With the snow getting deeper, the model A (being a tricycle front end) has a bit of a hard time going through the deeper snow. Several people have recommended spacing out the front wheels. I did that today, which gave me an excuse to get some more video.
Video shows feeding my fathers beef heard of Hereford and Angus beef cattle, with a 1951 John Deere Model A and a custom made big bale feeder. The bales are 3x4x8 grain hay (Prosper 3) bales. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exBkyH9bMIo
Raking alfalfa with a 1957 John Deere 420 Utility with under exhaust. The video was shot with a DJI Phantom 3 drone. The purpose of raking the two rows together is so the big baler can more easily bale them up. I use a Hesston 4790 3x4 big square baler. The model 420 is the predecessor to the John Deere Model M.

Feeding the beef cattle and putting a few tags into two newborn calves ears. Their mothers were pretty calm, but always kept a watchful eye, as well as let you know they are still in charge!

We're finally into first crop (yes, most of you are probably done with second or third), and I thought it would be fun to use the newly acquired IH rake with an IH tractor. Where I have had the F30 out lately, I thought it'd be a fun one to use for the video.
The tractor is a 1936 Farmall F30, and the rake is an International McCormick rake.

This is a video I took today of me feeding the beef cattle with the John Deere 4020. It's been unusually warm this year, and with the large amount of rain we've received it has created a huge amount of mud.

In this video I drive out to a field and talk briefly about the John Deere 420 Utility. It was also a good opportunity to exercise the dogs. :)
I also included some footage I took a few days ago where we pulled a wagon with a hay bale on it to feed the cattle with the 420.
The tractor is a 1957 John Deere Utility with under-exhaust.

We plow up the pasture a little later in the year, due to the fact that the cattle are on it until they go on the range for the summer. This year, we had some problems with the pivot, so we weren't able to get a good amount of water down first before we plowed it up. That made it pretty dusty... Anyway, we hit it hard and turned it from pasture to seed in the ground pretty quickly.
