Vintage Tractors Pulling

rusty6 · Feb 11, 2014

Uploaded a few clips of my 1988 vintage tractor pull video from VHS tape. Those tractors were old even in 1988 when I shot it . Terrible hot and windy day and it was like that all summer. Driest year I have ever known. My first tractor pull too.

Nice job, what did you use to convert the VHS tapes to digital?

Thanks
Rich

that was neat...yes 1988 was one of the dryest I
can remember..

I don't know how rusty did the conversion but will tell you how I did some. I got a DVD player/recorder at wallyworld for about 80 bucks. My VHS player has outputs for video cables (yellow, red, white) that feed straight to the corresponding DVD inputs. Pretty easy after I figured out how to make the DVD recorder work.

Thanks for making that link more visible Bill. Its beyond me how some of you guys can do that. I've tried about every option on the page with no success.
I used the same old VHS camcorder that recorded the movie to play it back through cables and a little converter called "the dazzler". Used the windows movie maker program that comes with all windows computers to put the clips together and add sub titles. I need to experiment more with it as I am not yet satisfied with the video quality.
Four years later I got the opportunity to record another local pull.

Looked like the newest episode of Prairie Farm Report on RFD.

yeah, i remember it being dry.

in 88 they were letting farmers mow and bale the highway medians to get some hay.

I'm planning to put together some video of the harvest of 88 . I have never travelled so fast picking up swath with a 510 Massey combine. Swath was pretty skimpy. That harvest helped me decide to buy a straight cut header for the combine as it would have saved a lot of time and maybe some grain too.

No, I must have missed something.
