What was your favorite tractor? Let us know in the comments! 🚜🚜🚜🚜
3:50 the moline universal was the first tractor offered with electric starting and light
The bull only had one drive wheel
Love the way you combine technology and nature
Well done Young Man! You did a good job of the history and application. Yes I ran the Johnny Popper, vintage Cats, JI Case, first Big Buds, first Versitle, built the first dual engine all hydralic combine in 1949 with Lloyd Stearman etc Wm Hamel Jr and Senior.
Big Budd was my favorite as I worked on the cotton farms. I ran Big Budd and Versitles in the Great San Juaquine Valley, the largest farm valley in the World and also in the Imperial Valley in truley year round farming. Wm
Watched the video and enjoyed it. Clicked on the video due to the photoshopped thumbnail. The fact that is a photoshopped image is why I removed the like I gave the video before watching it right through. IF I was to watch another video on the channel with a photoshopped thumbnail I'd immediately click on dislike and add to the list of channels for youtube to not recommend.
The Moline Universal pulled horse drawn implements that the Farmer already had. That 150 HP Case Steam Traction Engine you featured was just recently built in modern times by the Brothers seen operating it.
My Neighbor built a 1/6 scale a 1/3 scale and a 1/2 Scale Replica of the 60 HP Case Steam traction engine.
I want to see some old diesel tractors
My fav was the John Deere D

Poor to false information.
The Case 150 as shown here is a reproduction – a steam tractor built in the last decade.
The oil in the crank case of the Rumeley Oil Pull had nothing to do with primary cooling of the engine – that was an evaborative water system, nor did it have anything to do with the use of oil as the primary fuel for this engine.
The Moline Universal was designed with the drive wheels in front to replicate how teams of horse would pull and implement. I was design like this since it would be the first tractor a farmer would buy to replace his horses. It could handle the same horse drawn implements a farmer would already own.
The earliest tracked tractors fell out of favor as tillage and transport speeds increased. Most of the them operated at around 2 mph, which was fine when compared to horses, but soon became too slow for 1920's farmers.
Cleatrac ,you did not mention that it is a ' high drive ' did you .
I do not "subscribe" to A I!
The hectic cuts make the video unwatchable.
Speaks of a threshing rig, shows a plough?
What's up with the car engine?
👍
You’re right, I don’t believe it. The Case 150 you show was built only recently. I doubt the fellow who reproduced it appreciates you pilfering that video and trying to pass it off as the real deal.
This narrator obvious has no clue what he is talking about. They were popping Johnnys not Johnny poppers. Called that across the United States by farmers.
such crappy video editing with all those stupid fast motion transitions are horrible to look at. This is a shit channel
maybe in your next video, you will add the Lynn Tractors, if you want to see then in action, check out the king of obsolete here on youtube
Sorry, I would love to watch your video but the "camera work" (or maybe the video splicing) was making me sea-sick….
Most people call them popin John or poping johnies and thats all 2 cylinder motors. 1st time watching and it pretty bad. 1 cylinders hit and miss.
Click Bait King!!!
Did not watch!!!
Could tell by your voice!!!
The big bud 747 has 1100 horse power not what he said
You totally missed the mark on the Rumley Oil Pull. It used oil in the COOLING system to attain higher engine temperatures, allowing more efficient use of the kerosene fuel.
Awesome machines 🔝✅🙋🏼♂️
Cheap video 👎
I am sick of these hacked together compilation videos that lack originality and original video, if legitimately sourced. This contains misleading statements and mispronounced words, ao much so i wonder if it was AI generated.
Holt merged with Best to form Caterpillar.
