People say farming is nothing. Well people don't no what farming's is about. A lot ups and downs. Keep the good work up

[@JamesTyreeII]

Those 55 series utility tractors seem to be reliable starters. Glad you got yourself one with a sound gard cab

[@baldydbt1443]

The 27 is an amazing tractor and great multi purpose with the loader the 50 n 55 series are one of the best tractors made

[@GasChaser]

Love it! "Show me a good parts guy"......oh so true

[@kevincron1716]

Hey Chris I have a 2750 jd same tractor and I pulled a 8 row ih 950 planter in steep hills in ontario canada with sold fertilizer 4800 ibs when full with no problems

[@st4183]

Austin you rock! 👍👍 Chris keep your head up. The pieces are falling into place to go farming.

[@markallen6961]

You said the tractor had an 8-4 gear box, in the UK the small lever just behind the hand throttle gave you a split in all gears making it a 16-8, i see you have the lever in the cab.👍

[@whitby910]

Most of us appreciate you have a lot to do, some of it none of our business! Take care and try to enjoy being your own master at last and go easy on yourself.

[@steveboxum6734]

As for the comment you mentioned about someone saying if you don't know the name of the plow parts you shouldn't run a plow....We'll I'm an ag mechanic and there are several people that own farms and equipment and have no clue about anything other than operating them. Don't let comments like bug you. Your doing awesome and have done more for yourself in a short period of time than others can do in a lifetime!!!

[@nathanlivengood974]

Keep that chin up. You'll get what ya need.

[@jimkavalier2831]

Great that Yenko fits in the new tractor! My dad used to take the old plow lays, and pound them in the ground outside the sliding shed doors, they work great as door guides or stops to protect from wind

[@mikegozdziewski3289]

You are doing great! Don’t listen to the bay sayers. You have your own place. Lucky you

[@durtydan7697]

Keep your head up things will work out

[@carl2755]

You just bought the tractor I have been wanting for years. A fine choice.

[@timothybrown579]

On seals like that you have to take the old one to either Fleetpride, traction, Napa or a truck repair shop that’s been around forever. They’ll have to measure it and find the modern replacement. Dealer is not your friend on those old trucks (I deal with it all the time). Every time you get a part for those trucks or trailers write the part number in a file for each vehicle. When you find a seal get an extra for the shelf bearings also. I run my own truck hauling aggregate and you need lots of wear items on hand because sometimes the parts store is closed and you need that truck for morning. When the truck is paying the bills it needs to roll.

[@coffee8866]

Awesome Tractor. Analog Deeres are the best. Easy to fix. Its really great seeing how things are moving along. Keep it up dude!!!!

[@Lordwilliams1990]

you will have a shock what it will pull, 4 furrow mounted plough, tedder, rake, mower, powerharrow, 4m air drill no problem. very good spray tractor and one hell of a good turning circle. the manheim tractor are the best version., you got yourself a gem. You will never use the difflock, the limited slip diffs are stunning in that tractor.

[@ianrobertson4616]

great looking tractor the 55 series are the best they ever made, you will be amazed at what that tractor will pull, we always just took the bucket off and left the loader on for extra weight when doing feild work etc.

[@edwarddherde9536]

I like it that you got a second tractor and it has a much needed loader good for you and to heck with any negative Nancy’s it was in the budget and you make do with what you can afford it’s not their money

[@mikebeauregard4464]

you didn't think it was going be easy did ya chris, LOL stay strong my friend you got this.

[@nigelmchugh5541]

In the European market it'd be badged as a 2850. Built in Mannheim, engine built in Deeres engine plant at Saran. The castor-angle front axle lets them turn tight. Watch that Yanko dosen't get "nipped" when the seat bottoms out against the base of the cab. Likewise when the lift arms come up into the cab on full lift ( into their rubber/plastic covers). A European back window for it would be nice.....

[@Dachshund6970]

Hang in there Chris, it will get better. Wish I lived closer to help you brother.

[@johnsandell4501]

Very nice tractor!

[@jamessievers3899]

I'm glad things are finally coming around for you!

[@michaelgrant4825]

Watched a movie several years back with Clint Eastwood called The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Sounds a bit like farming. You have to put up with all three. Don't work yourself sick Chris. Take it one day at a time and everything will come together for you as it always has. Get a good night sleep, have a hardy breakfast of bacon and eggs in the morning and get right back into it. Some of your commenters have said that there are red tractors out there!! Is That True?? 😁Nothing wrong with green. It is a matter of preference and experience.

[@whiskerrub3821]

The biggest downfall that must be addressed with everything you buy and that is the “farm upper management” (aka Yenko) needs a very comfortable seat/bed etc. to manage from. Let’s get that addressed. I wonder if something like packing mould foam would work to give management a platform …. form to space but still allow for removable. I think you got a great tractor well done!👍👍

[@jasonbeecher509]

Keep calm and everything will come into place. Keep the faith. Very nice tractor . I think they are a good loader tractor

[@coenbroosh]

Take the fuel cap of and look if there is a year stamped in. Al the tractor's we had in Europe had the built year on the fuel cap. Nice tractor 😍

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Great did not do much but the little things needed to get done before the big things great video thank you Chris

[@toshadude1]

We used to have a JD 2850 we dis everything with it. But we always had a full rack of weights on the front. I think you should try it on the planter in the hills it will surprise you I think. But that’s up to you. Anyways keep up the good work.

[@jbocj7]

I can't wait to see what's in store for you this year, cheering you on bud. Big yields and few break downs I hope for you.

[@duaneschmitz2674]

Duffy keep doing what you are doing because you are going to have the people that know it all fuck them . I enjoy watching you from day to day because I will never be able to farm anymore I stuck in a wheelchair 👍👍👍

[@willianvos3521]

I know a familyfarm one of their sons lost their right arm in a accident. They bought a new tractor put all the levers and such to the leftside. They got the tractor and that son stept out of the familyfarm

[@bosseliminator]

To fix the planter you need to go to the master cylinder in the hitch. Remove the collar which will line up the ports, and all the cylinders will rephrase. Raise it up and down a few times put the collar back on and they’ll be fixed.

[@matthewvalentine598]

What caused the problem? If that's the fix. Was something done wrong?

[@bosseliminator]

@@matthewvalentine598 most likely from picking it up on and off the trailer. Extended the cylinders and not together as the tractor wasn’t hooked up apply hydraulic pressure to all the cylinders. Feel bad for all the work he’s doing going down the wrong path to fix it. Met Duffy at 100 years of horse power. Good guy!

[@gregkoenig9200]

@@matthewvalentine598 they can get out of sync just setting over winter by some oil seeping around a piston. Usually will rephase like you suggest and work for planting season. The only way it won't if a packing on a piston is blown

You should definitely widen out and load those tires for the side hills… might want to look at the governor on the injection pump… might of been the camera but sounded like it was unevenly idling and clearing up as you gave it throttle…

[@MrBcorbett32]

Keep plugging away man. Hard work pays off. One thing at a time. Great video. Priorities tho man. Plow, planter, truck. Good planting weather is right around the corner. Not sure how much you are intending to plant, but dirt needs turning. Always love watching you bud.

The Manheim deeres are good little tractors. A local dairy here put a gajillion hours on a 2950

I believe your friend Austin is a wonderful person though very shy. I know you thanked him many many times however I also believe he chooses to help you but from a place of quiet supportive friendship. I respect him a great deal as do you, that shows in your interaction with each other.

yup, that was before 2000! JD changed their logo in 2000- that logo was from 68-2000! You know JD bought Lanze Co.1955 in Germany because Lanz was a one cylinder tractor! John Deere wanted to get into overseas sales!

Very nice little tractor! You should love it.

[@mowerjeff8990]

Looks like you got a nice loader tractor. It should pull that planter just fine.

[@dougbekius49]

I wouldn’t worry about that tractor pulling the planter. With 4wd and not having fertilizer or big seed boxes on the planter you should crawl up just about anything

[@jeffrankin967]

Yeah that tractor won't have any problems with that little planter

[@gregkoenig9200]

@@jeffrankin967 especially if he takes the loader off for 2 weeks to plant. It will pull 8 rows anywhere anywhere at 5 mph except thru mud

I like leaving the loader and bucket on it’s a good way to carry tools and extra seed

I see farms with way newer equipment not being able to get parts

[@brians8123]

Melnasse this weekend has a couple 2wd jd and other stuff

[@prjndigo]

Yup yup. For a loader and yard tractor you want the option of being able to set your ratio and make it stick, etc. Learning all the plow parts, lawl. "frame, wheel, hydraulics, shares" all you need to know. It would be worth watching out for a dual chamber with double screen yard incinerator... you're planning on being out there a long time.

92 was the last year. Really impressive condition. Coolant flush would be highly recommended if not already done. Looks like a 16 speed though.

[@bigteddy66]

That's a big enough tractor for the size of your farm without any other.

[@MrMatthewBritton]

Is it a power syncron with a splitter? Should either have a stumpy shift leaver by the hand throttle or the older ones you used to knock the main gear lever left or right to give you the clutch less split. At least that’s how it worked on European spec tractors. One of my all time favorites!

[@nigelmchugh5541]

The 50 series (55 in the US) all had the extra little stubby lever for the Hi-Lo, I think.

[@davidthorne2129]

Hi from Aussie Chris. Here’s a trick an old engineer taught me years ago. To get out broken of studs etc drill out with reverse twist drill. Use just smaller size drill and when you’re nearly through it will suddenly unwind out of the hole leaving clean undamaged thread. When I saw it first time it was a revelation. I’ve bought myself a set of them. Don’t use much but when needed are a god send. As far as parts go, out here there is one rubber part on the engine of a ford ranger 3.2 litre diesel 5 cylinder that’s on the air intake side that is unavailable in Australia and no arrival time for it and no after market stock either as all sold out. My dealer now has three rangers waiting for that part. Can still drive it gently but now blows heaps black smoke negating all the pollution gear on it.

[@millennialcarpenter1784]

all i have to say is dont take shit apart till you have the parts other then that your killing it chris keep it up bud

[@wallyyuriy8912]

Neat tractor. I have a 2040S which is about 35 years old and still puttering along. In the 50 series the UK had 20/26/28/30/31/36 ranging from 70 hp to 120 hp but no 2750's. The 30's were 6 cylinder engines and sounded like a tractor should. One question, why des the US not have pick-up hitches, especially on the lower hp models ?

[@gm558]

do those even have a master clyander for the clutch? i thought it was similar to the later ones with hydraulic clutcehs in the bell housing and then just a dump valve.
