    Your tractors are a testament to old technology, I watch other farming channels and if their new fancy tractors sit all winter or sometimes just a month they won't start or the computer won't let it move. I've always said I'll take old over new any day. Have a good day Pete.

      Speaking of old over new, does anyone here love to use paper and pens or pencils? I do ;-}}. Should I have whispered that? Thanks so much, Pete.

      That’s kind of strange thing to say when you think about it. The “old technology” he’s using was state of the art at one time. It’s hard to compare old and new like that because his old machines are very well maintained. A broken hydraulic hose could have you down just like a computer. And at one time, hydraulics were “new technology.” You would’ve had guys saying they’d never run those new fancy hydraulics because a chain drive or a long lever to lift an implement was so much more reliable and you didn’t need any fancy tools to work on them. Some guys were resistant to running combustion engines because steam was the way to go. Or forget all of that gadgetry because horses are more reliable. I’ve ran fairly new equipment on a farm and fairly newer “fancier” equipment at work now. I like both. I’ve had or have many antique tractors and really appreciate them. It’s really hard to beat air conditioning, g.p.s. Plotting, and auto steer if you’re going to sitting in a tractor or combine for 12-14 hours though. I think people would be better served to growing intellectually with new equipment instead of shying away from it. There’s no difference in mindset of thinking about buying a decent welder, torch set, hand tools, etc. and wanting to be proficient with those tools to maintain and repair equipment or buying a laptop and wanting to be proficient with it. Don’t get me started on companies making their software proprietary, that’s b.s. but tools are tools. The guy with the horses and mules probably didn’t want to learn how to wrench but he did and was better for it.

    Pete - Brings back a lot of memories of running a manure spreader just like that one only pulling it with a Farmall H. Sure wish we had a front end loader to load with. We had to fork every load out of a bank barn and into the spreader! That kind of work is what made men in those days. Thanks!

I think you cows just wanted to hang out with you today. It's obvious their well taken care of. Can't get much better than a day like this one. Your living the good life, a lot of work but sooooo rewarding !

    Real tractor pride is washing it before spreading manure with it. She is a beaut.

    The new idea manure spreader is like going back to square bales after you’ve gotten used to round bales…fun for about 2 hours until you remember how much longer it takes 😂

    Had a crappy morning at work, but somehow watching Pete spread manure made me feel much better.
