This is a 16MM home movie of farm life in the 1930's, especially tractors and even a tractor pulling a shed. Enjoy!

This is great, Tom! And to think that someone's new (and expensive) movie hobby has provided us with this unique insight into one aspect of farming in that era. Immediately after WW2, my grandfather sold Ferguson tractors to farmers. Part of the sales deal was that he went to the farm to show the farmer all the possibilities of its use! Unfortunately, no picture record. Peter, NZ.

Hi i was wondering if i could use this footage for a school project. I'm making a documentary on farms. Is that alright?

I remember up until Interstate 80 went through our farms in 1960, there was an old bachelor farmer with 80 acres who farmed until then with a McCormick Deering 10-20 tractor with rubber tires and an F-12 with steel wheels and a 2 row cultivator. After he was forced off the farm by the highway construction, he lived in a little apartment over a gas station. It was sad to watch him lose interest in life. The only permanent thing is change except for timeless wisdom. That's my anchor.

yes down under in Erina NSW my grampa had a tractor similar to this in the 50s. The smell of the dirt turning over and the kookaburras hunting for worms is still in my mind. Thanks fella

I like the part where no one is driving the tractor. lol

@myshinywagon, This is from a 16MM home movie. I collect old 16MM films, including home movies. The silent film stock and style are consistent of home movie camerawork in films of that era. The only non-home movies I have posted to youtube are scoptione music videos from the 1960s.

The 1930's were hard times. If you had a farm, you could at least eat. If you made money with your farm, then you were lucky. Many people lost their farms. Thank you for posting this piece of history. George Vreeland Hill
