I love seeing old farm equipment still working the farm. The history of that B could really tell some stories. It's supported many years of farming for your family. Because of the old equipment this is one of my favorite farming UA-cam channels, and your wholesome family values. Thank you!
When my dad retired from farming in 1973, he owned a 1958 Farmall 450 and a 1955 Allis WD 45.. Most of his machinery was "older", some was even operating when he began farming in 1946. He never felt the need to have shiny, new equipment because his vintage machinery was still getting the job done. If you have the skill-set to keep it all running, go for it, Alan. Thanks again for taking the time to keep your videos focused on your present line of machinery and long live the "B"!
I always like seeing all the vintage tractors and machinery. They will keep on going. You are correct they owe us nothing.
The old B is a member of the family
Working history 😊
I would love to have the ole Farmall H that I learned to drive on the farm 60 years ago, Those were grand days when I was a young boy. I miss those days, A simpler time in life.
Alan, I love watching your channel as much for your family as the cows and equipment. I’m 9 years younger than the B but see it as a valuable machine for certain aspects of your operation. Shiny and new is great but your business plan needs a return on investment. Your investment in your equipment and sweat equity in repairs is a very strong return. More power to you. On another note, watching this video flooded me with emotions. I would have been doing the exact same thing as your son in 1965. Helping dad and contributing and learning were all I wanted to do. You and Jen should be very proud of your kids. Keep on farming and I’ll keep on watching.
The sentimental value of the B alone is reason enough to keep it.
A lot of people don't understand about these tractors. You have Alot of history with that stuff like Alan said. Best things about the tractors like this is they are tried and true, and paid for. I bought a knew tractor 7 years ago and spent many years paying for it. We all have tractors that we grew up on or around that we would love to find. The B is a great learning tractor for the kids to learn on. Great video hopefully the rain keeps coming for everyone.
Nothing like the old equipment. The new tractors have some creature comforts and some features that make it possible to be more efficient/accurate. But nothing beats the simplicity of the old tractors. They can still serve a useful function.
That was great when the girls came to examine the camera. i loved watching your son drive the tractor and him giving you the thumbs up :)
Nothing wrong with the little B farmall in it's WORK CLOTHES !!!!!!❤😊
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Why go into debt if you don’t have to.
awesome stuff never throw away perfectly good stuff it can always be used. maybe only for fun stuff or some important work.
I green chopped for 40 years. A good way to feed cows in the summer.
Man I find that old equipment so interesting. I bet the new stuff won’t be around in 70 years. My son in-law just bought a 1949 Allis chalmers C tractor with a brush hog and it runs so nice. He also has a 1945 ford tractor. We have our local steam and gas show coming up. High light of the year for his family of six kids! Lots of old tractors. Steam powered and all. And the steam powered ice cream maker is always a treat. God bless and hope you had a great 4th of July.
Another great video
... your kids will be prepared for life, for sure! Great job!
CUTE LITTLE KITTY !!!;
Good video Jen,, I hit the like button,, looking forward to the next one
Allen you are one of a kind I love old farm equipment I got a 8 n ford I learn to drive on and I love it people give me hard time I don’t need it but it ant them to tell me what I need I’m 56 years old I like to look back in time I had a good time on that old farm equipment
on our farm we could easily buy brand new but we use old reliable equipment good video today ty for sharing
I love the editing with all the different scenes!
Thanks for the video 😊
Some people call it junk, I call it paid for 👌gotta love those old tractors
👍👌❤️🇨🇦, very cost effective equipment
Why go into debt when the old tractors and equipment can still do the job! Plus the older tractors were built much better than a lot of the new stuff, I love seeing the older equipment still being used! When I was a teenager in the 70's I learned on three John Deere tractors from the 1930's and 40's. (A, B and G) 👍😎
Lived with my grandparents as a child and he had a b farmall which is what I learned to drive with about 8 or 9 years of age. At there farm auction my aunt bought the tractor and years later my cousin bought it and has restored it. I really think the reason I am farming today is because of learning to drive that tractor and falling in love with what can be accomplished with farming equipment.
I actually did LOL when I saw Kitty come out from under the hosta leaves :)
You have a blessed life,I would love to be in your place. God bless you all.
Nothing wrong with using old iron. I’ve seen a lot of guys go broke trying to keep up to the neighbors buying new equipment. It’s easier to work on as long as you have availability to parts. God bless
I think that's what the world needs...an inch of rain and one coat of paint.
I think it's a very good-looking tractor. And your so right it's getting ridiculous how much is made to be thrown away. I believe in fixing it first.
thank you
Love the old Farmall and the suspenders!
Thank You for sharing this video with Us It was Nice seeing everyday Chores being Done on the Farm and as for the Lil Farmall it's a Great Tractor to Have on the Farm for some of the Smaller chores that has to be done it fits in tighter places an as you were showing us Great Tractor to Have Your Son Start Out on Learning how to not only Drive But All the Uses and Chores It can and is used For Back in the early 70's I Started Out on a SC Case Raking teding Hauling Hay Wagons Back to the Field and Some of the newer ones Are crap So if it's not Broken don't fix It Blessings To Y'all And Please Be Safe ✌️
Alan very well said on old equipment, I feel the same. The memories and history are priceless. Kids 4h projects for the county fair. 👍
Always great to see and amazing UA-cam videos!
On the old tractor to many think hey got to keep up with the Joneses of the world
I feel the same way you do brother
It’s easy to sit on the outside looking in and spend other people’s money. People who are ignorant to farming don’t understand how expensive new equipment is and that this old machinery brings the same amount of value to a farm that a new one would. Ignore the keyboard warriors they don’t have a clue what it takes to do this for a living.
Great video TD! As Justin was pulling the feeder up, I was thinking about your B and how smooth it runs. I also thought about what Justin is learning by driving it; you don’t need shiny equipment, how handy small equipment can be, and learning how to drive to name a few. Keep up the great videos and thanks for sharing them on UA-cam! God Bless you all!
Great watching your son on the B making sure he's in neutral before you hook and unhook great job teaching
The B is still doing its job and making new memories for your son. I think it’s so cool that 4 generations have used it ❤
Good job Junior great tractor drive and reminded me as a younger boy wearing my suspenders also I am 47 and I love my suspenders I even wear them to church but I make sure I have clean ones on lol great job guys/gals
Great you are using the old equipment. We live in Texas and each summer we head to central Mexico to help on the rancho. (we own part of it) We plant beans, wheat, barley, and oats mix for cattle feed. We cut the oat, barley, wheat with an McCormick-Deering reaper/binder Model EM-4. Serial number makes it build 1937 to 1957. It's a joy to use and if properly maintained works really well (we always trouble shoot each year before use) My brother in law runs a JD 1010 (1962) hard to crank but is still strong. As for me you can not beat the old stuff--it was made to last. Take care and hope you have a great crop year.
Love seeing older equipment still in use. Nothing wrong with using old tractors. Hope you an your family Happy 4 th of July. Blessings to you an your family. Them cows looked happy eating the grass you cut for them.
The "b" has no ad-blue, no ECUs, no DPF, no electronics, and best of all no monthly payments. you cant beet that.👍
Your equipment is very cool I love it
The old equipment was designed to last. We have a 39 M that my great grandmother bought new. It’s like your B, looks the same it always has but still does everything we need it to do. Same with the larger IH tractors, take care of them and they will run forever.
So cool seeing farm kids get big enough to reach the pedals on a tractor and start using them for farm jobs. Even better when the o old tractor is the same his great grandfather, grandpa, and dad all used. Some seriously great memories with a fantastic old tractor. I'm with you on seeing no reason to get rid of it but a lot of reasons to keep using it and keep the tradition alive. I love that stuff! God's peace to you and your family!
Beautiful words about B👍
Cows are nosy. You gotta love em
Feel the same about my old IH "M" Paid $1100 for it with load dual loader on it and it gets used almost daily for feeding or whatever is needed done in a hurry. Old equipment has a place and its easy and cheap to work on.
I really like those red suspenders!❤
Love those old tractors, we use a lot of them every day on our farm, especially for chore stuff otherwise which puts hours on quick on the newer stuff. Hours on newer tractors aren’t the same as hours on old tractors - none of our newer tractors will last 70 years that’s for sure!
Don't let people get to you talking dumb. Use what works! It don't matter what it looks like or if you have to put in a few parts! It's getting the job done without huge payments! Keep up what you are doing!
The sun brings its light every day, but rain is how the LORD sends us bread.
Great video. Glad y’all are getting rain. We went from august 27th 2022 to May 14th 2023 without a drop. Since that date in May we have had over 13 inches. Our country here in the Texas panhandle has greened up. Cows are notorious selective grazers. Chopping that field mixes everything up and you get better overall usage. Old equipment is great....as long as you can find parts. I’ll bet the computerized, DEF burning diesel tractors today won’t be in use 70 years from now. That B farmall is rudimentary but it was built to last and still faithfully gets the job done. With new tractors comes expensive payments and insurance requirements. The farmer is spending his hard earned money while the dealer, banker and insurance guy are making a profit. I looked at a new 10ft no till seed drill and about swallowed my tongue over the $36,000 price tag!
Yes, yes, farm workers, Farm worker,Boys, girls. 💪👍Thanks (Naaman)
The older stuff you can work on with just a few tools. You don't need a computer to diagnose everything.
I agree with you Allen i personally love the older equipment easier to work on and cheaper a little bit of elbow grease goes a long ways we have older equipment and we do fine and live seeing your boy driving the b that’s so awesome ❤😊
Thanks for the explanation of the old stuff Bing very useful that is very economical way to get things done newer stuff cost more money and a lot of the newer stuff is not anywhere near as good as the old stuff so from one old mechanic with old vehicles collector cars all chainsaws old motorcycles keep up the good work there use that old stuff and enjoy it
at 14:11..............I am also "77 years old" and that tractor can definitely out work me.
👀🙄🐾👍Great video A&J don't listen to the detractors it does not matter how hideous something is as long as it work's for your operation it's all to easy for businesses to load the operation up with debt and and up running hell for leather only to be going backwards faster than they are going forwards Was Justin try out Alan's braces?
Just a great video!!!
Nice rain, Excellent video. What a nice farm you have there. Maybe one of you kids will rehab the B; some day .
Totally agree👍 for me personally old equipment is the only way to go easy to fix and reliable, any body in the coments saying old equipment is not useable hasn’t run old equipment and doesn’t know what they are talking about, were I live old equipment everywhere. I know of quite a few farms that are not small who still use surprisingly old equipment.
Yes old stuff breaks but 9 times out of ten you can fix I yourself without special tools and I like it that way 😂😂
Nice to see the mud puddle excavation crew is gainfully employed again!!
He was so desperate to drain puddles he had been playing in the gutter!
It's interesting to watch Justin's "1 cheek on, 1 cheek off" half assed sitting style on that A. It takes him half the ride home to get recentered. Butt whatever floats your boat😅😊😂
Happy 4th of July, Justin, and don't let any firecrackers go off in your fingers like I foolishly did.
I like the better than the new
Good stuff, content, very enjoyable....farm life....🚜👨🌾🚜, thank you for taking us along...😍😍🚜👨🌾🚜
You are one of the few smart farmers. Too many farmers bury themselves in debt by always having to have the newest and best. It is smarter to buy old but good then new and in debt.// I forgot to add: This is one of my favourite videos the way it is broken up and edited made it a joy to watch. Besides the kids with the calves, the rain shots were excellent. My hat is off to the Mrs. for excellent camera work.
Finally YOU GOT SOME RAIN 😊❤
Lol alan, we cultivated urea into our corn last week with our old b&c. Then since we like you have finally gotten some rain we're almost done with the first cut nothing to combined so we had a little time today so we took the baby gave it a bath and took it to the parade and neighboring town. So after parade in the picnic for those of us guys that were driving tractors in the parade we are back home and have a little work done this evening wishing you the best glad you're getting water and we will pray for some more
Glad for you guys you got some rain, we also finally had some but third cut grassilage was all borne up so hoping for a good 4cut. And agree whit the bossman about his farmel but you have to look out that you not saving everything because you get to much junk on youre farm but thats my opinion, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Every body should live on a farm for a couple of years. And as far as buying new equipment ie. tracters I have to wonder how many new ones will be running in 50 years. And how much maintainance in that time.
Now that my hands are free I will jump in here again. While you were talking about your B I was cleaning the carburetor on our Minnie Mo Z. I am with you 100%. At least those old tractors and machinery were no nonsense that you don't have to be a rocket scientist to fix. They still have a place and can do the job. We are proud that our newest tractors were built during the Reagan administration and before and we get along just fine. Maybe it is "junk" to some but they are treasured by us.
The thing I've noticed with auctions is the substantial difference in prices depending on where you're located. I enjoy your videos because this is how my dad and grandpa were, making do with what you have and upgrading when it was cost effective. Funny thing is that our 2 "big tractors" (a 930 & 970 Case) probably would barely be chore tractors by todays standards.
Love to see the farmall B pulling its way around the farm. When I was growing up, my dad had a Farmall C that was set up as a 4 row cultivator. Personally, I prefer older equipment because it was designed to be simple and work flawlessly. Just know that you are helping your son create memories that will last his whole lifetime.
God bless you and your family🙏
#NoFarmersNoFood
Farmall C with a 4 row cultivator?
I have never seen any Farmalll smaller than an M with a 4 row cultivator.
@@douglasmacarthur87759ookkk🎉
Stop listening to others you have more than they could ever dream of having 👍👍
great little tractors
That B farmall could have outlasted 15 batteries. I use used equipment to farm with as well. My line up is 1086, 966,1494, 585, H , M, W-6, IH and a 580 case. I will probably not live long enough to wear them out.
Great video Al glad to see you got some rain. Still waiting here in southeast Wisconsin, it's been so dry here. Like to see the old B still working, I use many old Farmalls myself they never let us down. My H is 82 and our B is 83years old. They sure don't build new stuff to last like that.
One of the reasons I watch is because of the old equipment.
Very nice. We got some rain but not very much. I liked your comments about the old tractors. I completely agree. I doubt that a new tractor today will be still working in 77 years.
The brown swiss cow milking heard is that Jolene’s heifer
No. That's Countess. Jolene's heifer is still here she's s getting ready for fair and will be bred sometime here.
That old tractor is not junk I love it only if it could talk
Sorry one more comment😊 I love seeing the kids work/play with the animals even if they are crazy😂 it’s the best way to grow up! warms my heart every time👍
Awesome comments on the small c. If ya gotta ask,ya won't understand.
My uncle had a Farmall B just like that but didn't have the wheel Wights on it.
when I was about eight years
old I would ride on the axle on the left side.
They used it for gardening. I'm almost 75 now. Life was a lot more simpler then. We didn't get electricity until after 1955
And in 1958 we got a bathroom in the house and a pump in water well. We had a kerosene cook stove my grandmother had a wood cook stove. God bless you and yours.❤
The hosta and garden are beautiful. Gods watering can does the best job. We sure do appreciate you folks.
Alan you and your family are truly blessed to live the life you love and that family is more important than material things. You're family and Livestock mean more to you than a new tractor or other vehicle's. To see ur son driving that tractor and the smile on his face there is nothing more satisfying than that so continue to do the things u do and believe in God and things will always work out and keep things simple. Love the videos and God bless you and your family
Awesome. Video
The old tractor is awesome and the memories are priceless! Great to have your kids helping out on the farm, awesome job driving the tractor Jason! I assume they are preparing for 4H with the calf & heifer?
Yes, they are.
Nothing wrong with older equipment
im sorry that some people think this way i think it is wonder full that you use the classic tractors to farm with and the nice thing about them is you can do the work on them and not need a computer to diagnose what is wrong with it keep doing what you are doing love it
I’d never get rid of the farm all , it works , I use a Massey 65 diesel for my acre garden , it’s old but I like it
LOve the Farmall B, only seven years older than me. That young man is doing a good job and has a good teacher. Love your channel. Wow what a garden! Happy you got some rain. Weve had so much here my garden is drowning but we are blessed to have it anyhow.
It’s good to see Justin running equipment . We had a B when I was very young,nice to see the old equipment still carrying there weight.Keep running the old stuff as long as the arthritis doesn’t get in there wheels .😂😂 God Bless
That B doesn't owe you a thing. You're philosophy is spot on, on old equipment. We were the same way. Every
