Since it’s Father’s Day something I’ve always wanted to say to you personally is how I am awestruck by what tremendous respect you have for your children. You speak to them with great respect and dignity. What a great role model for fathers today this is a comment from a father of 12 good job.
Agreed and it has had a positive impact on the boys too. I got the opportunity to speak with them earlier this week at the Hot Rod Power Tour and the three of them are very respectful young men.
@@travisfletcher3511 Show me, Exactly, what part of Trey's, entertaining, comment that says that he secretly desires to be Derek? I'm just a simple Georgia Redneck so I'm Sloooooow to pick up on these things? Show me quick so I can help you verbally beat up ole Trey!
Showing your son how to fix things instead of just buying new is priceless! Bentley obviously idolizes you , and is absorbing everything you show him like a sponge. What a perfect way to spend Father's day!
Every time I see Bentley throwing a tire back on and tightening the lugs in a star pattern, it makes me smile. You've given your kids the greatest gift they could ever receive ... your time.
Keep watching this of course. No one is better that A Guy. But try "Sonne Farms". It's a channel with a young man and his father farming in South Dakota, raising crops and cattle. They love each other and work more before lunch than I do in a month. All with a sense of humor.
I grew up in North Dakota, my dad lived there for his entire life. A guy said “a guy could…” all the time, and hearing Derek say it makes me think of my dad, may his memory be eternal.
Me too. I miss him so much. He was a farmer and mechanic in North Dakota, a lot of his mannerisms and sayings were pretty similar to Derek’s. I love seeing how great of a dad Derek is, it’s heartwarming.
Several years ago, my F-I-L got a junk hay cutter from a friend. It was a German made piece of equipment with two vertical rotating spools with blades on the bottom. I helped him go through it and get it running. That was his gateway drug into the world of making hay. He bought rakes, and a square baler , and a machine that picked up the square bales and stacked them on the hay wagon, and then a used round baler, then the tool to make round bale belts from belt stock, then new(er) more modern equipment. He ran out of pasture to cut, and started share cropping any other fields he could find. The round bales are easier, but everyone who shows animals, or travels with horses, or who is trying to control erosion wants square bales, and he had no problem selling all he made.
Between the farming stuff and your normal car content, you are by far the best TH-camr around. A guy just wanted to say thanks for the endless hours of viewing pleasure we all get.
These videos remind me of my father and I, out in the shop every evening getting it done, he wasn't a very vocal guy but some of my favorite memories were late nights in the shop or in the field. We need more fathers like you in the world Derek. Happy Fathers Day to a guy who deserves it.
That hay conditioner is in actually great condition for its age nice purchase. Your kids have it made, they get to be farm kids, i love it, making memories bud awesome job.
My dad was a truck driver, local delivery, unload by hand. I was about Bentley's age when I would work with him in the summer when school was out. This is back in the early 70's before some lawyer would call it child abuse. I also always helped when we were painting around the house. Father and son gain a lot of respect for each other when they work together like that.
Having your sons and or daughters working with you on a farm is traditionally how the knowledge is passed on. I still have fond memories of working on my cousin's farm up in north central Iowa when I was a kid. Up before the sun and out working feeding the animals and doing other chores. Fixing the haying equipment was always winter work so it would be ready in the spring. Back then we used to make some pocket money (25 cents an hour) walking the beans for other farmers.
The individual sickle blades and how they exist in a bar really brought back some memories. The guard was what protected these blades. I had a few wrenches in my Owatonna swather and I had to fix whatever did not sound right. The sound of my sickle bar was what let me know I was doing well.
I was thinking the same thing only BIGGER 😂 Rebuilt many sickle bars while on wheat harvest (30 footers) We would have an assembly line set up, 4 to 6 guys, and could knock one out in a couple hours. We would re rivet them so it would take a little longer. When we got done had a brand new bar down to the wobble box bushings and grease EVERYWHERE 😂 And yeah at least a 2 day deal as we had 6 machines.
I love watching anything your involved with. Keep on making things!! Also something you’ll enjoy is the first time you catch a groundhog in-between the rollers more or less have to cut them out 😂
From Randy in Chattanooga: HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DEREK!!! MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE!!! Nothing better than spending YOUR day with the “littlest human that you’re responsible for “.
I really enjoy you working with Bentley. What a great thing you’re doing for him and for your relationship. He’s a chip off the old block at least from here. You set an excellent example for other fathers to follow to include their children in on projects. Lost my Dad many years ago and it warms my heart to see you and your youngest, actually any of your boys working together. Thanks for what you do - love your videos and all ya’ll. God Bless
Thank you for the great videos! Here's a tip on replacing sections. When we farmed, every spring we would replace a few sections and here's how we removed sections fast and easy. After pulling the sickle bar, bring the bar over to a good size anvil, set the bar on top of the anvil and tip the bar sideways so the sections are pointing down. Then set only the bar on the edge of the anvil with sickles hanging over the edge. Take a good sized hammer and hit the section on the top and the rivets shear right off. A guy could take off all of the sections off in minutes doing it this way.
Oofta. I've replaced thousands of sickle blades when I was younger, 40 to 50 years ago. On combines with 24' headers, to self propelled windrowers. All with rivets, smashed with a hammer. Great experience for the youngster. Rivets are soft, decent chisel will knock the nub off, then a small punch to get the rest out.
I remember replacing sickle knives every summer on the farm growing up. Put the bar in the vice loose and whack the sickle blade on the back side. Removed in one whack. Knock out rivets and rerivet. We had a rivet tool which was slow, once you master a rivet punch, you are on a roll.
Hey Derek it was great to be your” neighbor “for the whole weekend at a particular place and was cool to meet you and your boys. So polite and well mannered.Didn’t know If the gift I left ya was a guys particular flavor but at least it’s a cool bottle and figured I’d never get that opportunity again🤣. Didnt have paper so a paper plate had to do. Very cool experience for me and I had to resist the urge to ask for a pic or autograph but I respect a man’s family time and a chance to get away! Hope you had a good Father’s Day weekend.
Reminds me of working on tractors and everything else with my dad. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but they are some of my favorite memories. Good job y'all.
Thank you, your videos have convinced me to fire up the old shop and start turning wrenches on my old ford and bringing an old Massey Ferguson back to live
Love seeing u work and interact with Bentley and your other two boys. Brings back great memories of times spent with my dad and brother! Have a great Father’s Day buddy!
Growing up on a small farm, we made thousands and thousands of hay bales. My dad taught me how to change teeth on the cutter bar of our haybine, among other things. This video brought back so many memories of me and my dad. I wish he was still around to see your videos. I'm glad you're passing the information on to your son. Thank you for this video.
I remember sitting on the seat with my dad while he was driving our John Deere "poppin' Johnny" tractor. I might have been 5, but not any older. A memory I have from way back yonder...circa 1954-57. I can't recall the year.
We use a new idea 272 cutditioner and pull it with a 4610 diesel Ford tractor, and it takes all the hp,the 4610 has to run it, so I bought a 7000 Ford diesel, and it runs it no problem. I still use the 4610 for square bailing. we use a new holland 316 square baler, and the 7000 runs the round baler.
Really awesome ur teaching lil fella old school farming. My dad thought me. We farmed many acres that way. Keep up the great work. Keeping ol school alive n well.
Happy fathers day Derek!!! Your a couple hand full's younger than me and we have the same vibe... Farmed full time til I was 36... been 22 years now, wow... Dad just retired fall 23... Used to take vaca to go back and get fifthly farming, LOL... I too was a wrenching guy, still am with my 2002 Porsche... all I have left, living in a condo doing remote IT work... Would rather be getting out, busted knuckles, covered in dirt, oil, diesel, hog sht, lol... Life took a turn and I really miss those days...
Enjoy watching you fix this old equipment up. Nice that in addition to getting it mechanically sound, you spruce it up with some paint here and there. Thx
So many memories replacing sickle teeth on the Gehl 1080. Learned how to weld on that machine when it broke in half under the gearbox!!!! We had a rivet tool that punched the old rivet out sometime. lol love the chanels Derick!!!
I remember refurbishing a sickle with my dad when I was about Bentley’s age. That was a lot of years ago but still remember it like it was yesterday. Derek you are a smart man filling your boys minds with information that can actually do them some good. You and your bride are good people and your family is better because of it. Your boys are going to be productive young men and that’s because you took the time. Good work to you, Bentley, and the rest of your family.
My parents were farm kids in Kansas but moved to the city to start our family, so I only got to see farm stuff until the grandparents retired and sold the place. I am fascinated by the old mechanical equipment and would like to see more detail about how it all works. Great job keeping Bentley interested - watching him learn and become proficient (welding!!) is awesome. He adds a lot to your videos, and seeing the love and respect between you both makes this the best content on YT.
I love this content,it's nice to see another guy like me that enjoys everything from old farm equipment to procharged burnout cars.Happy father's day Derek.
I am sure that if there’s anyone on this earth that can figure out how to fix or run a piece of equipment Derek will be the man keep up the good work love your videos very educational
Happy Father’s Day, Derek!! Watching this made me think of my late father, a North Dakota guy who used farm equipment that was almost exclusively from the 1940s, with a “fancy” tractor from the early 1960s. He was a mechanic for farm equipment, so he was able to work on his own equipment. He could fix anything, much like you!
Love how you work with your boys. All that knowledge and love to depart. I cant believe it buy I have to is right infront of my eyes. Warms the cockles of fellas heart! Keep it up!!!
A guys got a brandy new john deere CAB tractor !!!! Never thought I would see the day !!! Been watching for a while and I love the old stuff but man is it sweet to have something new every once in a while you guys deserve it !!!
just seeing one of these again makes me happy we have a big NH swother with AC and big balers with nice tractors and rakes we used to use one of these when i was growing up with an open cab tractor when i was in 6/7/8th grade and it made for some hell during those hot July days now i just jump in the swother and lay down 350 acres like its nothing and still get home for dinner.
If you ever get tired of chasing cars you could have a dude ranch were teenagers go and stay with you and learn how to do a ranch hand eat like the old days the 3 bs beans bacon and bread old tools give them pride just like your kids are rich in knowledge and they have respect and wants to learn great job you are doing
I remember working on our old haybine with my dad a couple years ago. Not many things better than giving some equipment a new life alongside your father. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Derek, thank you!! I've been using a "eyecrometer" to measure my inability to fix things forever. After watching your succeed using an "eyemeter" i switched and my ability to cause me pain and destroy everything i touch is up by at least 50%!
Good to see you got your son out helping. I always helped my dad and learned from him. He’s 69 now and I’m 45. So took over the tough work and cutting bailing a long time ago. He still rakes for me helps me with the maintenance. He does really good to be 69. I’m lucky he’s been good about having check ups. 4 year ago they caught prostate cancer just as it started. He had it took care of. It runs in the family on his side. Anyway I’m starting to get my son out with us he’s 12. So he can take over for me, lol. We got all done right before this heat luckily, hope you have also.
Happy Father's Day, I must say to grow up with a father with such a wealth of knowledge and watching you pass it's on to your son. Not to mention the time you spend with your young ones is truly amazing.
Truly amazing to see the way that you and your sons work together. And bentley is a miniature version of you. And he has a fantastic work ethic that is very rare in today’s society. Outstanding sir
It’s always nice to see Bentley working alongside Derek. It’s fun to watch him getting more comfortable working on stuff, with less input needed by Dad. You guys are both making memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for the Videos. Be careful around that farm equipment, have a safe hay season.
I Just love it when you and Bentley get out and do things together. Derek he is such a chip off the old big block following in your footsteps. Awesome as always
Excellent video, you mentioned working on a similar machine with your grandfather, well,30 or 40 years from now Bentley will be remembering and telling someone about rebuilding a Hay machine with his dad.
I’m thoroughly enjoying the vintage farm equipment repair/restoration. Reminds me of growing up on a tree nursery with all the old equipment we had. I hope you guys continue to do that on this channel.
This addition will be very helpful getting the hay raked up once all the maintenance is finished. Bentley is Derek's right hand guy helping his Dad with most anything around the house! Good video as always!
Happy Father’s Day Feller! Glad that you’re making the old rig look better also. I always tried to teach kids that if you’re ride looks good you will feel better about yourself.
The short person you're responsible for sure does get into it. That work ethic is what will make him a true star when he's out there on his own. Happy Fathers' Day.
Happy Father's Day!!! My dad has been gone near 30 Years now. I really miss him on Father's Day. However, watching you and Bentley working together brought back some fond memories of dad and I doing the same things. I think the piece of equipment I miss the most was the old John Deere "B". I think it was a '38 or '39 model. It was pre-electric start anyway. Your doing a great job with your boys! One day, like me, they'll look back on this time with love in their hearts. 👍
you can really see things blowing around outside through the garage doors. Hopefully no damage. I miss my dad.....lost him too soon. Was always learning somethin new and I regret not paying more attention to learn more. Good job raising your boys....you done good.
Derek, that youngster of yours is such a hard worker, it's unusual to see a youngster with his work ethic, you must be one proud father, he definitely wants to be a just like his dad, this was a great father's day video, keep up the great work guys. 🇬🇧
Happy Father's Day Really Appreciate watching Bentley working with you (Hands on) the way I started out with my career in the mechanics Thanx for sharing your Great work Have a Great Day 👍

Thanks 👍
I hope you get some cows.
😁😁😁😁
No idea what a hay bine is or does but I'll watch to learn. More entertaining than a Rockies game.
Raised on Cotton farming, I know absolutely nothing about hay bailing, but did I watch every minute? 100%
The individual sickle blades and how they exist in a bar really brought back some memories. The guard was what protected these blades. I had a few wrenches in my Owatonna swather and I had to fix whatever did not sound right. The sound of my sickle bar was what let me know I was doing well.

I remember working on our old haybine with my dad a couple years ago. Not many things better than giving some equipment a new life alongside your father. Happy Father’s Day everyone!
Hey Derek love the farm videos!
Derek, thank you!!
I've been using a "eyecrometer" to measure my inability to fix things forever. After watching your succeed using an "eyemeter" i switched and my ability to cause me pain and destroy everything i touch is up by at least 50%!
Right on Time!!!!
The perfect project for father's Day! -- Those hours are together and the lessons shared are priceless. Just pure communication.
Happy Father's Day
My grandsons call their hammers Tonya Harding thanks to you Derek and Grama Joyce for teaching them to call it that. 😊😅😂❤❤ Happy Father's Day
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good to see you got your son out helping. I always helped my dad and learned from him. He’s 69 now and I’m 45. So took over the tough work and cutting bailing a long time ago. He still rakes for me helps me with the maintenance. He does really good to be 69. I’m lucky he’s been good about having check ups. 4 year ago they caught prostate cancer just as it started. He had it took care of. It runs in the family on his side. Anyway I’m starting to get my son out with us he’s 12. So he can take over for me, lol. We got all done right before this heat luckily, hope you have also.
Happy Father's day Derek!
Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the fact that you have always had your boys in your videos.. its awesome to see the son and dad working together passing on the knowledge.
Hi Derek, love your clips ❤
My dad was a lot like you. He loved to have his boys help him on projects and revivals. Miss you so much, daddy!
Come on people, just subscribe!
Happy Father's Day, I must say to grow up with a father with such a wealth of knowledge and watching you pass it's on to your son. Not to mention the time you spend with your young ones is truly amazing.
Truly amazing to see the way that you and your sons work together. And bentley is a miniature version of you. And he has a fantastic work ethic that is very rare in today’s society. Outstanding sir
It’s always nice to see Bentley working alongside Derek. It’s fun to watch him getting more comfortable working on stuff, with less input needed by Dad. You guys are both making memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks for the Videos. Be careful around that farm equipment, have a safe hay season.
So much nicer with the natural light flowing through the windows in the doors now!!! Great upgrade Derek!!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
I love watching you and Bentley working together. He is still just a learning and working machine. Thanks for bringing me along Derek.
As a city girl all my life, I find it very interesting to see how and what farmers use in their daily lives. Thanks for sharing.❤❤
Great fathers day sweet video your son's will never forget you are an amazing father
I Just love it when you and Bentley get out and do things together. Derek he is such a chip off the old big block following in your footsteps. Awesome as always
Excellent video, you mentioned working on a similar machine with your grandfather, well,30 or 40 years from now Bentley will be remembering and telling someone about rebuilding a Hay machine with his dad.
I’m thoroughly enjoying the vintage farm equipment repair/restoration. Reminds me of growing up on a tree nursery with all the old equipment we had. I hope you guys continue to do that on this channel.
Happiest Father's Day Derek. Spending quality time with your little human priceless.
This addition will be very helpful getting the hay raked up once all the maintenance is finished. Bentley is Derek's right hand guy helping his Dad with most anything around the house! Good video as always!
It does my heart good to see Little Grip out there learning with dad. Reminds me of my father and I when i was a boy. Great stuff Derek!
Happy Father’s Day Feller! Glad that you’re making the old rig look better also. I always tried to teach kids that if you’re ride looks good you will feel better about yourself.
The short person you're responsible for sure does get into it. That work ethic is what will make him a true star when he's out there on his own. Happy Fathers' Day.
Not that we don't appreciate your videos but anytime you can add your family makes it that much better good job guys
Happy Father's Day!!! My dad has been gone near 30 Years now. I really miss him on Father's Day. However, watching you and Bentley working together brought back some fond memories of dad and I doing the same things. I think the piece of equipment I miss the most was the old John Deere "B". I think it was a '38 or '39 model. It was pre-electric start anyway. Your doing a great job with your boys! One day, like me, they'll look back on this time with love in their hearts. 👍
you can really see things blowing around outside through the garage doors. Hopefully no damage.
I miss my dad.....lost him too soon. Was always learning somethin new and I regret not paying more attention to learn more. Good job raising your boys....you done good.
I love these equipment repair and use videos! I can relate to these. Keep them comin.
Reality TV at its finest! I love all of your vids and Bentlys too. You guys are freakin awesome. Happy Fathers Day Derek!
Love all your videos but the ones with your son are priceless love to watch you showing your son different things and how to fix stuff
Derek, that youngster of yours is such a hard worker, it's unusual to see a youngster with his work ethic, you must be one proud father, he definitely wants to be a just like his dad, this was a great father's day video, keep up the great work guys. 🇬🇧
Man I wish I grew up in a garage like that and a teacher like Derek! Happy belated father's day.
43 no kids or wives..this makes me happy...love your family vibe Dereck 🙏
My father taught me every useful thing I know today, too. My dad could fix anything. Great video.
Happy father’s day to you, always fun and awesome to pass down what we know, welding, difference of rivets, and bolt in sections.
Happy Father's Day
Really Appreciate watching Bentley working with you
(Hands on) the way I started out with my career in the mechanics
Thanx for sharing your Great work
Have a Great Day 👍
Always touches a feller's heart to see you and Bentley work together. This is what we need more of in this world. Happy Fathers Day!!!!
