Ryan, look up Swenson rv and equipment in minot North Dakota. I’ve been there I’m not kidding I bet there’s 500 tractors up there. They collect buy and sell check them out.
I worked for a guy in highschool who had about 40 cows and 500 sheep. His dad was still alive then and was telling me about mowing hay with a team of horses when and airplane landed in the field. Needless to say that upset those horses and they took off. I don't know how he got them stopped but by the time he did the mower was destroyed and Charlie was mad as hell. They got their first tractor in 1928 but the horses finally left in 1950 when the Case baler arrived. These are great stories. I really appreciate hearing them. Sometimes don't we realize how easy we have it today but at the same time how much better things seemed to be back then. For one thing, the dollar in your pocket was actually worth something. A man could take that dollar and build a good living with it, if he worked hard.
Well with 2 tractors with that low of hours ill think they'll definitely get there money back plus some extra. A lot extra. Should see Machinery Pete telling about how hi they went. That 4055 with 20 some hours will never go to a field but its gonna go super hi. Good vid lots off history
Great stories. Really learn sound living from these men you've been interviewing. Salt of the earth. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks
Thanks for the great mid week video, your interviews are amazing

I bought 2 used JD tractors from them many years ago. Great family to deal with!
EXCELLENT VIDEO! In my opinion. Who ever gets those tractors. They should go to work. But i would treat them like gold!😂
Great episode as usual. Keep’em coming
Thanks

That 1955 Oliver 😮
Know where there's a gear drive 826 golden still works all year
Not a green guy but those are amazing tractors.
My 81' Western star has a yellow 3406. I've been told it's never been touched, but idk.
Western Star wasn't owned by paccar
@RyanKelly-Wititan2 sorry. I miss heard. I thought you meant every truck from that Era.
WHY sell them now? Why not keep them as fondly as the tractors are spoken about?
The family is dispersing the family business.
If I were one of the sons - I would buy a few! Very impressive collection!
@@Taxpayeroftherepublic I don't believe they're selling *everything*...
@@RyanKelly-Wititan2I once bought a new Holland feed mill from R&M. Any idea what is going to become of the business site??
