Barn Demolition!

[@jeffeverhart6746]

Thanks for having your dad on the video it is a real treat for us

[@eddiewethington1224]

Great videos enjoy watching farm folks. Sure was some beautiful wood in that old barn. I bet ya could’ve sold it. Lotsa folks using it for home decor nowadays. Keep if the good work and THANK YOU. Farmers are the backbone of this great country.

[@chivic89]

Tim, we would love to see more of those old videos if you wanted to share them! Seeing the barn and everyone 22 years ago was bittersweet.

[@rustcameron1]

I love this video! how amazing to see Katreal as a young child! What amazing memories! Thank you!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@theart9163]

The memories of those who built and lived that barn daily... Time marches on.

[@peterkober6758]

Tim and Family it's so good to see people working together and getting the job done God Bless All PaK

[@tomoaktree4951]

Hi Tim, Sad to see old barns come down! There is nothing like old movies! I'm thinking that you might have several people that would want some of the old barn boards.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We asked. Folks would say in comments that they wanted them, then, when they found out where they were, interest dried up.

[@timothygunckel7162]

You hate to see the old things go, but sometimes it's for the best. God Bless

[@BigGary79]

It's always sad to see an old barn come down, but it was time. Thanks for sharing the video from 98 so we could see it standing strong.

[@Itsa_Mea]

The old footage was neat. You wonder in the last 22 years how many generations of ground hogs went through there.

[@hammerglock42]

Nice to watch the old clips of the barn when it was in better condition thanks for sharing.

[@jeremydavis2595]

Omg I love the old footage from 98. I grew up in a turn of the century farmhouse in the 90s with all original barns on the property. Their is no smell like an old barn. I love buildings from that era and the older generation who worked in them during their glory days. I tried absorbing as much of the older generations' wisdom and knowledge as much as I could, because once all the old timers are gone many of their skills will be a lost art.

[@timraber6575]

I loved the old video. Randell looked like he was ready to work back in the day. Old barns just cry out to me. There is several in my area that are just so sad. Ether they need to come down and be repurposed or repaired. It’s cheaper to bring them down as repair. And old barns are so dangerous. Twenty five years ago, I helped hang tobacco in several barns. I wouldn’t even try that now. I would just as soon be the ground man. Thanks for posting this video.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Tim, Christy & Family. That was good. Enjoy ed the vintage video footage of Y'all back in 98. Now you can push it up in a big pile and light it up on a calm day. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@DanielTorres-hu1zq]

Thanks for sharing more video from one of America's finest families. We need to see such scenes now more than ever. Katriel has definitely grown some since 1998.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the very much for the kind words.

[@georgecostanza9387]

22 years seems like a long time until you see pictures or videos. Then it seems like just last year or a few years back

[@rogerbelanger295]

Thank you for sharing your family. The old video brings a charm to the new ones.

[@ranger6x660]

Around these parts we would call the local Fire Dept. and see if they would want to practice on that old barn. They would call several area departments and make a day of it. In the end you would have a pile of ash and some cement blocks.

[@jeffreid3341]

As a contractor I can tell you you guys are lucky you didn't get any punctured tired. I always use tracked equipment for demolition jobs. Keep up the good content.

[@steventhomson2042]

Great video! Really liked the older video of everyone younger, especially Ray, Randall and Katriel. Priceless!

[@JeremyTVOK]

Hey, cool video, Tim! Those types of projects can be a lot of fun. It was neat seeing your old home video too. It’s something how fast time passes. Warms the heart and makes you sad, all at the same time.

[@hc7190]

So sad to see a piece of history gone , but what can you do . My grandfathers old barn was torn down , it was a sad moment for me to see it gone .

[@rkwill100]

a very sad situation. Just think what a difference some regular maintenance would have made.

[@michaelbrown8244]

I love demolition and clean up jobs but sure are cosmetically hard on equipment but sure is fun!

[@gregembrey2947]

Love to listen to your dad,you can learn a lot from the elders if you will take the time to talk to them.

[@stephendixon4619]

I've loaded my grandfathers barn with a trolley like that. I know it was designed for loose hay, but we loaded bales with it. It was amazing to see all those bales hung together on the hooks.

[@HuserHelpers]

Tim, Really great seeing the clean-up progress. Would like to see more videos of the rest of the clean up progress. I'm sure you'd like to see additional production out of your land, but the biggest part is no longer farming around that old homestead. From your batwing video of this place, it appears to be a good size bit of land. And for your comment on the weather, this is typically the time of year I always loved doing this. You are moving enough to keep yourself warm, and don't have to worry about wasp or bees.

[@HuserHelpers]

Also, a great way to do something fun, and practice social distancing.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I'm guessing a couple of acres total. ...but we still won't farm all of it. We need space to get around the grain bin. We'll have another episode next week or maybe a bit later of the rest of the cleanup we've done there.

[@zachm8765]

That shows a disadvantage of the top mounted cylinders on the grapple. Some are mounted on the back offering more protection.

[@anthonychavis4728]

Good times anytime you can spend time with your father and his wisdom when he’s gone he’ll still be telling you how to do it the right way just wait and see and you’ll laugh about it more love all your videos and yes I bought a JD 2305 because of your channel and I just love it playing on 1 acre good times

[@bobpurs]

Cool seeing the old video. Sad to see them old barns go down .

[@mikefortune4796]

Hi Tim and Christy very nice video it was lovely to see the old barn when it was a barn take care and stay safe

[@daves2960]

Another great family video! That old barn wood makes for some beautiful room paneling in a house. Especially nice with it has meaning and known origin.

[@rtball7752]

Love the words of truth from Matthew at the end, needs to be shown on national TV. Thanks for the good content Tim

[@shadowsiren3058]

One turbo tip with tractors 2038 and up. When working in heavy situations. After done working wait for the turbo to cool down and avoid thermal shock this will increase your longevity of your tractor.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Another good video guys thank you. You should definitely be recommended more than some of these big Golden Boy channels. Glad I hit the Bell recently. Also enjoy the look back of the old days with the video, my how time flies doesn't it? Thanks again, take care

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Kapper. Who knows? We're thankful for what we have. We really appreciate you starting to watch again and comment. Happy to have you onboard. I have no idea how you produce and publish so many episodes on your channel! Christy and I together can hardly keep up with the rate we are producing. Maybe I'm just lazy!?

[@kapperoutdoors]

@@TractorTimewithTim LOL no you are not lazy it's because that's pretty much all I do is videos LOL

[@ultramagaman4304]

I put that old rusty roof steel on my vaulted ceiling with huge timber collar ties. With the same barn posts made the stair railing with glass panels. Looks amazing.

[@alanhayes3156]

Love to see your Dad in these videos. The kitchen came out the front door. Lol

[@kyootfox]

Personally I would use chainsaws to weaken the remaining support posts then pull by tractor. Or work with the local fire-fighters and see if a controlled burn makes sense.

[@lysol4852]

Looks like an excellent way to get a flat tire and a dented grill on the tractor using the grapple:) Where there is a will, there is a way. Looks like it all worked out with a little fun too.

[@johneaton6050]

There used to be an outfit in New England that bought old barns. To refurbish the lumber to build custom new homes with or used certain pieces in the project. Evidently there are some folks who like the old post and peg system. And highlighted the pieces throughout the home without covering it all up with wallboard.

[@technician172]

John Eaton East Coast Barn Builders. I rented from the Cadys for twelve years. The barn I lived in was originally built in 1812.

[@packo8888]

Nice old video... You look like your dad looked in that Video... Nice to see the whole crew from the past.

[@sap3055]

Really lovely to see the film from 1998 time really flayes away

[@benjaminstockton3917]

Old barns are cool thanks Tim

[@scott2426]

Man that old barn wood is cool, hope you keep some to repurpose! Great video as always

[@Zanderthelab]

Oh my gosh Katriel was so little. She sure was a vocal one. Lol❤️ the kid at the end of the video sounded like me when I had a thick southern drawl as a young lad.

[@jasone9]

Would have loved to see the "2 tractors and a chain" method.i dont know if it would've worked, but if it did...

[@martineastburn3679]

Hope some of the beams in the old barn are made to make a open shed to park tractors or storage of implements. Lots of steel and big beams.

[@zach_hewitt]

Cool video Tim & Family! I think that is the first time I've seen Randall in something besides overalls....

[@zach_hewitt]

Ha, just caught that Randall pointed out the groundhog holes twice.

[@jddriver9565]

wow it was funny to see you all 22 years ago...and it was amazing too see that your dad was wearing almost the same pioneer cap that he wears today.that´s pride! (i hope that sentence makes sense...as you may know english is not my first languague)^^

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, Dad sold Pioneer seed for 40+ years. His dad worked for Pioneer as a District Sales Manager.

[@jddriver9565]

@@TractorTimewithTim ahh right....you already talked about it ealier...but i did forget it.😅

[@nealtubbs9608]

That was cool the way it just came down with the backhoe. I can see you've been a videographer for quite some time. It was fun watching the old video. It sounded like Katriel liked talking at a young age. Lol You're a braver man than me. When I saw the tractor pushing I was thinking of flat tires from the nails in the boards. I'm glad you stopped using it as I also was thinking of something coming down the wrong way and falling on you.

Great video anything around farming and family

[@bradcoddington1679]

Thats my favorite bible verse Tim . We got a couple of barns with hay trolleys in them waiting for one of the barns roof to finish falling down so I can retrieve the one trolley and in the other barn I need a really tall ladder to get to the other trolley

[@michaelsa892]

Great video Tim loved the old footage

[@badandy2893]

Some people are looking for rusty tin and barn wood. you could save a few pieces and make a picture frame with a pic of the old barn or something. I’ve made rustic head boards for beds as well.

[@bradcoddington1679]

Im in the process of doing that now with some barn wood from one of our barns that's falling down. Making a picture frame for a picture of my wife with her late father and one of their case 930s

[@neolightproductions]

You can get some real good money for old barn wood.

[@randalmiddleton8068]

Cool vid... keep some barn siding for the office in your pole barn.

[@kebo57]

If it were mine, I would have tried to reclaim as much of the good wood as I could have. That stuff brings GOOD money for people who like to renovate houses and use the old barnwood for backsplashs, behind shelving, and even covering an entire wall in a room. Also, there looked to be some beams inside it that were big enough they could have been made into mantles, etc. Good job though, especially when no one gets hurt.

[@delmagana2763]

Tim, there is value in the barn wood and tin. You could probably get the word out on it and have people pick thru it and your pile will slowly disappear and put a few bucks in your pocket.

[@kimf1877]

Another great video Tim ! that old video was cool ! I think your Dad had the same baseball hat on in today’s video !

[@cubleycat]

Awesome to see how it was back in 1998 😀

[@bones549]

I'm a woodworker. Sad to see that lumber not reclaimed. Some $$$ there

[@CapeAnnImages]

I had a hunch those hydraulic lines were too exposed behind the grapple. I asked about that on an earlier video. But it sure was an interesting video!

[@denisewildfortune4058]

Wicked glad you saved the Hay Trolley.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Seems to be in pretty good shape too!

[@ngnmech]

Spend many an hour both pulling the trip rope and also sticking the hay fork into the bales or in some cases loose hay.

[@ericlaker1983]

You guys done a great job!! I have had to do that job allot around this farm too. I think it's illegal to burn a standing structure. We done all of our building such as you did. Good stuff. Stinks that you broke a hose. I think you could have totally took it down with artillian grapples.

[@ericlaker1983]

However burning the structure once it's on the ground is a great idea. Once it's cold grab steel out. No nail pulling!!

[@mitch_smith]

She came down cleaner and easier than I would have thought.

[@Foxracing2320]

Fantastic video as always Tim! You should have taken all that gorgeous barn board :) neat projects can be done with it. Hope you didn’t get nails in your tires.

[@SledgeHammer43]

To dispose of all that bad wood I would go get a burn permit. Then make a spot. To pile the debris up away from the grain bins and set a match to it. Then separate the tin and put it into a trailer and the wood into the burn pile. Afterwards you could spread the ash or make one final hole and put the remaining pieces and ash into it. This way you do not have to worry about any nails finding tires.

[@Bradleyandsonsconstruction7880]

Keep them and maintain them

[@mydogsandme5332]

I love these family videos thanks

[@kurtsimmons1587]

Hey Tim are you going to invite your congregation out for a hot dog 🌭 roast? That is what we would do in our area! It is sad to see old barns disappear like those but things don’t last forever. Nothing but our souls!

[@scottfenton7607]

I wish they knew what type of barn they have there! Hand built!

[@bradcoddington1679]

All barns are hand built. I guess you mean mortise and tenon and peg built? I think that they knew exactly what kind of barn they had because Ray Was actually pointing it out in the old footage of the barn

[@brandonlee3875]

Need to spend time with family much as possible cause when there gone that's it my granddad just died last month had cancer was 85 years old should have spent more time with him we thought he was ok just 2 weeks prior and they did surgery and he went fast.

[@georgeclouse5158]

I'm surprised you didn't end up with flat tires pushing all that old barn siding around.

[@emrythompson]

He has beet juice for ballast

[@georgeclouse5158]

Emry Thompson Beet juice isn’t ‘Fix a flat ... It wouldn’t stop a tire from springing a leak if a nail poked through it.

[@clydescabin5]

Loved the old footage!! Another nice video, Tim! Any plans to save any of the siding or timbers?

[@noahhelmuth6497]

Those hey tracks are worth a lot of money depending where you take it don't throw it away

[@jimmyiscrazy913]

Best way to dispose of it is a couple of matches, some used oil, and a little bit of diesel.

[@lowercherty]

Some diesel fuel and a match looks like the best deal.😉

[@floydforever5151]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be near as much fun😁

[@BackyardEngineer334]

Damn you beat me to it.

[@lowercherty]

@Robert B It lights just fine when spread out on some wood. Even used motor oil will do the trick. A little bit of paper or birch bark helps too.

[@jasoncrocker9332]

We pulled A barn down with A 4x4 pickup years ago before we had access to any heavy equipment it worked but made A much bigger debris field than knocking it down the way you did

[@walterjwalnut9964]

I saw the big 4wd dually tractor in the background at one stage, was thinking that you might be able to do the monster truck act once you had the skillion down, drive up and over the remains of the skillion to get it crushed to ground level, then let it at the main section to drop and crush it. Could have been good fun and a different way of doing it, but maybe expensive if the roof cladding, nails or bolts got into the tyres.

[@brentbrown8393]

The building coming down and listening to you all discussing how you were going to go about doing it was interesting, but for me, the thing I most appreciated about the video, a man with to much pride and who often paid a price for moving to fast in his life, was seeing and hearing once again our Good Lord's plan and direction unfold right before our eyes In the Wisdom of an old, tired and done it all salt of the earth farmer's words. For us TTWT believers, Job 12:12 (NAS) "Wisdom is with aged men, With long life is understanding." and for strength and peace of mind during these uncertain times, Psalm 124:8 "Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth."✝️👈🙋‍♂️ Katriel, please never let the world and success cause you to forget your Christian values, or separate you from your beautiful family for gold nor attention.

Thanks Brent. I think we ALL have too much pride at times. One of the most difficult sins to deal with.

It is a shame to see a old barn come down, a little maintenance over the years could have saved this barn.
