Reading the posts in response to the video, same thing as many said, was how it was here with farms in those days. There sure were a lot of silos abandoned and or not in use, many standing as the last recognizable part of an old farm after all the barns were gone. I can think of a few still around today, just a silo, with nothing else around, both the concrete stave and harvestore (sp?) types.
Another observation was the fact that front end loaders were still not all that common. I want to ask the question in another post, when did your farm or past farm going back to those days, get a hydraulically operated front end loader ?
My long time neighbor and friend spent his entire life farming, most of it as a dairy man. His only loader for the longest time was on a 620 JD, with manure tines if I recall. It was good at moving rocks out of fields. He was smart with his money, so I imagined necessity was the only thing that changed this for his equipment line up. We had a 2010 JD, with a loader, but that tractor did not stay here but for a couple of years, then no loader was here until I bought an old 850 ford with wagner loader. I don't recall seeing very many loaders at our ford tractor dealership, unless it was an industrial model that we were low bidder on to a municipality, or a backhoe. I know they were around and lots of them were built by the late 60's, and as indispensable they are, there were just not lots of them around, well that I saw.
