Estate Sale John Deere 1207 Hay Conditioner - Can We FIX IT?

Since it’s Father’s Day something I’ve always wanted to say to you personally is how I am awestruck by what tremendous respect you have for your children. You speak to them with great respect and dignity. What a great role model for fathers today this is a comment from a father of 12 good job.

Showing your son how to fix things instead of just buying new is priceless! Bentley obviously idolizes you , and is absorbing everything you show him like a sponge. What a perfect way to spend Father's day!

Every time I see Bentley throwing a tire back on and tightening the lugs in a star pattern, it makes me smile. You've given your kids the greatest gift they could ever receive ... your time.

well I'll be dipped a guy and a little fella with a bonus video on father's day. Happy Father's Day Derek and all you VGG dads out there!!!

I've never farmed, and most likely never will. But a guy really, really enjoys these videos. Happy Fathers Day everyone.

Man… I miss my dad. How blessed I am though to watch stuff like this and have a familiar feeling of spending time with my dad.

Between the farming stuff and your normal car content, you are by far the best YouTuber around. A guy just wanted to say thanks for the endless hours of viewing pleasure we all get.

My dad was a truck driver, local delivery, unload by hand. I was about Bentley's age when I would work with him in the summer when school was out. This is back in the early 70's before some lawyer would call it child abuse. I also always helped when we were painting around the house. Father and son gain a lot of respect for each other when they work together like that.

Happy father's day Derek! Nice addition to the farm. Hope to see you round baling soon.

From Randy in Chattanooga: Happy Father's Day, Derek!!! May you have many more!!! Nothing beats spending your day with the "littlest human that you're responsible for".

That hay conditioner is in actually great condition for its age nice purchase. Your kids have it made, they get to be farm kids, i love it, making memories bud awesome job.

Having your sons and or daughters working with you on a farm is traditionally how the knowledge is passed on. I still have fond memories of working on my cousin's farm up in north central Iowa when I was a kid. Up before the sun and out working feeding the animals and doing other chores. Fixing the haying equipment was always winter work so it would be ready in the spring. Back then we used to make some pocket money (25 cents an hour) walking the beans for other farmers.

I remember replacing sickle knives every summer on the farm growing up. Put the bar in the vice loose and whack the sickle blade on the back side. Removed in one whack. Knock out rivets and rerivet. We had a rivet tool which was slow, once you master a rivet punch, you are on a roll.

These videos remind me of my father and I, out in the shop every evening getting it done, he wasn't a very vocal guy but some of my favorite memories were late nights in the shop or in the field. We need more fathers like you in the world Derek. Happy Fathers Day to a guy who deserves it.

Hey Derek it was great to be your” neighbor “for the whole weekend at a particular place and was cool to meet you and your boys. So polite and well mannered.Didn’t know If the gift I left ya was a guys particular flavor but at least it’s a cool bottle and figured I’d never get that opportunity again🤣. Didnt have paper so a paper plate had to do. Very cool experience for me and I had to resist the urge to ask for a pic or autograph but I respect a man’s family time and a chance to get away! Hope you had a good Father’s Day weekend.

Vice grip needs to up his game. Little grip is kicking his butt in the mullet department. Its freaking awesome!

Oofta. I've replaced thousands of sickle blades when I was younger, 40 to 50 years ago. On combines with 24' headers, to self propelled windrowers. All with rivets, smashed with a hammer. Great experience for the youngster. Rivets are soft, decent chisel will knock the nub off, then a small punch to get the rest out.

From Randy in Chattanooga: HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DEREK!!! MAY YOU HAVE MANY MORE!!! Nothing better than spending YOUR day with the “littlest human that you’re responsible for “.

I really enjoy you working with Bentley. What a great thing you’re doing for him and for your relationship. He’s a chip off the old block at least from here. You set an excellent example for other fathers to follow to include their children in on projects. Lost my Dad many years ago and it warms my heart to see you and your youngest, actually any of your boys working together. Thanks for what you do - love your videos and all ya’ll. God Bless

Happy Fathers day to all Fathers out there. Thank you for the gift VGG, Little Grip, and VG Lodge
