After hearing your description of heaven and knowing that it so closely coincides with mine, I'm looking forward to meeting you there some day..... but not very soon, hopefully! I'm a 68-year old man who can still hear and feel the sounds and sights of working at my grandfather's farm in upstate Vermont as a boy. I wasn't old enough to mow, rake or bale, but I learned to drive on Grampa's old H and spent many hours with my left foot on the axle, right foot on the draw bar, left hand on the light bar, and right hand holding the seat edge as he did his field work. I never, ever grew tired of being on that tractor with him. And I remember how he would hand-sharpen the blades on the sickle bar or replace them in his blacksmith shop, peaning the rivets when he installed the new blades. Thanks for the ride down memory lane.
Old farm equipments are a dream for the right to repair movement. Buying these new machines is like getting into a lifelong subscription/engagement with the big corporations.
I love your show. Particularly your Farmall H episodes. I was a pain in the butt kid and my parents sent me up to my maternal German grand parents who taught me to drive a Farmall H .I drove at the age of eight, while my Dad and my grandpa picked up square bales. My granddad had an operation much like yours 13 miles East of Lincoln, NE .Cattle,Hogs, chickens, and he raised hay, milo, corn, winter wheat, soy Beans and milked. My favorite memory was the slop bucket where my Grandma dumped sour milk and any thing else that spoiled. When it got too rank my Grand dad would haul it down to the hogs to the hog’s trawf I would love to watch them fight to gobble up all of the slop as if it were nectar ! Keep up the good work.!
The sounds of my childhood. We used to cut hay with a 1950 9N and sickle bar. The only thing that comes close is watching the Barn Swallows pick off the bugs flying out of the grass.
When I was a kid, my neighbor did all his farm work with a Super H, and a Super C wide front, with a loader. They even had a baler with a Wisconsin engine to power the mower. He also had a F-22, that they used to blow silage in the silo, using a pro pulley belt. This looks and sounds like home to me
Grandpa used to have a old Massey Ferguson, after he passed away the tractor was sold to a filming company which produced a show called Jake and the kid! Sure miss grandpa and going for rides on that tractor.
With all the craziness and stupidity going on in the world today, it is so relaxing to just watch someone mow a field with a 70+ year-old tractor. So well done sir.......
What a wonderful piece of nostalgia Pete! Kudos on your editing again-and whoever handled the drone did a first class job! Some of the best ten minutes of my day-thank you so much!
For this transplanted country girl, your ASMR on the Farmal was a song that can never be found in the city. Thank you for letting the "H" sing so beautifully in this video. Blessings.
The sound of that engine is music to my ears. My Uncle had two H's and a Super M. As a kid from the city, I loved going to the farm during the summer for a few weeks. His kids being farm kids always loved coming to spend time in the city.
Brought back memories of when I was growing up on my uncle's farm. we had 300 acres and a dairy herd of about 50 milkers. I remember doing the haying with a Ford 8N. He and his children would use a Massey Harris 44 for bailing, I would use the 8N for windrowing. You remind me of those days. Love to you and your family.
Pete my toddler LOVES your channel. You are all he wants to watch l, he begs for pete. It doesn't matter the content he loves watching you Hillary the cows pigs chickens and tractors
Hi Pete. I’m from Wisconsin and recently found your channel. I support local farmers. We go to the farmers market that is down town west bend. It doesn’t run all year like yours does. I’m 43 and grew up on a 10 farm set up. We had chickens, rabbits, pigs, some steers. Other farmers would rent the barn yard with their dry cows. At the end the place was cleaned up and we got a horse and boarded horses. I was Diagnosed with stage four brain cancer last year and your videos bring back a lot of good memories. Thanks.
Thank u for your amazing blogs, I am from Southern New Mexico, & back when I was a little girl my granpa had a small farm to & he use to work for a Co. called CASE, & he dealt also with digging wells, & fixing tractors but I dare not be arou d when he was busy he would be annoyed by distraction, so when I see u restoring your tractor, oh which my uncles now have that property & 2 of his old tractors which were rebuilt, I remember them when I see u working your farm, God Bless.
Well you can bet your sweet Bippy Pete ! you are not alone in loving how that Old H sounds idling. I still get a thrill out of listening to that chug. thanks for another great video and a trip down memory lane for a lot of us. ECF
What a game changer that must have been when a farmer got to park his mules and start using one of those tractors. I can imagine every farmer in the area lining the field in amazement.
Thanks Pete! Music to my ears. I’m only 33 but I’m old at heart for this old equipment. We appreciate you. My 14 month old and I enjoy watching your videos before bedtime.
Pete you're like a Dad to me man! Love ya sir and thank you for all the great things you share with us. How does it feel to be loved by thousands of people you don't even know? It's awesome huh 😁
I love watching your videos Pete. This one brings back beautiful memories from long ago of my brother and I riding and driving our Grandpa’s tractor in his fields almost 6 decades ago in Wisconsin. God how I loved being on that tractor with him! You’ve brought me to tears as those wonderful memories have come flooding back. Thank you for sharing your world with us. Don’t change a thing!
So enjoyed riding the old tractor with you today. I was reminded, as you cut down the Queen Anne’s lace, of my childhood and how those flowers were my cauliflower in my pretend cooking.
WOW.... That brings back so many memories when I worked on my Dad's farm.... I love how you bring back these old tractors and the equipment that goes with them back to life...A treasure to be sure.. Thanks Pete....God Bless
That poor Burdocks you are evil with it! Again you are bringing back wonderful memories of when I used our Sickle bar mower here! AND I still have it in storage! Many thanks again!
I enjoyed seeing your tractor working in the field. Most of the time when people restore a tractor, it only goes to tractor shows or stays in a barn under cover.
Fantastic! The Farmall H is my favorite tractor of all time, and thanks for sharing the audio! The sickle bar mower is just mesmerizing to watch. Thanks Pete!
I think your farm your family and your videos are awesome you hang on to the real strength backbone of America. You made a comment a few videos back about the kind of mechanic that you are. Mr Pete as far as I'm concerned you can hold your wrench up to any mechanic that I know plus some. You are precise attention to detail. Keep doing what you're doing you and Hillary and the kids and have a great day.
Awesome vid today! I love old tractor sounds too :D. We bought "just a few acres" in Tazewell Virginia this past week. Can't wait to get our chickens and bunnies up and going! Good thing rabbit is popular in Appalachia! Have a great week and thanks for the cutting hay video.
Pete, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Farmer’s Market last Saturday. Just have to let you know we loved your bacon. The whole chicken was fabulous as well. Keep the videos coming. We look forward to every one! Every time we pass the Lewis County Courthouse now we think of you. Joe and Barb, Subscribers from the Lowville area.
Oh man, the sound... Never will I ever forget that little boomp, boomp, boomp the Farmalls make when they're running. I think the proudest day of my life was when Papaw let me drive the M back home from the river bottom on the highway all of 2 miles, ha!
Man, almost made me cry, Pete. My Grandpa did all his farming with H tractors, although none of his were ever that shiny. Used to go to his farm every July and help with the hay. He used a similar sickle bar mower, but would be lucky to keep moving forward in 2nd gear, let alone 4th. I would love to see you bale hay with an old square baler, if you still have one. It was always so much fun on the wagon, getting in tune with the plunger so you didn't bust your but when the wagon would rock. Thanks for the memories 🙂
Watching this video I can almost smell the hay. I remember cutting fields with the sickle bar on the family farm many years ago. I always found it relaxing to sit on the tractor and mow on a warm summer day.
What a clean cut those mowers make , and mated to a Farm all H , I have two H's my self , so simple and easy to operate and will Handel most jobs , we all love the Farm all H .
A nice relaxing video watching that awesome restored equipment still doing a great job. By the way, I have a sickle mower in my front yard on the acreage. My husband totally restored it before he passed, and I have repainted it to preserve it. A great functioning piece of history👍🏻👏🏻❣️
marvelous dawling marvelous I have long many times to watch a full video somewhere of continue cutting and mowing in fields and listening to the sounds of a regular farm. well done It's just too bd it only had to be 10 minutes. I could sit and watch and listen for a very long time. I am a city slicker from way back and I just appreciate your sharing of your daily farm chores. Thank You sir from a greatfully 80 year old!
Pete I'm one of those people who believe that you could offer an amazing service for some of these Farm and Homestead channels on UA-cam on how to create a successful channel. Good video Pete that you were able to make interesting 🤔
I absolutely love those Hs what a pinnacle time of farming simplicity Although I'm not very knowledgeable in any farm equipment let alone some way before my time, I still really enjoy watching amd learning about it. Also, drone shots of you mowing are beautiful, the one from a few weeks back where it was literally just you mowing was also great shots.
It really makes me smile when you mention Farmer Tyler Ranch or when Tyler makes fun of you going thru a door. You both are just good people. Thank you for allowing me to watch your life for these, I think 2 yes now.
Thank you Pete! For reminding me of my Father and how we cut our hay with an H tractor and a sickle bar mower! Brings back lots of good memories!

That Model H is 82 years old and keeps on going. I love tractors 👍
Anyone who's made hay with an H knows it's one of the best hay tractors ever made. Thank you.

Farmalls were great tractors 60 years ago and still great today. Thanks
My wife just walked in and said, "That sounds like Pete's tractor". Hmmm, maybe I watch too much Pete. We love your videos, thank you!
When I was a kid, my neighbor did all his farm work with a Super H, and a Super C wide front, with a loader. They even had a baler with a Wisconsin engine to power the mower.

I love seeing the old tractors and equipment out run the new stuff u cant beat old tractors
Grandpa used to have a old Massey Ferguson, after he passed away the tractor was sold to a filming company which produced a show called Jake and the kid! Sure miss grandpa and going for rides on that tractor.
With all the craziness and stupidity going on in the world today, it is so relaxing to just watch someone mow a field with a 70+ year-old tractor. So well done sir.......
Love the sound of that good ol' tractor!
What a wonderful piece of nostalgia Pete! Kudos on your editing again-and whoever handled the drone did a first class job! Some of the best ten minutes of my day-thank you so much!
I love your videos! I have been watching them for about a year now! You guys do wonderful work!
My favorite way to cut hay. I grew up with tricycle front ends only green, the good green, Oliver’s. A super 77 and two 770’s.
Green video 👍
Pete the old H just sounds great and the mower works as it should.Thanks for the memories of 70 years ago for me.
So satisfying to watch that first burdock fall😁
Hi Pete as chairman of a local steam and vintage rally here in the UK I love watching you work on and with your wonderful vintage machinery thanks
Next-best thing to being there. Thanks for the memories.
For this transplanted country girl, your ASMR on the Farmal was a song that can never be found in the city.
Thank you for letting the "H" sing so beautifully in this video. Blessings.
Pete your farmall tractor looks SWEET and is nicely pair with the sickle. Thanks for the ride. have a great day.
So many wonderful memories of helping my grandpa on his farm. Thank you!
I can relate
That is a beautiful (!?) and efficient old tractor. Thanks for letting her strut her stuff for us in the 🐓 field.
Thanks Pete! That's music to my old ears!
The sound of that engine is music to my ears. My Uncle had two H's and a Super M. As a kid from the city, I loved going to the farm during the summer for a few weeks. His kids being farm kids always loved coming to spend time in the city.
Ditto here! Man, you can make some speed in 4th gear. That
S-bar Must be finally tuned! Love your old "trike" H.
Oh the glory of the Farmall
I just love your evil laugh that you gave to the weeds!
I enjoyed the noise of old tractors and sickle bars. Thanks Pete. Ed
Thank you Pete. Yes, I enjoy the sounds. There is nothing like it.
Brought back memories of when I was growing up on my uncle's farm. we had 300 acres and a dairy herd of about 50 milkers. I remember doing the haying with a Ford 8N.

Thanks Pete, for bringing back great memories of cutting hay with an H when I was young boy.

Thanks Pete for going old school! I love it.
Thanks, Pete. I enjoyed mowing along with you 🙂
You’re right Pete…. I love hearing and seeing these old tractors!
Well you can bet your sweet Bippy Pete ! you are not alone in loving how that Old H sounds idling. I still get a thrill out of listening to that chug. thanks for another great video and a trip down memory lane for a lot of us. ECF
What a game changer that must have been when a farmer got to park his mules and start using one of those tractors. I can imagine every farmer in the area lining the field in amazement.
You are so correct about the sound of an old gas farmall idling really slow. Finest sound ever .
Thanks Pete! Music to my ears. I’m only 33 but I’m old at heart for this old equipment. We appreciate you. My 14 month old and I enjoy watching your videos before bedtime.
Love the sound of a H and a M. They have their own sweet sound.
Pete you're like a Dad to me man! Love ya sir and thank you for all the great things you share with us. How does it feel to be loved by thousands of people you don't even know? It's awesome huh 😁
Thanks for uploading cutting hay Pete!

Love that vintage equipment at work like that, and still doing it well/efficiently too. And... economically. Satisfaction in a job well done.
WOW.... That brings back so many memories when I worked on my Dad's farm.... I love how you bring back these old tractors and the equipment that goes with them back to life...A treasure to be sure.. Thanks Pete....God Bless
An 'H' was the first tractor I ever drove, fifty years ago. :) I've forgotten the brand of sickle mower, but remember the baler was New Holland.
That poor Burdocks you are evil with it! Again you are bringing back wonderful memories of when I used our Sickle bar mower here! AND I still have it in storage! Many thanks again!
Took me awhile, but, I went back and watched all of the videos. I'm all in for the hard work and philosophical bent.
I enjoyed seeing your tractor working in the field. Most of the time when people restore a tractor, it only goes to tractor shows or stays in a barn under cover.
There's great character and nostalgia to this vlog.
Excellent footage Pete! Thanks for sharing this vintage equipment in action!
Ah, nostalgia. Thoroughly enjoyed the scenes and sounds. Grew up to those sounds on an Iowa farm.
Ohhh, I love your hay videos! I can almost smell the cut hay, such a comfort.
Fantastic! The Farmall H is my favorite tractor of all time, and thanks for sharing the audio! The sickle bar mower is just mesmerizing to watch. Thanks Pete!
Thanks for all your amazing videos! Hope you and everyone watching has a lovely day!
I think your farm your family and your videos are awesome you hang on to the real strength backbone of America. You made a comment a few videos back about the kind of mechanic that you are. Mr Pete as far as I'm concerned you can hold your wrench up to any mechanic that I know plus some. You are precise attention to detail. Keep doing what you're doing you and Hillary and the kids and have a great day.
Thanks Lyle! You have a great day too!
Spent many hours cutting hay with a wheel driven JD sickle bar mower, back in the day. Fond memories 🤠
Awesome vid today! I love old tractor sounds too :D. We bought "just a few acres" in Tazewell Virginia this past week. Can't wait to get our chickens and bunnies up and going! Good thing rabbit is popular in Appalachia! Have a great week and thanks for the cutting hay video.
We love our H. Great raking hay tractor!
Pete, it was a pleasure meeting you at the Farmer’s Market last Saturday. Just have to let you know we loved your bacon. The whole chicken was fabulous as well.
Keep the videos coming. We look forward to every one! Every time we pass the Lewis County Courthouse now we think of you. Joe and Barb, Subscribers from the Lowville area.
That tractor sound is therapeutic, back to a simpler time, lots of memories.
LOL... this machinery you call "old" is what I grew up with as a kid - and to me it still seems in tune with the times...
I love that old tractor working sound! Great video Pete.
Oh man, the sound... Never will I ever forget that little boomp, boomp, boomp the Farmalls make when they're running. I think the proudest day of my life was when Papaw let me drive the M back home from the river bottom on the highway all of 2 miles, ha!
love these types of videos!!!
Thanks Pete! After all these years I can still recognize the sound of the H.
Thanks for the ride. Field looks good.
Man, almost made me cry, Pete. My Grandpa did all his farming with H tractors, although none of his were ever that shiny.
Used to go to his farm every July and help with the hay. He used a similar sickle bar mower, but would be lucky to keep moving forward in 2nd gear, let alone 4th.
I would love to see you bale hay with an old square baler, if you still have one. It was always so much fun on the wagon, getting in tune with the plunger so you didn't bust your but when the wagon would rock.
Thanks for the memories 🙂
Love that old iron! Really enjoyed seeing it used!
Greetings from Nova Scotia
Pete mate I agree with you There is nothing like seeing an old tractor on action the sound is unreal, very good video
Watching this video I can almost smell the hay. I remember cutting fields with the sickle bar on the family farm many years ago. I always found it relaxing to sit on the tractor and mow on a warm summer day.
What a clean cut those mowers make , and mated to a Farm all H , I have two H's my self , so simple and easy to operate and will Handel most jobs , we all love the Farm all H .
Love it that you work the old equipment, and I also appreciate the earplugs you wear in many of your videos. Hearing loss is no fun!
There is something immensely satisfying about a freshly mown field. The look, the smell are just heaven on earth
very cool to see you in action 👍👍😃😃👏👏 thanks for sharing
A nice relaxing video watching that awesome restored equipment still doing a great job. By the way, I have a sickle mower in my front yard on the acreage. My husband totally restored it before he passed, and I have repainted it to preserve it. A great functioning piece of history👍🏻👏🏻❣️

Great memory of using the H and sickle bar when I was 13, 14 &15. I loved working the fields. dnp
Hey… big Thanks…. I worked with this type ..over 50 years ago…. Memories… ahhh I can remember the smell…
My dad bought me a Super H when i was 13, used to take it to the Steam and Gas show every September. Was a great old tractor !
Tractor vids are the best. Very therapeutic 💙
Pete I'm one of those people who believe that you could offer an amazing service for some of these Farm and Homestead channels on UA-cam on how to create a successful channel. Good video Pete that you were able to make interesting 🤔
Nothing like the sound of a Farmall to take me right back to my childhood and our small farm in Northeastern Pa.. Thanks Pete!
Thursday morning tractor therapy, with a cup of coffee in hand. What can be better? Hope you get some rain there Pete.
Yes love that sound, enjoy watching the H work, drone shots are a treat.
Trimmed my weedy hay field a couple days ago with my H and a NH 455 sickle mower. Love watching the barn swallows follow the tractor around the field
I absolutely love those Hs what a pinnacle time of farming simplicity
Although I'm not very knowledgeable in any farm equipment let alone some way before my time, I still really enjoy watching amd learning about it.
Also, drone shots of you mowing are beautiful, the one from a few weeks back where it was literally just you mowing was also great shots.
Pete there's nothing better then the sound of a tractor and mower cutting grass love old machenery
Why is it so interesting to watch a guy cut his hayfield? I, for one, love it! Thanks,Pete!
It really makes me smile when you mention Farmer Tyler Ranch or when Tyler makes fun of you going thru a door. You both are just good people. Thank you for allowing me to watch your life for these, I think 2 yes now.
Those drone shots were very soothing and the H looks and sounds fantastic.
Yes I do love that sound! Beautiful Thank ya Pete!
I do love the sound of the H. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
