In this video I show most of our equipment we use on our farm. Lots of equipment for a dairy farmer and cash crop farmer! Thanks for watching and the support!
Fantastic video! Impressive amount of equipment for sure. You can definitely tell the farm was built on a lot of hard work that most people can’t appreciate. Thanks for taking the time to showcase your family farm.
Very well done , you did a great job explaining all of the equipment & more ! Your dad should be very proud of your knowledge ! I am sure you learned alot from your father ! Congratulations , what a tour , remarkable !! Thank you , Bob
I liked this video because it told not only what you have but also how you came about it. Could you do a video on how the buildings came about as well as the history on the silos?
The Dairy Industry and Dairy Farmers are amazing with the work ethic, intelligence, and drive to succeed and prosper!! Dairy farmers are a whole different breed of farmer!! Keep going strong!!!
Great job sir. Nice clean well well maintained equipment. I enjoy watching your channel. I live about 81/2 miles west of your farm and it is always neat as a pin around there. Your aunt carries our mail. Keep on keeping on my friend and be safe!!!!
Being a ‘66 model myself, I’m partial to the 5020. Since you have two Case 430s that must have been a good model year as well. My dad owned a Farmall Super A so those will always have a special place in my heart. And who can argue with you about the 4440. An outstanding model for JD. With your dad’s knowledge and experience the majority of your equipment came from auctions so good prices, low hours and in great shape. Thanks for the tour & wee talk about each piece of equipment. Another great vid Kip. Keep them coming. Take care. Cheers.
Nice descriptions. That's a crapload of tractors. Love! And back up this & back up that. Smart. Thanks for taking the time to show all your stuff & the thinking behind it!
I love your no BS approach to this like everything else you do ,here's what we have , this is what it is , and this how we use it !! I do think you my have the corner on JD chopper box wagons though !!! Thanks for the interesting tour!!! I think dad is enjoying life , get him to tell us his story if he would !!??
Great tour. Love all that Green. Hope to see field work soon. Thanks for sharing. Know you probably have other things to do. Really appreciate seeing and hearing about your equipment.
I'm a dairy Farmer from Ontario and I think it's nice that you put in a video once a week. Can't wait to get in and see what the content is going to be. Thanks allot eh.
I've seen this before. But, this was much more extensive and you now have more equipment. You have some great equipment. Dad's found and purchased a lot of necessary machines over the years, and at a decent price, I'm sure. To stay in the business, you have to dot all your I's and cross every T. Hats off to you all Kip.
@@fml5910 He buys it used, and it will be on his farm 20 yrs. The thing about that old John Deere equipment, it eventually swings back to being worth its original list price. If you purchased a 10 year old 4440, got 30 years of use out of it, and went to sell it now, you would make $, it’ll bring over its original list price if you took care of it. My old 9500 combine, purchased it very used, got another 15 years out of it, paid $35k (it was low 100’s new), I see them going for $50’s k now, in another 10 yrs when the price of a new machine is in the $2m range, it will bring $100k again. Machinery is like aircraft. It is an investment. Unlike cars.
Kip , if one was too look up dairy farms in a dictionary , I think a picture of your farm would be pictured . Your family has some really nice equipment and a lot of it . I think your dad is a master at these auctions , this equipment he is purchasing are smart choices . This is the game one must play to keep their family farms afloat ! I just want you to know I really enjoy your videos . May god continue to bless you all and stay safe ! PS how is your Niece doing ?
OMG doesn't it make your head spin to think how much money is invested in all your equipment? I love to see all those tractors! The first tractor I drove was Farmall with the twin wheels in front. That tractor was replaced by an Oliver. Being a farm kid I was nine when I first drove a tractor
Grew up on a dairy farm..... much smaller but was all pretty much all Allis-Chalmers equipment, 190XT, D17 with Vaughn loader, two WD's and a C. Eventually I added a D19. Also had an E Gleaner combine, I added a second E and that sped up harvest nicely. Hired our silage chopping which was done with a White 2-135 and Hesston chopper with two row corn head. Baled hale with New Holland square balers and a Gehl 1500 round baler. An Allis 390 haybine (that was a very good haybine) and a New Holland 460 haybine (that was a terrible haybine). Picked ear corn with an Oliver pull-type picker and before that a WC with mounted Allis picker. Ground corn with a Gehl 65 mixer mill and later a tandem axle Farmhand which was a good grinder/mixer mill. We did have a 7000 4 row wide planter, our only JD piece.... Oh, and a Deere grain elevator. Those were good days. Going to make a chocolate milk shake right now.
Great video buddy.I live in England and worked on farm as a kid and when left school.but then went into construction.Really miss the time in the fields👌👌👍👍
Nice line of equipment, our farm has newer John Deere's cause we cash crop 1200 acres and do another 900 of custom work, but I always loved old iron. I wish we could get away with the old 40 and 50 series but time is money, nice videos I enjoy every one you post, take care and God bless all your family
Having all the backup equipment is the way to go. When you're in the business of making milk quality forage is so important. Equipment pays for itself when you feed cows high quality forage. Having your own agbagger is also the answer you can never get one when you need it. Owning one far out weighs loss of forage quality waiting for one. Field work is coming up soon, rest up it'll only last 8 months. Thanks for the tour.
Nice equipment, loved using the 30 and 40 series. I used to pick up at Toyo Seat in Imlay city in the late '90s, didn't know you were so close. I also picked up at Lear Seating in Elsie, Mi, there's a large dairy right at the edge of town there too. The good old days, like that part of your state.
A lotta equipment! But everything has a use and a purpose. A good example of expanding when times are good and planning ahead. People need to remember that all of this equipment wasn’t acquired at one time.
You're awesome bud. Loved the vid. I have a 6910, 2200 hrs, unused brand new 630A head put away in the barn and a 6 row Kemper which you need for corn!!!!!! All for sale.
Gerber wagons were made down the road from where I grew up, I went to school with the owner's son(it's run by one of the brothers now though), pretty cool to see one in a random UA-cam video.
@@KipSieglerFarming1 biggest pull-type we used was a Gehl 1265. You gotta make a video later in the year when y'all chop with your John Deere pull-type
Kip , remember the V.A. can help you , temporary , a cane , walker , motorized wheel chair , what ever it takes , please follow thru , you served our country well in the Army , stay safe , prayers !
Hey Kip! You have a ton machinery and they are in very good condition. Could you do some video about your John Deere 9400 tractor in action this spring? Keep it up, I love your videos!
Efficiencies of operation, big farming requires multiples of equipment and you have to feed the money makers, cannot wait for repairs or hope weather holds. Imagine, just 80 years ago, many farmers were just switching from horses to a tractor!
Great video.
What an amazing amount of machinery.
All kept in pristine condition......

Great video! You are the real deal. Just found your videos recently and am very impressed. Keep up the great work Kip and family!
business seems to be good if you can have that much equipment standing around :D

We had JD B hand start with compression release, lol. Northern Michigan.
Nice equipment tour !! How about a shop tour ??
Damn Man ! Amazing
Great video. You have an impressive collection of equipment. I thought you also had at least one, if not two, White tractors? Maybe I am mistaken.
Yes two, I guess I left a few things out 👍
Hey Kip! You have a ton machinery and they are in very good condition.
Could you do some video about your John Deere 9400 tractor in action this spring?
Keep it up, I love your videos!
Thank you, yes definitely 👍
As always nice video. What do u do with extra corn and beans? Don't see any bins or dryer.
We haul them to a local elevator with our trucks and sell, possible bin in the future
You got more equipment than dairys twice your size! Lol milk must bring more up north!
Love a 7830

I know unbelievable! How’d they do it
I have an 430 case tractor. Need to rebuild steering cylinders. Where can I find a tool to remove cylinder. Thanks
Good video! How many acres do y’all tend? Thanks for sharing!
Around 1700
Impressive farm tour .. John Deere and John Deere …
I think you’ve mentioned it before maybe in a past video but what sizes were the first two buildings? Nice place 👍🏻
I think 60x140?
Wowow team John Deere 💪
Saludos desde España
Yes sir
Staying on the milk and staying on the cheese.
Thanks bro 👍👍
Holy that's a lot of equipment. Most farmers I met have maybe 7 or 8 tractors tops. How much land are you farming on?
1700 acres
