Thank You for sharing Your memories and history of Your Beautiful Farm . You are Blessed the grow up with Your Dad and Grandfather to carry on the Family tradition. . Merry Christmas my Friend
😅Hello Bill I'm enjoying the great adventure you and your family have brought forward and provided not only food for yourselves but the people af this great nation and the history is very well made through the years I also enjoy the tractors that have made the farm grow and succeed my Mother Dad my Grandfather had an 80 acres when I was a youngin and a WD45 Allischalmers tractor to pull the ground manure spreader wagon plow disk cultivator new idea hay mower and so on like you I sat on his lap and steered the tractor at 5 years old he raised 2 pigs and 10 head of black Angus cows as I got older I went on to work for a cash cropper he had an 856 international with a 5 bottom international trip plow that led into him buying a 4440 John Deer cab built on it in 1998 now I was tractorin I'm glad you have the talent to put together all your pulling tractors I'm overly impressed with your accomplishment learning from your Grandfather Father and Mother thanks for sharing all I've seen so far Thomas Kluever ps I now own 3 acres and my 2022 2032R compact jolly green grass hopper tractor with loader and 3 point attachments I'm a happy guy to own a John Deer 🦌 😀
Thanks for the video, my mother took a picture of my twin brother and me with bib overalls on back in the early 50s, reminds me of the "you been farming long?" picture.
Heartwarming video Bill, I have some cherished pictures of my great uncles loading hay on a horse-drawn wagons. I've always liked pictures of people at work thanks for posting this
You may not think the farms history isnt interesting bc you have lived it. But I think its great that you have keep your familys history alive. What a great video series if farms could tell there history.
Great pictures Mr. Bill! Many of your historic photos make me think of the way my pap pap and his father farmed. They had a small dairy farm in frederick county. Its all gone now and there is a YMCA where the barn used to be
Very interesting video Bill. I grew up in a similar era on a family dairy farm in the 60s and 70s. As I look back, it was the best of times. We didn't have much but we grew up working together in the barn and in fhe fields. Our 2 workhorses were a John 4010 and a 3020. I wish more young people today could experiance this today instead of growing up on mobile devices. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it! God's blessings to you and your family.
Love the old pictures! Sure brings back memories! Love all your videos and always look forward to tractor church 👍🙏. God bless you and your family and God bless our country 🙏🇺🇸🙏🙏
Love the history lesson. A time when life was harder but I believe in many ways much better than today. May God bless you always in Jesus name Amen 🙏 ✨️
Great photos and videos brings many memories back to me on our little dairy farm when I was a tot growing into a teenager....same unfortunate problem no pictures my granddad and Dad and Mom with horses they farmed with. Man didnt take long it seems that now I am the 75 year old man called the old timer and I expect called that old man when out of earshot LOL.
Interesting video, always good to see how things have either changed or they just keep the old traditions. 1969, nearing the end of the Viet Nam War, I graduated in 69 at 17, turned 18 just a few days before I went to college, so I had a deferment from the Draft. It was only a 2 year degree for "Metal Technology", it prepared us for testing products for the auto industry, we were 50 miles North of Deroit. The classes were packed, (guys seeking a deferment) when I graduated, I was the only one left in my program.
Pretty clear that a lot of people liked this video! Including me! History is important and the older we get the less of it we have and the less of these machines are left running. It’s great to hear about them and what kind of work they did. As well as see the progression of your farm! I wish I had something like this for our farm.
Bill, if your making a livin doin what ur doin, your winning as far as I am concerned. One thing that doesn't seem apparent. I don't hear any stress in your speech. Thats pretty awesome.
This is my favorite video yet loved hearing some of the history I had not heard before (Chad) I wish I lived on the same piece of land that generations before me lived on!
I love the history. If nothing else it's a reminder that life is a lot easier for us than it was for those who first cleared and broke the land and made whatever they needed. My grandfather's first tractor was a doodlebug made out of a 36 Chevy truck. It took two years before there was a tractor available for them to buy. It was a Massey Harris Pony with a plow, disk, one row cultivator and a ciclemower. This was after WW2. Unfortunately I don't have farm that has been passed down though the generations. I had to buy my own place and I'm the end of the line for my family.
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 just like our ancestors, we play the cards we're dealt. I'm having a big time though. Beautiful wife, hot horses, my steers, sheep and tractors on a 130 year old farm. I am glad folks like you can share the history of your family farm. It doesn't get any more Americana than that.
2840's were under appreciated. They could pull everything a 4020 could pull, and had the Hi Lo shift. Yes, they were mutts of various European factories, but good tractors that paved the way for the 29's (40,50,& 55's). Mfwd in the 29's made them almost perfect chore tractors with loaders. Great video and wonderful history, Bill!
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 I have 2 of em. 1 running, and the other needs a rear main seal. But my Dad and I used them for everything, including 2 row chopper for years. They handled a NH 411 discbine and weren't to big to rake with, and then run the NH 231 baler.
@MorganOtt-ne1qj , hi morgan, the 2840s were 3130s made in France and Germany for the engines, I knew many of these 3130s here in France, yes good tractors, they were for heavy work only (it was the big tractor of the time here in France) with a little help from the injection pump, they were able to do the job of a 4020, but did not last long...... But, the 4020 made in USA, was a tractor of exception, it largely contributed to the breakthrough of John Deere in France and Europe, the American construction models at the time were really solid and made to last
@@ericbrisson3925 Hey Eric! Wonderful to hear from you as always. Yes, I think the 2840 was best suited for large utility work around the farm and only a minimum of the heavy tillage, but we got exellent service from ours.
Bill that was a awesome and amazing video of your beautiful farm I really enjoy it, I grow up with Grandpa working mules, and tractor, my Grandpa would work the mules over the tractor, but my Dad would always use the tractor LOL, we had 420 and the 1020 JD our wasn’t as big as y’all’s, we had two milk cows, for mike ,butter and cottage cheese and raised four hogs a year two in the spring and two for the fall, and pull hay for the cows and mules, and other small farmers so I can appreciate your way of life and share it with us thanks again and God Bless, I hope do more and more on the tobacco side of it too
Thanks reminded me of growing up on the farm not mean photos of it guess it cost to much to have them developed mom took some with a little brownie camera most were use kids and dad I have one of him on his favorite horse. But I can see it all I'm my old gray head thank you
Love the history behind things. The story of where things come from is really fascinating. Thanks for sharing. From Northwestern North Carolina wishing you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Thanks so much for sharing the video of your family farm. I really enjoyed it. Wish we had more pictures of our place. Just got back from Iowa hunting at a man's place that is from Davidsonville and has a guide business, he said he knew you.
Enjoyed it Bill! Thank you. I’m guessing you and I are about the same age. I’m a ‘64 model. What about yourself? I grew up on my family’s 157 acre, 50 +/- cow dairy where we rented about the same amount of land as we owned and raised all our own feed and replacement heifers.
really enjoyed your video it brought back alot of memories for me,but after trying to farm a hillside and 30 some odd years in a coal mine im just fine watching others doing it now.thanks for the memories and i really enjoy your channel you seem like a good man and we need all of them we can get.
Hey Nicholas! Where we are located, we could have a northern winter or a southern winter. We've had blizzards when l was a kid, and just 6 or 8 years ago we had 28 inches one week and the next week 24 inches. l remember several years in a row when l was a kid we had no snow. Haven't had much the last 3 or 4 years, l think we're due for some this year. All in all, l don't see much change, just depends on what direction the wind is blowing wha we get.
Thanks for sharing the history and pictures of your farm and family
Glad you enjoyed it
love the old history by the way. awesome history.

Another great video buddy is there anything you don’t put a turbo on? Nice 55 chevy in the bottle feeding calf picture to
Tollally enjoyed the video...what's the story behind the cade tractor then charging to deere
Great video of your family farm.
I had a 1949 Case SC. I still have 2 520 John Deeres
My old Case SC was a strong puller.
Full watch Bill. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Gary, always a pleasure to to have you with us. We found the SC to be a little light on front.
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 , indeed they were Bill
The black and white photo at 5:10 showing the deep snow, how would you say the winters have changed over your life time living on the farm.

What stories them old tractors could tell
Was that an International chuck wagon ?
Not Sure, it was borrowed from the farm across the road.
which pulling tractor were you working on in high school?
Hey Joy! That was an old John Deere "A", I took it to a grand total of 3 pulls.
you still have that one?
@@jwmuddybottomhomestead No, I foolishly traded it in on some piece of equipment.
Thank you for showing the pictures. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks again. Merry Christman to you and yours.
