Maybe Plan D Will Work? Cab Back On Tractor
Spring is in the Air! New baby chicks and Spring flowers are have appeared.
Today the guys are putting the cab back on the Agco Challenger tractor.
It takes some planning and changing of plans to get everything to line up.
Thanks for watching!

Mighty job getting the cab back on the Challenger Everyone👌👍🙏🙂
Very Good Video. Thank you.
Congrats on a safe successful installation of the Challenger cab!! That's some heavy duty fixing with brilliant brain power 🎉
The cab is back on and everyone still has all their fingers l would call that a win! 👍👍
Rhonda you have such a blessed family your boys are amazing in the way they work with Dad. I hope you know that. I only wish there were a world of families like yours, ❤️what a truly better world this would be. The respect, kindness, and love you all have for each other is amazing and it is clearly evident. You and Kevin have done a wonderful job. Sending prayers to you all for a great year 2024.🙏🏻

Hi, Ronda! Happy Sunday and Happy St. Patrick's Day!😊😊😊😊😊😎☀💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙🌷💖💖💖💖💖🍀🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇👍.
Hi Farmers Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘🍀🌳
Sometimes it works well to use a strap with a ratchet, you can tighten or loosen it as needed to balance each side
MCKenzie is Fun and Glad she was Over for a Visit and some Good Corned Beef & Cabbage. Top of the Day to the Hardest Working Dairy Farmers in Michigan. 👍🙏
Another Great Video!
Mckenzie is a hoot. She might not be a mechanic but when it comes to gardening and haircutting and soapmaking she's a pro.
Hi Rhonda, Blessings to you and your family. I always enjoy seeing the guys working so well together. Pray you all are well as you move towards another year
BUSY FAMILY! GOOD TO SEE!
Nicely done! You guys work well together. If my sons and I were putting that cab back on I can only imagine the arguments.
Don't forget corn beef and cabbage to honor st. Patty 😊
When I used to remove the cabs and reinstall cabs on John Deere tractors they had two bolts receiving nuts up there on top of the cab made it easier I wish Challenger did that.

My son in law made an attachment for his forks that slid into the bottom frame slot of JD Sound Gard cab. Lifted as pretty as a picture.
that was exiting ,probably the best all round video you have done . your family are awesome
I love to see a Dad and his sons working together!!! Before my Dad got Promoted to Glory, we worked together all the time!!! This video brought back a lot of wonderful memories and for that I thank you !!!! Remind everyone to be safe and God bless you all !!!! Eddy
Happy St Pat's day. Another nice video. Team work makes memories
Your guys are so talented
Happy St Patrick’s Day!!! Love all the things you and your family do around the farm.
Happy St. Patrick's Day !! And a Blessed Sunday!!

Hi folks!! Nice to get that cab back on - not an easy job!! Have a nice week! 😀
your guys amaze me every time!! good going bet you will be happy to have it on line again
Morgan county Indiana has up and down weather all winter .but spring is coming .
Video good as always very good mechanical skills You have a very beautiful family your friend from Virginia.
You’re Lucky on the Farm to have a Plan D because most other people Don’t have that many Other Options. 😬👍🙏
Nice family😊
Happy St Pats Day. Glad no one hurt with cab reinstall. 😊
A family that can put a cab back on stays together. Hahah. Great work all
Nice to see the entire family all together. Kenzie can't resist baby animals can she? With the Challenger on the mend, hopefully spring field work will be easier. Frost on the way again this week, but the plants my dad put in are easily covered. Have a blessed week, stay safe and warm.
Great video Ronda,really enjoyed watching all the progress, it was great seeing Ms.Kenzie again, I have been wondering how she's doing. Nice to see Sanders make a short appearance there at the end.
Hi Rhonda and family, I wish you happy St-Patrick day. It’s soooo nice to see you guys working all together with no stress. It’s nice to see Makenzie coming over to the family farm visiting you guys. Finally the cab is back on the Challenger. When you start getting your gardens ready for the season, I’ll send your videos to my daughter to give her ideas for gardening. She’s what’s to try making caning this year “homestead”. Excuse my English it’s not very good. See you guys in the next video. 😊
Be careful...alot of farm accidents occur taking chances or taking things for granted, be safe!
You all really do a lot of mechanical work on your equipment, good to see. That cab was not easy, but Kevin and the boys got it back on, good job. I'm always astonished at how much they do, surely inspiring. Enjoyed watching, I hope you all have a fantastic week!
What a Beautiful Family!! I just Love you guys!! Great job on the re-assembly of that cab!! Very smart to re-do all the Hydraulic lines while you can!!!
Blessed family!
🙏❤️
Nice family team work, there well done Rhonda
With all that machinery . . . I would have pushed the tractor outside, put the cab on and pushed it back in . . . I am sure you all would have thought of that. Love the mom teasing the boys, never gets old. Cheers.
Plan B.... Plan B..... Plan B... Too funny. It is so good to see young men who know how to work. You did good Mom and Dad.
You guys should drill holes in the ends of your forks back away from the edge and center on your forks as stopping pins so you can hook things without falling off the end. A couple of bolts and washer or two and you have some nice removable stops on your forklift forks.

That would weaken the hardened steel. Something Kevin isn't willing to do.
I like the faith family flag freedom sweater one of the boys had on !!👍👌
Enjoyed your video, great job on the tractor
wonderful video had all the elements. had me on the edge of my seat. and kinsey is looking very well and happy
Hello Kevin, Ronda ,Sidney , Ethan , Sanders And Mackenzie and all!!!
I could ask a bunch of questions but Kevin is used to having too many questions. That is always impressive the way that you all pitch in to get the job done. . . . Those chicks will be growing in no time. We are going back to winter weather in a few days in Calgary, Alberta. Take care.

Truck runs almost except for the engine. Just a minor deail. The boys all gettting thier ears lowered which in farmer lingo for they're getting a hair cut. Good price on the chicks. Anytime they're's a sale the girls will find it. Nice Video of the Spring in he air.

February was the 2nd Warmest in 100+ years in St. Louis. Had 86 degree day about 2 weeks ago in early March. Winter was almost Nonexistent this year. 🤔👍
Hello there. It's so good to see yous working together and getting another job done and ready for the next.
good to see ol yellow back in action
Good projects.
THANKS!
Sweet daughter to cut her family's hair.
I know what the problem was,.....Mabel and Pinto were not there to Supervise?!?! (Ha!Ha!) Glad everything worked out, and no one was injured. Looking forward to seeing videos of the Challenger in the field working.

Looks like you guys needs some new front tires on your red tractor
When my wife would cut our hair at home she called it kitchen beautician time. The catch was I had to clean up the hair and mop the floor. 🤣🤷🏻♂️
Don’t think I ever held my breath that long on other video lol.I love ❤the way your family works together. Btw miss McKenzie.❤
Hi Ronda, Great video. I have Daffodils Blooming too, but we're not done with winter just yet. There's at least one or two more rounds of cold and snow heading our way. Thank you for the time you spend and the interests you share it's always good to see what's going on around the farm. I'm glad the guys are getting the Challenger back together. Way too often a farm tractor has a way of sitting a little too long and interest in it gets lost. It gives birth the the term "barn find" if you know what I mean. OK, FB, Thanks again and we'll watch for the next video. ben/ michigan

Nice job Need a creeper gear to do that kind of loader work
i took a picture of the first daffodil bloom on March 4th. i think i had one bloom open on one on the south side of the house before we had snow on the 27th of February. that didn't stay and was gone that afternoon. I'm glad the cab is set back on without any damage. Sydney knows not to offer any wise words just before a dangerous situation. in military basic training, they just start in the back and go up over the top in about six passes and leave you with hair short enough that your tee shirt catches on the stubble. done in about a minute. one of the guys was bald except nine hairs and he got charged full price. they only cut his once but the rest of us got two more in the six weeks.
Kenzyyy you funnnyyy!!!!!! lol
Bumper vlog Ronda hope yous have bumper crops 2024
This has been the warmest winter on record. Ever
I agree the weather this winter has been abnormal! Even here in Ireland!! BUT as my late father always said "Nature always balances and we may pay for it yet!" I might be a very dry and hot summer now!! And a Happy St Patrick's Day from over here in Ireland!! Many thanks for your fantastic videos!!
Good you got that cab back on, but wouldn't it have been easier to pull the Challenger outside on a nice day as this? Yes it has turned back to more of March weather here. Cornish Cross yum, yum

My guess is the tractor is a newer electrical shift so it’s stuck in park till it’s running and the cab on. That’s another advantage to the older stuff, just pop it outta gear and she’ll roll
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Ronda I am hoping you and the family have a blessed day 😊😋. Say hello to everyone from me
lol you got sunshine so it would have saved you a lot of hassle if you had pulled the challenger outside the shed
Ingegnosi per trovate sempre idee per sistemare e aggiustare complimenti 👍⭐⭐⭐
Ronda? Wouldn’t it have been easier to pull the Challenger out of the shop, that way you may have had more room to get the cab over the rear tires?
Oi 💪💪💪💪✌️✌️🚜🚜🚜
Putting the cab back on looked a bit difficult, this family stepped up to the plate and got it done as always.
Wow that was an interesting video. Those chicks should be ready to process by the first week of may? I usually never even got mine until the 3rd week of May. It is great when the kids grow and stay interested in the farm.

Yes, I'm starting the 1st group early this year. I might do 2 groups again.
For cheap safety sake switch from the heat lamp to a brooder heat plate. We did because of fire danger. A side effect ,the chicks were much more calm in nature with brooder heat plate.We did 6 batches of 50+ birds last year. We will not use a heat lamp anymore.

Thank you for your comment!! Heat lamps always concern me. With 50 chicks, how many heat plates do you use?
So the "oats" are growing? I really think it is to soon and think cold weather will hit again..Let me know im curious.

Lol, "not on the top" or "knot on the top"????😀
Would get 100 chicks every year years ago
Some air in the tires, and it will be all good,-
thank you

Did they have that much trouble taking the cab off?

This might be a dumb question Rhonda, but if the cadets in neutral couldn't they just pull it outside to set the cab on?
