Thank you Grant for making me feel better about some of my "questionable" purchases!
I think we've all made questionable but seemingly wise choices at times. 😂😂😂😂
The tractor you guys looked at in the shed, that Grant referenced as a 3010. My Grandpa, god rest his soul, completely restored an old tractor that is very similar to that one. My Grandma still has it in Kansas. It's not for sale or anything, but your video just reminded me of it and, well, memories of my grandpa.
That one is a 3020 gas power shift. You can tell by the shifter and the PTO lever is on the right hand side.
Surely even if the disc is junk, it's worth more than $200 in scrap value. So it's a win either way!
You can't beat a 4020. We had one throughout the 1960's. It did everything we asked it to do. It's good to see one being used in this day and time. Good for you.

Cool old farm toys will generally come in handy on some smaller tasks and don’t break the bank
What a brilliant idea. Doing a series for other people who are thinking of starting out. Giving them suggestions on how they can start without having to purchase expensive equipment. I love it.
Old used equipment is what farming has become. Tried and true that worked well for years and wont break the bank. Nice way to start the year.
🎉Happy new year everyone🎉
Every guy watching this relived some "special" purchase and the difficulty of explaining it to the spouse!!! Laura you just have to remember, Grant has good judgement---- he picked you!!!!!
First, farmers are the best.
Second, all the skills and knowledge to run so many different pieces of equipment. City folk, they can run their automatic trans car and their mouth. That’s bout it.
Finally, the trust that each farmer has for another farmer. That’s earned, not demanded, not expected.
I follow a channel about a sheep farm in Scotland and I just realized something. The way you look at the camera is the same way his border collie looks at him! That’s a compliment! ❤
You need a hydraulic Hose crimper for the farm anyways. Get bulk hose and the ends, and a chop saw to cut the steel reinforced hose, and some fresh tires for the implements. 13:01
The 4020 had issues when used with a front loader, you can pull the lugs thru the rim when turning with a load, the front axle was leak and subject to cracking, and the supply pump stopped pumping when the clutch was depressed causing loss of power steering, stopping the PTO, no brakes, yeah a design issue. The ultimate old tractor would be the 4230, it is the ultimate 4020, and the ultimate Front End Loader was made in Texas and Oklahoma, the model 784 Quik-On, you could even upgrade it to 3 1/2" cylinders , it had 5/16" lower frame, CT&D cylinders ( same MFG as the JD 158 ) 13' 6" lift height, and was designed to last 75 or more years, I liked that you can take it off and on with no stands, no tools in about one minutes....it also came in matching JD green with yellow/black shadow decals...I always hated the black or yellow loaders other companies produced.
Love the street tires on a 4wd. But you made it. That's what matters. I have similar adventures..
Old steel like that is always cool to buy.
I am with Gage....John Deere!😊
Your Titan trailer was made in my home town of Waterville Ks.
I love Grant’s idea. I’m looking forward to the series
When I was a kid growing up on the farm in Nebraska, the 4020 was our "big tractor" the only one with a cab. I started driving on the 520. How times have changed. 😎
Laura ma'am you are a brilliant personality
I love farmers - that's how you do it
To keep the disc from swaying back-and-forth attach a come a long or tight chain from one side of the disc only to the hitch. The disk will no longer sway being pulled down the road as fast as you want.
I knew the disk doing the "death wobble" would be the highlite!!
Don't forget the breakaway cable for the breaks.
Grant, 2 words: "Back" and "Hernia". Loving how safe you are with your machinery.
I really appreciate the remote mic. Super audio improvement!!!
Happy 2024 to you all 👍❤️🥂
I sure do love the life y’all live. Whether you realize it or not, y’all are great examples of how people should treat one another. Happy New Year. 👍😎✌️
This video brought back some memories for me. I worked for an old German farmer in south central Kansas when I was in middle school in the late 1970s. He was a very strong Christian man and his wife could cook some excellent lunches. He had a 3010 tricycle tractor which he used for cultivating his row crops, it was a little unstable so I didn't like operating it and then he had a 3020 with duals on the rear which was his tillage tractor. Back then farms and equipment were a lot smaller than they are today. He only had about 300-400 acres total farm ground and raised hogs but back then it was enough to feed a family quite comfortably...
A woman and her truck!
It's a beautiful thing!
Good to See YOU again, Hope you are coping, Best Wishes from the Pyrénées Orentale -South of France , Meilleures Veux 2024
Grant's new part time job can be with the County helping with snow removal. Nice to see you back on the video's.
Ah, the joys of used machinery, and doing "field engineering" to get the job done. The latter is a skill lost on much of the younger generations--I'm glad to see that you are keeping such knowhow alive. Also, a good illustration of why 4WD pickups are so popular in farm and ranch country. I've owned 4WD pickups since 1971. They have become almost a necessity in rural America.
Audio quality was amazing on this video! Excited to see the rest of the series!
Hey Laura, Sorry for your loss of Papa Curt. We enjoy your videos your make
Glad to see you reached 500k subscribers.
That’s a better disc than we farm with. Good buy.
I recommend an International Hydro for a loader tractor. I'm an Allis Chalmers man but the IH hydro with a loader is an easy older tractor to use for projects that require a loader. Allis all the way for field work! D-17 for around the farm work and a D-19 or D-21 for field work! the plus side for buying older 1960's, 1970's and 1980's Farm tractors are a great choice because that is before tractors got really complicated. I have a 1967 AC D-15 and a 1948 AC G tractors and they run like a top. funny how something that is 57 years old and 76 years old can run better then some newer tractors. I don't recommend the AC G unless you have the specific attachments for it. It's a very cool design of a tractor but really needs the attachments to be an effective farm tractor. If you watch just a few acres farm, his winter project are buying old tractors and full restoring them over the winter! I really like the fact you guys are starting this as a part of your channel, I hope you keep it up!!!
Missed you guy's, glad to see you back for another year at least. Your Dad kept me company with excellent videos while you were gone for a short time. Now I can watch both. Love it.
Looks like everybody has a little snow. We have a little here in New Mexico and my son in law has a little in Manitoba Canada, and you all have a bit too.
Hi-lift Jack would have been helpful with that disc harrow.
Almost always a standard item to take along on recovery missions for me.
at 17:35 in the video, that JD grain drill in the background would be a PERFECT implement for a beginning farmer and for great video content. Bear in mind, the equipment you are buying and the scale of what you are doing is what a LOT of people are using/doing now for homesteading and creating food plots on hunting properties. This is what is driving the prices of older equipment so high in our area. You see a lot of people using no-till drills on UA-cam a lot, but there's not a lot of people who are actually buying them for $25K and up. What you are doing is going to get a LOT of interest. Operating the area around your house as if it were a homestead, with only the kind of equipment you are picking up, would add a whole new audience to your channel. Especially if you are showing how to go thru the equipment and get it running again, as well as how to use it.
The New Year begins as the last one ended. Laura is ridiculously adorable, Grant is purchasing farm thingys, and the trucks need washing! Oh, and the sun came up in the east.❤❤❤
Pulled that disk with an IH1206. 4 years, back in 1974. Leaned real quick what bolts I needed to carry in the tool box. Spring assist on the wings, but they were still very heavy. Only one hydraulic circuit on the old 1206. Pulled an AC 7/16" moldboard plow on land with that 1206. As I look at the new equipment out on the planes, I say WOW. But were I worked in NJ, they still run the same size equipment. Thanks for the memories.
Laura you are one of the boys. It looks like all the guys felt comfortable with you. A Beautiful woman that is fun to be around ❤
Awesome video Laura, couldn't help but chuckle at Grant's reaction to his $200 purchase and not you grilling him for it 😂
Thanks for all the great content. You’ve helped inspire me to put in 2 acres of pumpkins and popcorn on our reindeer farm. I’m new to crops, so I’m devouring as much info as I can. Super excited to see your small scale experiment.
out of curiousity, why pumpkins and popcorn. Are you in AK. I have 15 acres in WI that I am debating what to plant - thanks.
Wow im excited whats happning!! cool things and love the driving whit RAM😂
I look forward to the repair videos. Good luck on your tractor purchase, be sure and let us know how it goes.
True Family farmer .. appreciate
I like the old tractors. My dad had a G,A, B,420 ,GW all John Deere. Enjoyed them all. Be safe out there God Bless.
Nice addition of the remote microphones! Good sound recording.
Had a good laugh when i saw that disc on the road.
Thanks for all the great content
This is for sure one of the best
Happy New Year's, Laura, Grant, Gauge, and all the subscribers. God bless you all 🙏🏾
Happy NEW 2024 Year ya'all in Central Nebraska!!
OMG the Beverly Hillbillies go farming. Love this!
Those old 480 IH discs are good plowing discs. They leave the ground really level.
When Grant mentioned that the first item was for the yard...... I started thinking Yard Art..😊😊😊
You guys are amazing. Oops, I misspelled amusing.
That John Deere 620 Tractor you showed us. The Tractor 🚜 that I learned to drive as a kid was a John Deere 720. I'm not sure if I like the microphones, they might be to close. ❤your channel
You two are quite the adventurers. Have fun repairing the equipment. It will be neat to see it in operation.
On older tractors, you can put the dipstick in the ignition if you don't have a key.
Happy New Year,Love your Channel!!
A truly awesome video by an awesome farming couple!! You had a good 2023 lets hope 2024 is even better.
You mean you're going to be buying more scap. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
My grandpa had an Oliver 77 and 88, John Deere 3020, a Deutz that was just a bit bigger than the 3020, and pretty much all the implements were just a bit wider than the tractors. It seems he used the Olivers for everything he could, the 3020 for what the Olivers couldn't do, but when after bought the Deutz with the A/C and cab it started to get used more and more.
Happy new year to you all Laura
I truly love you guys. Keep up the great content.
Thank you for your post. We love the sound of your voices. Happy new year.
Laura And Grant Nice To See You Again Missed You!! Thank You!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😀👍👊❤️
Oh this is going to be an epic year on "Laura's Budget Farm!" Cannot wait. Great idea guys.
Great Video!!! Clearly your collection grows, like most farms you see, extra implements in their barn yards. Love it!
Happy New Year Laura ❤
Love the channel. Happy New Year!
That was great Laura thank you for sharing Grant great buy
Happy New Years, look forward to spending another year with you. God Bless.❤🙏
I love old stuff like that!!
It’s good to see you in the new year. Stay safe and have a good year.
One of your best videos! Nice way to start out the new year.
When I was just a kid, we had a JD 2020 with a front loader. Was a lot of fun for a 12-year old to operate. We also had a Farmall M circa 1947 and that thing was downright scary at times on hills...
Happy New Year, Laura and Grant! Looking forward to your adventures in the new year!
Happy New Year ! Looking forward to an adventurous year with y'all.
Happy New Year Grant and Laura.Tyvvm for all the wonderful 2023 content, looking forward to another year enjoying the Laura Farms channel!
Thanks Laura. My dad loves watching your channel and told me to watch it. I have watched a few of your videos and I have seen you interact (like this video) with $100,000 dollar pieces of equipment, and some $500,000 pieces of farm equipment, and I see you driving 2022 Dodge Ram 2500 trucks and I also see that you are probably in your 20's, maybe 30, I don't know. This leads me to believe one of very few possibilities: 1) you inherited a great business from your father or grandfather or other relative. 2) You must have won the lottery at a young age. or 3) You sunk yourself into alot of debt. 4) Perhaps a combination of two or more of those realities. I can't find any mention, in any of your videos of you giving thanks to any other person for having 'established you', so I am left to believe that you won the lottery or something. It just seems like if someone inherited that much, that the recipient would not go around posting videos making it look like they themselves achieved that level of wealth. Or maybe I missed the video of you explaining all of it. To me it just looks like young people trying to get into farming, who parent's left them nothing but some suggested UA-cam videos to watch, are supposed to think that they can never achieve a level of success within their generation - or compare themselves to an heiress, who never really tells her watching fans that she is actually an heiress of a man that actually built the business. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he put it on credit.
I love videos like this!! Thanks for the upload, Laura!!
Happy New Year Laura and Grant! New year, new chances!
All that reminds me of summers growing up on my grandfather's farm in Kentucky and some of the sketch stuff he used to buy, sell, and use for farming!!!! Love it!!!
Love the old equipment, it is like some of the equipment we had on our farm back in the 60's and 70's. Happy New Year to you and your entire families on both sides.
Glad to see you 'guys' back! Happy New Year to All 🎉 🥂 Looking forward to what you're going to do this year!!!
Happy New Year to you Laura, Grant and Gage you' ll family's
Happy New Year Laura and Grant
Happy New Year!!
I love great farmer ingenuity. See a obstacle work through it.
Happy New Year to you both. Hope 2024 is a great year for you.
Congrats on your 504k subscribers y'all!! Looking forward to more videos!
Happy New Year and great to see you will be at the OffRoad Games in UT
Happy NewYear from France Laura.
Wish you all the best to You and Yours.
Road trips are fun for buying used toys! The problem arises when you get too many projects going at once and you've bitten off more than you can chew. That $200 piece probably could've been abandoned at a convenient roadside spot if it couldn't be parted out. I too used to go old equipment shopping, but I've learned to focus on what I love to do best, TRAVEL! Can't wait for the next installment!
