Hi everyone, I will be at the Half Century of Progress show in Rantoul, Illinois on August 24, 25, and 26. We do not have a booth, but I plan on having some meetups there for a few hours each day. I won't know where to have the meetups until I get there and find a good place for them, so I will post times and locations after I get there. Sunday's video will have more information.
Hi Pete me and my brother are planning on being there on Saturday will definitely look for ya
If you have not been I think you will like seeing all the old equipment working.
Looking forward to your videos from Rantoul...
BTW there is a great show in Alexander NY the weekend after Labor Day Thursday thru Sunday on Gillette Road just off Route 20... I may to try to get a video or 2 from that one..
I love your videos, that's the first thing I look for when I go online,,be well ,
Those tractors fed the world and still can.
Gotta love a guy who enjoys fiddle faddle and Gillian’s Island.
I love em both too!!
Perfect timing, just sat down with my coffee!
Ditto! :-)
Same!
Morning hours, coffee, Pete, and some Red Tractors singing away.......thats a morning right there bud!
I‘m moving grass in germany with my 6220 John Deere, here it is 5:36pm now
Hey challenger, keep pushing and living the dream. I seriously wished I worked the Earth instead of a computer.
It was kind of you Pete to pull the tall blades of grass away at 11:17 to give us a clear view! 😂😂😂
Pete,
What do you think the greatest invention of all time would be??
Me? The dry erase white board.... it's just absolutly remarkable !
Warning!!! Dad joke!! 😂😂👍👍
Something so artistic about the F20 rear wheels - especially while in motion!
Mr Pete you are a unique blogger! I have been watching you for a couple of years now, and I never cease to be amazed at your activity. I live on the other side of the earth and I don't know English at all. But I'm waiting for a new video, I turn on subtitles and translate into Russian. I also blog about horses. but you are the coolest! Continue in the same spirit
Been around Farmall tractors most most my 57 years, sure love seeing the beautiful tractors putting in work .. your restorations are impressive..thanks Pete
Did you also have a farm before?
Pete, you feel like a long time coffee buddy at a small town cafe. I always enjoy sharing my cup with you. God bless!
Does everyone see how the old tractor loves to work, still going strong proving it's worth. What a performance with Pete in the seat! 😉
Seeing how he operates and maintains his old farm machines really impressed me.
HA Yove just made a Meme PETE IN THE SEAT Well done
It's nice to be familiar enough with your tractor to understand what it needs to start and run. It's almost as if it talks to you when you pay attention to what it tells you.
As long as you maintain them they'll keep going. It does help that he completely rebuilds them 😂
That 856 was a great new addition for making bales this year compared to last year Pete! Bet you're really thrilled with it after today!
Morning!
Great story telling and excellent camera work. Red tractors are most photogenic against the fervent fields of the Northeast. 👍
I think so too, his tractor really stands out in the meadow.
I'm perpetually amazed that you remember all the fiddly requirements that each tractor needs to start and operate. I would have to have a laminated cheat sheet attached to each tractor. :)
Me too..lol
Me too, too. But Atule Gawande wrote a book called The Checklist and doctors and pilots and lots of other smart people all over the world use the ideas therein. Checklists are a very good idea all the time.@@tonyjones629
You get used to it, especially those older engines. Once you get into the grind of regular maintenance you get very intimate with your equipment. I can still identify every component of my 800cc suzuki, I could feel it when the distributor was off and needed adjusting/cleaning. How much choke it liked and how easy it was to kill it if the engine wasn't properly warmed up yet. It basically needed attention twice a year to keep running in optimal condition.
Anyway, I sold that car over 15 years ago, but driving hasn't been as much fun as with that car.
Very cool video pete brings back such great memories as a young boy thanks !!
Always haves loved your content and humour
Just watched you starting your restored Farmall F20 with the crank handle .....watch your thumb please .
My father had the same tractor to hoe pyetheum in Kenya still ran when we all left in 1966.
Love the drone shots !!! pulls the whole picture of the farm together
You look pretty cool out there, Pete. Great drone shots in this one too.
Yeah, I was wondering if you'd be able to put them in the barn. Don't need any steamers in with you dry stock.
Pete, please do a restoration on the grass rake I would love to see a fully restored/painted rake to go with the great looking tractors you own.
lot of work But your animals are going to love you... Who's flying the drone ? great aerial - view of the landscape.... Thank you Pete for bringing us along ...
Pete - I enjoy seeing all the tractors and I appreciate how you explain the haying process for this set of conditions!!
It's singing like an angel. Gr8t Thinks!! I love old Farmall-tractors.
She purrs like a content mother cat. Beautiful tractor. Felt like I was there.
Nice to see the F20 out , my favorite tractor
I'm impressed at how well the F-20 steers. The 504 looked like a Cub beside those bales. They are huge. Enjoy the farm show Mr. Pete!
What a treat to see that ol' F20 get put to work. I really do love the old stuff. Their simplicity, and the key was to learn to tune it by ear. They'll sing to you when it's JUST right. That 856 was a good snag on your part. Have a fine weekend, Pete.
Pete glad to see the big old F20 at work. Just proving that you don't need brand spanking new Case ih or what ever to do your work. And so what if the F20 takes a few minutes to start. Compared to the 856, but the F20 needed something to do before it probably went crazy listening to all the other tractors gossip.
Love watching you maneuver those tractor's around. Like a dance. Smooth.
The F20 holds its own in the field! Always good to finish a field before the storm arrives.
Pete, My Grandpa always wore overalls & tee shirts most days...he always carried a pocket knife, handkerchief, lighter and a cigar in the top front pocket...he always had a pair of needle nose pliers in back left pocket with a narrow flat head screw driver...those tools tore apart the tractor cushions regardless...he and my Uncle Bob took the seat off and replaced it with a lockable swivel seat...that was their winter garage

I spent many a day driving the red Farmall raking hay in central Kentucky in the 1980s. It wasn't quite as old as that one but it wasn't new either. We used a square baler and had to load the bales onto wagons and put it up in the barns. Being a bit allergic to hay it was long sleeve shirt time and in that Kentucky humidity it was HOT. We usually had 60 to 80 head of cattle and would cull the herd in the Fall so we didn't have so many to feed over the Winter. We also grew 3 to 5 acres of tobacco every year depending on our government allotment. Tobacco is an extremely labor intensive crop to grow so thank God for the teenage boys in the area who wanted to earn some money to treat their girlfriends. We also raised chickens and grew feed corn. I lived and worked on the farm for 5 years and it was very hard work but I wouldn't give up the memories for all the money in the world. Thanks again Pete!
I love seeing your older tractors putting in some work.
Always great content Pete very relaxing 👍
You’re F-20 starts and sounds like my 1939 F-20. Looks like yours has the faster transmission (10 mph) like mine also. I love to see that old iron work! Thanks for that. 👍😎
A lot of TH-cam videos I listen to at X1.5 or X2 speed. Pete's videos are always at real speed so I can listen to the tractors ❤
Love watching you love life and enjoy all that you do
Can't figure it out, but I like watching videos that involve making hay. I guess it's the equipment humming along.
I think the F20 enjoyed her time working in the sun, she is a beautiful tractor! It must be a special reward to put her to work !
One thing's for sure, that 856 will never be overworked.
Thanks for all the videos and work on the farm that you share with us. have a great day.
Love these tractors, especially the F20! Used to drive one when I was a kid.
I love the fact that you restored these vintage tractors and are able to use them at will to operate your farm with them. A-OK. Great job.
A cup of coffee and my new favorite shirt “Howdy Piggers” gives me that warm fuzzy feeling to enjoy with a new video!
It’s gonna be a great day!
I love the sound of the tractors, it is probably such a weird thing to say. When I was a kid, our landlord had an old tractor that was in pristine condition, and he even had a special garage for it. When you run your tractors, Pete, it makes me think of getting that beautiful tractor out, watching it get started up and taking it out to mow, riding on the back bumper ( well, what ever it was that we stood on back there, that I could hold onto the bottom of the seat) and just hanging with my dad while he did the work or even our landlord, who was more of a Grandpa type figure in my life. He had one arm, so his steering wheel had a rotating ball attached to it, and I used to love watching him use his hook and that ball to drive, it was fascinating. Such good memories out in the country. Such a soothing video this morning while I get my work day started. ❤❤❤
Hello Pete and Hillary nice work. Have a great day.
Some impressive precision driving skills there, Pete. Great video! Thanks.
I think my grandpa, who was a dairy and crop farmer, was one of the smartest men I ever knew. He could fix anything in his machine shop. He always repaired his own tractors and harvesters himself. I didn’t appreciate it as much as I should have while he ran his farm.
You remind me of him, Pete.
Watching all the activities surrounding making hay calms my world. Thank you for having me along . Travel safe to & back ftom Illinois. Safe always.
Great video. I’ve been loving the tractor videos lately. Also can’t wait to see how Billy’s work has paid off. Stay dry out there Pete.
Gotta ask, Pete. Who "drives" the drone when you're driving the tractor?
Love watching the old Farmall’s work!
Pitt Panthers 💥BOOM 💥
Once again,those drone shots are great! A nice perspective of the baling,overview of the farm and surrounding countryside. This is another enjoyable Just a Few Acres production! Thanks, Pete!
Great video Pete. Great to see all the old iron doing what they were built to do.
I love that tractor, the old shiny red one. Amazing seeing this beautiful machine start as it did, just phenomenal indeed! 😯 😁 🚜
Very satisfying video. Loved watching the ole farmall working.
I enjoy watching the F20 pitch in and do work around the farm!
That 856 sounds nice!!. Definitely a purchase that was well worth it!!
Then maybe one day a decent 1256 and 1456 to complete the 56 series set...
All the times I've cranked a F20, H, and plural M I've never kept count.
Dad's H with magneto was fairly consistent at 2 pulls full choke cold, and no choke hot.
Thank you Pete.
I will say that you’re explaining about to go equipment is so clear that even school children can understand.
I'm always glad to see an F-20 fire up and cruise along. Keeper going sir.
Amazing seeing machinery operate like this, just incredible. Think about the human minds that design and build such machine's, brilliant ones for sure! 🧑🎓
Hmm..., which tractor Pete ask us that he should use today. I think Pete is playing us to get his way, he stands by the shinny red one knowing we all love everything red, especially if it's shiny. I say the shiny red one, now that Pete has dangled his 🍬 candy in front of us! 🤗 🚜
Hay pete nice to see you working with one of your oldest tractor's she looks grate sounds pretty smooth nice to see Hillary in your video you both are awesome people you both are my favorite home team blessings pete and keep uploading the awesome videos that you film can't get enough of them thank you for sharing pete blessings
Amazing cinematography. It really brings your farming experience to life. Great job!
So many intricate moving parts to a hay baler. It’s a miracle they work as well as they do.
Pete your personality makes my day......Getting me pumped up to mow my yard with my brand new mower
Pete, I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. I’m a small farmer from WV. Thanks
💖 your tractors and accessories working in your field. Here in Oregon they are putting the bales of all sizes and shapes into the barns. The extra step here is having the grass seed harvested first since this is called the grass seed capital of the world. I would call it the dust making capital of the world. Can finally breath after weeks of dust being kicked up all around us for miles! Have learned a lot about farming machines since moving here. So fascinating. Now I watch your work with even more interest. Thanks for sharing your machines and all you share on how they work. ❇❇❇
What did it all work out too, priceless, you got to use all your equipment, and had a ball doing so. Quality of life is very important.
I've often wondered, does it feel odd to sit behind the rear wheels compared to a 'modern" tractor?? We always used to say, the bailing is not done until it's in the barn !! (then it can rain all it likes!) I absolutely know why they were not put in the barn though, damp can mean the end of a building!
I am loving those overhead shots with the Drone. I would like to hear more about the drone and how it works.
The 856 is a fantastic every farm task tractor, baking, planting, plowing, swathing.... beautiful tractors!!!!
Pete, great to see the F20 at work doing what it was intended to do. These are venerable pieces of our farm history.
That old F20 engine sounds so smooth!!!😎👍👍👍
Awesome work Pete…love watching you make the bails!
It’s awesome seeing all the old Farmall tractors work. I love that you restored them and that you still use them. Just like they were meant to be. I have a lot of respect of farmers who take care of their equipment.
Really enjoyed watching you using your tractors for different setups. Pete you do have a nice collection of working tractors. Continue the good work, until next time...
I enjoy watching the old tractors work
I use two different tractors on my property. I'm not a farmer. My tractors are a 1986 Ford and a 2006 John Deere. I get on one tractor and change gears as if I was on the other one. Takes a few mimutes to settle in to the correct shifting. I can't imagine working with five tractors. A person has to be really careful around all that that rotating machinery. Have a great day and Happy Farming.
This machine makes people's life more wonderful
Very lovely! A tidy farm is a happy farm!
Now I get it: Vintage Tractors in a Vintage Tractor Barn. Nice!
Pete, hope you restore that 856. It would be a stunning example of International history. Another good vid, thanks.
Thanks for all your efforts for our enjoyment. I really appreciate it!
Wow, Pete, lots done this week. Great job. Hope you have a great weekend coming up.
Good to see the old Tractor earning its keep.
It was really awesome seeing the 856 working out in the field what a great looking tractor🇺🇸🇺🇸
Of course I enjoyed this video, I always do. That was impressive the way you backed the baler into it's spot. Well done.
Great Job Pete, on using ur Farmall F20 for raking, work-out good. Ur Farmall 856 was also good on the Baling.
Love making hay. Have to smile when I see you working up your "hill" area, and then remember what we hayed in NE Delaware County... with M's for the bailer and little Fords for the cycle bar and wagons. I think we were a little crazy but we mostly survived...have a great day and thanks for the memories.
Should be NW Delaware County, East Meredith home of Hanford Mill, a great old engine museum.
Relieved to see those bales didn't make it to the barn....
Really like the drone views. Thanks for sharing.
Just got home from work. Perfect Friday video. Thanks Pete!
Seeing shiny tractors at museums or shows doesn't keep my interest for long. I don't get tired of watching them at work. They were amazing feats of engineering back in the day and they still are today. Very analog, very mechanical. A thing of beauty. Thank you!
Man, I can watch this for hours! Thanks Pete for the new video!
Pete, I fully understand that you make shows about your farm and as I've said about you previously you farm your farm, you don't spend your time farming a TH-cam channel, unlike some.
You expressed a thought a while back about not wanting to just repeat filming the same activities. A few years ago on Sundays you did some shows about the business or economics of small farming. I think you would be an excellent person to make some films on farming business history. I saw recently a piece on making Sheperd's pie in America and it mentioned a shortage of lamb or mutton. I also saw a piece on stockyards in the 1960s where there was plenty of sheep. I cleaned up in a butchers in my last year of school. I thought we got lamb's liver from America. Willson's brand? That and the concentration, or vertical integration of meat farming would be interesting. You mentioned a wait at times to get meat processed. I realise you are careful about expressing viewpoints on contempary issues but I think you could make some great films.
All the best to you, Hillary and family.
😀😂🤣
Enjoyed this video very much. Loved the crank style tractor. She loves to work. Purred the whole time raking. I just love the old tractors 🚜.
Really like your 856!!!!!my field tractor when I was young was a 826 love it!!!!thanks Pete!!!
Feeling your stress with hay down and rain on the way. I grew up helping on the family farm using all that same equipment and I remember the sense of urgency. We always hustled but still needed sun to ensure quality hay. You handle the pressure well.
It’s a beautiful thing that farming business your a fortunate man Mr. Pete.
