Harvesting Throughout The Years

[@natebates4949]

Loved the video. My family farms up in Cincinnatus. I farm in NC now. Loved to drive past your farm my whole life and watching the changes over the years. We were very good friends with your neighbors the Wilcoxs. Keep the videos coming! You are doing a great job!

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Nate. The Wilcoxs are great people. They actually moved a couple years ago to another part of town. My brother and his wife bought their house

[@tractorchasers]

The first Ford, the John Deere grain cart, the AGWAY truck...so much cool history in this video! Thanks for sharing!

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. Lot of cool stuff to look back on

[@davidbriggs1649]

I liked this video so much, Mike, I farmed at the same time as your dad, in the same area, did business with the same dealers by the look. Peningroth IH and New Holland, and their ace salesman, Al Chasse. I know you new Al because of the Sealstore silo! Manwarring JD also. I wish we had pictures from those years, but I loved seeing yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikep7810]

That name sounds familiar. I've heard my dad mention Peningroth but that was before my time. I do remember Manwarrings equipment. That is were the 2940 came from and the 4040 my dad tested. I actually found a John Deere belt in our shop last year that had a Manwarrings tag on it

Enjoyed your video, thanks 😊

Great video Mike. Love old school farms and old school farm equipment. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Craig.

[@joehusnik4337]

Thanks for the look back always interesting. A barn video once in a while would be appreciated nothing more relaxing on a cold day than cows chewing cud and pulsaters going.

[@mikep7810]

There are some coming up

[@jaredthorne7661]

I love the old past photos and videos you put up Mike. You don’t seem them on here much it’s all today’s stuff. I grew up on a 4455 chopping and mowing with a 3020. Enjoy watching your “old school” way of farming

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@scottmettler5164]

Awesome Mike there’s nothing wrong with old school machines

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Scott. I agree

[@ianhaggart1438]

Your family are very fortunate to have all the old footage to look back on sir... I wish we had more of what went on on our farm.. memories are great but some fade over time as we get older... I see where you get your ideas from to... just like your dad open to other manufacturers with good designs that fit your needs.. stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@paulreis1648]

Great video Mike. I seen a 7410 low hours on it from America AG auctions. It had a loader with the grapple on it I thought of you . Your dad is a smart man the way he went at his machinery shows that . Thank you

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Paul. That 7410 with loader/grapple would be a nice addition to the farm indeed

[@paulreis1648]

@mikep7810 I want to say it had 2300 hours

[@Henrik7480]

Great to see your choices in harvest machinery through the years

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. Pretty cool to look back on

[@onehappyfarmer3461]

Awesome filmography of the farm history.

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Jeff. Pretty cool to look back on

[@bigtractorpower]

I enjoyed the video. So cool to see a New York built LAMCO forage wagon. Also interesting to see the tractor progression and the demo models. When do you next plan to add or upgrade a tractor? The first farm machine I ever got to ride in was a CASE 1060 combine. It inspired my interest in farm equipment. Did your CASE combine get traded in for the 4420?

[@mikep7810]

I'm not sure when the next tractor upgrade will be. You can never have too many. The Case combine was pretty whooped so it went back to the yearly auction that he got it from and he had it custom done for a few years until he got the 4420

[@bigtractorpower]

@ thank you for the history.

[@jamiecota1628]

That is awesome to have all the videos from back in the day. Great footage and video, loving seeing stuff from the 80s.❤

Those old movies are so interesting. Your lucky you videoed life on the farm.

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Randy. I'm very fortunate that my grandma recorded everything

[@dembeckfarms]

I really wish my family had taken more pictures of the farm, would be nice to have something to look back on.

[@mikep7810]

I am very fortunate, my grandma filmed everything and took pictures of everything. Even getting some of the old footage off her old VHS I have to go through a lot of random stuff

Beautiful video mam and dad wow some team

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I appreciate it

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I'm sure the 3 row head made the 4055 howl! I always thought that the JD silage boxes were designed to choke the blowers, they seemed to slug feed a LOT. NH choppers are hard to beat, the FP 240 looks sweet. I liked the Ford TW's, ran a TW20 with a NH890/892 3rn corn head, and it would walk away with it. Great video, Mike! And my Dad had a heart attack in '96, but I was 27 and managed to hang on for another 10 years. Still have the land, but I found out that I am better off working for someone else and keeping all my paychecks is easier... God Bless You, my friend, and keep doing what you are doing! I will keep watching!👍👍

[@mikep7810]

Thank you Morgan. I appreciate it. We bumped up the HP a little on the 4055 so it ran the chopper a little better. Even though I'm a deere guy I have a soft spot for those old fords

I like video nice improvements over yrs hey what tractor would buy today to make a update? Thanks

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I would definitely get a 7810

[@mennoreuten1563]

Thats a bit how i start farming ,every day a little better except i build my freestall pretty soon when i start farming but whit the machines i started whit a ford 4600 and now my biggest tractor is the 6125R ,anyways thanks for the video and have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Menno. I wish we added a free stall somewhere throughout the years but maybe someday

[@mennoreuten1563]

@mikep7810 if you want to expand thats the way to go ,Labour will be the limited factor

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Mike, I hope ya'll are doing well, Ya, that was a Cool video, I already knew the history of your current farm, however I didn't know that you went from a 4420 JD combine, to a 9500 JD, thats quite the jump in size and capability, I was expecting to see ya'll go to a 8820 JD next, was that a consideration ya'll even thought about, before going with the 9500 ?? Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@mikep7810]

We ran the 4420 longer then we should of. It really started giving us problem toward the end. Parts for the 20 series were getting harder to find so we didn't give another bigger 20 series combine much thought.

[@carlr287]

nice video Mike, is that you and your brother sitting on the Ford TW-5 at the 15.22 mark.

Thank you. Yes, my older brother is sitting on the step, I'm standing over his right shoulder by the door, and my younger brother is sitting in the driver's seat

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Nothing wrong with the old school way of doing things actually our set up is much like how it was how your 1996 was but that's ok. It may be old school but it wasn't 1930's old school.... I appreciate these videos to break up the monotony of winter.

Do u bale any corn 🌽 fodder? Or even thought abt it to sell corn fodder bales ? Or two have as emergency back up for bedding?

[@mikep7810]

We've never baled corn stalks. Some years we are racing the snow finishing up combining corn

[@Adam_Poirier]

Very cool video Mike thanks for sharing that. The Ford tractors that you guys tried, did they come from Clinton?

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Adam. The Fords came from Cortland Ford New Holland which was right by Cazenovia Equipment Cortland store. Cortland Ford New Holland turned into Empire Tractor and now that location is CNY Farm supply. The 2 brothers that own CNY, their dad use to run the Ford New Holland dealership. I was talking to him at the CNY booth at the farm show last year and showing him some of these old pictures

[@jasonbeecher509]

I know I'm a little slow but we still farm with 2 cylinders , 4020s and a couple of 40 series tractors. Awesome upgrades

Hey mike do you ever find baby deer when you are combine

[@mikep7810]

Never when we combine. My dad has kicked out a big deer when he was combine, I've never kicked one out. Baby deer around here usually get discovered when guys are mowing 1st cutting hay. One time when I was mowing with the self propelled mower I had a mama deer and baby jump up as I was coming. Luckily I was able to stop

[@camronmarlo1215]

How many row corn head do you shell corn with and how many rows is your planter

[@mikep7810]

We have a 4 row corn planter. We use to have a 2 row pull type corn sheller, then had the 4420 combine with a 4 row head, now have the 9500 with a 6 row head
