Eric, his Dad and all that assist on that farm are a testament to how important farms are to this nation and all over the world. While we sit back and enjoy a cold glass of milk while eating cakes, cookies, pies and other desserts we should subscribe and watch these videos which show the extreme hard work and dedication farmers like Eric go through to nourish us each day. Thank you Eric for everything you do for us.
That's probably why your farm has come so far - you don't buy new tractors and equipment just to keep up with the newest models and the latest trends so it's a lot more efficient. As long as you have good and functional equipment to get it accomplished that's what counts, and it saves those $$$$. Thanks for the tour. 👍
I was wondering (I'm no farmer) about the cost effectiveness of having the old tractor fixed, the one that leaks oil. I would assume it's not cost effective, though since they haven't done it. That combined with the fact that it uses more gas than other models then I understand.
@@RiDankulous I agree Joe with fixing what you have is typically cheaper than buying another one. But I guess it eventually gets down to how much good is left in your old one - oil leak now, new injectors next week, alternator gone the day after that, wheel bearings shot, planetary gear has to be replaced at the same time the starter goes, well you get the idea. There is that point of no return.
Hi Eric. We have a ford 851 my father bought used in 1964. Still run great use it for mowing field roads and edges every week. Like you ,will always keep. Keep up the good work.
Nice tour Eric! Glad to hear you're keeping the tractor your Grandfather/Uncle bought. You've got a couple nice tractors for a restoration when your kids are old enough to appreciate making those memories together with you. Thanks for the tour!
Awesome Tour, I like that you are delegating some of the responsibilities to local companies, you shouldn't stretch yourself too thin trying to do all the jobs as one man. Better to have a team come in and handle the job quickly to give you more time to focus on other things.
I'm surprised to see so much modern equipment for such a small farm. A lot of the old family farms I used to work on back home still use a lot of equipment from the 60s and 70s, with a few people still running AC 200s and Farmall model Bs. It really speaks for how well you guys are doing for yourselves.
Even for a long time viewer who has seen, I believe, every upload this was awesome. Gave a great overview of all the equipment and what it's purpose is around the dairy.
It's amazing how fast time flies it just seems like yesterday you bought the tractor and a couple other pieces of equipment. Hope you guys have a great week
Nice update on equipment. I'd miss the Grasshopper lawn mower (I remember your old Grasshopper lawn mower- maybe I should get a life LOL), but Toro makes a good mower too. I'm not at all biased: but a John Deere tractor pulling a Kinze corn planter- well... in Iowa, that is a perfect farm- and we have a few nice farms here- so perfect farm award to you!
Seeing the pile of sweet corn cobs in the spreader that looked like the kernels had been cut off makes me think someone has been putting up corn for the winter. We froze our corn and it was so good in the winter.
Yeah! Last time he took the papers out of that tube (which is maintenace and warranty documents, I believe) he mentioned that it's a drink holder and 'we don't need those documents' and he tosses them aside. Very funny! 🤣
Great vid Eric…I remember many of the changes. You are so so so close to 400 thousand subscribers..congratulations. Absolutely love that the 4240 has a forever home…it has been a good old tractor for you.
You guys take good care of your equipment, so they're serving you well even though they have lots of hours on them. Upgrading tractors to be more fuel efficient ones is a good idea if the cost balances with the fuel costs. Thanks for showing us all the machines you work with. Love the drink compartment!!
Good stuff as usual. Y'all have learned that maintenance does not cost, it pays. Everything that I weld or fabricate gets a coat of flat black, at least. Keeps the rust at bay and helps resale value. Hope this helps
Went back and watched your old tour. Wow! Certainly some good growth and good changes around the farm. Really enjoy your videos, and appreciate the insight into your operation. Also, it looked like that tire on that disk wasn’t flat 3 years ago 😀.
I like you know all the specs and settings on your equipment. I see some farm vids on here where you can tell some of them are just buy it and run it....leading to the usual "it broke" happening.
I agree but also showing maintenance on the tractors, and talking about the number of hours on the equipment. It's clear they understand the economic benefit of performing regular maintenance.
I can't believe how much of the equipment I have watched you get do you remember all the patches the old feed cart had I'm glad you got the new one and I don't blaim you one the manure job let them do that work you guys have enough to do and families
Some nice equipment, I like all of them, but my picks would probably be the John Deere 7220 and the Kubota SSV75 skid steer. The cutter is pretty nice too, thanks for sharing. I hope you and all your family have a great week.
Thanks for the tour. Prior to my dad teaching film making at the University of Southern California, he worked for a small local commercial filmmaker in the early 50s. They did a commercial film for International Harvester where they filmed a combine engine run without water until it glowed red with heat. After it cooled they added water and it started right up!
Enjoyed watching your equipment tour, nice line of machinery. Favorite is the NH 7450 discbine which we sold when we retired from dairying, what a joy to operate!
Sometimes it works out cheaper to get the contractors in if the work is intermittent and heavy. Better to wear out the contractors gear than your own as breakages can cost big bucks. The only time it pays to use your own gear is if you can't get them in a timely fashion, something you fellas dont seem to have a problem with. The contractors you use are all very efficient and effective.
Thanks for the great update equipment tour, it’s great to see that you are able to continue to use equipment that someone no longer wants because it’s not the latest model and you are able to do your own maintenance to make them work for longer than they originally would have. Just a quick question (probably been asked before) but would you ever consider having your farm made into a map for us non farmers to play on farming simulator 22 just so we can see what it’s like to be in your shoes on a daily basis
What an awesome video Eric thank you to you and your family for all y’all do and wow I like the chocolate milk holders you have though-out your dairy hmmm god bless
Thanks very much - love your channel. Would love to see a video or 3 about the economics of running your farm, e.g., key factors in how you maximize profitability and get the maximum return on your capital, commodity, labor and other investments. You guys seems to have some kind of magic formula :-)
Great video. It's good seeing y'all don't have to keep up with the Jones on new equipment. Some think they have to have new equipment every couple years and then wonder why they ain't making no money. Keep up the good work stay safe and God bless y'all.
All this time I think this is the first time Eric’s done an equipment tour. Very interesting. Never seen the red International used. I always laugh when I see the lawn mower. Imagining this farmer businessman cuttin the lawn after managing such a complex business give me a chuckle. PEACE
I'm not sure what it is about your videos but I really enjoy watching man. Clover Farms chocolate milk is so good, it's super creamy and smooth. Pro tip, if you're ever in a Wawa's gas station they have a Double Dutch Chocolate milk in some locations amd it's amazing. I could drink 1000 of em
The last part is probably you & your Dad having the revelation that while Time=Money, More Time + More Money = Happiness. Yes you could save a few bucks and yes you could do it all yourself. However there is still a cost, like you said and it is your time. One of the few reasons I tend not to wrench as much anymore. Time is a finite resource and older you get you understand this.
I bought an after market seat suspension for my zero turn mower. You can find then online under Trac Seats. I'm pretty happy with it and if I tweak it a little it should get better

Chocolate milk $$$ & almost 400k ..nice work as always guys 🇺🇸🦅🍻

The close up views of the equipment makes the operating videos all the more impressive!
Even for a long time viewer who has seen, I believe, every upload this was awesome. Gave a great overview of all the equipment and what it's purpose is around the dairy.
Ditto, and agree!!
Hi Eric and dad awesome tours love video and as always you and your dad and families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Nice tour Eric - I enjoyed seeing the changes since watching the previous one. Thank you!
Makes my realize how long I have been a subscriber to your channel. Keep up the top class work Eric.
Just checked and been watching for over three years.
Thanks for the tour, Eric! It's nice to see a farmer that has a pickup with an 8' pickup box on it! That's a real truck!
It's amazing how fast time flies it just seems like yesterday you bought the tractor and a couple other pieces of equipment. Hope you guys have a great week

For more hydraulic outlets on the 4240, you can mount a manual tap to switch between two functions or an electric 6:2 valve
Y’all run a nice operation and have the eq needed. Enjoy helping from Texas a lot!!

Seeing the pile of sweet corn cobs in the spreader that looked like the kernels had been cut off makes me think someone has been putting up corn for the winter. We froze our corn and it was so good in the winter.
Nice reliable equipment! Also, finally!! We miss seeing you guys find random drinks, it’s a fun quirky thing. Keep up the good work!
Yeah! Last time he took the papers out of that tube (which is maintenace and warranty documents, I believe) he mentioned that it's a drink holder and 'we don't need those documents' and he tosses them aside. Very funny! 🤣

I wish there was a Clover Farms seller around here, but I buy from the wonderful Fair Oaks Farms products near us.
It’s amazing your dad had that tractor before he had you! And the fact that it still runs is crazy! Thanks for the video!
Very cool seeing all the equipment you guys use and have used. Thanks for sharing. You've come a long way!
Nice video. Thanks for the tour. Stay safe.
Good stuff as usual. Y'all have learned that maintenance does not cost, it pays.

Eric you have really nice equipment and you keep it all in top shape ! Nice video thank you so much for showing us what you have .
Nice line up of equipment you take good care of it to

An excellent video Eric, thanks for taking us on the tour! 👍🏻
really nice job and tour . Really enjoyed it Eric. Thank you
Eric, thanks for the overview of your equipment. I liked seeing everything and how/why you use it.
Personally I hope you never get rid of that international. That thing is awesome.
Thanks for the tour. Prior to my dad teaching film making at the University of Southern California, he worked for a small local commercial filmmaker in the early 50s. They did a commercial film for International Harvester where they filmed a combine engine run without water until it glowed red with heat. After it cooled they added water and it started right up!
Nice update, thanks!
I’ve been subscribed since before you bought the Kubota. I have no need for a skid steer, but I gotta have one of those.
Always love watching your video's nice farming set-up
Enjoyed watching your equipment tour, nice line of machinery. Favorite is the NH 7450 discbine which we sold when we retired from dairying, what a joy to operate!
Almost ready to hit 400K subs. Great job!
Thanks for the tour
Enjoyed your video. Thank You
Keep up the nice homestead

Great tour thank u. Didn't realize u could feed 200 cows plus young cattle on 250 acres. U run a very efficient farm.
We do buy a good amount of grain in
This is a very interesting video about your machinery. I am sure that you only have machines that you really need and that make your work easier 👍👍
I always look forward to a new upload. Thank you,
Great tour of the machinery
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC HAVE BLESSED DAY
Very cool. Was fun to see all of that stuff explained that we've been watching on the channel for a while. Love the honest reviews thanks.
Another great video Sir
Excellent maintenance guys!

Thank you
What a find that chocolate drink !!! They are in the most hidden places !! You are a lucky guy !! Keep up the good work. Greetings from Australia
The chocolate Milk! There it is, now you need to look for the MTN Dew. Thanks for posting a farm Equip Tour.
What an awesome video Eric thank you to you and your family for all y’all do and wow I like the chocolate milk holders you have though-out your dairy hmmm god bless
Excellent tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wonder if 9th Gen DM ever noticed the accidental hole in the back of the equipment barn 😁

Nice! Love your channel. I have a 4230 and it’s a workhorse
Amazing, Eric, at the difference in the two equipment tours, you have really❤ upgraded and necessarily so. You need good equipment for all you do.
Thanks for the update your! Have a great week Eric!(Robin)
Very good job
More numbers than I could ever remember.
Thank you for showing us your equipment you have a lot of it and it looks good
Great video. It's good seeing y'all don't have to keep up with the Jones on new equipment. Some think they have to have new equipment every couple years and then wonder why they ain't making no money. Keep up the good work stay safe and God bless y'all.
Awesome tour. Lots of love for the feed tractor.
If you got to add one new addition to the fleet, what would you choose?
Thank you for this!
All this time I think this is the first time Eric’s done an equipment tour. Very interesting. Never seen the red International used. I always laugh when I see the lawn mower. Imagining this farmer businessman cuttin the lawn after managing such a complex business give me a chuckle. PEACE
Chocolate milk holder on a manure spreader. Classic.
Nice equipment tour!
Y'all got some nice equip.
I'm not sure what it is about your videos but I really enjoy watching man.
Clover Farms chocolate milk is so good, it's super creamy and smooth. Pro tip, if you're ever in a Wawa's gas station they have a Double Dutch Chocolate milk in some locations amd it's amazing. I could drink 1000 of em
been waiting on this
The beverage storage compartment was sweet.
Nice. Thanks.
Awesome
Now, is the chocolate milk officially on the equipment list, or just an accessory? 🤣
always like your hidden drink bits!

Great video. I miss the found drinks
I bought an after market seat suspension for my zero turn mower. You can find then online under Trac Seats. I'm pretty happy with it and if I tweak it a little it should get better
Thanks I'll look into it
Good to see you still have a cool sense of humor milk 🥛 ,does a body good !!, wish we could get it where we live. I be getting it by the gallon !

Glad you found out how much your time and effort is worth with the liquid manure. It shows a large step towards maturity
I like your equipment man and whats a used skidsteer going for now a days
