Plowing snow after a blizzard | Farmall 756. Antique farm tractor in operation on the farm. Very old farm tractor in operation on the farm. #farmallfanatic #farmall #antiquetractors
It does my heart good to see the older Farmall still earning their keep. I’m a Farmall worker and some of the shots reminded me of jobs I had on the line. Thank you and keep the Red Power going
Hell that was more fun than work . One of tractors is a 1568 with 4 inch straight pipes I pushed for vdot guy stop me and said when I hear this tractor running at night I always know I'm getting out in the mourning . Red Power
You need to setup all of your tractors with the hookups for the little Battery Tender Jr! I have all of mine setup and I've been getting at least 10-years out of my batteries. You could run a single extension cord out to your tractor shed, and have a couple of them on trickle charge all of the time. Also if one does go dead (or low) you can just plug in the connector instead of having to remove the battery box (really nice on the Farmall M). Keeps the batteries from freezing and REALLY helps with the battery life. I just changed one battery last night, and figured out that I bought it in 2007! Not too bad!
A suggestion on battery care, especially in the winter....disconnect if you know it will set ideal for a long period of time. Battery life and charge generally are extended
NE Ohio here. My 2012 Kubota has the original factory battery and cranks fine. My 1996 John Deere 870 needs help occasionally with a 3 yr old Interstate, if not run every few days. The Massey Ferguson MF20 has a used up cell phone backup battery. It needs help if not run as well. Glad to see you were able to dig out.
I saw a dude on youtube ceramic coat his snowblower and works really well for snow sticking on the blade. apparently you can get a kit cheap on Amazon. Just a thought.😁 love your ol' tractors.👍✌
Hi, Always plowed snow going backwards. Took your advise and tried rotating back blade and plowing going forward. Love it !!! Worked great with my little International 284 gas 2 wheel drive. Have rear wheel weights and chains. Worked great, Thanks
Love it! You are so blessed. What a great bunch of tractors. The only thing I don't envy you for is the lake effect snow. We have only had an inch or so all winter here in west central Ohio. Now we'll get hammered in February.
Love ur show brother, so some young guys mite scoff at a gaser but they start soooo well in the cold weather, plus they put up very similar power numbers when compared to the diesel engine (which are great too) in fact put a late model gas 706 (with the 291cu in, like ur 756)side by side in the field with a 706 diesel (both weighted and tired the same)and there is little difference in performance, cheers FF.
2 years seems awful short for the life of a battery. Maybe u leave them too long before charging them up like are some of those Tractors sitting idol for long periods.
I enjoy your channel, I have a IH 786 that I am learning to work with. I am up in northern Wisconsin, so snow is always fun. Never had a tractor before, so I have a lot to learn. Purchased a little over 100 acres most of it I’d thick forest but I also have about 30 acres for crops. Since I didn’t grow up on a farm I have a lot to learn, and this is just a retirement Project to keep me busy. I am retired Navy I figured you must have served with the rocks in the intros. Anyway thanks for showing what you show.
We use a snow bloweron the back of a tractor because its the only efficient want to move snow around out farm, would take 10x longer to push it, have to move it 4 - 5 times. Just blow it and its gone. We got 16 inches on monday. My dad started snowblowing at 7 am and didnt quit 7 pm. ofcourse stopped for a few breaks and lunch and to shovel infront of doors. Did pretty much every housee on the road, around 14ish driveways...backwards the whole time, not a big deal..just a lot of people struggle to drive forwards so they should never attempt to go backwards.
up to your ears in snow there mate happy new year not a good start when the battery is flat starts up well once battery sorted good old Farmall tractor *left a like👍Au👍full watch*
Hey there fanatic this is guy down here in Butler county Pennsylvania. One rule we always had around here when working on batteries was ground cable off first on last.
Wow you got a lot in north west. We got some in central but not enough pull out the snow blower this year yet. One year grand mentioned that the lane had so much thick ice you could skate on it and was trying to find a way to get out. Her grandparents said to hook up the disc harrow and go up and down the lane. It sqweeled like menacing pig but man did it work.
😂Wasn't there but wish I was. Do you have a set of chains for yours? Thankfully we don't own a John Deere, Grandma was always a Ferguson family so we use a Massey Ferguson 265 and Arps blower. The other kind of red power. 😀@@FarmallFanatic 🚜
My father liked the red ones and my grandfather liked the green ones. The old 2 cylinder Deeres sure sound cool. My father's Super M sounded good, too.
I have a Super Start (O'Reilly) battery that I installed in Oct 2017 on a 1973 Cub Cadet model 128. It is still strong and starting the 12hp Kohler engine at 25F. I may have used a charger twice over the past 4 years, it always holds the charge even when I am not using the little tractor for a couple of months.
With what you have to plow, that is definitely the way to go. I had a short drive and it was easier to back. But I was just pushing about 30'. There isn't a wrong way but the right way that works for your circumstances. Boom.
I normally use a battery tender if I don’t plan on using a vehicle for an extended period of time. Prolongs the life of most batteries extensively. A battery usually lasts me around five to six years and I’m not from one of those warm year round states. (Minnesota)
Snowing and blowing here all day Sunday and Monday. Plowed Monday morning and had to plow again Tuesday morning. Snow was deeper than the plow. Made one pass with blade up then second pass with the blade down.
It sure looked like you dropped the wrench you were using beside the tractor in the shed. Hope not, but if you did you know where to look. Thanks for the video. Good job on the plowing. Like the people in Florida say, you never have to shovel warm weather off your driveway!
I always unhook my batries when I park m for long on the tractors and trucks seem to last all winter without jumping hook m up and go truthfully they might need help if it's 2 cold 🥶🥶 and maybe a little fire prevention great vids bud
Was so looking forward to this video! Happy New Year, I read many of the comments, My Dad in Wisconsin can get three years out of his batteries, He disconnects them when they are going to be sitting and also does the trickle charging. He plows with the Massey, it sits lower and on the hills it provides a better platform to plow. I heard the Rooster, how them chickens doing?? Thinking of getting and beef this spring?
I could do everything you just did and be warm at the same time in my green tractor! I dont even have to get out and adjust the blade because its all hydraulically controlled. Good video though of the 756!
Well you know all these rockets signs just to know it all online at NASA can you make yourself subject for that when you do it on social media but it works for you and you get it done God bless you and family and have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend all respect
I have been catching up on your videos and lovd them. It would be great to see something on the 606 or 2606. Not much out there on them dont think they came in farmall but were international utility style tractors. Thanks
Got a question brother! I have a Farmall 450 and when I start her the power steering whines loud until I throttle it down..sometimes if its warm it quiets down..the pwr steering works but tho I know in front of the dash theres some hydraulic blocks...what should I look for? thanks!!!
I bought a 1000 amp battery from auto-zone july of 09 for my 706 and still have the battery in jan. of 22 because of my single pole gm alternator, and I have an 8 ft dozer blade mounted on the skidder winch on the rear with field chains
The neighbors give me weird looks when I'm on the white garden tractor plowing snow with a front blade in my long driveway. They expect me to get stuck lol....My secret is the Pam spray it rolls off the blade, if I didn't use it I wouldn't go anywhere and they'd have a good laugh lol
I've heard good things about using graphite paint so you don't have to constantly spray down your blower or your plow with oil. Coat of primer and coat of graphite paint and you're good to go for the whole season at least.
""Winter time miseries for a hundred, Alex" . "Answer :100% guaranteed" Question: "To have a dead battery the first time you have to plow snow"..... What happened Farm Fam was rural mail carriers who are contractors were once given vehicle allowances . That was until the genius minds at the USPS decided to give rural mail carriers their old worn out mail cars to avoid having to continue to pay vehicle allowances. Any hope of mail delivery you almost have your lane completely dead dry..... Question: How many gallons of gas does that thing use under full load?
I actually Beyblade in reverse because that way the snow don't get an into tractor and hang you up yes it does suck turn around but I'll tell you what it does make a big difference I use the back of the bakblade bones of big heavy heavy duty one 8 footer
I was thinking last fall that I was way past due for a new battery on my 855 John Deere It wasn't turning over very fast. Today with the below 0 temps, it became very evident. That battery BTW is every bit of 15 years old
I got a solution for your batteries not lasting. Install a disconnect on the battery. When not in use for a long time the battery will still be changed. I have one on my tractor and the same battery is still going strong.
@@FarmallFanatic if your close to Ohio cat on interstate 80. Meridian rd. They can help you truly best batteries. I’ve found. To last. Have in my truck backhoe 6v. For farmall cub
Only a clown trys plowing snow with a little angle blade. Plows for tractors that small only run 4 or 5 hundred on farm sales and 2 passes and its done and won't just drift in twice as deep as your ridges.
