    I love these stories! I have the upmost respect for dairy farmers of the past especially. They worked their asses off, they were innovative, strong, and yet kind and understanding to those around them. Congratulations to this man, he deserves some rest, and relaxation.

    I just came up on this video by accident. I saw the guy by the tractor and thought he sure looks like my uncle Gerald. And it is. My dad, brother and I helped him on the farm in Zumbrota. My brother helped him on the Elsworth farm for a number of years. Just like he said you work all your life and do not know what to do when retired. My mom, Gerald's sister, says the same thing. Thanks for the video. Brought back many memories!!

      Do you farm in Sophia or just own tractors. If so, what do you raise?

      We only have a large garden each year 😅 we have a ‘39 Farmall M, a ‘56 Farmall 100 and a ‘81 IH 274 Diesel. Love these tractors! Thanks for asking 👍 My Dad farmed a little in the ‘60’s & ‘70’s. Take care! 🙂

    Love these videos just one thing i would like is to show a bit more of the tractor maybe start them and let us hear them run whenever its possible. Im fascinated by these big petrol tractors as we don't have them here in Ireland. what horse power is that and what kind of a fuel tank is on a gas tractor.

    I'd rather run my 706 gas right now than the 1086. $2.66 a gallon burning 5 gallon an hour vs 1086 burning 5 gallon an hour at $3.65 per gallon
