Can We Farm With ABANDONDED EQUIPMENT? - Ep. 3 - PUTTING THE CORN IN

[@hankelrod7315]

I farmed for 46 years and you have just proved to me I have been doing it all wrong. You figured out how to get free equipment, free seed & free help to get a crop in the ground. You are the smartest farmer I have ever seen:)

[@bobbythompson6017]

Getting free stuff is all about being bff with the right ppl

[@Jdearly]

Not free. Still have to buy parts:(

[@mwnciboo]

It is interesting, once you are on the treadmill of modern farming, you simply have to get those yields and the price to make it work. But if you don't get on that treadmill, buy that 100k Tractor or 250k Harvester, you don't need that fertilizer.. that spray ... to make the yield to make the payments. It is mad, how we have got to here - But I just traded in a NH T4.75 for a DF Agrotron 85 from 1998 because it is easier to maintain. I'm trying to buy an identical second, and a 3rd in reserve so I can keep that 25 year old Tractor (which is very modern) going for another 25 years. I am basically becoming an expert in this model, and grabbing lots of spares and donors and so far it is paying off in terms for cost.

[@whatsinanamethatthecaptive577]

This is so similar to how we started farming in 1979 when I was 13. My dad bought my Grandpa's farm in 1979. He was a little behind the times then, but we started farming those first years with a Farmall H tractor, a John Deere 490 planter, a disc, a digger (you called it cultivator), a front mounted cultivator to remove weeds after the corn was up, a 1969 Ford truck and a dog following us back and forth in the field. We used a tractor mounted corn picker. Your tractor sounds exactly like I remembered it. Thanks for the memories.

All I do is watch monitors all day. Everything is driven electronically even the rows. Sayin all that I respect the heck out of what your doing.

I am thoroughly impressed you've had less issues with equipment what's just been laying around the most farmers do with brand-new modern equipment I cannot wait to see how you're going to harvest it all and what you're going to have to do to get it all

[@Thekilleroftanks]

its thanks to the change over from mechanical to digital systems. while mechanical is far more reliable and can last a lot longer, it has major flaws that comes with it compared to, well digital. mainly control and time it takes for setup. while a digital system can be configured in literal seconds, mechanical systems depending on how complex they get can take longer. and changing settings on the fly isnt possible with mechanical systems. hence why everyone more or less moved over. ironically digital systems are easier to repair and maintain unless the companies producing them just wants to be dicks and make it hard, and thats the only reason why people say they like mechanical systems. also about the harvest, that may be hard or easy. if they go old school like how they have been doing... well may be impossible to even find one, or say fuck it and go with a 70s or 80s harvester.

[@Country1234-p5o]

The new tech makes farmers spend less time in the field but more time in the shop, due to having more complex crap, so more parts, the more stuff that breaks

[@swamp-yankee]

I love how you installed that fancy car shock into the seat then immediately max out its compress size so you might as well just have a solid metal bar for a seat spring.

[@kurtismiller9544]

Kevin, you can get positive stops for that hydraulic cylinder. split rings with a spring band on the outside, they come in variety of widths. set your desired depth then stack the rings til it fills the rest of the cylinder shaft from head to body. when you lower the equipment, it stops at that point so you don't keep going too deep and stall it out. helps immensely when you're using single action cylinders.

Andrew I was going to say the same thing but for clarity I would have said when filling a xxx with liquid out of a container, have the hole of the container filling from, in the 12 o'clock position not the 6 o'clock possie it will flow, and not gurgle as the air can get in the pouring container easier.

This was awesome! I knew this series was going to be a blast to watch.

I can't wait to see an update with the little green stems coming out of the ground and the growing beginnings!! That planter was really impressive considering how old it was, it really did a good job. You should do weekly updates, just a real quick one showing the growth in the field and then you could time lapse it in the end and show the growth over the season...that would be very entertaining too.

Oh, also, I'm practically an oil expert, I have been using the internet for quite a number of years, that more than qualifies me, and I'll confirm the best oil to use is one that is made of oil. The water based oils just don't hit quite the same, and neither do the pudding based oils.

Took me 25 years back when I was 10 or so and we used to plant rice. There was no tractor, all we had were half-dozen farming tools and couple of borrowed oxen. My father or a hired help would till the field using a wooden plow with iron-tip. Then we would use big wooden-hammers to break the clods, pick up any organic debris. After this the my granny would mostly just throw the rice seeds in followed by some field walking to put the seeds a bit deep in the ground. Then few weeks later there would be rice plants coming out of the field. Then normally you would use fertilizers and monthly weed-whacking along with some water-management ( in my hometown it rains crazy, that's why rice!). We would start by May-end, would put seeds in by June-1st/2nd week, and by October end we would have rice ready to be plucked. Then everybody in the household and some hired help would take sickles and go cut the crop. Then there was a lot of exercise to bash the rice-clippings onto wooden boards and then collect and take the grain to a mill for further processing.

Can't wait for the future episodes of this series. We used 70's equipment on our farm still. The old stuff are incredible pieces of engineering. The corn is finally in!

You need a junk yard digs sticker on the tractor 😂

[@TheEnddays2009]

Awesome! but do yourself a favor, with that old open-seat tractor and disk put a kill switch lanyard on. I had a friend growing up that ran a setup like that get killed by the disks when he fell off the seat. My uncle would never let us use the dash throttle when we disked for that reason, he would disable them and add a kill switch

yes they are showing no respect to the dangers of farming,very disappointed.Stamding on the planter was hard to watch.unreal

[@jackjetpilot]

Yep, I reckon these are my favorite series...love it all, but these are the best!

[@chipstamper7020]

Dude I totally loved watching this one watching new plant was extremely relaxing and don't be fooled that equipment was the best there was in its day imagine a team of horses now what about Harvest

[@timothy9955]

hey alot of older school farmers keep their old equipment because the new ones are outragesly expensive and computerized with stupid updates and software recalls so this to me is a good way to go

[@janeames1513]

same with truck drivers..tired of being regulated by the epa for def fluid and smog garbage robbing needed power to pull hills..speaking from experience of course...did it for nearly 15 years and got tired of being shut down on the interstate by stupid computerized garbage..and yes it will shut you down heart-attack- dead on the freeway or busy city loop then you become a hazard to yourself and everyone else commuting

me me me...looks like 1980-1990 around my house and am ging to keep it that way...Just farm what we own and dont care what the big dogs think..

Back when I was a teenager my uncle rented a 30 acre farm, he decided to plant it and he didn't have a tractor but he had a disc and cultivator so we used my pickup to disc and cultivate the field then we used the hand plow and put in the seed by hand him, my father and I were so exhausted by the time we were done we couldn't move.

When I was a kid in the 70s and 80s I had no idea that small planters existed. We had a British Leyland small tractor to plow and disc. Cultivator? Didn't know that existed either. After disking we just planted by hand. Seemed to work . Thankfully we only had about 3 acres of mixed crops.

This is awesome! You are absolutely in your element. Hopefully one day you can buy the neighbors 120 acres and manage his property as well!

[@dannysharp8724]

Thanks for sharing it takes me back as a kid watching dad and grandpa farming with the same type of equipment. Don't forget to have a fried chicken dinner on the tailgate , fresh sweet corn & tomatos

[@caveman775]

Loved this. Please do more farm tractor stuff. Never knew they needed zinc.
