Video: Vintage Ford tractor advertisement

We did some digging and found this old, old tractor 'documentary' from Ford Tractors... enjoy!

 

 

There’s vintage, and then there’s this…

This one’s from about 100 years ago, and it depicts the transition between farm life before and after tractors.

Admittedly, it’s the 1917 equivalent of a PR advertisement we’d see today – but it’s still interesting and entertaining if you’ve got an interest in agricultural history, vintage machinery, or even just silent film.

Aren’t you glad we had people like ‘little Bill Todd’ around so that we can carry on this ‘new-fangled’ trend of horseless farming?

Of course, if you are still using a horse, you should consider an upgrade…
