We couldn’t get into the field till it froze. We had 17” of rain between September and then. We tried one time and got absolutely buried

That had to be a sight! Slow and steady

Howdy! Seems to be alright cows like it and are milking well on it. Not ideal but we couldn’t get in the field

It’s a really pretty operation! Very nice to work back and forth with them. All the IHs have a ton of hours on them. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! And thanks for watching! They are good ole work horses. Crazy how fast they go with 34” rubber.. mine aren’t painted up like these but they run just as nice!

Thank you! It’s fun to watch them keep motoring on year after year. Paid for themselves over and over.

It’s very cool how well it grew especially this being the first time trying it. My corn at home is sprayed and fertilized cause I don’t have enough cattle to use just manure. But I’m glad these guys are able to pull it off!

Howdy! Thanks for stopping by! Glad I could bring some entertainment! I do enjoy running older tractors. My favorite we have has to be the 856. Very nice all around tractor. I love them all but for sure the most comfortable is the 8300.

Howdy from Wisconsin! Thanks for tuning in! You got it though, have to manage things properly! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Only the 8300 Is ours, but we work closely back and forth with this farm.

Garbage in garbage out

@@twicepaidfor8248 yep! Just like us!

Thank you! We try!

It seemed like this stuff was gonna be too dry. But the variety that was selected was a slow dry down variety so it held moisture extremely well. Fermented nicely. Our corn at home was drier yet and still turned out nice in the bag. Very cool on the line up of rigs! We don’t have any letter tractors anymore. Smallest one we have is an 806 now and that might go down the road too.

Thank you for watching! Happy to share videos when I can. Hopefully you can have some good memories recalled to mind!

The CO-OP that the milk is sold to allows for us to plant this corn. Just not allowed to use commercial fertilizer or herbicide

Yep this farm is still milking around 90 cows. They are like family, and we help each other out.

Very cool

@@johnoncken1757 thank you! It’s fun to help and be apart of 1 of only 5 left in our county. Thanks for watching!

Worked dairy farms back in the 60s filling silo was my favorite time guy I worked for had Gehl equipment white tractors was nice to see this thank you from London ont.

Yes. Stored in an HMC unit. The unloader has been changed to a Hercules and it works good.

Do you still have a dairy?

That’s awesome! Yeah definitely cool that it worked this year. Our corn at home is fertilized and sprayed. We don’t have enough manure to do this. Sounds like a good yield and gotta love a good ole 856!

Thank you sir! They try to keep them up nicely. All have very high hours too. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! We like it!

Mid to Upper $80s. Depending on how you order it.

They are a good ole work horse that’s for sure! Glad some memories could be stirred up. So cool how these were “big” tractors back In their day. Definitely appreciate how tough they were built, and how much they’ll do for 100 horse.

That’s awesome! Hopefully this brought some good memories back! They are quite a stout rig. Happy to have ours.

I definitely enjoy tedding with this versus the M 😂 so happy we had the opportunity to score the neighboring farm. Baler is a 2020! We bought it new that January. Thank you for watching!

Keep hustling and you’ll get there! They’re getting harder and harder to come by but a few nice clean ones are floating around

@@amniconvalleyangus I pray I will. I'm working 2 jobs and going to school

For pasture hay I was quite pleasantly surprised! They seem to be like tough ole machines. Couple of the neighbors have had them for years and years and they just keep going. I’m so happy we got our hands on this one. Super cool it was only 20 miles from us too.

For sure down from a normal year with moisture, but definitely up from last year and the year before. Just have been playing it safe and cutting what we can, also bought 250 bales so we should have enough. How about over your way?

@@amniconvalleyangushalf last years tonnage, but 2022 was a record high bale count. We have enough carryover to get us through winter hopefully. 250 bales is a big chunk of cash.

@@Rollinghillsfarmsmn wow really half!? That’s terrible! And it was opposite for us! Last year was the worst bale count we’ve ever had. It wasn’t cheap to buy the hay, but it was a good deal and we wanted to make sure we made the winter with plenty! Hopefully you guys can make it too. If you ever get a chance to wrap hay, it’s so very worth it.

I was getting around fine till that spot!

I can’t believe how much it greened the field up already! Super curious to see what it does next year! Thanks for watching!

Only guy left doing it semi close to us. Donny Wohlk I guess is done spreading that’s who did it before. Should make a difference, would like to get a better solid spreader for our own manure. Have thought about building some sort of manure storage, but not sure how that’d work with all the bedding hay.

@@amniconvalleyangus Its hard for a lot of these guys to get drivers. My neighbor has 5 or 6 trucks and he runs with Apple Valley and a few other outfits as needed. Busy time of year for those crews!

@@larsonvalleyfarm yep there’s such a shortage of help it’s crazy. I know we can hardly find people at work. But nows the time to go for these guys! Thanks again for watching

I think wish this one was a 65 or later! Be easier to get injection pump parts but I hear ya, they have a nice sound, and are really awesome looking and working tractors. Pack a lot of punch for a “small” tractor nowadays

I think they are over $80k now

Was time consuming for sure! Are you still able to get parts through Lulich or tractor parts ASAP? Figure Oliver and WFE parts are getting hard to come by

Did you happen to do tie rods too?? That’s about all I have left. But makes a huge difference! Did you guys buy your 966 new? And I’m having trouble with the 10 already.. seems like there’s air in the fuel

@@amniconvalleyangus we did everything. Wheel bearings, tie rods, bushings.... somewhere around a grand stuck into it. We bought it 20 years ago. I think it had 5600 hours on it then. Maybe you have to loosen fuel lines and tighten them up again. Unless it's the pump?

@@pinesedgefarm1155 wow.. yeah it wasn’t cheap for what I did, but I can imagine how it can add up real quick when you do the whole thing. Nice you guys have had it for that long. You know it’s a good tractor to make it 20 years after it was already 20+ years old. I’ve been playing with it, pump should be fine but who knows. I’m gonna replace that rubber fuel line between the filters and the pump. It’ll be 50 years old next year and I guess they collapse internally

Thank you! Lots of work has went into this tractor already. I’ll have an update posted in a bit!

Thank you! Very cool, they are sweet machines. Definitely worth the investment. Wish I could have one at both farms 😂

Thank you! And thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! Love the tractor. Got that concrete hopper in a package deal and man it’s been handy! This is all gonna he silage corn. I’d like to try some grain corn next year if I can pickup a little more ground. Thanks for watching!

That’s a ton of hours! Nice rigs for sure tho. Happy they come with a backup camera cause that’s my only gripe is the visibility out of the rear

Thank you!! Track one down if you can, they are great tractors!

@@amniconvalleyangus Well yeah frankly I would like too much 🤩😁 but I'm French and I don't know if there are any in France?? because these tractors have never been marketed in France but I would really like to find one because these tractors really seem to have the shape and the fishing!!!! 💪🔥

Their muffler. In one of the comments I posted the kit part number.

Thank you! Excited to see how it runs. 1466 is creeping up on 15,000, so I’d love to get another 10,000 on this one
