Thanks 👍
AMEN. THANK YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST for a bountiful harvest. Keep looking up.
Yes!!!! You played Foggy Mountain Breakdown!!! It sounded beautiful!!!! A man blessed with many talents on loan from God!! Thanks for the vids and your great sense of humor. Blessings to you and your family.
Glad she fired right up for you Bill, it’s good to see old equipment still working in today’s modern environment. I hope you have a good harvest and weekend my friend 🙏🏻🇺🇸
I love how you eat what you grow. Very few people on this day and age understand how this happens. Looking forward to the cleaning and grinding into flower. God speed Bill.
Need to let Snoopy drive the combine and you can sit on the porch and drink some sweet tea have a bless day 👍👍
It's always a great feeling eating your own harvest. I know all too well brother. Have a wonderful evening
Thank you for keeping it interesting and entertaining as you show real life. There are still a few of us that don’t have million dollar operations!
Well the old girl got the job done. My first combine was a 303 international 10 foot grain head and a 2 row corn head it had a chevy 250 six cylinder.
Thanks Bill, always enjoy your facial expressions. Good for a chuckle. God bless.
Hi Bill,..one enjoy to see your low stress farming style with all the mechanical issues face daily are sort without costly repairs and most of all your strong faith too. We had many of this era J.Deere combines around here as i once rode on a new J.D. 105 with 22' head in 1968 it was the largest combine then next to N.Holland M140. Best regards, Bill.
Nothing hi-tech, but still got the job done. You definitely aren't in flat country. I enjoy the aerial views that give a perspective of the surroundings.

Hey Don, great to hear from you! No level place on this farm, but we deal with it.
Great to see our old combine is still running! We cut alot of soybeans with that machine.
Thanks for sharing the video Bill. Ole 40 didn't let you down. Neighbor cut my wheat last week with a 9660 John Deere. I rode with him and I told him that was not like the combines I had through the years. Yes sir God provides for us all. Y'all will have a plenty of good flour for the delicious meals of whatever they make from it. Hope y'all have a great summer too.

Wow, thank you!
Wait a minute! You didn't have to calibrate the GPS? Set the field edges? Adjust the yield monitor for test weight? WOW, you just went out and threshed your wheat! Amazing in this day and time! Great video, Bill. You never disappoint!
We had the same JD 40 CB, that was nice to have on a small dairy farm.
Love that sound track, too 🪕
Love that opening with Snoopy !
I am surprised that there isn't some condensation in the old combine fuel tank also. Looks like you had a good time cutting wheat this year as usual. Thanks for the videos.
Glad to see the original Delco Remey generator still there. Plus you're a part owner in a tank cleaning company. Clean the tank !! You know how I am. Lol.

Clean the tank? What, and give up the extra drama in my videos of breaking down. in the field? HaHa.
Southcentral Kansas wheat harvest has been done for about 2 weeks now, most were seeing 60 bpa down to 10 bpa is spots. Most wheat stubble is planted to either soybeans or milo. Hope you have plenty of grain for a mountain of flapjacks. Stay Blessed friend!
Awesome videos Bill it sure looked hot out there 😅 that old iron has makes cleaner grain than overpriced machines of today 😊

That's a real clean looking bin of grain. I think you are smart not to put that combine in a field of modern seeding. I wonder how overwhelmed it would be in a heavy modern seeded and fertilized field. Really nice you can bring the past to the present - it's hard to understand why so many cannot be content to slow life down and enjoy yesteryear. The best times were on the farm with my dad, mom, and 7 siblings. Good memories.

Hey John! Thanks for the kind words. The past sort of is my present, I too think it's a better life.
Amen
That's the first combine I remember then we got a big 55 had a little blower in the corner of the cab we thought we was in high cotton
Nice looking fields, nice looking equipment. Who says you need all the technology to do farm work. Neighbor had an old allis chalmers pull type combine. We use once in awhile
Awesome job on the harvest, always something braking down lol, God Bless

One would think to harvest wheat you would need a grain cart!

I would love to find an old John Deere grain cart, but I don't raise enough to quite fill the hopper on the combine!😆
Get her done great video
Have a friend in central Michigan, kinda the same thing. He has a Gleaner A i believe. Cuts about 15 acres a year. His does have a sweat box on his .

You have some really cool stuff Bill! Although I don't know enough about John Deer to know what you're showing us I surely recognize classic American ingenuity. Nice touch with the box end wrench today 😉. One question, aren't your cows for eating? Keep the videos coming friend.

Hey Robert! Yes the cattle we raise are beef cattle, we sell by the quarter or the side. We usually eat one a year at our house, not all in one weekend of course.
I have always preferred baked goods made with fresh ground flour. Better flavor and better for you, and by my mathematics if its better for you extra helpings are ok
Just wondering: are you playing the banjo music? It's well done!
