I think Mike deserves an unsung hero award. For helping and teaching you how to run the combine and just being an overall super cool neighbor. He's the kind of neighbor everyone wants.
The gentleman who owns the combine seemed legitimately happy to be showing someone how to harvest. Nice work and I look forward to more Farmyard Digs!!
@@corerlt No matter how perfectly dialed in your combines settings are you are still going to have some ears of corn that end missed and on the ground, you have someone pick them up and toss them in the combine because that is part of your crop and you don't want to literally leave money on the ground.
This series was brilliant. I don't know why but to me this was more authentic than many car revivals. The kit was old and designed for the job it had to do but worked. You got advice and help from neighbours and not forgetting the weather which stayed good until the last minute. All in all the complete show.
I have been so impressed with this entire agricultural series. Not only have you taught many of us city dwellers more than we ever knew about agriculture, but you actually succeeded in growing and harvesting an impressive field of corn. Moby impressed, to use ancient slang.
@@quadruple_negative jeremy grew potatos veg and everything and he had animals he got slaughterd for meat so i doubt he lost much money during covid aswell im sure he got paid well for his contribution
I'm honestly impressed any of this worked nearly as well as it did, considering more than half the equipment sat outside for years, one had a seized engine, lots of rust working through and clogging various lines, etc. Goes to show just how resilient older equipment can be, and what a bit of hard work, dedication, assistance from friends and neighbors, and stubbornness can do to get abandoned and forgotten machines fully(ish) functional again. It was great fun watching it from start to finish!
A net profit of $410= one heck of an education, good stories, good content, and good friends. By my math Kevin, that is priceless. Shout out and thanks to everyone who helped you all make this happen. While being a city kid, and knowing zero about farming, I really enjoyed this series. Side note congrats to you and Mook. Thank you for all the hard work you guys put into these videos.
Most farmers couldn’t say that they paid off an entire line of equipment and made a profit their first year. Even if it is junk that’s an accomplishment.
He made 410 from the farming but there is the money from the videos to this one has a little over 1 million views so about 1000 just off of this video who knows about all the others combined
I hope that you guys carry this forward each year. There's no real money in the actual sale of the grain, but I think the content that it creates, and the chance that it gives for you guys to fix up equipment each year and try another crop is a good investment for the views and subscribers it will bring.
I think it's so great that you're helping a neighbor like this. Heating our homes is gonna be hard enough this year. You made it a little easier for one person. Way to give back. 😁👍
@@knote4958 in either a corn stove or a pellet stove, they burn cherry pits as well.,You can probably burn pretty much any pits or seeds as long as the stove is set up to handle the fuel , and the seed is dry enough. Corn stoves were pretty popular for a while till corn prices were very high and oil/gas was affordable. Now oil and gas are very expensive. I dont know about corn prices now but as we all know to well oil and gas are insane. Im sure corn isnt cheap , but in this video it may make mmore sense
I'm honestly just here for you guys. Whatever videos pop up here on the channel, I will watch. I get a kick watching y'all wander through life with all this mechanical mayhem
I have no desire to grow a field of corn, but this video is pretty interesting. The complexity of the machine and how well it works to harvest very quickly is amazing.
You have very cool farm neighbor friends. And you running off to defend your neighbors against fire. That just proves you are in the right place and you are a good neighbor too. Kevin, I am envous of country life stuck here in the city. It's hard work but I miss it. Love the video congrats on your harvest.
Fantastic that you got the corn in! Its interesting to see the difference between farming here (Wales, mainly livestock/sheep) and farming in North America, even if your cornfield was a bit on the "compact" side! I'd love to see more farming content next year, with a polite request for more Ford tractor content!
Yes! I grew up with two Ford tractors, a 1956 Powermaster with a front-end loader and a Dodge Powerwagon front axle, and a 1958 Workmaster, and lots of implements, used them daily and learned to drive on them. Very distinctive sound, different from most other tractors of the day. My family needed the money and sold them while I was overseas. I've missed them ever since!
I really enjoyed this series. Mike is an awesome guy! You can tell how much he still cares about that old machine by how much care he took in prepping it before he started harvesting and you can just tell by how smooth it runs too that it’s always been cared for.
Actually yeah! I see so many farmers parking their equipment outside without a care, it's a shame. If you can't buy a barn first you shouldn't try to farm!
I'm glad to hear that the combine and corn harvest turned out good. I remember sitting in my uncle's John Deere combine back in 1970. He farmed just outside of North Battleford, Saskatchewan. He suggested I tie up a rope to lean on and clean the front windscreen of it. I was 10 yrs. old, not much of a knot tyer and scared of falling, so I took the safe route and stuck to cleaning just the inside of the window. My cousin still lives there on the property but I believe is pretty much retired from farming. I enjoy you guys videos. BTW, I have a 96 F-250 4x4 automatic, extended cab, 351 W project truck that I bought last December. It runs and drives but I've done quite a few mechanical things to it to bring it up to better status. I'm amuzed at how so many shops in Kansas City really don't like to work on the older trucks . Parts can be a challenge to find sometimes as well. I can't seem to find good brake dust covers anywhere local. Also, there's a spring that goes into the parking brake that I believe even the Ford factory diagram has in the wrong position. Have a nice November and Thanksgiving! Rick
As a farmer that's not seen any other footage from this channel. The most impressive part is how weed free the fields were. I farm in south Texas and it gets harder by the minute to keep unwanted pests at bay. Never run one of the old 55's, but i did get to see one harvest corn before it went to rest forever. Amazing the job those old machines did.
100% here for small equipment farming. Loved seeing the Allis Chalmers. To bad you didn't find a gleaner but still neat to see a 3 row header. And to be honest you look happy dusty and the achievement level was off the charts. Have seen your eagle content. More AMC please. Have a great winter.
As someone who found your channel through the little car you picked up from Cole the Cornstar it was awesome watching you farm this year. This was a great series. I love your normal content though. The $410 profit is about right for farming...it's a business with a lot of cash flow but very little of it sticks around.
Love this mini farming series. You guys are learning so much; farmers not so long ago were the same machinery as ya'll. So glad the farmer offered you guys his help and experience, Please keep these videos of your farm life going.
So after a season, it looks like you guys did really well, all things considered. Watching the planting process, I never had much hope for any corn. You guys did well, hope you do it again next season 🤙🏻
Hi, I also received one of these 'Likes' so who or what do you think? Is it a scam? There's nothing "at Tele...m me" but the site seems to be using JYD's official logo. I am not going farther with this in order to get something that may well be a virus.
It’s just about impossible to start a farm these days unless you’re talking about glorified gardening. I don’t mean that to be rude. Just saying that you wouldn’t realistically make enough to cover the taxes on the land.
@@jhitt79 been wanting to start a game when I get out of highschool, grandfather owns ~700 acres and has a LOT of old iron I want to retire with him. That good enough for a farm?
I extremely happy to see you really have a big heart. When I saw the farmer picking your corn with his Combine I couldn't help but see how happy he was and when you sold him your at a lower cost i was about to cry your awesome and we need more people like you. Well today is Sunday and I haven't any luck getting this 454 running. Hopefully today is the day for tomorrow morning I'm back on the road. Thank you for this awesome video.
This was a tremendous series. I loved it and it was so entertaining. Congratulations on a successful harvest. A lot of hard work, blood sweat, and tears but the experience and knowledge is priceless. You make me want to farm!!!! Lol. I hope you do this again next year. I will certainly watch and keep an eye out. Love your channel and content. Keep it going!!!
What memories this brings back for me. My dad went back into farming in 1963 when I was 6. He grew corn and beans in East Central Illinois. He farmed 1000 acres that year and harvested all the corn with a JD 45 and a 2 row corn head compared to your 55 and a 3 row head. He finished shortly before Christmas that yr! Thanks for the memories!
From someone who’s been here when you did this part time. The farming stuff is cool on many levels. Great job changing things up and keeping it interesting!
I have really enjoyed the farming series. The owner must have really cared for this old machine for it to just fire up like that and with only normal maintenance be able to go out and harvest a field. Glad everyone came together and got that field fire out quickly too! Your farmer neighbor seems pretty awesome. I you hope you continue this series next year. $400 will buy a bunch of Busch beer and maybe even a car to revive for the main content!
Made the front page local paper awhile back getting an international 403 on propane combine to get a 9610 out of a bind before a hurricane hit. Even unloaded on the go. Put extensions on the auger and hopper. Truckers were laughing when the tractor and auger cart was bigger than the combine. Pretty smooth running machine that dropped very little grain. Only thing it didn't have a Worley bird on the radiator screen. Had to get out and wipe it off when the engine temp started climbing. This video brings back old teenage memories.
So wholesome that that old farmer took the time to help you learn how to properly farm and operate the combine. That’s why I love em, truly something lost in todays generation!
I started watching Junkyard digs for the car stuff, and then the farm stuff came along, it is just as interesting. I have been waiting for the harvest and was not disappointed. A highlight was the combine owner and the in cab views with the owner, Mook and yourself. Keep up the good work.
Kevin, you are a star. You are a natural teacher who has a way of describing things so simply that they become easy to understand, even to me. Mook is the perfect teamate too. Her positive vibes and great attitude make her a perfect addition to your crew. I know this has been said before but we all need a Mook in our lives. Your show is seem-less and extremely well edited with great content throughout. I love watching you guys. The only advice I have is keep doing what you are doing and never give up!! I need to get some JunkYard Digs merch. You have made me a fan for life. Congrats! :)
Man I really think it's cool that you not only get old car and truck's running and back on the road. But reviving Old farm equipment and using it is really cool. I love these farming videos you've incorporated into your channel. Keep up the fantastic work
It was rewarding to see the 55 take out the corn. My uncle had a model like that. First combine he purchased, brings back tons of memories. It appears the old gal is in pretty good condition. Nice to see that old iron still operating, considering the majority of that series has long ago returned to the recycling heap. I was wondering when a combine video was coming. Now what? Tillage? and are you going to do a corn/soybean rotation? Enjoyed the series and the channel!
I worked for my uncle on a dry land wheat farm in Eastern Washington State 50+ years ago. He had a John Deere 55H combine. Probably built in the late 50s. Flat head Hercules in line 6, gas engine. 14ft wheat header. I really really enjoyed this series. I really hope you do it again next year!!! All you guys are great. A shout out from Eastern Washington!!😀😀
No, you don't sound like an ass. You and Mook share your work and projects on here with us, and we love it. BUT you guys are TOTALLY entitled to your privacy. Your home and your shop are your space, no-one should feel entitled to come drop in on you. Great series guys, totally enjoyed every episode! Well done!
Not that you should go to "famous" people's homes, but privacy is out the window when you put yourself out there for profit. Don't want your home known? Do not film it. See how Ave does it. That man is truly private and does not try to sell you anything.( Omaze by the way is a scam see what cleetus McFarland has to say about it.)
I love the farm equipment episodes. I hope you continue doing farming projects every year as season allows. Even a basic farming setup seems just astronomically out of reach. These episodes might give hope to people trying to start farming using what they can get their hands on.
Heating a house w corn, would have never known such a thing existed....great entertaining series everyone......😁😁.... and a huge thank you to your neighbors for helping...
Little videos like this remind me of my grandparents farm in Michigan. Corn and soybean are the usual crops that are raised on their farm. I love watching the combines harvesting the crops.
You aren't even close new combines are in the high 8 to 9 hundred thousand dollars with some over the million mark just fir machine. Headers are 200 to 300 thousand
I see that you are up to 870 k subscription holders, I will wish you the best, going to send my cousin is to watch and see what he says about your old abandoned equipment. Thanks for the cheering up this morning. Great day to you and again Congratulations on your engagement to Mook!
Really enjoyed the farming series, the people that have come out to help, especially the guy who helped combine are awsome. It's great to see people helping and sharing knowledge.
Maybe a tarp under the screener to catch the falling kernels. That way it can be picked up and added to the screener. Less mess to clean up. Kevin, I enjoyed the video. Very informative and turned out productive. Thanks and God Bless.
Another brilliant series, JYD is the perfect mix right now. Not too pushy with ads and sponsors, and fantastic entertainment. Honestly please don’t change the dynamic - this is better than anything on TV!
You need to do a 2nd year to which you can do wheat. Then the 3rd year soybeans and the 4th year sunflower, and so on. Really I hope to see this farm episodes expand to even more. I really like these videos.
I liked the energy in this video everybody being in good spirits despite some minor hardships. It must be a real blessing to have such good people around. Keep up the videos.
Thank you for taking us through the whole process! For those who aren’t familiar with what farming is all about this was, on a small scale, a good example of how much work is involved! Great content, thanks for the video!
This has been my favorite revival style series on youtube, thank you guys for doing it and would defninitely love to see more farm-related videos. Either equipment revivals or if you guys were going to do it all again next season with different equipment!
I love the old farm equipment content. It’s really cool. I’m still waiting on the raycons I ordered last Friday. Said it should be here in 3 days. *ope Nevermind they just came
Return them they are terrible alot of TH-camrs only talk positive about because of the paycheck look up dankpods video on them he does a really good review on them
If it aint fun it aint worth doing. I hope this series will encourage others to grow something even if its only in a few pots. Got hooked on this and sat up till 2am watching. fantastic series.
I love your channel! From will it start 6o the campers, boats and especially the farm eqiipment! I think you showed a lot of people that just because a piece of equipment is old doesn't mean its outdated or can't be productive! I would to see an ongoing series of restoring each piece of equipment and continue to farm on a small scale for feed or organics or fuel....I think its especially cool that you included the owner of the combine and his family....more importantly showing how the family farm pulls together....anyway....I just think its really cool...thanks for sharing!
Awesome series on corn planting and harvest. Loved it and I love old farm equipment as well. After our Massey Super 92 combine rotted away from the inside, It was stripped of "everything combine" and a 12 foot snow blade was added to it and it's been pushing snow now for 14 years. This combine had a cab on it and all it needed was a heater and refreshment holder. It's a site to see and all the neighbors get a laugh when they see my rig rollin snow...lol. Love all the vids, so keep them coming. Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada.
I love the farming stuff. I grew up on a farm in Nebraska back in the 80s-90s now that im old in indiana i send these videos to my dad and we enjoy the heck outta them.
Love this series reminds me of growing up I would rescue old tractors from the old farms around me in Wisconsin and put them to work in the summer doing hay
Love these episodes. You have great neighbors and family. Reminds me of my younger days growing up in mi. Spent alot of time on old farms farming. Makes me miss the good ol days
I work in agriculture and live on a farm. I love the farming stuff using old equipment. It is fascinating to see how you get it all going and keep it working. The vehicle videos are great too. Keep them coming. Cheers from Australia
You've inspired me to farm with my friend. 8 acres and old equipment like you used. 1950s/1960s style farming. I enjoyed this series as much as the automobile stuff
I enjoyed this, it is great to see the old iron put back into operation thru out the whole season. Must have been fun to be able harvest your own crop, congratulations. You appear to have great neighbors and they looked like they enjoyed the process also, glad you folks got that fire under control and nothing or no one got destroyed. I do respect your privacy, I get that sir. Thanks for the ride along.
I was glad to see all the farming stuff it makes you realize what all Farmers have to go through to feed us thanks Kevin and mook and everybody else in the video today LOL
Besides the Satellite you brought back to life with Luke and the first F250 from way back, this is my favorite JYD series. I'd love to see it next year aswell!
Congratulations on your first successful crop and thanks to all those that helped and to you both for sharing the fun adventure. 400 isn't a great profit but way better than a $2000 loss, you're playing with a lot of variables in this game you have no choice with if it don't rain or rains to much. As they say welcome to the real world of farming, Looking forward to see if you grow something next year. Take care guys.
This series is absolutely amazing, besides loving old machinery and all of your videos in general , im currently taking an agroecology tech course (I’ll admit im more interested on the Agro part than at the ecology one) which makes your videos even more interesting for me, kudos from the 3rd most farming country in the world, Brazil 🇧🇷

The gentleman who owns the combine seemed legitimately happy to be showing someone how to harvest. Nice work and I look forward to more Farmyard Digs!!
It's more the fact that he's happy to use it again and seeing it work
Why picking corn of hte ground by hand?
@@corerlt No matter how perfectly dialed in your combines settings are you are still going to have some ears of corn that end missed and on the ground, you have someone pick them up and toss them in the combine because that is part of your crop and you don't want to literally leave money on the ground.
Lack a maintenance is gonna kill that nice ole machine - stupid should hurt
@@corerlt Corn = Money it's that simple.
neighbor mike seems like such an amazing dude, imagine the campfire stories he could tell
I gotta tell you... I grew up in the suburbs. Your series on farming was absolutely entertaining AND informative! I really enjoyed it!

Yes please. As an old farm hand, I appreciate the farming content. Try wheat next year. Or sunflower seeds.
Keep the farming stuff coming. So cool. Was waiting for this!
We definitely need more of the farming stuff
Screw corn, how about BEANS?
Well bigger pliers anyway.
This series has been amazing. It’s felt like an American Clarkson’s Farm, which season 2 can’t come out soon enough.
Well Kevin made more profit than Clarkson did and he doesn't even have a Lamborghini tractor.

He farmed 1000 acres that year and harvested all the corn with a JD 45 and a 2 row corn head compared to your 55 and a 3 row head. He finished shortly before Christmas that yr! Thanks for the memories!
Oh man, this has been a terrific series from start to finish! I hope you do it again next year!
From someone who’s been here when you did this part time. The farming stuff is cool on many levels. Great job changing things up and keeping it interesting!
I have really enjoyed the farming series. The owner must have really cared for this old machine for it to just fire up like that and with only normal maintenance be able to go out and harvest a field. Glad everyone came together and got that field fire out quickly too! Your farmer neighbor seems pretty awesome. I you hope you continue this series next year. $400 will buy a bunch of Busch beer and maybe even a car to revive for the main content!
Good video series, you got to wrench on stuff you don't normally and got to help out a neighbor. Mike seemed glad to teach you and give a hand.
Made the front page local paper awhile back getting an international 403 on propane combine to get a 9610 out of a bind before a hurricane hit. Even unloaded on the go. Put extensions on the auger and hopper. Truckers were laughing when the tractor and auger cart was bigger than the combine. Pretty smooth running machine that dropped very little grain. Only thing it didn't have a Worley bird on the radiator screen. Had to get out and wipe it off when the engine temp started climbing. This video brings back old teenage memories.
So wholesome that that old farmer took the time to help you learn how to properly farm and operate the combine. That’s why I love em, truly something lost in todays generation!
I started watching Junkyard digs for the car stuff, and then the farm stuff came along, it is just as interesting. I have been waiting for the harvest and was not disappointed. A highlight was the combine owner and the in cab views with the owner, Mook and yourself. Keep up the good work.
The smiles on Kevin and Mook's faces are priceless when they're in the video together ☺️
Kevin, you are a star. You are a natural teacher who has a way of describing things so simply that they become easy to understand, even to me. Mook is the perfect teamate too. Her positive vibes and great attitude make her a perfect addition to your crew. I know this has been said before but we all need a Mook in our lives. Your show is seem-less and extremely well edited with great content throughout. I love watching you guys. The only advice I have is keep doing what you are doing and never give up!! I need to get some JunkYard Digs merch. You have made me a fan for life. Congrats! :)
Mook 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
Sad that they only made one ! 😭
Man I really think it's cool that you not only get old car and truck's running and back on the road. But reviving Old farm equipment and using it is really cool. I love these farming videos you've incorporated into your channel. Keep up the fantastic work
I really enjoy this series. I hope you continue with more of these episodes
You lucked out buying that planter from Mike, what a great finish to the growing season. :)
It was rewarding to see the 55 take out the corn. My uncle had a model like that. First combine he purchased, brings back tons of memories. It appears the old gal is in pretty good condition. Nice to see that old iron still operating, considering the majority of that series has long ago returned to the recycling heap. I was wondering when a combine video was coming. Now what? Tillage? and are you going to do a corn/soybean rotation? Enjoyed the series and the channel!
I worked for my uncle on a dry land wheat farm in Eastern Washington State 50+ years ago. He had a John Deere 55H combine. Probably built in the late 50s. Flat head Hercules in line 6, gas engine. 14ft wheat header. I really really enjoyed this series. I really hope you do it again next year!!! All you guys are great. A shout out from Eastern Washington!!😀😀
I love seeing these farming videos! It would be awesome if you guys invested in balling equipment and did wheat next year! Keep up the awesome content
No, you don't sound like an ass. You and Mook share your work and projects on here with us, and we love it. BUT you guys are TOTALLY entitled to your privacy. Your home and your shop are your space, no-one should feel entitled to come drop in on you.
Great series guys, totally enjoyed every episode! Well done!
Not that you should go to "famous" people's homes, but privacy is out the window when you put yourself out there for profit. Don't want your home known? Do not film it. See how Ave does it. That man is truly private and does not try to sell you anything.( Omaze by the way is a scam see what cleetus McFarland has to say about it.)
I love the farm equipment episodes. I hope you continue doing farming projects every year as season allows. Even a basic farming setup seems just astronomically out of reach. These episodes might give hope to people trying to start farming using what they can get their hands on.
Heating a house w corn, would have never known such a thing existed....great entertaining series everyone......😁😁.... and a huge thank you to your neighbors for helping...
A lot of pellet stoves are actually rated for and capable of burning corn without modification.
Little videos like this remind me of my grandparents farm in Michigan. Corn and soybean are the usual crops that are raised on their farm. I love watching the combines harvesting the crops.
Nowadays people usually have big,new, $80,000-$90,000 combines, but it’s kinda nice to see an old piece of Machinery doing some good farm work.
You aren't even close new combines are in the high 8 to 9 hundred thousand dollars with some over the million mark just fir machine. Headers are 200 to 300 thousand
$80-90k? Try 500k for a little one lol.
I see that you are up to 870 k subscription holders, I will wish you the best, going to send my cousin is to watch and see what he says about your old abandoned equipment. Thanks for the cheering up this morning. Great day to you and again Congratulations on your engagement to Mook!
I really enjoyed this farming series. I hope you do it again next year. I always enjoy seeing Angus on the channel.
Really enjoyed the farming series, the people that have come out to help, especially the guy who helped combine are awsome. It's great to see people helping and sharing knowledge.
Great series of videos! I learned alot about farming equipment and planting. Please do this again next year! Farmyard Digs is great watching!
Maybe a tarp under the screener to catch the falling kernels. That way it can be picked up and added to the screener. Less mess to clean up. Kevin, I enjoyed the video. Very informative and turned out productive. Thanks and God Bless.
Another brilliant series, JYD is the perfect mix right now. Not too pushy with ads and sponsors, and fantastic entertainment. Honestly please don’t change the dynamic - this is better than anything on TV!
You need to do a 2nd year to which you can do wheat. Then the 3rd year soybeans and the 4th year sunflower, and so on. Really I hope to see this farm episodes expand to even more. I really like these videos.
I was such a huge fan of this series! This was just the coolest thing ever. I hope you guys definitely do this again!
I liked the energy in this video everybody being in good spirits despite some minor hardships. It must be a real blessing to have such good people around. Keep up the videos.
Thank you for taking us through the whole process! For those who aren’t familiar with what farming is all about this was, on a small scale, a good example of how much work is involved! Great content, thanks for the video!
This has been my favorite revival style series on youtube, thank you guys for doing it and would defninitely love to see more farm-related videos. Either equipment revivals or if you guys were going to do it all again next season with different equipment!
I love the old farm equipment content. It’s really cool. I’m still waiting on the raycons I ordered last Friday. Said it should be here in 3 days. *ope Nevermind they just came
Return them they are terrible alot of TH-camrs only talk positive about because of the paycheck look up dankpods video on them he does a really good review on them
If it aint fun it aint worth doing. I hope this series will encourage others to grow something even if its only in a few pots. Got hooked on this and sat up till 2am watching.
fantastic series.
My favorite series you guys have done! Looking forward to more farming with abandonded equipment in the future, please!
Kevin is such an awesome Producer as well as YTer. What a great series.
Brings back so many amazing memories of being a kid and helping on our farm. Love this content guys (and Mook).
I love your channel! From will it start 6o the campers, boats and especially the farm eqiipment! I think you showed a lot of people that just because a piece of equipment is old doesn't mean its outdated or can't be productive! I would to see an ongoing series of restoring each piece of equipment and continue to farm on a small scale for feed or organics or fuel....I think its especially cool that you included the owner of the combine and his family....more importantly showing how the family farm pulls together....anyway....I just think its really cool...thanks for sharing!
Awesome series on corn planting and harvest. Loved it and I love old farm equipment as well. After our Massey Super 92 combine rotted away from the inside, It was stripped of "everything combine" and a 12 foot snow blade was added to it and it's been pushing snow now for 14 years. This combine had a cab on it and all it needed was a heater and refreshment holder. It's a site to see and all the neighbors get a laugh when they see my rig rollin snow...lol. Love all the vids, so keep them coming. Cheers from Saskatchewan, Canada.
I love the farming stuff. I grew up on a farm in Nebraska back in the 80s-90s now that im old in indiana i send these videos to my dad and we enjoy the heck outta them.
Can't express how much I'm enjoying this episode! What an interesting piece of farming equipment..time to research how it works.
Love this series reminds me of growing up I would rescue old tractors from the old farms around me in Wisconsin and put them to work in the summer doing hay
Love these episodes. You have great neighbors and family. Reminds me of my younger days growing up in mi. Spent alot of time on old farms farming. Makes me miss the good ol days
Excellent series and a welcome change from the usual will-it-run content. I'm awarding you top honors - 5 Jalapeños! Cheers, from San Antonio, Texas!
I work in agriculture and live on a farm. I love the farming stuff using old equipment. It is fascinating to see how you get it all going and keep it working. The vehicle videos are great too. Keep them coming. Cheers from Australia
Very nice to see people helping out and with just such magnificent machines. Really intuitive and effective setup to fill that corn silo.
Always love the farming episodes
All the best to all….
Great episode, Guys .
You've inspired me to farm with my friend. 8 acres and old equipment like you used. 1950s/1960s style farming. I enjoyed this series as much as the automobile stuff
I enjoyed this, it is great to see the old iron put back into operation thru out the whole season. Must have been fun to be able harvest your own crop, congratulations. You appear to have great neighbors and they looked like they enjoyed the process also, glad you folks got that fire under control and nothing or no one got destroyed. I do respect your privacy, I get that sir. Thanks for the ride along.
Super cool series! Cool to see the Ole 55 up and running, the old farmer had a glint in his eye
I was glad to see all the farming stuff it makes you realize what all Farmers have to go through to feed us thanks Kevin and mook and everybody else in the video today LOL
I REALLY LIKE THESE FARM VIDEOS!!!! KEEP THEM COMING!! it's a nice change up from time to time..
Cars and land is right up my alley!
Besides the Satellite you brought back to life with Luke and the first F250 from way back, this is my favorite JYD series. I'd love to see it next year aswell!
I love this series of videos. It helps me understand how farming and harvesting works, showed on a smaller scale. Very informative!
Congratulations on your first successful crop and thanks to all those that helped and to you both for sharing the fun adventure. 400 isn't a great profit but way better than a $2000 loss, you're playing with a lot of variables in this game you have no choice with if it don't rain or rains to much. As they say welcome to the real world of farming, Looking forward to see if you grow something next year. Take care guys.
That is a heck of a nice JD 55 - that fella took good care of it!
Love watching this old equipment work!
I hope you do this again. I loved every minute of watching this whole series
I love how wobbly the mechanical bits are, and yet they're still working.
This series is absolutely amazing, besides loving old machinery and all of your videos in general , im currently taking an agroecology tech course (I’ll admit im more interested on the Agro part than at the ecology one) which makes your videos even more interesting for me, kudos from the 3rd most farming country in the world, Brazil 🇧🇷
Love this episode, reminds me of my childhood growing up on our farm ♥️🌽
