So nice to see someone who doesn't mind sitting a few more hours in the seat without multiple monitors and a self steering climate controlled tractor.

Good job! For you youngsters out there: You don't need GPS to plant straight rows. Straight rows = Skill, Concentration and Pride.

Farmers just a few decades ago used small tractors to farm 100’s of acres. No cabs, air conditioning or heat, radio, gps, monitors. Just whatever the weather was doing and the song of the exhaust. Grandpa’s biggest tractor for awhile was 67hp. Plowed almost all of his ground with a 4 bottom plow.

I am 60yo.... I remember my late dad telling me about farming 50 acres with a "Super C Farmall". Of course that was a major step up from the 2 mules he had used previously. He said the fields was so long that he always had a jug of water on each end of the field. I love farming.

I didn’t know that a freshly planted field could be so beautiful!

Good Morning Tyley Another beautiful day. You always does great work for one person working by themselves. God always got your back because you a very hard worker. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day.

I grew up making my rows straight looking at Pine trees at the other end of the field and of course that was two rows at a time. I remember going to four rows and thought we were big time. Another great video my friend. Take care and have a blessed week.

I must be old I remember when we had to plant 1000 acres with a 100hp tractor.

That is one fine looking field

I think you are very smart and a jack of all trades.

good diagnostics on that engine! I dislike ethanol fuel because its very absorbent of water. Lucas Oil makes a treatment to stabilize the ethanol and its been good to my 5 gallon gas cans I have sitting around here and there. Most of my small engines usually fire up without no problem such as my wood splitter that I haven't used in 2 years. Thanks for making video about your crop planting as well. I'm gonna be doing my own field next spring and I'm buying/fixing equipment leading up to all that. Keep up good work!

I'm from southern California I've never been up north it's cool to know that there's farms out there

Your videography is on point. And the farming is remarkable

Farming and ranching takes alot of different hats that you , Farmer Tyler, wear so well. Great job getting that field planted and wearing your different hats so well. I love your calm attitude.

The ground always looks so pretty after planting. I have always loved driving by fields just planted and seeing all the neat little rows that are created. Brings back some of my most favorite memories.

So impressive how much work goes into that which so many take for granted. There is nothing magical about it just hard work and a get it done attitude.

Really good seeing you get it done with limited equipment. And a bit of knowhow! Not that long ago (the 1960s) commercial tractors only had 50HP or so - so it always amazes me why they have to be 500HP these days! - great job :)

Excellent job done! Thanks for the drone footage, it really helps me see/ understand what you are doing.🤗

Well done, Farmer Tyler! And very informative too. There were a couple of farmers on my mother’s side, in Illinois, but I never got to see them in action.

I enjoyed that, thanks. Nice to see a good old fashioned tractor pulling the implements to do the job. Hoping for a good crop.

As always another good FTR video. What is enjoyable to me, is to see the development of your skill in video and editing. It has really developed. Your posts clearly tell a visual story. Great Job FTR!!

I’m finding your videos extremely interesting! I enjoy learning a lot from you! Thank-you!

GREAT video, Ty .... Glad it was a relatively easy fix on the engine. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to harvest time.

Great video. Great explanation of the process! Bag rows=old school! I remember having to do the same, and it became a contest with my brothers as to who had the straightest rows! These days it’s all GPS and tractors that literally drive themselves! If technology ever took a hit there would be a lot of farmers that would be lost not knowing what to do without that GPS technology! Good to see old skills (and common sense) being put to use!

I started working for my Dad at 7 years old driving a Ford tractor while Mom and Dad picked up corn ears and threw them into a trailer I was pulling. They picked up these ears so us kids could have some Christmas presents. I drove Dad's IH - M tractor without a muffler pulling a Miller offset disk for the next several years. Amazing I can still hear anything. Later Dad gave me the job to harvest the wheat ground using a IH - 403 combine and the 250 bushel Ford truck. I did the whole harvest by myself, taking the wheat to the big city elevator when I was just 16, including repairing a leaking radiator on the combine. I consider myself blessed to have worked with Dad on the farm. Love you, Dad.

I didn’t know how much work came with it, You HAVE to love your job, Love you guys, and baby

A typical day on the farm, something simple holds up an entire operation. Keep the videos coming!!!

Great idea with the bags!!! I’ve always used the pick a tree in the distance and go method.

With that engine, looks like you have the same luck that I do. I’m glad to be in good company. You did a good job.

Super interesting process FTR! Thanks for explaining thing along the way for us first time ranchers! 👍👍

Thank you so much for sharing your life for all of us.

Bag rows that was pretty neat I sure enjoyed watching Tyler!

Thanks for this video, Brother. Warms my heart to see American Heritage Farmers getting the job done! You’re a Master Craftsman.

Best video to help with the knowledge of our upcoming ranch we just bought, glad to get to know how to do all of this farming to provide for our new community!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Fantastic Tyler that’s one of the best tutorial explanations for equipment and planting I’ve seen Best of luck for a great crop this coming year

Great job young man keep up the good work and be safe God bless you and your family

Thanks for another great video. Funny how those engines run better on gas than water...good catch...

Your beard is looking AWESOME, Tyler! And way to go in solving the engine problem. You are the man!

It must be so satisfying once you've finished the field to see what you've achieved. I really like watching them ploughing the fields. I'd love a go lol and the Harvester, that's my favourite. Hope the weather's good to you. Rain then Sunshine ☺☺🚜🚜🚜

Thank you so much for this video. So awesome. Love the music, love it all, so calming. While my daughter fights this respiratory failure As the doctors come and go I'll just have FTR and fam playing in a continuous loop. HAHA! 🙌 thanks again

I'm learning more and more about your tractor. My curiosity got to me so I googled the distance between Lincoln and Vacaville. You are a little over an hour away from my son.

That's a nice looking piece of land.

Thank you for showing us your work.

Cool video! Very informative and interesting. Thanks.👍🏻

Great video! Lots of work, but rewarding when you have lots of feed. You are looking very tired FT, hope you can get some down time...ahhh the life of a farmer! 👍👋🇦🇺 Greetings from Australia!

them piggies are looking great, my piggy made my freezer full lol so glad you got the work done hugsssssss

wow thank goodness you know how to fix things! nice job , take care

Great video Tyler

Good work showing the old way of working the land. Greetings from europe 👍

You done good the old fashion way,which I think is the best,good luck on your planting..

I’m so glad the fluffing and rolling was one step! Whew!

thanks for sharing love your pigs they are so cute

Straight rows, job well done. You can take pride in your work. Great video!

Good job Tyler 👍

Just came across your channel. Love it. I’m a hay farmer in WV

Great attitude young man! I farm the same way here in Alabama. I use trees at the other end of the field to line up the rows. Good luck with your crops!

Thanks for sharing what you do.

Plenty dry hopefully rains will come 👍👍🌧🌧

Great video! Amazing angle shots! Simply beautiful!! 😊

Excellent troubleshooting young man!!

Awesome,. Thank you for sharing your video awesome...

Great video tyler. Looks like some straight passes. We always just aimed for a spot on the other side of the field. First time I used gps I was confused didn't know what to do with my hands.

I need to have you come spread our fertilizer lol. It's a bit more difficult for me to spread when the grass doesn't show tracks and yet is tall enough to cover markers that you could drive over. Great job on fert, seeding, and covering! We planted ours just a couple weeks back.

A big ATTABOY for you Tyler!

Nice troubleshooting bud! Glad ya got the fert and seed in the ground. I love the bag row thing. I'll be using that in the future for sure.

Man I wished I could help I grew up on ranches when I was little really miss that life style

Man that is a beautiful piece of ground , love the new holland > I have one about that size. and I love it . wish I had a piece of ground like your place , about twenty acres would give me enough to play with , Take care hope everything works out great each year of planting . the best to you , A new subscriber''

Great problem solving. Good skills for a farmer!

I was taught when you start a hand chole engine, you set throttle to fast idle, turn over engine, as its turning, pull choke, as soon as it hits, go back to half choke and it should catch. Yeah, the water thing. All engines should be under a hood, even if its a left over garbage can cover. Hey, just found your channel, like it.

You make me want more property to farm now. Also hay equipment, but ive been wanting hay equipment for a while. I just got my hands on an old IH 37 disc harrow which ill use to cover my crop if i decide to plant this year. Righr now, its property smoothing time. My 20 acres is rough AF.

Thank you for the video

Wow, that’s a good job jobbed...you are very artistic too 😁💞

Field looks nice!

Great video Tyler. So disappointing when you are all fired up to start a project and some piece of equipment decides to not work...tough to get that same mojo started back up. Loved the camera under the tractor on the unload, and of course your tractor work and drone work at the same time! His the speed of the tractor the same for the the fertilizer and the seed?......about what is that speed? Let’s pray that we do get rain on Tuesday and Wednesday. One thing for sure, farming ain’t for sissies or the lazy. Take care and thank you for taking us along on the fall planting trip. I for one appreciate the extra efforts that go into filming and editing these...almost like have yet another job for Mr and Mrs FTR. WELL done.

Surprising solutions, but well-founded. I like it very much. A field like a table. Good job. :) :) :) Greetings to the entire FTR team.

I am a pilot and we sump our tanks before flight and look for just that phenomenon, a layer of water at the bottom. The fix is to sump until you quit getting water. Fortunately 100 LL is dyed blue to make seeing the water easier.

Praying for a good crop thanks

Farmer Tyler; your luck is like mine. It takes 3 hours of fixing other things before I can get anything done.

Awesome video ol buddy!

Your method works for me :)

Good job!

Nice job,nothing like working a field without a cab.

Like this tractor and field work video, one day a tractor bath video will be great, thanks

Hey neighbor, just found your channel. Cool vids!

Good Job ! Keep it ☝

I always just kinda eye ball my rows, just site on a tree or something at the opposite end and drive straight to it, just don’t take your eyes off it, lol, that’s a real pretty field my friend, thanks for the video

"Never wrong..." lol........Tuesday and Wednesday are rain days....that's why I nearly broke my back this weekend, prepping new fence lines, waiting for the rain to soften things up. Never did any farming like that....but I did guess the gas problem. Sorry I couldn't be there give you hand, but at least I can cheer you on with the internet.

Years ago we had markers made that fitted on the front end of the tractors They were swing markers that you swung to the center and raised the marker spring and pinned the arm for transport If using a pull type grain drill say 12 or 15 ft.wide so your arm would say 6 to 7 foot for a 12 foot drill or 7.5 to 8 foot for a 15 foot drill. The arm is designed to when you pull up on the end and back up it swings to the center line then as you turn the marker spring drags the arm around to the opposite side of the tractor.. actually the spring had a disc spool attached to the bottom of it and it drug in the dirt to make a mark.. sorry if this was a napkin at the coffee shop I could draw it out for you.. they were used mostly on tractor with 4 row planters. The arm was like a gate with an angled bar or cable attached to the end of the arm an top of the front frame..

My grandpa uses to farm 260 acres with a 14 hp John Deere MT. Hard to believe.

Hey FTR, could you do a piece on the economics and or advantages of haying annuals over perennials? We do perennials but I've long thought the quality & quantity might justify all the work, costs, and risks. Good vid buddy.

I don’t know that I have ever seen a farmer pull two implements at the same time as he was working the ground, like you did Tyler in this video. I live in Iowa, and we do have a lot more hills in some parts of the state, but we definitely have rich black soil… The northern parts of the state especially to the central and western park have a lot of farm land that is like yours where it’s a lot more flat. However, we always had heels of different sizes in our farms down south. I was wondering, do you help your father farm… Like my father did his Dad, which would’ve been my Grandfather. He also helped one of his brothers as he had a lot of health issues but he loved the farm and it helped him provide some income for his family. My dad was such a generous and loving individual not just with family, but even total strangers, who at one of our farms that we live just off the highway, people are always getting broken down, and my father would often times stop what he was doing and go help them if he could by having parts they might need but otherwise he would run into town which was about 4 to 5 miles in and get what they needed and come back and fix it and send them on your way. True story, 50 years later, when my father passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack, my mother received a card with $50 in it from a gentleman who is living in California. He told my mother, the story of my dad assisting him when he was broke down out on the highway near our house, and because it was winter, our own car didn’t seem to want to start win, this gentleman was needing help. So he wrote in the card that my dad just jumped up on the tractor and rode into town on the side of the highway to get what does gentleman needed for his vehicle and came back and fix his car and would not take any money for helping him. My dad told him that he really needed to go in town and get a part for something on the farm himself… But he felt that Daddy just said that to reassure the man so that he didn’t worry about paying him. He had heard from my mothers aunt or great, and I think it was. It also lived in California that our father had passed away and he wanted to get this money to my mother because it was long overdue and many times he thought about it and then Life just got busy and he apologized for taking so long to get it to her. Even though, my father insisted he did not need to pay.❤❤ It made all of us feel so good to hear stories like that, and there were plenty of them. On a sidenote, the day we laid my father to rest, not only was the church full, but they said chairs and speakers outside of the church, there were so many people from all over the US. You see my father wasn’t just a farmer, but when he turned 50, he would need a business for himself, initially building houses but later, just strictly doing concrete work, which is what he loved, and I know you’ve done it yourself so you know how hard at work it is. The day he passed away he wore the same size of pants as he did the day he married my mother. He worked so hard it wasn’t any time for fat to catch up with him on his body. He was a handsome man, but I will tell everyone who’s on the special diets all the time, he ate everything he loved to eat, including gravy, and fried steak. In fact, fried pork steak was his favorite!! We ate a lot of fried foods on the farm… At least more than I wanted, but I didn’t care for some meat, growing up, particularly greasy fried meat, such as bacon and fried pork steak. But I love beef just about anything that came from a cow and my mom made the best barbecue ribs in this world, and she did not have a recipe that she ever wrote down and consequently when she passed away, we did not have her recipe for her sauce, and though many of us daughters have tried to copy it, it always comes up short.😊😂 Tyler, I took a snapshot of your beautiful field at the end of the second day is all of the lovely neat rows❣️ I miss living on the farm and I guess I live vicariously through your videos. I love how you explain so much, and I know I’ve told you this before, but I’m so glad you didn’t put that wrench away, which held you to get that nut off, so you could drain the gas out. I’m wondering if you bought a new gas cap or if you put a bead of gorilla glue on it temporary or if you did like my family seem to think you should do… Duck tape until you can get to town to buy a new one or maybe you’d have to order it even. My last question I have for you today is how do you get those close-up shots between the tractor and whatever implement you were pulling… In this video, you literally could see the big clouds of dirt flying up just before they got smashed by the roller you were pulling behind the Spring Tooth…. Do you actually attach the camera to your tractor or is it an aerial shot that you zoom in closely in order to get that type of shot. Do you program the variation of shots before you send up the aerial camera or does it just automatically know to do that from an original program? Either way, it’s very impressive the photography that you are able to get and provide us with the best type of video.❣️ If I’ve not said it before, I want to say it now, I do love the music that you play on your videos. It’s a beginning and at the end, but definitely throughout the video. I also want to say that I think it what is a handiest Farmers I’ve ever known who is self-sufficient and not only repairing your vehicles and implements, but also building your farm up so that it is getting stronger and better… Whether that involves your oil fencing, that you welded or a new building or fencing, you put up… You don’t cut corners, but take great pride in everything you do. Thank you so much and I wish you and your family a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.🙏😇♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I enjoy watching someone doing tractor work like me without a cab. Nothing says work like eating a little dirt and exhaust. What is in the 3 way mix u plant?

At least somebody knows you can still do it with small tractors this way easy and cheap

Farming is half mathematics, from ploughing to reaping also you gotta be kind of jack of all trades.Still,hell lot of hectic life.Stay healthy and God bless you.🙏🙏

Good video thank you

I love my TC45 Boomer with cab Minnesota so ya.

I use my Farrmall Super A - My John Deere B - and my Ford New Holland 1720 Tractor to get er done.

Well when I was a kid growing up we farmed 114 acres with a farmall h 2 14 bottom plow, 8 ft disc, two row corn planter,13 hole grain drill, one row corn picker, and a 5 ft cut pull type combine

Do you ever wish you had more help with the farm? How you do all that by yourself is pretty great. Say hi to the MFTR & little one👍🏻✅

i used to farm 520 acres with 2- 65 horse tractors and a 35 horse.
