This is by far, the best collection of old tractors I've ever seen. 😎😎

Forget classic cars, this is a beautiful collection. That 2200 on terra tyres is just stunning.

Enough old cars. You see them all over.

Your knowledge about these tractors is amazing! I really enjoyed that. Those old four wheel drive tractors take me back to the 70's in the Black Belt Region of Alabama when just about every available acre was plowed up and planted in Soybeans.

My father and uncle were considering a Steiger Canadian plant and visited the Steiger premises several times. Dad talked of the original barn plant and that the Steiger boys were building adapters for dual wheel kits and the father thought the boys were nuts messing with tractors.

Wow this is one of the most impressive tractor collections EVER.

the 1000 series from 1982, so damn ahead of it's time.

What great machinery. Thank you. I rarely stick around for the whole show.

Awesome collection!!!

Simply amazing stuff! Love those Steigers. And that Oliver!

The 525 Bud and the 325 Steiger are beautiful.

Really nice video!! These tractors are looking beautifull!!

Good tour. Great info!

Nice collection hope I can have one that big some day. I am 15 and just started one.

I really enjoyed looking at all those big tractor every single one of them.

I see many of the tractors of my childhood in Indiana in the 1970s and 1980s. It's good to see some are still working the fields.

I grew up in Grant County. I didn't literally mean these exact tractors just the same models. It's really flat and wide open up there. I don't live in Indiana anymore though. I thought I would grow up to be a farmer for a while but life took a different path.

Thanks for the walk through history.

Wonderful collection! Regards from the UK 🍀

Very cool stuff thanks for posting!

Cool stuff awesome videos. It's nice to see they're keeping history alive or not forgotten. Keep the great videos coming

Fantastic collection

Thank you for the video

28:00 You look me in the eye, and you tell me, if you move the front axle back closer to the articulation center, add a pair of smaller wheels to the front, and you tell me to my face it wouldn't look like a normal tractor.

What an awesome collection

Sure enjoyed that one thanks sod buster. Sam

that 2255 Oliver looks pretty cool with the patina just fix up the interior and use it

The first international they show actually has some massive ground clearance.

great video very interesting and informative thank you.

The 4300 pre-dated the 4366 by a dozen years. The 4300 was made for IH by Hough starting in 1961 and had the IH D-817T engine which is also found in the TD-25. There were only 44 built and it was Nebraska test number 815.

That's a variety of tractors collected. The two things most amazing things to me is the relatively low horsepower rating of the early 4 wheel drive tractors compared to the modern tractors. Also I never realized how short lived a lot of these tractor manufactures were.
