Like a lot of things I think they're keeping supplies low to screw with the prices. 3 ribs are ok if the tractors not over heavy. I've had 2 sets crack along the middle rib on this tractor because I think it's too heavy for all the weight to be mainly on the center rib.
Hello , I used to sub to your channel , I’m not sure but I couldn’t remember your channel name ..well I found your channel , the sad part of all what’s going on in the USA …is they’re hurting the small farmers on purpose…run them out of business…I wish people would understand what’s happening in the country… honestly the government is running all the business to China …friend I’m praying for you and I love your videos and I glad I found your channel again . My dream was to have a farm but that didn’t happen..my brother has a farm and I go see his farm ..it’s the feeling of freedom.. it’s ok to Rant friend we need to stick together and stand up for each what our country was and stand for ..I care and respect..can’t wait to watch more of your videos ..take care ..
@@FarmallFanatic I've made good luck with inland plastic tarp, average probably 4-5 years. Ones from TSC lucky to get through the winter. Any movement in the wind and the UV rays is what ruins them
I remember growing up my mom would drag all six of us kids out to go pick those berries and we would end up getting scratched to hell but you know what that was the best jam we ever had
I wish I lived where they didn’t use salt on the roads. Around here a vehicle or tractor touches the road and it disintegrates. I think there’s more salt then snow sometimes 😂
State roads are like that around here. My township likes to have all new equipment because they think they're comparable to the state but we're lucky to see them put down a useful amount of antiskid.
awesome old barn thanks for sharing, I reckon back in the day they might of had wheat and or oat sheaves in one area to do barn threshing in the olden days
when we stack round bales in the hay shed we put them on there flat side and the other on top like that, that way one can fit far more bales in the shed, but everyone does it differently which is good too. Awesome video as always keep em coming
That's something I can try next year. I changed from my original plan of all going the same as the middle bales which would have got more. I went this way because it maxed what I got in there with the bedding hay stacked like that on the west side to help keep rain and the snow blowing in.
Right now I'm selling some to a neighbor to supplement his pasture till his beef go to the butcher. Another neighbor is going to buy some of the second cut. Around November I'll start taking some to the local livestock/hay auction when the price gets better.
On my side of the Atlantic we call them abreast parlours, not many left now as it’s all herringbones, rotarys and robots. Do you mean each stall costs 2k or are you including the milking equipment? It wouldn’t be a big job to make those stalls from scratch for a fraction of the cost.
I call TSC tough shit Charlie’s, they don’t have much of anything if it’s not dog food, bird seed, or clothing. Really a shame from what it used to be.
It's all of them including the local mills. Seems like everywhere you turn places only want to deal with someone who'll take a semi load because of less labor or hobby farmers who don't worry what they pay for something.
Stoneboro has been great. A really interesting fairgrounds. 70 Oliver's 100 MM 10 white tractors and 100 of other brand tractors. Wad invited to come back to Pennsylvania in April for a fun plow day near west liberty
@Mad_Farmer912 it is ok. As of right now I believe we are coming back next year. To the Grove city show maybe things will work out then. Look up buckeye oliver club our website will have were all we will be present and future
If you can still find plastic packing rope, I would stock up on it because it will most likely not be available at all next year. Most of it is made in Europe and it may no longer be used there from 2025. Only sisal rope , so plastic pack rope is no longer made there.
Hope you have been doing well. I have not baled hay since January and February. We had been in a bad drought and they cut our Irrigation water. It wasn't till recently that we got some rain. Hope to bale soon. Have a great weekend.
Going about as good as anywhere. 😂 We've been getting the low side of rains but enough that it actually does good. Any really severe rain seems to continue along the lake shore or stays south. I know the east coast is also getting hit hard with drought.
Being a German made baler it's considered 4x4 meters. Being a soft core baler and the way it makes a bale when I measure them the final size is 4.5 ft diameter x 4 ft wide. Last year I sold wrapped baleage that I made for $50. And for dry hay I want to get $40 but sold to the neighbor out of the field for $35.
When I started hay I had about 100 bales left. I only sold a couple of loads to the neighbors last year and most of it I've been feeding to the animals I have. One neighbor wants some this year and what else I figure I can sell I'll take to an auction over the winter. Right now hay is bringing next to nothing there.
I you find time. Stope by stoneboro murcer county fairgrounds. Our club will be setup Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and most of Sunday. 25th-28th of July. I absolutely love the 2-70 love the looks and style. Wide front and 1 he'll of a chore tractor
I really like that white. Never seen a 2-70 with 38” tires but damn does it look good. Almost looks like a 2/85 or 105. I’ve heard the Nebraska tractor test cheated white and Oliver on their hp rating and I kinda believe that bc it seems those tractors have more hp than what’s on paper. White and international are definitely my favorites 👍🏻. That silver paint always looks really sporty and when it fades and rusts it gives off a lot of character. Thanks for sharing.
The farm I worked on when I was younger had two of them I can't remember the models numbers one had a cab one didn't they r I remember riding the fenders bailing hay some of best times in my life
Thanks for showing me your collection and talking about it looking forward to seeing that old white running the field thanks for taking me along I really enjoy all your videos and learn so much cheers to you stay safe out there God bless
White 2-70 is probably the best 70 hp tractor on the market when built I love mine also have a late 1650 which is basically the same tractor other than tin
@@user-ot4pe1fs2d 3-5 years ago we were in a wet pattern where were couldn't make hay, planted crops late, and wet falls couldn't get crops off . A major part that lead to ending milking Probably the next few years we'll get the drought from the east coast. Yearly patterns seem to continue to move west .
I doubt it. Even though my cousins did scrap a lot of old cars and junk equipment years ago as you can see they never get rid of anything. When something isn't worth fixing they just park it
Taught me a lot about tire ballast. Thanks MF! Bought my first used tire and discovered rust was not outside related but calcium leak. No tubes and filled above rim but still leaked and nearly ruined one rim. Had tubes put in and refilled. Not cheap but extends tractor life and make things right.
@@dogwoodish because of the process breeding hybrid seed the offspring kernels won't yield like the parent plants. Open pollinated or heirloom seed results in kernels being replicas and can be saved to replant. As with most of nature saving seed from the largest ears and tallest plants is what keeps the line strong. This is one reason I wanted to plant open pollinated corn this year is to save seed. With the way the world is going who knows what supplies will be guaranteed to be available next year. This way it gives an option for protection of supply issues.
@@Mad_Farmer912 it was to the bottom of the transmission. I used a different tractor to pull the bushhog out of the way . Then I used the forks to push me backwards. It was stuck for a couple weeks so it was a good feeling getting it out.
