Farmall Super M-TA Discing with an International 370 Disc 14'. Vintage farm tractor in operation on the farm. Antique farm tractor in operation on the farm. #farmallfanatic #antiquetractors #farmall
Ya dun good FF💥she’s poetry in motion, love hearing her snort a bit…that’s good therapy if you ask me. The shot of the SMTA setting in front of the shed hooked up to the disk would make a good calendar shot. Keep em comin hoss🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
Love the sound of the Super M, and that disk was doing a very good job. The last farming I did as a 15 or 16 year old kid, the boss put me on a brand new 806 Farmall diesel, pulling a 16 Foot John Deere disk. Loved that tractor.
In my teens, back in the 70s, I drove for a haymaking contractor. He had a Super M towing a New Holland baler powered by a Wisconsin. Loved that tractor/baler sound. Have never forgotten it. Very fond memories.
Spent many an hour on a M as a kid and that's one distinctive exhaust sound that no other tractor makes. You hit that hard spot, governor opens up and it just wills itself forward. That is a beautiful tractor.
That sure did work the ground great and sounded awesome, I could listen to that purr all day! It’s a smta for the senses! Thanks for growing the fleet with awesome tractors.
DAD did the almost exact same thing about 1960 when he bought a low hour SMTA, but was a KRAUSE disk. The slightly worn Good Year Super Sure Grips in 12-38 slipped pretty good. A set of M&W direct axle mounted duals fixed the slippage. Dad bought Me a Deere R diesel spring of 1964, and I disked some with that 14 ft Krause behind the R, think I ran in 2nd or 3rd. No duals on the R, it slipped a little. When I got done with 20 acres I STILL heard that thing hammering in my ears for 6-8 more hours. I ended up doing most of the plowing with the R and IH #8 3-14 plow, we tried plowing alfalfa sod with the 4-14 Deere plow the dealer sold Dad with the R. It was 2nd get at best, and had to downshift to 1st on clay spots or hills. The R didn't stick around long, still had 16 acres left to plow when Dad sold the R. We still had the SM-TA the rest of that spring to disk ahead of the planter, and cultivate corn, pull the combine to harvest oats. I read a comment a week or two ago on a forum like this that a dealer or Deere engineer told the poster's Dad that the live pto drivetrain on the R was only rated for 15 hp, which our Deere #25 combine probably used most if not all that much hp, so the SM-TA would have pulled the combine cutting oats. I'd never heard that comment on the weak R pto before but it's absolutely true, the township road commissioneer bought our R to drag scarified & tore-up roads and to also run a big 5 ft heavy-duty rototiller to chew up windrows of scarified and bladed chunks of dirt and road oil. The Oliver 770 diesel the road commissioner traded the R for never had any mechanical problems and it snorted pretty good sometimes pulling that tiller. The road commissioner tore out the LPTO FOUR TIMES in 4 years in the R and traded for the 770. Anyhow, I bet our old SM-TA could have run that rototiller. Dad traded the SM-TA for a 450 gas with Fast-Hitch, now IT was a real 4 bottom tractor. So similar to the SM-TA except for the increased Horse Power. Getting ready to plow old corn ground I'd shift up to 4th gear pulling the 12 ft 4 inch tandem disk. 3rd gear was plenty in plowed ground. And 3rd gear was our plowing gear. I'd really like to find our old SM-TA, it was traded for the 450 at WEST BAY IMPLEMENT IH Dealer in Galesburg, Ill. about 1965. Other than the 450 burned a HECK of a lot of gas doing heavy fieldwork it was a good reliable tractor, as was the SM-TA. The MTA only needed the TA rebuilt, it had a complete tune-up and dyno test one spring at the dealer, and about 1964 it got a complete repaint, looked brand new, ohhh it had Char-Lynn power steering installed too.
Looking good and by the sound on camera, it didn't sound like there were many rocks out there. That old girl was just pluggin along, ,lol. I enjoyed that video. Took a few passes to knock out some of those weeds, and maybe some of those complaining people, now understand. It takes all kinds to make the world go around.
And when you plow it, it rolls the weeds over, and you get a much cleaner field, and it would take 3 or 4 passes to get it all to laid down that super M-TA did awesome job on disking that field 👍👍👍
That's the way my grandfather used to disk the way you are doing it. I understand everything that you are talking about when you plow it it makes it cleaner than an unplowed field, and I used to do that at my grandparents' house when I went out to the field and I completely understand it 👍👍👍
The Super MTA did good like we knew it would. There's a huge difference between a regular M and Super M. Not only is there more power but different gearing. That Super MTA may have 450 sleeves and pistons, too. The disc did a great job on the goldenrod. I don't care how you disc. It's your land, do it the way you like. Some people just have to leave lewd comments. So far, I haven't had much of a problem, but my channel is still small.
Good day Ty Our neighbour had Ford 5000 told me to disc with it, it had that much down pressure chunks of ground would not go underneath, it took power too, I think it was 10 ft., maybe 12?? no bigger. It look like it was blue smoke coming out of exhaust??? Thanks
She's walking with the disc. Boy I need to get back to work on my smta. I have it over hauled and running but it needs a lot of small things to get it ready to repaint it. Enjoy your nice tractor.
Excellent video Gino :) also you tune up that SMTA tractor also did super job disking with no problem at all ! Also keep Red Power Boom 💥 going forever too and like how you explained stuff also very good helpfull hints too!
It handled the 14 footer just fine but what really impresses me is how smooth that tractor runs. When you throttled it down, not only can you hear how smooth it is but if you watch the raincap, it barely moved. You hear almost no bump at all. Nice machine, Red Power 💪
Something I learned from an old timer in 1981. Save your used motor oil and brush it on your implements before putting them aside. Use a paint brush and brush it wherever the soil shined up the metal..
We ran fluid in the tires of our Super M-TA along with a set of wheel weights. We pulled a rotary hoe section alongside the 3-16 plow and that leaves a strip of clod-free plowed field as you move along (sandy-loam soil, Chippewa County, Minnesota). We did fall plowing of corn fields in the '60s to lessen the plowing work in the springtime.
This video brings back memories of when I was 16 years old back in 72 when my neighbor would let me drive the 460 diesel with a John Deere disc in the rear ha ha
Farmall sounds so good pulling. I come up in Rock country. If disk is getting lose on axle, then it not tight enough to start with. A secret to tighting disk. Is get someone to hit end of axle with big Hammer while tighting.
Hey Gino the old MTA sounds good! Hey this is guy that you met the day you bought the super Sia kroll's Mills auction. I told you then we be cultivating urea in late June or early July depending on what the weather does the next few days we're going to be doing that. If you have a cabinet can be set for 36-inch Rows and you like to lend a hand and give me tractor some exercise let me know we will see what we can work out
She runs pretty sweet especially sucking through that miniature John Deere air :) and it's real nice you don't have to do a lot of roading with that 14 footer 😮
Have you tried about 10 ft of #9 wire tried onto the colter shank to help turn the taller green plants under? About 70 to 80 years ago, someone challenged him and he dug up the dirt with the long green turned under.
I don’t understand why people get so but hurt with the way you do things. Before we do any plowing, we brush hog the corn stalks, disc and then plow. Unless it’s bean stubble, we just disc then plow.
If it grows weeds it will grow crops. Maybe if you keep the disk long enough to wear them down you would put notched discs in the front. It might cut down on a pass. Still your ground breaks up great.
What is wrong with the 15.5 You tighten that disk the first time, it should be good for 2 or 3 years. Maybe more. Where are those soybeans. I take it you farm for a loss 😂
@@FarmallFanatic you have a very valid point. I just like crops put in a timely manner. I was a hobby for 25 plus years and always made money, except for 1988 it was DRY.
@@FarmallFanatic I was referring to the second hydraulic lever, the one that goes to the plumbed in valve under the gas tank. I think I might need one for my mta. Mine doesn't have one
@FarmallFanatic but you have the amplifier to help gear back. I had a 12ft AC DISK years ago for my 51 M. I didn't know if regular gearing would be ok.
