Bob Brown is probably my favorite person on earth that I’ve never met. He’s a great representative of all of the things and ideals that make America great.
This podcast is something you will always reflect back on later in life. Love bob he his great Sounds like he was a stern man to live with but brought years of knowledge Thanks again. From south Louisiana.
Thanks Brian. Brings back memories of my Dad in that era. Your Dad is an amazing individual. I so enjoy his determined attitude in every video you post. Not many left in this country like him.
Priceless. Bob and his working words. I grew up in the same time. Some experience were so close to mine. Great history. The great grandkids will love this. Better than pitchers. I never got this interaction from my grand parents
Your dad reminds me so much of my grandfather. Hes just so real and says it the way people really talk. He doesn't fall into the trap of acting political correct. Your videos are great. Thanks Brian and Bob from fellow ohio small farmer
Fantastic It took a while for me to circle around to listen to the podcast but very much worth it Thanks for opening up your life for our listening pleasure
Maybe one of the coolest episodes yet. I love to hear stories told by the older generation. Can't wait to see The George tell his story too! 3,5 hours just flew by in a hurry..👍
I been waiting for this! I giggled when Bob had you guess on how big of a moldboard the Ferguson would pull. Brain you showed how times have changed when you said shank instead of bottom. I remember as a kid pulling a 6 bottom semi mount with a turned up 4440. We still use moldboards but they are 8 bottom onland switch plows.
This history is fun to listen to. Brings back good memories. I remember when the articulated 4wd tractors were coming out. Everyone said you couldn't turn them around.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Brian this is something you can cherish forever. I wish I had such a tape of my dad and my grandpa like you now have of your dad. So much information they have to share, so many of us never take the time to retrieve it.
Growing up in the Frankfort, OH area I always heard stories about some of the tools your Dad built from scratch. Great stories of how he put them together and told in a real way. I actually had a random stranger I met in TN ask me if I knew you after finding out that we lived in Chillicothe a few years ago. You guys make Ross County proud!
My grandpa bought a walk behind tractor after WW2. Well my dad's had it for years just sitting around. So I went over last week and got the chisel plow so I can rebuild it. I was thinking it would be a pain to get those old bolts out that haven't been moved in at least 40 years. Surprisingly I had no issues with them it was the cotter pins breaking.
That was great! Best insight into your history yet! Your dad has one good memory. Those stories are priceless. I'm glad you have that on tape for future generations and just to watch every now and then!❤️🚜
Interesting to hear your dad talk about the old corn pickers. My grandpa lost his leg from the calf down in a plugged up picker in 1959. We lost him in 2019. Hell of a guy.
We've still got my great grandpa's TO-30... with an Oliver torsion seat even. Still use it for raking hay and spraying fencelines. Always great to hear old stories
I sat down with my Grandfather many times to talk about how he started farming and the stories of the equipment he liked and didn't like and it never got old. The podcast was long but very entertaining, thanks for sharing
Love hearing these old stories. my grandad was born in 1912 and my dad in 1954. My grandad still plowed with mules in the 50s in northwest Kansas. Most of his crops went to feed his cows for his butcher shop.
Great video! Really enjoyed it! Wish others would do the same! I related to a lot of what Bob had to say, sorry I'll miss you all at Kentucky, I'll be there Friday, thanks for the video, Art!
Brian your dad mentioned some old super 8 movies that he never had converted over. Please try and find all those and get them converted. That would make an awesome video . Last year I had all of our 80’ s and 90’s videos converted over to dvd. This past Christmas we all sat around with tears in our eyes watching them . What a memory . I really enjoyed this Brian . We are from Ohio so listening to your dad talk was a walk down memory lane . Thanks for this .
We had some reel to reel videos of the farm and family get together from 75 to 80 put on dvd. Awesome memories for our family to have and us growing up onscreen!
I enjoyed the car comments and history of them the most. The whole segment was very interesting and could remember a lot of what was said myself being 5 years younger than Bob.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Brian, your comments on how college didn’t relate to real life is unfortunately true in most professions. The MBAs we hired through the years were the worst hires. They didn’t know their academic credentials made them hard to train. We had better luck with kids with community college degrees that farmed, or trades, or family businesses that knew what a hard days work was.
Brian, absolutely love this! Only 40 minutes in and will have to come back later! Bob, I was born in 62 and we had a 77 olie and dad had a mounted picker for it 2. 1st tractor i drove was a 770 gas. Bringing back memories!
I need to do something like this with my dad too. Thank you. Great to hear these stories. We still have one of the original engine powered Allis Chalmers 66 my great grandpa bought brand new. Still runs and works like it should. Takes up way too much room in the barn. Lol. Our farm was paid for with clover seed. Grandpa talked about the seed buyer coming in a air plane and landing north of the bank barn on one of the few flat spots on our 80 acres. He'd stay here at the farm a few days and fly to the next farm. A few days later trucks would show up and haul out all the bags of clover seed. 🤷. What a different time!! 🙂
That was absolutely awesome to watch on my 80"tv,loved listening about the old equipment and how farming has evolved in a short amount of time thanks Bob and Brian for sharing it,my wife even liked it!!
Robert is awesome. The great thing about farming is surviving all the stupid things we do. Brian, cherish these days working with your dad. Hardly a day goes by that I don’t miss mine.
Thank you Bob for doing this podcast (and the cameras). ❤️ Been a subscriber to Brians channel for more than 3 years now, and it has become like a ”youtube family member” at this point. It’s always fun to see new ”fancy” equipment rundning in the fields, but in the end, the only thing that’s important are all of you. Best wishes from a subscriber from Sweden. 🇸🇪👍
Love listening to the older generation talking about the old days. I was born in 68 and I started helping my grandparents dairy farm 5-6 years old feeding the cows while they were getting milked. Then at 6 yrs old started driving tractor for bailing hay. I thought I was the coolest kid.
Bob thsnk you sincerely for doing this! Brought back so many memories of my dad who farmed his whole life. He passed 20 years ago and I so wish I had his stories recorded. This interview revived so many of those stories he shared and I, once again, can't say Thank You enogh.
Thank you Bob and Brian I think this was the best video to date, I love all of yalls videos but to hear the family history is so important for today's generations to hear and see thank you again.
That's one thing I love about U tube, I have seen and talked with folks from all over the world, Imagine a little guy from Ma. talking farming with dudes from England, Ireland, Australia, Austria... I never would have.
This is greatness. My son loves tractors and when he gets older this will be a history lesson taught out of school by your Pops for sure. Very nice work Brian and thank you for the content Sir.
Very cool to hear these stories! All of the steps that it took to build the impressive operation you have now. It doesn’t happen overnight. My dad is the same age as Bob and has a lot of similar stories from the early days when he started farming.
Great podcast Brian! Your dad has a great memory. I truly enjoyed listening to your farms history. God bless you and your family. Hope you guys have a great planting season
Great video id love a video of how to start a first generation cash crop farm i think a lot of people would find that interesting and how to keep track of the charts
Fantastic Video Brian and Bob! I love hearing old timers talk about the past. The dairy farm I help out on runs alot of older IH equipment. I will have to check out your other podcasts. Thank you for including this on RU-vid!
What a great video. Your dad is book of knowledge. Hard working and thinks outside the box to fix or invent a solution. He is very successful and modest. He loves what he is doing and wants to leave a legacy to his two boys which is very admirable . Your a fortunate son to have a mentor like that and who is calm cool and collect
My grandad was the first Ferguson dealer in Fayette county. Dad went to the factory in Detroit at the age of 16 to be the mechanic. He always said they were much better than a Ford because of the Continental engine
LOL, love the stories about your mom's pets! We are city folk but it sounds like our life. To make matters worse for us, my father-in-law had a pet store and my wife worked there. We now have a bigger property and have chickens. I can see the fight starting when they stop laying and become sandwiches.
Hi Brian. Weird coincidence. I had just finished watching your dad give the farm tractor and combine history from 4 years ago when you released this video!!!!!!
Awesome video Bob and Brian. I am 2 years younger than your dad Brian. As he was talking about all the old stuff I was remembering my life. Milking cow's at 7 or 8, driving the tractor on my dad's custom baling operation in the 60's. Running a pull type combine first and then a self propelled one later on during my upper grade school days. Many wonderful memories and times that today's children can't and wouldn't participate in. I worked with my Dad for over 40 years and really miss it and him. He's been gone since April of 1994.
I still have my grandpa's original '52 TO30 tractor. I plowed many acres in the early 70's with a 2 bottom plow behind it, raked hundreds of acres of hay and pulled many, many loads of hay and cob corn with it.
Boy its nice yr pop has a wealth of farm knowlege to learn on ealy farming equipment im digging yr pop is a Chevy car buff too be safe Brown farms best farm chanel on the TUBE
congratulations men, lots of hard work and great memories. give yuorselves a big pat on the back. thankyou for the great experience. will always watch yor videos!!!!
