1950s Ferguson and grain drill still going strong

[@contentment164]

Tractor is in great shape! Good to see a video of yours and to catch up! Bless you and Darlene.

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

Hope y'all are doing good , would love to see how the shed house turned out saw the corner in the well drilling video

[@AaricHale]

You know the tractors there making now wont last as long as what those tractors have . They made stuff right back then . It's real nice setup you got there !

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

It's the electronics that will do the newer stuff in and the cost of repair . I see a lot of machines junked that could be fixed over the expense or because it's an computer problem the dealer can't figure out

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Oh man that's a sexy grain drill! I'm envious! Thanks for sharing!

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

I'm lucky to have it small ones like it that don't need hydraulics are expensive down here and that ones in perfect shape

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

@@HomesteadingtheHardWay Sure is! Looked practically new!

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

@@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork don't think it had ever been rained on !

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

Looks like it barely saw daylight! Give it a glimpse of sun once in while will ya'? lol

[@ketchhomesteadoutdoors4048]

Looks like they ol grain drill sure comes in handy

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

I'm lucky to have it , they're scarce here !

[@ketchhomesteadoutdoors4048]

Homesteading the Hard Way Not sure how they are here in Missouri it I’m gonna be on the lookout for one.

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

@@ketchhomesteadoutdoors4048 what makes that one rare is the manual lift , if you have remotes on your tractor one can be had fairly reasonable

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

You can tell that Ferguson and drill have been well cared for.

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

I've kept them up no doubt

[@ourselfreliantlife]

Beautiful machine! They probably don't make them that sturdy anymore.

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

I think about that some , you just gave me today's video idea !! Many thanks

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

Super cool! It looks so beautiful there! Is it still hot??

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

At times but its cooling off ,low 90s most days

[@WelcometoChickenlandia]

It takes me about 17 minutes to open one of those bags hahaha

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

When your filling that thing up you cut the side of the bag open with a pocket knife that's a lot faster lol

[@lazypondfarm]

New sub here from Facebook. Congrats by the way! I prefer the older tractors to the new!

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

Thank you . I like them better myself , a lot to be said for a machine that is still working well after 65 years I doubt much new equipment will be running in 2084 !

[@LittleJordanFarm]

Great set up Chris. I've been thinking of sowing rye as a cover crop in my garden any options on that? Blessings to y'all

[@HomesteadingtheHardWay]

I sow some for a cover crop most of the time , remember it doesn't have to be to thick . Hope y'all are doing good .
