I love how you rebuild the tractor and work with the older equipment.

I died when you said: "It'll have 50 hp if the wind is blowing in the right direction."

I think it's great that you take old farm equipment and refurbish it and use it on your farm. Usefulness with history...... Thanks Pete

I grew up on a small farm in the 70s and these videos bring back great memories. It's very hard work but so rewarding. Thanks Pete for all the effort of filming this

Growing up my dad had a 2 acre garden. We had chickens and 2 horses. Used to have to muck out the horse stalls and spread it on the garden. In 8 years that 2 acres had gained 4 inches of soil.

THANKS SO MUCH for you're videos I'm 15 and I have 1 tractor and 10 cows in Ireland👍👍👍👍🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

I sure do love watching you run those old tractors!

Hi Pete: I left my wife at an auction today and she bought me a NI 14A spreader. It was converted to steel wheel by some Amish. It needs quite a bit of work. I'm not much of a mechanic but I think I can figure this out. This will be my first mechanical project on the farm since I started. Thanks for your inspiration.

Gorgeous Tractor and spreader. I really enjoy your tractor videos.

If we had these farms spread through out the United States, I would have loved to go and get all my groceries, milk,eggs and cheese from them locally! Big box stores destroyed everything and the quality of food and life went to shi.t!!!! Thank you for your good teachings and the hard job that you do!

Love this channel. I'm an IH guy. It's nice to see someone on youtube showing the old IH some love.

I just recently did the same thing. But I prefer to spread mine in the fall so it can soak into the soil over the winter. I use a modern 26 hp Mahindra Max 26 xl shuttle tractor and a vintage International 200 ground drive spreader. I raise sheep & goats in Indiana. My spreader works the same way yours does. Enjoyed your video!

Thanks again Pete for the knowledge! Wish I could be doing the same thing right now! Stay healthy be safe!

Love your New Idea spreader.. and your tractors .. don’t see many models like that in Ireland ..

You do impressive restorations!

My dad used to call the spreader a T _ _ d Hearse. I started driving as a youngster on dad's F20s and F30s then Hs and Ms. My brother however farmed primarily with Minneapolis Molines and I spent a lot of time in the dirt seated down between the rear wheels on Us and UBs.

Make sure all you viewers watch the ads .. its worth it .. Pete gives us great content!!!!

Cant get enough compost 👍

Hey Pete looks like you are busy.farming is not a job it’s a passion.manure is the best fertilizer you can have.we put a lot of manure on the fields keep the videos coming you do a great job.

I have my old Ferguson nearly done -- not a complete rebuild like yours, but it should run well. I am planning to tend my horse pastures with it. I'll need to make a roll bar for it though as we are in some of the hilliest ground around.

Such great content that you share with us. God Bless.

You passionately love what u do...!! So obvious..

Amazing video! Thank you for all your work! Cool story about the building of the new idea.

Whoa! The poo really files on this channel! :D Seriously, amazing restorations and an incredible look at some of the machinery that fed the country for generations. Someday we'll wake up and realize that poo is a miracle life-affirming substance. Or maybe not, not. But hopefully.

Love your videos pete!I have the same manure spreader past down to me from my pap.Id really like to redo it one day.

Old equipment, particularly pre 1990s Deere and pre 1970s IH is awesome. But you gotta do the maintenance.

How about roll bars on those tractors, classmate of mine lost her dad when a grader went over, large farm owner.

thats a ton of compost! I bet if you ran your egg layer chickens through that it would feed them and break it down that much faster. Karl Hammer does this in vermont. Thanks for the videos, so much great info

I have found that working Farmall tractors on the land will improve soil conditions, lower depression in farmers, and make happier farm cats that will mouse better than average. I know from experience. I run a cub and 230 farmalls and my cats are catching mice now.

I drove H tractor on our farm. We had 4 row corn picker and i hauled the wagon loads of ear corn to wire corn cribs. Used elevator to get corn in cribs. If person would buy an H today, what would cost about? We had shellers to come to the farm. Big day i got ti stay home from school and help Mom serve the men dinner.

Pete needto put fenders that H great video keep it up😊

i got a 14a new idea spreader i replaced floor and few links in chain.. i use a 1954 allis chalmers wd45 to pull is my farmall A is bit light for it.. great vids ive watch few your vids..

Dave can you explain? Pete is saying that he only gets one pass of the field out of the muck spreader. Could he not have extended the angle iron (Not sure of US terminology the L shaped steel bars) and put more planking on the sides? Many, many years ago I used to work in a coal yard and the tipper wagons that hauled light fuel like coke or who were hauling coal but normally hauled denser materials fitted additional planking at the top of the wagons. Generally known as "Greedy Boards" I realise the wheels are right at the rear but would the hitch downforce be that bad?

Always enjoyed spreading "compost" my dad said I was full of it.

Love your video's and the old equipment talk....where are you farming? ...how many acres?

Hey would you and your Dad mind re-building the honey wagon that’s been sitting at the edge of a field for 5-7 years? Awesome work there!

Good video 👍👍👍👍

Enjoyed your video, just found them a couple days ago. I, too have a small farm. I am second generation. I like doing my hay and corn, and cattle. My son and grandson are starting to help some now and am going to turn over to them, We were out yesterday with my New Holland 519 Manure spreader, spreading Bermuda grass sprigs to start a new hay field. I bought a 1978 model 2440 John dear about 10 months ago and use it more than my 2013 model with cab. Really like the old stuff, heavier per horse power. Keep posting videos, like you said most are driving around not telling what is happening or reason for it. Live in the South.

And when the manufacturers built these old tractors and implements there was no doubt that the owner had "the right to repair". They expected the owner/operator to repair and maintain..

The spreader would be empty before you reached the end of the field. One other note, we would generally spread fresh manure from the barn every day which is much worse if you would get wind at your back!

Hi Pete! Where did you get the parts when your rebuilt the tractors? Also how did you educate yourself how to rebuild them? Or did you just wing it! Thanks!!

Can that replace urea for groving grass for making a hay? Or it's is onliy for ship pasture.

HI Pete. How big is your farm? Is it just you and your wife taking care of the farm or do you have other help? Take Care

@@JustaFewAcresFarm how long after spreading do you let animals on it? I worked briefly for a rich lady who had too many horses. They would clean stalls and dump it directly in the spreader and spread it on a field they weren't using that year. 🤔

How come it's not white?

I'm real glad I don't have to deal with that. Our climate and irrigation let us graze all year.

I have a 40.5 acre farm in Sullivan county your 45 acres look more like 8o plus to me.

Put it behind the c and the a see what happens

This guy even paints his manure spreader.

It's a Honey spreader.

I keep hearing about pig manure being 'hot'. Does the blending with cow and chicken manure help 'cool it down' or am I missing something here? BTW I really like the way you farm organically. Around where I live fertilizer and pesticide sales are booming. My opinions regarding the 'new ways' of farming and ranching are not popular.

@JustaFewAcresFarm

Hi Autocrete, pig manure is higher in nitrogen than cattle manure; sometimes people call that "hot." But poultry manure is off the charts in nitrogen content compared to pig or cattle manure. Composting the manure helps lock that nitrogen into the soil vs. having it escape as ammonia gas. Composting also makes the manure "soil friendly;" spreading raw manure can "burn" living plants; it can hurt them if the manure has not been broken down by bacteria yet.

I noticed how you touched the blades with your bare hands and then put gloves on to drive.....

Nice tractor and spreader. I think your manure would have benefited from being turned a few times and being kept somewhat covered, it looks slimy (it has gone anaerobic).
