That tractor is insanely nice.. I was thinking when seeing that one overhead drone shot and thinking how that land was plowed with horses at one time, and then tractors like an old Massey Ferguson, Farmall or Moline planting only several rows at a time. Then a along came beasts like the Big Buds and now this Case IH 715 spreading out 50ft or more... and dragging it through the dirt planting like its nothing. It's amazing how far things have come. We still have our 1958' TO35 Massey Ferguson my Dad bought new for our farm/ ranch, I remember what a beast it was considered back in the day and with all the attachments we could put on it and how much acreage we could take care of with it...hahahaha... Just neat to see how far things have come in what seems like such a short time.
Technology is indeed awesome. I started farming with a hand cranked B John Deere which had a tricycle front end. When I stopped farming in the early 70s, the 4020 John Deere was the king in my area. I worked for a neighbor for a little while in the 90s and was driving a Steiger Panther. Good work Welkers.
Oh yes, back in the day, and many an hour, I sat a WD45, pulling 3-16's, packer and 48 inch drill. And how many feet did you say that drill seeds? Ha, Ha, Ha. Yup, Dylan had it right, Times They are a Changin. Absolutely beautiful seeing that outfit in the field.
