    I grew up making hay with 2 cylinder Deere’s, just listening to this vid brought back a lot of good memories. And if you’ve never gotten equipment stuck, I don’t think that you’re truly farming.

    Mowed alot of hay with a 1219 moco. Never care for it. It was on a small dairy I worked on and we ran it with a 4010 diesel or a 7040 Allis. I had a 489 New Holland that worked good which I ran with my 730. I mowed a lot of hay on a tank of fuel with that tractor. Good luck. I mowed my first field tonight. We haven't had a long enough stretch of good weather to cut dry hay.

    Love this! Good old tractors and equipment can still get the job done because they were built to last. I was born in 68 and enjoyed growing up listening to Johnny Poppers on my farm and everyone else's back then. Still have an old JD G and an A running on the farm today. Thanks for the video, god bless!

    I always mowed 3 rounds around the outside then went up the middle in a straight line, sometimes dividing the field 2 or 3 times. Took a little more time to mow, but saved time raking and baling.

    The first tractor I drove was one of my dad's 520s, I was 7 (1959). He sent my younger brother and me across the creek behind our house to some new ground he was clearing. We had to start the tractor, put it in low, jump off the back, and toss roots and sticks into a cabbage cart attached to the back. We used it because it had a hand clutch, we were too small to use the Farmall H with a foot clutch.

I remember back in 1988 & 1992 to 1994 was wet years on farming with my late dad also uncle his bother and was rush to plant crops and rush take off in Ontario Canada were I live ! One feild on home farm had hay grew up nice but muddy to take use 2 tractor to cut off and when did silo corn took 4 tractors to pull corn chopper plus Farm Hand wagon to get off feilds and even grain in combine plus pick corn to! Remember my dad also uncle what sloppy years and need retirement to rent land out on home farm ! They were both piss off!

    My dad used to bale wheat straw with an LPG 720. We had an ancient New Holland square baler that had a big Kohler or Wisconsin (can't remember which) engine on it rather than being PTO driven. My grandfather purchased the baler before he got the 720, his first tractor with live PTO.

    • @CharlesWT-TX
      @CharlesWT-TX ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the time they were made, the two-cylinder diesel engines were about 20% more fuel-efficient than their nearest competition.
      But John Deere had pushed the two-cylinder engine design about as far as it would go. The market wanted more horsepower and a faster throttle response. And that required more cylinders and faster engine speeds.
