My Massey and red equipment are about 20 years older than yours and a lot smaller, and not as many acres. I do it just because I can and it is so peaceful listening to the tractor and equipment doing it's thing. I plant corn and harvest it with a 1 row picker. It is all very satisfying.
A farmer made it as a millionaire. He inherited a lot of money... Starting as a billionaire. When asked if he regretted it...: 'Well if there's any money left when I die... I regret haven't paid more attention to math..."
That’s a great insight of what returns you could get. First time I’ve seen a RUclipsr giving a honest expectation of what he can hope for. Enjoying the various contents. 👍
Cole the Cornstar just started a series of videos about the financial situation on his farm. It´s a insight in modern farming and shows the difficulties of the Business.
One thing that JT did not account for was time - time to cultivate, spray, plant and then later on, harvest and transport. All of that is worth money and needs to be included in the costs as well
Totally agree with you David, and as JT has said he already has 15 hrs spent on it, then another how many it will be to harvest and transport it. Fortunately for us though that watch his channel he has said a few times and once again in one of his latest videos that this isn’t his job but just a hobby that he loves doing. 👍
I’m glad you included the financial breakdown to many people don’t understand what’s involved. Many years ago my dad wanted me to raise pigs 🐖 . I asked what’s the profit margin he didn’t know, so I started raising pigs and found the profit margin was $2.00 dollars per pig so I told my dad that and he said that some of the cost you can’t take into account, I said you better count all your cost . If you don’t how do you know if you made any profit or just loosing money. Farming is a gamble and a business.
Not all farming is a business because not all farmers grow things to sell for profit. Some do it for self-sufficiency so they're not relying on grocery stores. We actually just tried our hands at raising pigs and bought a couple last September. They were just harvested today and will be processed in the coming days. We won't know how well we did quality wise until we get the meat back from the butcher. But what we get from both pigs will last both my older brothers family and ours a year. The trade-off is you knowing what went into the animals because you fed them, unlike buying something from the store. People have no clue what kinds of garbage they put into the meat you buy at the grocer.
I worked for a rice farmer that ran Massey Ferguson equipment during my high school years here in southeast Texas. The very first tractor I drove for him was a Massey 1155 open cab pulling a Miller offset disk. I still remember that brand new 1805 4wd when it was brought out to the field. Smelled like a brand new car to me.
_Alright!!_ Coffee on the farm! Looking forward to this. And "long" is okay sometimes - don't sweat running a bit longer than usual, unless you just don't have time for it. Many of us will enjoy just about anything you post.
@jtsbarnngrill6873 I'm not saying drop a 2 hour video three or four times a week, lol. I'm just saying that if you feel like running a bit longer once in a while, we wouldn't mind. Anything around a rough hour or less would probably be perfectly acceptable. You're funny, and we enjoy your company and your content. We won't get bored. Two other channels I watch also drop (roughly) weekly videos on weekend mornings, and they both regularly post 45-90 minute videos. They're both fun guys doing interesting things with farming and equipment. They do well in that format, and I think your followers would be onboard if you decided to lean into the runtime occasionally. Nobody would be alienated by that. Seems like the same kind of crowd watching you. Either way you go, we're here for you and what you do. 😊
Thanks JT! These educational-informational videos are a great twist on your channel. I really like this one and the previous one with the sprayer calibration. Your equipment is the most impressive out there!
We quit farming in the 80's. At the time our main tillage tractors were an IH 1066 and 1466 black strip. We pulled a 24 ft. massey disk with 18 in. disks. That 1466 knew it had a load when you put that thing in the ground! I remember wanting an 1800 or 1805 to pull our larger equipment. Those were, and still are great tractors, as you well know. For a short time, I was a mechanic for a Massey Fergusson dealer in Missouri. This was around 1979 so I'm very familiar with the older Massey Iron. I love your videos! Brings back so many memories on several levels, THANKS!
I do want to share this with you. After tearing up the rear end of a 1135 Massey the Rep from Massey Fergusion told my dad that he had to much weight on the tractor. We had a full rack of weights on the front of the tractor and fluid in the rear tires. He said as a example when you plow and hit a rock the tractor is so glued to the ground that the shock of hitting something isn't absorbed with the tires slipping it goes right to the rear end and blows gears out. We dropped all the weight and never had anymore problems with rear ends in our Massey tractors.
Enjoyed watching the old Iron getting it done. Those engines put out a great sound. Beats the hell out of all the plastic and high tech junk out there today.
There's a case in the courts with John Deere vs the consumers... John Deere reserves the right to have a life expectancy on their equipment as well as having an exclusive right to maintenance and service. Farmers are hacking their equipment with the help of Ukraine. John Deere took it to the courts... Farmers expecting to be doing maintenance and service on their own equipment??!!!! John Deere would have none of it... however on the 10th of January 2023 the farmers won in court... They're now allowed to do maintainance and repairs on their own tractors... The world is coming to an end... How are companies supposed to stay in business without a monopoly? Free trade... How are profitable businesses going to survive if they're going to face competition? Not to mention the uncertainty of the market... if you have to pay taxes... who's going to invest in a company that can't guarantee a fixed revenue? Paying taxes makes the investors uncertain - you don't know the return! A lot of physical products can be calculated by the amount of work put into it. However products involving intellectual property and rights can't be taxed! They're far to valuable to be taxed and should be excempted from taxes..! If you think this is far fetched... You should see the reasons presented to the Congress for being excempted from taxes - not like paying taxes were paid in the first place. But just the thought of having to pay taxes is unheard of. Luxembourg is a tax haven. Companies pay like 1/48th of a percent in taxes. In other words earning 4800USD you pay 1USD in taxes. Of course companies have to come up with something in response to that... evading the taxes... Farming is simply not making any economical sense - you rely on a physical product like pigs. Once sold you can't charge fees for service, insurances and the likes. It's game over once the produce is sold. Any clever merchant knows the real value is in offering a product to lure the customers in. God forbid the real value of the product is a reflection of its value... It's the extras that holds the value....
I haven't even the slightest idea of farming. But to see how much effort it takes to produce something makes me much more appreciate what all farmers do for the people and animals!
I really like this channel. I love seeing the big old Massey's out working. Those big girls were never sold her in New Zealand. There are a small handful of the 1100 series around but no pivot steers. We tend to get our tractor from Europe
I'm restoring a 1130 massey. Bought it cheap with a bad engine but the rest of the tractor is decent. When I get it done, I'll start looking for a 1150.
Really cool tractors you got there. I've a anniversary for myself this year. Have a Volvo T-24 from 1954 and a MF 135 from 1974. Cheers from Sweden. 🤠👍
On the farm I grew up on our 1155 was THE BIG TRACTOR! I loved that tractor and I drove by 3days ago and she just sits on the hill😢. Love your videos brother keep up the awesomeness
I farmed with my father through about 1983 then I decided to do what I thought was bigger and better things. I was a salesman then a manager and ended up in law enforcement. But how I wish I would have stayed farming. Dad was a welder and worked the afternoon shift and farmed on the side. The tractors I remember was all Massey Fergusion. He bought a new 165 diesel , then got more land traded the 165 for a new 175 diesel. He had the for awhile then bought a farm and bought a new 1130 after a few years and more rented land He got a 1135. First cab tractor. Then more land and my favorite tractor ever was a Massy 2745. I've driven a 1805 so watching you brings back alot of awesome memories. Thank you for sharing your life with us,
I loved your breakdown at the end. My dad's favorite saying was farming was just a hobby, and we had 2000 acres. You just proved the point. I wish the average person in the grocery store actually knew what it takes to stock those shelves.
Right on! Most people think we just make money hand over fist, and what’s even better is soybeans are 2$ a bushel less than this spring when I made this video
This is a fantastic video. It's so much fun to see your fine machines in use. I live in Sweden and we have many MFs here as well. However, our older machines here are a little smaller than yours and of course adapted for Europe. You have a really fun and interesting channel. Thanks!!!
Good job. Thanks for explaining and showing start to finish. I don't think any farmer does it just for the money. I know i don't. Hope your crop is better than expected. More time to combine and more trips to the elevator but those are the kind of problems we all like.
Great video JT, as long as you having fun, and enjoying a good hobby, and getting to ride around on sweet rides, the money is just a bonus, have fun 👍🏻
That 1165 Massey Ferguson it's just a gorgeous tractor don't know why I like that one more than any of the other ones but that is my favorite might have something to do with the sound too
Well from a video stand point Awesome. As from start to finish. Id like to have seen your 1105 plowing. Nothing better than a tractor working and the smell of freshly plowed soil. Have a great day.
Wonderful JT I watched the whole video while peeling potatoes but lord I thought you made more money on that 32 acres anyway I enjoyed the heck outta this thanks for letting us in on this, very good entertainment for me my friend, just be careful out there I know you do but never hurts to say, see you on the next one.
You finally cleaned all the dashboards, I'm shocked. 😆 Check out junkyard digs from 2 years ago they found a 1st or 2nd gen Hagie that you should be aware of because it would be neato to have one at the right price.
You're sprayer that you've got hooked up to the 1105 looks just like the one my dad had on our farm. We also had Massey Ferguson's on our farm we had a 180 and an 1130. Both great tractors.
Nice explanations. For my opinion you need to add the cost of your equipment maintenance, like paint for restoration for example. And the cost of your new barn. Keep it up ! I Love the 1800 restoration 😁
Really cool financial breakdown at the end !I'm vested now I hope it does triple the 28 bushel for ya ! 😂 I have 80 tillable acres of family land in New England were trying to decide a good crop to do on soon . Right now it's sod but that takes a layer of loam off every cutting and next thing you know its down to gravel
Nice one j.t as normal. It took back to far . But I did enjoy the video though it was really good. Only thing I see .but I can't really say anything because it's your kit . But to looked like the front row of discs could go little more sweated back. But it could be the way it looked on video. Please don't take the wrong way. You no what you are doing just the way it looked on video that's all. Glad you got done that's main thing.
Great video and explanation. Now I’m off to plant beans with my 6080 Allis and modified 7000 planter with brush meters. Old but does the job with good results. Thx
I wish you lived closer to me I have two Massey Ferguson 7 tractor with m o w e r decks that I'm going to be looking to get rid of I would love to see you have them
JT, u know how to work ur acres of land is amazing.. didn't know how much it cost to plant some acres of land. $1,400- beer/lunch/food for Fluffy/ect..
Great video, I always wondered how much money was in farming. I’m assuming this isn’t what you do full time, so what do you do for work? Could be a good topic for a Sunday video.
Great Video and here is hoping for 40bu/ac beans and good prices. The 1155 looks like it was just at idle, I bet it didn't even know it was pulling that drill.
Great video and you're pretty accurate on your cost. Just think if you had a big new tractor and equipment you'd be losing money doing that field for sure.
Can you do the same kind of video with the other feild if your planting corn in it would be cool to see the brake down at the end with corn prices and income as well.
Excellent video JT :) also my one grandfather plus uncle even my dad used say we all play smart and be wise also learning from we do daily! On farm it up & down like play a game but try keeping going strong too and enjoy lots more! Yes it lots hard work be farmer JT and not easy but fun challenging too!
What ppl don’t understand is this is all estimates. I seen around my area where all it takes is one really bad storm and half the field is gone. This isn’t including cost for for expenses for having hired hands
I live in Georgia and most Farmers here run Off-Road Diesel in their equipment. There is a cost difference between it and Regular Diesel. Is Off-Road Diesel available in The Northern States.
I have 89 day corn, hopefully I got it in early enough, I believe my beans are 2.0. I’ve been doing that same beans for the last 4 years, they mature early so I can plant wheat if I want to
Thanks for taking the time with this interesting content. remarkably similar process but costings in Australia higher. Most dryland farmers here make more only due to big acreages and a high world demand for high protein hard finish grains. Same jokes here; how do you spend a lottery win? Go farming! From Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Man I’m at least 4 videos behind. The weather finally broke here in Ohio but now everything is in. Time for some Barn and Grill! Good luck everyone. Hopefully your breakdowns are few!
I farm with a lot of older equipment also , it get the job done. Most of the locals have a case of shiny fever every year after harvest. My combine is 35 years old and gets the job done ,just as well a new one , just without the payments. Everyone else at the grain co. has their semis and I just roll in with my old 2.5 ton trucks. The big difference I show a lot bigger profit then them.
My Massey and red equipment are about 20 years older than yours and a lot smaller, and not as many acres. I do it just because I can and it is so peaceful listening to the tractor and equipment doing it's thing. I plant corn and harvest it with a 1 row picker. It is all very satisfying.
Right on! I can appreciate that!
I always tell myself if i ever win the lottery im going to farm with old small equipment and then farm till im broke
Just farm till the moneys gone 😉😂
That's just it if you don't go into debt you don't go broke
A farmer made it as a millionaire. He inherited a lot of money... Starting as a billionaire. When asked if he regretted it...: 'Well if there's any money left when I die... I regret haven't paid more attention to math..."
It doesn’t take long to go broke farming, you’ll always have breakdowns, and break downs are expensive, but I love it .
That’s a great insight of what returns you could get. First time I’ve seen a RUclipsr giving a honest expectation of what he can hope for. Enjoying the various contents. 👍
I appreciate that!

That Turd Ferguson is one good looking good sounding, good pulling tractor. Keep the vids coming. Thanks
Loved the whole show!! But best part is Fluffy!! More appearances by the cat has got my vote!!
She is the real star😆😆

Right! The tires on my 1155 were loaded and I took most of the ballast out just for that reason!
Enjoyed watching the old Iron getting it done. Those engines put out a great sound. Beats the hell out of all the plastic and high tech junk out there today.
Right on!
Great video, most hobby’s cost money you make a little and have a ton of fun 💪 better than a beach vacation in my book 😉

Loved the video. Watching from Australia and it’s pretty rare to see people using cool tractors like these over here
Right on! 😉
Nice J.T
Keep on going!!💪💪
Beautiful shots.
Greetings from the Neterlands.
Marc🤠
Greetings! Thanks!
Awesome video,I’m always tuning in to see what Joe’s up to…...Have a great holiday weekend bud..
Thanks! You too!
Thanks for the ride-along, JT!
Thank goodness you don't have pet horses to feed. Lol.
You got that right!
I really like this channel. I love seeing the big old Massey's out working. Those big girls were never sold her in New Zealand. There are a small handful of the 1100 series around but no pivot steers. We tend to get our tractor from Europe

On the farm I grew up on our 1155 was THE BIG TRACTOR! I loved that tractor and I drove by 3days ago and she just sits on the hill😢. Love your videos brother keep up the awesomeness
Thank you!
Im a day late watching the video. I really did enjoy it.i love to see the older equipment working.
Right on!
I farmed with my father through about 1983 then I decided to do what I thought was bigger and better things. I was a salesman then a manager and ended up in law enforcement. But how I wish I would have stayed farming.
Dad was a welder and worked the afternoon shift and farmed on the side. The tractors I remember was all Massey Fergusion. He bought a new 165 diesel , then got more land traded the 165 for a new 175 diesel.

Right on! I’d sure love to find a 2745 myself, ahead of its time. I appreciate it!
Thanks for another excellent video. I really liked the financial breakdown, gave me even more appreciation for farmers. Keep it up man.
Thanks, will do!
I loved your breakdown at the end. My dad's favorite saying was farming was just a hobby, and we had 2000 acres. You just proved the point. I wish the average person in the grocery store actually knew what it takes to stock those shelves.
Right on! Most people think we just make money hand over fist, and what’s even better is soybeans are 2$ a bushel less than this spring when I made this video
This is a fantastic video. It's so much fun to see your fine machines in use. I live in Sweden and we have many MFs here as well. However, our older machines here are a little smaller than yours and of course adapted for Europe. You have a really fun and interesting channel. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much!
Loved it! Gotta live through you since it's been a number of years since I have farmed. Miss it very much.
Right on! I’ll be happy to keep this going!😉
Great insight into the real costs of farming.
Thanks!
Awesome sir thanks for taking us along, it’s to wet to do anything here so the next best thing is watching JT get-R-done
Right on!
Loved the cost analysis
Thanks!
Ya I have to say, it's more of a way of life. 😅 Thanks for Sharing, and Fluffy is always ready to help you with the Show. 😊
She’s a star 😆
JT,
Very nice. I hope your 2024 crop is great. Thanks, Boe
I hope so too! Thanks!
J.T, really good work for you, enjoy your video, keep it coming. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you! Will do!
Good job. Thanks for explaining and showing start to finish. I don't think any farmer does it just for the money. I know i don't. Hope your crop is better than expected. More time to combine and more trips to the elevator but those are the kind of problems we all like.
Well said! Wouldn’t hurt my feelings!
I love seeing these awesome Massey equipment great video
Thank you!
That was a great video. I'm glad you showed the cost and reward (possibly) of it. Hopefully it will wake some people up!
I hope so too!
Cracking video there JT thanks for breakdown fingers crossed for you for a great growing season 👏👏👍👍
Fingers crossed!
Awesome stuff JT. Now I want a tractor beer. 😎
You should!😆😆
@@jtsbarnngrill6873oh, and you are the coolest guy in the parking lot. 😂
Great video JT, as long as you having fun, and enjoying a good hobby, and getting to ride around on sweet rides, the money is just a bonus, have fun 👍🏻
Well said!
Diesel in New Brunswick,Canada today is $ 7.90 per gal or $1.73.8 a liter
Ouch!
That 1165 Massey Ferguson it's just a gorgeous tractor don't know why I like that one more than any of the other ones but that is my favorite might have something to do with the sound too
I agree with you 😉
Another great vid jt , thanks for taking us along on the journey 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Love these vids sir!!! Thank you for the cost breakdown at the end!!! very informative!
Thanks!
Thanks for the rundown...!!!
You bet!
Hey Joe,,,thanks for the ride along. The gunslinger is a frigging stud. Converting me from IH to MF one video at a time.
😆.
Do you add surfactant to the spray? Can't wait to see your crop grow. Fun to watch your channel and then compare to Mike Mitchell.
I like Mike! He has a couple old masseys in his fleet too!
We run Massey and it got the job done just as good as the Deere and Case
Right on!
Well from a video stand point Awesome. As from start to finish. Id like to have seen your 1105 plowing. Nothing better than a tractor working and the smell of freshly plowed soil. Have a great day.
Thanks!
Wonderful JT I watched the whole video while peeling potatoes but lord I thought you made more money on that 32 acres anyway I enjoyed the heck outta this thanks for letting us in on this, very good entertainment for me my friend, just be careful out there I know you do but never hurts to say, see you on the next one.
Thank you!
Never in doubt that your machine’s would get the job done and you don’t have high machine costs too factor in to your costs win win👍👍
Bingo!
You finally cleaned all the dashboards, I'm shocked. 😆 Check out junkyard digs from 2 years ago they found a 1st or 2nd gen Hagie that you should be aware of because it would be neato to have one at the right price.
I’ve seen that one! I watch Kevin and Angus religiously lol. I’d love an old hagie, but I’d need a cab on it lol
A great video form a dairy farmer in New Zealand
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Stuff JT ! .....Ty for the ride along.......took me back to along time ago....
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're sprayer that you've got hooked up to the 1105 looks just like the one my dad had on our farm. We also had Massey Ferguson's on our farm we had a 180 and an 1130.
Both great tractors.
Right on!
Old is gold 👍👍
Nailed it! 😉
Nice explanations. For my opinion you need to add the cost of your equipment maintenance, like paint for restoration for example. And the cost of your new barn.
Keep it up ! I Love the 1800 restoration 😁
Great point!
Standing behind disc. Left, rear, disc gang wing is riding out a bit? Not locked down?
It isn’t great. The keway is about shot, welded some metal in there and didn’t help
Really cool financial breakdown at the end !I'm vested now I hope it does triple the 28 bushel for ya ! 😂 I have 80 tillable acres of family land in New England were trying to decide a good crop to do on soon . Right now it's sod but that takes a layer of loam off every cutting and next thing you know its down to gravel
Right on! I’d be totally happy if it brings 40!
I really love runnin them old tractors buddy
Right on!
Nice one j.t as normal. It took back to far . But I did enjoy the video though it was really good. Only thing I see .but I can't really say anything because it's your kit . But to looked like the front row of discs could go little more sweated back. But it could be the way it looked on video. Please don't take the wrong way. You no what you are doing just the way it looked on video that's all. Glad you got done that's main thing.
Right on! That old disk has about had it. I need to upgrade, there isn’t much left to weld to 😆

Great video and explanation. Now I’m off to plant beans with my 6080 Allis and modified 7000 planter with brush meters. Old but does the job with good results. Thx
Right on!
I wish you lived closer to me I have two Massey Ferguson 7 tractor with m o w e r decks that I'm going to be looking to get rid of I would love to see you have them
Nice! Too bad I’m not closer!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 yeah I know I'd love to have you have them I just don't have time for them right now I'm working on a bigger tractors like you
JT, u know how to work ur acres of land is amazing.. didn't know how much it cost to plant some acres of land. $1,400- beer/lunch/food for Fluffy/ect..
That’s almost enough to keep fluffy in her extravagant lifestyle 😂
Pretty cool watching the rain caps at idle on the 1155.
I’ve always liked that about it too
Great video, I always wondered how much money was in farming. I’m assuming this isn’t what you do full time, so what do you do for work? Could be a good topic for a Sunday video.
I’m In crop insurance
Summer Shandy is the best after putting in work! You’ve got good taste sir!
Thanks! Just discovered that stuff last weekend lol
cant decide which one I like better the 1105 or 1155, both have the cool factor for sure!
I hear that! I like them both equally!
Great Video and here is hoping for 40bu/ac beans and good prices. The 1155 looks like it was just at idle, I bet it didn't even know it was pulling that drill.
It didn’t! Had it set at about 1200 rpm in high 2nd. Just purred along all day!
Great video and you're pretty accurate on your cost. Just think if you had a big new tractor and equipment you'd be losing money doing that field for sure.
Totally agree!
Nothing better than a wheat beer with a hint of citrus when it gets warmer out.
Right on 😉
I want one of those 1605's but I only have 100 acres and I let a friend farm it....but that isn't the way it will always be....
Right!
Uptown with that block to run your hydraulics for the sprayer. I use a tarp strap. 👍. Might be an upgrade in my future.
Right! Works best that way I can just slam the lever without going too far!
Field worked up great!!
Thanks! It really came a long way
Thanks JT. Very informative
Any time!
I appreciate all the time you put in to making this video and I founded very educational thank you kindly 👍😊
Thanks!
Enjoyed this video lots of fun to watch.
Thanks!
When harrowing the ground do you ever fill that big tank with ammonium nitrate. Then one step could be deleted on field passes.
I never do. I have to hit it with the sprayer anyway so it just sits lol
Great video love the massies drove Massey all my life
Same here!
Can you do the same kind of video with the other feild if your planting corn in it would be cool to see the brake down at the end with corn prices and income as well.
Great idea! I may have to do that
You are the glory brother,,,,you are the glory. If you could make an ass ton of money, everyone would do it. Yer having fun,,priceless.
Bingo!
Excellent video JT :) also my one grandfather plus uncle even my dad used say we all play smart and be wise also learning from we do daily! On farm it up & down like play a game but try keeping going strong too and enjoy lots more! Yes it lots hard work be farmer JT and not easy but fun challenging too!
Right on!
love the big massey's just me but i know it will look good with dual curved pipes and rid of the clanky clank noise great vids
Thanks 👍
What ppl don’t understand is this is all estimates. I seen around my area where all it takes is one really bad storm and half the field is gone. This isn’t including cost for for expenses for having hired hands
True about the hired hands. These were all exact costs for my input within a few bucks.
Great video and interesting to see the numbers.
If i may ask, do you have a job besides doing farming??
I am in crop insurance
Enjoyed the video JT
Thanks!
I live in Georgia and most Farmers here run Off-Road Diesel in their equipment. There is a cost difference between it and Regular Diesel. Is Off-Road Diesel available in The Northern States.
That is what I’ve been running. Usually it’s 50-75 cents cheaper than tegular
Thanks my friend
Always welcome!
Excellent 👍👍
Thank you 👍
What group beans do you plant in your area? How many day corn? Just curious what kind of growing season you have...
I have 89 day corn, hopefully I got it in early enough, I believe my beans are 2.0. I’ve been doing that same beans for the last 4 years, they mature early so I can plant wheat if I want to
Really enjoying your content JT
Thanks! I appreciate it!
@@jtsbarnngrill6873 watching from Ireland JT, world is a small place but its nice to see how we farm in similar and different ways... keep it up!
Glad you got crop insuance most importion expence good luck its all in a season😊
Right on! Wouldn’t go without it!
Thanks for taking the time with this interesting content. remarkably similar process but costings in Australia higher. Most dryland farmers here make more only due to big acreages and a high world demand for high protein hard finish grains. Same jokes here; how do you spend a lottery win? Go farming! From Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Right on! Thanks!
Lineys and farm work..... I would love to be out there working it
Right on 😉
Operating expenses are still cheaper than what it would cost for the VP Racing gal 😂😂
Ha! That’s for sure 😆😆
Great video as always! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Man I’m at least 4 videos behind. The weather finally broke here in Ohio but now everything is in. Time for some Barn and Grill! Good luck everyone. Hopefully your breakdowns are few!
Right on! Thanks!
Are you sure that’s enough power to pull that drill?
Nice job 👍👍
Just barely 😆😆
Great video JT
Thanks 👍
I farm with a lot of older equipment also , it get the job done. Most of the locals have a case of shiny fever every year after harvest. My combine is 35 years old and gets the job done ,just as well a new one , just without the payments. Everyone else at the grain co. has their semis and I just roll in with my old 2.5 ton trucks. The big difference I show a lot bigger profit then them.
Right on! Agree! My equipment doesn’t owe me anything
How much is the fun factor worth? Thanks for sharing.😃
Fun factor is good for 3-4 hundred an hour 😆😆
Buying good land it would take 10yr to turn a profit depending if you already had the equipment just guessing I’m sure I’m wrong
It might take more than that
