We used to pull a 7 bottom 16 inch moldboard plow behind our Farmall 1206. Exact same tractor in the beginning of this video. We farmed around 1,500 acres. I used to love going out to plow a big field. Believe it or not but I was only 10 years old. Parents now a days have no idea what a young person is capable of doing if you teach them well. I would plow from daylight to dark and the older boys would only check on me a few times a day and bring me food and drink. On the farm, I never got bored. There was always something to do. I sure miss those days. Memories that I wouldn't change for nothing in this world. :)

*I've been eager to attend the Half Century of Progress show. It's fantastic to witness all that vintage machinery in action. I couldn't agree more, adding more colors would enhance the experience even further!* 🚜🌈

I loved moldboard plowing as a kid, my favorite job on the farm night time was even better.

I can't imagine running an old Detroit all day, everyday. But I do love the sound of them!

Loved the sound of the two Cylinder John Deers I spent thirty years in the seat of a JD 60 miss those days.

Brings back memories of Grampa driving a John Deere 4010 and a 4 bottom plow and dad driving the Minneapolis-Moline Vista G 1000 pulling a 6 bottom plow. We changed while I was in school to disking with an Oliver 1900 with MFW and a Oliver 2155. I am surprised I can hear after driving that screaming Jimmy in the 1900. The only large tractor we still have since dad died is the Vista G 1000. I think all the implements were sold.

Now that's a symphony I could listen too, that 990 oliver sounded very stout. Thanks for sharing I'm in mountain's on nc and don't know of any tractor show's around me.

Really cool seeing that CAT D4 plowing. A few years back when I went through California I saw them using D6's working ground. No blades or even front hydraulic cylinders. Just bare tracked crawlers.

That Oliver 990 is a joke,that was Oliver's biggest mistake by using a 2-cycle Detroit in it.Unless you run them wide open,you can't get any power out of a Detroit.

Great video. I would love to attend this year with my 255 Massey Ferguson

I really enjoyed these classic tractors.

Excellent! Those tractors are music to my ears. Thank you!

Simply awesome! Love watching them roll that soil over!

It’s true that duel rear wheels give better floatation and traction in the fields but the real reason one tire&wheel is removed from the right side of the tractor is because of the plow they’re using tracks directly behind the tractor, so when plowing they have to remove the outside duel so’s the tractor can put that right tire down in the furrow and the plow will be over far enough to not leave a ridge of unplowed ground.

I love these videos grew up around these tractors when I was a kid and it's just so great to see him still working

Growing up plowing for my dad We had a Massey Ferguson 285 pulling 4.16's bottom plow. A MF 275 & a MF 265 pulling 3.16's plow. Today I have a 1990 Massey Ferguson 3070 pulls 4.16's.

Thank you for filming! Plan to be there Thursday

Brilliant footage as always. Thankyou.

Man this is fun to watch! Some awesome history there. Thanks

I’ve been wanting to go to the half century of progress show. It’s great seeing all the old iron out playing together. And I agree, more colors would make it even better.

I really hope there will still be a half century of progress show by the time I’m 16. I’m 12 years old and I have 4 tractors of my own I have a, case 990, ford 8n, international 806 (wheat land) international 1466 standard front axle (none row crop axle). So I hope there is a plowing demonstration so I can go to one in a few years.

It reminds me of when I was young, I would sit on the back of the plow and collect worms for fishing, just the sound of a tractor would make me run to see and hear one of my favorite sounds.

60 years ago, my uncles farmed in Nebraska. When visiting them, I remember sitting on/sometimes driving the tractors of the day. Farming back then was obviously a much longer, much slower, much harder process and how my uncles made money farming the soil remains a great mystery to me. Memories.........

I loved plowing , on everything from a AC. WD 45 , JD 70 , all the way up to a JD 8430 with MFWD . Night time was the best harvest corn until dark , then jump on a JD 4620 or 6030 , and take off plowing until 2:00 am. The tractor pulling across the field , the longer you ran the more glow as heat built up in the muffler. Soon. It would would be glowing red , and flames , and sparks spit out the top . The tractor was pulling a little hard , but that is when it sounded it's best.

That’s one way of getting ya field ploughed mighty fast lol.

Please, can someone lend that Ford 9600 some wheelweights? the poor thing was begging for traction xD

I loved the smell of freshly turned soil at sun up after all nite moon lite plowing , as a teenager years ago

Nice video B.T.P.,I saw the drone hovering out there too.

I love a parade ! Wow such a nice collection of classic tractors ploughing in Illinois. I too would like to see more brands represented in the machinery running. It looked like a day in November grey sky and cold however it wasn't. I'd like to watch more of your vegetables harvesting you showcased a few weeks back. I ❤ BTP 🚜👍

The Steiger had a different plow or had it configured differently. What was the adjustment that was made for that one compared to the rest? Hitch swing?

So cool to see all that old iron working, I think the 4000 and 5000 Deere series tractors ran the smoothest and quietest of them all. My dad had a 4020 and 5020 back in the day. The 4020 was a dam good tractor, it would always start, the 5020 not such a good starter. You have the best videos...///

@bigtractorpower

Thank you for watching. I agree the 4020 is a solid tractor. Having been in the field up close I would say the tractor that seemed to edge them all out for smooth power and speed was the Allis-Chalmers One-Ninety XT.

I liked the 1206 with front wheel assist. Thanks for another great video!!

You can't hear any of the tractors around that Oliver 990. LOL. That thing is a screamer. Does it have the Detroit Diesel engine in it? I know Oliver put that engine in some of their 50 series tractors that came after the 990. I could not handle listening to that screaming all day. LOL

Great video! Love seeing all the half century tractors still operating. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video ! I like watching all the different tractors . My favorite is Farmall but I like other brands as well . How long did take them to finish that field ?

Oh how embarrassing to be the guy holding up the line ,great footage and narrative!!

Good tractors

Another amazing production here as we have all come to expect. I suppose. If you happen to have farmland near rantoul Illinois you might just some free plowing done every so often. Of course all of the hard effort would be capped off with a copious amount of golf cart tracks all over the fresh earth.

imece usulu cok guzel calisma traktorlerde guzel MASALLAH

Ug, listen to the difference between the 1030 with the muffler and the one with the "fancy" straight pipe. Why do people subject themselves to that? I know the factory mufflers aren't the most inexpensive things in the world, but my oh my that deafening drone! To each their own but that drives me nuts. Also, some of these plows are set up just terrible! Different depths front to back, gauge wheels not set properly, etc. That first 1650, the poor guy has to bounce his tractor through the furrow behind that JD, the 1950 shown later the furrow actually disappears! Still though, it's always a treat to see older stuff working hard yet. Takes me back, and I appreciate the videos.

Would run cross country after school then hit the field and plowed until 8 or 9 enjoyed every minute of it.

How deep are they plowing? Some of these plows are too big for the power in front of them. Unless they plow shallow.

I stay on the Mississippi Gulf coast where is the closes tried to plow day to my location enjoy these videos my dad would really get a kick out of it his 81 year old formed in Arkansas all his life

Sure brings back a lot of great memories with my Dad and I in the fields back in the 60’s.

That JD 6030 has an awesome deep sound to it. Does it have a JD engine in it, or what engine does it have? It does not sound like a JD engine to me, but maybe it does have a JD engine and it's just that oversize exhaust stack that makes it sound that way.

1:30 this could be the future me! the reason i say this is because: 1. he has red equipment! 2. he is wearing a GoPro! I would like to see that guy's video!

Some amazing tractors that I've never seen before. Great video 👍

U have 2 put rear wheel weights on the tractor the better the rear tires bite the ground the better they pull most people use mold board ploughs very seldom U see people use disk ploughs any more more other diesel tractors would be great and singing 🎶 😊 great 2 😊😊 OMG 8 13 2O23

I know in Europe they have those plows that flip over or whatever so the driver just does a U turn at the end of the field and continues on. These plows only plow to the right, so the procedure to cover the field is a little different. Suffice to say, the right wheel of the tractor is always the one in the furrow, and the plow always plows the soil to the same side, so the dual wheel is always the one on the high side.

Seems a few of these are paired up with a little more than they can chew.
