My husband is retired and loves to work outside most of the day. He always says, "if you ever wonder what I'm doing, I am more than likely looking for something."😁

Impressed how your channel keeps growing. For me it's the connection to history, and your positive attitude.

My wife is like yours anytime there’s work to be done outside she is right out there helping me.

This is right around the time last year I found your channel. Congrats to our 1 year Pete! ❤️🐮🥩

Happy anniversary!

That smell before rain and a barnyard are my most favorite smells!

Oh, yes, the smell of summer rain:)))

It takes a good man to manage his junk just right!

I love all the old equipment it's the best ..

I always say to myself, I'm going to put this where I'm going to remember. As to be told never can remember or find it. Let's join that club Pete. Great video.

What gets me is that I remember where I last found it but not where I decided to keep it so it doesn't get lost again. Why is that?

I like the "if it ain't leaking oil, it doesn't have oil" approach to things

Cut, wilt, graze. Now I know what I did last weekend is called. Our steers wouldn’t eat the tall grass in the little pasture and it was headed for going to seed. So I got out there with the 9n and bush hog and cut it high. The boys were on it before I made the second pass. And here I thought I had made a new discovery....

I was hoping for one of your videos today Thanks for posting it , it's the highlight of the day .

Pete, I think you just solved a mystery for me regarding my Oliver 88....I normally shut the sediment bowl off as well, but left it on a couple days ago, and went to start the 88. I experienced the exact same scenario as you here in the video....Flooded, and finally fired belching black smoke. Thanks!!! I am disgusted with these cheap carburetor parts these days....The quality just isn’t there anymore!! Have a great day Pete!! And Happy Memorial Day to you and your family!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@JustaFewAcresFarm Pete, I have done some business with Mark’s Carburetor and Magneto services, in Rice, MN Ph. 320-393-7272 The kit I put in this 88 didn’t come from Mark, but the next one will! He builds his own kits for most makes/models, including properly cut gaskets. I truly enjoy your videos!!!

On finding stuff: back in the late 1980's when I got married, the wife would come home from work & her keys would go in one spot, her purse in another her cigarettes in another, her lighter in another, then she would get to the kitchen & ask me if I saw her lighter. It took me years to train her to put stuff in the same place.

Happy haying!

Love the smell of rain, and napalm in the Morning, always go 4 the juggler first..👍😁🧡💚💛🚜

Very nice looking 504 Farmall , back in the 60's I had a lot of hours in the seat of a 504

It has been my experience that when you can't find something just go buy or make a new one, just about guarantee the old one will show up within a day or two LOL

Love your videos , many greetings from a small farmer in Belgium Europe .

Clamp your piece of angle iron to the outside of the cylinder. Always be there when you need them.

At least my 5th-6th video of yours today. Still watch them all over and over.

My husband and I were just talking about how it can take forever to get the job done because you end up spending so much time fixing or searching for something, that your tired before you even start!

There you go Pete, you just taught me another lesson. I have been making those tight turns with my haybine and didn’t know that would be an issue. I knew that it put stress on the U joints but I didn’t know to what extent until I saw what happened to you. This is why I enjoy watching your channel because I learn a lot.

Watching you cut for the cows is like watching a cooking show on Television.

Your videos make us feel apart of your daily life. Look forward to them daily.

Hillary is the coolest chick on KZread! What a treasure! Nice going!

Looks like some good projects for Henry's summer! 😁🐒😁

My nephew has 2 little boys. They have barn words that they can only say out in the barn and not around their mama. Do you have barn words Pete? Days like you’ve had today, I can do without. Tomorrow will be better! Your day in NY looks like our day here in Oklahoma. Humid and hot. Thunderstorms building. In fact we’ve got a tornado watch here in Cherokee County.

P.ete, you make me feel good! I thought I was the only one that couldn’t find things!

Very nice Pete..I have a question: Has Hill been a farm girl all her life or just since she met you? She always seems to be right on her game helping you and taking care of things. I give a double thumbs up to her and wish you and your family a great Memorial Day!

My Nearly six year old great grandson is watching with me, he likes the man who tells jokes, and he said you could make a robot out of all your atuff

Hi Pete, I enjoy your videos tremendously so thanks very much for sharing your life with us! That rain smell you speak of is called petrichor! I have a farm in Zimbabwe & during the dry season we don't get rain for about 8 months of the year & when the rains finally do come the smell is absolutely amazing & all & sundry are excited & happy! Keep up the great work - much love and respect from zimbabwe 🇿🇼

The cows are quiet when you move them. Mouths full. Surprised how they don't seem to move out of the way of the haybine. :-)

Funny, at the beginning of the video I kept thinking if he would tell us what he’s looking for, I could help look and tell him when found!

Back for another visit with you! Awesome Vid and great content as always!🧑‍🌾🇨🇦👨‍🌾

You and your family are hard working great people buddy thanks for sharing wish more people was like that

As a child I was on a farm for quite a time and my grandfather had a dairy. Your farm feels like many breaths of fresh air. Today, especially the comment about the fresh air ahead of a storm.

Liked all the MD videos, but nice to see you back outside!

Hi Pete you're one hell of a dude love watching your videos

Every time I see that tractor you're working on I think you should call it the then and now tractor. Thanks for the videos and we know it hasn't been easy making your KZread channel a success it is easy to see way it is a success. Thanks again and farm on sir.

Excellent video Pete :) & Hilary :) on family farm daily job to do and excellent talk about! Yes have seen my share of PTO break down too!

Hello Pete Hillary. Reminds me I have to go find that too lol. How much time is spent each year looking for something that you know you have but where is it. Enjoy the rain have a good day.

You could always drill a couple holes in your angle iron and hang them up on a nail on the wall so you know where they’re always are going to be when not in use

The life of a farmer...one adventure after another...

As always, good information.

We have 3 1090 heston haybines and a pt 10 just in case all heck breaks loose and our old tractor fleet has grown to 5 again just in case

Pete, always look forward to your videos coming out, makes a great break during the day and can't wait to see what you do next. Have a great Memorial Day weekend...smoke up some B-B-Q ribs and chicken, I'm pretty sure you will be able to find some locally! lol

Excited to see hay season videos. We are still waiting on a break in the weather to start here in WV. The grass is ready but weather isn’t.

I like your bombing ranges because they look like mine and it make me feel like home.

I love that rain smell.

Might be a good idea to compare all of your drive shafts and see how many are the same and buy a certain number of u-joints and have them on hand for emergencies.

Another great video, when I used to have my cows grazing are used to run my zero turn mower out there and mow strips just like you were talking about and I also found that the cows would hurry on over and eat up that cut grass way faster then they would what was standing all around it. I didn’t realize that was an actual method I was just doing it to keep the parameters around the electric wire cleared and from grounding out and I would also do strips throughout the paddocks. Now I have a KZread channel just on my backyard gardening since we sold the farm in 2018

Pete, need to drill you a hole in each of those loader cylinder stops and find you a place to pin those on the loader frame or the tractor so they’re handy!

I ran a old woods mower that was loaded with U-joints, it would eat them up with along with the rider bearing blocks. Fixed the problem with rubber bungy cords very rarely ever lost one after that.

Your videos are some of the most entertaining and educational parts of my day, thanks.

I’m from Vancouver Island Canada and my husband and I just love watching you and your wife. Congrats on your plaque from you tube

I have a 478 new holland that I'm using for the first time this year.And have a pt -10 Hesston 10 foot cut.Enjoy your videos.

Hi Peter & Hillary. Love watching these videos and catching up with what's going on on your farm. Be well.

My dad put two horns on his chore tractor; one sounds like a cow to herd them and the other is an old ooga horn to get them to move out of the way. My grandfather put the ooga horn on in the 50s off his old Jeep.

7:18 cows having a good time on the left.😂

I’m exhausted watching this. I love your stuff and the skill you have in keeping the old machinery going but good lord, so much time spent wrenching, fixing, finding stuff. Maybe get one modern low maintenance tractor, a couple of implements made in this decade and get some work done without breaking down. And organize the junk. But I’ll keep watching. Great stuff.

This episode is why I like this channel - I just purchased a Tractor with FEL and was wondering how to disconnect the hydraulics so I could pick something up at the back. Problem solved.

To prevent scratching the hydraulic rams when you put your angle iron spacers you should place split piece of hose around the ram firs to prevent metal to metal contact

Thanks for the video. I appreciate the time you take to do it. Makes for a fun part of my night. Keep em commin

The Number one thing that you are is methodical. I’d like to think that I’m kind of the same. Blowing out U joints? Man that just sucks. What a pain. Sometimes things go to plan. Excellent video Pete.

All this knowledge should be mandatory curriculum for high schoolers everywhere.

@@TUGG75Have you taken into account the growing regenerative movement? The number of farmers like Pete is growing, because people demand it and will pay for it. Maybe there will be more robotic mega-farms, but there also might be more people willing to buy quality food from small farmers. I am guessing that small farmers would use robots if it pencils out financially.

It's funny you are going to replace some univeral joints, after dinner I'm going to try to replace a u joint on the Ford 907 flail mower we have.

This is amazing! We just, like literally yesterday signed the PNS for a farm in VT. It’s 220 acres and comes with cattle and all the machinery and tractors for haying. I look forward to watching your videos because your farm is just like the one we’re moving too!!

I got to participate in that storm yesterday as well. I had two lightning strikes nearby...I mean very, very close. The white flash and immediate CRACK told me all I needed to know. Got about 2 inches of rain in short order.

Man, I just love watching your videos. It makes me wish I had been born out in the country and It would be great to have you guys as neighbors. Cheers.

That 990 brings back memories we used it with a 624 international baled hay with a 336 John Deere it had a pan thrower

Lol, my cats do the same thing as the cows- they won't get outta the way until yah bump their butts

I enjoyed your video. Lots of variety. And explanation. I Iove the rain too. The little piglets are cute. Nice forage for the cows!

I just want to say that I'm so happy you make videos. I'm a vascular ultrasound tech in upstate NY and recently purchased my own homestead. I don't think I will ever have anything like you have although 28 year old you may have said that same thing. Any case, you entertain me and bring something to the youtube community that is unprecedented. I look forward to visiting you at market someday whenever I make it down towards your area. I'm up near lake george. Be well. Keep the content coming. Love yah man!

Just could watch u r interesting videos all the time! So informative and educational!

Thank you for the videos even the bad jokes

U.joints are very simple to change I put the drive shaft on a vice take off the clips then close vice up just enough to have the joint lay on the vice so both ears are across the jaws of the vice then take a hammer and just hit the knuckle that u.joint is in and when ya hit that down the u.joint pops up and take cap off and the whole joint at that point and put new in and done it's so simple I showed that to a older guy whom was a mechanic and he was going to use a press to do it and he was amazed on how quick I took out the other and put new in ..over all it took about 10mins to do ..so he says I guesse ya can teach old goats new tricks lmao but ya it's a good lil thing to know . godbless and stay safe

Always hate those issues. On the bright side, at least you have the buildings to pull under to service these issues on inclement days! lots of folks unfortunately don't have that luxury. It's rewarding to know how to fix the old stuff, but I know all too well how much of a headache it can be some days when your list is 3 days long and you have 6 hours to do it, then these issues arise. Hopefully the local shop isn't lacking in inventory and has them in stock!

Eh Pete I never took you for the kind of guy that blows joints. Not one but two in a single video. My my. The grass really got your bine in a bind today.

👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! Dad always poured used oil on the sickle bar when he put the mower and combine away and sometimes before using it if it had gotten dry and rusty.

Great video as always I hope the new piglets learn to "Run Run Run" soon man they are so cute!!

Years ago when baling wirh our Case 400, I always disengaged the pot and reengaged when I straightened out. The 400 was great for that since it had a separate clutch. Just push down then up.

That rain smell has a name. Petrichor

Petrichor (pet·ri·core) is the term coined by Australian scientists in 1964 to describe the unique, earthy smell associated with rain. It is caused by the water from the rain, along with certain compounds like ozone, geosmin, and plant oils.

Your cattle are in great order.

Thank you for sharing. 🙃🙂

Mr. Farmer I would highly recommend you oil the chains while the machinery is running......one trusty person on the tractor and you carefully squeeze oil on em from a jug, tends to work better and really soaks

Great video

Send some of that rain south. My peas are dying lol

Can you store the angle irons on the outer casing of the hydraulic cylinder where you had the pipe clamp stored? That way they are always with the tractor.

Thanks for the video! Suggestion: make a mounting on the loader for the angle irons that you're using for the loader prop. *Brilliant idea by the way!*

im allergic to clutter, i would spend all my time on a farm just organizing things.

Hi Pete, here is a german farmers joke for you: A german farmer is visited by his greatuncle from the us. He shows the relative his property and the fields. The american farmer isn´t impressed and says "No match, my fiels are ten times this size" The german farmer shows his pigs. The american farmer: "My pigs are twice the size". They come to the cows and the american farmes says again: "My cows are way bigger". The german farmer now tries a last thing to save his honor. They go to the donkey and he grabs a pole and slaps it on the donkey´s back - yelling: "Those damn rabbits are eating my whole hay"

People don’t see all the things that break and bust and all work grinds to a halt. Imagine if you didn’t have mechanical abilities. Had to take everything to be fixed and how much it would cost. That is probably one of your best qualities. I work with machinery everyday and know just how frustrating it can be even with you doing the maintenance on things it still wears out and breaks.

Pete, I continue to be impressed by your ability to maneuver the tractor/implement and simultaneously capture such well-framed hand-held footage. Thanks for this video!
