Ah, back when the farmer bought the equipment the manufacturer never had any thought of telling them what they could and couldn't fix. Looking at you John Deere.

I think this farmer is a very smart person. No computers, no pollution equipment robbing him of horse power fuel economy, more than likely no payment to make on any equipment. And it looks like all his equipment is shedded and very well maintained. And I really liked the look on his face he was smiling and looked to be very happy.

This man is a real farmer not a New York businessman playing farmer. All is stuff is CLEAN, cows look excellent. Much respect !

His equipment looks very clean, he is proud of what he does

Way to go! Farm with fully depreciated equipment. Do what ever you can to keep the bank off your farm.

I think the key was that he said “I’m not a big operation.” It’s cool to see somebody showing that you don’t need 10,000 acres and $10,000,000 worth of equipment to make a profit.

Equipment manufacturers refusing to share right-to-repair is killing our agriculture industry.

My kind of farmer! Older IH equipment that still gets the job done just fine.

Well done to the Farmer. You can see that he cares for the machinery, the animals and the land..

This man will continue to succeed where others will fail.

Old school is cool! My favorite kind of machine is called paid for!

Need more farmers like this, I grew up in farming and I'm still around it. A lot of farmers in serious debt and one harvest away from going under and losing everything.

if you really look at the majority of auction sales, they have 1000 bu grain carts, $500,000 combines, 1 ton dually's, $500,000 quad tracks, etc. The rooster has come home to roost, now the auction takes place, IRS takes a 1/3, but you were a self boasting big shot while it lasted..
