Farmer Pete and his old tractors. These kids today that are 5th and 6th generation farmers know nothing about old tractors and the joy of tearing them down and rebuilding them. They seem to want to drive these new green ones...Enjoy your videos and wisdom..
Hello: at 5:48 in the video, you can see your webb of the spreader is in backwards. Flip your chain around left on right and right on left. The "L" bar should be on the opposite side for support. We were a small farmer as well 320 acres but now I'm in Dallas. We still have the farm. Hope this helps, I'll watch to see if it is flipped.
Did you just say, "pootina"? 🤣 I love that you change your mind/plan as you go. There's a belief that doing that is a bad thing (flip-flopping) but in truth it's a sign of evolved thinking.👏🏻
"Your crap" flying is so much better than "the media crap" that flies. Love watching you and your wife. Childhood memories renewed. May God Bless you and keep you.
Greetings Pete, I have to say that's why I like your channel. Regardless of how much crap you have to deal with you have a positive and humorous attitude!
Hey Pete, I was driving across the Pennsylvania Turnpike watching this episode and sure enough the farmers down here were all spreading their manure too. This is the first time I’ve had the smell to go along with your great sights and sounds. I highly recommend it!
Never, in my former life before Just A Few Acres, could I have imagined loving manure spreading. I love to watch you, Pete, TLC-ing your farm with poop being among my favorite of your activities. Pigs, cows, chickens all poop not having accessibility to modern plumbing. Now that I have seen how this stuff keeps happening, and you cleaning stalls, coops, pens, spreading manure feel good to watch you do. You are at the epicenter of the reality of life on earth while I, not having accessibility to the earth as you do, have drifted from what really matters. You and Hillary are my link to how life REALLY works, before politics, social media, fluxing stock market, every convenience offered to my American, middle class, white, suburban lifestyle. I am grateful I know of you through your videos.
Maybe it's just me, but watching that manure flying around everywhere with the camera on the ground had me ducking and covering my head to avoid the manure 😂
I grew up on a farm and have owned my own farms for most of my adult life. I'm 71 and not sure why I like watching your videos but I do so thank you for sharing 😊
It is amazing how quiet it is around your farm when Patty has her mouthful.😂 I like your plan to use the upper barn for the cows. I am sure Patty will be expecting a special stall just for her. Thanks for taking us along for the first field work. Have a blessed weekend!
The fishermen warn each other to keep a weather eye out. when you think about why, it could save a life or a boat because the weather changes so quickly out at sea.
Amazing video as always Pete! People really do not understand the reality of mud season on farms. It is a real season just like winter, spring and summer! Good luck and Good morning!
When the camera fell off the fender, my 18-month-old daughter said, "Uh-oh!". We love watching your videos, and my youngest daughter loves the cows, especially when they all start mooing when she begins to moo loudly. Thanks for the phenomenal family and educational content.
I've never lived on a farm but always wished I had grown up that way. I absolutely LOVE farm smells...even fresh manure being spread. When friends and family would plug their noses driving by fields, I had my head sticking out the window taking it all in.
The jokes have been missed. Good to see manure being spread, means green is coming. Another year of enjoying your videos and I am ready. Looking forward to it, the market and cycles of farming. Thanks for including us again, very enjoyable.😃👍
My brother is overhauling his 756 D. with a turbo pulled 5 bottom hydra wide plow. Sleeves were leaking antifreeze but were showing almost no wear. Crank is in good shape. What a tractor!!!
I love watching this process, and am amazed at how it could all go back together. One of the most surprising things to me is the lack of blood and bruised hands, wrists, and forearms.
This proves every job has its "crappy" side. Your plans evolve, but eventually when the time is right it will all come together! Hopefully your jokes do too!!
Pete - My husband and I have been watching your channel for over a year. We love to just watch you be a farmer, and we just like you. I about spat out my drink when I heard you ask the cow if he was looking for chem trails! hahahaha Thanks Pete for inserting just a little bit of "truth" into your farm video! Could those be the reason your weather in NY was not Normal this winter? hmmmmmm
Maybe this hay season if you have time or want to we can see your square baler work? Thanks pete love the hard work and the knowledge you have taught me. Have a great day can't wait till the next video!!!
Hi Pete I’m from Australia and I love watching you videos and they make my life 10x better. I’m so glad I found you channel a year or 2 ago but that was the best day when I did, hope your family is well and you too.
Pete, it's just amazing the solutions that come forth after allowing ideas to marinate for a season! A fun mental adventure indeed! God bless, have fun!
I cleaned and hauled manure at my farm. I tell my grandkids we are making fresh air for everybody. Play the crazy weather and prepare the spreader. It is amazing how the rear beaters get bent as time goes by.I notice the same thing with my cows, they seem shorter after cleaning out the barn...lol. I agree it feels good getting out. Be safe out there.
Pete, I love the constant tweaking and process updates of the pig barn plans. We did something similar over the last year. Started with "let's build a new pig barn" and kept reevaluating and changing the plan until we finally came up with a solution. We ended up retrofitting the old existing tobacco barn on the property, and we are just now finishing up our best farrowing season yet, thanks in large part to the well thought out and designed infrastructure. Can't wait to see where you end up with your design process!
Broken tractor😢. My Dad had a saying, if you have equipment it will break. If you have equipment that goes into the ground, it will break quicker. Glad you had a spare. Take care. Till next time...
Pete, you should create a second channel "Just A Few Tractors". If you separate the two you'll add all of the people who just like watching the tractor rebuilding or auctions. Double the fun & the $$ 😎
I enjoy my evening watching you guys - I was raised on dairy farm with hogs and chicken - it more fun watching you than actually doing it - Happy Thursday guys 😮😅
When running older equipment or vehicles it is a good idea to have two, just in case one is down for repairs. It is a good thing you can maintain your own manure spreader since it is one piece of equipment no repairman will ever stand behind.
As an OTR tractor trailer driver I thought I had an obsession with the weather too. Which route to take, stay North or not, when to leave home, etc... Couldn't tell you the number of times I jumped in the seat just to beat a storm moving across the country, trying to keep a normal trip from becoming a nightmare. Now retired I'm still a weather-watcher so I feel for ya brother. Keep on Truckin'!
I needed this today. Sounds like this Spring is going to continue to be above/below freezing for a while. Mid-MI & we are getting a fair amount of rain and cloudy skies now. Thanks for the joke!
I'm so jealous! Where I live in Canada we still have a foot of snow on the ground, watching your video is getting me itching to be back on the tractor.🚜
I didn’t know, that a video about shit distribution would make me happy. But it did. Love it pete. And yes. One of the few times you can say shit. My geography teacher told me so.
As you were spreading the second load of manure, I could see and hear Nancy and Ronald Reagan. It was a press event and they were asking President Reagan what Nancy got him for his birthday. There was a pause and he answered, a manure spreader. There was this kind of a "what did he say pause?" And he repeated a manure spreader. This time it sunk in. There was laughter. There are those of us who do understand. 😊😊😊😊😊 Have a great day.
Pete, thanks for all the great stories and content that you share with us. You always manage to put a smile on my face! I love my visits to your farm. Say hello to Hillary for me!
You are like me when it comes to planning future developments. I am building a new chicken coop to house 100 chickens and I swear I changed locations over a dozen times already lol
Thanks for shooting the $hit with us this morning.
Nice well said bub
No pun intended
Funny. Good one!
Good line.
Double entendre 20:33

lol love the camera drop off the fender
Ouch.. that hurt. Dropped us on our heads.. lol
I think billy hit the pig lottery, he found the perfect home, happy life.

I hope everything is ok up there buddy.
"Your crap" flying is so much better than "the media crap" that flies. Love watching you and your wife. Childhood memories renewed. May God Bless you and keep you.
I spread some of our manure a few days ago with the 826. Those german diesel engines sure do sound nice doing work.
Can't wait for your next video
Greetings Pete, I have to say that's why I like your channel. Regardless of how much crap you have to deal with you have a positive and humorous attitude!
I am 12 year old boy and I really enjoy your channel i have restored a Farmall b with the help of your mechanic videos
You can sling it with the best of 'em, Pete!
Yeah, I agree; it was great to get out in the field again. Thanks for taking us along. Spring is coming!
Hey Pete, I was driving across the Pennsylvania Turnpike watching this episode and sure enough the farmers down here were all spreading their manure too. This is the first time I’ve had the smell to go along with your great sights and sounds. I highly recommend it!
My grandfather, when he would go by a farm with freshly "manured" fields, would take a big sniff and cry "lilacs!" and the kids would giggle.
Never, in my former life before Just A Few Acres, could I have imagined loving manure spreading. I love to watch you, Pete, TLC-ing your farm with poop being among my favorite of your activities.

Good morning Pete and family hope y'all have a great day
I grew up on a farm and have owned my own farms for most of my adult life. I'm 71 and not sure why I like watching your videos but I do so thank you for sharing 😊
Spring is truly one of the more wonderful times of the year.
Hey Pete worried about you ..hope all is ok..
I thought the manure would be the stinkiest part of this video...then Pete tells a joke.
Fantastic shot 15:03. The sky and the tractor going by… cool angle! Thanks Pete!
I agree! 👍👍
It is amazing how quiet it is around your farm when Patty has her mouthful.😂 I like your plan to use the upper barn for the cows. I am sure Patty will be expecting a special stall just for her. Thanks for taking us along for the first field work. Have a blessed weekend!
Patty.... The "Karen" of cows?
I hope all is going well.. been 6 days, just wanted to check in on y'all
Cow Patty! Yep, she's been busy! 🐃. Thanks Pete. I'm looking forward to seeing the cattle turned out on your green pastures again!
Ah Spring! The time of year when a young man's fancy turns to manure.
Hey pete it’s been 8 days since last video hope all is well I look forward to ur next video
The fishermen warn each other to keep a weather eye out. when you think about why, it could save a life or a boat because the weather changes so quickly out at sea.
Boy! And I thought we had a sh@t show at my job!
To some, that's a mountain.
To others (me), ITS A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD!!
Hope everything is going okay on just a few acres farm it's been a long time since you uploaded a new video. Best wishes
Amazing video as always Pete! People really do not understand the reality of mud season on farms. It is a real season just like winter, spring and summer! Good luck and Good morning!
Im just glad to see im not the only one who changes there mind half a dozen times when doing something
Patty says she definitely likes the idea of living next to all the hay.
When the camera fell off the fender, my 18-month-old daughter said, "Uh-oh!". We love watching your videos, and my youngest daughter loves the cows, especially when they all start mooing when she begins to moo loudly. Thanks for the phenomenal family and educational content.
I've never lived on a farm but always wished I had grown up that way. I absolutely LOVE farm smells...even fresh manure being spread. When friends and family would plug their noses driving by fields, I had my head sticking out the window taking it all in.
nothing better than the smell of manure and a good running tractor!
Hope you are taking a break and enjoying life. I look for your video every day.
Pete .. please keep those jokes coming! Love them big time.
The jokes have been missed. Good to see manure being spread, means green is coming. Another year of enjoying your videos and I am ready. Looking forward to it, the market and cycles of farming. Thanks for including us again, very enjoyable.😃👍
My brother is overhauling his 756 D. with a turbo pulled 5 bottom hydra wide plow. Sleeves were leaking antifreeze but were showing almost no wear. Crank is in good shape. What a tractor!!!
Absolutely loving the evolutionary thought process of the pig & cattle situation!
Pete, cleaning pens, hauling and spreading manure brings back great memories of my childhood. Thanks👍🏻❣️👍🏻❣️👍🏻❣️
Growing up, I remember seeing float valves that were like the ball inside toilet tanks. Thanks for the reminders of the olden days.
Ah the weather tide has turned, spring is starting to settle in. Very nice poo fling. Thank you
Tis the season when my wife and I are driving through the country the car is put in "re circulate" mode! LOL. Keep on smiling.
I've never been so glad that TH-cam doesn't have smell-a-vision. :) Thanks Pete!
I love watching this process, and am amazed at how it could all go back together. One of the most surprising things to me is the lack of blood and bruised hands, wrists, and forearms.

Hi Pete I’m from Australia and I love watching you videos and they make my life 10x better. I’m so glad I found you channel a year or 2 ago but that was the best day when I did, hope your family is well and you too.
Thanks Jax! Best to you.

Love seeing you back out in the fields again!! It looks Good on YOU. LOL
That cattle feeding shed makes a lot of sense.
1:54 🤣🤣 What was that about? Going through a door again? 😆🤣 You crack me up Pete! Great video. Thank you.
Pete, you should create a second channel "Just A Few Tractors". If you separate the two you'll add all of the people who just like watching the tractor rebuilding or auctions. Double the fun & the $$ 😎
It’s never a good conversation without talking about 💩. Thanks Pete for the update as well.
I enjoy my evening watching you guys - I was raised on dairy farm with hogs and chicken - it more fun watching you than actually doing it - Happy Thursday guys 😮😅
When you say you guys have been busy, you are busy all the time. Hard workers👍

It is a good thing you can maintain your own manure spreader since it is one piece of equipment no repairman will ever stand behind.
Manure spreading day! Yeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwww!My favorite day of the year!
Just like a good farmer, “outstanding in his field”…..spreading goodness 👊
You are a walking talking billboard for Goodrich...tractor and spreader 💥BOOM💥
As an OTR tractor trailer driver I thought I had an obsession with the weather too. Which route to take, stay North or not, when to leave home, etc...

Billy and JJ are my favorite! Thanks for showing Billy!
Pete you look happy back in the field!😊😊
Where are you Pete?
It’s been a while since the last video….
I hope you’re ok & a new video poops up soon….
I needed this today. Sounds like this Spring is going to continue to be above/below freezing for a while. Mid-MI & we are getting a fair amount of rain and cloudy skies now. Thanks for the joke!
Thanks Pete! I’m sure it was nice to get back out on the field. I’m ready to get my tractors all out again
Aw the joy of mud season ya get covered with it but it’s the beginnings of hopes dreams and plan’s.thanks for sharing with us 👍👍
I'm so jealous! Where I live in Canada we still have a foot of snow on the ground, watching your video is getting me itching to be back on the tractor.🚜
I wish I had a place like this to call home.
Hey Pete,,,thanks for the Dad joke. Needed the smile.
I didn’t know, that a video about shit distribution would make me happy. But it did.
Love it pete.
And yes. One of the few times you can say shit. My geography teacher told me so.
What a great thumbnail for this video, Pete!
I do have to admit, that 756 sounds really nice!

There are those of us who do understand. 😊😊😊😊😊 Have a great day.
can't believe lam watching a poo spreading show in the morning. we had to load the spreader by hand, lots of work.
"Lots of issues" Great you added a joke today. Nice to laugh. Spring has sprung.
You know it’s spring when the manure hits the field.
One of my favorite times of the year is when you start flinging du du!
Just checking in. Hope all is well.
In Manitoba I'm getting real anxious for spring watching you do your spring chores. Still have most of our snow and sitting at -15 to -20 overnight.
I like your opening title " Let The Crap Fly ", and yes, I get that same feeling; it is great to be back in the field.
This video is kind of a Spring Fling. Thanks for the videos
Was expecting The Flight of the Valkyries in the opening! Great video, as always!!
Hi Pete, Has been 8 days since a video. Hoping your just busy.
I love hard work!
I could watch it all day!
Thank you so much. I really need to see this. It started snowing again today. Thankfully it will not stick to the ground today. Thank Pete.
Please keep telling the great jokes . I love them .
When you're a sailor, weather matters.⛈
Pete, thanks for all the great stories and content that you share with us. You always manage to put a smile on my face! I love my visits to your farm. Say hello to Hillary for me!
You are like me when it comes to planning future developments. I am building a new chicken coop to house 100 chickens and I swear I changed locations over a dozen times already lol
