At the rate we’re heading we’re going to need all the old school tractors and implements we can find. With everything collapsing around us you will not be able to fix all this new electronically controlled farm equipment or obtains spare parts. At least you can jury rig old equipment to get it going and hopefully the small farms will come back into existence in the future when the reset occurs soon.
"Either sitting still or full throttle". That kind of describes Mr. Bork himself, doesn't it? At least the full throttle part. I swannee, that Super M is gorgeous and runs like a top. There's just nothing like working a brand new piece of equipment. It's brand new by virtue of the Squatch (x2) process. Sounds good and runs good. What a great tractor. Pretty country. Good drone shots.
I probably wouldn't watch plowing as a rule but most anything you do is a mandatory watch and especially when you got comrades on tow! 👍🏼 Thanks for making it fun!😊
Those awesome farm tractors seem to be happiest when they are pulling a load and earning their keep. Not just "eye candy"... Love to watch Old Farm Plow Days
Lovely too see those old pieces of equipment out doing what they do best! Some nice tractors and ploughs too! :-) Looks like you all had a great day! :-)
My dad kept a "M", "C", on the farm for many years. They were the "go to" machines that made the farm successful for many years. It was only after he bought a second farm that bigger tractors came into play. He kept a "M" after he quit farming to move snow. The day of the auction when everything sold I remember it well when 6 people were bidding on the "M". I was one. Did not get it. One person wanted it more than anyone else. Later in life I did buy one for restoration. I have pictures of my dad driving my "M" when he was 95 years old. Didn't drive it far. Made him feel good.
You guy's got it made i had to grow up without hydraulics we had trip plows and rocks the plow would come completely unhooked and would have to back up and rehitch them back on tractor. Learned to have a really light wire to hook rope to back of the seat.
Willard Boyle and George E. Smith at Bell Labs, inventors of the charge-coupled device (CCD), in the 1960s, should have been awarded a Nobel Prize. The Charge-coupled devices (CCD) are used in all digital cameras to convert light images to digital images. Also, Federico Faggin and Masatoshi Shima should have been given a Nobel Prize for the inventions of a technology and the single chip microprocessor. We now hear and see videos of fields being plowed from the ground and from the air. Now, who invented bungees, duck tape, bailing wire, and the pliers?
Can't say how much I enjoyed watching the antique tractors and equipment at work plowing together. My granddad farmed with horses so it was a lot slower, but my father bought him a" farmall A" when the horses finally passed away years ago.
Great video truly made my day! I never miss any of your content. With 25 years working at Caterpillar and raised on antique tractors… I look forward to tuning in. Thanks
Great video as always, but man! This drone footage and music do the job! I envy you having this group of maniac-friends and having fun together. Keep playing with this old iron, have fun Squatch!
The Super C was one of the most under rated tractors from the era, I have had instances with them when I hit full throttle and they would sit you down deep in the seat and do what ever you ask of it and give you change back.
My grandfather had a Super C wide front axle and draw bar. When it was brand new my father was driving it down the side of a road and rear ended. Broke the tractor into three pieces. Dad had pins in his left elbow the rest of his life. The tractor was rebuilt and used until the 80s when the whole farm went into the grass bank. I'm pretty sure my uncle sold it and the D4 for scrap even though both were in working condition.
Great to see some ploughing. Very little ploughing is done here these days - it all seems to be direct drilling. Not sure about the straightness of the furrows though. As my late father used to say to me - 'Did you line that up with a passing cloud?' 😀
An old h farmal and 2x16 plow is what i cut my eye teeth on Later graduated to a G JD and a 3x16 plow. We really cut a wide swath when they were plowing togethrr😂
I like your Farmall Super M.. It's just odd looking to me.... My grandfather had a narrow front Supper M that pulled a 3 dishpan plow from between the drive wheels with trail wheel connected to the steering wheel.....
Squatch, I'd say you are having way to much fun being automotive retired. Love it up bud for all of us guys that are still out there doing the 7AM to 5PM grind. By the way, started a new job, wrenching for a John Deere dealer. Don't worry tho still Cat and IH under this JD uniform.
Nice and relaxing vid, Squatch. Only thing I wish you would have done is shown and explain how the plow raises and lowers. Would have been interesting to seen a walk beside view when the rope was pulled to see how quickly the blades were lowered and then the sequence used to raise the blades at the end of the furrow. Thanks for the vid, pretty good compared to the drilling, burning, and tinkering vids of the past couple of weeks.
that looks like a fun time out plowing in a field that is not full of huge rocks Rick would not of made 20 feet on my farm with all of the rocks lol. The drone footage was really neat.
Something you rarely see these days. Nobody plows anymore. You usually see a chisel plow or maybe a disc, but nobody actually turns the ground over. In fact the field around our house didn’t get any tillage at all this year. They just sprayed the weeds and planted amid last years corn stubble…..
Great video! I always look forward to plow day! It would be a dream come true to see the RD6 pull a plow! Please please please just hook it for one furrow
That RD6 would yank the moldboards off some plows!!!!! I grew up in eastern Kentucky a long time ago, our horsepower was Merle and Ernie the Belgian horses. RIP great animals and friends
Glad y'all had a great time during plow day at Connor's. Great drone footage too. Love seeing all the vintage equipment and the comraderi of some good friends. Thanks for sharing. 🇺🇲🚜👍
I love to moldboard plow. As long as I'm not the one who has to fix the field after. Of course here we have nothing but clay and that makes it a lot harder. Gotta drop one bottom here from the type of ground you got there.
Sounds like a good way to get your field plowed... "Hey, guys, why don't you all come over and we'll, umm, create some RU-vid content! Yeah, that's it!"
What is so satisfying about watching that sod flip over? I love it! Guess maybe it's a guy thing to hear that old iron just make music. Looks like fun.
I think the sound of your SuperM plowing should be used on one of those fancy relaxation/sleep apps some people use. Sure sounds good. ‘Course, half the population would have no idea what they’re listening to.
