Guess who made an appearance? 🤔🙂

[@fndiver]

That smile on your dad’s face is telling that he was feeling nostalgic.

[@gavinperry7237]

I like your dad’s personality. Maybe in time he will feel more comfortable to pass on his vast amount of knowledge relating to earlier farming practices

[@WilliamStevens007]

Yeah thats my feeling about Mike's dad too, A wealth of knowledge in that mans head.

[@kloppanator]

We could all learn so much from him I'm sure.

[@guzzimon61]

20 yr's and it take a half a day to get it ready, and now it takes a full day to swap out harnesses alone.

[@waynelettau6350]

If your Dad is not in another video ... EVER, I feel BLESSED to have gotten to see him at least once. I respect his privacy but that man is a WEALTH of knowledge gained by experience. Those trial and error lessons are the ones we remember the most. Please tell him we are HONORED to have gotten to see him.

Hey Mike, loved hearing from your Dad, would be awesome to hear from him more often. I have a few videos of my Dad kicking around and now that he has passed they are some of our most treasured possessions. Love the vids!

[@DCHOY1]

I admire your calmness during the rush season of seeding time especially with all the land you have to sow. You still take the time to enjoy the history of your farming past. Its great. Good luck with the rest of the season

[@FoodwaysDistribution]

Someone with experience in farming gives your channel a new dimension. And glad he mentioned the ease to setup this old equipment compared to the space shuttles you have nowadays.

Hey Mike Sweet video. Glad too meet your Father. Be safe . Brgds from Lithuania

We got robbed of a stuck video! Mike you disappoint me. Was looking forward to the grandson(fender 724) pulling out grandpa(ernie aka Massey 1105)

Super cool to hear from your dad. More dad stories please. You should interview him Mike.

Yep. Your dad is just as awesome as I pictured him.

So cool having Dad around and still teaching you young bucks the ropes of seeding.

[@Hunglikemoose]

Can we have a family history about your farm? I think it would be cool to understand how everything led up to this point.

I think he's ran through the history awhile back. I think it might've been when he was cleaning up his grandparents cabin for his wedding last year... Idk exactly what video it was.

[@WilliamStevens007]

Look after your Dad Mike, You never know when they will leave you. I'm 50 today and my dad died 18 years ago and my mother this year. Feeling all too lonely without family around me. I have good friends around me but birthdays are not quite the same especially without my Dad.

[@warrendemars]

Enjoyed hear from your dad in the video. If you could ever talk him into an informal Q&A, that would be fun, say, old tech vs new tech, equipment differences, etc.

[@shalashase]

Hello from Germany, nice to see your old equipment working, very nice to see your dad in this video. Ernie has a really nice sound when he comes to work.

[@HamJumbo3]

Great Video Mike, my Late Father ran a 3m Massey 30 Grain/Fert Disc Drill from new on this farm from 1973 & mind it was a cracking piece of Kit had lots of similar things to these Drills your showing us. That Seeding chart under hopper lid is brilliant, Kilos to the Hectare & Ilbs to the Acre.

[@gavinperry7237]

You forgot to take your shoes off as you got into Ernie’s cab. Most likely shoes are required if quick escape is required due to mice scaring you. 😂🐁🐀🤣

[@garyfaulds2008]

I truly love it when I see a son working an learning from his father with Massey Ferguson equipment. Reminds me of my dad before he past 7 years ago an we had Massey equipment as well. Not going to lie ,,had a little tear in the eyeball , the video brought back very good memories to the surface, an that why MASSEY FERGUSON is favorite equipment. Good stuff 👍👍👍🇨🇦

I like how long it took to properly connect the myiad of hoses!! Wow!

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Your dad is awesome. I wish he would talk about the days when he farmed with his equipment.

[@2chipped]

I remember being 6 yrs old,riding on the back of a drill while my dad was sowing wheat. It was 1980 and since we didn't have packers,I stood on the platform behind the hoppers. In Ga I've very seldom seen a mult-drill being used. In the early 80' I remember him finding the center of the field,so he could start bottom plowing on that line. We had non-flipping /standard plow,so you started in the center and worked out to the edges. I helped with harvest on a wheat farm in Byers Colorado in 1999,they were sowing with 60 ft drills like yours with green Steigers. Good memories!

[@2chipped]

We had an 856 IH cab-less with multipower as our big tractor. 4 bottom plow would bring the smoke.

[@jimpolk]

Good to see your Poppa giving out of some wisdom. God bless him.

Hi Mike, I'd love to hear the whole history of when your family arrived to Canada and what they did the first year they arrived and so on until these days

Great to see your dad in the video, he has quite a sense of humour too. Your family ran quite an operation back in your youth with three sizeable seeding outfits. Fun video.

[@makinhay2735]

Get your Dad in more videos. Really liked how you guys asked him his opinions. Makes you realize your Dad knows a thing or two. Get a video of him telling us how the farm started and what it took to grow it to the operation it is now. Have him talk about the years gone by and history of the area. You will be glad you did and be able to pass it on. I didn't get that done with my Dad before he passed and at 62 years of age I still miss my parents and regret I didnt talk about the past with them. Really like your videos !!

[@trevorbacelli]

Hello Mike, I was very happy to see your Dad Bob there with you, he looks a great fellow, I loved the smile on his face when he told you he could get more done with the discs in a day than your with the Air Seeders, remember its great to have your Elders with you as they have many more years experience, I noticed you didn't remember some things about the disc seeders Dad just came out straight with the answers, that's why the longer you have your Elders the more you will get knowledge passed down, Iike I said before ,The video you make now with the Massey Ferguson seeders will not only help younger people, but will help any one to seed with discs, Great video and thank you Mike you are showing maturity, and showing good example for younger people in Agriculture, Bless you & your Family Good Stuff Cheers Trevor.W.Bacelli.

Oh man that took me back to 1991. I was trying to remember how to get those 360s in transport as well. Don’t worry about those packer hitches, only once have I ever seen the last packer on the first discer end up under the second discer. 😆A jackall was required. The window was the original seed monitor
