Your little boy asked a lot of questions but that’s the way you learn by asking questions he seems like he is pretty smart too

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

he never stops he ask questions like that all day every day haha

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Andy I’ll take your word for whatever you say about those tractors like I said I don’t know anything about them and I see them on other KZbin channels and they use theirs just like you do

[@elt.214]

I’m glad Megan bought you your dream tractor Andy. 😂

[@lukedawg357SIG]

What a great collection I am trying to get my first tractor thanks for the video have a blessed week.

[@tammielawson6543]

Another great video! Loved the cat in it and jacob too. And yes you are so much like your papa😂

[@brendawoods554]

That's a fine collection of tractors, you haven't stopped smiling since you began showing them. Jacob is precious.

[@Soggybottomnz]

Love it! My grandfather had the Steam Engine Tractors ploughing their market gardens here in Nz!

As the old saying goes, never a dumb question especially at any age. Almost at 63, I'm still learning!😊

The first time I got to drive a Ford 8 N in the hay fields I was so stoked. I loved driving it. That was many years ago. Won't be long till both your children be fighting over who gets to drive what :) God Bless, Hugs, Rebekah,OHIO

[@Prepping_mimi]

I have been looking at kabotas. We are getting too old to be doing everything manually. After digging for 8 fruit trees the other day…. I’m convinced a tractor with a bucket/digger and any other attachments we need is the way to go. lol

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

honestly I dont see how someone can homestead without a tractor, They just make life so much easier and faster!

Loved this video❤ My dad was a mechanic. He worked for Sydenstriker John Deere for years before starting his own business. My oldest nephew learned how to be a mechanic working beside him. He now owns a business building engines for pulling tractors. We still have several JD tractors and our son has one IH he wants to restore. Memories came flooding back of watching dad tear one apart and put back together again❤

[@michellepainter7853]

Right. Just like a kid in a candy store. If you keep going you'll have to build another barn just to house all the tractors. Love you guys❤ God bless.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

we plan too!

[@zeke1eod]

Kubota is a tough tractor and so versatile. I grew up with Long, Fords, and John Deere, but I can't survive now without a front loader with quick attachments. Awesome collection. I'm extremely jealous 😂 Stay safe, and God bless

[@keithbrigman5179]

I have older ford tractors my wife refuses to use them because each one has its own set of quirks. Would like to get her a new kubota about the size you have. Maybe one day😊

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

oh trust me i know all about quirks! haha its nice every once in awhile to have something that doesn't have quirks!

[@keithbrigman5179]

I told my wife I wouldn’t know how to act if I didn’t have to work on everything before I could use it

[@edwhitmire2002]

When I grew up some of my uncle’s used John deers tractors 630 -530- and the old 210( they called them poppen tractors,all were tricycle front ends. My Granddaddy had Oliver Row Crops a 66 and a 77 they had the cultivars mounted in front of rear tire. We used the belt drive to pull wood table saw for firewood etc.another Uncle was A Case man. Lol

[@goatstead814]

Love that Kubota. I have a 1980 L3750 4wd with a loader. My dad bought it new in 1980 it has 2100 hours, the only breakdown I’ve had is a water pump. I’ve got 2 RTV’s and they are cold blooded but the 3750 is not, it’ll fire off even in the 20’s without preheating. I think what Meghan was alluding to is you need to find someone with a sawmill to make some lumber and build a tractor shed. 😂😂😂. Thanks for the tour, very nice collection. Have a great day.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

haha thats why we've been sawing so much lumber lately, I've got to have another tractor shed haha, yep my rtv is pretty cold natured as well

[@ccpirogue]

Great video, thanks for showing the tractors and telling the history and basic capabilities. Wouldn’t mind seeing another update later on.

[@brendabumgarner5278]

This was a hoot! I had a good laugh with this video. Instead of cows and horses in the barn, there is a load of tractors. But ya'll will put them to good use. This was fun. I liked watching you change the oil and such. I am picking up some good learning. Thanks again!

[@jerrylee690]

Andy, I was told about this man that not to far from us,maybe a hour, that has many of the old tractors and has restored them all. I was told the other day that the city was going to get this man a building to put his tractors for a museum. I will found out more about this guy and his tractors and get some pictures. He has been doing these tractors for a while. I will see and let you know.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

wow thats cool!

At least you don’t have to raise the tractor up to get to the oil filter and get the plug off too

I enjoyed the video. I noticed a 200 hour L245H like the one you just bought that just came up for sale for 10500 in Pilot Mountain the other day. I would love to have it but that is a crazy price.

Really enjoyed this video. Andy really enjoys his tractors. If ya'll ever get up to central Virginia about 15 miles south of Richmond in Colonial Heights you would really enjoy the Keystone Truck and Tractor Museum. It's right on the side of I-95 and they have a good restaurant inside. A lot of what ya'll do reminds me of what I grew up with at my grandparents' farm in the 50's.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

Never heard of that, we'll definitely have to check that out sometime, thank you

Hey buddy, I really love ya'lls channel but I just wanted to say that as far as filters go I always had really good luck with Wix filters or NAPA I get both from the same store. You can take it or leave it, I'm a 60 year old retired due to bad health farmer, trucker and I just hate to see money spent on overpriced filters.

[@Jtwes]

I would have jumped on that Kabota too. Nice tractor. I converted a John Deere Hopper off of a 1010 to run on the 140.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Just curious Andy. Did that tractor come from Pleasant View Ch. Rd. near Priddy's? I've seen one sitting under a barn shelter there for years. I think one reason Kubotas are so popular now is they have dealers everywhere. The nearest CaseIH dealer is in Union Grove. When you're busy working, the last thing you need to do is make a day trip to get a part. No one today builds a small row crop tractor so those offset Kubotas and Farmalls are still highly sought after. Let me know when the North View tractor show is! 😁

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

no it actually came from my great uncle clyde lawson, up off piney grove church rd

That 2610 is a good one. The larger John Deere is also a good tractor. Heck all of them are good. There is a lot of 140 around home but because the 4x4 compacts the price varies. I would be very happy with your collection.

Thanks so much!!

[@jvin248]

The Farmall 140 you can convert to a more conventional 3pt. And then some convert the 3pt to a skid steer quick attach bracket. Does the Kubota have draft control for plowing and Live-PTO? Those are two features on the 1955 Ferguson 35 I have (same that I grew up with that was bought new by the family) that make it a modern tractor. You can buy and repair an old tractor with the cash you might spend as the down payment on a new tractor and not have any more monthly loan payments to make.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

I have a three point hitch for my 140 but i dont like it, it had a live pto but not draft, its just a regular position control

[@kencornelius9584]

Andy, for what it's worth, Baldwin probably makes filters to fit all your tractors and, they're pretty close to Kubota orange. Also, an automotive paint supplier should be able to match whatever paint you need with a sample or, from their computer. Enjoyed the video.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

I've matched WIX filters up with some of them before, never thought about that with the paint, only thing would be the paint on the tractor is faded pretty bad so i dobt really have the correct color to match to

[@backwoodshomestead482]

Have a Kubota L3130 for 19 years. Never a problem, ever! So, a couple month’s ago, bought a MX6000 with cab. Reason? The L3130 had no loader. i wanted a loader. You always NEED another tractor. And the L3130 struggled a bit with skidding bigger logs for the mill. The cab sure makes it nice when it’s really cold or hot, or raining. I can at least be doing something. I probably tap out my outer air filter every 10 hours and change them out every 40-50 hours. You’re right, gotta keep clean air. Fuel too! Be nice if you did a fuel storage video for folks, as my dealer says thats 80 percent of repairs they do are fuel related.

Good evening. My husband is a big tractor man himself, and he enjoyed the video very much.

It’s just a small plug about a half inch take it out and that level was supposed to be. Why you forgot to tell you is on the old John Deere that was passed down from the family and we have a picture of him on the tractor with his grandpa when he was probably about a year and a half to two years old. He restored that tractor and the smaller Kabota. He’s restoring now.he enjoyed your video very much. He dictated part of this and him being a man at all he forgot to put in all the nice cities. He just got the meat and potatoes. Thank you for another enjoyable video.
