Yes sir same here I'm 60, dad had a Massey 30..I have a 48 8n I use as a 4 wheeler around the cabin.

bought a 9n for my 4 acres of veggies and snow removal back in november after a complete overhaul done with basic tools it does 8hrs a day no issues with a 7ft blade on the back scrapin snow for the county

No problem 😁

Yeah it’s definitely a nostalgic feeling. 😁

👏 awesome! 8ns are great, keep ‘em running!

That’s awesome 👏 the 8n is so versatile! I picked up a 2 bottom plow at an auction, hoping to use it this summer! Think it has enough power for a 2 bottom?

@@SteddieProjects yes, that's what I used.. plenty of power

Awesome 👏 Thanks for watching!

I like the farmall m. I have an Oliver 88 row crop I’m trying to resurrect slowly, after sitting for 20 years. If I can get it going I’ll post more videos on it. I think that will bale with no problems.

Yeah thick stuff last year was a little rough on it. But this years first cutting was not bad. Not much there to get tangled 😂

Yeah, just take your time and enjoy the process, if your in a rush the 8ns will struggle. But they can definitely do it! Best wishes!

When I was a kid growing up my dad and uncle cut hay with an old tri frame John deer and we rakejwd with 8N then baled with that old Jon deer trip frame. Used both tractors to pull trailers to haul hay from field to barn

Lol! It is funny how that works! But I love all the old equipment, it keeps every job interesting. Thanks

15-40 in mine, 40psi cold then 20once it gets hot 90f+ weather

I picked up old beat wagons at a auction end of the year last year. Good running gears I have to rebuild the beds though. Summer gets so busy, hopefully I can fit it in before second cutting. 😁 thanks for watching.!

Interesting, that’s good to know. Thanks

Lol! Oh man I would love that! Of course I’d probably buy old junk anyways, just lots of it😂

Glittering prizes use that cheat Warcraft 2 lol

You can if your KZfaq channel is big enough 😂

I like that….. I sometimes run a little bit of mix gas in the lawnmowers, real diluted, doesn’t seem to hurt at all.

Yeah it’s tricky with the 8n to get everything just right. Thanks for watching😁

Nice 👍 thanks for the info, I think I need to change the hydraulics oil before next summer.

Ok awesome 👍 thanks for the tip, that stuff is hard to find.

Hey put it to work! Grab a 1 or 2 bottom plow and make a make a garden. Drive it to the gas station to fill it up. If it’s something you enjoy put it to work. Put a hitch on and and move campers boats trailers etc. Keeping it moving is the best way to keep it alive. It can always be repainted. 😉 thanks for watching. 😁

Yeah I see that hitch. That’s a good way to get stuff home.👍 Like a little road train 😂

That’s a good idea, I just ordered one and I’ll try to install on the next 8n video I make. Thanks for watching 😁

@@SteddieProjects Thank you for the videos enjoy every minute of them

Oh that’s cool, I didn’t know that. I’ll have to try that.

New is nice. Sometimes that’s best but if you can make the old ones go, I say run em’!

@@SteddieProjects Personally, I agree. I definitely snickered to myself as they learned that new equipment also needs maintenance. 🤣 Additionally, apparently on their fancy new tractor, they have to remove a short rubber oil hose to change the oil. The factory says to replace that hose every oil change. They asked my advice. I simply told them, if the factory recommends it, they should probably do it. The other option is risk the hose failing while the tractor is in use. I said it's their choice if they want to risk that. One thing I do like, however, is the new tractor comes with ROPS from the factory. The primary driver was so reckless on that poor 8N that I was looking for ROPS systems for him to put on it. I saw him lift a rear tire on more than one occasion.

😂 lol! Yeah pride comes before a crash I guess, looking forward to next year with the new more powerful Oliver 88 row crop for baling.

I wasn’t to sure either but with the right setup anything is possible. 😁

I got mine at advanced auto. 👍

Thanks

Yeah I saw some of those JD mowers at the auction, nice mowers. I like the TO30’s also. If you do restore send some pics that would be an awesome project. It’s nice your keeping the old equipment going. Thanks 😁

If you're going to be using it regularly a restoration would be pointless! A good repair will be plenty! Most people don't know what a restoration is though. They do a couple repairs, slap some paint on it and call it a restoration. That isn't even close to a restoration!!! 🙄

That’s good, I need to do an oil change and was planning on using that oil, so I feel better after hearing from everyone.

@@SteddieProjects E10 is not oil it is 10percent alcohol in gas the same thing you run in your car Clear gas is to expensive except yo have to run it in older chainsaws I ran premium E10 in my Farmall cub ever since it came out No problems

That’s a good idea, you’ll probably keep your fingers a lot longer 😂

I was quite surprised about the bailing part personally. The rake tines do really well in a nice flat field when it’s adjusted right, but I did some baling in another field that was uneven, and lost probably 4 or 5. So I’ll have to think about a solution for that field.

​@@SteddieProjectseven in flat field a rake tines can end in a way where it can end up in a tire .. I ben farming over 40 yrs and I had many flat tires because of rake tines..

Yeah these ones are pretty easy to swap out, I don’t have a hay bob, but I did pickup a Grimm Tedder recently. We’ll see how tine replacement goes on that machine.

I like that👍 I have a gas powered leaf blower I use sometimes.

I’ve been covered several times with those new nozzles 😂 can’t really be that much safer.

That’ll scar you for life 😱 good advice. 👍

It shouldn’t, but it sure makes me feel better lol 😂

You know I don’t like telling people what to do everyone should do what they think is best. Having said that I was happy to see you putting 30 weight oil in the old girl especially pulling the baler the thicker the oil the less blow by the engine will have. I actually put 40 weight oil in my 8N and I even put one litre of lucus oil additive but that’s because when it’s hot I only have 9 psi of oil pressure but it is a 48 so it has the smaller oil pump, you have an upgraded oil pump so you won’t need to keep it thick like mine but even on my side distributors if they have a little blow by I give them a 400 ml stp oil treatment. But if you are running yours in the winter depending on how cold it gets where you’re at it’s good to get the oil warm before you try to start it. I am in Headingley Canada so it can get down to -45 Celsius sometimes so if I need to blow snow I have a magnetic heater on the oil pan and a lower radiator hose heater and a block heater and then it starts but you are the first person I have seen on KZfaq oiling the generator and distributor good for you a little maintenance goes a long way!!! And it’s good that you removed that rusty part before it fell off and it went through your mower or rake or baler next year! Keep that old iron running and God bless you and your family!

What’s a super debt? It sounds bad 😂

I would guess that field is about 2 to 3 acres

@@SteddieProjects you got allot of hay off it then

Yeah this year first cutting was thin. We got 15 bales😂 hopefully second cutting is better

New Holland super hayliner 69

@@SteddieProjects thank you sir!

I believe that field is 2 or 3 acres not sure

Was the PTO off then? There’s a small switch under the seat to shutoff

Because comfort is king 😂 gotta get let those piggy’s breathe in the summer 😂

It might do better that way, less clogging

Yeah, boots definitely a smart idea. 💡

I didn’t have a Tedder at the time we filmed, But the weather was great this summer, and the hay dried extremely fast, 😅 thank goodness! I was able to find an old Grimm Tedder this fall so that should help next year. 👍 Yeah, it’s definitely tricky to film all by yourself while cutting and baling with an antique tractor😂 someday I’ll get it figured out. 😂 thanks for watching!

It's hard to film and operate a open cab tractor lol

Maybe your volume was off or low when he mentioned this in the video or something... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
