    Your channel just keeps getting better and better! I just love your jokes 😂 I bug my family with them! Also I’m really enjoying your new camera shots! Four pictures in one, spinning wheel, and the aerial shots while you were cutting your fields. Love it!
    I always look forward to your channel friend! Have a great day!

    Pete, your peeps remind me of a novice farmer who decided to try to raise chickens. He went to the feed store, and came back with dozens and dozens of chicks. About two weeks later he went back to buy more. The proprietor then asked him what went wrong. The farmer said he wasn't sure. He said he either planted them too deep, or he overwatered them.

    We fertilize just the same as you do. When we planted corn sometimes a little chemical fertilizer but when we didn't plant corn we quit with chemical fertilizer. Plant a good legume like clover we do ok with just manure. We mostly do hay and a little oats and we do ok. Even the rocks grow nice and thick.

    Ask me about the time (1964) I was raking hay with a side-delivery rake and the narrow front in on the Farmal hit a hole that was covered over by the mowed hay. the next thing I remember was flying through the air over the top of the exhaust pipe, doing a full summersault and landing on my feet with the tractor still coming at me but with out any front wheels. They broke clean off, with the tractor plowing a dead furrow towards me. thank the Lord was able to jump out of the way as the tractor drove by me. Then I had to run along side the tractor and shut it off. Fun on the farm!!!

    On my grandparents farm we had a pasture of about 10 acres along the roadway. Towards the house there was a big rock in there that we had to be careful around each year mowing, and Dad finally had enough and decided it was time for him to come out and drag him away. It was HUGE! It took two tractors to finally lug him out of the hole and haul him away. My grandmother was still with us at the time and I remember her laughing as we finally moved him out. I was glad too because I was so sick of hitting that thing.

    Oh and personally I love steering wheel spinners, especially when running a loader tractor, makes it easier in my opinion to steer and use the loader, and when it right spaces it really helps. Need to get one for my Allis B. Might make turning with the sickel a bit easier

    👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Important note when spreading manure on a windy day, drive into the wind! On the dairy we hauled manure daily and it could be a bit juicy and well you learned real quick to check the wind! Also when I left for college my dad bought a tractor with a cab and hydraulic front end loader, we loaded manure by hand, using a pitchfork, not a hydraulic loader when I was home.

    When I bought my MD, it was used in a corn picking operation so like all Nebraska corn farmers, they put a suicide nob on it that came from a seed corn company. Anyway, the other thing I bought it with was a "Kosch Steering Assist" which after some research, I found out it is like a secondary gearbox that prevents your wheels from getting cought on a row or anything, therefore, saving your wrists from feedback from the wheels. It will not fight you, but you cannot fight it either.

    My worst case scenario on my farm is coming to fruition. My Wife passed away on March 1st. and i've got an incredibly large offer for my Farm here in Coastal Maine so i'm having to finish up the work on the house and pack up all of my stuff in the house and farm buildings and figure out a schedule of values on everything to determine what's worth paying to haul it down to Virginia and decide what to sell. It's funny how a terrible event like a Pandemic can effect Farm values and prices. Up here where just a year ago a Farmall Super C went for $2500 completely restored and now a unrestored one is going for $6000 or more simply because newer tractor prices have gone thru the roof and parts aren't available and most Farmall parts are plentiful. It's a strange new world we live in for sure.
