Thanks for sharing the video. Really enjoy them. Still farm with a few IH tractors. I've had both red and green and ran a lot of other colors for other guys. My Grandpa started with Farmall tractors and that is where your brand loyalty comes from. I will never own anything but red or green.
It's fun to hear old farming stories, I grew up on a dairy farm in the 60's/70's. One thing I would suggest is to do more videoing of other equipment in the sheds you are in.
My brother pulled back in the 70's we had one of the 1st 3 tractors that hypermax engineering built Jerry LaGod use to be head engineer of International Harvester he's also the one that designed the "66" series engine
John Deere had horse drawn equipment in their catalog until 1951. The first farmer I worked for told me some of their history. Their first tractor was a 1928 GP John Deere. Then a WC. A 1947 DC Case. The horses left in 1950. That was the year they bought a Case baler, a John Deere 40 foot elevator and a Ferguson TO 20. Until then the horses were still used to pull the hay slings up into the barn as well as pull the hay loader
From the stories here, kinda in the mid 40s and into the 50s guys quit using their horses and by the late 50s, most started to get combines. That put the last nail in the coffin for using them.
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2 love your channel. Worked on dairy farm all thru high school in mid 80s. Been in a tractor since I was old enough to climb on one.
My grandfather farmed with horses he bought a 9 n ford my uncle told him now you can get rid or the horses he told my uncle no what if the tractor gets stuck
