- This annual event in Humboldt, South Dakota features live action of wheat reaping, a push header in oat field, horse drawn plowing, horse drawn machines, vintage manure spreader collection, belt driven ensilage machine as well as an old fashioned farmer horse pull.
Joe begins with an interview with the original organizers, Lowell Grave, Dean Johnson and Henry Hansen Heintzen. They explain the origins of the event.
In 1989 after Humbldt's 100th Anniversary celebration, they decided to continue the threshing bee.Their first official event was in 1990.
See video of Robert Oyer plowing with 3 Fjords, Dave Wilcox using his team of two mule (which he uses regularly for haying, plowing and hauling manure), Charlie Dush and his six beautiful Red Roan Belgians plowing hitched three and three to a two bottom gang plow.
Close up video of running antique ensilage machine while Dwayne Marsh discusses the use of corn as ensilage.
Here is a list of antique International Harvester/McCormick manure spreaders owned and displayed by
HD 100-H 3-wheeler (horse-drawn) . made from 1946-1950
HD 100 (tractor driven)
IH 200 large capacity (tractor driven)
Restored IH 200- HD (horse-drawn) with Stainless steel sides, plyboard floor and Stainless steel shields.
McCormick 200-F - Fluid manure spreader
HD Wooden sided spreader #4
A Rebuilt spreader by Irvin Miller with scraper to clean feeders off so they don't rust. Aluminum horse tongue with roller chain.
Great footage of threshing wheat with push threshers pushed by four horses, two on the left and two on the right behind the thresher. The footage of them making the corners is fascinating! Joe interviews the two teamster Dennis Kline and Paul Vandervliet.
Live footage of a horse drawn McCormick Daisy reaper and motorized bail fork loader.
The day concludes with an old fashioned farmer horse pull.
We need to farm our farmland like the Amish does .
The trouble with manure spreaders is you can never find a dealer that will stand behind their product.
That stinks
They are plowing with a norwergian horse breed, "fjording". I am not surprised that he managed to work with them after 2 months of training. This breed is known to be very calm, stable mentally, learn fast and easy to handle. I owned one of those once, he couldn't get enough cuddling.
Years ago the serious horse pullers had their teams trained so that when the chains were moved to hook to the weighted sled they started to pull no matter what, the two guys hooking the chains better not miss the hook. It all happened in a second and the horses meant business. kind of like a dragster taking off the starting line.
Even the ponies when they pulled they would be drawn down to where their bellies were less than a foot off the ground it was amassing to watch.
Great videos, I'm hooked
I never cared a thing about a saddle horse, but I think a draft horse is a beautiful thing indeed. A well broke team of draft animals, horse or mules, is a joy for me to watch. When you get to know someone who owns draft animals you almost always hear them say the animals seem born to pull and do it naturally. This has been a great pleasure for me to watch.
I have no experience of horses but the draft horses seem to have a friendship with their handlers like a dog has with his handler, beautiful indeed
Hello Roy, my name is Glen Gunter. I live up in Saskatchewan and when I saw Humboldt, I thought it was in Humboldt Saskatchewan.
My grandfathers name was Roy and so your name caught my eye. I don't know if you will ever see this, but I thought I would reach out on the off chance you would.
It would be interesting to me if we could connect and see if we are related in some way. I'm not sure how to communicate with someone confidentially as this is the first time I have ever commented on TH-cam.
Anyway, if you see this and are interested, leave a message and let me know.
Good day.
this was quite entertaining and cool.
I really want to see that Amish horse drawn fork lift pick up a bale.
Great video thanx,regards from Lincolnshire England. 👍🚜

We had a pair of horses on the farm when my dad was a kid. My uncle had told me of one horse in particular named Dave. My Uncle Fern told me he could hook up Dave to the plow and never had to direct Dave to do anything. He said Dave was such a great worker that he only had to mention what they were doing for the day and he knew exactly what to do and could plow a straight line with no help.He has allot of great stories of the farm in the early days. Dave was later replaced by a tractor in 1949 and retired.
I hope one day we can return to these events. The world is a different place today. To all the gentlemen in this video God bless you all and keep you safe.
That was a fantastic story about Dave. Amazing how some animals know what man is saying.
Guys didn't even know it's called a header wagon that goes alongside their push header
That was a real dip into olden times and a pleasure to see. Thank You.
You can available this machineries in India
very nice video. thank you Arthur Baker
This is a very familiar scene to me. I well recall stacking the stooks behind the binder. Then, at threshing
time, load the sheaves onto the hay rack for the trip to the threshing machine. My job was shovelling grain
on the truck beside the threshing machine. Hard work, but very pleasant memories!
My grandpa use to talk about headering and the grasshoppers . Had to keep the shirt collar button tight so they didn't get in under your shirt.
Hello there, please forgive my absolutely lack of understanding, but some one please! What is the reason to shred the whole Corn 🌽 plant?
Thanks 🙏

вот что значит не было коммунистов у власти- сохранили и лошадей и машиностроение и традиции . Мое уважение американским фермерам и всему американскому народу.
Хорошо, чувак.
Вот что значит не было ельцина с путином. В СССР были и лошади, и заводы и сх с деревнями полными жителей.
This is the way we should farm not use no chemicals on our land either when we raise crops. It would help our planet out greatly if we all would . It would make people healthier. Love your show maybe people will go back to the old ways .
Thos mules dave wicox had where good looking team
They have nice fields no weeds or gopher piles ,rocks.
That was very nice say could you use oxen or water buffalo instead of horses
Thats a good question
yes but the mainly used horses back in the day
All work that gives our working horses a job is good work.

Love from Poland!
I love the push header.
Puro bueno puro bueno saludos
Good job
amazing i dit it in Europe when i was a young boy
Why not take a full swath n wat u do after its cut how do u pick it up?
I imagine he was not taking g a full swathe because the machine would originally have been worked by more than four horses. Probably a team of six .... or even eight. He is also demonstrating this historic machine .... not working it commercially .... so he is not wanting, or needing, to work the horses too hard unnecessarily. There were various ways to pick up... but the most likely contemporary machine would be an elevator in front of, and loading into, a waggon. The reaper is fascinating to watch. I don't believe this type of machine was used in the UK ...probably too big for our smaller fields.
I'm guessing they brought in a combine with a pickup head. There's a chance they brought in a hay loader and picked it up loose to take it to the threshing machines, but that wouldn't be the common way to do it. Normally the material run through a threshing machine is shocked or bundled and tied with a string. I've never seen a front mounted reaper, so it was interesting. I wish they would have shown the next step.
Conserving standing wheat for the rest of the show. For other demonstrations.
love the channel
21:21 smart horse.
I recognize a lot of this equipment...my grandfather converted some models to tractor power. I never did see horses pushing a wheat combine.
James Ellsworth , if that's a wheat 🌾 combine where's the hopper for the grain 🌾? I've lived on a farm all of my life and I've never seen a machine like that.🚜👍
@@willfo8358 The video shows equipment from before the era of ''combination harvesters" (combines.) There is a cutter that we see using paddles to sweep grain and stems aside. Workers gathered them and bundled them, stacking the sheaves on a wagon to take to a threshing floor. The next step was to use a combination harvester to cut and thresh the grain, with the grain going into bags. A man sat on a bagging platform towards the rear, placing the bags at the grain spout, tying them with a 'Miller's Knot' and then tripping part of the platform to roll the bag to the ground for pickup by wagon. You can see how much labor a hopper and an auger saved.
You’d think, horse farmers would be the first to go no-till to save a lot of resources and time. Why wouldn’t they?
they didn't have the fertilizers they have now. then you had to plow to turn over the soil. other wise you would of not got much of a crop. also there were no zero dill speed drillers or corn planters at the time
4:45 GREAT TESTIMONIAL
As a Farmer, it would be interesting to know what happened that he lost his arm
I was wondering why the spreaders had been restored with such durable materials when they will hardly get used, seems more of a modification than a restoration, that is not to take anything away from the superb finish that has been achieved
6 horses to pull a plow?
I was checking it out and believe that it was a two bottom plow .
Excelente vídeo amigos
Donde puedo adquirir este tipo de máquinas?

Great good job. Heart very happy doing the horse work. Good good good.
Kind of interesting how horses are hooked to a sled that doesn't get progressively harder to pull like tractor pull sleds do.
