Hi Pete my Father just passed away and we loved watching your videos when would get together we would talk about your videos. I just wanted to thank you and your family for posting your farm and videos for us. I loved my dad and I will miss the talks we had about your channel. Thank you so much.

You’re welcome Mark. Sorry about your Dad.
Your tractors are a testament to old technology, I watch other farming channels and if their new fancy tractors sit all winter or sometimes just a month they won't start or the computer won't let it move. I've always said I'll take old over new any day. Have a good day Pete.

Speaking of old over new, does anyone here love to use paper and pens or pencils? I do ;-}}. Should I have whispered that? Thanks so much, Pete.

That’s kind of strange thing to say when you think about it. The “old technology” he’s using was state of the art at one time. It’s hard to compare old and new like that because his old machines are very well maintained. A broken hydraulic hose could have you down just like a computer. And at one time, hydraulics were “new technology.” You would’ve had guys saying they’d never run those new fancy hydraulics because a chain drive or a long lever to lift an implement was so much more reliable and you didn’t need any fancy tools to work on them. Some guys were resistant to running combustion engines because steam was the way to go. Or forget all of that gadgetry because horses are more reliable. I’ve ran fairly new equipment on a farm and fairly newer “fancier” equipment at work now. I like both. I’ve had or have many antique tractors and really appreciate them. It’s really hard to beat air conditioning, g.p.s. Plotting, and auto steer if you’re going to sitting in a tractor or combine for 12-14 hours though. I think people would be better served to growing intellectually with new equipment instead of shying away from it. There’s no difference in mindset of thinking about buying a decent welder, torch set, hand tools, etc. and wanting to be proficient with those tools to maintain and repair equipment or buying a laptop and wanting to be proficient with it. Don’t get me started on companies making their software proprietary, that’s b.s. but tools are tools. The guy with the horses and mules probably didn’t want to learn how to wrench but he did and was better for it.

Well said.
No GoPros were harmed making this video. Pete, I think I can say that you’ve nailed the art making great episode. Certainly brightens my day. Cheers mate 🇬🇧
Moo-moos, Farmalls, and manure... doesn't get any better than that!! Thanks for the upload, Pete!!

Housedresses are tailored frocks that can be stylish, and were worn around the house to do chores. Moo Moos are more like nightgowns.
I'm very grateful to see the New Idea spreader pressure washed. Make no mistake about it: that machine can last another 100 years with good care like that. Thank you, Peter.
Pete, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for the video
Thank you for taking the time to video for us. Yes, I like to watch pressure washing 👍
WOW, the immediate start-up was amazing. New equipment has too many gadgets to seize up over winter. Pete, we really enjoy your laid-back videos plus the corney jokes are fun.
Happy cows, spreading manure, tractors that start on first pull. Life is truly Good on A Few Acres
Any morning you post a video is a good morning!
All the cows drinking made me smile. Thanks for posting and have a great day.
Good morning Pete! I stole one of your tricks for fly control with my cattle. The fly paper above the water trough...it's working better than I could have expected. Thanks for the tips and tricks.
Bright sunshine and 19 degrees in northern NH. A great day to cut firewood. I hope you and Hil have a fabulous day, Pete!

Now there is a man that really loves to spread manure.😊 You have some great looking equipment..!
In Australia we have a company that sells mulch. The mulch is called Who Flung Dung. (Answer: Pete… 🤣). It’s sold in our big box store, Bunnings. Cheers to you Pete & Hilarie! Lovely to see your beautiful cattle drunk on the spring grass! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌾🌿🌾

In china it’s who flung poo
Good day to all, peace. Pete, I like the 'fine wine' references, as you spread goodness over the land.
Pete, I just love your manure spreading videos. They are almost as calming as your haying videos.
Ahh, coffee, cows and dung flingin. Thanks Pete!
Just a man, his tractor, a manure spreader, and a beautiful day.
Great to see your machines in action. Clean starts go with your detailed and methodical rebuilds. Plus contented cattle; what more could you want. Thank you for posting best from the UK. Ford country here!
When I was much younger I used an H to spread the poop . Yep it didn’t get much better . Great video Pete , thanks for making my day better
Pete, when you ran over your camera you had a sh--- eating smile on your face! LOL

Spearing the smell of spring with style, I like it! Have a great day everyone
Pressure washing, cows munching, poop flying, 86 cameras angles, music, a bad joke (that took me a little longer than I’ll admit to apprehend), and especially the MD. We love it all! A day in the life… Thank you.
So calming and fun to watch the cows enjoying the sun and green grass . 😍 It’s funny we live in a rural area and there are cows literally next door . But here we are watching videos of cows and farming. Hello from California.
No one will believe I've been run over by a manure spreader! Thanks, Pete.

Wait! What? Thanks for running me over with a manure spreader? Some people.....
It's always nice to fling poo with you on such a beautiful day!
Nice time of the year for the cattle. Fresh grass, great weather, no little ones to worry about just yet, and best of all, no flies!
Good morning Pete…your videos always make me smile. ❤
My daughter, a 40 year old high school teacher, decided her favorite summer activity is helping her father-in-law by driving a tractor and discing his wheat fields. She’s going to love your channel.

Yeah, I bet that tractor time gave her a sense of peace!😊
Another beautiful day on the farm. Love the jokes. Have a great day Pete.
Hey Pete, Craig from Lees Summit, Mo. I’ve said it before, the MD is my FAVORITE tractor of all your tractors! The idea of starting it on gas and then switching over to diesel just amazes me!!
Love your sense of humor! The colors of the blue sky, red tractor, manure spreader, and the green grass were so vibrant and down right picturesque. 😊👍😊😁
It’s amazing to see what spring does to people. Your ear to ear smile says it all! Thanks Pete.
You're getting warmer, whilst we get cooler down here. Thanks again Pete.
Thanks Pete. The three best moments are the camera falling over into the grass, seeing the underside of the spreader, and getting concerned when you were making a compost ball.
Something to be said for simpler equipment. Helps bring me peace of mind to use my older tractors . Reminds me of simpler times. Thanks Pete
I think that was your best joke yet.
Love seeing the MD out working, it's one gorgeous tractor. The look on your face retrieving your camera was priceless. Thanks for the video as always Pete.
Pete - Brings back a lot of memories of running a manure spreader just like that one only pulling it with a Farmall H. Sure wish we had a front end loader to load with. We had to fork every load out of a bank barn and into the spreader! That kind of work is what made men in those days. Thanks!
Love watching your channel keeps me occupied every day. Being disabled it keeps me from being so down and depressed thank you and Mrs Hilary for such great content
Loved thr trip of spreading this year. good day for it too. Granny 93 Oregon USA
Great video as always thanks again and God bless you and your family and your friends mates
Pleasure to watch your channel. Most of the others on Facebook or KZread want stars or donations to feed their animals or support their homestead. Your opposite of them Pete, you show how to farm the smarter and more economical way plus you have the greatest helper that of course is your wife. Calming to watch you channel, thank you sir.
Just a happy man spreading manure & enjoying life.
Good Morning Pete! Great way to start the day!
Great video. Cows seem like sweet little doggies. Love the drone shots! Thanks!
I'm just a bit envious watching today, really miss those days when I was younger. I've seen articles about how badly cattle are treated on some farms and I guess there's always some out there but I hope there's not as many as some would like us to believe. I think you cows just wanted to hang out with you today. It's obvious their well taken care of. Can't get much better than a day like this one. Your living the good life, a lot of work but sooooo rewarding !
Nice aerial footage, Pete. The turn was done perfectly! The drone almost got zapped by the flying cheese! Lol!
I once had 40 acres, my favourite pastime after 12 hour shifts in a nursing home, was driving the tractor with the mower attached up and down the rows of Olive trees....you really made me smile. Thank you so much for that.
That MD is a beauty. Loved this video.
Pete you are just priceless! You look away and make a comment then slowly look back up as your eyes twinkle with mischief with that t cheeky grin of yours always makes me laugh. No matter the subject of the day you know it will be something to make you laugh, groan, learn, make you stop and think but most importantly it will be enjoyable as you share what you love doing. Oh.. darn I almost forgot to include the jokes (yep this is where the groan but laughter comes in to play).😁
Your joke today was pretty good....nice to have a chuckle first thing in the morning with my cup of wake up coffee😅
As always, masterful camera work. Your videos always take me back to growing up on our farm. Thanks Pete.
Manure spreading looks so relaxing!
Oh boy cows are loving that new grass
Still my favorite channel. Thanks Pete.
Really like the way you take care of your equipment. The MD looks good rolling across the green fields👍👍
I envision you and Henry running both spreaders in the future. And your father running the loader! That would be EPIC! Or maybe even your children running all three? That would be even MORE EPIC! I love all of your tractors. The older the better.
When I first turned your video on, I got distracted by my dog. I heard you talking and I said to myself "who is he talking to." Then I realized it was the cows. 😂😅 what a day I've had. I had to chuckle! Awesome videos as always. Thank you
What a nice video for my Thursday morning. All of my manure is spread. I still have yet to clean out my spreader. But the ole IH 75 still gets the job done even if it takes a little longer. Someone on KZread said I should slow down a little and enjoy the process 🤔. Best advice I’ve had in a long time.
Seeing happy cows just warms your heart
A few years ago, I would call crazy someone that would say that I will be watching and enjoying manure spreading video. Heck, here I am totally enjoying it. Love your video Pete. Keep them coming. Can't wait to see the cattle newborn.
Good Morning Pete.
Hay pete always a pleasure to see you work with your oldschool tractors love the way you stick to the oldschool way of wondering your fields with your old restored equipment thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family
It's a fine expression of affection for your equipment and your craft that you washed your tractor before using it to spread manure. :)
Yes we like -reassure washing is great, great results, and nothing is worst then rust dirty from equipment.
Great video Pete, love the interaction between you and your cows. I am a collector of IH farm equipment. And every bit of it needs restoration. I have lot tractor attachments all IH, Tractor wise I have a Farmall AV, a 140 and two Farmall cubs, 7 Cub cadets, 1948 IH KB5, numerous hay processing equipment, IH milk/cream separator . I love your restoration videos, and the only new tractor I own is TYM 574 . The old girls couldn’t handle the abuse of clearing the Homestead.
What's funny is that my uncle was an IH dealer for many years in western Kansas and he always told me that he would stand behind anything that he sold except for the Manure Spreaders!!! 😂
Pete, you are our pied piper of pooh. Love the sound of the MD and Super C when they are working.
The Art-Deco grillwork on those classic tractors are pieces of art. I'd buy one to put on the wall.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and you just get the urge to kick the crap out of a wagon.
That’s gotta be satisfying to hear those tractors start up flawlessly. A reminder of a job well done.
Even everyday old chores can be refreshing for us. Thank you.
Just another boring Comment (not video) to say thank you again Pete. Not sure what it is but your videos are the best medicine for these interesting times . Hope you are as happy as you make us feel. Please keep it up.

Pete, the MD looks fantastic. You did a great job on the rebuild. Thank you
Just love you Pete. You and your family are special. Isn't it great to see the spring summer coming. Yes those are happy cows. And pretty smart. Looking forward 2 years garden time. You'll be getting the chicks out soon. What a great time there going to have. Love ya😊
The fact that you wash your tractors shows the pride you get when your rebuild something. Makes all of the hard work and money worth every penny!
Pete you are an excellent cinematographer and a great comedian .thank you for the videos .😊😊😅😂
Nothing like watching and listening, to cows or horses drinking clean, fresh water! Looked like a fun day on the farm, and, you got some good work done. Thanks, Pete!
Spreading manure and plowing are my 2 favorite jobs on the farm. The old equipment is still the best. I made a pretty huge upgrade this winter though, bought a tractor from 1976!
Good morning Mr Pete and cows 😊 just a quick hello and I caught one of all those smiles you threw about😅. The spreading is a wonderful sign of spring and there's a peace about it 🙏. See you next time, be well 🦅🪶🔥
Gives new meaning to a crappy day....love your videos☺️
I just bought my husband a pressure washer for Father's Day. He's going to love it, I think.
You put a smile on my face every time I watch a new video of your farm activities. Thank you.
Beautiful emerald green pasture! I love you care so well for the land and your herd. Blessings to you Pete.
When I visit my friends I just tell them to do what they would normally be doing and I will watch maybe help a little .Best day ever.
A fundamental truth! Pete spreads manure for the benefits provided. Politicians spread manure for detriment it creates. We require more Pete’s and fewer career politicians. Pete keep on reminding us what life should look like!
My Dad always had a manuer pile just next to the corrals. The cattle loved it. It was warm and with snow mud it was dry. They loved laying on it
Pressure washing channels are 100% a thing. 'Cabin on the hill' does such work, it's really satisfying to watch.
Always enjoy ,thanks peace…
Thanks for sharing the video Pete. Enjoy watching the equipment working.
You always look like you are having fun and you explain it well.
Thanks for the smiles
Pop the can! Pop the can!! Love yall Pete from east Tx
The wife and I appreciate all the hard work you do on the farm and videos. With very little to watch on t.v. anymore, we look forward to your videos. Thanks for all your effort.
