In this video I try to give a detailed walk-around of a 1951 John Deere Model A. I tried to point out what each of the levers and parts of the tractor are, as well as how they are used. The Model A is an icon American tractor, so I hope many out there will this video both useful and informative.
I did this out of memory and without script, so please forgive any errors.

Last year, I used the 630 to feed with. However, I thought it would be fun to try the A as well. I think the A is one of my favorite two-cylinder models.
In this video I'm feeding beef cattle (Herefords and Angus) with the A and a custom-made feeder. The feeder used to be a round bale bagger. I converted it to work with the 3x4x8 large square bales. Bales are loaded with a 3020 PowerShift.

Here's something a little different than my typical posts... A 1944 Farmall M, made by International Harvester. The Farmall line was very different than Deere's two-cylinders of the time. Although I prefer Deere, I love classics, regardless of the color. The Farmall was a very important part of American agricultural history. Today, if you buy a new tractor, they're pretty much the same under the hood. Back in those days, that definitely wasn't the case. Each brand had their pluses and minuses.
It was a beautiful day and I couldn't think of anything better to do! Enjoy.

A little video footage of the John Deere Model A and Farmall Model M. It's interesting seeing them both together as they were both direct competitors for their time (at least with the late gas-only A). DJI Phantom 3 drone footage.
