We at one point had 5 people working at the same time last weekend to get planting done, 2 dragging fields, 2 planting, and one running seed, fertilizer, diesel, and food around to all of us. So happy that shits over with
Great to see you are finished. Awesome to see your dad and Shelly out there helping. Seat time is the best way to learn. She's going to be fine as the years go by. Thanks for sharing. I'll keep you in my prayers. See you later.
The nice thing about a family farm is the FAMILY. Always willing to help in any way. Glad you got done. Thanks for the ride along Ethan. Take care. Fred.
Thanks for another great video. Ethan, you have your self a great woman there that will comes and help you out. My wife of 49 years she always help me out also. 👍👍
Congratulations here in Georgia we got done planting June 3rd we had to get help to finish planting me and dad goes from being the wettest May to now it is getting dry the corn is burning up around here now we want rain
No sweat got it all covered i usually have my wife run a roller over some too but its 60 foot wide and next year she will have a new tractor with autosteer
Those drag chains on the back of the drill seem like kind of a pain. It would be nice to have some kind of simple hooks/hangers for them where you could just walk along the back side of the drill and flip them off of the hanger quick. Maybe overthought, but might be a quick little rain day project and make life a little easier.
Growing up we had that same type of grain seeder . Ours had two wooden boards two walk on to load with and another one closer to the planter that would hang the chains over . Ours was a McCormick I believe . As I remember it looked almost exactly same setup as Ethan's with only one full length box on it . We planted oats , wheat , flax , alfalfa , barley , bloom grass , all throw the same drill .
I worked for a place for real close to Fourteen years , Was never late once . That with really heavy traffic in the Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington state areas . P D X airport to be the place .
Enjoy your videos, your thoughts on row spacing of your beans, last year when you harvested beans it didn’t dawn on me that they weren’t in 30” rows, until I saw you drilling them in now that you must have only 4” rows, I just went to my 50 yr class reunion so 50+ years ago growing up in a small rural town the only summer jobs were working for farmers, one such job was walking beans with corn knifes and cutting weeds, no roundup ready anything back then, so the beans were in 30” rows, this for 1.50$ an hour plus fantastic farmers wife made lunch, at the class reunion I ask a classmate who still farms and he says he plants his at 15” rows, there seems to be a lot more thought process in planting then just throwing beans in the ground, just wondering what’s your thoughts
@@Oliver66FarmBoy thanks for the reply, guess I missed you talking about that, like I said I grew up in a small rural town in Nebraska and out on a farm was about 50 years ago so watching all the farming you do has been a huge eye opener for me, I for one do enjoy you videos, great job and thanks
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Communication, So you don’t have to walk all over the fields watching them work. You spent so much time watching her run her lines and walking in the fields you could have gotten twice the work done if you had radios.
Yes because you can hear anyone talking over the sound on an open station tractor. You can’t even make a phone call without stopping and walking 30 feet away to get it quiet enough to hear anything. Im sure the 10 minutes I spent walking around looking at things cost me 20 acres of planting.

Its a relief.
Shelly seamed to be happy to driving tractor. Sooner or later it will all come together. Shelly you pay comes in the form of rocks. 😂
More people always helps.
There is plenty of acreage in that field. It's great to see everyone pulling together nicely to finish up the preping and seeding. Good video.
Thanks
Great to see you are finished. Awesome to see your dad and Shelly out there helping. Seat time is the best way to learn. She's going to be fine as the years go by. Thanks for sharing. I'll keep you in my prayers. See you later.

15:30 could try and get some S hooks and close one end on your drag rings so you don’t have to fight them around the drive shaft
Good you got it planted and hoping for a great crop😊😊
This is one of the biggest fields I seen you work
Hello everyone great vidéo and great equipement i love this old equipment
Thanks.
A 4-210 or 4-225 would be a future investment. Or a 4-270. You'll get there Ethan. Always need more horses. Keep the up the good work mate.
I wonder if the 4-150 would hold together if he played with the fuel screw to get a little more power for field work
@@ericmeyers2122 3208 cat would probably give up immediately
Great video. Well done with planting. Thanks for sharing and letting me tag along.
Thanks

Congratulations here in Georgia we got done planting June 3rd we had to get help to finish planting me and dad goes from being the wettest May to now it is getting dry the corn is burning up around here now we want rain
I was soul sampling on some corn today that had already died from drought stress on sand.
You have a good partner there Ethan.
Good to see Shelly 👍👍
Yep
Experience is always the best teacher doing is learning
Yep
Been quite a spring Farm Boy!!
Most tractors run out of weight before they run out of HP. You can have all the HP in the world but if ya are light your light.
Never knew that’s how that worked.
No sweat got it all covered i usually have my wife run a roller over some too but its 60 foot wide and next year she will have a new tractor with autosteer
Almost need auto steer with that big sob.

Works fine the way it is.

That with really heavy traffic in the Portland Oregon and Vancouver Washington state areas . P D X airport to be the place .
Shelly will make a good farmer
Sounds like there are a fair amount of rocks in the field.
There are.
Hay down will bring rain!
good going Shelly!!!! you did an awesome job IMO. Glad things are finished. Now on to the "Lazy Days" of Summer.
Still have hay to make. Spraying to get done. Side dressing to do and wheat to get cut.
I believe it's because untreated beings are slippery than treated beans
Always love your videos. What would it take to get it to a 4-180?
Buy a 4-180.
Glad you got it done its getting kinda dry here in alabama what year is the 1955?

You need Radios on those tractors.
For what?
Different operation but tried to get people to use radios but gave up every one just runs with spotty cells

@@jarroddraper5140 We have 750 acres and couldn’t do without radios.

Them 3208 are loud engines anyway buddy
For sure.
Is MFWD the same as front wheel assist?
Does the camera make Shelly more nervous?
No. She’s just never ran anything bigger than a lawn mower.
What is your favorite go to tractor? I know it’s kind of broad question
