    The Doe was designed/dreamed up by George Pryor, a farmer from Essex...Ernest Doe & Sons was and still is an agricultural dealer who refined the idea & built it...when Ford started building it's own 4x4 tractors it kinda killed the Doe!

    First Ford (Doe) I've seen. Others out there (farmer builds) are two side by side Farmall Hs and another AC WDs, linear like this Farmall Ms or Hs. Might be a Farmall cub side by side pair out there. RUclips videos on the Farmall Hs side by side. Related in fun factor" AC B, AC WD, and Farmall H with engine swaps for Harbor Freight Predator Engines (8 and 12HP). They are out brush hogging, raking, and more activities.

      They did for awhile. The A-C dealer who used to be in Quakertown, PA (CJ Wonsidler Bros.) had an ED-40 they used to maintain the property. Allis imported some for a few years before the Renault-built 160 came about. That one is the only ED-40 I've ever seen. I don't know where it went after the family liquidated at auction what was left after Charlie and Jett had both passed.

    Have you met the guy who has “Harry’s Farm” and Harry’s Garage” on RUclips. He’s also in England.
    In 1978 my parents and I went on a Successful Farming European tour. First stop was England. I was 11 years old. I’ve been to Australia in 85, 4 months,, 99, 13 days, and 02, 8 weeks. Most of it on my late dad’s farm. I adapted to driving on the left fairly well. My first girlfriend i met on an Outback Bus tour to Alice Springs and back in 1985. Really nice mellow gal. After fooling around like teenagers we discovered that the relationship had no spark. One stop was to Ayer’s Rock which we climbed. She and I were the last of our group to go up and a rain shower came out of nowhere and got us wet after reaching the top. It was windy and the rock got slippery. I got pictures and the rock looked like velvet. I need to find those pictures.

      Do you live in his area? Maybe his corns wet. Maybe it’s raining? He also has a wife who farms. A son n nephews who work for him. His last video time was combining. So I think he’ll be perfectly fine…. Plus his bin is full of soybeans so can’t really have much room for storage for corn. Even when he said he’s only there for 2 days

    • @onelonleyfarmer
      @onelonleyfarmer  Месяц назад +7

      well to be quite honest with you it was a hard choice to do.. I left Friday night after delivering soybeans to the port among other jobs that I had completed. I was back Monday morning 2:30 AM and in the truck at 7 am to deliver 2 more loads of soybeans. my bin is full the remainder of the beans that are not cut where too wet to cut at that time. the corn is 24 moisture and I have no place to put it so im not paying ungodly amounts to dry it and im not giving it away to the mill to dry so I decided to give the boys the weekend off and enjoy two days... my wife planted 45 acres of wheat on Saturday and on Sunday she completed an embroidery job for a local grocery store. not that this is any of your business and I do not care what you think of me taking two days to see a couple of friends. if we had rain for a day we wouldn't have been able to do anything for 3-4 days if we had a breakdown that would take days to get going but because I took a trip for 2 days you feel I was stupid and did some shit wrong. well I guess it sucks to be you! we have been going hard all summer long. I took a day to go to a farm show... I took a night to go camping with the family but made it home to work the rest of the day. I work every weekend and holiday including my birthday and you complain I took two days to go and see some friends. please unsubscribe from my Channel if you think im lazy and irresponsible. oh and P.S. go fuck yourself!

I did this trip for just over $1000.00 dollars I used my RUclips money to do this. I will make that much back on the videos I make from this trip and other footage I did. plus I have the memories that you nor anyone else can take away from me. farming sucks right now and yes there is no money to be made in it at the moment. that's why I have different income streams that I keep separate. for ME and my family to have some sort of a life outside the farm. its not much but I do try so very hard and cunts like you try to bring me and others down for it.
