Short Gehl Film From Around 1960

[Absent Minded Farmer]

Almost forgot about this one. I'm guessing the date at around 1960. Think that's the year the forage harvesters got the seafoam green wheels. There's an Allis D something on the hay conditioner in the beginning, so it's after '57. If anyone else runs across some clues as to date, just let me know.

There will be another, longer video coming out featuring Gehl at a farm show in 1955. I really got a kick out of the film. You get to see the Gehl boys at the Papac tent kicking some tires & poking at a display. Lots of other classics to ogle as well.

Stay tuned for more films!

Enjoy!!

That was enjoyable with the sound off. Whoever played that screeching should have been held under water, but it was fun to watch that old stuff working.

Glad to hear it was still visually appealing! When it gets down to using music without copyright, the pickin's are gettin' slim. Even though there are several sound effects records here, things like artillery fire or an old hit 'n' miss cement mixer just didn't quite cut it.

Thanks for posting. Gehl sold a lot of those early silage wagons. Grandfather had one. Tom

Dad had an old pull type Gehl chopper, 1 row corn head and a direct cut head. It had a big 4 cyl Le Roi engine. Later he got a Bearcat flail chopper and a Gehl silo unload wagon. I think that was 1963....James
