Flex seal all the seams of the gravity wagon

[@joerodrigues3816]

Love what you you do amazing you work and you and your wife look after your animals great work all the best to you and your family maté great video as always.

[@Bex-rg8pj]

The pigs are like, ok where is Rebekah with the treats! 😂

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay Evan enjoy your time at the action hope you get what you bid on but most of all have fun and enjoy a much deserved time off from the hard work you do ay your farm

[@jimputnam2044]

Always look inside a fuel tank. If it is dirty or rusty- run...LOL

[@jvin248]

That farmall A was designed to give 'cultivision' when cultivating. Allis Chalmers had a model G that was rear engine with just a frame and you could see all the rows and cultivator shoes. Those saw table tops are still just surface rust that can be sanded back and oiled/waxed and be fine.

[@magnoliagrovehomestead]

Have you considered spray on bed liner for the inside of the feed wagons? The rubberized ones would definitely seal it up, and they are easy to apply even with a small paint roller.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Well looks like you have some plans on getting the needed equipment, good luck with that. Back in the 70's I ran both a 24T and 336 John Deere balers. The last few years I've used a 338 JD baler, the 24T made the best looking bales out of the three, less output, but nice bales. I hope you get what you are planning for at the auction. Good luck with the feed wagon repair. I hope you have a good week ahead, praying for rain for all the area in need too.

[@robertlemoine3500]

Thankyou 😊

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Just seal the seams on the outer perimeter !!!!! It does work !!!!!! Tried n true .

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Good luck bidding. Sounds like you select useful items.

[@jakedunwell8264]

Evan, you sound like a kid in a candy store walking around the auction yard.😂

[@RUDOLF1929]

Великолепно 👍🙂

[@teenagefarmer]

Glad you were able to sell some of your hay. Looks forward to seeing if you got anything. Keep up the good work

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job looking great love your videos thank you

[@johnfarmer1691]

nice sizw tractor for homesteading

[@alexandert6489]

short explanation on why the international super A's are offset despite being a multipurpose tractor. CULTIVATORS (specifically to cultivate between rows of crops such as corn)

[@patblaney6147]

Nice one Evan

[@michelehumann811]

I hope you get what you bid on and they turn out to be good

[@rockyguzek9262]

cleaning up the inside of wagon and putting epoxy on it would do wonders for it

[@dalewallace3812]

I alway watch the auctions up there but I always get in trouble when it comes to auctions to many things I think I need at the time the only thing on your list that I need is fork extensions. If you ever need any extra pallets for anything I have several from where I work you could have I also most of them are 42x48 and 40x48 and 36x48 and 36x36 I use pallets for everything since I have forks for my tractor makes it handy for moving my loader implements around with the forks and without having to hook them all up and to keep from gouging the ground I also have extra large pallets that some machines came in on for now anyway

[@sameaston1301]

I'm totally stealing your ammo can mounted to your ballast box idea 💡 brilliant and love your videos!!!

[@CountryViewAcres]

That's where I keep chains and lifting straps.

[@russellbecker2158]

Don’t know if anybody’s already said this didn’t read through all the comments but the Case 800 is a little bit older, (could be up to 10years than your 730 and should be a little bit bigger horse than your 730!

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Evan

[@waderue]

well i thin if want still do square bail you bid on one and as far as the generator if you get you have replace wiring but it should run and good luck with of it

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Evan,store your bottles bails on end,they will last longer

[@LFfire1597]

Ya I’d take your welder and hit as many seems as you can. Maybe even adding some thin metal to re-skim some of the worse areas. Like everything you just need time and money lol. Keep up the good work; looking forward to seeing what you picked up at auction.

[@garyc4983]

If you are feeding hay now why are you getting rid of last year's left over hay supply ?

[@arthurdewith7608]

Poor quality hay

[@jshiff8256]

Should rotate the hay with feeding. Last years hay feed during the current years summer. Current years hay feed through the winter.

[@CountryViewAcres]

Most of our livestock will have gone to the butcher before winter. We will only have 2 cows and 4 sheep over winter. So we didn't need the extra hay.

[@johnr3603]

The man/woman, the myth , the legen .....Evan and Rebecca 🤗

[@andrewl7467]

Good luck at auction. Maybe a large outdoor hog feeder would be good to own. I thought I saw one in your previous videos. Galvanized with cover and cover over each individual spot on the bottom. Then they have free choice?

[@duaneklein4924]

Time flies on the farm! Keep us posted on the auction. It’s always a pleasure seeing your farmstead! Good luck on getting that generator. Back in the late 70’s we had a horrific ice storm and my brother-in-laws family had one and kept our freezers and neighbors good while we were down for over a week!

[@simplegreen6596]

curious. you said a comment about not having enough pasture and youre over stocked. If so, why would you sell off your hay from last year and not feed it? Not criticism just having a hard time making sense of it. Thanks

[@johnfarmer1691]

might be good mixed with raw milk make these piggies grow

[@loydmeeks2439]

Did they take your cab tractor away

[@CountryViewAcres]

No, I just mowed with it yesterday.

[@stephenlindeman8471]

What gate latches do u have?

[@CountryViewAcres]

They are a 2-way gate latch

[@robertwingard3033]

Who told you cows were to stupid to lift the lid on a mineral container and why didn;t you level and plumb the pallets under your hay bales. PS!! If you are already feeding hay WHY ARE YOU SELLING BALES From last year????

[@csnanny1882]

Evan, you are so smart, when you bought that farm you didn’t know anything about farming. Now look at you, you knew all about those old tractors at the auction,and you knew what all those other old parts were that was laying around. Unbelievable. I had 5 daughters, no sons, So I’m going to call you my son. Hope you don’t mind. I’m so proud of you. God bless , and take care.

[@EC4400]

Hi Evan, Nice tour of the auction. Thanks for taking us along. Good luck with the bidding.

[@lymanharrold166]

Just curious. What did you get for your rounds bales?

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@stephensaasen8589]

That really old John Deere bailer looks like it's about as old as your New Holland wire bailer. The newer John Deere bailers look to be from the 1980's and 1990's. The 347 definitely is. My dad had a 327 bailer he bought new in 1981. It was from the same series as the 347 at the auction. There was the 327, 337 and 347 square bailers. The 327 dad had was an excellent bailer. Never had a problem with it. The only issue it had was because it was the smallest capacity of the series, it was prone to jam in really heavy windrows but you just had to take it slow or you'd jam it and risk shearing the flywheel safety bolt. That 347 would probably go through just about anything. The Farmall A and the smaller Farmall Cub had the offset axles to make row crop cultivating easier. They both had implements that attached under the tractor rather than behind. You could easily watch your implement and line up the wheels between the rows without having to look around the machine while working between the rows. Also, they had a sickle bar mower that attached mid-tractor so you didn't have to twist around in the seat as you cut hay. They were a real good design. Some of the old John Deere tractors I think also had a model of similar design as the Farmall Cub and "A".

[@reedchandler2372]

The 346 John Deere baler looked like it was in pretty good shape. My family ran one just like it on our ranch through the mid 80s. We ran around 8,000 bales per year. If you are interested in it you need to check and make sure the fly wheel doesn’t have any play, that would indicate that the bearings in the gear box are worn out.

[@danielchapa2112]

That Fence breach looks like a good opportunity to set up one of your Wildlife Trail Cameras so we can find out who culprit is?

[@kenmorford6156]

Check your local law requirements for storing more than 100 gals of fuel, you may have to put in a concrete spill pad, there are also site requirements, and the other is your insurance, some cases the expense of setup and yearly inspections can be more than the amount of fuel you use. For us it was actually more cost effective to use truck bed tanks

[@BMinor0788]

When will you resume work on the Allis-Chalmers D-17?

[@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930]

A fox can climb over a six foot link mesh fence carrying a chicken!

[@kern123]

Definitely hair on that barbed wire. I would set a snare to protect your flocks.

[@arthurdewith7608]

Add geese or donkey an old boar with tusks can do a lot of damage to wildlife for free

[@marydanen5220]

Good luck at the auction. God bless💞

[@missouritraveler6401]

Maybe a person should wash the Gravity Wagon out with a water hose and leave the Gravity Wagon out in the hot sunshine for a few days to kill all the mold from the old feed.

[@tonycosta3302]

You might try epoxy coating the interior of the grain bin. It might work better than paint.

[@FloydBlack-xi8fh]

Should be feeding last year's hay to the cows and sheep

[@davidwhite4474]

go to a truck stop or a tarp shop and get corner protection .

[@momusicfan]

I think I saw red hair sticking to the bared wire. Nice easy fix

[@thomasmyers8302]

Novest question: Why are you selling off bails of hay when you have to supplement hay for the animals?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Most of our animals will be butchered before winter. We will only have 2 cows and 4 sheep over the winter.

[@terrycastor8299]

Good luck on the auction . Based on the problems you've had with your NH baler, I'd sure give a couple of those JD balers a second look. I like string bales better than wire but that's me. Baling wire is definitely more useful than twine after it's used, but the string is a lot easier on the hands and the excess string can be burned. One thing I like about your 25 HP tractor is that it keeps running when you get off it. My NH shuts down. It's a bit of a nuisance, but it starts easily so it isn't horrendous, at least at this point in it's life Good video!

[@hoslerfarms6360]

An idea try large canvas tarps for the gravity wagons

[@johnroche4737]

what to allison charmer tractor

[@cakyle1982]

I've got a few questions. Directed specifically at these type of channels such as this one. Quite a number of channels have popped up over several years with this idea of a simple homestead live off the land mentality. First question.....Is this a save money by doing your own work, raising animals, garden, and repairing everything yourself without outside labor even skilled labor in an attempt to be self sufficient? Second question.........I love how many channels including this one do many things themselves. No outside labor. I mean, I'm seeing homes, endless acres, super premium products bought that I know cost multiple tens of thousands of dollars......... I mean farmers (I guess their called homesteaders now) buying multiple fancy gizmos with a rundown on the features. Garages that have more features and square footage than the four walls that they sleep in at night. LOL! With clothing that cost more than a whole days pay for some. Am I missing something here. Im being honest. I loves these kind of channels but I'm starting to get the gut feeling......(and I always trust my gut)......that these channels are full of just advertisements for these companies that give their products free as long as you say something good about it. I'm serious, I just don't see. Am I wrong? Being in debt for homes and land and barns and equipment. Is this normal now? Im just trying to understand how going into debt like this is being self sufficient. Im not downing this channel or any other. Evan and Becca are great. Im just trying to understand.

[@hubertwebb9869]

Evan I waited a long time to watch what you did to finish the rear of the Barn. I saw when you started to tear it apart and I saw today you have the Hay feeder for the cows but I didn't get to watch you finish the area. What video can I watch to see you finish it? I must have missed it.❤❤PS- God has blessed your family a lot, please be sure to thank him.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I bet on a go cart once and I should have walked away. This one had a snowmobile engine, brakes and they worked. I unloaded it, put gas in and held on, till I just about smacked a tree head on and sliding. Whomever built it and this idiot that bought it, should have had the brain looked at. I drove it the one time and it sat. I couldn't get the battery out, it was welded in and at that time I didn't have a welder.

[@williamwhite882]

Was wondering with all the feed you have to buy for the pigs, is it cost productive to raise pigs?

[@sandypratt8951]

❤️👍👍👍

[@stevedrew5425]

Try an old tarp under the pallets, keeps humidity off the bales. Thanks

[@stevedrew5425]

Gravity wagons are for transporting grain not storing it during the humid months Thanks

[@jeffmccoy6793]

I watched you build your hay forks, always wanted to ask,why you mounted your forks up high instead of at bottom,,luck with farm auction

[@corydriver7634]

Unfortunately that fox is going to find a way in no matter what you do. Farm auctions are hard on the wallet.

[@odisdenney690]

at 2.14 isnt there some reddish fur caught on the barbwire?

[@alexandert6489]

Suggestions on seeders. Massey ferguson 33 drill. Not fancy but you can plant a hay crop with oats and peas for added foilage as they are common (at least in my area) and easy to maintain or international has also manufactured drills with grass boxes

[@scottkonik3398]

With the way the weather is and since you’re going to be have cattle year round it’s better to keep hay instead of selling it you can never have to much hay.

[@betadoctor]

6:06 What you need good sir is a as Cole Sonne would call it a "Slappie"

[@stevedrew5425]

Over stocked with animals why sell any

[@stevedrew5425]

Put plywood on the inside won't form condensesion

[@loriconley3890]

I learned how to drive on a 56 Farmall A. We had a 1 row plow, cultivator, disc, sicle bar, plow blade and a buzz saw for it. Pulled a big wooden sled in the winter with all the kids in town on it.

[@jvin248]

Given the likely hay shortage this winter you may want to let sections of the lawn around the buildings and house grow so you can graze or cut and bale. We used to put temporary electric fence around the buildings as an organic 'weed wacker', sheep worked better than goats. That ditch under the fence looks like a woodchuck/groundhog -- they may be scoping out a good place to dig under the house or sheds.

[@arthurdewith7608]

Pigs are the best at clearing away weeds grass shrubs for a garden they get right to the roots and fox coyote will not bother pigs because of all the noise they make

[@Rosie.Langer]

I would of thought standing the hay bales on end you could get them two high?

[@alexandert6489]

9:26 is a john deere 60. manufactured from 1952-1956

So what did you get at the Auction??

Evan plz keep your load low when carring loads with your tractor. Many people have been hurt or killed when they get center of gravity to high.

[@CountryViewAcres]

There was a fence in front of the tractor. That's why I lifted the bail going through the barnyard.

[@chesterdroors1605]

Evan, you mentioned a few years back you were going to paint the barn. Is that going to be on your to-do list soon? Red or white?

[@CountryViewAcres]

Probably red. But not anytime soon
