the good old days been driver for 43 years st truck was 1974 brockway , now sit watch you all thank for all the show my name is Lucky Edmonds live in Candler NC
Thanks for the story Dougo. I don’t know if everybody does but I do enjoy to hear the stories of how far the farm has come. What it took to get to where it’s at now. I’m glad the boy listens to it and I can tell he truly respects the work that got put into it. I can tell that he appreciates you and the equipment that made it possible.Look forward to the next one always. Y’all stay safe out there.
Chet and Doug I started my truck driving career in a1967 cabover international 250 Cummins. And drove it to California and back many times and all over the Midwest and to the east coast. No power steering, hard suspension and CB more goodies.
I was 8 or 9 went to town with my dad and I was surprised he bought a new tractor and a 9' brush cutter he said it was moms anniversary present I really told him I'm going to my uncles house because I didn't want to be around lol, but if you asked her what her favorite present ever it was always that ford 3000 and mower . True story!
Love the old trucks, glad you got them out of hibernation. Started driving a '68 GMC with a 401 big block V6, 5+2 speed, hydraulic tag axle, 22' box, & no power steering at 14. Had to wait until I was 16 before I could haul to town. If one could run the stop sign it'd get up to 50 loaded after 2 miles. If one had to stop best one could do was 42.
THANK you for the story"s! I'm 66 and just retired from Farming , Still have are "52 Ford F-5 2 ton that I hauled grain to town off the combine in "62 at 6 years old as my mother was 8 1/2 months pregnant with my little sister ! Made the trip 27 times without a hitch to the elevator , 28 time got stopped by the local RCMP (cop) for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign ! Got escorted home and Dad chewed the cop a new Asshole , but I never got to haul grain to town until I was 14!
Outstanding listening to Dougo and the look on your faces when he went up the driveway grabbing gears was priceless! And watching the 3 of you working together is always a hoot.
With the way thing's are going, i would keep that old rig. One day you might need to use anything ya have in the junk pile. Don't let em talk you into it Dougo. G-d bless fellas.
Chet, you should be writing down all these stories your dad and grandpop tell you so you can tell your children one day, you should do a video for all of us and have your grandpop and dad and you sitting around telling those old and new stories we would love to hear them god bless be safe
Those old cabover trucks were the most uncomfortable things but they got the work done. I had a GMC ASTRO that made you feel like you were sitting in a fishbowl. The only thing the people coming at you couldn't see was the color of your socks. Hot! In the summer, cold in the winter. Gotta love them. God bless
I have been following Larson Farms now for about a year. I am 72 years young and look forward to seeing these youngsters in action on the farms. I wish them all of the best.
I’ve driven trucks like all the trucks you have there. These Internationals we called corn binders. With armstrong power steering. Lol. Before you stopped rolling forward you had to turn the wheel the direction you wanted to go in before you stopped. One time would make you remember next time. I’m a retired truck driver. I still love them old trucks, but I love these newer ones too. Dougo was so funny talking about them old days. Cool video. Thanks 👍❤️
Hey Chet, Greetings from Dawson County, Montana !! Your father has the funniest one-liners ever. "Never Fear... Me". I had a truck (1973 Chevy C-60 single axle 2 speed rear end) that was my pride and joy. It had an 18' box and a hydraulic hoist. I was filling the winter wheat drills one day and apparently had parked the fully loaded beast on a slight side-hill. Well, upon lifting the box up with the hoist, the 6 hinge bolts snapped off and the $hit show started. Long story short, every piece of machinery, truck, tractors, combines on my farm had a story. All of 'em priceless and precious. Thanks for your videos Chet...keep 'em coming. Take care and be safe.
I really love when Dougo shares his memories with you Chet.... he's got some great stories and has the best delivery with them. Somehow...I think one of you needs to write a series of childrens book using the stories Dougo tells of life growing up on the farm, maybe call them the "Growing Up On The Farm With Dougo" or "Life On The Farm With Dougo and Friends"
Nothing like keeping the vintage trucks in good shape like your family has on that old IH Tran star. Many people like to have them and take them to big boy truck shows. Thank you guys every day for what your family does
I love the old Transtar! My dad had 74 cabover with a sleeper, he bought in 1983. Had a 318 Detroit in it. He took an old 40’ flat bed, added plywood sideboards and a hoop tarp system to it with two slide gates in the back of the trailer. Was a huge improvement over the 250 bushel hopper wagons they used to drag to town behind the 3010, 4010 and the 4430 Deere’s.
I watch both your channels but I think that is so cool that Zack is going to use your tree. Spade. Watching his channel. I thought the same thing. We'll go use Larson's truck to move his trees and loa behold yes. . Awesome!
Thanks for the great video you all. Great teamwork on the concrete work. Concrete work is not easy. Dougo great job on the huge trowel and smoothing the concrete. That is not easy work. You did great. The yard looks nice all leveled out. Good to see Toby. He looks good. Good thing grandpa locked him up for concrete work. Glad to see grandpa out and supervising the project. Always good to see him. Thanks for the supervisions grandpa. Good to see you out. You take care and be safe everyone. Looking forward to the Iowa. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
"I'll get her! Stand back, boys!!!" had me laughing over and over!! Love to hear Dougo's stories!!! It would be great to hear Dougo talk about the expansion of the farm and the equipment changes over the years. I enjoyed him talking about planting 500 acres in a day one year with what? An eight? 12-row from 5:30 am to around 10:30 at night? And another one that stuck with me was talking about the farm having a 7700 and two JD 55s as recently as the late 80s?
With all the advancements in technology in todays equipment, listening to the older generations tell stories about how they did things really makes you appreciate what we have! Thanks Dougo!
That grain truck will bring good money. Get with one of your auctioneer buddies. That’s an old IH 4070. Lots of freight companies used the cab design. Those poor old drivers earned every dime they made. Those little 250’s were tuff. I had one in a road grader and it was dependable and bulletproof. Somebody would love to have that old truck.
I'm like the rest of people on here we all love big truck's and equipment we love the old equipment that built farms the 74 ford pickup,big red,70 JD should never leave that farm it should serve a reminder to all of you of what your family worked so hard for work them old girls a few times a year just ask them old girls if they would like to put in a fulls day of work great video as always chet
I drove probably the first four to five years in my school bus driving career in farms at the same time by the way. But I drove what they call TC's or forward controls like that old international there, when they gave me my first conventional I said I'll never get back in the TC again. Those things that the seat right over top of the front wheels and just beat The living daylights out of you! Lol!
Whoa I saw the boss. Toby how the heck are you? Great to see your keeping the boys working. That big red is really a cool truck. When your done with her ship it to me would love to restore it. It’s the greatest of old trucks. Later toby.
Around 1953 in Graceville, I was a city kid but Uncle Harry was farming. He used a Ford tractor and had a 3/4 Dodge with built up sides and door at the tail so when he took the grain to the elevator they could dump it by the by raising the front wheels. I often wonder how my Grandfather Costello farmed in the 20’s and the 30’s.
Where the good old days that good or do we just love the memories of it to me it seems like a a better way of life back then less pressure and feeling more free but maybe not remembering everything right
Keep the truck don't let it go .that is a memory that will never be forgotten
Enjoy the going down memory lane 👍👍👍👍👍👍
When you talk about the old times it sure brings back memories I am almost 80 farmed all my life thankss
That ol farm truck just screams Kool memories.
If you love someone, let them nap! Yep, Big Red is alive after Dougo does his magic, a 1965 Old Lady jumps to life again.
I would love to see a sit down story time with dougo and Merlin
Trucks with no electronics and no government juice , what a deal. CAT 3406B was the best motor they ever made.
So cool to See the old Truck and hear about the old days
the good old days been driver for 43 years st truck was 1974 brockway , now sit watch you all thank for all the show my name is Lucky Edmonds live in Candler NC
Keep that cornbinder around don't get rid of her !! She's the classic Larson!
Thanks for the story Dougo. I don’t know if everybody does but I do enjoy to hear the stories of how far the farm has come. What it took to get to where it’s at now. I’m glad the boy listens to it and I can tell he truly respects the work that got put into it.

Thanks for the Memories Doug. Always good to hear um.
Chet and Doug I started my truck driving career in a1967 cabover international 250 Cummins. And drove it to California and back many times and all over the Midwest and to the east coast. No power steering, hard suspension and CB more goodies.
What great memories with Big Red!! Classic!
It's great to hear some old stories, kinda reminds me of Years ago and I'm older than Doug
Everyone should start out in an old under powered over loaded grain truck. Makes you appreciate what it takes to hears a truck down the road
Never a dull moment. Nostalgia with Dougo love it
I could sit down all day and listen to older farmers talk about the old days growing up as compared to today. Love the story Dougo.
and Dougo isn't really very old
I was 8 or 9 went to town with my dad and I was surprised he bought a new tractor and a 9' brush cutter he said it was moms anniversary present I really told him I'm going to my uncles house because I didn't want to be around lol, but if you asked her what her favorite present ever it was always that ford 3000 and mower . True story!
That b model cat is hard to beat. It will pull like a team of horses all day long. Its probably a 425 hp.
Love the old trucks, glad you got them out of hibernation.

WE LIKE IT, KEEP BIG RED FOR THE GERAND KIDS
Outstanding listening to Dougo and the look on your faces when he went up the driveway grabbing gears was priceless!
And watching the 3 of you working together is always a hoot.
Those old trucks are pretty cool. Amazing how diesels can sit and fire right up with a good battery. Thanks for the story Dougo
Oh the stories dougos flashlight and that cab over could tell!!!
Never. Doubt. The Dougo! 🤠
Great ole “corn binder” Dougo and please more Dougo stories Sir. Keep the International as a reminder of the equipment that helped feed America.
Dang that truck is sweet don't see many day cab transtars any more. Gotta keep it👍 thanks for sharing
Nice memories.👍👍
I love seeing all the old trucks! I love my cordless vacuum. It may not be totally romantic but it will make her life easier.
You guys are great to watch. Thanks for representing the American farmer so well.
That Transtar is something you keep especially for the shape its in. I dreamed of theses trucks when I was 7 years old in 72
You are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. Cherish that!!!
Big Red needs restored and become a show piece for Larson Farms!
With the way thing's are going, i would keep that old rig. One day you might need to use anything ya have in the junk pile. Don't let em talk you into it Dougo. G-d bless fellas.
Something about the old iron I love
Nicole would be so proud to see how far you’ve come with the UA-cam content and being confident on camera. Cheers guys.
Chet, you should be writing down all these stories your dad and grandpop tell you so you can tell your children one day, you should do a video for all of us and have your grandpop and dad and you sitting around telling those old and new stories we would love to hear them god bless be safe
When my Dad started Farming it was Ford n8. It came with a 2 Bottom Plow. That was back in 1974. Just a few years ago!!!
Love the stories from Dougo. Big Swede is right Chet you are very entertaining. Keep up the good work.
Those old cabover trucks were the most uncomfortable things but they got the work done. I had a GMC ASTRO that made you feel like you were sitting in a fishbowl. The only thing the people coming at you couldn't see was the color of your socks. Hot! In the summer, cold in the winter. Gotta love them. God bless
Love the International Cabover! ❤️
That old csb over would be a keeper for sure. You never know when you need s back up
I have been following Larson Farms now for about a year. I am 72 years young and look forward to seeing these youngsters in action on the farms. I wish them all of the best.
Really cool to see the old equipment cared for and running!
LOVE SEEING CLASSIC IRON STILL GOT THE JUICE
Love the history
I could listen to Dougo all day .
I’ve driven trucks like all the trucks you have there. These Internationals we called corn binders. With armstrong power steering. Lol. Before you stopped rolling forward you had to turn the wheel the direction you wanted to go in before you stopped. One time would make you remember next time. I’m a retired truck driver.

Never fear when Dougo's here. 👍
Let's get some more old farm gear stories from Doug-o!
@ 23:00 - we refer to that here (NZ) as Armstrong power steering.
After all the storms you guys got n damage, hope u have a gd harvest. Love from northern bc Canada 🇨🇦
I really love when Dougo shares his memories with you Chet.... he's got some great stories and has the best delivery with them. Somehow...I think one of you needs to write a series of childrens book using the stories Dougo tells of life growing up on the farm, maybe call them the "Growing Up On The Farm With Dougo" or "Life On The Farm With Dougo and Friends"
Good looking cab over. Can tell your dad has a little bit of sentiment for the ole girl.
The free play is 2 inches play up and down the clutch pedal
Overhead Crane... shop will love it. Worth it
I will never get over how. all you guys act like brothers.
Nothing like keeping the vintage trucks in good shape like your family has on that old IH Tran star. Many people like to have them and take them to big boy truck shows. Thank you guys every day for what your family does
I love the old Transtar!
My dad had 74 cabover with a sleeper, he bought in 1983. Had a 318 Detroit in it.
He took an old 40’ flat bed, added plywood sideboards and a hoop tarp system to it with two slide gates in the back of the trailer. Was a huge improvement over the 250 bushel hopper wagons they used to drag to town behind the 3010, 4010 and the 4430 Deere’s.
I watch both your channels but I think that is so cool that Zack is going to use your tree. Spade. Watching his channel. I thought the same thing. We'll go use Larson's truck to move his trees and loa behold yes. . Awesome!
Thanks for the great video you all.
Great teamwork on the concrete work. Concrete work is not easy.
Dougo great job on the huge trowel and smoothing the concrete. That is not easy work. You did great.
The yard looks nice all leveled out.
Good to see Toby. He looks good. Good thing grandpa locked him up for concrete work.
Glad to see grandpa out and supervising the project. Always good to see him. Thanks for the supervisions grandpa. Good to see you out.
You take care and be safe everyone.
Looking forward to the Iowa.
Thanks for everything.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
That is so dugo 65 corn binder.. heck ya..
Love the old truck Chet.
That truck brings back memories, not all good, but I had the sleeper on it. Rough old girl she was.
"I'll get her! Stand back, boys!!!" had me laughing over and over!! Love to hear Dougo's stories!!! It would be great to hear Dougo talk about the expansion of the farm and the equipment changes over the years. I enjoyed him talking about planting 500 acres in a day one year with what?

Love the memories Dougo!
That grain truck will bring good money. Get with one of your auctioneer buddies. That’s an old IH 4070. Lots of freight companies used the cab design. Those poor old drivers earned every dime they made. Those little 250’s were tuff. I had one in a road grader and it was dependable and bulletproof. Somebody would love to have that old truck.
I absolutely love it when Dougo share stories from the early years.
Awesome video listening to Dougo’s memories. It’s a great example of how successful people have a long trail to get to where they are today.
I'm like the rest of people on here we all love big truck's and equipment we love the old equipment that built farms the 74 ford pickup,big red,70 JD should never leave that farm it should serve a reminder to all of you of what your family worked so hard for work them old girls a few times a year just ask them old girls if they would like to put in a fulls day of work great video as always chet
It's good to see that not all big farms are selling the older equipment
Just saw it on FB marketplace... 😅
I drove probably the first four to five years in my school bus driving career in farms at the same time by the way. But I drove what they call TC's or forward controls like that old international there, when they gave me my first conventional I said I'll never get back in the TC again. Those things that the seat right over top of the front wheels and just beat The living daylights out of you! Lol!
Thank you Dougo.
Doug is getting all nostalgic with the old bike and truck
I could listen to your dad for hours about how he started the farm keep it going doug
Love the memories should be a segment in all your videos
Harry and Lloyd on the Honda! Just need the big snot bubbles!
You gotta keep it!!!! Don’t ever get rid of it. You’ll regret it
Keep the truck Dougo because the regrets later will never end.
Dougo’s attention span is quite short but lots of great stories. Got to love ❤️ him.
I love that cab over
now this was pretty cool hearing Dougo talk bout the old times!!! need a video sitting back talking about his experiences farming from years back Chet
Have to love the old trucks
Love the cab over! It does not need DEF! Clean it up for the terminator.
Big Red is a BEAST!
Whoa I saw the boss. Toby how the heck are you? Great to see your keeping the boys working. That big red is really a cool truck. When your done with her ship it to me would love to restore it. It’s the greatest of old trucks. Later toby.
Dougo, love the old stories.
i say you keep the old girl dougo loves it i like seeing it run( we had a gmc cab over ) great trucks
Enjoy the content over all but there’s something special about stuff that helped build the farm!!
I could listen story time with Dougo over and over again!!
The pursuit of efficiency in farming never stops!
Around 1953 in Graceville, I was a city kid but Uncle Harry was farming. He used a Ford tractor and had a 3/4 Dodge with built up sides and door at the tail so when he took the grain to the elevator they could dump it by the by raising the front wheels.

That honda is mint.. flatnose is cool too, started my career in a Ford cab over..👍 Dougo has the coolest toys
Long time subscriber . Always put in a 👍 ✔️. Add a comment for the algorithm ✔️.

You need to keep big red around
