Welcome to Kyle Weber's site

Earlier I posted a video that shown how the grain (barley) was harvested.  This video shows how we unload the grain from the dump trucks and put it into the grain bins.

Sorry about the site downtime today.  Apparently my ISP, Silver Star Communications, had an issue where they bumped off all of their DSL customers until they rebooted their modems.  Since I was at work I was not able to do this until I got home.  Hopefully it won’t happen again anytime soon!

Earlier last fall I learned that someone in the valley has a very nice 1929 John Deere model D.  The D was the first tractor that John Deere produced under the “John Deere” name (the Waterloo Boy was officially the first, which John Deere purchased to jump start their tractor line).  Here is a picture of myself and a friend driving it in action.  It was a fun tractor to drive, though compared to my Model A it was akin to driving a tank…

Star Valley winters can be tough. Fortunately, we have our nice sleds (snowmobiles) to help us get through them.  This is a video I compiled of clips shot up Willow Creek, one of the valley’s many popular canyons.  Featuring Eric & Rob Heiner on their Yamaha RX1s.

One fo the things I love to do during the summer is go on bike rides with friends.  This is a ride I was on where we went to Caribou Mountain.  It’s quite windy, so sorry for all of the noise!

Here’s a short video I took while combining in a John Deere 6622.

Even though we sold the dairy a few years ago, we still have a few beef cattle.  It’s kind of fun feeding them when dad isn’t doing it.  Here’s a few random photos of our cattle feeding experiences.

I spent a little more time on the A, and decided to take her for a test drive.  She did okay, but still needs some work.  I don’t know if it is the timings or carb but the RPMs just wouldn’t go up, making it have no power.  Eventually I’ll get there…

We have a fairly rare John Deere 4020 on our farm.  I suppose it’s rare because it gets the most hits out of all of my videos on Youtube!  Okay, after doing some research online and reading some books, it really is.  It has four wheel drive (FWA, or Front Wheel Assist to be exact), which I guess makes it pretty rare.  It’s a nice tractor with the eight speed power-shift.  Since so many people seem to like it, I thought I’d highlight it with this post.  Enjoy.

It’s amazing how different one year can be.  Especially when it comes to the weather and snowfall.  Last year we had new fresh powder almost every single week.  This year we really haven’t gotten any new snow since the first of November.  I thought it might be neat showing a photo comparing the two.
