A Cow Feeding Adventure

[@JH-qi7fz]

Actually love this episode. Reminds me of several farms I sell hay to. Too bad the barn is so rough, looks like it was quite the place in its day.

[@Steventhedieseltechapprentice]

The four empty cans of ether had me laughing. Thanks for another video!

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Thanks for watching

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Looks like a well used old White. Definitely would be a good one to save. I seen a couple Gleaner Combines on the way to get the bale. Those were good old machines. Most of the time the chore Tractor always started, might not have looked good. Looks like uncle is more of a hop it and run it guy, none of that fancy maintenance stuff. Thanks for the videos

[@RS-sl5ko]

Looks like the tractor and the farm both need a little love.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Lol... this reminds me of the later years at the farm I grew up on. Unfortunately, towards the end, money gets tight you know how it goes. Maintenance takes a backseat. The year before the dairy cows were sold was just like this..messing with dead batteries and more time spent monkeying around to do a simple task. It's what makes me appreciate good maintenance with my own stuff today

[@Adam_Poirier]

Adding to this comment.. I would go up to spread a load of manure after work. There would be a jump pack, actually hanging from a ratchet strap tied to the frame of one of the 1800s like it was permanently installed to the tractor instead of just getting batteries lol. Those were the days

[@joshk.6246]

Yeah its rough and sad when money is that tight. Usually then folks start getting really depressed because they can't keep things going the way they were and it can speed up the process. Makes a guy really appreciate the blessings he has.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Josh, yes agreed

[@junkacres2637]

Sometimes the worst part about being a diesel mechanic by trade and hobby farmer by night and help a lot of other people out you get to see just how bad some equipment gets used

[@BrettColburn-d1i]

I was screaming the entire time you were trying to put it in gear to release the park brake! I figured the worlds foremost Oliver and White expert would know that.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

For one I’d never driven one up to that point. Second who said I was the foremost Oliver and White expert? You wanna be a jackass go do it somewhere else.

[@bobsmith1814]

At least the three point hitch works. It makes you appreciate your own tractors.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

I was wondering for a minute.

[@dalecoffing8655]

You are correct. 2-155's were good tractors.We had 2 of them. Too bad it looks like that. You are doing the right thing kiddo. Funny that all of us who grew up on the farm had a neighbor just like this.

[@rustyrelicsfarm2406]

The sound of the reverse is like nails on a chalkboard.

[@mrbill4187]

I can't remember the last time I put batteries in my feeder tractor and skid loader, when ya run them every day they tend to last a long time but when there junk there dam well worth replacing😆 My dad was the same way as your uncle, fed cows with a 170 allis and it had a rag in the oil fill port, vice grips on the throttle, milker inflation over the shift lever😆. He was a cow man but not much for equipment maintenance.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

That’s the way it usually goes.

[@cliffcarden3411]

LoL been there looks like my neighbors tractor cab empty either cans and battery charger all ready to go LoL 😂😂

[@mathiggins4264]

that tractor needs little love and care be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska

[@johngreasamar7730]

Taking care of family can be tuff. But you did it and made a great and enjoyable vidio of it.

[@michaelsheeder148]

Wow you're right that is an adventure. Too bad he's letting a tractor just fall apart in front of his eyes. I take it he is going to buy a different tractor when it breaks down, or plan B he's hoping it'll keep running until he retires from farming. Thanks Michael

[@ethanhenley9347]

Wow! I can relate to that experience exactly! You had me laughing the whole time. After l stopped milking cows there was a guy in the next town over who lasted almost another 10 years. He had a free stall barn built for 60 cows back in the 70's and manged pile 130 milkers in it by the end. Cows were layed on the floor in the feed bunk etc. He'd call me to help when he got in a bind and of course you wanna feel bad. It was always an endless fuck around, one hassle right after the other. A few times l lost my shit and had to walk away. I used to tell him l could spend the day in a third world country and sleep in my own bed at.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Dairy guys are good for that.

[@joshk.6246]

WTF, that fella definitely wasn't going for cow comfort.

[@russellhansen7622]

Holy shit Ethan, what a deal working with that equipment. You are a good nephew!

[@farmallchris]

Lol it did the job can pick your nose but not your family . On a good note dad came to the rescue it’s great to have a good dad

[@brianbrock4946]

my dad always would say when a tractor was in that shape and owned by someone like that but still worked he said "that tractor is a good one it just wants to work" lol there is some guys around here like that

[@bosseliminator]

We had a 2-155 2wd and the steering on all of them were funky with not many hours. I can’t recall what the design flaw was.

[@doublebfarms2313]

Great video, don't worry, we all have those days. Speaking of one of those days, I am watching this waiting for a goat to have the last of her babies.

[@MikeTidman]

But is it your uncle's goat?

[@doublebfarms2313]

@Mike Tidman Actually, no, but the goat was my highlight of my day. High school went terrible today, almost got in a crash, my tractor blew a tranmission seal, and my work got bought out.

A flashlight is meant to hold dead batteries, just as a cab is a place for empty cans of either! 😅

This video was offensive to watch. 😂 White has got to be one of my favorite tractors, and seeing this one hurt so much, and you talking smack hurt even more- Lol! Hope your uncle puts a little effort into her soon!

[@bncakitas576]

Don't hold back Ethan , tell us what you really think. Ha Ha

[@leanncarpenter9138]

He definitely wasn’t raised this way. I promise Grandpa Brewer was watching you and grateful you helped your Uncle while he has medical issues! I am grateful you are not like him. I love him, but he makes me shake my head. At least you were able to feed the cows and make an entertaining video

[@frankwurth5375]

I wonder if the shift linkage is off enough that the gears are not all the way engaged and it's dragging on another gear a bit?

Sometimes ya just gotta laugh and keep moving. 😂

[@brettlamont4965]

Spent a lot of time in a 2-155. Sad to see one like that. But I agree with you one of the best built. I take your uncle doesn’t watch utube??

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Doubt it.

[@newyorkfarmer146]

watching this as you were trying to put it in gear, I'm yelling at my computer "try the lever next to the shifter" like an idiot ...hahaha no hate at all just force of habit with ours ,grew up with a white 2-135 that i bought when the farm sold ...we had ratty whites for years somehow made 2,200 round bales a year with that and 2-105 good tractors, but maintenance is key. cool video to first ive seen you mess with whites and cow ,and stuff I've fought my whole life doing trying to feed cows with whites when its cold

[@KevinSmith-fl5fm]

I just bought it’s twin! Just as bad but we will get it shined up sometime

[@realmongo7565]

It's kind of funny your next video had that tractor in an as-new promotional video.

[@scottjaecques7409]

Tooth off of ring gear will make that noise and the 135 and 155 would break tooth sometimes not sure why because same rearend as 2-180

[@BillyBBecker]

This old beat up tractor, makes for a funny video!!!

[@aaronjarvenpa1743]

Looks like your uncle needs to do some major maintenance on his equipment .

[@cobo3066]

I feel your pain. That’s about how it was when I would go do stuff for my uncle. Always more of a fight than it should’ve been. What’s the story on the 4-150 at your uncles? Doesn’t look like it’s been used it awhile.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

Wow, he obviously doesn't take very good care of his equipment as you do. Lol. He's lucky he is family, lol.

[@kennyz6533]

Poor thing sounds terrible in reverse. Going from looking at your mechanically pristine tractors to this one is something to see. I’d think that thing in good shape would make a beast of a tillage tractor with that big ole Hercules. I’ve heard they lug well. Cool video as always. Can’t get any more real than this channel.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Oh it will pull like a freight train.

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

Do you know what model Gleaner combines those are? Not that they're anything worth saving, but I was kinda curious what they were. It's sad to see people treat equipment this way. I've had to operate some just as bad myself. "Oh lets work it until it self destructs and then spend tons of money fixing what started out as a small problem." Ya just can't fix stupid.

Seems like that is the way it goes batteries are always dead when you want to move something what is up with the old 4x4 white you see in the background of the vid. Is it a 4-180?

[@joshk.6246]

God damn that is fancy as fck, automatic door on it. Yeah ive dealt with similar or worse and ive also dealt with waaay better. But hey what is family for but to keep us guessing and stressed 😆. I'm glad you are a good nephew and didn't say piss on it because of the difficulties and still helped him out.

I should have just went and got the T but I didn’t want it covered in wet cow shit.

Funny enough I just watched a vid of you bailing for your uncle from more than a year ago when you said your uncle was phasing out of the cattle. Looks like the same number are still there. That 4wd was also sitting in the same spot. What's the story on it?

I thought you were at my father in law and brother in law's place Farm Boy!!

[@jefffirefighter12106]

A few years ago, I helped my wife's uncle plant soybeans in New Troy Mi. while he was in the Army reserve. The engine oil was just touching the dip stick. Ther wasn't any hydraulic oil in the tractor & the air filter was so plugged I couldn't get any air through it with the air hose. 1 good thing though was it had 2 new batteries in it. I believe as long as it started it was good to go. That fall I helped them pick corn, they put homemade bin extinctions on the combine. I was riding with him on the combine and about 3/4 of the way down the field and the bin was running over, he asked me if I thought we could make it to the end of the field, I just looked at him and said it's already running over might as well keep going, it didn't even bother him. They have/had all sorts of tractors in the woods fence lines that were Junk from proper Maintenace.

[@joshk.6246]

Oof, gurts my brain thinking about that, put in the effort and then not care if it was running over.... 😵‍💫

[@richardharris7714]

[@earldoubet8062]

I was trying to tell you the brake was on lol . But you didn't here me , I bet that was a nice tractor years ago ,it's a shame people don't take care of equipment but don't look like there's no place to put it inside. What a waste. From turkey creek farms be safe n thankful

My cousin has a 2-155 and I’ve driven it a time or two. Got it from a junkyard and from what he has told me all he ever did was take the head off to have the manifold surface resurfaced and put a different manifold because the other one was cracked or something I think. It’s a pretty solid tractor and I kinda like driving it. Sounds mean too. And also those old farmers with the messy farms and all the tractors and implements laying around have the best farms to explore and buy projects and old stuff from imo lol.

I'm sorry to say, but from the state of Your Uncles equipment. Your Uncle would be better to rent out his land and sell the cattle. If you had to spend this much time getting the tractor to move he can't be that efficient. I've know a lot of old timer farmers that just can't give it up and end up old and broken.
