Here at Bullard Farms, we are gardening, playing with tractors, and doing general things around the farm. What kinds of tractors? All kinds of tractors. We are working on and playing with antique lawn mowers all the way up to bigger Massey Ferguson tractors, with some in between, such as a Super A Farmall and G Allis Chalmers. We use some of these tractors in our garden, and others we just play around with. If you are even slightly interested in gardening, or antique tractors, this is the channel for you!
This is a Christian Farm where God always comes first. Remember to thank God for everything.
DEUTERONOMY 8:10 "When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land He has given you."
We planted ours on an old cow pasture/ feed lot so there is enough phosphorus and potassium to last a long long time. We just put out straight nitrogen. Thanks for watching!
Just watched this again. The AV that I bought last November has a set of lower arms with a "square bracket" mount at the end for mounting a square bar on 45* angle and using attachments like your planter. I'm going to try to figure out how to mount a HF 3 point quick hitch instead of rigging a 3 point hitch. Going to have to do some redneck engineering also. Thanks for sharing, God Bless, Ken
Yesterday I noticed the ground starting crack where I planted about 20 hills of potatoes last month. Never tried growing them before, but we had a few in the fridge starting to grow eyes so I decided to plant them. How tall do you let them get before hilling more soil to them? Thanks, and God Bless, Ken
Some people will cover them back up once they sprout, but I'm not brave enough to try that right now 😂. I would think probably about whenever you wanted to throw dirt to them would be ok. We don't throw a terrible amount of dirt to ours. When we plow them with the rolling cultivators it puts some dirt back to them. I'll probably try to run the rolling cultivators over ours one more time and throw as much dirt as I can with them. Hope that helps -Thomas
Gonna have to get me a flag to fly on my Farmalls, I like that, used to fly one behind my Victory Touring Cruiser when we rode. Planted the garden last month with the Super A and a 180 belly planter and IH Duplex planter. Rebuilt the rolling cultivators I picked up last year last week and got the garden side dressed today with a 140 I picked up a couple of months ago. First time using rolling cultivators and it was a steep learning curve for this 69 year old. I couldn't get the cultivator on the right to lock down in place. It's got a broken clamp that holds the shank on the cultivator. Might have to get a different set of clamps or weld it in place, even tried double wrenching it and it still slipped. God Bless! Ken
There is a guy down the road from us that has a Victory. They are nice motorcycles. I think once you get the rolling cultivators right, you will really enjoy them. We got ours with the tractor and they were already adjusted, so we haven't messed with them. We might have to redo the bearings on one of them (it gets a little tight sometimes). They sure do leave a nice looking bed. How do you like your belly planter? Thanks for watching!
@@bullardfarms Last year I rigged up a Cole Duplex planter (horse drawn) behind my 93yo FIL's Super AV, and it worked great but it kept falling over if the bed wasn't a consistent height. I got red fever and bought a Super A and they guy had the 180 as yard art, so I managed to buy and restore it. Then I found an IH Duplex planter and restored it also. I like them both, but will probably leave them on the Super A and use that tractor for planting only. The corn seed plate is for field corn so it "over seeded" with sweet corn. I had 3-4 seeds dropping at once apparently, instead of 15" spacing I got 3-4 per foot. I want to set the 140 up for cultivating and side dressing, and use one of the AV's for cultivating and side dressing when corn gets to tall for the 140.
@@customcutter100 That's cool that you have an AV. They were probably pretty rare. It works good if you can have a tractor for a specific implement/job. Saves a lot of time changing stuff out.
@@bullardfarms Yes, my FIL has an AV and I bought another 1 last November. I want to set each tractor up for a different job. I've been fooling with the 140 and these cultivators for 2 days now. Good thing I'm retired LOL We have 2 Super AV's, Super A, 100, and a 140 now. I bought a 5' 3 point disc last week, so need to set one up with a 3 point quick hitch on the rear. There were only 1306 of the AV's made.
Thanks! Believe it or not, it hooked right up. You can get those field cultivators at northern tool. They are made for an ATV. Just hooks to a regular hitch with a pin. It works fairly well behind the lawn mower. If I had some wheel weights it would work better.
I had a 1960 Ford F350 flatbed dump truck it had removable wood sides . With a 300 straight 6 . 4 speed manual transmission. Bright yellow I really wish I still had it
@bullardfarms it ran very strong. I could haul anything with it . I went up a mountain 65 mph with a load before. I traded it as a down payment for a yanmar compact tractor back in 2015 or so
Daddy got a blank plate and cut holes in it. It plants some of our stuff too thick but did really well with the sunflowers. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks! We got that little field cultivator about a year ago, I think. (Might have been 2. Time flies) It does a pretty good job in loose dirt without a lot of weeds. I've been thinking about building a little rolling basket to go behind it. We're a little south of Fayetteville.
That's a whole lot of peas. What type of peas are you shelling, I'm looking for something that will shell little marvel peas. All the mechanical shellers iv found are for blackeye peas.
My grandaddy got the seed from a man named R.B. years ago so we call them R.B. peas. I believe they are actually Dixie Lee peas. I don't know anything about little marvel peas, but this pea sheller says it will work on butter beans and zipper peas (if little marvel is anything like that). Thanks for watching!
Yeah I'm sure it probably saves a lot of time. I've always thought that a lot of inventions were made by people doing manual labor trying to figure out an easier way to do it. Thanks for watching!
Yes sir that will work. More than a few times, I went over tobacco land lightly with the tillage tool to help it dry out and it works. 2-3 years ago, I did the same thing in my garden using the cultivators on my 140 and by the next day, it was ready to disk and list. I love that Super A. Perfect for row crop work. If I had one, I could leave the hitch on the 140 year round.
Enjoyed the video. My wife and I are backyard hobby gardeners in Northwest Florida. We've got bucket potatoes growing and two 25ft rows of potatoes planted in our in-ground garden. Have a blessed day!
I pushed it a little this year and planted our bucket potatoes on Feb 2, and our in ground a couple of days after Valentine's Day. All are doing good so far. We have a RU-vid channel as a hobby, check out potato videos. They're pretty bad, lol@@bullardfarms
@Jtwes Yeah, it does seem like they put a lot of dirt on top of them, but they'll grow through it eventually. I really enjoy your live streams. Thanks for watching and commenting! 🙂
@KeithSizemore We've had good luck doing them like this in years past. We'll see how they do this year. I'm sure using a rake would work well. It's not really any fun when you lose a crop. Thanks for Watching!
I don't know exactly how much the max is. We've hauled 4 bobcat scoops of crushed concrete. I think that the place we got the concrete from called that 2 tons. That had a pretty good load on it. I don't know if you can tell it in the video, but the truck sits low on the rear. A previous owner of the truck must have loaded it really heavy because the leaf springs are bent. I guess the limiting factor is how much weight you are comfortable with hauling 😂. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you can find a weight spec somewhere.
We sort of liked the look of the toolboxes side by side. It probably would still have dumped if we put it under the first box though. That's a nice looking truck on your profile picture.
Thanks for the compliment! I like the toolboxes. We got them off of Amazon. They aren't made out of very heavy metal though. They would probably bend if you stood or sat on them. I think a name brand box would be a lot sturdier, but for the price (probably less than half), I think these will work just fine.
@@bullardfarms I can remember it like it was yesterday, it was absolutely brand new, the very last they made before the 135 , it had bug eye headlights mounted on top of the engine bonnet,, I'm from central Scotland, traditionally, dairy,beef, arable, sheep country, but sadly dairy has almost gone completely, so I'm not a farmer, just someone who spent my working life as a " tractorman" on a mixed farm 🏴✌️
@@JamesDickson-vs5offrom SW Scotland , did the same, we had Massey 35 and a grey fergy, Fordson SM roadless we even had a 3bagger MH combine, and Gypsy Cobs, family then had a small agri- forestry contracting business.. often remeber them fitted with cages especialy after the 63/4 winter and floods..
Plant 50 rows less next year then there will be no waste. When we grew them for winter sheep I always thought that as much as half was wasted left in the ground they couldn't eat even though there was restricted grazing with electric netting. I don't like to see crop wastage.
I had less than 8 dollars in the seed. I had maybe 30 dollars in the fertilizer. We do a pick your own patch. We sold a lot of turnips and rutabagas out of there. I may be wrong but I think that when doing pick your own, people would rather come to a substantial looking patch rather than just a row or two. To me there is not much difference in discing them in or not even planting them at all. They won't be there either way. Besides, discing them in puts nutrients back into the soil. Thanks for watching and commenting!😊
@@JamesDickson-vs5of if I remember right, we turned winter ewes onto turnip then finished on kale.. but do remember something about the mud at market..
