    Thank you Pete! For reminding me of my Father and how we cut our hay with an H tractor and a sickle bar mower! Brings back lots of good memories!

    Anyone who's made hay with an H knows it's one of the best hay tractors ever made. Thank you.

    I love your show. Particularly your Farmall H episodes. I was a pain in the butt kid and my parents sent me up to my maternal German grand parents who taught me to drive a Farmall H .I drove at the age of eight, while my Dad and my grandpa picked up square bales. My granddad had an operation much like yours 13 miles East of Lincoln, NE .Cattle,Hogs, chickens, and he raised hay, milo, corn, winter wheat, soy Beans and milked. My favorite memory was the slop bucket where my Grandma dumped sour milk and any thing else that spoiled.
    When it got too rank my Grand dad would haul it down to the hogs to the hog’s trawf I would love to watch them fight to gobble up all
    of the slop as if it were nectar ! Keep up the good work.!

    After hearing your description of heaven and knowing that it so closely coincides with mine, I'm looking forward to meeting you there some day..... but not very soon, hopefully! I'm a 68-year old man who can still hear and feel the sounds and sights of working at my grandfather's farm in upstate Vermont as a boy. I wasn't old enough to mow, rake or bale, but I learned to drive on Grampa's old H and spent many hours with my left foot on the axle, right foot on the draw bar, left hand on the light bar, and right hand holding the seat edge as he did his field work. I never, ever grew tired of being on that tractor with him. And I remember how he would hand-sharpen the blades on the sickle bar or replace them in his blacksmith shop, peaning the rivets when he installed the new blades.
    Thanks for the ride down memory lane.

    When I was a kid, my neighbor did all his farm work with a Super H, and a Super C wide front, with a loader. They even had a baler with a Wisconsin engine to power the mower. He also had a F-22, that they used to blow silage in the silo, using a pro pulley belt. This looks and sounds like home to me

  • @glennrpreston
    @glennrpreston 2 года назад +5

    The sounds of my childhood. We used to cut hay with a 1950 9N and sickle bar. The only thing that comes close is watching the Barn Swallows pick off the bugs flying out of the grass.

    I think your farm your family and your videos are awesome you hang on to the real strength backbone of America. You made a comment a few videos back about the kind of mechanic that you are. Mr Pete as far as I'm concerned you can hold your wrench up to any mechanic that I know plus some. You are precise attention to detail. Keep doing what you're doing you and Hillary and the kids and have a great day.

    The sound of that engine is music to my ears. My Uncle had two H's and a Super M. As a kid from the city, I loved going to the farm during the summer for a few weeks. His kids being farm kids always loved coming to spend time in the city.

    Hi Pete. I’m from Wisconsin and recently found your channel. I support local farmers. We go to the farmers market that is down town west bend. It doesn’t run all year like yours does. I’m 43 and grew up on a 10 farm set up. We had chickens, rabbits, pigs, some steers. Other farmers would rent the barn yard with their dry cows. At the end the place was cleaned up and we got a horse and boarded horses. I was Diagnosed with stage four brain cancer last year and your videos bring back a lot of good memories. Thanks.

    Brought back memories of when I was growing up on my uncle's farm. we had 300 acres and a dairy herd of about 50 milkers. I remember doing the haying with a Ford 8N. He and his children would use a Massey Harris 44 for bailing, I would use the 8N for windrowing. You remind me of those days. Love to you and your family.
