I kind of squealed when I heard the babe Mandi in your video. She’s my friend and Braille teacher. I’ll be heading to Leader Dogs in October and I can’t wait.

Thank you for documenting your journey!! Looks like you and Mr. Audie make a great team!

Thank you for this video. I’m fascinated by the process of bonding with and working with a guide dog. Congratulations to you and Audie.

Great video! I also have Stargardt's and have been legally blind for 20 years. Structured Discovery (shaded training) hasn't been a great fit for me so I may look into alternatives. Thanks!

It might not have regen but it still have emission controls on it. I’d recommend a delete and tune to keep it lasting

Your journey is very interesting and inspiring. Something that is important to keep in mind regarding service dogs is that while many schools such as the one where I received my guide tend to use the word service to refer to dog trained in tasks such as item retrieval, open doors, pulling wheelchairs, reminding their handlers to take medication, responding to medical episodes etc. etc. under ADA law service dog is the legal term for a dog who has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks to mitigate a persons disability. So Guide Dog‘s are a type of service dog and therefore it would not be incorrect to say that a guide dog is a service dog. Also, it’s important to note that owner training is allowed under federal law and people have the right to choose to train their own dogs to become service dogs so long as as have the right temperament to do so and can perform a task that mitigate their disability.

❤ You enabled us to “see” what you see in your description of a coffee mug on a granite countertop. I perceived your view differently from your reality. I have a better understanding now so thank you for that image. I have always known that you were a driven super achiever. Unaware of your visual challenges for most of the 30 years I have known you, I am more impressed and proud of your achievements. Your recent acceptance of and openness about your visual impairment have given you more confidence. What a positive move forward! Many people are praying for a perfect guide dog match in the near future. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Keep us posted!❤

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story Jeff!

❤ I spotted the flamingo flock early this afternoon. My smile lasted my entire drive home. I love them. I wonder what the cattle egrets and other birds will do when they spot these beauties. ❤

I just got my 5075E last week from UnitedAg. I shopped Kubota, New Holland, Mahindra and Deere. It was also my first new tractor purchase so I did a lot of research. I was all set to get a slightly used 4044M that had the 3rd function on the FEL when my son and wife talked me into getting a cab due to the heat. Not always South Texas hot, but I think the humidity makes up for it. Extremely glad I listened to them and got the cab! I looked at the New Holland Boomer 55 and it really had impressive turn radius, but no "sunroof" so it required leaning over to see the bucket when raised up high. I then test drove the 4066R and was blown away. It was friggin' awesome. Just as tight turn radius, excellent cab, and what I considered "auto-throttle" -- that was very impressive. More you demanded on the HST, it would increase the RPM by itself. The HST was smooth, too. The rear fender had 3 point control and you could nudge the tractor forward and backward, so 3 point hook up was a lot easier for one-man operations. Then I got the price and ouch. "R" means $$$. The other issue was the lack of a jump seat for the grandkids. I was influenced by my son and friends to "go big or go home" so I began looking at the 5057E and various color counterparts. The 5075E with premium cab is no "economy" model in my book. As you noted the Premium cab gives you a lot more than an air ride seat and jump seat. Push button 4 wheel drive, push button draft control (which you can reach through the side window that opens), and with UnitedAg they always get 3rd function on the front so 5 SCVs (3 in front, 2 in back) like yours. But the selling point for me was the cash price vs. financed price was only $500 difference so I kept the cash in savings and took the 0% financing. After working it this week, I do have some gripes. PowrReverser goes faster in reverse than forward. I really don't like it. Very difficult to get it into the "Park" position. I'd rather have a traditional parking brake. If it pops out of park, it will roll. Overall, I would have been better served work-wise with the 4000 turn radius and HST. But "hay" maybe we'll need two in the future.

Thanks, and God bless you!

Nice review, I just bought a Case 75C. Seems pretty comparable.

When I bought mine, dealer showed me how to start but didn't use the brake. I'm glad you showed that it can start with the brake lever ingaged. then ingage lever to start sawing with it. Great demonstration. Thanks!

Congrats on moving ahead with the leader dog program! Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us.

This is fabulous! Looks like a great program and I am so happy you had such a positive experience. Praying for you to keep growing with this program and hopefully receive a best friend to help you on your journeys!

Thank you so much for sharing this beneficial experience. Leader Dogs is obviously a first rate organization who cares deeply for their dogs AND their clients. This phase of your training not only provided you with knowledge, tips and techniques, and advice, it instilled confidence. That is a life game changer. Seeing AI is intriguing so I will look into that. My favorite part was watching you and Finn, both in training. I teared up several times during this video. What an impact! I am so proud of you, Jeff!

So amazing Jeff! So happy for you & thank you for sharing. Such an inspiration for others who may be going through the same conditions you are! Enjoyed hearing the excitement in you voice! God Bless You! Hope to see you soon! Connie

Just watched your Leader Dog video. What a fantastic program! Really glad to hear that it was beneficial for you and the future support you will have.

Amazing! So proud of you and how far you've come...and overcome! It was very interesting to know the details of the process. Beautiful dogs! Looking forward to visiting in the store someday soon and shaking hands....with your guide dog!

It’s looking good!

Wise decision to remove all old cabinets now! Thanks for listing in the description the tools used in this video. I need to check out a couple of them. The self leveling concrete application was not as complicated as I imagined so thanks for the demonstration! The new flooring looks great. Keep up the good work.

Hello JR I was watching your video on the building and I have a question We purchased a property that has the identical building on it and we don’t know who the manufacturer is Could you share the manufacture of the building with us? Thank you

Thanks for showing sweet❤ Rusty❤at the end of this video. He is missed by so many. ❤❤❤

Awesome video mate. I subscribed. I have a used 5075E coming next week, I can't wait, and funnily enough I also currently mow way too much with a Husqvarna, mine is the Z254. Things you'd never expect it to cut it does easily, but I am looking forward to using it just for lawns. Love the deluxe cab and the LED lights on yours. Also the second seat, I may have to see if I can find a part number and order one, maybe jerry rig it. Thanks again for sharing, and some very handy info

Just picked up a 2023 John Deere 5075E Deluxe Cab with 520m loader. I did a side by side comparison to a friends Kubota M4D-071 deluxe cab with la1154a loader. First off, the Deere was 2k cheaper from the local dealers in our area. 2. The Deere operating weight is about 1000lbs more than the Kubota without any added fluid or weights on either machine. 3. The Deere loader lifts 600lbs more than the Kubota according to manufacturer specs and you can feel this, if anything the Deere is too much loader for a green horn operator. 4. If you park both machines side by side and compare the rear differential, the Kubota looks like a tinker toy compared to the Deere. 5. On the front end of the Kubota you see the tie rods ready to catch a stump or rock where the Deere is protected behind a beefier front differential...the front guards on the Kubota are laughable. 6. No DPF regen on the Deere which cleans up under the hood. No more cluster of big/expensive exhaust components. The list goes on. Deere is a superior machine by far. I'm not a Deere fanboy, I have a kubota kx057 excavator which is superior to the Deere 60, but with tractors it's not even close. Working on a video with details.

hard work pays off! 👏

Love it! I’ve owned my 5075e for one year now. Best tractor I’ve owned, so happy with it. Such a beast. Shopped others but was a no brainer. Zero percent interest, it’s already 15k more in one year if I bought one now. Premium free insurance as long as it’s financed, Kubota was 10k more and wayyyy more for insurance. Deere best resell too 👍

Thanks for the video. I've narrowed my search to Kubota, JD, and Kioti in the 65-75 hp range. Did you order the tractor with the skid steer quick attach, or was it a dealer added option? And if you've got any experience test driving any of the other tractors- the feedback will be appreciated!

Progress is obvious. The drywall brick look texture in the back was a brilliant idea; I love it! Your decision to make your own drapery rods from black metal pipe is spot on. It will complement your wall color and add a touch of modern style. Keep up the good work. This is definitely an adventure for you and us viewers. Looking forward to your next update.

i’m looking at one of these and I’m in the same predicament you were in. I’m also looking at the Kubota. They both have plus and minuses. Keep us posted. I’m interested to know if the door hinges hold up and if you have trouble with the door gaskets falling off.

And where’d ya pick up the grapple? Any good? And what’re they asking for it, it looks beefy as heck.

Love it! I’m ordering one this week. Watched a billion videos of the 3/4 series and the new 4075r and the 5075E is a vastly superior machine in EVERY way, much more useable, AND I’ll save $25K (really $15k with a loader added on) love the John Deere lineup and the 5075E is probably the best deal on the market and the size makes it versatile in so many ways that the smaller machines just can’t compete.

Love the tractor I have two jd tractors both with extra low hours

Great start! Looking forward to watching all of the improvements. What a transformation it will be!,,

Dang, you already busted the back fender?

Having never had the opportunity to observe a large metal building installation, I am amazed by the complexity of even scheduling the sequential steps from start to finish. It has been informative and entertaining! You planned time saving measures for the electrical hookup. I am impressed! The completed building is spacious. Congratulations!

The XL Big Green Egg nestled in that farm table fits neatly in that location. Aesthetically, this new setup perfectly compliments the space. Great choice! Thanks for the tips in replacing the Big Green Egg gasket.

you had just mentioned moving that beast when I was at the store on Saturday, glad you got it moved to a secure location. I hope you stayed hydrated, that heat is no joke.

Looks good!

Congratulations on successfully moving your RV to a protected and safe place! That Milwaukee Air Compressor is a great addition at home and on the road; it is a great gift idea!

🙏 Promo sm

Your video is great! We have products for Milwaukee batteries, would you be interested in trying them out?

Great project and tips on troubleshooting issues as they occurred.

Great Video. I wondered how those wall mounts work, now I need some.

Please feature the tools you used during each step and explain why that tool was selected. It sounded like you had to evaluate multiple challenges during this task. Teamwork and problem solving resulted in a successful job. Congratulations!
