That is one Classy Massey! {sorry, just had to say it} That is one beautiful tractor. It would have been perfect if his first name was Fred {Fred & Wilma the Flinstones} OK, I'm done. Thanks for bringing it back to life. Congrats!
frank our farmers in the bigger fields of the plains preferred row crop style for cultivation operations before chemicals were used so extensively, and the higher seating improved visibility in mature cornfields. The larger diameter tires gave more flotation and better traction in the field, and the multiple power systems such as pto, belt pulley, and sometimes hydraulic outlets created more usability to help justify the cost of implement, in many cases they were replacing horses. Technology was somewhat slower to adapt prior to ww2, so perhaps that's why they seem so primitive, the present day tractors are much nicer and more efficient to use, but they are still doing most of the same chores as then. Hope that helped explain why ours were different than Europe .
@@denisrhodes54 it's practical compromiting stability on slope were we have wineyard, if you rise the back equipment like plow should be ok, will be easy to turn on next row without including backward,
He did a great job and you could tell they were both proud, RIP Richard and Wilma.
Beautiful machine! That generation was the salt of the earth, I miss them…
Nicely restored old M-H. I didn't know that green was a color M-H ever used. Agriculture is the beginning of all cultures.
What a beautiful tractor and Wilma seems like such a pleasant lady.
Great story, excellent video and what a special tractor!
Massey Harris ❤❤

Dave Anderson that’s where the tall corn grows
can someone explain to a german why these type of tractors were so popular in the US?

Can be steered to 80° ? 🤔
certainly
the pivot point of the turn is the outside rear wheel
makes it possible to go down the same row you went up
