My grandfather always ran older Ford tractors and the sound of your’s running takes me back to the my childhood.

Oh how I love those Ford tractors! A mid 60s 3000 diesel is what I learned on. Few things at that time could make a 12yr old boy happier. I loved bushogging and if given the opportunity today I would probably love it just as much as I did almost 50yrs ago. thanks for sharing,it brings back alot of happy memories!

I remember this old ford 5000, diesel with that older shift pattern...late 50's I think...Grey body with Blue power train...shame some SOB stole it.

It's nice to have Old Blu to do the dirty work and she keeps on ticking.

Dad traded in the 8N for a 1966 4000 gas with a split grille like yours back in the early '70s. 4000 tested at around 47 pto hp and the 3000 at around 39 per TractorData. Good old tractors!

Where I live in Thailand they use old 3000s and similar to haul boats in and out the beach every day. the condition of them is amazing lol even seen one the front axle bar fell off and for the past 6 months just held on by twisted wire lol

Got stuck just like this on a Ford 5000...and got it unstuck the same way!

I love old Ford tractors I started out on a 19 48 Ford 8 n it was my great grandfather's an I still have it today an it runs an drives I use it to plow an disk my garden an plow snow an pull logs for fire wood I'm looking for a brush hog for it

Thanks for sharing!!! I really enjoy these videos with a good mix of tractors working and some talking about projects. I am recovering from a surgery and I can't go do any of my projects for awhile until Doc clears me to run equipment.

I need it this video....thank you!

Great I love the old FORD tractors you can’t beat them!!

Love the 2000 ford. Raked a lot of hay with one. They have their own unique sound. Don’t even have to see it to know it’s a ford when it is idling.

Great job getting off the stump. My Dad had a saying,"DON'T GET YOUR SELF INTO TO ANYTHING YOU CAN"T GET YOURSELF OUT OF"

Always like watching the old Ford 3000 at work a oldie but a Goldie Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God Bless

I own a 6600 but I like the 5000 better. Both are great do. The 6600 Mexico stopped production around 1995

Worked and played with those 1960s Ford tractors since they were new. Our yacht club still has a 2000 for moving boats around on shore and launching.

I love this generation of Ford tractors. I've driven a 2000 and a 3000 one gas and one diesel. And they are some tough, reliable machines.

Wow, My best friend, Thank you for your hard work in making the video. I enjoyed the good video. Have a happy day.

Good evening Wes. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

I am always amazed seeing brush cutters in action. That's the next bit of equipment I need because I have reached the limit of what I can barrel over in an old sacrificial riding mower.

I for one, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE that good ol' FORD tractor!!!! Whenever I see it, it brings I smile to my face much like seeing 'soft batch' chocolate chip cookies!

I have a Ford 3600 with a HD Woods Brushbull attached. Beast. A- Consider slowing down, B- Yanking a saw out of a pinch like that is going to tear the rubber mounts and/or pull the bar mount studs loose from the crankcase. Just use a wedge in the kerf and life will be easier. Love the drone footage from high above.

Can’t beat a Ford 3000, I have a 71 mdl that my dad bought new and it’s never let us or our 77 acres down. Great video!

Good working Ford 3000. When I'm brush hoggin like that I'm always afraid I'm going to run into a wasp nest.

Nice Machine! its all fun and games until you run into a bee nest! haha have a great day!

You have got the "patience of Job" with moving the camera for so many different angles for us!! Thanks!! Great video, again!!! ✨️👍❤️

Great Video! That old tractor is great, just wish mine had power steering though!

I agree, I’ve got one of these old work horses!

Two things: 1. I too learned on a old Ford, a 1973 Ford 3500 diesel that looked exactly like yours. Great tractor. 2. The drone shots looking down through the trees are amazing. Well done.

I only believe what that brush hog mowed down because I watched it. That thing is a beast.

Good tractors Ford's, I had 2 x 4000's and a TW25 all were excellent and never let be down once in all the years I had them. That Bush walker, good strong toll and worth its weight in gold.

Fly trap info- I had the Rescue brand ‘Big Bag Fly Trap’ shipped to me. Boy does it work I wish they had something for Mosquitoes

Those old Ford tractors are a work horse for sure. I’ve got to get mine running again before it returns to the earth, but haven’t wanted to fight with it since getting the a new John Deere.

Good job 👍

Must be satisfying to have that grove all cleaned up!

Go around the outside edge with the brush cutter. Set a hot wire and let your pigs loose. They will have a great time, clear the area and give you great tasting pork.

Great video. Loved the music at the end - went well with the shot!

I would put a grade 8 bolt and locknut in place of the pin. That spring clip will pop up in brush eventually and you’ll be searching for that wheel.

can't beat them old ford tractor

Great shots with all the angles. I’ve had great success when cutting down sweet gums immediately after the cut I paint the freshly cut stump with concentrated glyphosate. Tractor Supply brand. If you wait too long the stump will heal over and it won’t work. This works great on any freshly cut hardwood that would otherwise send up new growth. I keep an old paint brush, gloves and glyphosate in my utility box on the back of my tractor. Hang in there.

Hats off to you sir for filming the tractor getting stuck, what a pain to deal with

That old 2000 and I were very familiar with each other and the title is right. These will still be rolling when today's throw away tractors are growing rust.

Lol It's easy for me to say that Papaw's place was 375 acres and the hog lot was about 4. We ran a lotta hogs through that thing. Those old tractors were made to work. Unless you kill it by not taking care of it, they'll run forever. Absolutely love your channel and especially the videos with little man!!

Impressive jbar. I love the old tractor. I think one like that with diesel in four wheel drive would be perfect.

That J-Bar brush hog is impressive Wes. You were mowing down stuff that I was cringing at but went right through. I was thinking when you said, "Laziness never pays off"...Oh I'll take care of that stump another day...like when my tractor gets stuck on it. Great video Wes thumbs up.

If I didn’t have an old Oliver 550 tractor, I’d have an old Ford.

My grandfather had Ford tractors and they used them nearly every day. Memories!! PS…. Expand the pen for those pigs out into the brush. They’ll clear it in no time.

“Ole Blue Bird” never fails to get the job done.

Love the old BLUE!

Yes still use a Ford 3000 for raking hey and there is nothing like the sound of the 3 cylinder Perkins

The pines not worthless but it's no we're near what it should be.

You have to loosen the bolts on the front cover to drain out the old fluid.

I really like the old Ford tractor

Love your content! I'm cutting with an 8N and old falling apart bush hog. I look at your "old tractor" with envy! :) one suggestion might be to move the pig pen thru that area you are cutting. That'll cut down on the flies and let the pigs more "fully express their piggness". See Joel Salatin's videos on piggerator pork.

nice save

I am thinking about getting a old Ford 3000 I was wanting to see this video so that I could decide what I am going to do I think that I want it

The older diesel tractors are much ahead of the newer ones. You don't have fuel and time wasting regeneration, you're not tied to dealer specific maintenance. A good independent tractor mechanic can care for it. No complicated electronics. Nice cutter you're using. I'd guess that it's a standard gearbox, not J BAR specific. Good video. HAPPY HOGS!

They're bomb proof.

I saw this on another tractor related channel that I trust, and he mentioned that some people, especially the old timers, would drain the gear oil out of the rotary cutter gear box and just pump it full of grease and call it good. It's one of those things that makes you think "humm, why not?". The gear box on a cutter is about as simple as they come but I know squat so take it for what it's worth, lol....

I haven't seen anything out of the Christmas trees this year. Piggies are looking good.

I have an old J-Bar Finish Mower that I bought used ten years ago and I used it for a lot of mowing that should probably have been a job for the brush hog. It lasted me a good long while until the spindle bearings went. I called J-Bar and, even though it was some twenty years old, they had all the parts I would have needed to get it back up and running. Well... I saw a new big box brand deal on sale and impulse took over. I won't say what brand I got, but its been nothing but trouble for me and I now regret that decision. More than one occasion I have considered selling the new shiny and using that money to fix my old J-bar. Friends... if you can get your hands on a J-bar anything... know that its going to be built like a tank and, when you do end up needing parts, you can just call them up with your serial number and they'll take care of you.

I have had the same trouble you had with high objects. I use my Kubota with the bucket about 6 or 8 inches of the ground in uncharted territory so it hits what I can't see. Good luck.
