At 3:46, Lilly's hair is gorgeous! High Five Lilly!!!

Just realized Lilly is really growing. I really like her attitude. I wish Mr Clueless BROWN would get involved a little more with the chores. He always seems to eating his whatever outside(maybe thats how he gets away from doing chores. LOL

I ran multiple pumping stations with emergency generators from Cummins. We had automatically controlled monthly test runs on many of the units to exercise them. Put a clip board and a pen or pencil by the generator and keep track of your generator hours. Once a month or whenever you lose power, check out the hour meter and record the hours ran. Remember the first rule of complicated operations- if you didn't record it, it didn't happen. Keep maintenance logs, they can save thousands of dollars in service calls and repairs. Or you young guys can record things on your phone. As long as you don't lose your phone once a year by dropping it into places that you can't retrieve it from. Which I did more times than I want to admit.🤬

Justin, you have the perfect temperament/patience. And I'm sure your children are picking up on it and will model after you. Best wishes for you for your surgery.

19:35 just look at Jonah listening and learning ---so beyond what most young men his age would be doing. He's absorbing everything, it appears.

Hi Justin, little tip for good running of your ''Genny'' always keep it's fuel tank as full as you can, if you leave space in the tank after it has been running you will get condensation in top of the tank, this will give you issues in the freezing winter with the possibility of water forming in your fuel. As for you running it regularly, run it for one hour on the first day of each month, put a prompt on your computer . . #haveasafeday

Justin so often the edits kinda glamorize farm life. You keeping a schedule, really puts the WORK in working farm in perspective. Thankful for you and your resources. :)

Congrats on the generator Justin.....really liked the episode with Joel.

I have my Dad's hose Nozzle from the 1960's. It works perfectly! However the ones I buy every year with all the bright fancy colors and nozzle modes are great. But they always break easily and send me a trotting back to the big box Lowe's store for more. Wonder if that's intentional??? 🤣🤣🙏😊❤

I've noticed you really have to pull hard on the luchadore's cage when moving it. Could contribute to your back injury. Would a different wheel system (larger) not help?

Lilly is such a good helper, you may not realize it but her confidence level will be thru the roof. And her Papa will always have her back, Donald learned that lesson.

Loading the sheep- try turning off the tractor until they are in.

Lily is a fantastic helper and resource!

G ma saves the day yet again ! She knows she saw that in the pig bowl and she cooks dinner ! I want her to be my G Ma 😍😂

Can’t explain it but felt joy throughout this video. Thank you.

Between the dog yapping and the tractor running I am amazing they came up there at all. Every time it got close one of the kids moved and scared them. Gotta love sheep

You and Jonah need walkie talkies to communicate across the farm! LOL

I got a Generac 17KW, natural gas, whole house generator 10 years ago - best money I've ever spent! Congrats on your giant acquisition...such peace of mind in today's 'ifffy' grid utility suppliers, with the extreme weather conditions in ARkansas.

Thank you Cummins! I didn’t know you made backup generators. I wish I lived in NC. I put in to get my home evaluated for a backup generator too. We’re in the country & lose power every other month. Thanks Justin as always for your videos that make my day complete. I love watching your family. I watched some of your older videos. Wow your sweetie kids have grown so much!

We had one installed last year, the best thing we did. Totally automatic, love it!

you would not believe the amount of kitchen knifes and peelers that landed in my grandmas compost 🤣 every year when i helped grandpa open the compost and all the surprises we would find was like easter in november

Precious calf. Just want to hug her.

The shakey soap is good on gardens andcfeild because it breaks down the natural oils in dirt that wont let water be soaked down in dirt and doesnt sit on top of dirt

I know that is a load off your mind with the generator in place. Congrats!! I've wondered about solar powered generators. Love the name Polly!

A mobile stanchion makes sense to me. You have your water hooked up anyway... put a nozzle on the hose to clean off any mess... any compost futures can be shoveled right where you want them to be. That is 2 less chores a day... bringing them in and taking them back out. You can always build a more sturdy one later if you find it works... like some metal fencing welded together some how if you only knew a welder... hahaha. You could put a hitch on it... throw your watering system and hoses in it and move it all at once simplifying the whole process. It would mean a ramp... but ramps are not hard.

So glad I don't have smellavision for that "treasure"hunt! 😂

Congratulations on your Awesome Generator!!! And also Congratulations on naming your new baby calf Polly♡♡♡ She's Adorable ♡♡♡ We're Praying everything goes Great with your surgery ♡♡♡ GOD BLESS EVERYONE ♡♡♡ Have A Beautiful Blessed Peaceful Evening ♡♡♡ GOD IS SO GOOD♡♡♡

Maybe you should consider asking Jonah to build the frame for the mineral containers. He seems to enjoy woodworking.

polly is so beautiful

Where the bent water pipe comes up, since you have to dig it up, would you be able to put in multiple hose bibs? Seems like a high use area that could use more access points.

I want to visit your farm so much! We don't even live that far!!!!♥️ East Tennessee

Back up generators are just smart. Granted they’re pricey for most folks but I’ve been saving myself to get one installed. My old man got one a few years back and it’s definitely come in handy.

Yeah Cummins!

Do you have a temp monitoring system for your refers and freezers? All laboratories and other critical coolers have alert systems.

I’ve been thinking about a portable milking trailer for some time. You can buy a small utility trailer to pull behind sally build a stantion on it. Maybe use some of that plastic roofing you use for the chickens for a roof over it. Maybe a hinged ramp that you can fold up when you move it. Just an ider

I love Grandma. Is the soap a concentrated like Dawn or is it a thinner type? I just couldn’t imagine putting that much dawn in those 50 ga tubs.

If you're looking for a mobile milking solution, might be worth looking into Swedish Homestead's solution. IIRC he built a mobile milker.

You seem to have fairly "reliable" power for being rural, Justin. It's never convenient, so I'm super-glad you were able to get the generator. Did Aaron give you a ballpark for the number of years of service that you could expect for the generator?

Can't decide if I like this vid. Justin losing stuff stresses me out as much as it does when I cant find things!

Hey Justin how do you homeschooling your kids?

Now have plenty of fuel for maybe months.

Putting in the effort to beef that faucet up any way you can is going to be worth it since you'll have it dug up anyhow.

Did you have to get your refrigerator fixed again? I had a refrigerator just like yours and it would need repair every time there was a power outage!

I know it works for you , but that noise! I would do everything I could to avoid having that near my house. But then, I have always hated loud noises, and I am not sure of what the alternative might be. I would hunt the world to find one though!

Currently saving for a property and this has me sold on investing in a generator... I would give them my business but sadly I don't think they do service in Maryland

Hi

a mobile station, you will need a roof in the case of showers

Stuff always breaks in threes.

@KelikakuCoutin

4 жыл бұрын

What if it were some trees? Then would three trees break in three places, or would just one tree break three times? If it did, then would that mean then that, three trees break in three threes? Also, what if it were instead of trees, three bees? Would then, that mean, that, three bees break three trees, in three bees? That could be just terrible. Especially if it happened while you were drinking tea.

you should let it run but all that should be automated - you do want to use it the minimum - with proper care it will last forever with minimal maintenance - if you go solar and batteries you can say goodbye to the nasty diesel or just keep it as an exotic liability - the world has already moved on - everything is going electric - even backhoes definitely not the sustainable choice but reliable and that does count for a lot

make sure you have proper lightning protection, think about road building to facilitate woodlot management and the pigs - if you give them tons of space it will work but i would do the footwork first - making roads and 15 more acres of fields, rock removal, plowing, cow manure and compost, cover crops, pollinator strips, native strips. the hogs will do much better with lower maintenance in a mixed environment - think about some goats too. plant 5 apples trees in the middle of each paddock/field mix in a few nut trees - do a grape arbor #formulas

That runs pretty quiet.

Why are you always calling for the water to be turned on at a distance? Why not a closer off/on?

im confused why he keeps calling it a Cummins generator instead of an Onan 🤔
