Auction Time!! What Will We Buy!!?? 

I love when Dougo goes down history lane!! You need to do a history of Larson farms video soon

Chet: “Can you guys understand him?” Erik: “Raise your hand if you’re not sure.” 🤣That was GOLD!!!🤣 Merry Christmas, guys!!! 👍😃🙏🏻🇺🇸🌽

You’re never too overdressed for an auction in the winter!

I enjoyed the recalling that Dougo was doing. He is right, you guys do have it a lot easier today than we did 40-50 years agjo. Great video ! Farming has come a long way.

That girl at the window really like Chet. She blushed when you walked in

You can tell Dougo has been to a lot of auctions over the years, you can always take something off if you get too hot. I am in my late sixties and you are right Dougo we really worked hard but each new machine made life so much easier. Keep the videos coming guys, love the BS!

The Blonde and Chad had some chemistry….

Nice little history lesson for those of us that aren't that familiar with the old times

Perfect timing! Got on RU-vid and about to eat and boom your video! Have a great Christmas

Good video. Your right Dougo, the younger generation don’t realize how hard farming used to be.

Dougo looks like a kid going to kindergarten in their full snow suit, coat so big they can't even put their arms down lol

We farmed with a 1962 jd 105 all the way until we quit in 2006 bean head with wood panels . 4 row corn head . No shredder had what we called Whirley birds to spread the straw. We added AC prior to that combined with the doors open when you fish the day all you could see was your eyes when you took your glasses off.

Great video! Take every opportunity to listen to your dad and his stories. Some day when he's gone you'll understand.

These kids really don't understand how easy they have it now! Love seeing the old equipment.

That brought back a lot of memories. Go to more auctions. thanks for having your dad tell everyone how he farmed with what machinery when he was younger. Thank you all.

growing up in my teens i loved to go to farm auctions with my dad RIP.

Nice your dad explains the older equipment.

The best part of this video is just looking and talking about the old machinery

Dougo was really happy talking about how it was farming back in the days. Lots of stories from Dougo we need more Dougo stories.

This was a fun video. Enjoyed the trip back in time. I am your dads age and never realized that they were that small back then and I have seen farming all my life in southern Michigan. Hope you all have a great Christmas.

Note to self, Be thankful for what we have today!!!! Enjoyed Merry Christmas to all!

I remember riding an IH combine in the late fifties. It had its own engine and was pulled by a H. I operated it and filled bags of wheat, oats, barley etc. Fun, no cab, no ac, no gps except for my Dad or Uncle navigating the H. It was dirty, dusty and itchy. Times have changed.

Dougo Chet Eric that was a super time with you all at the auction thank you for sharing and your time was really good loved it was real great Happy Holidays guys .

You guys at the end going through all the old machinery brings back memories. First combine i ran was a old Gleaner G and thought o was hot stuff when I got into the L lol. It had fan setting and not just a old hang down fan.

great video of the auction. Merry Christmas Larson family and every one else

Loved the history lesson from Dougo - always great to hear about how this farm got its start.

Chet , Let’s not be knocking the 4400 too much, my 4420 1985 year is still in service on my 100 acre farm and it does a great job using a 215 platform. Chuck (86 yrs old) and myself enjoy watching you young guys farming at it’s best.

Chet, you younger guys don't know what fun the old days were. My dad had a JD 95 when I was growing up. With a 4 row corn head you could go about 2 mph. We used to run all night my dad and I trading off so that one could go in the house to warm up for a while after dumping a gravity box. Later dad traded up to a 6600 which was luxury by comparison. Now I run a S670 for the farm I work for.

I totally switched from the little twerp in Iowa to you guys , what fun. that grey frozen tundra I do not miss at all.

I thing the Larsons need to go to a event where they have horses pulling the equipment. Plows, disks, swathers and etc. my first memory was putting up loose hay in the barn with a team pulling the hay fork up after it stabbed a mouth full of hay off the hay wagon. All the neighbors helped one another when it com to harvesting. A 4400 combine wasn’t even thought of. Big tractors was Allis Chalmers WD45. Heat and AC - yeah all you wanted plenty of heat in the summer and all the ac you could stand in the winter.

It's funny for me to see the huge tractors you guys have now. Growing up, my Dad grew tobacco and had a Farmall. You guys know how small they were. Heat and AC on those were Summer & Winter! 🤣

Our first self propelled combine was a 600 Case, no cab, 2 row head , 10 ft grain head. You guys would love running that all day. Thx for the video!!

Nothing better than a Larson farms video.

Even Dougo couldn’t break the steering column on the old 4400.

Great to remember what it was like way back when.

Haven't been to a farm auction for almost 50 years, but I remember they tried to schedule for the coldest day of the year! I think there was a bonus if a strong wind was blowing. Buildings with torpedo heaters were very crowded. When I was 8 or so I raised my hand to wave at a neighbor, the auctioneer pointed at my dad and yelled "Sold"! Never did that again.

Ran a 7700 and seeing that cab brought back all the memories. Besides it being a hydro compared to the variable speed in that 4400, everything else was the same. I always think the new ones look so hard to run with all the tech so it was funny to hear the young guys wondering how to run it.

You guys sure do have fun. Merry Christmas to you all from Iowa

Dougo, you forgot to show Chet the yellow handle lever that engaged the seperator. There was no push button controller on that model. It was a manual lever.

Time to get a 4 row so that Chet can open up all of the headlands or end rows next year.

Merry Christmas!! Larson Farms another great one

I had a 3300 and then a 6600 I bought to just cut wheat with, due to the IH rotor's chewing straw up to much, and I like long stem straw for bedding and it dont make as much of a mess in a haymow as straw from a rotor combine. I would have bought a old IH combine, but I got good deals on both the 3300 and the 6600, and ended up selling one for more than I paid for it and the other for what I had in it, so they cost me nothing when I was doing custom wheat cutting for the straw back several years ago. It is amazing how much equipment has changed from when a kid. The combine and tractor seats are definitely much more comfortable than what I grew up with. I remember when we traded the Case 930 and 1370 off for a new Case 2290 and 2390, I though wow these seats are nice in the 90 series, and now days thee seats are heated and air conditioned, and some even give you a massage. Many of this younger generation of farmers have no idea how easy they got it. Back in the day their was no reverser if you plugged the combine, you had to manually reverse it and dig by hand, lol. Plus they were much easier to plug back in the day than they are now, because there as no such thing as roundup ready beans, lol. You cultivated and walked fields with weedhooks, lol.

Chet and Erik, you young guys missed out on so much fun. I ran a 4400 in hot New Mexico with no AC. Finally graduated to a 6600. We hustled to get done by July 4th. It was a great experience. Thanks for taking us along

It’s fun watching Dougo around walk around the old 4400, back in the 60’s we started with a McCormic 151…it originally didn’t have a cab (that was added later) no AC, no PS, no power anything , ran on regular gas maybe had a 80 bushel grain tank

thank you larson farms for the good memories around the 4400. those where big machines in there day

My 1st combine to operate? A 1958 A Gleaner. Ford propane industrial engine. A pipe around the operator with 2 lights on it. Rice lugs & an 11 ft. header. I cut soybeans in 20 degree weather. Fun times! :o)

Don’t feel bad Chet, I have been to many sales in my forty years of farming and bought a lot of stuff, but more times than I have bought something the piece I wanted started a more than I wanted the end price to be!!

Merry Christmas Larson Farms family...n Swede

I would buy that unit to put out in yard as a blast from the past .#doit

Merry Christmas, Dougo looked like the kid from a christmas story who had the snow suit on, and fell down and couldn't get back up. When he was trying to bend down and look at the bottom of that trailer, thought for a second he was going down. When Dougo said his flashlight was buried under his layers of clothes, I had to laugh. God bless all of you.

Thank you for including us.

A 4400 was my first combine in 1979. 13 foot platform and 443 corn head.

Merry Christmas Guy's!!! Makes my day watching your channel! Frank from Brooks Alberta Canada , Newly retired Farmer

It's amazing to see how much the equipment has changed and it's easier on the farmer as long as they have a big wallet. Merry Christmas guys!

Expensive couple of hats you got there

Merry Christmas to all at Larson Farms, I really enjoy all of the content, I could never give a thumbs down on any of your shows !! Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas Larson family.

I really enjoyed this video and Hope that all of you will have a Merry Christmas!!

'55's were the leaders of design, many others followed!

We really enjoyed this video.. thanks

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄 Larson family. Stopped watching Cole so I could see a real farm in the working. Thank you for what you do. See you next year!

Thank you for the history lesson on machinery Boyz. I enjoyed that. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Cheers

Merry Christmas to you all🎄

You youngsters would really be laughing if you worked in a wood slatted trailer pulled behind a J/D with a belly mount, two row cotton stripper. Yeah, farming has come a long way in the last 60 years. 🚜🇺🇲

Well done, Chet. Sure brings back a lot of memories of being at farm auctions for years when I used to farm in Alberta. Merry Christmas and keep them coming. You always make my day! God bless you.

Great video Chet Dougo and Big Swede

Happy holidays to all at larson farms the best channel of all

ole Dougo got threw to the back of the bus, and the young bucks took over. good video fellas! Merry Christmas to everyone!

Auctions were fun. My dad and a neighbor had a Model 55 also, traded up to a used 1972 6600 in 1973. Spent quite a few hours in that one. At least that one had a cylinder down at the hinge to pull the auger out, then you latched it. The big lever on the lower right was how you engage the entire separator and header. Keep the videos coming, love it. Ray from Dawson

Merry Christmas Larson Farms!! Thanks for your positive work ethic! It is so refreshing especially during this day and age!! Appreciate all of you!!

Chet, Erik, Dougo and the Larson Farm family, Merry Christmas and please have a safe and happy new year, god bless you all from the Topping family, Melbourne Australia.

I loved the comment, "that's the worst, when the start out at your last bid." LOL. But I really liked the $81K hats and the free pen.

That 4400 did a lot of work back in it's day. So, don't knock it down too badly. If my memory serves correctly, the 4400 had a 13' and or a 15' header along with a max of 4 row corn header. Thing is, replace those drive wheels with steel tracks and that machine will go through mud better than your newer combines will. Those were the good ol days back when people knew what real work was. Cheers :)

This is one of my favorite videos

The 4400 sure took me back. You wanted to park those babies nose down when you had to swing the auger out, gravity helps! LOL When I started we had a 55 also, the 4400's looked huge compared to them. Ah, the memories! Good video guys!

Merry Christmas, Boys and a Happy New Year. My favorite farming channel by far.

MERRY CHRISTMAS LARSON FARM ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS EVERY DAY I WENT FROM FARMING TO MOWING LAWNS JUST ENJOY THIS

LARSON FARMS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO TO FEED US ALL

Rest video as usual, enjoy them all. My how times have changed, Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

I was a little surprised that you young lads hadn't been around a 55 or a 4400 John Deere before. Your Dad is right, you don't know how hard we worked. lol

Merry Christmas Larson Farms 🎄

Merry Christmas, and God bless you all this season.

Thanks for the great video Merry Christmas

I went to a farm auction once and let’s just say I was not prepared for the cold at all. I had nowhere near enough clothes on. 🥶 thanks Larson Farms👍🇺🇸

You need to run the old 40 we had. 3 row bean head and 2 row corn head Load it up on the pickup and go.

Merry Christmas.

Have a Blessed Christmas from Pilot Knob, MO

My dad bought a 4400 new in around 1975..I was raised on that thing with a shotgun in the corner of cab...Was shelling corn by myself at 9 years old... Good little machines but tight places to work on them...

Merry Christmas guys

Like your idea Chet on putting it at the end of the driveway. Cause you can do anything !

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. Congratulations on the corn head you got. Would think the folding corn head would be nice feature to have. The previous owner said not many hours on it. Know you will put it to good use. Wow, some of that equipment went high. But new is hard to get right now , so nice used stuff is going good. The owner took good care of equipment the way it looked. I think the auction company enjoyed having all of you there. Their mobile trailer was a place inside. Great way to conduct business. Things now days are something else. Funny your reaction Chet to the old combine. Such a huge huge difference now days in equipment. What we had in the 50’s and 60’s was so different to what you have now. Running old equipment was really hard work. We never had a cab on anything, tractor or combine. Wow, a world of difference now days. The equipment you have now is luxury so to speak in comparison. Glad you took us to the auction. It was interesting. Thanks. About it for now. You all take care and be safe and go get that new used corn head. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.

That was fun, thank you! Seeing all those grasshoppers all lined up at the end made me smile. There will be a harvest season next year! thank you for sharing this year, ups and downs. Bless you all, and Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to the Larson clan and Erik too! Scritches for Toby! From Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

We went from a John Deere 55 to a 95 to a 4400 to a 6600 to a 6620. We had one of the last 95’s that was made by Deere.

Chet you have no idea how good you have it

Dougo really enjoyed showing Chet, how it was back in the day. Like my dad saying that if he had nail guns to frame houses, he would not have a collapsed bicep from pounding nails

Merry Christmas🌲⛄

Hi guys thanks for a great year of filming look forward to next year and all its foreboding...all the best many thanks again....

Christmas Blessings to you and your dear family. May the presence of the Christ Child fill your hears anew and my the new year he filled with His Peace and Goodwill.

I enjoy all y'all video's
