Several years ago I visited an older gentleman in Georgetown Texas that in his younger years had a tractor repair shop. He had about 20 acres of vintage tractors from all shapes and sizes, some were stored inside but most were scattered about over the property, I spent a couple hours just looking at his vintage treasures.
Could never understand why early manufacturers put the engine close to the rear wheels - more weight on the drive wheels and less on the steering but after the thirties they went away from that.
thank you for showing us the history of these beautiful tractors. Thanks to you, we can see how and on what our ancestors worked.
Love the two minute long freeze frame

Each one of those tractors is a mechanical master piece!
Thank you for posting this!
Ingenious machines that are worth preserving. Greetings from Germany
Super cool tractors. I want one.
I like how low slung that Samson is.
The arrow on the front to show the position of the front wheel is pretty nifty too.
@@tjohnson9051 . It's needed! I've driven one here in NZ
I saw a Happy Farmer once but didn't notice that the frame is the muffler. The one I saw didn't have an air cleaner.
Would love to see all of these machines being started up!
Very neat tractors!
I am so amazed how far tractors 🚜 have come from steam kerosene, gas and diesel and computerized.
Yes, and, you can still work on and fix the old ones, unlike the new, computerized ones of today, these old machines are amazing to watch.
They went too far
I don't think they have come very far from computerized. All modern tractors still employ some computerization. Many employ a lot of computerization.
I like that Huber and Samson.
Ok I'll head to the field now
I've seen 3 single cylinder Samsons here in New Zealand,2 in the same shed. I've even driven one.
Nice editing

*IT'S DRIVIN' ME NUTS* !
As simple as they could me made , so any farmer or blacksmith could fix them
I was waiting for one of those guys to come tooling out on the elusive Hoyt-Clagwell. But no, too rare for even this collection.
You mean the Fordson model F?
Do you take the fun out of everything?
The engine in the Minneapolis 12-25 looks like a car engine.
And can you imagine the screaming from the various government agencies if you were to attempt to produce anything like this today.
3:21 Water system - someone's completely clueless about water circulation and air locks !

12:00 The front wheel's on the wrong way round.
