reasonable yield this year

Next year I hope to get a little plot of soybeans planted so I can play with my Massey-Harris 35. I always enjoyed riding with my Dad when combining.

is this your neighbours tractor or yours, also what happened to the 178 is that your too

what year is that tractor and is it good on fuel

I operated the same model for a farmer at sth Burracoppin. We ripped up with shearer scarifier and seeded with a massey ferguson 7000 7 ton box with a 259 40 ft bar with thomas tynes . They were a lovely tractor to drive. I did 4 seedings in it. They were a rugged well built machine as good as any steiger or versatile.

Great stuff, keep the videos coming.

When i did my grandfathers old f14 i used 16ga. Steel no galvanized tin and fusion welded it in place no excessive welding just bead rolled the pan and cut to fit and installed it and welded in a set of bungs and a filter for the fuel feed and the drain both at the lowest point not staggered. Later we made new bottoms for his F30 distillate tractor which had two tanks one outside the other but formed into the main kero tank.

Very interesting, a question I have for anyone who wants to add their thoughts or experiences, so here it goes, a car door, which was previously paint stripped via an acid dip to bare metal, bearing in mind the door has been sitting for over a year so some flash rust has appeared, the question is would you dip a car door in this solution to remove the flash rust? following this process the door will get primed and then spray painted the usual way !

Peter Andrews is amazing! I saw his idea many years ago! Well done for your informative upload on your own progression..😊

Great video mate. Keep it up.

Better than I could do Geoffrey. Cheers

Not the sharpest in the draw. Already in stubble. Oats always ready before any other grain. Moved to another paddock of stubble again.

15K in a couple of mins, pretty fast Harvester Geoffrey. Keep the video's coming mate. Cheers Darryl

Definitely get a different view of the road when moving in a harvester

Very clever work with basic equipment. This tractor is going to be well preserved and enjoyed. I bet you are looking forward to the first crank up

A early New Holland 275A. Good balers, we have a late series 275A. It has been a trouble-free baler in the 15 years we've owned it. It does between 1500 - 2000 bales a year on 6 acres of land doing 3 cuts a year (we average 1800mm of rain a year in our part of Australia). We pull ours with either a David Brown 880 selectamatic or a 990 Selectamatic. I occasionally do some contract baling with it but with our SAME Dorado 85, it's a lot quicker on the road and registered and way more comfortable. I had an early Leyland Nuffield 344 was a good tractor.

If it weren’t for old equipment I don’t think the small farmer couldn’t exist anymore. I always enjoy your videos. Thank you

excellent as expected from you

Hello, it is our dream to have a hscs crawler in our collection. Could you help us find one for sale? We have over 30 hscs tractors in our collection. Greetings from Hungary, Sandor

Thanks for documenting your resotoration. Its great to see how Peter Andrew's methods are working

Yes your right in this video but he also smooth out the steep side to make them more smooth and planted water reeds and willows which promoted aquatic life- also dump cow dong on the grassed area which boost fertility when it rains creating new soil

Don’t know a thing about shearing sheep but looks like back breaking work even with the supports they use. Looks as though you are doing some sorting of grades of wool?

Another Really good video. Excellent description of all that is happening with the lamb and wool. Chris is as you say an outstanding shearer with good control of the lamb and care of the fleece. We have grass seeds now and will be shearing remaining lambs as soon as our shearer is available.

I know you haven't used any audio from the shed in this video, but watching the shearing brings back memories from so long ago, it's like I can hear the shears, etc in the video.

love it

Great to see how your oats are shaping up. Looking forward to the harvest videos

We’re in Orroroo, Goyder’s line territory, running mostly sheep but a sharefarmer does a bit of “opportunistic cropping” as my dad would say. With resting paddocks, sheep feed has been okay until now, and with only 4 maybe 5 inches in the growing season, the sharefarmers got something worth reaping. So we’ve probably come out of it ok

Thanks for the walk around an the ride along.

I really enjoy your videos

I'm working on a 60s 3414 loader backhoe it has a similar 4 cylinder. One cylinder was seized with rust. I cut the piston and knocked it out in pieces. But I broke the sleeve and coolant came out. I said rutro.. but I see from your video it's a wet sleeve. No problems.. should be easy to get out since it's broken. Thanks

Some overseas farmers build suitable bird boxes on the fence line to encourage fly catcher types to hang around. Has anybody tried it? Did it work? Can it be used to eat the maggots if they do strike? If it does then it would be cheaper and safer than chemicals, crutching, etc.

oh my its excatly the same as the one dad had when i was a kid (53,now) it toodyay

Stunning sky there 0:17

Interesting as usual. You and Jess have a lifestyle many would envy. thanks Geoffrey

I’d completely forgotten until I saw your bailer. But as a kid growing up on the farm, I had a little toy hay bailer (a bit bigger than matchbox sized). It had a number of little plastic hay bales that you loaded into it and as you towed it around the floor or table it’d push a plastic bale out the back every so often. Your bailer looks just like a bigger version of the toy I had as a youngster.

its interesting. Although your options are valid and often done, I wouldn't do it that way. I'd yeomans plow the field, and rotational graze it doing daily moves with portable electric fencing reels. works a treat.

If your going to be cropping it the next two years why don’t you spray top it to aid weed control for the next year

So very interesting copaction curse

Very satisfying having put your hay in the shed knowing that you have done everything possible for good quality. I love the whole challenge of hay time. Working out the program around the weather and the rush to beat rain. Thanks for showing us the all that goes into it.

hard work doing it the old way. Remember as a kid getting roped into hay karting

In W.A., if you move overwidth items irregularly, carried on the tray of a vehicle, you need a single-trip permit from Main Roads W.A. If you move overwidth items regularly, you need to become accredited with the MRWA, and undergo their overwidth course training to become accredited. A single-trip permit is only $25 and can be obtained online. If you move overwidth without a permit and get caught by the Police or Transport Inspectors, it will cost you a $1000 fine. A mate with a tilt-tray got caught overwidth without a permit, at 6:00AM on a Sunday morning, by Transport Inspectors. He should've known better, he's a professional with a $350,000 Mercedes tilt tray truck. If you're a farmer, you can move agricultural implements in W.A. without a permit, by driving or towing them on the road, but you must still obey all the overwidth laws requirements (including the requirement for escorts, when over 3.5M wide), and not exceed a speed that is 20kmh less than the posted speed limit for the section of road you're on, with a maximum overwidth speed of 80kmh.

That is not a "Fordson" grader, it is a Malcolm Moore Power Grader. It was built on the original Wehr Power Grader design. Wehr produced the first of their graders, the Wehr One-Man Power Grader in Milwaukee in 1922, with the patent for the design taken out in Dec 1921. Wehr used the standard Fordson tractor bolted straight into their grader frame. In 1925, Malcolm Moore imported the Wehr grader into Australia, using Australian-assembled Fordson tractors as the power unit (Ford established their factory in Australia in 1925). Malcolm Moore built the Wehr Power graders from about 1926, and Lynas Motors Perth, being the primary Ford car and truck dealer for Western Australia, distributed the Wehr Power graders, as well as Ford cars and trucks. Wehr Power Graders were available in wheeled and tracked versions, using the Fordsons with wheels or the Trackson track system. During the 1930's, Malcolm Moore's engineering business improved on the Wehr grader, and started construction of their own designs of motor grader - leading to the Malcolm Moore Road Master and Malcolm Moore Power Master lines of motor graders from 1940 onwards. You really need to jack up the front end of that grader, get the weight off the steering linkages and knuckles and pump some moly disulphide grease into the front end. And you NEVER try to turn the steering with the machine stopped, it's so much easier to turn the steering wheel when the machine is moving a small amount. If you think that old grader has heavy steering, you should try a "knucklebuster" Cat 12 with manual steering, it makes you think and plan every movement of the steering, using wheel lean, slopes, and taking the weight with the moldboard!

That is fantastic

I've seen this done a few times before with the old nh 851, looks like they do a good job of it , and they are much cheaper than a hay rake too, I'm still using mine to make rounds though.

That green machine is the most modern thing I have seen on this channel. Keep them coming Geoffrey good man

Great machine Geoffrey, but is that tractor still under warranty, looks a bit new compared to the Fordson. Cheers mate.

Clever invention.

Brillant machine

Thank you from Salem Oregon. I'll be changing all my Troopy's wheel bearings soon.
