No cab, no problem

A lot of odd jobs get done. We fixed an old bale feeder that needed some welding on, and greased some machines. Ran the drag through the yard with the ol' 544. Moved some pairs and shot at a pigeon.

If I was a new guy on a farm and they told me my first job was to drag some mud around on a tractor I'd assume it was a made up job. Cool vid to see some stuff that you wouldn't think needs to get done.

Drag works great . Did not know about the Give away . Thats a sweet old tractor . Looks like it would be a great resto / refurbish and put her butt back to work tractor . Course Ive never ran a tractor with a cab and all these new fangled switchs and buttons . I am a lever man myself LOL . Im not a Fopp I am a Dapper Dan man .

[@danfinley3690]

Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to give us an update

[@lewislindsey1946]

Cole, I am glad you worked the reference about the "giveaway" tractor into your video. That is a great "hook" and the more you use it the better. I would just say from past experience, never turn your back on a cow with a calf. Good cows - bad cows, take nothing for granted during calving season. The most "dependable" cow can surprise you. I know you are very well aware of that, but some viewers might not be. 812/2 likes at 3:30 EDST - 400 to 1 - extremely strong numbers.

[@johnjablonski2155]

I taught my self to weld by welding two pieces of metal together and throwing it across the shop as hard as I could. If they stayed together I figured it was a good weld. My welds are not pretty either. I am getting better at it. Wire Welding is almost like soldering. only hotter

[@SonneFarms]

[@marv1405]

When you killed the tractor pulling the drag it appeared you were trying to turn right but weren't using the foot brake for the right wheel. Turns lots better if you use the foot brake.

[@SonneFarms]

I thought I was hammering on the right break pretty good

[@baraktzfanya3980]

You should learn how to shift gear on such a nice old Tractor - Shift gear on time, and you'll have a nice ride. As a former farmer, I like to see new guys starting Farmings life. I enjoy your Cannel very much. PS. Never weld beside a Flameable material like straw and/or hay.

Found your video on how you got going in utube, answered a number of my questions. See SDSU extended spring break to March 20 so you'll be home to help with calving. Should we expect more videos while you're home? ;>). Also came across your post-tornado video and now I understand why your place layout looks a bit different now than it does on Google Earth (which is 2013 photo). Hope you and family are able to avoid the corona virus or at least it doesn't hit you too hard.

[@SonneFarms]

Yea I will be having more videos out! I haven't explained that in any of my videos but because of that tornado, and the insurance we had, we were able to rebuild newer and better looking buildings. Thank you, I hope you and your family are safe too!

[@nelsonferris2606]

I’m wondering why they wouldn’t clean that hay off of the feeder wagon before backing it into the shop for welding. Good way to start a fire in the shop.
