      I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That is really cool Brock! Back when I was in HS in the late 80's, we went to the National FFA convention in Kansas City. One of our stops was the John Deere Tractor Works in Waterloo. It was pretty new then and had cutting edge technology for the time. If memory serves, they could assemble different size and model tractors on the same line at the same time. The parts for each tractor would meet the tractor at the different stops on the assembly line. Was pretty cool! I thought I had some pics around here somewhere... Thanks for sharing! 🤠

    Good morning, Brock. Incidentally, I knew who the third Gentleman was as soon as he came into frame. I told you that I was going to head straight over here. I have a friend that has collected several John Deere tractors over his lifetime and when I decided to hunt for one of my own a few years ago he was my go to guy for information. He's quite knowledgeable about them. I sent him the video and I just got a message that he is watching it right now. Thank you for another great video. God bless, and I'll check in tomorrow. 😊👍👍

  • @kevingebert4316
    @kevingebert4316 Před rokem +2

    I could watch this all day! Wish you had more. You or he should make an inventory video on each with the story to go with. Would make excellent provenance along with the knowledge that he alone probably only knows. All that will die with him some day. Could even have updated museum someday with video kiosks with him telling the story of its use and how he obtained each tractor or JD item.

    On the Waterloo Boy. Those are lubricating oil tanks on the fenders they have spigots to adjust the drip rate and pipes run down to drip oil on the final drive gears and not the gasoline starting tank which is the tank inside the left fender that you can see right after.

    I enjoyed seeing and hearing Jack (Junior) talk about the collection, but this was painful to watch. Jack Jr. was patient and polite, but Jack Sr. would have taken one look and sent Rockhill farm on down the road.
    I hate to have to watch some schlub with hands in pockets, sunglasses perched (for no reason) on his head, and Dad wandering in and out of the shot. He shouldn't be on screen. You ask a question and then- not listening to the answer- look to see if you're getting the shot. Have a bit of respect for your interviewee and at least pretend to listen.
    You displayed your ignorance at various stages. It's okay if you don't know, but other posters say Dad is knowledgeable. How 'bout a little research beforehand? Gee, I don't know, maybe a quick tour, a consultation, and THEN turn on the camera?
    I worked for the Purintons back in the 1980s. They deserve better.

    • @RockhillfarmYT
      @RockhillfarmYT  Před rokem +5

      We spent 2 hours talking to Jack about the tractors before turning the camera on.
      Even though I own a 1941 John Deere A, I know almost nothing about antique tractors. I think that’s why 200,000 people have subscribed to watch my videos, because I don’t pretend to be an expert on everything
      If I’m checking the camera instead of listening to the story, it’s because I already heard the same story an hour earlier and I want to make sure that the viewers can see and hear it so Jack doesn’t have to tell it a third time
      The Purintons were really happy With the video, and excited to get an audience of 50 thousand people to talk about their collection
      Of course, a negative comment on a social media post is the lowest possible form of human communication, so congratulations on being there
      I spent a full day making this video happen because I wanted people to see this collection, and I deserve better than some schlub rambling incoherently in the comments section

    • @CharlesAtwell-or7bm
      @CharlesAtwell-or7bm Před 5 měsíci

      He never claimed to be a professional. I think he did a good job showing us the collection and allowed plenty of time for discussion of the objects with closeups. Don’t be so negative. If you want to make a video that does a better job then do it.

    I don't think there are many farmers that would get into a tractor that does not have AC and Heat in the winter. I think it is hard to find a full sized tractor with out a beautiful air conditioned cab and sirius radio to listen to right wing hate radio THESE ARE THE GOLDEN DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
