OT - Tractor/Video Youtube Rant!!!!

Bill VA · Mar 4, 2015

Not really a rant..... ;-)

When I watch a youtube video of a tractor doing chores, be it baling hay or plowing, it would be nice to just get the sweet sound of the tractor/machinery alone!

What I don't want to hear is some song blaring away, or the sound of a golf cart or 4 wheeler's motor covering up the tractor/machinery's sound while following the tractor.

To me - the sound of the tractor laboring and or the baler, etc working hard adds very much to the video.

I also don't want to hear some a bunch of guys talking or trying to narrate!

I'd like some of the camera persons to just hold still - LOL! And if at all possible, focus the attention on the tractor/machinery - not some dog walking across the field, or something else.

Watching an old IH diesel (or another fine piece of old iron) working hard IMHO just sounds GREAT - nothing else needed!

What drives you nuts with these youtube farming videos.

Btw - talk is cheap. I'll be posting some videos this Summer of me a mid the boys making some hay. Hopefully I'll get it right!

How do you like the plowing or chopping pictures that just show you a picture of the muffler on the front of the tractor and the ground going by. I'm with you.

This was my first attempt at just such a video. I added some music as I thought it was a bit quiet in between but overall I tried to keep the tractor sounds there. I agree on what others have said...keep it still and don't just show us the muffler from the drivers seat!

I know what you mean about the music. Some of them are so loud you have to turn the volume down just to tolerate it. Here are my videos if you want to check them out. I ve got a few more I need to get on there.

A little music in the background sometimes can be a good thing but I agree that there are some videos I just have to turn the sound off. Too loud or not my choice of music. I have mostly kept mine music free so you can just hear the machinery or my voice .

I watched one the other night where there were so many golf carts and four wheelers that you could not tell what was actually being demonstrated. I gave up after about 2 minutes.

Hey, I bought a new discbine and the sound it made when you brought it up to speed was AC/DC "Back in Black" - exactly. I thought that was the normal sound it was supposed to make. Until it imploded on the first field...

Neat video. My wife got me a go pro for my bithday and haven't got to try it out yet. Hopefully I can this spring.

The Dukester · Mar 4, 2015

Usually people who make the videos with a music background don't have enough experience about the subject equipment they're using to know that the sound it makes is a large part of the character of the equipment. If it's not running there is no sound, right? I don't personally mind the music too much unless it's some of that modern hip-hop racket or some other dope addict influenced stuff. Bare in mind this is all amateur production stuff and the price to see it is pretty reasonable.

Ok.....so what's a "gopro"?

retired farmer · Mar 4, 2015

It is a camera.

rusty6 · Mar 4, 2015

It is a great little action camera in a sealed plastic case. Water proof although I haven't tested that feature yet. No worries about a bit of snow or dust hitting it. I've run it in a rainstorm on the rack of my trike with no worries about water getting in. Takes a nice still photo too.

You could always check out my YouTube channel - most of my videos that include equipment are solely based on just that... Equipment. I've got a few videos that include music - but these are for the most part slideshows and would leave the viewer very unstimulated without anything to listen to.
