Today we are taking the diesel John Deere 4020 out of the weeds and putting her to work. We rescued an old cultivator from the weeds of a neighbors place and got it ready for our sweet corn patch. We got new tires on the tractor and spaced them out correctly for our 30 inch rows. What did you think of today's video? Do you like the old tractors? What piece of iron should we use next? I can't wait to taste our sweet corn. Thank you so much for watching today's video! We will see you in the next one.

If you go on an adventure with Laura, you be surprised what you can find. - I do admire Laura and Grant using old equipment for their farm, rather than spending thousands on new equipment they can't afford. - you have a very good employee who seems he knows what he is doing, he is the sort that you can leave alone, and he will get on and do a good job. Love to you all from Mike. ❤

They use top end equipment for their farm. This is a special plot made as part of an educational series on how to get started in farming. They bought and refurbished old used equipment to show how to get started.

Grew up in the 50's on a dairy farm in NY. That is how we did our farming. An open station in the blazing sun working our tails off. Spent 5 to 7 hours a day in the fields doing exactly that. It was fun and hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

You need to cut the end off the pieces you removed that are plated on the square tubes and weld them on the other existing tubes because that’s part part of the structure to strengthen the remaining square tubes and keeps weather out and dirt buildup inside the frame. 😊

@@beesbo1856 Agree. They could have also put the weeder back in the shop after the job outdoors was finished and welded it then. If I had a shop as big as theirs, I would be in it if I was not outside farming. It depends on their drive and determination. They don't have children to take care of but maybe they have a nighttime TV/RU-vid Habit.

Done cultivating back in the day with a 2 row on a 1938 B John Deere. It had no hydraulics. You lift it in and out of the dirt with manual lever. With no weed control we would cultivate 3-4 times a season starting when the corn was 2" tall until knee high. First time through was done in low gear, 2 miles per hrs. That's like 1 acre per hrs. The second time thru would could speed up a little and the 3 and 4th time you went 6- 7 mi. per hrs. 80 acres of corn cultivating was 7 weeks full time work for 1 person. But it was so much faster than horses because you didn't have to rest the tractor when you got to the end of the rows. A single farmer never had more than 80 acres of corn as the guys that still used horses had to pick the corn by hand and unloaded their wagons by hand. By the way, those horses were auto steer especially at the end of the day when they were going home. Enjoy watch your videos. Thankyou for sharing.

How do you harvest the sweet corn there? In South Georgia we use a mule train and by hand. The mule train is the machine that allows the corn to get from field to truck then to cooler. All corn is picked,packed,boxes counted,and stacked by hand to a truck. 840 boxes per truck. Each box has 48 ears

@bobbolieu9013 20 дней назад

After welding in the same place so many times the metal get crystallized and looses a lot of its good properties. This can lead to an unsafe situation by pulling on it very much more. You could work at heating the bolt with a Rose Bud tip on a Gas Torch set up, Oxy Acetylene. The Rose Bud gives a nice big frame front which is good for spreading heat and not blowing the metal away like a Cutting Torch can. Let the bolt cool a bit. Then if you can get an Air Hammer you can use that to "hit" the bolt really quickly. The heat can cause the rust to weaken and the Air Hammer work like an Impact Wrench and shock the bolt loose. Then again you might wind up drilling out the bolt from both sides due to the length. You won't have to drill the whole diameter of the bolt. Be sure to use lots of cooling fluid when drilling cause the bit will get really hot then dull very quick.

You kids crack me up with your auto steer and air conditioned tractor cabs! I was a weekend farmer, farming my granddads Missouri farm. My uncle gave me Zero training, just told me to go hook up that cultivator and get out there and cultivate those 160 acres of soy beans. No umbrella, no auto steer, no air conditioning and a warm jug of cloudy well water. All this was after milking of course. The year was 1972 and I was 11. Could barely push the clutch all the way down on that IH 560. Don't get me started on combining fescue with that old IH combine with Zero training from my old crotchety uncle! I still don't talk to him. Your channel makes me nostalgic. Enjoy these days you young Wilsons.

I'm located in Southeast Georgia, have worked all over the country as a certified TIG welder, fabricator, fitter. Ya know, from what I've found out, if you ever get a bolt removed, the best thing I've done is to use some anti-sieze. And if you need to get the bolt out from a straight through hole, get a heavy duty C-Clamp, such as an Armstrong brand, or an adjustable Bessey Clamp. You can weld a bolt that has been ground down on the circumstance then weld to a small piece of 1/4" or 3/8" bar, then place it on one end of the clamp, then on the other end of the C-Clamp, use a socket (like a 1/2" drive for a ratchet, with the open end towards the bolt you're trying to remove, so the bolt coming out, which was broken off on the tractor front end) so it can go inside the socket, and you'll still be able to tighten the C-Clamp. If you don't have a heavy duty Bessey Clamp, they can save lots of time when using them. This is basically the same thing as a bearing press, only it is portable.

Spent a lot of my youth riding along on grandpa’s JD 60 cultivating 3 rows at a time. Those 2 lunger poppin’ John’s had a rhythm all their own…

Love the sound of the old diesel 4020, just like one we had on the farm growing up. So many memories when i was in high school running the 16 row cultivator in fields on an old Case IH 7120 as well. Amazing that we don't see that as much anymore

When I was a kid on an 80 acre farm all corn was done with a 2 row system planter and cultivator with a B farm tractor 2 to 3 times a season.

Thank you so much for using the older equipment! Reminds me of my days in the field as a kid. Only difference all we used was Red tractors and equipment. Also thanks for sharing pepper with us more.
