  • 1st Crop of Alfalfa 2014

    This video is about Harvesting the Alfalfa 1st Crop 2014. It goes from cutting the crop with a pull behind John Deere 945 MoCo Windorower (swather), Raking it with an old John Deere 2010 and side-delivery rake (retro, but when you are starting out from scratch, that’s what you have to do), and baling it…

  • Drilling with the John Deere 4640

    Discing with a John Deere 4230 with a BW disc, and drilling (planting) with a John Deere 4640 and LL-A grain drill. The drill is the device that is used to put the seed into the ground.  The harrow and the roller are there to smoothen out the ground and push down rocks, as we…

  • Pushing Snow with Farm King and JD 4230

    This year I purchased a snow blower to help keep the barnyard cleaned out.  The snow slides on the side of the barn to the point where it can’t slide anymore (builds up too much).  SO, with the snow blower I am able to keep it pushed out better.  It also lets me use the…

  • Hauling Hay with the 4020, 3020, and 4230

    Over the weekend (July 13 2013) we were hauling some hay (alfalfa) from the dry farm to the barn.  These videos show the John Deere 4020 and 3020 loading the hay, and the John Deere 4230 hauling it.

  • October Through December 2012 Photo Journal

    I finally got around to finishing the photo journal 2012.  As you may notice, there are many photos of me feeding cattle.  That’s because with the days as short as they were, my schedule basically consisted of going to work, coming home and feeding the cows, then getting home just in time for it to…

  • April 2012 Photo Journal

    Here’s my photo journal for April 2012.  Sorry I’m a bit late–with the days getting longer it’s harder to find time to do stuff like this (but easier to find time to take photos).  What’s neat about this month is you get to see the change in landscape as the snow leaves and the valley…

  • 1949 John Deere BW Muffler Replacement Video Preview

    John Deere BW Muffler Replacement Preview–incomplete. This is a section of a video I’m putting together of a muffler replacement on a 1949 John Deere Model B. It’s the first time I’ve had this hood off, so I ran into a few snags. I’ll have to finish it another day. When I do, I’ll make…

  • Photo Journal Jan 2012

    This year I’ve decided to once again do a photo journal.  However, unlike previous attempts, I am only going to take one photo a day, and upload the entire month as a single post, instead of a post every day.  These photos are just that–a journal.  They are not meant to be glamourous or overly…

  • Unloading Grain

    Earlier I posted a video that shown how the grain (barley) was harvested.  This video shows how we unload the grain from the dump trucks and put it into the grain bins.
