- A guy picked up a estate sale hay bine through a local dealership. It's unknown if it actually works, and is in very rough shape. Let's go through it and see if we can fix it ahead of hay season!

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.
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Roger over Unger,we have clearance Clarence!
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.
Well said
He does right, dont he.
well I'll be dipped a guy and a little fella with a bonus video on father's day. Happy Father's Day Derek and all you VGG dads out there!!!
Ok….. odd that you talk like a TH-cam guy. It’s cool to be a fan without wanting to be him 🤷🏼♂️
@@travisfletcher3511 relax man I bet you are a blast at parties....go home karen
@@travisfletcher3511 Relax man. Hey everyone Travis Fletcher is here...fun detected party's over. Calm down Karen

The Tonya harding 200 now that's a knee knocker 27:00
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.
I've never farmed, and most likely never will. But a guy really, really enjoys these videos. Happy Fathers Day everyone.
Same tp you dude
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.
Man… I miss my dad. How blessed I am though to watch stuff like this and have a familiar feeling of spending time with my dad.
😉😉😉😉😉😉
I feel what you're sayin! All to well
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.
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.
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.
Vice grip needs to up his game. Little grip is kicking his butt in the mullet department. Its freaking awesome!
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Happy father's day Derek! Nice addition to the farm. Hope to see you round baling soon.
Thanks 👍
I hope you get some cows.
😁😁😁😁
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.
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.
No idea what a hay bine is or does but I'll watch to learn. More entertaining than a Rockies game.
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.
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.
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 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.
😉😉😉😉😉😉
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 used the tool that punched out the rivets too. No nuts and bolts.
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.
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 “.
What a great gift to have your son working with you on farm equipment on Father’s Day. You are truly blessed Derek.
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
Nothing better than taking an old piece of equipment and bringing it back to life. Bentley is gaining some valuable experience. Good job Derek.
Happy Fathers day to all Fathers out there. Thank you for the gift VGG, Little Grip, and VG Lodge
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
Great job helping your dad young man
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.
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.
your tribute to the old rigs was stellar! Thiis fellet loves this channel and the family behind its journey!
Happy Father's Day, Derek! It's good to see another Vice Grip/ Little Grip collaboration!
👌👌👌👌👌👌
The Tanya Harding 200 lmao. Thanks, I needed that ol vicey grip. I grew up on farms 🚜 grabbing utters and wrangling piggly wigglies. There is no place better on earth to teach your kids about real life.
Right on Time!!!!
I wanted to send you a few photos of some locals using their older (40-60s) equpiments. Every time I drive by it, the first thought I have is "Boy, Derick and kiddos would really appreciate these...... old..... tools of the day...... farming..." Yep. That's exactly how it prints out of my brain.
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!
😁😁😁😁😁😁
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
✌✌✌✌✌✌✌✌
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.
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.
Shoup has everything possible for that hay conditioner. Yes sir its spelled correctly. Keep going you two bringing back lots of memories.
😉😉😉😉😉😉
I buy a lot of farm equipment parts from Shoup. They usually have everything you need They are a good company to deal with.
Very wholesome project! Happy Father's Day Derek & Family!
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.
Hey Derek love the farm videos!
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.
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...
It's not too late, Derek did it, you can too!
It's so great to see your son helping you and learning at the same time
Happy Father's day feller.
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.
Your son is gaining a lot of knowledge that's been passed to you keep him going and I didn't see a phone good deal
Happy Father’s Day Derek! My Dad passed about 4 years ago. This video brings back great memories of fixing things with my dad!
👌👌👌👌👌👌
Derek your son Bently is going to be one heck of a mechanic taking after you. Thanks to both of you for sharing. Happy Father’s Day . 🇺🇸
Agreed, with a wide scope of vehicle/machine types as well. Just awesome! 🇨🇦
Reality TV at its finest! I love all of your vids and Bentlys too. You guys are freakin awesome. Happy Fathers Day Derek!
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.
There's more of us 😊 🇨🇦
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.
Well second place..... On the comments... But I love This show... Happy father's day....
Every project I ever worked on with my Dad ended up in a fight. Refreshing to see the dynamic here with the young fellers.
Hi Derek, love your clips ❤
When you get done for the season pour you some used oil on the blade and run it back and forth a few times. Makes things easier next season.
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
❤❤❤❤❤❤
“Well do what grandpa did and file it down with a grinder” 😂
Love it. Love this family
Happy Father's day Derek!
Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anybody notice Derek sounds more & more like Hank Hill… “Hey, what ‘r you boys doin in my tool shed?” 😂
I had a 1209 for a few years.
Running a drum mower now and way better.
Less drama now.
Should get a self propelled swatter like a Versatile. There are sweet.
@ben68442 Tjose are ok if uou do the acres to justify them. But for hay a haybine is the wsy to go.
I like Bentley. He is always willing to help. He is very capable.
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
Come on people, just subscribe!
I had a good childhood but never had a dad. I had uncles willing to impart wisdom on certain occasions but seeing you guys reminds me it wasn't the same. So permit a 45 year old guy to pretend I'm there learning with you ❤
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.
I did this with my dad in the 90s , taught me a lot , even if I didn’t realise at the time .
Ok koiok op IMO hi I hi
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.
So much nicer with the natural light flowing through the windows in the doors now!!! Great upgrade Derek!!♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
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 so interesting that Bentley is by your side learning mostly everything you,re working on. He,s so young but being a great son Derrick. I follow his channel also. Great job.
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 😂
It’s wonderful to see Bentley working alongside you picking all the tricks of the trade up! 👏👏👏👏👏
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 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!
A fine young man ya have there in Bentley. Cool little dude and he sure is on top of things. This was a great Father’s Day video and congrats on being a fine Dad.
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 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
My dad was a lot like you. He loved to have his boys help him on projects and revivals. Miss you so much, daddy!
This "other stuff" channel of Derek, Jessica and the boys' is layin' down some rubber and gettin' traction...COOL! Keep 'er rollin' !! ;)
Did a lot of those repairs on the farm, we didn't have impact wrenches or good jacks. We had a house jack sometimes called a Bloomfield jack and a set of Craftsman tools my dad bought used in1957. Did most of the work outside. Later when I was in High School he bought a tombstone Lincoln welder and I taught him how to use it.
Derek one of my favourite engineering words- fabricobbled. The meaning of which if fixed quick and dirty but it works for now.
I know it was a thunderstorm rolling through, but the time lapse of you guys putting the blades on while the windows got dark and then light again made it look like little man pulled an all nighter!
I know absolutely NOTHING about hay bailing, tractor thingamagigs. I'm now an almost, maybe, partially, perhaps, noobie expert after watching this video. haha. You rock Derek. And Little Grip continues to learn amazing stuff for his future.
Watching this reminds me of myself growing up, I’m not many moons younger get than you Derek, my dad upgraded to the mo-co, best investment made! Get in contact with me, dad still has 1209 parts laying around that he wants out of his shop
Never seen the licence plate used to mask a rim before ! Nice trick. Can't wait to see the old equipment in action. 👌🏼
I absolutely love these farming videos, my Pawpaw had this exact haybine for most of my life and that thing ate some hay I tell ya, we planted some sorghum one year that was 7 foot tall and that mower just cut right through it no problem
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%!
Another fun video, love Bentley helping out, tks for sharing. Happy Father's Day, Derek.
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!
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, 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.
I think its gonna throw a few big chunks of the conditioner cleats... which is ok, I'm sure you'll figure out that you can wrap just about anything around that evenly and it'll mush the grass up. I ran one of these things for a summer "stealing" grass from ditches up in Illinois to use in composting in and among trees. Was fun, when it broke a part that had to be replaced we just let it sleep by the junk. The purpose of the contacting conditioning rollers is to crush stems which makes this one useful for almost all kinds of field grasses as well as early seed head grain crops... the newer conditioners are usually just a type of flail bar that will "fluff' the ejecta into curly bits instead of mauling the whole thing - the difference is with modern crop types, fertilizer and soil conditioners this unit here will just produce a long continous stream of grass about 2 inches thick instead of crimping/conditioning it. When you run it to check it out run it on trash grass first.
I just bought an old Dearborn sickle bar mower, so this is right up my alley right now.
Derek, do NOT stop making these videos EVER ❤❤❤
Not that we don't appreciate your videos but anytime you can add your family makes it that much better good job guys
My grandfather had a New Holland mower that probably a similar vintage. I used to enjoy helping him grease the machines to get them ready to make hay.
Derrick you never stop working on stuff! Like I am, always gotta be doing something. An I can tell you enjoy working
Getting the sickle out of those things were always a chore. We used the exact same model of hay mower. we used our Honda 125 3 wheeler to pull those out. Even though the sickle guards had pleanty of space, they would still bind up. Replaced many knives on those things when I was a kid.
The perfect video for Fathers Day ! Great to see Bentley sharing time with his Dad , and learning ! Memories for both of you . Thanks for sharing
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 !!!
