Thank you, Richard, for taking us with you to the sale. It was interesting to see all the implements, not so new, and those collectibles that might go in a garden, painted, and no longer functional. My neighbor in Florida, who came from a farming background as many of us older folk did, had an old plow, cleaned up, painted, and sitting in a "place of distinction on a stone gravel altar" in the corner of his front yard. Makes you wonder if maybe it was something that had belonged to his dad that he couldn't part with... And, yes, I do agree that a "farming" get together is a great way to meet up with community and something that is so important in these times of isolation. So again, thank you, for taking us with you and for sharing. Looking forward to part 2.

[@ronnieg6358]

Having been to many farm auctions the sound of that bell gives me a great twinge of excitement!

[@elizabethmaybrown6715]

Absolutely loved this video, bought back so many memories, my Dad had an McCormick International 434 to use with scraper, trailer and dung spreader, quite often chain harrows and flat roller too, most jobs for the dairy herd he did, love the old International combine too

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Thanks. Great memories there

[@ianinnes8063]

Farm sales are a great day out on a fine weather day . Lots of bargains usually . Thers some nice older kit there . Hope u both had a great day .

[@cajun-n-va.8091]

Hello from America . Love the videos. Harry is a wealth of knowledge about farming equipment.. This reminded me of Clarkson Farms videos . I have to thank you for pointing that out after the farm shop video. You have me binge watching the videos now. Keep up the great work!!!!!

[@thefunkyfarmer]

Cool, thanks

[@fredorico41]

We love our old IH tractors and trucks in Australia 🇦🇺 too.

[@alicegamble6145]

A farm action is a great place for the farm community to get together & visit etc.

[@jouster100]

I feel for the farmer, he was pretty choked up at times. Lovely looking well kept fields and farm. Thanks for the video Richard

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario Canada. I have a IH 574, great tractor but hard starters in winter without plugging them in. Interesting to see difrrerent things. Thanks I will try to watch 2nd one

[@henryjohnsen6397]

i have one of those tractors the international 374 great tractor till the hand break went last week with a full load of bales on the back lies on her side in the dich ( bugger)

[@jesshowe4591]

Looking forward to part 2. Farm sale is always a good day out although sometimes it is better to buy new depends how much you going to use the item.

[@RedShedProjectsScotland]

Great day out at a farm sale, fine getting to speak with the owner. Thanks for sharing.

[@julianhawker7672]

The IH 523 hydro is a rare beast, 30 years ahead of its time! I had one and it was a good tractor but got hard to find spares. I saw a restored one make VERY strong money.

[@byamrcn]

Obviously a bittersweet day for Fred...good luck to you sir, hope you have a happy semi-retirement, all the best.

[@scuttlesoft]

I work for an auctioneer/estate agents up here in the fens but we dont do many farm sales now I used to run our farm sales and this bought back many memories.Ive probably arranged hundreds of sales over the years. Hope there will be a burger van there. Oh there it is lol

[@thefunkyfarmer]

[@scuttlesoft]

@@thefunkyfarmer Yes i did have fun with the harrows

Must say in the Netherlands you only see these kind of equipment on oldtimer conventions.

[@buff2497]

Great video. Can’t beet a farm sale

[@patrickcormack7637]

It's a sad day. Any sales like this one in our town are held in the mart. Int 674 was first tractor i drove. My uncle showed me how to drive it in hay field. I was 10 our 12 at the time

[@davidedge2189]

Same for me.We used to cart silage in salop trailers pulled by the IH .Then it became the scraper tractor ,but the front wheel bearings didn’t last because of the slurry.I can’t remember where we sold it.

[@calumanderson5617]

I like the International's, last few farm auctions I went too every there was a group who for their fun just jacked up the bids for their fun of seeing you paying too much, I did tryed to bid on a single cambridge roller once for a small job but when I saw who was bidding against me with their mates grinning away, I stopped, only for him saying out loud " s#!t I'm stuck with it !!!! " and I grinned away thinking to myself serves you right !!! 😁👍

[@laytonphillips6667]

Great video Richard.

[@tractorman810]

You better watch your step old man. Harry will be ready to take over before he even needs a shave.

[@sweed58]

That was a tattie digger with the wheel sticking up

[@robcooper5813]

Harry should be an auctioneer when he grows up.

[@wilfcottrell2669]

He should be a farmer and an auctioneer in his spare time when he’s older

[@fusion7865]

It seems your farm sales are abit smaller than where I am

[@thefunkyfarmer]

i wouldn't say this was a typical sale

[@russellpetrie119]

850 no pipes on that seed drilller

[@ianhaggart1438]

Now if they stuck "modern art" on the title of the sale surely it would of doubled the sale price at least. 😜😅. Nice weather sales also increases prices alot. Was there such a thing as a bargain there in your eyes? Thanks for letting us wander with you. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@johndeere1951a]

Old rusty is king for yard art👍 just looking at an old disk harrow or hay rake in your front yard reminds you of long hours, years, seasons of hard back breaking toil. If all that old equipment could talk. It's not junk, but Junque🇬🇧🇺🇲👍

[@leomcnally4999]

The 674 was 78hp

[@edbalcombe4068]

harry will be a farmer

[@ronnieg6358]

So sad for poor Fred to lose his brother in an accident. Likely a farm accident, BE CAREFUL!

[@johndeere1951a]

Very exciting!! I collect petrolenia, old Castrol, Shell oil cans etc.. Oh please buy Harry his first vintage tractor. He would quit school and work with it everyday, probable sleep in it. Oh please buy him a tractor, it will be the shinniest kit in the yard 👍🤣✌️👍😢👍👍🇺🇲 The farmer Fred is sad to be 72, 2 years older than me. Sad to see your life, your passion sold off, end of your era don't you know💚😢👍💔

[@jaffab]

QUESTION: Watching video - you may cover this in vid, but.... how do you hear about the sale?

Hi Richard one day I want to be a farmer and I was wondering if you had any advice on where to start?

[@AceMyHigh]

Good luck if you dont have any acres

[@lewiscartwright3609]

@@AceMyHigh OK thanks 👍 That's not quite what I was expecting but thanks for the tip 👍

[@AceMyHigh]

@@lewiscartwright3609 if you don't mind working for someome, alot of big farms (8-10,000 acres) are always looking for helping around harvest and can maybe keep you on

[@lewiscartwright3609]

OK thanks for letting me know and I don't mind working for someone else if it means giving my mum some peace and quiet then I will be willing to give it a go

[@thefunkyfarmer]

just try and get some experience on as many farms as you can

[@leomcnally4999]

You were at a farm that was selling machines that were long gone past their sell by date...not very interesting for buyers who want a modern machine at a good price.😪😪😪
