@@crazydave4455 I like it!! Way better than trying to cram a tractor in the other way in a tight spot like we have. I also like the augers people have mounted on tractors..
That's a pretty cool video Dave, I've never seen a PTO setup like that one before, and I didn't know that New Idea made grain augers, you learn something new every day! Thanks Dave 👍🚜
White's .. I remember the day gramps bought his last new tractor 2-155 like it was yesterday. I put a lot of hours on her chisel plowing and occasional malboard plowing. New Sub :)
@@TheGrumpyFarmer Pretty much done already, beans are a hired out job. Right off the field to a truck and gone. Clean up continues… Hope dad enjoys the free time, he’s been taking care of animals since he was a kid. Thanks Andy.
Old school batch dryer. Most now have much more capacity and run on 3 phase power. Basically blows a big fire ball into the inner screen and the tractor powers an auger that keeps the corn moving to heat and dry it until the moisture level is suitable for storage.
Love watching your 4400 work and the Oliver collection is sweet. Just found you and subscribed. I’m down to my last Oliver, a 1755 that’s still a workhorse for us. Also have a 4400 which can be seen in oats from last year on our YT channel. Take a look when you get time. When/where is the next plow day?
Thanks. They plow day usually gets planned mid summer, when someone volunteers a field or two. Almost always in Wright County. Come see the club at the Wright County Fair (tent setup on the west side of the grounds) Or email me (about tab) in July and we should have some idea by then. I’ll check your channel out later tonight 👍
I really like the video, im still sad it's the last harvest though! Do you plan on keeping some or all of your equipment? And it's awesome to see the R getting a workout.
The long time family tractors will be kept, (green ones) along with the hay equipment. Dad plans on doing some offsite hay making still for some hay customers. Thanks MD
@@rswany16 it’s funny, I never set out to have a channel, certainly never thought it could hit 1000 subs. I’ll probably continue on with some ag related videos. Farm visits, shows, projects, collections. If people stick around I’ll do it as long as it’s fun.
Felt lost when my wife's dad retired in 2001. Loved doing farm work with him. He had a couple of 2-105's. I loved working those tractors. Your dad gonna keep at least one cab tractor?
Don’t plan on it, room is an issue and don’t really have a use for them. The Oliver’s have a longer family history, can be more easily transported to shows and club events. The larger Whites not so much. Unfortunately you can’t keep them all. The 2-135 has been there since 83.
Could dry a batch in 2 hours in this warm weather. Yeah, been busy out there the last few weeks. Moving stuff, hauling scrap etc. They have been waiting a long time for that piece. Roads leading into it for years. Glad grandpa doesn’t have to see it. I’m overdue for some UA-cam watching… Thanks Shane.
Is your family selling the farm or just retiring? I could still see planting a few acres and running that older equipment as kind of a seasonal tourist thing. I have thought about a corn maze and maybe a pumpkin patch myself.
Man I love watching the old and new farm equipment at work
A lot of change in a short time. The old stuff gets it done, just takes longer.
Grandpa was a smart man great idea
Morning Dave great footage as always and love seeing the old equipment still working
Thanks Ron. Payments 💴 on the old stuff are great 😁 cost = oil changes yearly. The auger tractor was payed off in 1954 😂
Awesome video, Love seeing older farm equipment at work!
Thanks
Cool video,cool machinery!.💯
Thanks Lee
@@crazydave4455 You are quite welcome!.🤗😎
Love the drone footage
Thanks Kevin
That was pretty neat. Love the PTO on the auger tractor.
Grandpas conversion. Better PTO angle and it really helped keep the tractor out of the way when we loaded the other bin.
Best setup for the auger!! Keeps it out of the way and lined up much better!!!
If grandpa thought it could be improved, he improved it 😂

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin thanks Ed. Looks like you got the JD running, I’ll be checking it out shortly!
@@crazydave4455 a few little things, but yes, runs great 👍
Awesome footage! Liked seeing the R on the grain dryer.👍 How many bushels does that grain bin hold?
The dryer holds a little over 400 the bin holds 5000.
Thanks Erik. Fun to work the old tractors once in a while. Dad added the bushel numbers.
That's a pretty cool video Dave, I've never seen a PTO setup like that one before, and I didn't know that New Idea made grain augers, you learn something new every day! Thanks Dave 👍🚜
Grandpa bolted a 540 PTO spline to the flat belt pulley to run that auger. Matches the PTO height better. Thanks Matt.
I loved what your grandpa did with that pto genius. I've never seen anything like that before.
If he thought he could improve upon something, he did!
hey. New subscriber. Thanks for sharing. Love to see the older combines still running. My 4420 is still chugging along.
Thanks Steven. We are a little behind the times over here 😁
Harvest time is such a rewarding time, seeing the results of all that hard work. Great to see all the different equipment in operation.
Thanks for the harvest video hate to see it end 🌽🌽🇺🇸
White's .. I remember the day gramps bought his last new tractor 2-155 like it was yesterday. I put a lot of hours on her chisel plowing and occasional malboard plowing. New Sub :)
Thanks Terry. The 2-155 is very similar to the 2-135. Those Hercules can lug!
As always great video. And drone footage was great
Thanks. I’m getting braver again after my crash 😂
That looks sooo much fun
👋 good to see you found your way back. 😁
@@crazydave4455 it's just too bad this is the last harvest oh well least you had good memories
@@pinseekergaming4760 maybe doing something again in the future I hope
Moving right along with the old girl that was my second ever combine at it was way better than the old gleaner I started with 🤣
That’s all the newer we made it🤣 That’s a 4400 diesel, eats it pretty good still!
@@crazydave4455 That’s what I had and then I upgraded to a 6620 side hill after that I hope you guys enjoy this last harvest I feel bad for you guys

Andy does that music make you want to wiggle your toes?
@@Thomasfarmstn well I don’t know about that 🤣
Really interesting dryer contraption.

Ну всё как у нас, и даже болото по середине поля
Where are you located ?
21% not bad! 👍 Thanks Dave for sharing! Just hate to think the your family farm will be all houses in a few years!🤬😢
Could dry a batch in 2 hours in this warm weather. Yeah, been busy out there the last few weeks. Moving stuff, hauling scrap etc. They have been waiting a long time for that piece. Roads leading into it for years. Glad grandpa doesn’t have to see it.
I’m overdue for some UA-cam watching…
Thanks Shane.
Or just wait a month and cut it at 14%
Weather can turn to shit here too fast. Not worth waiting if you want to get tillage done.
@@crazydave4455 Where ya located?
@@davehughesfarm7983 was in central MN. Western Hennepin County. North west of the twin cities

I pretty much cover it in this video Russ.
ua-cam.com/video/s56EVlJsM8o/v-deo.html
There is multiple layers working against its survival….
@@crazydave4455 I knew things were growing up around you. I’ll watch the video.
That’s why is started making videos. Document the history before it’s gone.
What gear do you run in shelling corn and cutting beans?
Have to ask dad, I don’t know but he keeps it moving right along!
2nd
Looks like some high moisture about 22 I guess
Drying down this stuff is not cheap, my hate is off to ya.
With the warm weather this year and the corn being pretty dry, the batches dried pretty quick.
