for cultivating it keeps our 630 open for cutting hay. Hopefully this spring I will have more videos of two cylinder farming. I have been urging my dad to look into buying some new Gen tractors and implements to cover the new ground we have been picking up, but I could never replace our two cylinders.

Here in SW Ontario almost all the cultivators are gone, but I do remember all those long hot days in the sun. I don't think our yields have suffered. On a dry year we prefer to keep the moisture. Everybody's soil is different. If we can't get a handle on some of these new to us weeds the cultivator may make a big comeback. Nice rig.You can see what your doing. Thanks. Doug

Popping John. Just another name for the two cylinder tractor. Nice job 👍

@farmershelper6203 9 лет назад

Lol I remember my dad sticking me in the sewing all day when I was 10 years old going the same thing but with a 656 . With that tractor we also had a high lift in a corn picker to mount on it

Excellent video of a lost art. Our part of the county grows crops on a contour so no straight rows. Plus point rows to clean up. For all the video work I am very empressed with you only getting into the corn for short time. I used to run a front mount on a 4020 back in high school mid 90s for a neighbor . If you watched the cultivators going thru the cotton it would put u in a trance haha. Thanks for keeping this type of farming alive!!!!!

Chevy4x4dawg The first pass of corn cultivation would put you in a trace to! Especially right after eating lunch. Full stomach, hot sun bearing down, and that small two leaf stage corn plant passing through the fenders as you were leaning over forward to see better. And if you did snooze, there were the tattletale plowed out rows of corn. And sooner or later Dad would see it! That first pass was tough.

I used a 4 row cultivator like that on my 620 JD. Very easy cultivator to put on /take off tractor. Well designed !

@seancarm 10 лет назад

My dad was 23 in 1954 and bought a 4 row planter and a JD 60 that year. He said the marker arm seemed so far out with a 4 row. He had used a 2 row planter with a team of horses to plant before that. IH H for tillage. He farmed 240 acres with that equipment and fed cattle. Said that 60 worked circles around that H. Still got the 60, still got Dad too!

@Indiana2door 6 лет назад

An H and a 60 are two different tractors. It's like comparing apples and oranges. There are thousands of H's earning there keep every day. I would take an H any day over a JD 2 cyl. I wont change my opinion until I grow another arm and hand.

@carmfarm5 6 лет назад

Your right they are two different tractors, the 60 was better.

@bigjim5723 7 лет назад

i really liked ur video of cultivating corn. i have never even seen a 4 row cultivator before in my life. my paps only the 2 row ones. i have a jd model 50, but no fender's like urs. boy i'dl like a set for mine some day.

@billwhitman1529 8 лет назад

I really like the way you're working this field. Good job! I like the condition of the cultivators too, shields in place.

@cementer7665 Год назад

What "shields"?

onelonleyfarmer wtf wes what are u doing here lol

@theredneckjohndeerefarmer8079 3 года назад

onelonleyfarmer what are you doing here

@TheFarmboy59 8 лет назад

This is field corn, and we do use chemical herbicide to an extant however we feel that the practice of cultivating (in wide rows) is beneficial

@craiggrant3511 5 лет назад

A little cultivate blight going on there. Lol

@richardh8355 5 лет назад

Have run a 50 with a 4 row cultivator...vintage

@genechronister7085 6 лет назад

Nice!

@reinieroosthuizen6169 9 лет назад

Hi do you have a video of a 4 row cultivator with fertilizer applicator . My Dad imported a John Deere 70 row crop tractor gasoline only with a 4 row cultivator when he farmed in Zambia ( Africa ) I still have it .

@robinhussain229 5 лет назад

Very good

More please

@farmerboybill 9 лет назад

Nice video. I have a 60 I used with a No. 40 cultivator. I don't think a little 50 would have done a good job in my heavier, hillier ground. I'm now 6r30 with an FM cultivator on a 4430, but I'd like to find a 1955 70 to put a 6row Big 60 on... The 60 now mostly pulls an auger wagon, hauling chicken feed. Keep farmin'

@jlsmith6310 6 лет назад

Where are you located at? That soil looks strange to me. At least the color does.

@jefffirefighter12106 8 лет назад

Go look at 2009 corn harvest to see how we harvest our corn.

@brustdiesel 8 лет назад

what is the row spacing?

@jbmbanter 9 лет назад

Bigger farmers would have just sprayed for weeds and call it done. I think this video is great. Cultivation like this is a thing of the past but I noticed that the two young farmers on the RU-vid channel "How Farms Work" used a cultivator this year.

@Indiana2door 6 лет назад

Your point is?
