I Bought My 1st Tractor!!

Planting corn and soybeans in a timely manner is one of the biggest variables in harvesting a high yielding crop. This past spring, we had a wet spring that caused us to plant half of our corn acres and all of our bean acres late. This late planting caused a massive yield loss. Due to seeing these differences, we were highly motivated to purchase a bigger planting for planting season 2020. The only issue with us buying a bigger planting is that we did not have a tractor big enough to pull a 24 row planter. Now we were on a mission to buy a 24 row planter and a bigger MFWD tractor.

Right away we jumped on an auction that had a 24 row planter and a 340 horsepower MFWD tractor. Once we got to the auction we were disappointed in the overall condition of the equipment. Dad and I go over a few things we looked at on the planter and tractor to determine we were not interested. Once we left the auction, we headed three hours away to purchase a 24 row planter we looked at a few days prior.

A few days later we had another auction come up that had a very clean 2014 Case IH Magnum 340 with 1,000 hours on it. I did not film the auction due to it being so cold, but I did film the tractor once we got it home. After giving a quick run down on it, Dad and I washed the 1991 Case IH 7140, the new Magnum 340, and the 2005 Bobcat T-190. After getting things all settled in the shop, I give a quick tour of the new tractor.

Thank you for watching!

I'm an IT guy, I don't know shit about farming, but hearing dad say "Warsh" was worth the watch. Congrats on the new purchases!

[wildflowerwind]

Warsh. Love that. That is exactly how my Dad used to say Wash. He grew up on a farm in Wisconsin. Passed away last January. 91 years old

[paulasamuelson]

DC, the relationship you have with your children shows what kind of man you are. You are an amazing man, a diamond in the rough!!! It also shows in the way you take care of all your vehicles. How you guys make sure that every little detail is taken care of. On every piece of equipment you have. This tractor is huge but beautiful. I respect how you take care of things. Keeping everything in top notch order especially after harvest. All equipment is washed, filters changed, everything greased and sometimes even polished!!!!. Your continuous care for your equipment keeps them running for years and years. My parents taught us that you keep care of what you have and you'll have it a long time. Pretty much how you have taught Summer, Cole and Cooper. Great job Daddy Cornstar!!! 💯😃👍🙏

The wisdom of Daddy Cornstar is... endless.

[rosikoenig]

I love how much you take care of your machinery, and take pride in all of your equipment.. a total pleasure to watch (and I am not even a farmer, but was a country girl in my youth) :)

[merryressler]

I remember watching my father-in-law combine corn (Colorado) on a tiny, cab-less combine back in the '70s. He worked into his 90s, and your dad reminds me so much of him! And that's a high compliment.

[organbuilder]

Well, COle, You have yourself a new toy. Glad to see that you love to take care of your equipment and make good choices when purchasing used equipment. You have a good head for business. You are such a help toy our Dad and the farms.

[yabucoaman]

When you treat your equipment with love and respect they will last a very long time

Yuuuup! That's a sweet tractor!
Daddy corn star, true story. So my Dad was real sick he needed a double lung transplant, he lived really far from the hospital where he would have the transplant, I lived about 30 mins from it, so he came to live with me while he was on the waiting list. I helped him with all his personal care, the first month he was with me I was shaving him and I said " Dad I'm just gonna clean up your eye brows too, ok? " he says " yup, if you reckon then need it", I said, "oh yeah...It's needed." So we get to talkin then all of a sudden I said " ought. Oh" .Dad says " well know, I reckon that's not a good "ought oh, now is it?" ...I said, "well, that all depends on how you look at it" ...He says, " well hand me that mirror, might as well see what we're dealin with "...so, I hand him a mirror. He looks everything all over and says " well...ya can't leave it like that, you best make the other one match"...I said " Dad! I'm NOT shaving half the other eyebrow off also! "...He said, " oh yes you are, now you created this mess, you're gonna fix it! Get ta shavin"...so I did. My very frail and very sick Dad looked mighty shocked, or in a perpetual state of "awe" with both eyebrows clean shaven off right to the mid point!. Every day I had to take him to his physio at the hospital, the first day he went with the new eye brows., he was just chompin at the bit when I came to pick him up. I get his gear ready and I'm wheelin him down the hall and he starts telling me about what happened at " exercise class" ...He says " as soon as the nurses saw my new eyebrows they all came right over to ask me who did them ( I'm thinking oh Lord), then he says " yup...I was the talk of the group today.". We get all piled into the car, wheel chair, oxygen tank, Walker and backpack stowed away, we pull out of the hospital parking lot and he looks at me and says " you suppose there's anything else you can shave off tonight before we go to exercise class again?". I just about died. I responded emphatically " no"...I will not be shaving all your eye brows, or your head, or your arms or anything else off so that you can be the talk of the class!" ...we had a long 6 mo nth wait, and after his transplant we had some hard times also, but I'll tell ya, that eyebrow story made us both crack up, every single time.
Sorry for the long story, but when you talked about the shaven eye brow, I knew I had to share our story :)
