17 years old, working on a dairy farm, ever since i was a kid ive been facinated with field work, the connection to even so much as starting a tractor brings a grin to my face every single time. Hoping to have my own farm someday.
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast. Took me back to when I was young working on farms. It’s my ultimate regret that I never had the finances to get into farming.
I started farming 100 acres when I was 9 on a 1957 520 Deere. 3-16 plow, 13' disk, 20' harrow, 4-38 planter, 4-38 front mount cultivator all Deere. At the end of the summer an IH 715 brought in the crop. I though life could not get any better. Great interview. We are about 50 miles straight north of the Whistler's
I was 80s 90s but my grandpa never really gave the reigns over to my dad so we farmed pretty old school. The chicken operation was modern, but the cattle and cropland was all same as it always was. I still credit my mechanical knowledge to our 68 Gleaner F. Everything was levers and gears. All out in the open to see. Fascinated me and I soaked it all up like a sponge. ☺️
This is just like I'm hearing the story of my life everything you talked about is so similar to The Times and ractors that I were on it's amazing thanks for the story good job
I had a '62 4010 with 4020 overhaul. Replaced 15X38's with 18.4X38's and 11.00X16's. Really helped it out,4th became a great gear for field work, true 5 mph. Then replaced the John Deere hood side spear with 2040 tape. Cut and reversed the 20 and 40 to make a 4020 with the 40 series look. Did everything with it!
This is a 1961 . You can tell by the brake pedals.,and by the cast dip stick on the engine. They came out the fall of 1960 but the first year were all called 1961.
Every farmer should plow a field at least one time to just know what it's like. I still plow alitte bit every year just to do it. It brings back memories with my dad
I’m 33 and it blows my mind how many guys I know, even 40 year olds that have never plowed an acre in their life. They wouldn’t even know how to start or finish a land.
@@kylefarmer7192Are you talking about guys who own farms who don’t know how to work them? Because I’m sure that exists or people in general? I mean it makes sense that someone whos never farmed doesn’t know how to farm.
I’m 36 and still have a love and connection to the field work. I’m a full time trucker but raise a small beef herd with my wife on a few acres here in eastern Canada. My grandfather used to be a dairy farmer in the 70s and in his retirement did a lot of field work for neighbours. Around home, when he was still able bodied we used Belgian horses to plow and plant enough grain to get through the winter. Whenever I get the chance I still help out a farmer friend I grew up with cut hay. Now, I still buy my hay, but farm with a 4600 ford and a 135 massey Ferguson. Bought a tow behind combine so I can start cutting a few acres of my own grain every year. I even take the 135 to the local plowing match. Very few of us keeping the old ways alive in this part of the world
I can 100% relate to all of this. I am 49, started out on my grandpa's 4020 diesel narrow front, then graduated up to my dad's 4430. I so miss my time running them
O yes memories of ridding the fenders, just the hours we put in ask kids ridding on the fender with dad! So many great topics in this video that we all can relate to! Another great video Ryan keep them coming!
Lots and Lots of memories came back with the conversation between the both of you. Memories Memories. Uncle Sam can’t them Away From You. Thanks So Much
So when is the Barn Talk podcast with you on it coming out? That'll be a good one. Likely won't be as beer fueled as the Illinois gang's "Brought to you by Reichman Bro's" podcast and maybe not ripping on AGCO/Gleaner as much, but I'm sure it'll be just as good. Lol
I listened to you on barn talk. You really need to work this content over into audio only like a podcast. It's a really good story time. You would have to narrate it a little more but it would make good audio only content.
Thanks to IHC and the 1206, 1256, turbo, Case came with 1170, Deere put out 4320, higher horsepower, to keep up with demand. Both company's put these out, without powershift, because it would never hold up!! Case went with planataries from pay loaders!!
No. The 4320 came out in 71. The 4520 came out in 69. It was offered with the 8 speed PS. The 4320 wasn't offered with the PS because it was an interim to fill a gap until the 4430. The 4620 was offered with the PS the same time as the 4320 and was higher HP than the 4320
As far as the 8R being collected it will cost so much to first buy one to restore and then they will be so expensive to restore cuz all the plastic parts will have to be bought new and are already high priced now the average retired guy wont wrap up a 125k in a collector tractor 40 or 50 yrs from now and all the plastic and electronics won't come from a salvage yard like tin work and cast iron parts do now.And a 8R or a Mx or late Magnum just dont have the character the old tractors have .Same with muscle cars versus the cookie cutter cars now where every brand looks alike
@RyanKelly-Wititan2 I believe he started with a 4430 that went to Roland Barr maybe? I believe they went to a 4755 and that possibly came over may way to Frank or Duane Keener
That conversation brought back a ton of memories. Thanks for the travel back in time.

You'll get there one day, keep at it.

Wow, I could have been standing there, and told the same things best video I’ve ever seen. Thanks!!!
I could sit down and talk for hours with this guy

Great interview. We are about 50 miles straight north of the Whistler's
That’s probably the best interview I’ve ever seen. Thanks. I remember those days
I like hearing you guys tell them old memories. I like them older days.

Gd evening Ryan gd video You nailed it especially the part about doing ur major thinking on tractor seat
I miss the days of the 806 with the fender radio

Love these stories. I’m 69 now and we don’t do half the stuff we used to. But I won’t trade an 8R for the 730 I started driving at 9

@@kylefarmer7192 we plow hay fields under every year with the old plows I love getting dad's 60 out and working it on a Sunday

@@HueyPPLong yeah obviously I’m talking about farmers not just the general public.

Those are two good little tractors.

Can you do an equipment tour ? I"d like to see all the tractors and equipment, along with hearing the memories.
O yes memories of ridding the fenders, just the hours we put in ask kids ridding on the fender with dad! So many great topics in this video that we all can relate to! Another great video Ryan keep them coming!

Dad always said in his life time planting went from a season to an event. A lot of great snippets to talk about in this one. Thanks for posting
keep em coming great video
I know I was 7 when I started tedding and raking hay with our 4000 syncro and disking with a 4450 powershift
I sure can relate to a lot in this conversation. Love my old tractors too.
I worked on a small registered dairy that still has two 4010s with 404 sleeves and pistons. No cows anymore though.
With the old iron, you had the right to repair and had to in order to stay on the right side of the banker!🇨🇦👍🏻✌🏻
i like your stories i grew up like that in south dokota
Nice to see the 4010.love it.thanks😊
Another great video! Thanks!
Still love these videos, Ryan. I think you have hit on a niche with these.
So when is the Barn Talk podcast with you on it coming out? That'll be a good one. Likely won't be as beer fueled as the Illinois gang's "Brought to you by Reichman Bro's" podcast and maybe not ripping on AGCO/Gleaner as much, but I'm sure it'll be just as good. Lol
great video thanks learned a lot
The old suff will never die guys!!!
That one would polish out very nice!!
I like the way he thinks about the past😮
Torq is a hell of a guy
My dad had a 70 jd and a m farmall , they were cool old tractors.😂
The “Iron Elk” was the name of Ernie Ropps pulling tractor
I listened to you on barn talk. You really need to work this content over into audio only like a podcast. It's a really good story time. You would have to narrate it a little more but it would make good audio only content.
Any chance you have them start the tractors and walk around them?

Me too
As far as the 8R being collected it will cost so much to first buy one to restore and then they will be so expensive to restore cuz all the plastic parts will have to be bought new and are already high priced now the average retired guy wont wrap up a 125k in a collector tractor 40 or 50 yrs from now and all the plastic and electronics won't come from a salvage yard like tin work and cast iron parts do now.And a 8R or a Mx or late Magnum just dont have the character the old tractors have .Same with muscle cars versus the cookie cutter cars now where every brand looks alike
In 40 - 50 years a $125k won't be that much. When guys started collecting 2 cylinders they were hundreds of dollars. A 4020 was really expensive.
46:05 ernie ropp had the Iron Elk
I remember it being a 4955 I think
@RyanKelly-Wititan2 I believe he started with a 4430 that went to Roland Barr maybe? I believe they went to a 4755 and that possibly came over may way to Frank or Duane Keener
Great conversation gentlemen. Thank you
My neighbor could plant a field 3100 ft long straight as an arrow.
What would happen if all chemicals were band
computers for them tractors will be available in 20 years
A 8r won't even start in 60 yrs. The computers will be so out of date.
Barely hear the voices in your head lol
Love your videos, brings back great memories, grew up on SMDTA narrow front
