Great. The advantage to the cub cultivator system is that you can adjust it how ever you want. There is no set of specific adjustments. Your crop your choice. Nice. We have been using our cub and attachments since it was purchased in new in 1949. Its job was preparing and maintaining crops of strawberries and potatoes, a farm garden, haying and firewood in the fall. The Cub and the super A were the most versatile small farm tractors ever built.
I have a cub 1948, only a trained eye such as yours could tell the difference between the two. I am being told to get rid of it. I don't know how to fix it but figure I can learn. Happy plowing!
You just proved that the older stuff is more versatile and efficient for a farm. Now I get it....FarmALL. When did we lose our minds to have 20 tractors to do just 1 job? Ms. Wanda, you have to take a bunch of pictures of Mr Danny with his tractor because they just go together like Peas & Carrots.
Watching you plow the sugar cane brought back so many childhood memories. I recall the cane being cut and processed under the shed, using the juice to cook down into molasses, with several families helping. All of us kids would be given a joint of cane to chew on and keep us out of the way. Hard work for the adults, but good times.
Good morning Mr. Danny!! Everything's looking good!! So happy that you have your CUB... Its must be a great feeling to have what you want!! Enjoy and stay safe while doing it. Love you and Ms. Wanda bunches!!💐❤💜🎣🌽🥔🍐🍍🥭🥕🍅🍏🚜
I pulled a many logs out for fire wood years ago with a farmall cub, very powerful low hp tractor. Just like you said Danny, the older tractors of our generation were the best for field and garden works. Thanks Danny for sharing the video of your beautifully restored Farmall Cub. ................................................Kenny&Miss Beverly
That tractor reminds me of my uncle, he used to be VP of Marketing for HI years ago when a fella from London purchased the company and he complained about having to fly overseas every year to give him a report on sales.
Howdy from Texas! Love to see what’s happening on the homestead! I’ve been learning how to can and make jam this summer and found your channel from the applesauce video! Been watching ever since, and enjoy your porch time talks. God bless and have a great day.
Old tractors are work horses I have a 1959 Ford 841 powermaster I have to rebuild the carb this weekend I was going to grade my road earlier this week turned the gas on and the carb started leaking bad most likely the float so I ordered the float and the rebuild kit. Hopefully I will have time to grade my road we had alot of flooding from the monsoons and alot of washouts in the road.
That's a great idea ! You could do that to corn when it's to tall to side dress if your rows are wide enough . I got a set of those for building raised beds on a tool bar I could use . Thanks for sharing !
Oh my goodness. When I was a little girl, we were renting a farm. The much older high school kids were smoking behind the barn and set it on fire. The owner lived across the street and she farmed the land. So while the barn was fully engulfed, my dad ran in the barn with the keys and rescued the lady's tractor. It was a farmall. I still remember it as if it were yesterday. Farming was the lady's income and she let us use about an acre to grow vegetables for our family. I think the tractor was bigger because it had blades that would go all across the back but it was a 1940s or 1950s model. Couldnt have been newer because I was born in 1953. Just love your channel. Reminds me of good times when growin up.
Nice tractor there! You just can't beat the vintage equipment! It was built with quality! I don't know if a belly disc plow would help but my father-in-law has one for his cub, I've never used it though
Danny, I already told you that my sainted maternal grandpa had a Farmall Cub and wore bib overalls. Riding on that groovy tractor, you remind me of him, except you're a LOT skinnier, a bit shorter (I was a tad under 6'6" in my youth) and have a pony tail. Also, he always wore a hard safari-type hat when doing farm chores. He had 30+ acres that is still in the family. He raised all the usual animals for food: chickens, rabbits, geese, pigs, 2 milk cows and a beef cow or two. He'd get up early, put on his overalls and rubber boots and go do the morning chores. Then he would come in the house, take off the overalls, eat the breakfast grandma made for him, put on a suit and tie, go down to the furniture store and sell furniture, come back home and reverse the process for the evening chores. He and grandma had 10 kids, my mom being #4. Part of why I love your YT channel so much is because of how much you remind me of him. He even had a pond, and my mom saved a little neighbor boys life who almost drowned in the pond. She swam out, brought him to shore, put him on the pond bank head downhill and gave him artificial respiration. Grandpa Irvin was gifted with a special genius for making ANY chore fun for the kids who were helping him. God bless you and Wanda for all you do to help educate people in the skills of self-sufficiency. You and I both know we're going to need those skills before the cultural crisis in America is over.
HE knew what HE was doing when HE preserved that tractor for you. He knows the end from the beginning, but I am sure HE enjoyed the anticipation as a part of the gift.
Hey y'all just goes to show that these older pieces of equipment were made with the thinking man in mind. That was perfect idea. Would work great as side dressing and hilling for potatoes or any other vegetable. Kinda like the first Ford cars needed few tools and the operator was able to do most all of the maintenance.
I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you redo the Farmall. My Papa had the same tractor and your gardening style is just like his was. Great memories. Thanks for reminding me!
you guys should inform us on the mass utilization of corn crops for our sugar/sweetening, and if the total land used is equatable to what would equally be used if we were planting healthier crops such as sugar cane etc.
Be careful tightening nuts, Danny. You'll be older when you need to loosen them! Ha! 6' chain with hooks, 1lb. hammer, 10" crescent are dedicated to my tractor. Hope you find the bits and pieces you need, they are out there somewhere. Stay safe. GOD BLESS GOD SPEED GOD WINS.
I have an Allis Chalmers B with cultivators and setup the same as you for laying down row covers in the spring. First I make the trench on both sides with the disc turned out. Then lay the cover down, turn the disc in and cover the edge. I find that the more I flatten out the disc to the travel there's a sweet spot where it turns the soil real well. I can send a rooster tail of dirt or a smidge of dirt. I also use them to hill corn and beans in a couple acres as well. I have them turned in so as to put dirt on the row to cover the in row weeds. Good job on the tractor restoration. Looks real good.
You should have someone weld a hollowed out hammerhead to the back of that adjustable wrench. Sometimes they peen over and prevent it from fully closing.
Wearing mechanics or leather gloves is really good working near stuff like that. Then, when you start applying force, look where your hand is going towards. Make sure it's a safe direction.
Sorry Danny I don't like the term plowing, more like you are cultivating, but I loved the way you set that up it worked really well and I love that tractor and the application
