I really enjoyed the various PTO action. The one that sticks out is the FarmAll running the elevator running cobs into the spreaders. That was crazy cool. Great video all the way around!
Something I never saw or even heard about
@@rodger7029 Me either. Really cool until that brake comes off lol
Back in the 50s& early 60s I was to young to run the picker but I got to haul in loads after school and on Saturday. Some of the best memories ever! Or when you could hear the sheller and cob truck pull in the drive before you got on the bus, we knew that after school there would be a great cob pile to play on if they didn't burn them yet. Sure wish I could turn the clock back 60 yrs. Sure were great carefree times!!! Thank you for the great videos and God bless 👍
How blessed we are to be taken back several Decades and watch Old Farm Equipment that is still working the fields and Harvesting. It is a real labor of Love to spend the Time and Money to keep these Machines in running order.
Awesome Jason. I can't be there but got to see it through you. Thank you!! GO BTP!!!
It's hard to imagine that in light of today's modern combines, not too many years ago these single row corn pickers were considered state of the art.
We still have our 3010 diesel that ran the 227 picker. I remembered Dad bragging he picked 13 loads one day! That was big time!
My Grandpa had a 2 row New Idea corn picker that we would mount on our Farmall 400. I loved getting the job to run it on those cool fall days, the shrouds let the engine heat blow back up on the seat platform.
I love to see corn pickers in action😁👍 classic machinery working in the field is always great to watch👍😉
Absolutely a great video. Watched it twice. I'm 45 years old and it brought back alot of memories of my childhood working on paps farms with his brothers. All are dead now and alot of equipment used in video they had and we used. Some I never saw used before like the tractor wheel driven auger.
We are here now sitting watching them work the track!
We unload are wagons of corn back in early sixties as it was a hand pump back and forth and the higher the wagon got the easier was the pumping. Great video it really sent me back to those old days of farming.
Its a great first day at the show!! We are enjoying it today!
That was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The men that created that equipment out of necessity and the industrialization of farming is really neat to see in action
Grew up in northern Illinois in the 1960s/70s and this video brought back tons of memories of corn harvest as a kid…Thanks for posting!
My favorite was the corn pickers. Growing up we picked corn to put into corn cribs to grind into feed (cob and all). The cows seemed to really enjoy it and the cob was a great filler to stretch our feed. It was a great satisfaction to see the crib full for the winter.
Thanks much for posting, not going to make it this year. For the youngsters, the way things were done in our area of the Midwest, picking on the ear was normally taken to the crib to store. Farmers feeding cattle would grind cob and all for cattle feed. For hogs, sometimes could either shell on the farm, or take it to the local feed mill and they would shell and grind it for hog feed, and mix whatever you wanted as you didn’t use the cob there. Back when picking was the thing, you could sell on the ear, or shelled, depending on where you took it. If you had corn left in the summer time to sell, there we local shellers that would come and clean out your cribs. I did see a picker/sheller running in the field. We had a New Idea mounted picker that you could either pick on the ear, or shell in the field. I’ve never seen a deal like the Farmall H powering the drive off the wheel like that. Learn something new everyday.
Brings back some memories. I didn't grow up on a farm, but a few times got to take part in various harvests. I remember being a 9 year old kid and being put in charge of running the elevator from the cart to the corn crib. I thought I was big stuff! Got to deal with jams and broken chains with no adult supervision close.
My father and uncles were born in Indiana between 1914 and 1934. They rememver hand picking field corn. I remember watching my grandfathers two row JD corn picker in the early 1960's.
Great video, many thanks. Greetings from North Wales in the U.K.
Great video buddy!!! Loved it. Always enjoy seeing classics at work! Pretty neat seeing them lawn tractors runnin PTO also!
I can remember in the 50s on Saturdays as a kid a bunch of us kids would go out and pick up corn that the corn pickers dropped, the farmer would give us half of what it brought of every thing we picked up sand burrs and all. Middle of the sand hills Nebraska.
Hey Jason, I made the trek up from TN and I must’ve been really close to you because I saw a drone flying over the corn pickers. That is probably the best show I’ve ever been to.
Awesome show...great video..reminds me of my grandpa.. sitting on the fender of his Farmall 706 cultivating corn... I'll see you in heaven grandpa Dean
early farm equipment came up with so many innovations that paved the way for modern agriculture. thanks for sharing another wonderful video!!!!!!!
Even the modern ones basically just pull the cobs off just against 2 plates just some use fluted rollers to mash or crimp the stalks so they break down quicker and some have mower blades to chop it.
Great video. I liked it all. Thank u
Our neighbors had one in the 80’s with a straight pipe! It would scream late into the night ! Childhood sound I will never forget!
Incredible to see how far agriculture technology has come over the last 50 years. As impressive as today's super sophisticated and high tech combines are, there's still something satisfying about seeing the old iron come out to play once more.
It is always exciting to get a chance to film and feature these classics.
Bigtractorpower always has awesome videos, taking me back to my childhood. Thanks a lot!
Loved the White Combine ,& The MMoline Uni .
Now this video was a real treat watching all the classic farm equipment working from picking the corn to getting rid of the debris after they're going to all thrashed
Brings back lot of childhood memories.
The ingenuity, simplicity, and versatility of old farm machines like this is truly amazing and so interesting. Great video, Jason.
They were built to last a life time.
All of it, since I grew up around all this equipment. Cheers :)
Loved watching the old tractors & pickers working, some of this equipment seemed very modern in my memory and some of it was not yet born back when I picked corn in the early 60's Always enjoy watching your videos...MANY THANKS 🍺🥨🍺
Thank you for watching. It’s great to be able to film these classics.
I’m in New Zealand and you put a great program together. I have green blood running through my veins.love all aspects of your channel
Sorry to miss you... I talked to you for awhile at the massey-harris tent 2 yrs ago . I ran the 205 massey-harris combine Thursday before it rained in beans... keep up the good work, you do a good job of letting america know about farming!
Sorry to miss you as well. I got some good bean footage Friday. Keep those Masseys going. 👍👍
Love them old mounted and pull pickers an tractors.
This was such a neat video to watch! Very interesting! Thanks so much!🙂
Hi Jason love watching the old kit still doing the job
I like seeing it all. It's amazing to see all this old stuff working. Have a great day be safe.
My favorite was the Super M with a 2MH picker, jut like we had
I loved seeing the John Deere 110s running the ptos. also the "tractor treadmill" pto was something I've never seen before.
I agree. Both really stand out as an on farm power source.
I’ll bet not a single OSHA inspector made the show, all the open (not guarded” belts, chains and shafts, would have closed the show! Great to watch, especially the tire driven conveyor, never seen such an invention before, very creative!
Interesting to see all the different styles of corn pickers. In our neighborhood, corn shelling day was the last big neighborhood social workday gathering where neighbors would share labor to man all the corn shelling stations when emptying each other's ear corn storage bins.
I remember those days like yesterday.thank you!
This show is such an awesome chance to see classics in action.
I was always a " town kid," but it was so cool to see all the different makes and models of the farm machinery. I live in the Quad Cities, and I'm sure many of those machines were manufactured here.
The farmall with the pto driven off the drive tire was so cool never seen anything like it ! Great video ! Keep up the great work !
Loved all of this. I like seeing the hard-working garden tractors with their PTO powering conveyors. The manure spreader throwing cobs at 12:40 made me laugh.
😁👍👍
This is amazing program about farm machinery. I love it this program so teach really whith professionals. Very good, I appreciate all this. 👍👍
Pretty neat! Is there also a plowing video of this ground?
That’s great.
Love watching all the equipment working, grew up with most of the old machines, still use as many as time allows. Were not trying to farm mega big like some, just enough to make a decent living. Can't do that paying millions of dollars for a few pieces of equipment.
This show is a great chance to see the classics at work like they would have been new.
This really makes me think how efficient the modern day combine is and why they're so dam expensive great video Jason!!!🤘
We were still picking corn in the fall, and then shelling it the following spring in the mid 70's in S.W. Mn.
WOW that Farmall 1206 was gorgeous.
I personally have a soft spot for those old garden tractors so I'm going to have to say they were my favorites.
I know it's not always needed, but the White 8600 doesn't look right with the rotary screen not turning.
Brought a lot of memories with i shovel from the crib into a David Bradley sheller run with belt off the farmall M when the spreader got full of corn cobs I got a break
Definitely a different time in farming but a big step up from hand picking and stationary hand crank shellers.
I enjoyed watching all the machines
International Harvester of course !!!!!!!
I love to watch the corn shelling that's my favorite part of the show.
It is cool to watch.
Sure enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!
man, what an operation back in the day lol
Thats about all a White combine can do, is just a few minutes each day before something breaks, lol. Gosh we had a White 8800 back in the day, we spent more time working on it than we did using it. The first yr or 2 it was okay, but after that, it was a nightmare. They were neat looking combines, though. I remember the day we bought it and they delivered it to our farm, I wasn't but probably 6 or 7 yrs old, but I thought it was the coolest thing, because it was bigger than are Oliver, but it didn't take too long before the newness wore off, lol. I wish I would have been able to be there, hopefully I'll make it there next yr. The new equipment is nice and all, and definitely much more comfortable now days, but there is just something special about seeing the old equipment still working, I'm not sure 50 yrs from now, if the new equipment of today, will last as long as the old equipment I grew up with.
Thanks . !!!! I was there.....!!!
My brothers and cousins used to follow the cornpicker on foot and pick up missed corn and throw it on a wagon. Cornpicker was on a Oliver 77. We took turns driving a John Deere A with the wagon picking up missed ears.
I love farmers and their equipments
Very nice video! Thanks!
The sound of those old Farmall M's and John Deere 2 Cylinder
Good video! I liked it all, the garden tractors driving pto is nice to see. I never saw the wheel driving a pto before this video, that seems simple and convenient to use.
This show turns up cool machines.
In 2013, my cousin and I went, and I took literally hundreds of pictures, with most of them being of harvesting corn.
If there were things that disappointed me, by NOT being at the show, they would have been:
NO John Deere Model 226 picker (There was a JD Model 25 on static display)
NO truck mounted Cook, John Deere Model 6, or Minneapolis Moline Model D, or E sheller working, although there was one parked under a shed near the main entrance to the show.
NO John Deere, either "A" frame, OR underslung wagon hoist.
I also had never seen, other than the ads for method of powering the "speed jack" powered by using the rear tire of the tractor to operate the tumbling rod powering the elevator.
And,
Your video did not make it over to where the grain dryers were working.
I was in hog heaven watching, and more importantly to me, listening to the the machines at work, as it brought back many, many memories, from the 1950's/60's, and the early 1970's and the evolution from picking ear corn, shellers mounted on the picker, into combining with 2 and 4 row heads..
Reminds me back in the late 1970s when my grandfather pick corn on the family farm.
I liked all of it! Very well done!👍😎
I really enjoyed all of it! Would be neat to be there. Maybe one of these years I will make it there
Sure enjoy the channel.
We would use our cobs as the first layer to bed down our cattle sheds. They would soak up a lot of urine over time, and also made it easier for the loader tractor to start digging into the manure when it came time to clean the cattle sheds.
My favorite was the Minneapolis Moline corn picker
It is a stand out.
Love videos like this! It’s so awesome watching the progression of farming equipment. Combines now days are amazing pieces of engineering like I’m sure these beautiful machines were during their time
That was really amazing I Loved seeing how they did it before the modern day combine was invented
Harvesting has changed allot over the years. It’s great to see these classics.
Gonna be a while in that field!!!
Great video! Used to attend he show in ape field.
Thank you for watching.
treadmill drive is brilliant
That really stood out to me. I had never seen that used before.
I went to jet engine school at Chanute Air Force Base in 1981. I know she knew was closed after I left but the fact is there wasn't a whole lot to do in the winter time even if you went to Champaign
The show attracts over 60,000 people to the base now.
I found it interesting that the old corn harvesters just pull the cobs off the stalks instead of cutting them.
Even the modern ones basically just pull the cobs off just against 2 plates just some use fluted rollers to mash or crimp the stalks so they break down quicker and some have mower blades to chop it.
at 1:50.............don't need combines to open fields when you got mounted pickers.
Years ago farmers who had mounted pickers opened fields for those with pull type pickers.
Yes indeed. But this is a show with 60,000 people out to see the field demonstrations. The corn pickers only run one direction in the field to keep from risking an accident with a spectator. The combine just squares up a section each day so the pickers can show off what they do.
@@bigtractorpower ..thanks for the reply
Modern farming has lost that community aspect from back then. As a kid growing up on the farm (50s&60s)I remember the threshing crew going from farm to farm. It was hot and dirty work but it was made less difficult because you shared the load with neighbours.
Super.
😁👍
The Lawn and Garden Tractors
I liked the M Farmall using tire to operate elevator.
my favorite machine is the one that can pull your arm of.....oh wait. no but really its really cool to see how things was done back in the day compared to the insane machines we have now
We used to have an additional piece of machinery to move and set up when we changed farms or even to the other end of the crib……..we had a wagon Jack because we didn’t have hydrologic dump wagons.
Any video of the inside of the shelling bin? how are the kernels removed from the cobs?
Awesome we did it with a 826 with a 2 row nose picker i called it
We always just ground ear corn. Never shelled
I think it's all cool thanks
Thank you for watching.
Plenty of mounted and self propelled pickers to open the fields. I'm guessing they want it done quick so they can concentrate the heritage equipment near the crowd. Do they have any tractor mounted corn shellers?
I hope they go back through and repeat it. Cause i'm seeing a lot of corn that did not get off the stocks
I film at this event each time they have it. I have never seen any corn left on the stalk. Some times you see the odd ear that fell off the wagon. This is a demonstration to show the classic machines. The corn is a movie set prop in essence for the machines to knock down. They are not worried about the quality of the crop or how well it’s harvested.
I will say I do wish some would slow down. This event only happens every two years and there is no race or need to bunch the machines up.
Still waiting fir the Wathen family farm day video
I have a I.H. 234 picker with a sheller unit on it.
Dad always used a allis chalmers corn picker he said them john deere corn pickers were corn shellers.. there always a trail of corn behind them,,,
It is interesting seeing these pickers. They do leave a bit of corn behind. Frankly bunch.
