Machinery Shuffle! 

I can listen to your dad talk about equipment all day long. Idk why, but he's a good story teller! Very old school in such a new school world.

Your dad has alot of words of wisdom for us younger people I'm 26 and like hereing your pops talk he is a hell of a story teller

Your Dad is awesome…! Great stories and I’m sure he is a good teacher. Farming and getting to hang out with your Dad everyday is a blessing for sure.

Love them old M s they move quick in road gear lol

I think the stories about the mishaps of the aerator are priceless and a bit nerve wrecking. We have an old dairy farm that has hills like yours and I could just picture that happening.

I love farm dogs. They are always around to supervise.

Awesome to see some of the older equipment still being used

Your lucky being able to work with your dad and talking to him each day.

Like your videos. We are retired. We have two 1086s a 1066 and a 706 plus a Ferguson. We also had an eight row 36 inch international air planter. Enjoy watching you. Enjoy watching you guys.

Always gets me a little excited when I hear a Farmall M motor running. Another farmer baled our hay for us when I was grade school age and I would listen for him coming up the back side of the hill to our farm. Still gives me a good feeling to hear it. Thanks for the video.

You make backing a wagon look so easy

We farm here quite similarly to what you guys do. From 1918 to 9th 1998 we were a small dairy we are now about a 60 to 80 cow beef heard most of the Year depending on how many calves we get and when we ship calves in the fall and what we keep for beef processing and so on. We do both your corn and shell corn I believe there's still a place for your corn more of our corn goes through the picker then go through the combine. Mostly red tractors we do pull a deer planter 7000 for a wide and we pick with a new idea 324 to a wide row. I enjoy watching your channel because no I'm not milking anymore I understand the small dairy and I like to see somebody farming more to the scale what we do. There's a spot out there for each of us as far as scope is concerned

I do remember the "heat houser" for fall plowing! They really did keep you snug and warm! Put a piece of tarp around the back and you were good to go. Your family shows what a family farm is all about. Thank you for that! Ron

I love watching your videos with you and your dad. Has I live in the UK. And I have learned so much.. your dad is a great teacher. And can't wait for your next video to appear. Abbie from Coventry Westmidlands UK.

I love the way your dad explains his equipment and farming tips. I could listen to him talk all day you are lucky. I like the videos keep them coming grow your channel you deserve to have 500,000 subscribers.

Another great video! You have a beautiful farm and well maintained equipment! Looking forward to another video!

The wrap cover on the M is just like the one we had. I was small enough I could flip up the seat and close up the back give it 1/2 throttle and you could stay pretty warm. Yes, the good old days in the 60's. Great job guys.

Gotta love that ‘heat houser’. Ours got a few rips and we fixed it with duck tape. My brother rigged up a tarp to put on the top, using and old umbrella frame, to keep the rain off.

Planted my alfalfa down near Dubuque Iowa this Monday using our JD B 10' drill. Grandpa bought it new in '67 unassembled. He put used truck tires on it back then and one is still the same. Have used it every year for the last 55 years.

We're shuffling too we cut the deck in that tillage equipment is front and center while the haying equipment is now in the wings. I hear it's going to be picking up.... Wind in the Coulee region too. Don't blow away guys. We have a fanning mill too. I probably should get on cleaning seed oats too.

Those old van brunt drills have seeded so many acres, and so many still are going today. When it comes to seeding alfalfa you cant beat it

Enjoyed seeing your Farmalls working and seeing your equipment. I use older equipment too, and still plant corn in wide rows, due to my planter and combine corn head. Not many of us left doing that.

That hillside drawbar is neat first time seeing it

You can’t find any old JD 4 row planters in my area of Ontario because like your father said, guys buy them all up and make 1 and 2 row planters out of them to sell. The prices are obscene, a single goes for 1500+ and a double pushes the 2500 mark, a sucker is born every day it seems.

You fellows know whats going on thats for sure .....keep them coming

Interesting stuff man👍👍👍👍

Looks like spring is only going to last 1 or 2 days this year.When the cold weather stays so late 🙄 all the sudden 🤔 it gets hot 🥵 and it's summer!! Hope that happens soon.I'm getting tied of having to wear a heavy coat everyday. Great video again. Thanks 😊.

Gotta love that heat houser on that M, back in the day 50s and 60s when there were no cabs ,having that in the fall and winter was a big improvement over having nothing at all

Alot of us here where I am had Deere VB drills..............I figured that was an FB made around 56, might or might not be right with the model, but was pretty close on the year. We put a hitch on the back of ours, pulled a packer or harrow behind it, saving a trip. Worked really good. Also had a Oliver Superior on steel for alot of years, that one worked awesome too, until the need came it had to go down the road. Well if you go narrow rows, still hope for your ear corn...........325 2 row narrow pull type. I got one here, haven't used it in years, but it will get used sooner or later, getting hard to find ear corn, and I prefer to feed ear corn vs shelled, the cob adds feed value IMO.

My uncle pulled the 7100 deere 4 row with the farmall 300 for several years. Switched to the 756 when we got the 6 row. In northwest Pennsylvania.

Like the heat houser we had them and they worked!

Cool equipment. Looking forward to planting videos!

Love to see your farm dogs run free. Reminds me of our home place when we were kids. I split our 12 foot JD Van Brunt to make a food plot seeder for behind a UTV but it still works in a pinch if the big seeder fails. Looking forward to your fanning mill video. We still clean oat seed with ours every winter like the old days.

Haha we need to shuffle around our equipment. Probably should do that tonight 😂

In my gasoline engines that are used occasionally, I put gasoline in them that doesn’t have any alcohol in it. I get it from my local Marathon gas station. It costs a dollar more that premium!

Great video! Love the old tractors!

Your dad moves like he might be an athlete . . .

Shed Tetris is always a fun game with those nice old tractors. It's WI. Spring should arrive a week from Saturday and last for exactly 2 days. Then it will be Summer for 1 hour before returning to blizzard conditions. Great to see the older equipment and hear the stories behind them. Thank you.

Nice video! Great demonstration of backing skills. I got pretty good with the two-wheel manure spreader, but wagons were always more of a challenge.

I have 4 English Setters and I don't have a great trick for removing Burdocks. 🤷‍♂️ I like the old drill. I seed with an 8 foot Case which is very similar to your Van Brunt.

Learned a lot today, thanks !!!!

I believe Van Brunt was bought by John Deere in 1911. Love the videos, keep up the good work.

Mike Becker Books might have a operator Manual for the drill 😊

We had one of those drills like that when I was a kid back on the farm. 30in corn rows: One farm I saw doing Regen Ag set their corn tight in two rows about six inches to a foot apart then sixty to seventy inches to the next pair where they interseeded cover crops / second cash crop in the wide bands between. I think they lined it up with whatever their combine corn head had, stuffing two rows in one take up, skipping a take up, then again two rows in the next. Seemed like it worked to keep up the yields they were after. Looked like they got the same or higher seed population per acre plus a secondary crop out of the freed up land. Looked clever and worth experimenting with. I just got done setting up my 'new' JD 290 corn planter down to 30in rows yesterday and got the seed pitch set today, oiled up ready to go in a month. I only have a small place and doing both conventional and (marginal/experimental) Regen Ag with it. I'll hand pick the corn with helpers but a bigger place it's possible to use a single row picker or I heard there are some narrow row corn heads out there, which you might look for since you are interested in 30in rows too.

For the burrs, if you can get show sheen from the farm store you spray it on and then brush them outakes it a heck of a lot easier to get them out

My grandpa had an old Mc Cormick Deering drill in the woods, and it had a hemp setting, probably for rope I imagine!

heat houser was the poor mans cab

Love your content. My wife and I are starting our farm as we speak right on the other side of the state from you guys, Marinette county.

Awesome video buddy. Growing up we had an IH 4 row air planter like that I can't remember the model number but next time I walk through that building I can certainly look. I remember it planted really nice we maybe did 50-60 acres of corn at that time it wasn't much

Nice videos guys . Are you of Swiss or German heritage been meaning to ask. Wisconsin ya know . Dad has done one heck of of a job foraging out on his own. . Very nice farm . Love the European design you guys Incorporated into the farm .

I love these equipment videos! I also like the maintenance videos. Even simple oil changes like the bobcat video you posted. Would love to see that on the tractors and equipment as well!

Great video once again guys, great to see how you do things on your side of the Atlantic. Here in Ireland 🇮🇪 everything is very different, price of petrol is prohibitive so all our trators are diesel powered even the very small machines

I have that exact grain drill!

Do a vid on the no till drill!!!!

we had a Super MTA! used it for everything!

The older stuff is best. Better built, no nonsense, and cheap to buy. What does the handle on the drawbar of the Super MTA do? You guys should check out Legend Dairy’s RU-vid channel. I think he’s fairly close to you.

I noticed you have your hitch pin on a rope . My husband used to let it drag and one day the tire caught it and flung it into the air and it narrowly missed his head, smashing the fender right next to him. So if you’re letting yours drag, just be aware of what could happen 😟 🇨🇦

I have a john deere van brunt 14 foot model B for years works great

😊 I seen a Side hill Hitch on the M farmall

Great channel Man

Hello. I enjoyed watching your video alot. I sure liked your Machine Shed that you have there where you had your drill seeder inside and other farm equipment you have in there. What size is that machine shed you have there and how high are the walls if I may ask you. I live on a farm by Reward Saskatchewan Canada.

To get rid of burdock all you can do is either mow them down before they seed . Because I've noticed with mine they are becoming round-up talerant.

Curious about the extra storage shed...size and year built ...not sure if it was mentioned before

Try an Afro pick or comb for getting burrs out of your Woof. Works on my Labrador

What’s the story on that shed? Is it on the farm or at a different location?

I'm surprised to see you use all those narrow front tractors while farming on so many steep hills.

What is that handle on the hitch for? Nice to see the 2 mounted pickerts in the shed. What kind of yields do you get in corn in the wide rows vs the yields your neighbors do in narrow rows?

My grandfather had some similar starting issues on his H. He built a set of side panels to cover the sides of the engine and it helped alot. He did the same on his F12 but that has a very different carb setup.

Put some 2 stroke oil in the gas every once in awhile needs more lube

Bigger planters take up more room in the shed !!!😮

we blew up two vac on silos 80 high

great videos , you your dad do well together , do you have any sisters or are you 3 boys dad and mum?

Do they still make those heat housers?

How did your brother like the tractor ride to school? Lol

I think thats a john deere van brunt b model drill.

What would you do when in zero weather the apron chains would freeze to the floors of the wagons and you couldn't run out stalk bedding. One year in the fall before it was really cold our chains stuck; chains broke , much forking.

hi test gas won't gum up the carb as fast...if the engine has not been used for a while corn belongs in the cow not in gas tank; ya think???

There's narrow row pickers out there. We had one a john deer 2 row picker

What’s the bracket for on the back of the straight m?

Do you have lead additive in the fuel you run ??

My uncle had a diary farm in Iowa he had two tractor's allis Chalmers and a international farmall

I got that drill here . It’s John Deere Van brunt FB-A Bought new 1958

What kind of trusses are in that shed?

How did your buddy ever make out with that moline did he bite on it?

I'm not sure if I have the right word for this, but where do you get the rafters for your pole barns? I've never seen those before. They look really sturdy.

Your drill is a model B

whats that got two speed torque convertor

How long has your family been farming?

Can you tell us about the bicycle? i ride bikes

I’d like to hear your dads explanation on why those ms are so whiny. Have they always been like that? Or are they near their death?

keep the old planter to seed smal plases on the farm ore ree seat some plases my dad did that and the old stuff alwayes work

Or if you have alot of them you get yourself an angus steer

I have been watching videos on farmers in Wisconsin going broke one or two every day why is that happening they say no milk pickup I am in Ontario Canada and their is no 30 or 40 cow farmers anymore
