Interesting videos. That's my goal. Living on a farm, I have become a jack of all trades, so many will be building, restoring, homesteading, and farming type videos, but I'm not limiting myself in this silly description. I'll post any darn video that I feel like! Of course, I feel like posting interesting ones, so I hope you find them interesting as well! Enjoy!

Perfect example of why I pay people to fix things.
The water I would check the exhaust manifolds if they were not drained they are cracked!
Nothing cleans dirty chains like gasoline and maybe a brush. Especially chainsaw and motorcycle chains. Takes all the sap off bar and chains and also corcular/table saw blades. Any solvent really. But evaporust works great just pricey 4 me lol
Great job! You have got the handling of the equipment down pat!
Another awesome video. Natural cheap technique below: Gley (Glei Ukrainian) seal up a pond with animal excrement. "The Russian/Ukrainian -devised version for dams uses a slurry of animal waste (pig manure) [Duck] applied over the inner base and walls of the dam in multiple, thin layers, which is then itself covered with vegetable organic matter such as grass, leaves, waste paper, cardboard, etc. This is all then given a final layer of soil which is tamped down and the mixture is left for several weeks to allow the (anaerobic) bacteria to complete their task, at which time the dam is ready for flooding." Gley with grass clippings or hay or straw creates a mud with base aggregate like osb Muscovy ducks are omnivores that live in forests and nest in trees. Muscovy ducks can breed up to three times a year, laying up to 28 eggs per clutch. Females lay about one egg per day, and usually leave the eggs unattended until they have finished laying. Muscovy duck eggs take longer to hatch than other duck eggs. Ancona ducks are hardy, adaptable, all-purpose ducks that are excellent foragers and among some of the most climate-hardy birds. They are also known for being calm and have an average lifespan of roughly 10 years. However, they are poor fliers and don't tend to get broody, so the best way to grow a flock is to use an incubator. Ancona ducks are a medium-weight, domestic duck breed with a unique, broken-colored plumage pattern. Their egg color ranges from greenish/blue to white, and they typically lay 210-280 eggs annually Use of Pigs then Ducks is common. Pond Creation Gley On the Cheap Process 1) Find low lying area or wear you want pond 2) Save / relocate any unique plants (Try to save some they are already adapted epigenetics) -Do you need to dig? Does it hold water decently already and is the predicted landscape depth sufficient? -If it doesn’t hold water well, dig as much as you can with farm tractor or shovel -Consider asking a neighboring farmer or hiring dig and/or closing off low area. -If it mostly holds water, get the Ducks. 3) Add Pigs to compact soil down, now that your depth is defined. -1000+ year old technique. -Can take as much as 1-3 years. -Usually this will go deeper at this point. -Gleying is low to moderate. -Add grass clippings, leaves, bamboo, hay, or straw. Creates a mud with base aggregate like osb / cob -Feed in the pond area to increase small particles 4) Happy with compaction? You should have some standing water after rain events. 5) Remove Pigs 6) Add any pipes you want (optional) and re-tamp soil -After pigs or suffer pipe loss to pigs -Water aeration may be wise later if needed = Air Pipe -Pond Drain Pipe -Slow Water Overflow Pipe -Power/ Data (unlikely) -Possible to re-add pigs for short time if you cover pipes or sleeve pipe in another pipe 8) Create a spillway (optional) -not always needed but recommended 9) Add Ducks after rain / water event. Heavy Gleying -Wait till it holds water then go 6 more months 10) Remove ducks. 11) Add water cleaning plants that aren’t root aggressive
The deer will thank you for the grass.
Luv your videos you are so knowledgeable in all things farming and machine repair I live in co kildare ireland and you have a lot of fans here in Ireland keep up the great content
Steve Culvert would be proud ;)
Some have pedals for going backwards. I made an extension for my pedals (Wich looks just like yours) so I can easily back with my heels.
*promo sm*
Thank you - I am new to using a chainsaw and this video is excellent in giving me a head up on issues - what to look for and how to resolve it
Who did the BTU calculations for you? Mr Cool refuse to tell me what to buy, send me to a dealer who want to charge for a unnecessary visit and engineering.(since they won't do the install) All I want is a confirmation that my calculations are correct and I am buying the right stuff. (I am not a KZreadr don't get the stuff for free) so I have all but given up on Mr not so Cool. I should mention that my situation although not complicated, doesn't fit the web site cookie cutter formula. They cool a room (volume) per Sq ft (surface)??
The large end of the pipe should always go up stream. This will increase the capacity of the pipe
THANK YOU!
Crossing 3 has better grass than my front yard :)
I've spent the morning watching blade sharpening videos and yours is the masterclass. Thank you for the time you spent making this.
long video
Man the the price on stuff like that pipe is crazy holy cow wonder if u could make a pipe for less with your know how
With time and persistence, water can create wonderful landscapes and block even the largest pipe. It is very wise of you not to fight against water, but to use it as your ally. Good job John!
Thanks!
i like knoty pine wood i make book shelfs shdowboxes but i like oak as well
Hey jon i know its been a while since u posted this ans I was gonna comment it as soon as i saw you do it but then i thought "well lets see im sure he'll figure it out" and sure enough.. idk if anyone else mentioned this but putting thread tape on temp sending units can cause you not to get a ground(if it was in a metal housing like it normally is on most) , most have a o ring but i normally do tape em, just a few threads and leave most of the threads bare for ground Edit: theyre also very easy to test w a multimeter to see if theyre functioning
I see new piston rings and a cylinder hone as a necessary procedure
Lol I've said it's only temporary a thousand times, and they are still holding up good!
Hold a plumb bob in front of you and look up and down the string to gauge the lean. Do this from several directions. The tree hugger technique is unreliable, especially on slopes. Be sure to estimate limb weight. Many trees favor one side for growth due to crowding or sunlight availability.
500th comment! Geez that's an expensive pipe!!f
Hi just saw the two nissan rogue videos. Your doing gods work. Keep up brother.
Can you not hear the bearing knocking???
Also you probably should change exhaust manifolds every 3 years they may have never been changed
Great job. But might as well change the oil and water pump while you're at it. And probably change the impeller in the outdrive also change the oil in the outdrive. Great job.💪🏾🙏🏾💪🏾🙏🏾
a good place to get rocks if your farm does not have many maybe a friend will let you have a section of his stone pile from under a fence.
I'd replace the window AC with a heat pump window AC like the one from Midea.
Very gratifying.
A Viewer Sent and Gave you a cordless grease gun? Or you paid for it?
Great long term video time line, so we could see the results of the seeding. Looking good. Thanks for the cute Dozer vid, too! What a goofy puppy. 21:14
I enjoy all your videos and I especially like woodworking so yes, any turning or other woodworking videos would be be equally enjoyed as well !
Add tin
Regardless of what she said
Awesome! @jon. Way to go, great mind on your shoulders
I know what it is it’s the spark arrester in the exhaust your spark arrester is clogged still chainsaws are known for that sore all of their equipment they’re known for its other weedeater they’re lease blowers it’s the spark arrestor you got to take the cover off the exhaust and it’s a little like plug thing it’s a screen in that screen gets clogged that’s what it is
me and my brother just got done sat with the relaunch of a new to us 22 Santana sailing boat her name is anger management was amazing
Could you not use ballast or shale around the entrance of pipes and ballast on the road where.
Maybe take out the trees that produce leaves around the inflow? Might help
Seeing all the running water on your property - have you ever considered doing a small hydroelectric setup to power part (or all) of your farm? I've seen a few micro hydroelectric videos on KZread and it seems all you need is ~20 ft of head to make something worth building.
Oh, I've just found farmcraft and watched a few videos. Then I came to this one. I've seen this video two times before. 🤣
Outstanding video...
Jon, There is a wealth of free information on Penn State's Center for Dirt and Gravel Roads website regarding drainage work for situations like yours. Lots of low cost and strait forward solutions to reduce the operation and maintenance of culverts. It's not lost on me that this info is a little late but perhaps it will help for next time. Cheers. BTW Dozer is living his best life on the farm.
You crack me up. I was actually waiting for you to fix the washer when the bucket came down on it. Perfect! Thanks for the laugh. Great job on the excavator.
