DT Fan Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Fantastic! The only way that could have been better is if I was in it! All of my tractors being 'cosmetically challenged' might have been a drag on the quality though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillman Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Ryan , I always guessed you are north of the 401 around Guelph or Milton? that dirt looks pretty light esp when that 200 didn't struggle to pull a 3 bottom 8C plow. I thought the land was heavier up there and hard esp this year Anyhow that was a fantastic video and thanks for making and posting it! love it 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IH had some good products, but they were never known for plows, discs, or cultivators. Anyway I never heard about them. Oliver, Case and Melroe made some great plows. Crustbuster and Wilrich were some amazing discs and field cultivator. I have never seen a John Deere disc that you could get level. Only IH disc I was around was worn out.

IH and White were the only decent mainline manufacturer's plow worth having. try plowing down corn with most others of the IH era. finest plow of that era IMHO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 My late uncle who was pretty diehard green most of his adult life told me there was a LOT of green tractors pulling red plows. Seemed to think ih made a better plow from that and a few other comments he made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my buddy with the 200, he’s got 4 sets of wheel weights on her. Wasn’t sure how it was going to handle the 3 bottom but he discovered the one wheel / axle clamp on his 300 was cracked the morning of , so on went the weights and the 200 got er done !

Ruby Red Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Anyone thats bashing International Harvester build tilliage and planting equipment has obviously never had anything to do with any of it. The plows never took a back seat from any competitor from the structural design, ease of adjustments and nothing in the time of the 720 design never come close to plowing down corn stalks, or any trash no matter which way you plowed, with the rows, cross way or what ever way you wanted to go, the tilliage equipment such as the 4 5 vibershank and later models were the toughest frame design of any cult, the most shank obstruction clearance and the best weed killer tilliage machine ever build, today a 50 year old 45 vibershank is still selling for 100s of dollars more than new. Same with seeding equipment take the old #10 seed drill up to the last harvester build 5400 drills, no competition could match them for hopper capacity, ease of adjustment, swing out fertilizer floor for easy clean out and more. I have assembled, delivered, owned and ran a lot of this equipment in the last 55 years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
