Everyone should start out in an old under powered over loaded grain truck. Makes you appreciate what it takes to hears a truck down the road
the good old days been driver for 43 years st truck was 1974 brockway , now sit watch you all thank for all the show my name is Lucky Edmonds live in Candler NC
Outstanding listening to Dougo and the look on your faces when he went up the driveway grabbing gears was priceless!
And watching the 3 of you working together is always a hoot.
I watch both your channels but I think that is so cool that Zack is going to use your tree. Spade. Watching his channel. I thought the same thing. We'll go use Larson's truck to move his trees and loa behold yes. . Awesome!
After all the storms you guys got n damage, hope u have a gd harvest. Love from northern bc Canada 🇨🇦
I really love when Dougo shares his memories with you Chet.... he's got some great stories and has the best delivery with them. Somehow...I think one of you needs to write a series of childrens book using the stories Dougo tells of life growing up on the farm, maybe call them the "Growing Up On The Farm With Dougo" or "Life On The Farm With Dougo and Friends"
Around 1953 in Graceville, I was a city kid but Uncle Harry was farming. He used a Ford tractor and had a 3/4 Dodge with built up sides and door at the tail so when he took the grain to the elevator they could dump it by the by raising the front wheels. I often wonder how my Grandfather Costello farmed in the 20’s and the 30’s.
That grain truck will bring good money. Get with one of your auctioneer buddies. That’s an old IH 4070. Lots of freight companies used the cab design. Those poor old drivers earned every dime they made. Those little 250’s were tuff. I had one in a road grader and it was dependable and bulletproof. Somebody would love to have that old truck.
Keep the truck Dougo because the regrets later will never end.
Big Red should be a parade truck with the straight pipe of course
Never look into the light.......unless you're in a tunnel! Watched Hartung family farms, Ron did not film, but he gave a big thumbs up for all Larsen crew, and the super farm!
i say you keep the old girl dougo loves it i like seeing it run( we had a gmc cab over ) great trucks
Awesome video listening to Dougo’s memories. It’s a great example of how successful people have a long trail to get to where they are today.
I have an old 74 ford tandem axle (one of them drag) with a 390 ( I think) with air beaks that I haul cattle feed in. I can put about 14 tons of cattle feed in the truck. Second trip to town I ran out of gas. Gauge does not work. But I thought I could make it to town and back at least twice on a tank of fuel. It's only 45 miles round trip. The ole ford will tote a load if you can afford the gas to make her go. Another good one. God Bless.
Our first "big" truck was a 67 Ford C850 with a 534 gas and 5 sp with 2 sp axle, with a tag axle, bought in about 1974. It would haul about 550 bu and with all that weight on the front axle it was pretty much impossible to turn the wheel when stopped. I hauled waxy corn from western Indiana to National Starch in Indianapolis and after 2 loads a day I was sore and tired and the truck needed both 60 gallon tanks filled. It would run 65 on the interstate but you had to keep a lot of room in front to get slowed down. Hot in the summer, cold in the winter, big move up from that to a GMC Astro with 290 Cummins.
BiG ReD is ONE BADASS MAMAJAMA
You four are hilarious!
Love to hear Doug’s stories 👍🏻
My first truck driving experience on the farm at age 12 was a 1970 Ford C700 cab over that was made into a tandem axle dump truck. Boss' advice "Crowd the side you can see"
Where the good old days that good or do we just love the memories of it to me it seems like a a better way of life back then less pressure and feeling more free but maybe not remembering everything right
Big Red is a BEAST!
Big Red is such a sweet rig!!!
I had a new XL bike like that in high school. At least til I wrapped it around a telephone pole off the highway.
*Ah Memories*
Love seeing you guys working together! Keep the vids coming!
That cabover is my favorite.
One of the best engines right there
We have an old Volvo f12 like big red
3 million kilometres on her from 1977
Front suspension is shot so it sorta dives into the corners like dougo was explaining
Shes a 12lt turbo deisel making 400hp
Used to pull a 40ft trailer but in ridgid config she'll light up the tyres round the corners on the farm
Also got an f16, she's a new one woth only 1 million km, from 1992 that used to pull 2 trailers rated to 130t (290'000 lbs)
Recently upgraded to a brand new FH16
700hp amd the same 130t rating
You guys should pull the tree spade off that truck with the 3406 Cat and put a 5th wheel on it. That would make a nice reliable back up truck for any thing.
Cool video. Your old truck with the different cab was made the year I finished high school Now I do feel old lol
you guys Rock love the history lesson Dugo
Keep big red! 💪👍🏼
Cracker box cab yeah I know it’s a GMC thing but I think it applies to this IH, well if you know you know.
You need to get the milwaukee power broom with the rubber paddles and keep the guard off to sweep out grain bins
Chet would be cool to see old red added to the grain hauling fleet.
Really cool trucks. Thanks for sharing
Never fear, Dougo’s here!!! 😂
Always fun 👍😀❤️❤️
They call the wood boards between the box and frame, " sleeper rails"
Thanks for the story Dougo. I don’t know if everybody does but I do enjoy to hear the stories of how far the farm has come. What it took to get to where it’s at now. I’m glad the boy listens to it and I can tell he truly respects the work that got put into it. I can tell that he appreciates you and the equipment that made it possible.Look forward to the next one always. Y’all stay safe out there.
I love harvest time because around where I live (upstate central NY) all the farmers break out the ole flat nose trucks and true farm haulers from yesteryear. They get the job done and they for sure let ya know they are the boss of the road with the “custom” exhausts.
the #1 fastest way to have an annoyed wife is to buy her a vacuum cleaner as a "present" .... dont ask me how i know this 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Chet you're correct, it is a snout,
a snoot is an uppity person.
That was great guys lovers it
More.
We have seen that Spade truck on RUclips before for you and the Big Swede were using it at dogo's when you were tearing up his house years ago.
Love the memories thanks Duog
I would love to watch a video about the history of the farm and how it got to be. My favorite part of these videos is listening to stories of how it used to be done from Doug.
Dugo should splurge and get a couple of Makita Robot vaccums.
I need to use that tree truck in Mississippi
Gotta keep big red (Death Star)
I started my driving career in international 4070B cab over quite an experience,so I know how you
Never fear when Dougo’s near 😜
We definitely need to have a weekly story time with Dougo
Great vid
Yeah, that gifting a vacuum doesn't go over real well guys... ask my ex !
Love the vids
I'll tell you what will make you want to jump cause you could swear it's going over is the like a mid 70s Ford cab over with an air ride cab first time I took a corner I got the worst case of pucker factor I didn't think I could ever get off the seat
My Grand Father owned an implement business in Hancock His name was Ben Mickelson wondering if u might have done business with him?
Those fans are awesome.
luv duggo.
Be a good truck for south sask farmer
I enjoy the story time… but I think I speak for most of us we need to straight pipe big red again and send it… it’s not like it gets used all the time
Best episode ever
Chet do you have poly on hopper bottom slopes too works great 👍
Team Dougo!!
My buddy is interested in buying the fill auger
Larry, Moe, and Curly on the job.Did you work on the combines AFTER Ron left?
BIG RED MUST STAY
Had a 73 ih cab over. Junk from day one
Doug made a comment about all the money the driver made. Well I started at .05 cents per mile and by 1974 was up to .08 cents per mile.
May west must be the reason for paper straws at mic dicks and so on, they get all the surplus plastic so straws cannot be made any longer lol.
Its UHMW poly.
breaking out the moth ball fleet looks like.
So duggo you would have been a senor in high school or already out??
Love big red‼️ Cornbinders forever ‼️ Thirteen letter shit spreaders forever ‼️Nothin finer than a Corn Field Cadillac ‼️‼️‼️
That must make me a collector and vintage because I am the same model 🙄
I want that truck
I wouldn’t sell that cab over tbh
I was born in '65. No luxury items I'm sure.
I was born in 65 and I don't feel like a relic...age ain't nothin but a number. Big Red should have had a glow plug to heat up before you tried to start the engine.
In the 70's I drove a truck like that to pick up dead stock for a Rendering plant.
Hi chet dougo bs brody from frogjump tn I sure like you youtube is your black beans ready .
Cab-o-ver! Cab-o-ver!
Sexy red truck Dougo
Chet and Doug I started my truck driving career in a1967 cabover international 250 Cummins. And drove it to California and back many times and all over the Midwest and to the east coast. No power steering, hard suspension and CB more goodies.
I would love to see a sit down story time with dougo and Merlin
Trucks with no electronics and no government juice , what a deal. CAT 3406B was the best motor they ever made.
When you talk about the old times it sure brings back memories I am almost 80 farmed all my life thankss
I could sit down all day and listen to older farmers talk about the old days growing up as compared to today. Love the story Dougo.
and Dougo isn't really very old
Trust me when I say this but keep that truck, don’t ever sell it, my grandparents ran into financial trouble years back and they had to sell everything to save the farm, and watching how my grandpa looked when his equipment left the yard it’s crushed a small part of him and he wasn’t the same, but when he drove into the yard and he seen one of same tractors and truck back on the farm I’ve never seen him smile so big, trust me and keep it and take it out for a couple trips to the field to remind you what your dad and grandpa went through so you can have the luxury of the trucks you do now
@Burt it better not be on marketplace!
Sure enough it is $8500 😕
@@Bobby-cm7vu it's still on marketplace
That b model cat is hard to beat. It will pull like a team of horses all day long. Its probably a 425 hp.
You are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. Cherish that!!!
I was 8 or 9 went to town with my dad and I was surprised he bought a new tractor and a 9' brush cutter he said it was moms anniversary present I really told him I'm going to my uncles house because I didn't want to be around lol, but if you asked her what her favorite present ever it was always that ford 3000 and mower . True story!
Be careful asking about favorite moments/memories in those old trucks, you might learn about your conception
My dad always said he shouldnt have had those 5 beers and 5 minutes of regret
Love the old trucks, glad you got them out of hibernation.
Started driving a '68 GMC with a 401 big block V6, 5+2 speed, hydraulic tag axle, 22' box, & no power steering at 14. Had to wait until I was 16 before I could haul to town. If one could run the stop sign it'd get up to 50 loaded after 2 miles. If one had to stop best one could do was 42.
Doug the kids today have it much better than you did
Hi chet back in the 80's we had six cabovers that we had stretched and had 20ft grain box and a omaha standard hoist three of them were internationals and three were GMC Astros they all had 8v71t Detroit and 13 speed transmissions we ran them until the late 90s before we started running semi tractors and grain trailers so I know exactly what your dad's talking about if those old trucks could talk what stories they could tell.
It's good to see that not all big farms are selling the older equipment
Just saw it on FB marketplace... 😅
Toby seems like a sweet little dude as long as you're not a kitty.
Such a sweet truck. I think you guys should keep it, throw a 5" straight pipe on it (those old 250s are known for their bark) and maybe take it to shows. It's getting harder and harder to find in that condition. Would love to see a video of dougo arm wrestling that thing down the road 🤣
That air assist steering was terrible! Get in a tight spot where you had to go forward & backward to wiggle into it & the air pressure dropped & you couldn't steer. It was like trying to steer something with power steering with no fluid in it. Oh! A big horse 250! Quite the power house in 1965! The pinky finger problem wouldn't exist but for that huge steering wheel they put in those old trucks! The 3406B...now that's an engine!
I drove probably the first four to five years in my school bus driving career in farms at the same time by the way. But I drove what they call TC's or forward controls like that old international there, when they gave me my first conventional I said I'll never get back in the TC again. Those things that the seat right over top of the front wheels and just beat The living daylights out of you! Lol!
Let's get some more old farm gear stories from Doug-o!
