Ask Steve Dave Farm And Cow And Ranch And Tractor And Truck Related Questions

[ben ji]

my grandpa used to have a giant tank of roundup on his 3 wheeler and one in a pickup and on days when there "wasn't as much to do" he drove around and round upp'd all his fence lines to keep cedar out!

But they made good fence posts when there were no trees anywhere

I ask this with all due respect and seriousness…did he die of cancer? Lot of those guys who were exposed to Roundup 24/7/365 have.

Pretty sure it's Parkinson's not cancer....or both. My aunt and uncle who are full time farmers  have Parkinson's.

They also had a giant tank of Roundup on the back of a three wheeler.

That's awful, sorry man.

is that a collector's price or a price based on a self serviceable tractor for actual farm use? i would be leery of a buying a car, bike or boat that old with those few of hours if i wanted to actually use it.

Yeah, it's hard to say the buyers' motivations.  True too, that if it's just been sitting for years, getting back in working condition is problematic.

The pre Def stuff is top dollar because guys can work on it. 

fcf can probably speak to used tractor market.

My dad has basically bathed in roundup the entire time he has been alive and I grew up slopping it around from commercial sprayers and boom rigs and on a tank on a four wheeler I drove around and sprayed things with. Pops has the commercial license for the top grade stuff random farmers couldn’t buy off the rack too. My dad is in his upper 60s now and still no known roundup related diseases (about died a dozen other times from various things as documented in this blog) and so far I seem to not be dead. Really hoping that continues to be the case.

We had 2,4-D or 2,4,5-T mixed with diesel fuel for brush and thistles.  A soup can to a 3 gal sprayer.
