    I don’t know how you do it, Pete. The mix between your hilarious humor, and the hard work on the farm makes for a great video.

    It has been many decades since I left the farm. Your operation reminds me of what farms use to be, a family enterprise. Husbands, wives and children working together. We have lost something fundamental with the decline of the family farm, but then nothing ever stays the same. Farms now measure holdings in thousands of acres, not hundreds. Animals are counted in the hundreds not the tens. There now seems to be specialized equipment for almost every task, taking away much of the need for a shovel. It is refreshing to see farming being enjoyed by a family!

    My hospice client passed and the day before he died we were watching your Farmall tractor restoration videos. Every time I see you in my feed, I think of him in heaven with his beloved tractor. Thanks for making his time here in earth special. Be well and safe!

    Is fun to see how much Billy loves you! His little tail just wags so happily. Puts a smile on my face everytime.

    • @NaiWildheart
      @NaiWildheart ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It also makes me smile! The main thing that makes farming enjoyable is being able to form great relationships with the animals. It's a positive natural cycle for everyone involved in it.

  • @davidcrosby8552

    Hey Pete, I believe the animals on your farm show so much affection towards you and your wife because of how good y'all take care of them.

  • @vmdairy
    @vmdairy ปีที่แล้ว +16

    My father, a coal miner as well as a dairyman, used to bring worn out no.4 shovels home from the mine to show that 1) they were great for further use on the farm, and, 2) he didn't need a gutter cleaner for the barn!

    What might be wrong with the TA is the holdback clutch. That's why it freewheeled until it got slow enough for the sprag to catch and pull. Hey you can't just dangle this stuff in front of me and not expect me to comment, LOL!

I just love watching pig farmers do their thing...really strikes home for me how much I'd like to!

BECAUSE I HAVE A WAY TO BREAK DOWN EVERYONE S LIFE IN TO THE SIMPLEST form. I got Pete on the first try, knowing what's important to Pete is his legacy.. when you spend hours after hours in a foxhole nothing really shocks you. . Plus you know your life can depend on you no questions asked Pete. I still learn from you Pete. NEAL APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA

    So as in old city boy I'm watching and all of a sudden I hear this term T / A and having no clue what it is I'm thinking I guess I'll have to Google that and find out what this is all about. Then near the end of the video it's all well explained. I should have known that Pete would not leave me hanging. As a born-and-raised city boy who comes from a family who used to farm all the way back to the Revolutionary War until just after WWII I find these videos of hard work and humor, extremely entertaining and enjoyable to watch. Thanks for putting these out there.

    I’m loving the videos on what you’re doing to remedy issues with your 756. Because I have been dealing with all the same issues with my 856, and I’m learning so much on how the hydraulics and the T/A functions. I’ve just left mine in the high range for the last two years as I’m to nervous to dig into it myself
