    I grew up beside a farm that was so much like this; I was 13 when this film was made. We were involved in everyday life, welcomed onto the farm as long as we were careful and did as we were told. Tractor driving under a watchful eye until considered "competeent" then small jobs, bale cart, rolling and harrowing. There was also a dairy herd, so twice daily milking. A fantastic time and I would'nt change a thing. Thanks for sharing your films.

    Guessing that’s a Ford 5000. Looks brand new. Must’ve been a proud owner. No add blue sensors or any of that rubbish

      One very careful owner, it was very well looked after.

    Nice! 😃 2023 and i got one of those Claas Columbus combine, one of thos allis Chalmers B (from part 2) and my friend got a Fordson major!

    • @davesdigitalmovies
      @davesdigitalmovies  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The old Allis was a bit of a job to start if the engine was warm, but starting from cold... first or second pull. It's good to know you young folk are keeping these old machines running.

    We had a massey 780 special and David Brown990 implematic. It was always exciting when the time came for getting the combine out and ready for harvest. Extension sides going on the tipper trailer. The sun always seemed to shine in the summer holidays in the early 70s

    This is a brilliant look into the past, thats the way my dad did it back in 1975 only he had a Clayson M103 combine and a Nuffield universal four tractor, i was only 3 then and we still have the M103 and its still cutting. Actually we still grow grain and harvest it not much different from the 70's, the machinery is a bit more modern to be fair but the methods are still very similar.

      I was 10 and eleven then, milking cows never could lift milk buckets up to the cooler, so my grandad would do that, hard work but love and loved it, you just bought back so many memories 👍🍻

      There is also a short film called 'The Harvest' on my channel. You will see the 'the young me and family' (late 60's) driving the Fordson tractor. Good memories to have.

    Would we go back to them times of sweat blood and tears l wonder, for me maybe but half the time we tend to be looking through rosé tinted glasses, not a fan of large farming myself as the atmosphere on them operations are completely different than the smaller farms where there is time to take a break and have a cup of tea, also, on larger farms you don’t see any children around, that part is missing!

      Agreed. I've been 'lucky' enough to experience, and be shown the old ways of doing things as well. They had it hard way back back then as well.

      Still using 60's equipment in 1975... FILMED IN 1975

    • @kevinmothers904
      @kevinmothers904 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Wrong! The Allis Chalmers tractor was first registered in May 1953 so not all 60s. One hundred lines for not checking.

    • @davesdigitalmovies
      @davesdigitalmovies  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I never claimed any dates, just that it was filmed in 1975. That @john hicks bloke is making the 60's claim, but I doubt he reads any replies to his suburb knowledge.
