20 American Tractors That Built the Family Farm

There was a stretch of American farming when a tractor was expected to outlive the man who bought it. No sealed modules, no dealer software, no parts that stopped existing after eight years. A farmer could pull a machine into his own barn, take it apart on a dirt floor and have it back in the field by morning. This video covers those exact machines, what made them last, why farmers still refuse to part with them, and what was lost when computers took over the cab. Some of these tractors are still working fields today. Some of the companies that built them are long gone. The iron outlasted them both.
