Plowing with the 1947 John Deere A.

Testing out my Grandfather's old John Deere No. 5 sicle bar mower. It's missing a few gards in the video--but I'm just turning it on to see if it will even run.

Early summer is a nice time of year, especially when the barley is getting tall and just starting to ripen.
