I started driving tractors on my mates farm helping out and they was ford 40000 and 4600 and then the bigger ones good old reliable tractors and work houses

I still have the MF 1085 we got new in 1976

Was just about to write it but you beat me to it (6:42). When calves let that hi pitch yell all the cows get alerted especially mum! Keep safe!

Good job on your fence but you really should you have a fence strecher

Hard ass worker 👍 great job to see all that and that you’re able to get stuff for the farm to help it grow and work out for you and your family ! Hopefully you can keep that fence line mowed now ! When it dries out for ya 👍

Nice fence upgrade. Too bad you can’t reroute around that wet spot. It will give you trouble in the future. Good buy on the auger and brush hog. Fencing tools will pay for themselves.

I’m from Texas and we could take some of that rain from you and trade the heat and sun for a week.

Good luck planting your corn 🌽

Great video

Pretty ingenious problem-solving getting yourself unstuck there! Impressive! Hopefully your loving farm wife had a nice roast beef and potatoes supper waiting for you after all of that! 😉

Invest in a 4 wheel drive tractor ! Plus the idea the other guy said put the forks on rear for weight 👍 your doing a great job !!! Keep it up love watching videos

Good job getting that tractor out. Wet ground sure makes haying tough. Wet tires are always a bad sign but the sun and wind help a lot once you knock the hay down. We had to leave wet sections standing this year and go back to mow them at the end of July.

You should put the forks in the rear trepoint... then you have the baler weight on rear wheel... alternative twin tires... Just a tip from a small farmer...

Cow will eat anything 😊 hearing protection not bad idea !’

The mound system is the most stupid idea ever. Some college educated little puke said this will work better. I've heard of mound systems freezing up because they're not below the frost line. Last thing I heard we get hard frost here in Minnesota.

Might consider seeding pasture mix with bin-run oats as a cover. The oats will be up in weeks and provide prime summer grazing while shielding the pasture grass for next year.

Where is your hearing protection when driving open tractors?

I would be afraid that the cows will spread it out throughout all your fields. You may have it everywhere next year.

Be sure compost the waste left over at the feed site for a year before you spread that manure.

Good idea. We find it occasionally when we work up old fields and I think it’s seed left over in the ground from previous years and it sprouts when conditions are right. We battle it mechanically and feed it rather than burn it.

Keep up the great videos. Really enjoy watching them and that you involve your family also. Keep them going.

how many acres do you farm???

Good luck baling your hay

Nice looking hay bales

Great job raking your hay

Nice looking ford tractors

Good luck raking your hay

Great video

Do you have to disengage PTO to dump bale?

Need to remove the logo

As thin as that hay is you could roll three or four of your windrows together, lot less weaving with the baler then.

As an old farmer that raised a lot of hay I would say to roll 2 or 3 of those windrows together

That’s a very nice little Ford. Perfect for raking. We still haven’t had three dry days to allow us to start baling.

Another great video. I can sit on a tractor all day and not get bored.

That’s a lot of mower for your Ford, but a much better choice than a haybine for getting through your hay. I run the impeller version for additional drying up here by moody Lake Superior.

I from the uk. Here are pto shaft covers don't rotate for health & safety. My question is in America, are pto covers aloud to rotate freelay? Keep organic farming!

Dont forget to help maintain the pasture by sweeting the ground every other year with fert

I Think your old FORD needs some TLC then it will start better . My old Ford is starting on the key . Regards from germany

Cut that green stuff and bring to your pigs . The pigs love that to eat i tell you . Regards from germany .

I added pigs to our farm this year as well! I ended up with 10 and I think they are all spoken for already.

My wife and I hand dug post holes for our entire 60 plus cross fencing and it didn’t kill us…in ground just like yours. We installed three strand high tensile electric fencing in 1987 that’s standing today. Rebuilt corners a few times. Welded up a wire unroller and post pusher for the skid steer bucket when we added pasture in 2021. Nice upgrade.

Good looking ford tractors.

I had no idea ford made a tractor

Really enjoy your videos. Your channel is a much more accurate depiction of what a young farm family looks like compared to all the channels that have millions of dollars in green equipment around . I look forward to seeing more of your videos

Good to see that you got the corn all planted. I used to plant with the same tractor. I've found that doing the final pass of tillage before planting at a slight angle helps in seeing the marker track. Now on to making hay.

Put some new colter blades on it. Those are plum wore out!

Tractors are no place for kids to be unless they have a seat. I grew up on the farm and the one big rule was NO RDIERS. Think for just one second what would happen if that child started to wiggle and fell.

I spent many hours on the fender as a kid of a 1080 Massey pulling 880 Massey 5x18 plows in heavy clay soil in the hills of Pennsylvania, 18.4x34 tires loaded and some weights up front. Your tractor was not working near as hard, maybe you could find a big 4 bottom or smaller 5 bottom? Great video

Looks great!

Takes me back sitting in my dads David Brown 1212 ploughing with him. He had a 3 furrow plough aswell. Can remember him saying about keeping the wee wheal straight in the rut.
