This is amazing! You guys are seriously making me relive my childhood! I will say with the size of the field you have and the Farmall H, try to find cultivating shoes and fertilizer hoppers. You’ll cut down on weeds and the nitrogen mix (19, 19,19) will produce a better yield. Lastly look for a corn binder rather than a combine for harvest. You will save yourself a lot of time and work rather than dealing with a combine. The Amish community usually have them and you will be able to pull it with the H. If you need help with anything or have any questions please reach out. Our farm still uses a lot of this equipment and I grew up with it. Thank you again for the series!

What do you do with the bundles of corn coming out of a corn binder? If I was wanting to store that as dry ear corn or shell corn for future grinding as cattle feed, is there any option for doing so other than with a lot of hand labor?

Yeah base on the size of yield and limited storage, binding would be my suggestion. Not to mention trying to get a modern combine to function is very difficult and one that needs work would be a good winter project. But with a binder the storage is easier and you may be able to sell as is to someone as opposed to wasting a yield trying to find and operate a combine. Just thinking ahead!
This has definitely become my favorite series on KZread. I really hope y’all do a season 2 with it.

Except it has gotten to the point of embarrassment... Kevin should be fully prepared by now for just about any condition or event that crops up for the average "will it run?". While he may be simply showing a way to get something done by making due w/what he can scrounge up, it got old many miles ago. He has a truck and he brings along some useful items but not all that he easily could... and should. No points file in the tool kit? Cringeworthy. No spare fuel line? Cringeworthy. No funnels? CRINGEWORTHY! Good grief, he can't even keep batteries charged up. I could go on but I think I've made my point. He's either playing the fool on purpose or he's actually a fool. With whichever it is... it was stale long ago. Get it together Kevin, get it together! Go in prepared lad!! - Max Giganteum

Gotta admit, I cheered a few times watching you till and plant the corn. To see old stuff being revived....would sure help the current generation know what true work is.
Best series (so far) 1. Satellite revival with Luke 2. Cutlass revival 3. Tractor content! Keep it comin
This series has been really fun. It's still got some of the classic revival content, but with stuff that's a lot more unique than cars. It's cool to see all this old equipment get dug out and put back to use. And it's also making me want to move out to the country. Just wrench on stuff all day and listen to the wind and the birds.

The equivalent would be buying the cheapest, skinniest, and wildest cows that come through the auction; and trying to get them fattened up, tamed down, pregnant, calved out, and milking. Expect a pretty poor success rate, though. Milking machines are pretty simple -- the vacuum pump and the pulsator are the only mechanical parts to them. Most abandoned vane-type pumps just need a little lubrication and they're running fine, and a simple Surge pulsator will only need cleaning and lubrication as well. New milk hoses and milker inflations, and you can milk a cow.

You guys are so awesome to watch. I'm loving the farming series👍. It is nice to see old equipment get a second chance at life.
I really am enjoying watching this farming series with all of its challenges. This is such a great creative, entertaining,informative, and fun channel to watch!
I think this is my favorite revival you have done!! There is something just so satisfying about watching an old rusty piece of junk run again!!
Just got caught up on this series over the weekend and already a new episode! Awesome! Edit: Dr Squatch is legit! One of my favorite products!
I like to use a mapp gas torch to clean spark plugs. You hold them with a pair of vice grips and heat the electrode and insulator until they're bright red. Let them cool down put them back in and they're good as new. Also on a stuck engine I like to take the plugs out and spray a liberal amount of PB Blaster in the cylinder before I start to work it back and forth. Makes things go much quicker!

Giving the viewer what they want.... As a former 47 year old city boy, I'm absolutely lovin this series. Living vicariously through Junkyard Digs.
I've got to say I'm loving your farming with abandoned equipment series. For a few reasons: 1) I know nothing about farming and am learning. 2) Its different and interesting. 3) I love the fact that you are taking something that some would considered garbage and giving it a new life and a new purpose. I love doing the same thing. Also my wife(an architect) and I love your house (the little we've seen of it). We are a big fan of old farm houses, and yours has so much character. Keep up the good work Kevin!

Hi there Kevin and Mook. I totally enjoy your channels. I'm 67 yo. Yet, I have learned so much valuable information from you guys. Especially the carburetor tuning tutorial. I will apply this knowledge to my late cousins 64 Chevy Impala custom. Thank you for being here, making these informative and funny videos. And, thank you for your military service to our nation. Peace! 👍
I am just admiring how you are finding things around you and using them for what you need, and it works. Keep up the good work and I am praying that you will get this working .
I can't imagine this being easy to do since I've never saw a sprayer revived that are crusty lol
hell yes, I was just thinking I hope they do more with this series. My old man and I got a kick out of watching the old h stall out when the cultivator dug in.
One thing I like about watching this channel is seeing how well you brothers play together. As for your parents, there lovely people and did a wonderful job raising you two. As for mook, kevin you're a lucky man for finding her. Angus and your friends what a top bunch of mates.
Can’t get enough of this series! I love how you make do with what you have to get that old iron running! Definitely shows how bulletproof things were made in the good ol days.
I can’t believe how entertaining watching some guys farming is, keep up the great work 👌.
I absolutely love this series...and that sprayer is super janky, which means it's perfect for your little farm...
This was an awesome video I am 67 years old approaching 68 and and d*** good video. Love you Messing with old machinery and of course getting it goin.
That Segway into the sponsor was fucking mint. I honestly was not expecting that. I was expecting a car detailing advert!!!
Like the latest episodes. Good to see old iron saved and put to work .
I see overalls and I hit the like button I'm a simple Midwestern
Honestly, I’m enjoying this content more than the normal car stuff. I don’t think there’s anyone else on KZread doing something like this.
I've been with you on every video about farming. I have actually learned how corn is planted. The will it start and run on the equipment is so cool. Keep up the good work guys.
ahh yes corn
Loving the farming content Kevin, keep it up
I'm truly impressed, this series has really shown off how good you are. Working with literally no tools and scrounging to make things work. Reminds me of times spent on my grandparents farm and my dad and uncles doing the same things
Thank you for uploading so I can watch! this is brilliant entertainment and nothing beats seeing old rusty stuff coming back to life :D
Absolutely loving this farming stuff 👍🏻😁
Hey 👋 Kevin & Mook love the farming episodes
This one was a pretty incredible revival. Sat 21 years in a shed that got knocked down by a tornado. Engine seized, points dead, fuel pump dead, starter stuck on. Choke seized, one tire blown out, hydraulic lines blown, stuck behind a foundation wall and yet you made it run and drove it out of there. Unique engine to boot. Loving this series man.
Love watching you guys get the old farm equipment running and using it!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
I’m absolutely loving this farm series so far. Ever since I was a kid I dreamed of having a small field and farming using old equipment so seeing you do it is fascinating.
Thank you Kevin, Jesse, and Mook, I am really enjoying your farm content! Thanks for the variety!
I have to tell you guys, this Farming deal is my favorite series to watch on the internet right now. I watch a lot of will-it-runs and a ton of farming, you guys are doing it all in one shot and I'm here for it
Hey Kevin! Let me say thank you for giving us these amazing videos and such creative content to enjoy, I’ve been watching your videos almost every evening now and it’s been a blast! You’re doing awesome and keep up the videos, because I need them! Love from a Dutch viewer with farming roots! ❤️
Hi sweeties! MamaCard is so excited for you & proud of your accomplishments!
Kevin you and Mook are doing a great job and this let people know how hard it was back in the 60’s and early 70’s to farm grain crops. Keep up the great work.
Great stuff. I'm really enjoying the Junkyard Farms series here and hope it continues. It's amazing what you can do with some free old equipment, some time and some knowledge of how things work.
Thanks for taking an aside route from your usual revival content to bring us this. Those episodes are very enjoyable, no question mate. This aside is a welcome addition to your channel. Thank you. I follow a number of automotive american revival channels (on a budget, not interested in the million dollar looky me and you cannot have this channels) it feels a bit like VCC s lodge channel. Not a copy or the same but similar feel. Love you, mook, family and friends going about. Will keep on following. The personal connection story: For 5 years this Dutch european city boy worked on a mixed farm earning a living while studying at university in Switserland. Livestock (cows, geese, hares, goats, sheep) and production of feed and produce on a 4th generation owned family farm in Schaffhausen canton. seeing you muck about takes me back to 1999-2004. Just for a bit. Thanks kindly. With regards from the Netherlands.
Thanks & good job guys sketchy? Yes, mission accomplished? Yes. Welcome to farming on the cheap most are. We are interested to watch you learning. I've been a ranch mechanic for 58 years. Central California watching
junkyard MOOK rocks!!!! Love all the old farm equipment. Brings back fond memories of my old farm days with my dad.
You two are wonders and entertaining as all get out. Thanks for the chuckles.

I'm loving this series about farming with abandoned equipment. It shows there's a use for everything awesome job so far guys and gal's ❤
I can't even say how much I am enjoying these.... just plain awesome
This is awesome. I like farm stuff and fixing old stuff, this is the best of both worlds.
Mans puts a whole new meaning to farming simulator, the real details of farming, AMAZING!
good work man! im really enjoying your farm equipment series! when you mentioned the seized engines, i remember i was one of the people that asked you a bout how to unseize them last year. you seem to know all the good tricks left behind by the last generation and i love it. its stuff people like me just wouldnt think of, and im not even that young! but you being a library of forgotten techniques is very good to see.
I did my very first ever revival yesterday on an audi and all I thought about while doing it is your videos, thank you for teaching me more about cars than my trade school teachers
Excellent work!! Such a great series to watch (also loved the shot of the new sprouts on IG, very cool!)
Love JYD. One of my favorite channels. You are a natural teacher.
BEST SERIES ON KZread!!! I keep checking for the next upload knowing it takes time for this to happen but I absolutely love this series......Thank you JYD!!! Keep it coming!!!
No matter what it is....if you’re trying to fix it, I’m watching!!! Honestly, I wasn’t too sure about this one. But you restored my faith! Looking forward to the next video on this sprayer. Thanks! J.W.
I learned 90% of what i know about mechanical stuff in this channel and i cant wait to learn more about farming, this channel made me discover my passion for mechanics and soon after i started to like farming, so seeing that you also got into farming is pretty cool because now i can learn more about it in the same way i learned about mechanics in the beginning
Loving the series, please take us all the way through to harvest.
Kevin and Jess, I have to tell you that I am very pleased to see you 'making do' with what you can find". So few of your generation can do that, it's nice to know the art is not lost.
One of the coolest series on YT right now
You and your brother have an historic memory that will last forever. Love your content always!
Awesome! Some of the equipment reminds me of equipment my dad farmed with when I was a kid. Loving this video series!
I live just outside a big city in the U.K., yet now I find myself fascinated with American farm machinery!!! Love this videos 😊
** LOVE ** this series. Pure GENIUS to do this!
Love this series too cool!! Getting abandoned equipment back going and using it totally awesome 👍👍
I am convinced there is nothing you can't get running! I'm so impressed! Can't wait to see if it actually sprays your crop. This is a great series!
Love this series cool to see someone farming on the cheap with stuff they find around town
Awesome job guys. Can’t wait to see the progress of your “junkyard” Farm implements collection.
Loving the new Barnyard Digs series. Best stuff ever. Can't wait to see you get a combine running.
I am LOVING these can we farm with abandoned equipment videos. Great freaking idea 💡 ✊️ keep em coming
i came for car videos and fell in love with rusty old farm equipment. Love what you're Doing dude KEEP IT UP!
Shingle, old towels, random tools, I love it! Look for grip tape on old running boards or equipment steps too! The machines you're finding wouldn't have it, but maybe something close by? I also recommend snagging any old specialty tools if they are willing to part with them, like a chain breaker lol. You may very well need one if you keep this series going. Most equipment had an on board tool box to keep that one wrench, pliers, screw driver, hammer and even adjustment levers/crank handles that didn't stay on all the time (or it could have just been our crappy equipment lol). Things were literally 'fix on the fly'. I think the old timers would be damned proud of your ingenuity and resourcefulness. Keep up the good work!
This is so cool! Can’t wait for the next video! Fixing old field tractors is always something I wanted to do.
You have really upped your game with this series. No one else has done this and it appeals to a lot of farm boys like me out there. Good luck with the farm and I will be watching!
Great content! Love the revival of farm equipment. Also you're RV stuff is great!!!
Great video Kevin and Jess L9ve the Farm videos awesome to see it running and moving under its own power with a little help @Junkyard Digs
