As someone born in 2003, the old stuff is so much cooler. You actually need skill to properly operate these machines, unlike the new ones in which there's a plethora of electronic nannies watching your every move and correcting them before they turn into mistakes.
Wow, it is always amazing to see Mr. Billy Garnett on camera and to hear how this big time farmer supports his community is amazing! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
It is a great event to high light agriculture. I have a video of this 4955 on grain cart duty posted at th-cam.com/video/vZFss2VfLaY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xGoWGg1rdWBNJOUY I hope to film the 8650 this year.
@@bigtractorpower l’ve watched the 4955 video you have posted! Looking forward for the 8650 video!! Keep up your amazing videos, thanks so much for sharing all of them over the years!!!
That was awesome! I always enjoy seeing the "Drive Your Tractor to School Day." Some of the kids probably don't get a lot of recognition any other day so this is a great positive way to participate. Thanks for bringing it to us. Seeing Billy there was awesome too!
Nice seeing the younger generation involved with ag. What impressed me the most was how polite the young folks were. Especially the fella with the Ford 9600 would respond with a “yes sir”. A very respectable character, his parents did a great job. It was nice to see compared to the contradicting of the “ gangsters” Great job 👏
I’m a FFA officer for my schools chapter and I’m the reporter and I wish we could do this. And my favorite tractor was the John Deere 8235R because we have this exact same model tractor at my family farm to plant and for grain cart.
I already made a comment about the fact that im a young farmer but i love watching these i just think of every people happy to drive their tractor and im sure their exited of harvest and seeding season
great video! I was born in the wrong area of the country...my high school's (HFL, Rochester, NY) idea of "drive your tractor to school day" was kids driving their lawnmowers.
Thank you jason for this video thank you to all the FFA STUDENTS AND THERE ADVISORS TEACHERS AND PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN AG OR FFA . I WISHED OUR SCHOOL DIST HAD FFA PROGRAM TO OFFER TO STUDENTS MAYBE IN THE FUTURE .THANK YOU JASON FOR THIS VIDEO
What a great event !! So wonderful to see schools supporting agriculture again!!! Loved seeing the ford 5000 in that sea of green!! We had one on our farm in the late 60’s-early 70’s! Our first diesel…great tractor!!💙
I was planning on bringing on of our case 620 quadtracs to tractor day last week. It was deader than a doornail. Ended up bringing or 380 magnum rowtrac. The CVT made deiving theough town really nice.
Great to see. Wish more school systems supported ffa like that. Good to see those young ladies making their daddies proud in several of those machines.
Good stuff Jason👊🇺🇸 brought back the memories of when I was in FFA and drove my 4320 Deere to school. Looks like they had pretty good weather atleast. 👍👍
Great video, This is America! 🇺🇸 I was born/raised, and currently reside a bit north of NYC, it’s been my lifetime dream to see these massive machines in real life. Our local John Deere doesn’t care anything remotely close to this.
Wish we did that at my high school. I'm a hick from the sticks in Upstate NY. My HS could have come-up with that many tractors on a "Drive your tractor to school" day. Most of us learned to drive through learning to drive a tractor. Betcha some of those classic tractors were fixed up by the student driving it.
Agriculture is the backbone of this country we need more of this in every town all over our country I love farming and agriculture and I love tractors and farm equipment I’ve been around it all my life it makes me feel so good to see this with the young generation coming up now and always give our Lord Jesus all the praise and glory and worship and thank a farmer 🚜
New tractors are cool and comfy and what not but I wanna see them in 40 years like that 8650. You can't beat the old tractors that truly have stood the test of time!!
Did anyone else think about the protests going on around the world concerning farming. The last time I checked, the Eu townsquares were filled with angry displays of farmin'. I love the fact that I see females up in those machines. It makes me have hope that a sense of reason still has a chance. Stay blessed and Safe.
The MT685D was a good one to see. I film at the farm that owns the Challenger. Here is their wheat harvest from 2023 th-cam.com/video/hiVG2YZ1VQY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Isz8FtEotDWnHr8J
@@bigtractorpower It is a tough one! before Fords my grandpa had a Massey and now my dad run John Deere because the prices and dealers are better than New Holland where I live but New Holland are good tractors too
I'm Canadian and we have these too depending on the school. My school is the only one in the entire county that does it and last year there was only 4 of us (me in my jd 2120, a 4230 jd, a 4440 collectors/farmers jd and a valtra) there were others who were going to but they backed out after 1 couldn't start his tractor and the other one just didn't, another person i knew was also going to bring a tractor in because his family is a large farm but only didnt bring any in as he wanted the new big stuff. Don't know how many people are trying this year however I know my brother wants to drive tractor now so he will be taking over for me when I graduate. As it looks like last year I'm the only grade 12 that not only owns a tractor but will also drive it to school
The Kinze repower was cool, the Farmall H and I think B, the Ford 5000 (Dad had a 1966 4000), and the Challenger as I don't see many of those. Great event and young people!
I'd love it if our school could do that, but it's not fully legal xD Great tractors and lots of motivated farmers, which is very much needed here as well if we want to continue.
Almost all of these tractors are right out of the field. All of these tractors were driven that morning directly from the farm around the country to the parade. The modern ones add a bit of speed from further distances.
I would just come hauling in with a 1949 Ford 8n that looks like it sat in a field for 7 years, but roaring like no other n-series.(It turns extra rpms and runs great)
HMMM, well, see all the little girls operating this equipment...i guess theres still a few good dads out there, trusting their daughters with their prize tractors.
FFA is a big part of the community in Todd County. The Chamber of Commerce had a breakfast with over 200 people at it earlier in the week to support the FFA.
Our county in Northern Utah has 2 high schools and both have FFA programs. We have a lot of ag in the county Farmhand Mike did a video here 2 years ago where he learned to irrigate with a siphon tube. The one school had 3 tractors on drive your tractor to school day and I don't know how many the other had.
Hello everyone good vidéo big tractor power I have a childhood friend who left for the United States. He created his farm in Kentucky. Today he has been there for 16 years and his son is at this school and this friend is participating in the FFA. every two or three years I won't be able to tell you that this tractor has it because it has really changed
Goose bumps! How many 16, 17 and 18 year olds from LA or NYC could put down their video games to do this? Not to mention the dads allowing their sons and daughters to take out very expensive pieces of equipment.
@@bigtractorpower Yes Sir: I was blessed to grow up on a farm. Nine years old during Christmas Vacation sitting on a tractor 8 hours a day disking cotton ground. My dad would come by the fields my older brother and I were working around 3pm to fuel the tractors. The biggest treat of the day came in the form of a Baby Ruth candy bar. Cold, hungry and dirty but that candy bar tasted like Heaven.
The 4955 is a cool tractor. You can see the one in the parade in this video at work in the field th-cam.com/video/vZFss2VfLaY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SNg-jAY_i47nO6CB
I was questioned if tractor operators are required to hold a motor vehicle license. Appreciate the feedback. I have suggested tractor day be allowed at local high school ag program and folks believe students would need a motor vehicle license.
Very interesting. I did not know the 5000 was a rare model in the UK. What were the popular sellers for Ford in the UK? I always think of Ford as a top selling brand in the UK in its day.
Seeing all these young people in FFA in 2024 made me so proud that it gave me goose bumps to watch this
It is a great annual event.
Oh, be real, lol... I too was thinking that he should have zoomed in to those girls, driving those tractors lol
@@realemonfuldefinitely give the single guys pleasure
Great seeing these young people with their tractors these are the future of our farms in North America
It sure is 👍👍
Yes, they are the future of our farms.
Love the mix of old and new, large and small, boys and girls! Nice parade!
It is a great annual event.

It is a great event. This community has had the tractor drive since 1976.
Every school had it, homecoming parade.....
Love the Kinze repower.
My favorite one.
Congratulations to the F F A
members and their cruise.
Yep Kinze does a great job with these. I had a chance to buy one 3 years ago and I missed it, regret it to this day.
Kids did a great job. Gotta be some proud parents out there. Best wishes on their futures.
They sure did.

Very cool. Glad you get a chance to take part in implement day.
Ford 9600 was my favorite. Our local school still does this but not as large as this. Thank you for sharing these!

Todd County really does a great job on supporting agriculture and the FFA. It would be great to see that enthusiasm across the U.S.
Awesome. As someone who farmed his entire life and is now disabled, this made me well up with happiness to watch. Thank you.
What a blessing to be able to drive a quad trac, always wanted to drive one!
That would be so cool to do. Got to see Billy Garnett as well. I like the 9RX 640.

Two very cool tractors at the event.
That 8650 repower was the coolest
it was the ford 9600, I grew up driving ford tractors
The 9600 was cool to see. When I was growing up a dairy farm near me was all Ford. Their big tractor was a 9000 with a cab. Though tractors.

When I was about this age ,we had a john Deere 720 ,nothing quite as large as some of this parade .
Great video. Surprised by there being so few vintage/project tractors.
Almost all of these tractors are right out of the field. All of these tractors were driven that morning directly from the farm around the country to the parade. The modern ones add a bit of speed from further distances.

I never thought, in my wildest dreams, that young people could handle equipment that size.
They handle bigger when plows, seeders and cultivators are attached.
What did you expect when half of these kids are born into AG families

In the UK that 5000 and 9600 are very rare our 9600 mostly qcab
Very interesting. I did not know the 5000 was a rare model in the UK. What were the popular sellers for Ford in the UK? I always think of Ford as a top selling brand in the UK in its day.
They sold well but lots were exported
4000 5000 7000s
I started from school with ford dealer in 1979
they do this in Oklahoma every spring
