The Top 5 Tractor Channels on YouTube

[Jchonline]

I've tried watching Morgans and Kapper, but in every video of theirs that I've tried to watch, it's endless talking without actually doing anything until the end of the video.

It would be nice to find a channel where they are actually working on their farm, or creating it, and not trying to drag on how long the video is with a bunch of meaningless chitter chatter.

Try Millennial Farmer or How Farms Work.

I would agree with JCH,

Of course now that harvest is over, it's probably going to be more farm maintenance related and family stuff (Millenial Farmer).

I’m not sure what you expect….its YouTube. Good channels take time and $$$ to create and maintain. We should expect some form of revenue generation to be a part of the videos. Just fast forward past them.

If you think anyone on YouTube these days doesn’t have $$$ in mind you are kidding yourself. Just delete the app and never visit the page again and you will be fine!

I also like Millennial Farmer. Good to see our children carry on the love.

I post vids on youtube, I don't make jack from the vids, and ain't looking to.

I agree, some of the channels mentioned are just doing videos for the sake of videos and revenue. They are too long with very little content. Sometimes they rope you in with a suggestive title and then you find out it's like 1 minute of content out of a 25+ minute video, and the rest is filler or generic. That rubs me the wrong way. I can always tell when $$$ is a motivation, it's way too obvious.

I did a video review of my sawmill last year, no motivation other then being a satisfied customer, and it started getting a lot of views, almost up to 300K at this point. I've since done a few others on tree work and milling, and some projects. Basically, whenever the mood strikes me and I feel like I have useful info to share or teach, I'll do a video. Some are short, some are long. It's not a job or an income, and I don't try to make the videos fancy. If it gets views, great, if it doesn't, no big deal. Every video has seemed to help at least a few people, which is all I want to see.

I haven't done a video in several months due to lack of stuff to talk about, but I'll probably do a follow up review for my sawmill and film some lumber production. When it's convenient and I feel like I have relevant info, I do a video. I couldn't see turning this into a job where I need to crank out content every couple days to survive. That's when things seem to go downhill for the bigger channels.

There are quite a few small Youtube channels related to sawmills and tractors that I have come across because they view my videos and leave comments. These are all small time guys sharing helpful information, and in many cases they are real characters that are fun to watch. I feel like these smaller channels are the real gems on Youtube. They are authentic and enjoyable.

FWIW I like Sonne Farms. Nice people with a sense of humor. Watch Andrew a lot; sometimes he's like an idiot savant, sometimes just an idiot. Riding a sport Quad with no helmet holding his selfie stick. But he's having fun like I used to sometimes. Out quading with friends on sketchy trails (tho' we drove slower).

Whatever makes you happy.

It makes me happy that you're ok with it.

How Farms Work is one of my favorites. I found him while searching for batwing mowers, and then watched a bunch of videos on haying that where well done. He could talk less in my opinion, but what he has to say is usually relevant to what he's doing, so it's not like some of the other channels where the blabbing goes on for half the video without actually saying anything.

Eddie,

Do you view our channel as too much talk?
We really try to keep things moving. …not as easy as it might appear!
