Dragging home a 1963 John Deere 2010 Utility model. My dad had one of these in high school, so when his friend that lives down the road was willing to sell his, I thought it would be a fun opportunity to acquire this early new generation model. It wasn't running at the time and was in rough shape, but after a little TLC I had it up and running and looking better. The tractor is being pulled by a 1949 John Deere Model B. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFm06ixDsfI

If you watched my pervious video on the Number 5 and 38 mowers, I mentioned that I had a little grain hay that I wanted to cut with the mowers. In this video I am using the 1947 John Deere Model A (48 model year) to cut some second-growth grain hay for the purpose of some quality seat time and time running the old mower. The Number 5 mower that I'm using also has some sentimental value, as I got that mower from my maternal grandfather. It is a mower that he had when he was younger and has told stories of spending many hours on it, so it's always fun to see it being maintained and used. In case you're wondering what grain hay is--on my farm I run a hay operation, so my primary product is alfalfa hay. Where alfalfa needs to be rotated every few years, historically people grew and rotated out barley in the area, but grain hay has started to become a popular replacement for barley. Basically it's a 3 or 4 variety grain cop plus sometimes pease (oats, barley, wheat are common). You plant the crop in the spring and cut it when the oats are in the milk stage and the product is still green. You dry and bale it as you would alfalfa or any other hay crop. Due to its variety, it is a healthy substitute or replacement for grass and alfalfa bales. Recorded with Dolby Vision 4K HDR on an iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro. Thanks for watching.

First time taking the 1947 John Deere model A out for a drive. I worked on it all summer of last year, and party of the winter. It's been so cold lately that I haven't really been able to do anything with it. We were pretty close to being done, then the cold caught up to me so I pretty much had to halt the project. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKGdYXzxpO4

Last year, I used the 630 to feed with. However, I thought it would be fun to try the A as well. I think the A is one of my favorite two-cylinder models. In this video I'm feeding beef cattle (Herefords and Angus) with the A and a custom-made feeder. The feeder used to be a round bale bagger. I converted it to work with the 3x4x8 large square bales. Bales are loaded with a 3020 PowerShift. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4xv3yJylKE
