Laura, Grant, please have your friend place a railroad tie under each end of the container. Airflow under it is a must. If not, the floor will rot out faster than he can fill it up. Keep up the excellent videos. As field work ramps up, stay focused and safe.

You can also put the container on concrete piers. That's pretty common for people using containers for homes and whatnot.

Railroad ties or wooden utility poles (especially old ones) have such a high concentration of creosot with copper, arsenic and other nasties that they will outlive the container in any conditions.

If you can do your mascara in a tractor cab at 10 miles per hour, then can pronounce “root” any way you want! The way you pronounce it sounds really cool! If Grant needs a couple more shop projects buy the Farmalls! Excellent video Laura! Your commentary is great the way you explain everything! You’re creating a whole new group of farmers, known as “internet farmers”!! Keep up the great videos and keep teaching us what you and Grant do everyday on the farm!

Antique tractors of yesteryear are soooo cool. Buy 'em, restore 'em, sell and trade at shows. Great fun! Shipping container buried in the ground on a gravel footing makes a great tornado shelter.

Yeah, Laura, have your friend place something hefty underneath the container for air circulation. Might need four such objects equally spaced crosswise across the length. Those containers are heavy and might sag over time. Bring the Farmalls home! Operating classics are much better than dead antiques!

Laura we love the Midwest in you. Pronunciation of "root" can vary slightly depending on the region in the USA. In some areas, particularly in the Midwest and the South, it may be pronounced with a slightly different vowel sound, like "rut" (/rʌt/), whereas in other regions, it may sound more like "root" (/ruːt/) with a longer "oo" sound.

Laura. An observation. In the first vlog from Utah, you and Rory are doing a photo shoot and they have you standing on a wood booster block. The when you go on the Trail Mater test drive you tell Rory you need a booster seat. Then in the last ten seconds of your last vlog from Utah, you are in the RZR and it looks like you can barely see out the door. Does Grant need to make you a booster seat for the RZR?

We use our old gas job open station international tractors for things like raking rotary mowing moving wagons running augers and that kind of stuff and they're still handy. The oldest one is a 1941 bien that we still use for a little jobs.

I grew up farming with a M and a H Farmall. They were great tractors and could be very useful again, especially if they're restored. You just won't have a cab and air conditioning or heat but farming like we did fifty to sixty years ago, will give you a real sense of nostalgia. Good luck.

@davidgingery8927 2 ай бұрын

@@Snarkapotamus It's been years since I have been around both tractors, but I seem to remember a large coil spring and maybe a small shock absorber under the seat. We never had a cushion cover on the seats, so even with that little bit of suspension you felt everything. I spent many hours on those seats over eleven years, until I went in the Marines. Between that, riding dirt bikes, driving patrol vehicles and tractor trailers, my lower back is now telling me that maybe all those things together over time, might not have been the smartest thing I could've done for myself. If I could I would still go back and do it all again.

Best thing about old tractors is you fix them up, then you take them to tractor shows, parades and other things and meet cool people interested in the old machinery. It's awesome hearing stories from the older generations when they reminisce about using them to farm in the past. You really get a sense of how far farming has come since those tractors were working machines.

Thanks for the video. The red ones would add some class to your farm (I noticed the smile on your face at the "Red Power Roundup" in Grand Island last summer); but your green ones are something I would be proud to own. I started farming the the red ones - IH 1456 & IH 1066-; and considered them the "hot rods" of tractors. Turned the injection pumps way up, put on chrome, straight pipes, and washed & waxed them often. However, I did switch to John Deere with two 4955's FWA's in the early 1990's. Ran Deeres ever since. Always interested in everything you and Grant (also Gage) do on your farm.

What an interesting comment you made about what happened in a past year at “this” spot. What continuity, what connection to the past and your ancestors who farmed. The history you expressed is beyond description, it is a connection to the land. My ancestors, and my wife’s ancestors were farmers, that connection resonates through the generations. And, oh, I enjoy your videos.

Shipping containers, not necessarily "so much bigger than you'd think". They're nearly all a standard width and height, but come in 10', 20', 30', 40' and 48' long, basically to fit ships (like the one that hit the bridge in Port of Baltimore last month), semi-trailers for road haulage and wagons for rail work. As others you want to prop the ends on some sort of blocks to keep the floor dry.

@ChadPrestonOfficialThree 2 ай бұрын

Double o can sound like /o͝o/ as in cook, wood, soot, foot, hook, shook, took, brook, good, crook, stood OR root. Maybe it's a German thing. The Ö (o "umlaut") has the short o sound. I have German heritage and have always pronounced root as "rʊt", just like you do! There's really no wrong way to say it. There's a personal preference that influences every speaker.

What I see as so cool is the barn built cherry picker from hell going neck n neck with a modern telehandler and holding its own. Bad idea to beef it up, it has its purpose, works well and mods will lead to overloading n failure. The Farmall's?
