BIG TRACTORS from 1993

I spent a lot of time dragging a 32 foot disc on the 8760 John Deere. The tractor was the best I'd ever driven. Excellent tractor, that one. Never had a problem. I could have made that tractor my home. We also have a Case IH articulated tractor, which is rubbish in comparison to a Deere. It was noisy, skipped through a lot of quality, and required twice as much space to turn around as the Deere. You would go mad from the turbo whistle in the cab.

30 years ago, WOW. Front Wheel Assist was just starting to appear in the paddocks in my farming region at the time, the Wimmera (Horsham) Victoria, Australia, signaling the transition away from large 2 wheel drive tractors. When I say big, I mean for our farming district, including the 4280, 4480 Chamberlain, 766, 866, and many more with 120 horsepower but less than 150 horsepower. congrats and thanks for uploading.

Additionally impressive are the self-driving spreaders that we have in Europe. Our narrow roads can only accommodate a certain size of vehicle, so we had to use a lot of inventive engineering to get around this. Awesome self-driving spreaders have been produced by manufacturers like Vredo or Kotte, and fascinating combos like the Claas SaddleTrac have also been developed.

Amazing video! In the heart of North Dakota, a pair of Big Buds and I farm. We utilize a chisel plow that is identical to the one used by the Williams Brothers. On ours, though, we use spikes rather than sweeps like they do. I appreciate you chronicling the 747's return to service; I'm happy to see it!

The video has some great pictures. We appreciate you taking the time to record this. It's encouraging to see these machines still in constant use; they were clearly well built. If the owners hadn't recognized the importance of the workmanship and kept these in good condition, they wouldn't still be running. thks
