Boy it's been years since I've seen a David Brown, very nice

I did a small amount of work bailing haying for Joe Little in Sussex, N.J. back in 1957-58, 14 hours a day, I asked him why he paid me $1.25 an hour instead of $.85 and he said, "Because you work". He paid my SSI and I will always be thankful for that and the can of beer he gave me at the end of the day.

Nice David Brown.

My dad had a David Brown when I was kid. Love that sound they make every time the plunger hits. His sounded the exact same way.

Back in 1968 & 69 Dad did custom work putting up a 1000 acres of alfalfa in Eastern Washington. H e had three John Deere 214 WS wire tie balers and put out bales @ 125 pounds a piece for sale to Dairy farms on the west side of the mountains. I enjoyed the video

Have a lot of memories with my grandparents working a Ford tractor and a New Holland baler. I’m in the process of reviving those old memories and make some of my own

Love those old David Brown tractor’s ,grew up on a 770 David Brown and a JD 3020.

Growing up my Grandpa had a 601 Workmaster diesel front end loader and David Brown, great machines.

Great video. I enjoy when someone takes the time to explain the workings of old farm equipment, as a collector/restorer of antique farm equipment and maintenance tech for over 40years you did a fine job of talking about the importance of maintaining the equipment.

I always broke lots of shear bolts whenever I baled hay. Used to tick my dad off. The guy we rented the farm got sick of my dad yelling at me told him we were baling hay too late into the night when the hay was too "stiff". I worked a regular job, then worked for my dad until football started then my two brothers and mom drove tractor. My dad started out with a couple small Ford tractors that were made around 1950 or so not quite antiques in the late 1980's.

That little red ford is a nice looking trwctor. Sounds great too.

Love your David Brown! I grew up farming with them and now I find abandoned ones and restore them to use on my pecan farm!

Brings back memories. Grew up baling with a DB 1200 and a New Holland baler. I still have the tractor. Bought it off my dad when he sold the farm. It was the first new tractor and the first diesel on the farm. Still runs great.

I used to sling bales on a 6 stack stooker behind the exact same setup over 40 years ago... It was like a ride down memory lane.
-
That was really good. Love that rake, baler, and David Brown.
-
Love your David brown 990, I had one just like it, bought it brand new 👌 😀

This was the best farming video I’ve watched. This young man is so informative, articulate and personable. I really like the smaller operation and tried and true machinery he showcases and explains... true farming, not like the corporate, industrial, operations where they don’t even steer their tractors anymore. We’re in for a rough time and these smaller machines are gonna be needed.

Good for you farming! This brings back memories 45 years ago bailing hay one Summer in the Finger Lakes in New York, on the hillsides.
-
I have watched a ton of new Holland baler videos you have explained its operations better than all the 40 or so I've watched. Well done as a teacher.

Just found your channel, I love that you farm with the antique iron still, I grew up on a 9N Ford, the old Fords hold a special place for me. Beautiful 601 you have
