Thank you Grant for making me feel better about some of my "questionable" purchases!

I think we've all made questionable but seemingly wise choices at times. 😂😂😂😂

Surely even if the disc is junk, it's worth more than $200 in scrap value. So it's a win either way!

Every guy watching this relived some "special" purchase and the difficulty of explaining it to the spouse!!! Laura you just have to remember, Grant has good judgement---- he picked you!!!!!

The tractor you guys looked at in the shed, that Grant referenced as a 3010. My Grandpa, god rest his soul, completely restored an old tractor that is very similar to that one. My Grandma still has it in Kansas. It's not for sale or anything, but your video just reminded me of it and, well, memories of my grandpa.

That one is a 3020 gas power shift. You can tell by the shifter and the PTO lever is on the right hand side.

You can't beat a 4020. We had one throughout the 1960's. It did everything we asked it to do. It's good to see one being used in this day and time. Good for you. 👍🚜🇺🇲👆

First, farmers are the best. Second, all the skills and knowledge to run so many different pieces of equipment. City folk, they can run their automatic trans car and their mouth. That’s bout it. Finally, the trust that each farmer has for another farmer. That’s earned, not demanded, not expected.

Old used equipment is what farming has become. Tried and true that worked well for years and wont break the bank. Nice way to start the year.

What a brilliant idea. Doing a series for other people who are thinking of starting out. Giving them suggestions on how they can start without having to purchase expensive equipment. I love it.

Glad to see you reached 500k subscribers.

Cool old farm toys will generally come in handy on some smaller tasks and don’t break the bank

I am with Gage....John Deere!😊

The 4020 had issues when used with a front loader, you can pull the lugs thru the rim when turning with a load, the front axle was leak and subject to cracking, and the supply pump stopped pumping when the clutch was depressed causing loss of power steering, stopping the PTO, no brakes, yeah a design issue. The ultimate old tractor would be the 4230, it is the ultimate 4020, and the ultimate Front End Loader was made in Texas and Oklahoma, the model 784 Quik-On, you could even upgrade it to 3 1/2" cylinders , it had 5/16" lower frame, CT&D cylinders ( same MFG as the JD 158 ) 13' 6" lift height, and was designed to last 75 or more years, I liked that you can take it off and on with no stands, no tools in about one minutes....it also came in matching JD green with yellow/black shadow decals...I always hated the black or yellow loaders other companies produced.

When Grant mentioned that the first item was for the yard...... I started thinking Yard Art..😊😊😊

Awesome video Laura, couldn't help but chuckle at Grant's reaction to his $200 purchase and not you grilling him for it 😂

That’s a better disc than we farm with. Good buy.

Old steel like that is always cool to buy.

I knew the disk doing the "death wobble" would be the highlite!!

OMG the Beverly Hillbillies go farming. Love this!

Don't forget the breakaway cable for the breaks.

🎉Happy new year everyone🎉

A woman and her truck! It's a beautiful thing!

Laura you are one of the boys. It looks like all the guys felt comfortable with you. A Beautiful woman that is fun to be around ❤

You need a hydraulic Hose crimper for the farm anyways. Get bulk hose and the ends, and a chop saw to cut the steel reinforced hose, and some fresh tires for the implements. 13:01

I love Grant’s idea. I’m looking forward to the series

Thanks Laura. My dad loves watching your channel and told me to watch it. I have watched a few of your videos and I have seen you interact (like this video) with $100,000 dollar pieces of equipment, and some $500,000 pieces of farm equipment, and I see you driving 2022 Dodge Ram 2500 trucks and I also see that you are probably in your 20's, maybe 30, I don't know. This leads me to believe one of very few possibilities: 1) you inherited a great business from your father or grandfather or other relative. 2) You must have won the lottery at a young age. or 3) You sunk yourself into alot of debt. 4) Perhaps a combination of two or more of those realities. I can't find any mention, in any of your videos of you giving thanks to any other person for having 'established you', so I am left to believe that you won the lottery or something. It just seems like if someone inherited that much, that the recipient would not go around posting videos making it look like they themselves achieved that level of wealth. Or maybe I missed the video of you explaining all of it. To me it just looks like young people trying to get into farming, who parent's left them nothing but some suggested KZread videos to watch, are supposed to think that they can never achieve a level of success within their generation - or compare themselves to an heiress, who never really tells her watching fans that she is actually an heiress of a man that actually built the business. Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he put it on credit.

Your Titan trailer was made in my home town of Waterville Ks.

Had a good laugh when i saw that disc on the road.

Good to See YOU again, Hope you are coping, Best Wishes from the Pyrénées Orentale -South of France , Meilleures Veux 2024

I sure do love the life y’all live. Whether you realize it or not, y’all are great examples of how people should treat one another. Happy New Year. 👍😎✌️

I love farmers - that's how you do it

Laura ma'am you are a brilliant personality

I really appreciate the remote mic. Super audio improvement!!!

Looks like everybody has a little snow. We have a little here in New Mexico and my son in law has a little in Manitoba Canada, and you all have a bit too.

Nice addition of the remote microphones! Good sound recording.

Love the street tires on a 4wd. But you made it. That's what matters. I have similar adventures..

Happy little trailers wagging their tail in joy!

I follow a channel about a sheep farm in Scotland and I just realized something. The way you look at the camera is the same way his border collie looks at him! That’s a compliment! ❤

Ah, the joys of used machinery, and doing "field engineering" to get the job done. The latter is a skill lost on much of the younger generations--I'm glad to see that you are keeping such knowhow alive. Also, a good illustration of why 4WD pickups are so popular in farm and ranch country. I've owned 4WD pickups since 1971. They have become almost a necessity in rural America.

Thanks for all the great content

Hi-lift Jack would have been helpful with that disc harrow.

Almost always a standard item to take along on recovery missions for me.

This is for sure one of the best

Audio quality was amazing on this video! Excited to see the rest of the series!

True Family farmer .. appreciate

When I was a kid growing up on the farm in Nebraska, the 4020 was our "big tractor" the only one with a cab. I started driving on the 520. How times have changed. 😎

Epic farming and nice death wobble!

That John Deere 620 Tractor you showed us. The Tractor 🚜 that I learned to drive as a kid was a John Deere 720. I'm not sure if I like the microphones, they might be to close. ❤your channel

You guys are amazing. Oops, I misspelled amusing.

The New Year begins as the last one ended. Laura is ridiculously adorable, Grant is purchasing farm thingys, and the trucks need washing! Oh, and the sun came up in the east.❤❤❤

Wow im excited whats happning!! cool things and love the driving whit RAM😂

Can't wait to see you at the off road games

Grant's new part time job can be with the County helping with snow removal. Nice to see you back on the video's.

Fun session, thanks!

Title of this video ought to have read, "One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure!" 😆

Grant, 2 words: "Back" and "Hernia". Loving how safe you are with your machinery.

To keep the disc from swaying back-and-forth attach a come a long or tight chain from one side of the disc only to the hitch. The disk will no longer sway being pulled down the road as fast as you want.

You mean you're going to be buying more scap. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.

Happy new year to you all Laura

Thanks for all the great content. You’ve helped inspire me to put in 2 acres of pumpkins and popcorn on our reindeer farm. I’m new to crops, so I’m devouring as much info as I can. Super excited to see your small scale experiment.

out of curiousity, why pumpkins and popcorn. Are you in AK. I have 15 acres in WI that I am debating what to plant - thanks.

Happy 2024 to you all 👍❤️🥂

Happy New Year Laura ❤

Always a pleasure love your videos.

Great series for the new year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR LAURA

Loved the road trip!

Happy New Year!!

Love you, Laura💛

What a great idea!

This video brought back some memories for me. I worked for an old German farmer in south central Kansas when I was in middle school in the late 1970s. He was a very strong Christian man and his wife could cook some excellent lunches. He had a 3010 tricycle tractor which he used for cultivating his row crops, it was a little unstable so I didn't like operating it and then he had a 3020 with duals on the rear which was his tillage tractor. Back then farms and equipment were a lot smaller than they are today. He only had about 300-400 acres total farm ground and raised hogs but back then it was enough to feed a family quite comfortably...

Happy New Year,Love your Channel!!

Love the channel. Happy New Year!

A truly awesome video by an awesome farming couple!! You had a good 2023 lets hope 2024 is even better.

Happy New Year 2024!!!

It’s good to see you in the new year. Stay safe and have a good year.

I truly love you guys. Keep up the great content.

Happy New Year.

I recommend an International Hydro for a loader tractor. I'm an Allis Chalmers man but the IH hydro with a loader is an easy older tractor to use for projects that require a loader. Allis all the way for field work! D-17 for around the farm work and a D-19 or D-21 for field work! the plus side for buying older 1960's, 1970's and 1980's Farm tractors are a great choice because that is before tractors got really complicated. I have a 1967 AC D-15 and a 1948 AC G tractors and they run like a top. funny how something that is 57 years old and 76 years old can run better then some newer tractors. I don't recommend the AC G unless you have the specific attachments for it. It's a very cool design of a tractor but really needs the attachments to be an effective farm tractor. If you watch just a few acres farm, his winter project are buying old tractors and full restoring them over the winter! I really like the fact you guys are starting this as a part of your channel, I hope you keep it up!!!

Happy new year to you guys

Happy New Year, Laura and Grant! Looking forward to your adventures in the new year!

Happy New Year Laura and Grant

Same! It's incredible how fast her channel took off, I re watched the "Intro to Me" video a couple nights ago.
