Horseless Farming With Ford Tractors - 1917 Educational Documentary - WDTVLIVE42
Ford Tractor Company farm tractor advertising infomercial. Shows the timesaving benefits of the Ford "Model B" tractors working on the farm and includes scenes showing the manufacture of this early prototype tractor. The Ford Tractor Company was not related to the Ford Motor Company but used the Ford name to piggyback on the fame & reputation of the other company.

My grandfathers would have understood this better than me.
I wish they could see how we do things now. -
Must have been fun.
Do a couple of sections with this baby.
And compare it with now.
Climate control, full iEverything, autosteer, etc.
More like a living room than a tractor. -
It may seem silly by todays standard, but this machine was an incredible leap in efficiency ,and made life better for every one. I still have some of the old pieces of farm equipment lying around my place .

In the 50' and 60' ,as a country boy in Brittany ,we had greatest admiration for John Deere tractors ,those fine green grasshopers able to turn round without moving their rear wheels ,a great show every time..

that is the tractor that began the efforts of the Nebraska Tractor Tests not a Ford Motor Co machine but a rather pathetic attempt to rip off the Ford name. There is a surviving copy of this tractor at the Tractor Test Museum that serves as the example used to explain the mission of the Nebraska Tractor Tests.
Thanks for posting this great piece of historical footage -
I have two old Fordsons A 1938 N demonstrator one of three in north America .The other one is a 1942 RCAF Fordson N Bomb hauler It pulled 15 trolleys of bombs to the bombers in the UK in WW2 .This one will go over 30 miles an hour to get off the airport when the German fighters were coming . I have not found another on like it .

the german side of my family sure knew what they were doing ,, they had lots of hanky panky to produce lots of cheap slave labor ,, why do certain parents lie and say they are training the children ,, in reality they are just getting low to free labor workers , promises promises promises ,, and in the end its still a fight to claim all the hard work and sweat put into a future promise

awesome vid ,, i love the old b&w vids ,, the good old days ,, just would not have liked to live in those days ,, all that hard endless over lifting back breaking work ,, i would have been dead at 30 ,, maybe that would have been a good thing since i have yet to be pushed to my limits ,, the hard work would have certainly put me in the ground way sooner then today's labor ,, still suffering with the pain of stupidity brought on by doing things my body was not meant to do ,

to me aint a scam paul ford made them right? he was making farm equipment no cars n according with the video. those machines work the land as previst of course a few desing drawbacks smoke noise n confortability . same drawbacks ford car company has on that time. honor that man that try to ease the hard work of the farmers n workers n increase production to cover the food necesities of the nation.same think as monsanto does but with more damage than good results..salute paul ford my easy going farmers..
