  • Snowmobile Ride Up Stump Peek

    A few weeks ago my sister and her husband came up for the weekend, and we were able to go on a quick snowmobile ride up Stump Peek.  We had a lot of nice deep powder–the Polaris Dragon definitely had an advantage over the older 800 RMK.  

  • Shuffling around the Classic JDs

    I had to get something out from the back of the barn, and that meant pulling out all of the classic tractors…  Since I had them all out on a cold wintery day, I thought that would be a good opportunity to get a quick little video of them running.  What you can see is…

  • Christmas Video

    Here’s a little video that goes along with my last post.

  • Christmas Season

    Christmas was good to me this year.  All of the family was up, and everyone seemed to have had a good time. Growing up my cousin and I both had toy pedal tractors.  We had a lot of fun on them, and tried to take them everywhere.  My little nephew (slightly under two) is currently…

  • John Deere A Pulling Straw Wagon

    This is a video of my restored 1947 John Deere A pulling a wagon loaded with 3×3 straw bales (1/2 ton alfalfa sized).  Although we have newer and more appropriate tractors for such a task, it is fun to see the A that I worked so hard on over the past year doing some real…

  • JD 4230 with 945 MoCo Swathing Alfalfa Video + Timelapse

    This is a video of me swathing (windrowing) a small alfalfa field next to my parent’s place.  I love seeing old footage and videos on our farm–which not much exists of.  So, I try to record this type of stuff because maybe some day someone will find it as interesting as I do. The video…

  • John Deere 4020 FWA Loading Hay HD 2012

    This is a video of a John Deere 4020 loading half-ton bales onto a wagon being pulled by a John Deere 4230 on August 1, 2012.  

  • A Day On The A

    Having spent so much time restoring the John Deere A, I tried to use it for a few little tasks around the farm.  Here’s a video of it harrowing a pasture and hauling some half ton alfalfa bales. Also included is a few photos of the restoration process.

  • March 2012 SV Sunset

    This is a video I took of the sunset that we had on March 24, 2012.  The view is from Weber Lane looking towards Black Mountain and the North East mountains of Star Valley.

  • 1939 John Deere A and Spring Baby Calves

    Here’s a video that was taken up at the calves.  This video is similar to the previous post, except it has more of the calves and shows the tractor stationary. Our beef cattle calf in the spring, and we feed them during the summer on the range, so our beef is only Alfalfa and grass/range…
