Man I could watch that 4840 all day! Seeing that little boy riding along takes me back to riding with my grandpa back when I was little. We had just bought a new 4640 and we were sure proud of that thing. Thanks for posting!!
+George Saunders thank you for watching. I enjoy your channel. It was great to see the Panther at the show. I hope we see more Fords in 2019 at the show like your TW.
What did God do with man in the beginning but place him in garden and tell him to care and cultivate it... Just love the song "he's gone county, back to his roots"
the one tractor toward the end looked like it had twin 10 bottoms. I had trouble counting through all the dust. that's like 26 1/2 feet. helping my uncle 55 years ago, Oliver 88 diesel with 3 bottoms, thought I was king Tut and proud as a peacock! great video, brings back awesome memories
I counted 10 bottoms on each of the 2 plows that Earthquake was pulling. It made a lot of noise for how fast it was going. After a day of hearing that thing bellow, I'd be numb. Seems like with 750 HP, it could have pulled faster.
+mcpheonixx the 8550 was a stand out. It's too bad it and a twin WD were the only AC tractors in the tillage demonstration this year. It would be great to see a 190XT, D21 or 220 in 2019.
I grew up on a 190XT Series III. It is retired now because everything on the entire tractor is worn out. When the hydraulic pump locked up, they retired it and it’s final resting place is down behind the pond. I’d love to purchase it from my uncle and restore it and make it shine once again.
The tractor trailer parking lot must have been huge to haul so much iron the the show. I watched yours an a few other utubers videos. Seams to be no end to the amount of great new an old machines there
We had a 1066 out pull a 4840 jd and a 2590 case in the field with the same disc chisel. Put over 2000 hours on it that way with no major repairs ever done on it. All because of the turning of a screw. The 2590 case was dyno tested at 222 hp. The 1066 looked so small compared to both those tractors sitting beside them. But as the saying goes .....size doesn't always matter. Ran that 1066 field cultivating all night once with a straight pipe. Ears rang for a week. Sounded great but not an intelligent choice for a cabless tractor that is actually used(wasn't my idea to put it on). Straight pipe came off.
I think my favorite things is that boy sitting with I guess is his dad. I will always remember riding on Grandpa Davis' 1947 John Deere B. And yes, it had the roll-o-matic front end. I'm all about Tractors.
My dad had 3 b's. Only one had the electric start. He was plowing one day I was sitting on the fender. Hit a massive rock and that tractor didn't even hardly grunt .....the front wheels just started to climb almost seemed like slow motion. Put, put, put it just kept going till dad reached up and pulled the clutch back. Backed it out and raised the plow and the front tip of the front plow was currled over about 6 inches. Neighbor came down with his backhoe and dug the rock up . it was about 15 feet across and about 12 feet wide and 10 feet thick. Boy what a ride. Hard to kill those put, put tractors.
I have a early 70s model 80 " ford" (seen the same one painted as a mini mo) 8 hp. I made a front end loader on it .bucket raises level at 6 feet. Quick detatch bucket and forks. I have lifted over 1100 pounds with it . built a motocross track with it ( including using the bucket to cut through tree roots). Dug holes. Moved junk cars. Used it as an engine hoist to put engines in cars. Pulled fence posts(including ones cemented in).made forks for it and use it as a forklift ( often) had a 48 inch snow blower that attached to the bucket. Has an 80 pound wheel weight on each rear wheel and 430 pounds of suitcase weights on the back. Lets see any garden tractor/lawn mower today do that . 8 that's eight ....only 8 horse power single cylinder cast iron kohler engine that starts using the generator. 36 inch mower deck that I could and did mow green corn stalks , 4-6 foot tall weeds and countless acres of lawn with it and hasn't phased it a bit. Had it in several old tractor shows in Ohio. No one passed by that didn't take a second look. Always left the bucket up a couple of feet full of concrete blocks so people could see it is fully functional and capable.
Anyone else catch that 66 series IH getting squirrelly behind that Case 1470? Somebody get that guy a couple more suitcase weights. And that 6030 is just plain badass with those tracks on it. And was that four wheel drive Moline a gas powered rig?
+ih1206 it is a 1566. That was in the top 10 but I decided to cut it favor of the 6030T. I will have a video on the 1566. It is one of my favorite IH tractors. The reason the 1566 is back and forth was he was catching the last portion of the last pass. He had a plowing dual on and was set up to plow in the furrow but the two rear drive wheels were in the plowed ground and the plowing dual up on the corn stalks. Plus he was weaving to follow the Field border. The MM is an LP gas model.
bigtractorpower ah that explains it. I had to watch it again to see that was the edge of the field. The 1566 was a darn good tractor. The old 466 engines are tough to beat.
My granny used to have this old Farmall 4 cylinder gas tractor, back in the 80s, remember watching my grandpa use it all the time I don't know if they still have it..
FWIW the Deere WA-14 was built by Wagner for Deere and rated 225 hp not 280 as shown in this video. The WA-17 was rated 280. Both had Cummings engines.
I love these muscle tractors back when tractors were a hunk of steel and were absolute beasts in the field with that all American horsepower under the hood
It turned the tractor backward to the needs of its statehood - it's not easy on the right side, and there are no reasons for it here. baltic-forklift.prom.ua/g9747904-traktora
Keeping the width of the front furrow even with an onland hitch seems kinda tricky. Never used one. I imagine it's kinda like painting trim in your house with a 4" brush. Just get it close. LOL. doug
It was not. Early in the year it looked like it would but in the end it did not work out. Had it been at the show the museum that owns it was not going to let it do field work.
