- Join along as I check out Spring Brook Farm with Frank Matheson. A fleet of equipment and a great operation that has been family run for over 300 years, established in 1713. Thank you for watching.
@Frank_Matheson
Since 1713. “No Shit”. Fantastic. Thanks for the tour.
Long time for sure
300 Yr old farm... CRAZY! Good on them for keeping the farm in tact through good times and bad.
Yeah, like the Revolutionary War fought near there!
A lot of old horse power there amazing .I have one old horse a 250 IH she still runs good.
Roll on keep those tractors showing their stuff.
300 years. my brain can't even imagine such a long run for a family owned business! congrats!
That farm is older than the country it’s in. His family probably got off the boat and set up shop right there and have been there ever since
Nice to see all those IH tractors especially the 2+2 Running a 3588 here in southern CT
Those magnums are bulletproof great tractor
that was straight up amazing! Imagine the collective knowledge and experiences the family went through in 300 years! It makes me think that as society grew up around the farm, it made it harder to survive, but also made it easier in that the markets are now closer again and supported locally. I wonder what the next 300 years will be like for them. Great video, thank you!
They sure have seen alot of change, thanks for watching
Seems like the dogs enjoyed the visit as much as the guys did lol
300 year old equipment for sure!
Damn nice 84 359! Love the corvette dash and the KTA cummins
nice collection of antique tractors
Nice video. I like your explanation of everything. Really neat to see a farm that old. Most of the farms here are 65 years old or less. That is an impressive amount of tractors for the acres. Also I was interested to see that rears pak blast. That came from Oregon clear on the other coast of the USA. We have a lot of those and bigger ones for the orchards also working for a caseih dealer helps. Just got a history of IH and caseIH book it says there were 2146 3388 made and about 6000 3588’s. So relatively rare tractors.
It is so nice to see farming in Massachusetts thank you for showing
I live 12 miles south of La Porte were that Rumley oil pull was made my dad's grew up and farmed in La porte ! I realize everything on the eastcoast is old but Laporte was settled in 1832 that's old for the midwest tons of history there !
It’s nice to see farms still thriving like that in Mass
Not enough, my grandfathers old cranberry bogs are now conservation land after he sold them
@@TozziWelding I’m in central Mass and all the fam land is being sold and turning into houses it’s a sad thing lucky my farm has pulled through but I lost 50 acres this summer to solar development witch is another thing putting farmers out of business.
@@barkoskiefarm8240 I live in Marlborough now, it is painful to see what has happening to what was once agriculture land. Up the street from my house off of rt 20 was pasture land is gonna be condos, disgusting.
@@TozziWelding ya it’s sad
@@barkoskiefarm8240 my wife thinks I am nuts, but I can buy a real farm in western Massachusetts for less than my house is worth in Marlborough
Man...be proud of that...no doubt...cheers boys!
I thought 1984 Pete's had square headlights but I've been wrong before. Awesome vid. Love 7710 II
@George Jones you are correct 1987 when the 379 was released. I googled it. I heard once that it was 1984 but I was wrong.
That was a great video!!!!
I bet you could go round that place ten times and still not see everything. Great farm great stuff!
Thanks to both of you for the show!!
Great farm tour👍wouldn’t mind some CASEIH equipment in my shed
long live the straight pipes, sure love the sound the ih 66 series makes.
The Great Plains Factory is an interesting place to visit.
You have a very nice collection of international red all the way teach Duffy to go red then he will be smarter I know richer for sure lol
@Robert Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Hello hope you are doing great
Will love to know you if you dont mind
@@jennifersmith8151 merry Christmas and happy new year to you
@@robertcowden9484 thank you hun do you mind if we get to talk more off here
I don't mind i guess
Thanks same to you
Some great equipment, the white planters can plant circles around a case ih or deere planter.
Love to see you do a few acres with those old school implements and show how hard it was to work land back in the day
That was an awesome video Chris , it was great getting a tour of Frank's family farm. 300 years that is amazing.
Nice farm and equipment
almost at 20k subscribers, way to go
KTA Cummins, you have all the good toys
Just found you and subscribed. Thanks for the education in all things work and farm. Best.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video. It was neat to see all the machinery that's accumulated on the farm within the 300 years.
At the time of me watching this, 1.3K likes...............IF I heard right 1K likes = plowing video with the old girl. I'll anxiously await that video!
i drooled a lil at the classics love seeing old gems
Sounds crazy but if you have trouble getting your suction cup mounts to hold get the pad wet, a little spit works great lol. Just like with a lot of things a little lube makes it better :)
THANK YOU IT IS NICE TO HOW OTHERS FARM
really digging the Oil Pull, we have a 1918 14-28. Cant wait to see her plow... there is nothing like it when they work... the sound is absolutely beautiful
They have some nice stuff, the auto car is a unit for sure
Good job. You do a great job explaining things.
I would buy merch and great video.
Thanks Chris for this video. Same family 300 years. Makes me emotional even. Jeez. And their other double duty tractor with a freshly blown motor. I see no clean shop area to rebuild a motor. So may be the end of the 766. Did you know why they get little use of the big tractor in the back? He said jts a shame, which to me means someone never had enough sons to complete this place.
The 766 will live again. They have a small but beautiful shop. Great family to work for.
Excellent tour. I love all the brands out there. Have a happy new year.
Another great video. Thank Frank. Have a good new year 🐄
Well I liked this video before the plowing with oil puller teaser lol .
I’m a long ways away in central NY family farm 1843.
But I can personally vouch for Springbrook farms vegetables and bakery . Great Stuff !!! Plan on buying things you need and don’t need like way to much pie and breads lol
My. Wife’s family was in Townsend , Bolton and Belmont .
Chris I know you are a JD man but this was a nice tour. We have some of the same tractors on our farm.
Great tour Chris and many thanks to Frank
We have front duals for a 8950 sitting around no tires anymore though
we had the same 1440 then 2144! now we are in a 5088
So many cool trucks. I was hoping they had a Autocar AT64F too
Sure would be nice to see that Oil Puller or some of those old Macks going at it, awesome stuff thanks for the tour!
👌
great tour
back in the 60s gehl made an attachment that goes on the end of the auger to fill 50 lb bags it was a tube that at the bottom had 2 sides and a switch that flipped between the sides
So is Frank a 12th generation farmer? That’s cool as hell.
Dad was an excavator and I worked in the cherry orchards as a kid. I still love looking at heavy equipment.
Hide and seek was played at a whole other level with heavy equipment involved. Dad and his friend won by climbing to the top of the crane boom with a six pack.
Cool tour!
You need to get that oil puller out regardless, it would be nice to see old horse power working.
Cant imagine what 300 years of equity on a property would look like on paper
Thanks for all the vids through out 2020👍 really enjoyed them
Buddy of mine has a 79 900 KW w/KT600 18speed They are Bad MFer's totally restored !
Driven by that place a million times.
About time somebody did a tour of this farm! The only big grain farm in North Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
300 acres is big ?
Were im at 3k is
But still interesting
@@scottholbert1192 in Massachusetts, 300 acres for a farm is a decent sized farm at the least. Our state is mostly woods not fields unfortunately.
I just learned from talking with my Brother Will Rogers that he knows you and you May have stopped at his Dairy farm in Warren.He had nothing but good comments about you.what a small world.
20 degrees would be nice it was 7 below here this morning central Minnesota
Great video! Hope you have a great New Year! Looking forward to your new videos
If your farm was a little closer I’d come over and drive that ol Mack for you
Hopefully we get 1000 likes
I grew up with a black stipe 1066 with a cab. I know what it's like to back up and break a door.
U got a 1000 likes it would be sweet to see u guys get that old girl out and working
damn...... that's sweet
Fire up the Rumley! Let’s do some plowing.
California Farming 4 Life. Farmer Ken.
Wheres Junior he is s great collector for sure
Yenko knew where he was when you pulled up.
Case 👍🏻👍🏻
That 435 is so mint
Duffy will have 20K subscribers before January 1 hits.Just watch.👍
That seems like a lot of iron for the acreage he stated in the beginning of the video
They definitely have a good collection made up over the years
Y’all are small out there out here in northdakota 5,000 acres is a small farm we are doin 8,500 acres
I want a full video on that Rumley, I will come out and help
Our 8920 has just gone over the 5000 hr mark. Oil changes and nitrogen charge on the power shift...that's it since 1998.
Great tractors
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can you still get parts for Gehl farm equipment? Great video
Corn and beans in mass? I’ve always been told it can’t be done lol. I’ve always been told it’s not profitable here
What's up
So what do they do with most of the corn and soybeans
Awesome video. Too bad you had to throw in those pete's 😁😁😁 pretty impressive line up of equipment
Peter built and Kenworths are better built than Freightliners.
@@JamesTyreeII if you say so
@@koryleague8833 I do
@@JamesTyreeII if you say so your mistaken but your entitled to your opinion
@@koryleague8833 This is a fact. It’s not my opinion. This is a fact from a professional trucker
I want to see the oil puller 2500 likes right now lol
Frank should start a CZcams channel
That is a nice Ford the only thing wrong with that is it is a 7710 2 is in Roman numerals. And the are ok. But it is big in Europe. We have one that runs are manure spreader.
Are’s is the normal not a 2.
hey duff see that power smoker yea
Hi
Is that an old 7520?? With the silage blade.
Did I hear you right - he took a container trailer & made a flatbed?
They took a 40 foot container chassis and made it into a log trailer. My tanker semi is a 20 foot container chassis with a straight truck tank on it as well
Was the DK Autocar an old Susi truck
You sould get all red tractors
Take all them ol' tractors out and let them pull a molboard plow
Just wondering, what state are you guys located in?
Pretty sure new york
Located in Massachusetts just outside of Boston
Great Road, Littleton, Massachusetts, USA
You can always tell when someone has to much money they start buying Caboose's , firetrucks ,Abulance's ect...
I have alot of friends who bought fire trucks for a few thousand. Use them for tankers usually. The caboose was free I do believe and is going to take alot of skilled labor to make it anything cool again. But the uncle has that type of skill
@@DuffyAg I bought an old firetruck from my hometown for short money, gonna be my next service truck. How much is it gonna cost me to make a 1968 International truck an everyday runner again... I must be rich
Are Massey Ferguson's not as good as they used to be, or are they not as good up north? You need to have your friend start a youtube channel I could go back and forth between you two considering they're two different kinds of farms.
Just a sea of red .
What happened to ploughing with the oil puller at franks as you got 3000 likes??
Its all red because it better the pump went out of my tractor 1327 dollars to replace it
300 year old farm and only that many acers
