Rain Finally/Green Chopping Hay

[@richdillon2157]

I would love to have the ole Farmall H that I learned to drive on the farm 60 years ago, Those were grand days when I was a young boy. I miss those days, A simpler time in life.

[@robertwilliams3322]

The old B is a member of the family Working history 😊

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

CUTE LITTLE KITTY !!!;

[@josephtherrien879]

I love seeing old farm equipment still working the farm. The history of that B could really tell some stories. It's supported many years of farming for your family. Because of the old equipment this is one of my favorite farming KZbin channels, and your wholesome family values. Thank you!

[@ralphriddle8864]

I love working with the older tractor my self and God bless y'all

[@colorado1088]

I think that's what the world needs...an inch of rain and one coat of paint.

[@heyerstandards]

The sun brings its light every day, but rain is how the LORD sends us bread.

[@mikekuhn6216]

When my dad retired from farming in 1973, he owned a 1958 Farmall 450 and a 1955 Allis WD 45.. Most of his machinery was "older", some was even operating when he began farming in 1946. He never felt the need to have shiny, new equipment because his vintage machinery was still getting the job done. If you have the skill-set to keep it all running, go for it, Alan. Thanks again for taking the time to keep your videos focused on your present line of machinery and long live the "B"!

[@virginiagraber9070]

Yes, yes, farm workers, Farm worker,Boys, girls. 💪👍Thanks (Naaman)

[@curtiswolf313]

The sentimental value of the B alone is reason enough to keep it.

[@jasoncarmody-mj3nj]

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Why go into debt if you don’t have to.

[@glenmomrik727]

Great watching your son on the B making sure he's in neutral before you hook and unhook great job teaching

[@Chico-td2fy]

Heck ya keep the old machines running ! Happy Independence Day ya'll! 🐄🐃🐂

[@garybridger6707]

Nice to see the mud puddle excavation crew is gainfully employed again!!

[@trinitydairy]

He was so desperate to drain puddles he had been playing in the gutter!

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

The B is still doing its job and making new memories for your son. I think it’s so cool that 4 generations have used it ❤

[@Dextamartijn]

I always like seeing all the vintage tractors and machinery. They will keep on going. You are correct they owe us nothing.

[@petrokemikal]

Ecellent bit of filming at the start !! That was very well done.. 👍And to add a comment on the old equiptment being usless debate.. It all gets the job done.. You can repair them yourself, they have already paid for themselves, and your not meeting the bank manager every couple of months to discuss finances.. You will do fine in life if you dont fall victim to consumerisim.. Those that do, are on an endless chase for newer or bigger better than before.. Running around feeling unfulfilled with empty pockets..

[@auggieknapp9638]

That old tractor will be running when the new ones are scrap !

[@HelloNNNewman]

So cool seeing farm kids get big enough to reach the pedals on a tractor and start using them for farm jobs. Even better when the o old tractor is the same his great grandfather, grandpa, and dad all used. Some seriously great memories with a fantastic old tractor. I'm with you on seeing no reason to get rid of it but a lot of reasons to keep using it and keep the tradition alive. I love that stuff! God's peace to you and your family!

[@America-TG]

the Lord watches over his children. Blessings.

[@francishier4698]

On the old tractor to many think hey got to keep up with the Joneses of the world

[@gregkortbein5108]

I green chopped for 40 years. A good way to feed cows in the summer.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Now that my hands are free I will jump in here again. While you were talking about your B I was cleaning the carburetor on our Minnie Mo Z. I am with you 100%. At least those old tractors and machinery were no nonsense that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to fix. They still have a place and can do the job. We are proud that our newest tractors were built during the Reagan administration and before and we get along just fine. Maybe it is "junk" to some but they are treasured by us.

[@raymondscott8584]

Alan, I love watching your channel as much for your family as the cows and equipment. I’m 9 years younger than the B but see it as a valuable machine for certain aspects of your operation. Shiny and new is great but your business plan needs a return on investment. Your investment in your equipment and sweat equity in repairs is a very strong return. More power to you. On another note, watching this video flooded me with emotions. I would have been doing the exact same thing as your son in 1965. Helping dad and contributing and learning were all I wanted to do. You and Jen should be very proud of your kids. Keep on farming and I’ll keep on watching.

[@messengercreekexotics]

Nothing like the old equipment. The new tractors have some creature comforts and some features that make it possible to be more efficient/accurate. But nothing beats the simplicity of the old tractors. They can still serve a useful function.

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

Nothing wrong with the little B farmall in it's WORK CLOTHES !!!!!!❤😊

[@smithyboy657]

Stop listening to others you have more than they could ever dream of having 👍👍

[@TimKrenz-j8t]

Finally YOU GOT SOME RAIN 😊❤

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Lol alan, we cultivated urea into our corn last week with our old b&c. Then since we like you have finally gotten some rain we're almost done with the first cut nothing to combined so we had a little time today so we took the baby gave it a bath and took it to the parade and neighboring town. So after parade in the picnic for those of us guys that were driving tractors in the parade we are back home and have a little work done this evening wishing you the best glad you're getting water and we will pray for some more

[@rctractorwizard]

Love to see the farmall B pulling its way around the farm. When I was growing up, my dad had a Farmall C that was set up as a 4 row cultivator. Personally, I prefer older equipment because it was designed to be simple and work flawlessly. Just know that you are helping your son create memories that will last his whole lifetime. God bless you and your family🙏 #NoFarmersNoFood

[@douglasmacarthur8775]

Farmall C with a 4 row cultivator? I have never seen any Farmalll smaller than an M with a 4 row cultivator.

[@forrestbachtel2946]

​@@douglasmacarthur87759ookkk🎉

[@bryanginder5903]

Nothing wrong with your equipment Allen!! Guys that dairy farm know vary well that you have to watch what you spend! Farming now days isn't farming!! Especially from the younger generation if it doesn't have a cab with all the bells and whistles gps and a big payment that's not farming!! Every part of the country is different that's for sure!

[@canadianHAWK3]

[@larrysmith8728]

My uncle had a Farmall B just like that but didn't have the wheel Wights on it. when I was about eight years old I would ride on the axle on the left side. They used it for gardening. I'm almost 75 now. Life was a lot more simpler then. We didn't get electricity until after 1955 And in 1958 we got a bathroom in the house and a pump in water well. We had a kerosene cook stove my grandmother had a wood cook stove. God bless you and yours.❤

[@danielhurrle7008]

A lot of people don't understand about these tractors. You have Alot of history with that stuff like Alan said. Best things about the tractors like this is they are tried and true, and paid for. I bought a knew tractor 7 years ago and spent many years paying for it. We all have tractors that we grew up on or around that we would love to find. The B is a great learning tractor for the kids to learn on. Great video hopefully the rain keeps coming for everyone.

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

Very nice. We got some rain but not very much. I liked your comments about the old tractors. I completely agree. I doubt that a new tractor today will be still working in 77 years.

[@dr.michaelr.foreman2170]

You are one of the few smart farmers. Too many farmers bury themselves in debt by always having to have the newest and best. It is smarter to buy old but good then new and in debt.// I forgot to add: This is one of my favourite videos the way it is broken up and edited made it a joy to watch. Besides the kids with the calves, the rain shots were excellent. My hat is off to the Mrs. for excellent camera work.

[@markallen6961]

The "b" has no ad-blue, no ECUs, no DPF, no electronics, and best of all no monthly payments. you cant beet that.👍

[@adamkonopko3580]

Beautiful words about B👍

[@Classifiedreality]

Good stuff, content, very enjoyable....farm life....🚜👨‍🌾🚜, thank you for taking us along...😍😍🚜👨‍🌾🚜

[@TT-qo9dv]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦, very cost effective equipment

[@gordoncarpenter1552]

I totally agree with you about the old equipment that's all I farm with

[@brianrobinson6136]

Justin sure did a good job training that calf to lead. He's a real farmer!

[@trinitydairy]

He really did. Getting a beef animal ready for show is very different than a dairy heifer.

[@ryanbachman9227]

Nothing wrong with using old iron. I’ve seen a lot of guys go broke trying to keep up to the neighbors buying new equipment. It’s easier to work on as long as you have availability to parts. God bless

[@oddJOB7036]

That B doesn't owe you a thing. You're philosophy is spot on, on old equipment. We were the same way. Every

[@johnsaunders5210]

There is always little jobs that require a runabout tractor. You look at some of these newer tractors and they won't be around in ten years. Nothing wrong with good well built older and maintained equipment.

[@dennisshull5994]

Why go into debt when the old tractors and equipment can still do the job! Plus the older tractors were built much better than a lot of the new stuff, I love seeing the older equipment still being used! When I was a teenager in the 70's I learned on three John Deere tractors from the 1930's and 40's. (A, B and G) 👍😎

[@robertguidry4577]

Love watching your children on the farm, reminds me of my younger days as a kid. Wish I had raised my children that way. not that my children aren't good adults, parents and grand-parents, I just took a wrong turn in life.

[@SteveGibbons-td9tk]

Lived with my grandparents as a child and he had a b farmall which is what I learned to drive with about 8 or 9 years of age. At there farm auction my aunt bought the tractor and years later my cousin bought it and has restored it. I really think the reason I am farming today is because of learning to drive that tractor and falling in love with what can be accomplished with farming equipment.

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

One reason to not buy new unless you need new, it works and it is affordable. That is a good reason. My dad had an old JD -B. It didn't look great, but he plowed, racked and planted, and it was used to cut wood for our house. He loved it. When he passed away, one of his friends took it to restore it. Bet it is still working.

[@808TheDuck]

Love the old Farmall and the suspenders!

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊

[@kevinanderson89]

Feel the same about my old IH "M" Paid $1100 for it with load dual loader on it and it gets used almost daily for feeding or whatever is needed done in a hurry. Old equipment has a place and its easy and cheap to work on.

[@aezeldenrust]

awesome stuff never throw away perfectly good stuff it can always be used. maybe only for fun stuff or some important work.

[@MichaelDoering-js2gl]

Hi Guys, great video. Sometimes people want you to get rid of an old piece of equipment because they want to buy it. One day , take that old tractor and sandblast it, and a new coat of paint and it will look like a million bucks. It is part of your heritage and your kids. Take care. ❤😊🇨🇦

[@davidbrock8558]

Allen you are one of a kind I love old farm equipment I got a 8 n ford I learn to drive on and I love it people give me hard time I don’t need it but it ant them to tell me what I need I’m 56 years old I like to look back in time I had a good time on that old farm equipment

[@jimwerner636]

Alan you and your family are truly blessed to live the life you love and that family is more important than material things. You're family and Livestock mean more to you than a new tractor or other vehicle's. To see ur son driving that tractor and the smile on his face there is nothing more satisfying than that so continue to do the things u do and believe in God and things will always work out and keep things simple. Love the videos and God bless you and your family

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

Alan, that farmall b is perfectly fine. It does what you want it to. It's really nice to see that the kids are doing 4H.

[@theda850two]

I actually did LOL when I saw Kitty come out from under the hosta leaves :)

[@steve7settle394]

I feel the same way you do brother

[@oddJOB7036]

Yep, someday the sons can do the work and you all the fixing just like my dad did.

[@justinvickery446]

I think it's a very good-looking tractor. And your so right it's getting ridiculous how much is made to be thrown away. I believe in fixing it first.

[@dlzastera]

Alan very well said on old equipment, I feel the same. The memories and history are priceless. Kids 4h projects for the county fair. 👍

[@timothyeng282]

That was great when the girls came to examine the camera. i loved watching your son drive the tractor and him giving you the thumbs up :)

[@tcsmith4838]

Sorry one more comment😊 I love seeing the kids work/play with the animals even if they are crazy😂 it’s the best way to grow up! warms my heart every time👍

[@richp6555]

Alan, Bless you and your family. The older stuff won't leave you in the field because a sensor or computer control unit decided to not work. The new, plastic clad and computer controlled crap they're turning out now [and giving you a hard time about repairing it yourself] won't even be running in 40 years much less running productively. Glad to see you received some rain. Sure hope everyone else will get some. Happy Independence Day.

[@ronzezulka6646]

Great to see you got some moisture. Mother nature plays her part.

[@richardgash2349]

on our farm we could easily buy brand new but we use old reliable equipment good video today ty for sharing

[@grantpowers]

Good video Jen,, I hit the like button,, looking forward to the next one

[@markflick1641]

It’s good to see Justin running equipment . We had a B when I was very young,nice to see the old equipment still carrying there weight.Keep running the old stuff as long as the arthritis doesn’t get in there wheels .😂😂 God Bless

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

The hosta and garden are beautiful. Gods watering can does the best job. We sure do appreciate you folks.

[@discoverybricks3694]

I love the editing with all the different scenes!

[@bonniehibma3580]

So thankful along with you for your rain

[@bendugas8632]

A young farmer in the making, it is great to see that learning them at an early age is good work habits.

[@fudgelfarmandacres]

I'm currently buying older equipment to restart our farm. I would rather farm with equipment that doesn't need a computer to repair. Good work, beautiful farm and a wonderful family.

[@rogerhance2057]

The brown swiss cow milking heard is that Jolene’s heifer

[@trinitydairy]

No. That's Countess. Jolene's heifer is still here she's s getting ready for fair and will be bred sometime here.

[@leonjennings4632]

Thank You for sharing this video with Us It was Nice seeing everyday Chores being Done on the Farm and as for the Lil Farmall it's a Great Tractor to Have on the Farm for some of the Smaller chores that has to be done it fits in tighter places an as you were showing us Great Tractor to Have Your Son Start Out on Learning how to not only Drive But All the Uses and Chores It can and is used For Back in the early 70's I Started Out on a SC Case Raking teding Hauling Hay Wagons Back to the Field and Some of the newer ones Are crap So if it's not Broken don't fix It Blessings To Y'all And Please Be Safe ✌️

[@The543ferris]

LOve the Farmall B, only seven years older than me. That young man is doing a good job and has a good teacher. Love your channel. Wow what a garden! Happy you got some rain. Weve had so much here my garden is drowning but we are blessed to have it anyhow.

[@bapasrcadventures3619]

Man I find that old equipment so interesting. I bet the new stuff won’t be around in 70 years. My son in-law just bought a 1949 Allis chalmers C tractor with a brush hog and it runs so nice. He also has a 1945 ford tractor. We have our local steam and gas show coming up. High light of the year for his family of six kids! Lots of old tractors. Steam powered and all. And the steam powered ice cream maker is always a treat. God bless and hope you had a great 4th of July.

[@richardjohnson5883]

The old equipment was designed to last. We have a 39 M that my great grandmother bought new. It’s like your B, looks the same it always has but still does everything we need it to do. Same with the larger IH tractors, take care of them and they will run forever.

[@Dick-z1n]

You have a blessed life,I would love to be in your place. God bless you all.

[@richardbailey7558]

Cows are nosy. You gotta love em

[@don66hotrod94]

Glad to hear you got some rain. We got .9 tenths, but it is all used up in 1 week. Need more badly, thanks for the positive thoughts.

[@farawayfarm2520]

That old B gets a little workout over every kind of terrain pulling that feeder wagon. I think it only makes it through because of the driver. 👍😁🇺🇸

[@hartungdairyfarm0713]

Some people call it junk, I call it paid for 👌gotta love those old tractors

[@jeffreymartin9558]

I really like those red suspenders!❤

[@normawoody823]

We want to see the horses 😂

[@markenge9348]

It's interesting to watch Justin's "1 cheek on, 1 cheek off" half assed sitting style on that A. It takes him half the ride home to get recentered. Butt whatever floats your boat😅😊😂

[@markenge9348]

Happy 4th of July, Justin, and don't let any firecrackers go off in your fingers like I foolishly did.

[@timothygeorge1191]

💯💯💯💯. Happy 4th 🎆

[@williamhitchcock2360]

Great you are using the old equipment. We live in Texas and each summer we head to central Mexico to help on the rancho. (we own part of it) We plant beans, wheat, barley, and oats mix for cattle feed. We cut the oat, barley, wheat with an McCormick-Deering reaper/binder Model EM-4. Serial number makes it build 1937 to 1957. It's a joy to use and if properly maintained works really well (we always trouble shoot each year before use) My brother in law runs a JD 1010 (1962) hard to crank but is still strong. As for me you can not beat the old stuff--it was made to last. Take care and hope you have a great crop year.

[@canvids1]

I was born in 1940 lived on a farm and my first tractor was a small Case tractor/4 cylinder and it was the first tractor that I got to drive I was 8 years old on a side rake and it was the only one that I could reach the peddles and it was the size of your tractor. Might be old but it still works and there are no payments.

[@maynardreed4036]

Almost every farm here in Vermont has at least one old tractor like that kicking around.

[@tomhough3649]

I admire your mechanical ingenuity keeping the old equipment going… I know being a small dairy farmer the bottom line profit margins are small so you have to do what ever you can to make it. God bless you.

[@terrydarow8401]

I'm glad u guys finally got some rain❤

[@randybedker1584]

The older stuff you can work on with just a few tools. You don't need a computer to diagnose everything.

[@nashcobb3056]

thank you

[@kurtreinhardt6789]

Nothing wrong with older equipment

[@michaelgrant4825]

That little "old" tractor is a tool of your trade just as a torque wrench is to a mechanic, a chain saw to a logger, an apron to meat cutter, etc. Besides, that tractor is the just the right size for Justin. I did want to compliment you on the cleanliness of your cows. They look pretty content and healthy eating that green chop. As far as the rain that you got - we all know that the Lord works in mysterious ways!

[@chrisoosterlaken1301]

Another great video ... your kids will be prepared for life, for sure! Great job!

[@trentonromig9765]

I agree with you Allen i personally love the older equipment easier to work on and cheaper a little bit of elbow grease goes a long ways we have older equipment and we do fine and live seeing your boy driving the b that’s so awesome ❤😊
