unfortunately it started with an ad that I opposed, so I killed the show. Too bad youtuber's don't have a say in what ad's show up. I'll try again later, maybe different ads.Iowa PBS put out this documentary on the rise of mechanization in farming and the early history of
tractor wars between John Deere, Ford and International Harvester.
I find it fascinating that Ford was more interested in building tractors than he was cars.
John Deere knew they couldn't compete, what to do?
really quite an interesting show but it is an hour long.
The mechanization of agriculture is still going on worldwide.
Ford sending Fordsons to Ireland to build was also interesting and why they are all over the UK.
That's one blue color no longer made.
I wish there was a part two of this documentary.
would be interesting to see impact of three point hitch.
Ford built over half a million 8 & 9Ns thanks to that hitch
always thought that was a good looking tractor
definitely not a high crop model...
They were the Kubotas of a past generation
