Well I’m 2 mins and 57 seconds into your video. Never seen any of your videos before but I already into it. Barefoot on an old ford tractor, stopping at a spring to get a cold drink, dirt roads, kids playing outside instead of their faces glued to a television playing video games. Good on ya folks. I like the way yer livin. 👍🏼 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I logged many years with the same tractor at first with chains for chokers then a farmie winch it’s good to see hard working folks like your selfs still using these tractors love the music and your life style thank you for making this video
I grew up on one of those little tractors, my Dad bought it in 58, It served him Faithfully for 48 years until her passed in 08. It is still in the family and still going. It is amazing to me how simple and how overbuilt those little tractors were!! You are Blessed among men to have a Wife and Family that will work with you! . God Bless and Keep you!
I had a 9N an pulled stumps and stuff, doing "wheelies" - Now I thank God almost everyday that my foot didn't slip off the clutch at the wrong time! Be Careful! God Bless! Thanks!
Yes sir, that little tractor can roll over and kill you , Great little tractor spent lots of time with them, hauling hay on steep hillside in England. Cause that’s what was left after the war, Just be careful like he says it can make your day not a good one!
Seeing this brings back memories, popping the clutch of an ol 2n to get stuff done aint nothing like it. You use what you have to get a job done and i respect that.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Hard working family. Brings back memories of when I was younger. Hard work like that makes a good man. Also love the music. It goes well with the video....
Good video. I'm glad your channel showed up in my feed. You remind me of one of my neighbors as a teenager. It's uncanny how much you resemble him. I was just waiting for the rope instead of a belt to hold up your pants. He also had a beautiful wife. She could really cook. Thank you for bringing back wonderful memories of my childhood. I also had a neighbor that had an old Ford tractor like yours, he drove it more than his car.
When you can drive a tractor like this and know it that well. You know that tractor like back of your hand and trust it! No other tool like it. Great videos
Thank you for the positive feedback. And about the music in this video. If you look in the description there is a list of all the songs that we use in this video. And you can click on any of them and it will take you straight to it. If you are not successful with this let us know and we will try something else. Thanks again
Man I was 10 years old working an old 8N just like that pulling stumps and skidding logs on my dad's place. That old tractor is still running too.. Brings back some memories.. BTW, OUTSTANDING facial ornamentation, my bearded brotha
Truly enjoyed the music, and that's a very attractive helper you have there. It must be nice to live in a place where you're not afraid to drink the spring water. It's heartbreaking to see what gets dumped into the water where I live.
Focus less on trying to appear hill country and drinking water and spend some time around those old timers whose politics and ignorant speech you can't stand. They'll have alot to teach you. Like how that big bar is a lever, and the further back the chain is hooked, the more it's going to leverage your tractor. Or that you should take some steel plate and make an angled skid, lift the log, and place it stop of it. Securing it to the log, you can either pull it or the log, with your chain affixed to the drawbar, allowing you to not only more safely and efficiently move it, but also move even larger logs. Your tractor is small and doesn't have alot of power. But it has more than enough to get most jobs done if you think a little bit about the task at hand and a better way to do it. And will be much easier on the old girl. You're new to this and excited. I get it. Just trying to give you some advice before you break it. Or yourself.
I remember my dad telling me, a matchbook was handy to have back in the points day. You could use the striker area on the matchbook to give the points a rough file, and then use the cover thickness to set the gap. He said it could work in a pinch.
The memories this brings back. Growing up in the 1980's I farmed with my grandfather, spending many hours raking hay on an 8n. I was too small and too light to push the clutch down and had to stand up pulling up on the steering wheel to push the brakes and clutch down. Learned to back a trailer on that thing... nearly killed us with that fast reverse speed. He bought new in 1954 (I think) and it's still running today. Really great farm tractor.
Thanks for sharing those good memories with us we really love to read stories like that. But we also really like it when people leave comments like this because everyone else gets to share in those good memories and experiences as well. Thanks for your comment and also thanks for your interaction
1952 was the last year for the 8n type of tractor. The Golden Jubilee (1903-1953) came out with overhead valves and live hydraulics, irritating slow reverse. Harry Ferguson from England, was married to Henry Fords daughter, and was the actual engineer that invented the 3 point lift system, that revolutionized the tractor industry.
I just had to watch this episode again, bout the 3rd time, tractor pulling was very entertaining along with music and scenery, I need a drink of spring water........
I have the same taste in music as you all. Thanks for the well balanced videos. This kind of videos takes skills. Amazing how much Arkansas mountains look like East TN mountains where I've live my whole life. 63
I really enjoyed it and love to see people who take care of their equipment. My brother and I grew up farming with an old Ford and it seemed the front end was in the air a lot and it was not unusual to see one of us riding on the hood for counter weight; not recommended but common practice in days of old.
The distributor was changed from front to side mount halfway through 1947. Please take notes from these folks warning about the dangers of pulling from a high point like that. I almost lost a friend and neighbor this year to a tractor rolled over backwards. By the grace of God it was wet and muddy so the tractor squeezed him down into the mud rather than immediately killing him. He will forever have back problems and leg problems though. We (30ish) people spent over 3 hours digging him out and raising the tractor enough to get him out. It is so much better to learn from other's bad experiences than to create your own.
That was a big day! Didn't think you were going to snatch that first log (big sucker). Persistence paid off. The beauty of a drink from a crystal clear spring. Those logs must be worth something to travel that far for them. I'm glad to see they are going to some use. This video was enjoyed by someone still on the "mouse-wheel". Bravo!
Another awesome video. I could watch them for hours. That's a funny scene with the kid in the background wielding a six shooter. Looks like a toy. You two are inspiring on every level. Thanks for sharing and for the great cinematography, music, and personality 😇.
The young lady is a bondafide "cutie." What a doll. BTW: Video was very well shot, produced and edited. Love the music and the lighting could not have been better for you!
when pulling anything heavy with any tractor you should pull from lowest point on the tractor other wise it flips and you dont have a roll over cage.dont walk along the path of danger bud just not worth it
Yea that was terribly dangerous. hundreds of old timers have been killed by flipping 8N's on top of them selves. Very impressive as far as the work the 8N did. Great video.
I'm surprised at the many negative comments. I thought it was a great video . We have 7 antique tractors and do the same type work y'all do. That Ford is a light tractor but it gets the job done!
Thank you for the positive comment. and yes exactly we agree . But apparently there are some in this world that have never seen work getting done before.
I think the comments are from people who have done their fair share of work, they are trying to help if you would only listen and learn. They are trying to keep you from killing your self, or a family member. You have to appreciate that people have experience that you do not have, and you learn things your whole life. Ask your Father or Brother for help, it will surprise you how much they know!l ask to borrow tools from neighbours but return them promptly, and if you break them fix them before you return them. Easy stuff and the best way to meet neighbours.
@@CarvingAPath well unfortunately it’s starting to be world we live in. People are scared of their own shadow and scared to try new things- to learn. What song is in this video by the way?
Great video. Enjoyed it very much. That spring and clear creek remind me of where I grew up in Central Texas. I used to fish in Clear Creek catching Bluegills and shellcrackers. Many springs where I would stop to drink cool clear spring water.
@ Carving A Path I know the log lift acts as a wheelie bar but, man you you have what I call CRAZY BALLS of STEEL. You drive that tractor as if it will never roll over on you. I wish I had your bravery with my Ford 851
Well, this video came up after I saw one of your newer ones, so I know you haven’t killed yourself in a tractor rollover for a couple of years after this one. I see comments about the dangerous operation, and a bunch of the inevitable comments scoffing about the ‘safety police’. Trust me, I wouldn’t ever willingly get my front tires off the ground, much less do such a dynamic maneuver as you did. Ford 8Ns are notoriously light in the front end for lifting weight on a boom. So I have three inexpensive suggestions. First, build and mount a box for the front and load it with 200-300 lbs of rocks when you need to use the boom. Second, get a couple of comealongs and use the tractor as your base to winch the logs up until you can just lift and pull without having to bounce. Third, make an A-frame to run your chain over just in front of the log to keep the leading edge from digging. There are ways to achieve these goals without being hard on your machine or overly risky. Tractor rollovers are the leading cause of farm deaths, and most of those operators thought they could get things done too.
Absolutely awesome video!! We recently bought a Ford 2N, thats how we found your channel. Great cinematography and love all the music! Very enjoyable, you both look very happy! Kevin and Gretchen
Just happened across y’all’s channel and want to say after watching a few vids it’s really refreshing to see a couple of hard working down to earth people doing things their own way one with nature. God bless you both, I’m a new sub and look forward to following you along on your journey.✌🏼🤟🏼🤞🏼
Amazingly beautiful lady and shots on tractors in sun ☀️ light low in the sky is always optimal lighting, I hour before dark, nice thanks y’all BigAl California.
Nice vid, nice music but you are a chancer. Never drive a tractor like that. Just takes your muddy boot to slip from the clutch when your up like that and it's all over in a split second. It's not worth it.
I remember tearing down a maple tree like ya took out the log.tough little tractors. I am still thinking about buying the patent on the Ford NAA. and reproducing them.
I just got one of these old tractors. Its in pretty rough shape. Can't use it yet. Today I'm watching videos of them getting a feel for what they can do. I hope i get someone who knows what they are doing to fix it nice video!!
You guy's do a real nice job on your videos , love the old Ford N series got myself a Massey Ferguson 165 now . turned me onto the Lost dog street band too .
I almost feel the taste of that fresh water in my mouth. When I was a child we used to go to the forest for mushrooms and spring water with my grandfather. Sadly now almost all the land is private in my area, fences and barriers everywhere.
We've still have a Ford 800 Taskmaster (son of the Ford 8N, from 1956) that I started driving when I was 3yrs old, and a Ford 601 that Dad got me when I was five... both have the side distributer. Yours has been re-painted and prettier. The Morel mushroom found at 17:40 should be tasty when soaked in salt water overnight, and slow-fried in butter ! (hope you found a dozen more) You can often find those in Elm groves during the spring, just after May-apple plants spring up.
The early Ford tractors our a symbol that represents the True meaning of the term made in America. What a special thing that you still have the tractors that you grew up with. Thanks for your comment and also thanks for your interaction we really appreciate that
Folks bought a small place on Snavley Lane, Wyoming, back in 1951. I grew up operating a Ford 8n. Finally just bought my own 8n for pasture work on our place above the Salmonriver.
Really good video with great music. When I lived in Germany, all their tractors had a seat mounted to the fender for the wives or kids to ride on. I have my Jubilee set on a wide track and I think I am going to move the fenders out and try and put a seat on one. I see you made this video three years ago. Hope you and yours are doing fine these days.
That ain’t no way to run a tractor. I would have hooked the log on the front and backed it out, pull it right out without flipping or breaking the front end of the tractor, definitely a pretty lady!
Hey guys, I spent half my growing up on Ford 8&9Ns. What amazing little machines they r. Like u I spent half of that time w the front end in the air. I was really impressed the way u handled those giant logs & the set up couldn't have been worse as that big rut was right in the "making hay section" & of course even the road was a slight uphill. Gravity has its way w all of us & everything was against you. One would think that job was impossible but w that little tractor & your experience & skill it became possible & what a big score. U really got the most out of your equipment that day. Brought back a lot of memories of my dad & me & my buddies. Not sure how utility companies can do that sort of thing. For a tree lover it's a crime. Way to go in being ready w tools & again expertise to fix your points. Love the channel. PS saw this when it came out but just got around to saying something now. I watch all the time. Is there something I can do forum guys?
Those are nice logs. We recently did the same thing with my tractor and a car trailer. We loaded that with 12 ft logs and four feet high . That sure made that tractor snort. We loaded them with the loader. I have a boom like yours and its very handy. We have set railroad ties with it and all kinds of things. That is hard work but always enjoyed getting logs out. We did find it was easier to move them in logs than cutting them on site due to time restraints. I have also put in an electronic distributor. I don't know if they make one for the 8n. my tractor started so hard was miserable with rain no rain. After I put it in it always starts. Its been outside. Best money i ever spent. Hope it helps. Thanks for the video.
We really enjoyed seeing this video, then subscribed and sort of "binge" watched some last night. Really some good video and loved the one about the chicken coop, why you built it like you did and how well it all came together. I so love watching a couple work together. So many times the lady is just "eye Candy" and doesn't really do much, not like you lady who works right alongside of you. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, older ones and new ones to come. Your property looks like a small slice of heaven. Keep safe and keep on posting videos.
15:30, that scene makes me think of the collapse of the world, and a few survivors are driving around in old tractors (which I love) getting wood for themselves for heat/cooking. Really nice!
Let’s all take a second to give that poor little trailer some props too. Holy crap.

One of the best Video on RUclips like my old 8N.
That was a big day! Didn't think you were going to snatch that first log (big sucker). Persistence paid off.
The beauty of a drink from a crystal clear spring. Those logs must be worth something to travel that far for them.
I'm glad to see they are going to some use. This video was enjoyed by someone still on the "mouse-wheel". Bravo!
Cantor hook saved my back from rolling logs around, and you are a wild one.
Another awesome video. I could watch them for hours. That's a funny scene with the kid in the background wielding a six shooter. Looks like a toy. You two are inspiring on every level. Thanks for sharing and for the great cinematography, music, and personality 😇.
Great video! You drive that Ford just like my Dad did. . Great memories of the 8N. Made me tear up

when pulling anything heavy with any tractor you should pull from lowest point on the tractor other wise it flips and you dont have a roll over cage.dont walk along the path of danger bud just not worth it
Rolloverbar yee, but pulling from lowest point would mean pulling into ground, and no pulled log in that case.

We've still have a Ford 800 Taskmaster (son of the Ford 8N, from 1956) that I started driving when I was 3yrs old, and a Ford 601 that Dad got me when I was five... both have the side distributer. Yours has been re-painted and prettier.
The Morel mushroom found at 17:40 should be tasty when soaked in salt water overnight, and slow-fried in butter ! (hope you found a dozen more) You can often find those in Elm groves during the spring, just after May-apple plants spring up.
The early Ford tractors our a symbol that represents the True meaning of the term made in America. What a special thing that you still have the tractors that you grew up with. Thanks for your comment and also thanks for your interaction we really appreciate that
Folks bought a small place on Snavley Lane, Wyoming, back in 1951. I grew up operating a Ford 8n. Finally just bought my own 8n for pasture work on our place above the Salmonriver.
Really good video with great music. When I lived in Germany, all their tractors had a seat mounted to the fender for the wives or kids to ride on. I have my Jubilee set on a wide track and I think I am going to move the fenders out and try and put a seat on one. I see you made this video three years ago. Hope you and yours are doing fine these days.
That ain’t no way to run a tractor. I would have hooked the log on the front and backed it out, pull it right out without flipping or breaking the front end of the tractor, definitely a pretty lady!
Excellent video you you’re a bad ass
Hey guys, I spent half my growing up on Ford 8&9Ns. What amazing little machines they r. Like u I spent half of that time w the front end in the air. I was really impressed the way u handled those giant logs & the set up couldn't have been worse as that big rut was right in the "making hay section" & of course even the road was a slight uphill. Gravity has its way w all of us & everything was against you. One would think that job was impossible but w that little tractor & your experience & skill it became possible & what a big score. U really got the most out of your equipment that day. Brought back a lot of memories of my dad & me & my buddies. Not sure how utility companies can do that sort of thing. For a tree lover it's a crime. Way to go in being ready w tools & again expertise to fix your points. Love the channel. PS saw this when it came out but just got around to saying something now. I watch all the time. Is there something I can do forum guys?
Hello from Winnipeg! I like all your videos ! Do you know how to identify dogwood? ....by its bark
Those are nice logs. We recently did the same thing with my tractor and a car trailer. We loaded that with 12 ft logs and four feet high . That sure made that tractor snort. We loaded them with the loader. I have a boom like yours and its very handy. We have set railroad ties with it and all kinds of things. That is hard work but always enjoyed getting logs out. We did find it was easier to move them in logs than cutting them on site due to time restraints. I have also put in an electronic distributor. I don't know if they make one for the 8n. my tractor started so hard was miserable with rain no rain. After I put it in it always starts. Its been outside. Best money i ever spent. Hope it helps. Thanks for the video.
Nice editing - cannot believe that trailer carried that load.
You aren't kidding. I'd say it was over it's rated capacity after the 1st log. Could not believe it didn't collapse!
LOVE IT.. YOU HOOKED ME, NEW SUBSCRIBER.. LOVE THE OLD 8N
Cool video
New sub when i seen that Ford Tractor and good music. 🇺🇸
Same here !
Watching this i wasnt expecting to hear Lost Dog! Nice choice of tunes
THE TREES WERE A GREAT FIND BUT THAT MUSHROOM IS A CLOSE SECOND. I AM PULLING WOOD WITH A JOHN DEERE A LOVE THAT SOUND
The ford putting in work! Didnt think it was gonna happen at first
Be careful you don’t break that front axle picking the front end up like that.
I was thinking the same thing. Got to do what you got to do but definitely not good on the axle.
Been treating mine like that for twenty years.
We really enjoyed seeing this video, then subscribed and sort of "binge" watched some last night. Really some good video and loved the one about the chicken coop, why you built it like you did and how well it all came together.
I so love watching a couple work together. So many times the lady is just "eye Candy" and doesn't really do much, not like you lady who works right alongside of you.
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos, older ones and new ones to come.
Your property looks like a small slice of heaven.
Keep safe and keep on posting videos.
I admit it I binge watch all of there videos! All the time it makes my day
15:30, that scene makes me think of the collapse of the world, and a few survivors are driving around in old tractors (which I love) getting wood for themselves for heat/cooking.
Really nice!
