New stretcher for the Tanco and Old (World) Auction for the Finks

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Wow what a buy!! Two bucks? Wow. You wrapper is darn cool.. it all seems to work brand new! I've always liked Auctions just looking at things that are from the bygone days and thinking. Hey I remember using that... That young girl you had to sneak up on? She does have a Very Beautiful smile!!! Definitely😊😊😊😊.. her eyes went right along with it...😊😊😊😊

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Lydia's 4-H leader Megan! She does not love my pointing the camera at her, but she is very photogenic :)

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm Glad you was able to get her on flim... the camera does like her.. 😊😁

[@rogercarrico4975]

Nice video! Love to see hay being made!

[@lorikoch8010]

Glad to see your video! What great work the men in your family did on the wrapper!! Auctions are always so much fun- especially when you get the deal of the day!! $2

[@kensmithler5965]

Great video Laura. Back when I was on the farm, we only did the small rectangle bales. Fascinating watching the wrapping process. Was wondering if more wrap is used on higher moisture hay than dry hay? Those auctions are so interesting because you never know what treasure you might find.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Thank you! We typically don't wrap dry hay, so we can't speak from experience. Keith thinks if you are trying to keep moisture out, it wouldn't take as much wrap as trying to keep oxygen out...what we are doing with baleage.

I am always looking for unusual hand tools at a sale. A person just told l yesterday that you can get an app for your iPhone that will give you the value of an object at yard sale or an auction if you take a photo of it. Wonders never cease. Keep up the great videos. 😊😊😊

[@ES-zt8sj]

I’d be interested in that auction! Very entertaining. 😁

[@jacobb3446]

Bill Stade had my grandparents farm auction and my parents farm auction back in the day. They still do a couple of auctions in our area even though there's not a lot of active farms left in the area. Always interesting to see what kind of deals can be found or what someone is willing to pay for something at an auction.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Back in the spring Keith picked up a box of glass jars, including some milk bottles, for $11 or $12. Not so at this auction!

[@goatfarmmb]

That's awesome, that new stretcher will last another decade or two. cool looks like there was an old Partyline telephone at that auction, them telephones where the first Social media networks ... listing in what the neighbors are talking about lol. Read an article years ago that the first telephones between farms where hooked up to the barbwire. We had in Switzerland a fanning mill too that grandfather used till about 1969 when for the last time a threshing machine came to the farm (that machine was powered by an electric motor). Dad said that fanning mill was able to clean seed as well taking out weeds. lots of treasures at that auction!

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

You should make a trip down here sometime for it!

[@mattlyon5156]

That's Awesome......... $2. ........😊

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@john-i7e9j]

Great buy for 2 bucks. 👍👍

[@Ironvalleylarry]

They always told me for every fog in August there would be a measurable snow fall that winter.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Oh boy......

[@AhmedDakoud-jz6ld]

Great video thank you

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

You are welcome, Ahmed! thanks for always watching!

[@AhmedDakoud-jz6ld]

@@KeithFinkFamilyFarm you are the Best for me

[@larrystone4033]

fantastic great for cooking off tomatoes

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

If Lydia's patch is successful, we'll have to try that!

[@oldiron4135]

Go to Just A Few Acers Farm and look for Pete working on his IH 756. He shows how to take apart the shifting linkage. I have a IH 706 but mine isnt sloppy like that.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Keith believes he can fix it...unfortunately it's just one of those projects that can't happen during the summer. We love Pete and his channel.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Don't know what I would buy, but there was certainly a wide variety of items. One of the biggest farmers near us used to have an auction on Memorial Day weekend. Too bad the old phone went too high. It would have looked good next to his other collectables and your bargain finds. That new stretcher part really works well. Really speeds up the process. My dad used to collect old milk bottles from a dairy he worked for before I was born. Think I still have one. If you don't mind, what type of work do you do off the farm? I tried to jump over one of those old milkcans when I was young, don't ask why. Put a round hole in my shin bone and the scar is still there.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

He has one old phone already but has dreams of having another in the barn so the two can "talk" to each other....err... so folks can chat between the two buildings. :) I don't mind telling you what I do off the farm. I work for Nasco Education, which is in short a catalog fulfillment company. I work in the warehouse filling orders. It's like shopping all day long HA!

[@southwestwifarm3516]

I agree with Keith that it’s gonna be an early winter, I’m anticipating 4 cuttings with high chance of a 5th, good years usually bring rough winters

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

sshhhhhh.....

[@dwaynewampler7494]

Nice buy on that roaster I have seen them go as high as $75

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

AH! Good to know!

[@bodiehot]

the buy of the day

[@geoffhirsh2402]

Guessing an incubator

[@bhamby9305]

Do you guys ever come across any the old Surge vacuum pumps?

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

We saw one a couple years ago at a local celebration of the Jones Dairy Farm "Yellow Barn" where someone had a display of old milking equipment. Keith says you rarely see something like that at an auction. There is never, however, a shortage of Surge bucket milkers.

[@markenge9348]

My mother, who was a home economics teacher when she met my dad in 1940, had a Nesco roaster that she valued very highly. I remember her preparing large recipes of food for big gatherings. Boston baked beans was one of the dishes I remember. Appliances like that were much better made than nowadays. What electrical appliance do you know of that still works after 80 years? The junk they sell us today might make it a couple of years if you're lucky and then they rip you off twice selling you a stupid warranty for you to replace their flimsy junk that won't stand up and isn't worth fixing.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Agreed. Too many things nowadays are digital and once something goes on the motherboard, you can forget it. Did your mom do Boston baked beans from scratch? I assume so. I am from the northeast originally, so I think I must have teethed on baked beans and potato salad on Saturday nights :) Laura

[@markenge9348]

@KeithFinkFamilyFarm she did them from scratch but sometimes she bought these boxes of dried beans that had already been partially cooked. I haven't seen any for years. I think they were called Hallmark beans but I could be wrong. They sped up the cooking time but you still had to add the tomatoes, brown sugar, onions & etc.

[@alancooper5386]

Record setting heat here has really hurt us, 8 days straight with temps of 100F + we never had gotten more then 2 days of heat before a cool down. Every morning i had to call in all the men to help clear out the dead pigs, in one week we lost 323 hogs due to the heat, we have a in flow vent on a outside wall and a sucking out flow on the ceiling but sucking in hot air into a hot room is the problem. this week the temp cooled down and we got some rain showers but another dome of heat is coming in a few days.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

We are so, so sorry to hear about that hardship. That's a lot of hogs :( Cannot believe the heat you have been experiencing!

[@Queenie_78]

No more corn 🌽 🌽 what do the cows eat? 🐄 🐂 🐮

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

They still eat corn ---- just purchased unfortunately :( We don't have enough tillable land to raise our own corn.

[@Queenie_78]

And the leaves are already falling lots of them in some yards I have seen.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

ugh! I love fall but certainly not what follows!

[@bhamby9305]

To replace that big tractor would be very expensive. I would repair before it's unrepairable or transmission has to be replaced. Just my 2 cents. I like the channel better now.

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

thank you for the comments!
