All your videos really open my eyes to how lazy I am and how much time I waste watching others do such work, rather then doing similar work myself on my own property. lol ... Inspirational
Always happy when you post a video
I really enjoy watching you create a great place to live and enjoy life.
Beautiful pasture, it’s enormous!!! 👍🏻
Thanks for another great video!
You and your wife have a beautiful farm . I wish I could have had something like that when I was Young. Keep up the good work !
You should go back and watch their older videos when they first bought the property and all the work they've put into it over the years. It was an over grown trashy mess. They've put a lot of hard work/love into what we see today. Lots of great videos to watch as they cleaned up and built up.
We always thought we would be young forever....
That no-till works great!
Hi. Great job of filming .
Sickle bar mower works great for reaching across ditches. The weeds came back bc there was bare ground. Spread some grass seed and after it comes up spray everything with 2, 4-D or dicambia. Those products will only kill the broadleaves so the grass can get established. Make sure it’s a lower humidity day.
So much work to do. I will be glad when You are done ! I am sure You will be happy too !! I LOVE YOU GUYS !!! 🥰 🥰
Being able to eat lunchnlikebthat every day would keep me on the farm daily! Lol. Great progress!
One of my top TH-cam channels.Keep up the great videos.
How about putting bag balm on your hands and gloves overnight? Might take might take the rest of the paint off and help your skin recover.
Prepping the pipe will definitely speed up the process. Hi from New Zealand.
Hi from the central coast of California near Vandenberg Space Force base.
Another step towards completion. Looking good Evan and glad you were able to get most of that paint off.
No flipping tractors!!😅
Lookin Great 👍, Continued Success !
@Ventrac, it's time to get Evan a 4520 and a Tough Cut.
Happy to see you back maté great video and all the best for your future adventures. Mate can I ask why you didn’t send it back and take pictures of it when it came to you? We have the same problem with items that get delivered and it is all broken up I just sent it back to them and take pictures of it.
A burgers on toast are the bestest lunch. Great paint jobs. Mow it lower. And can you figure how to angle mow ditch. Or use riding mower there. Make one inch tall or till it. Closer to those poles.mow round the trees closer, and run back on road side of ditch.
You are doing a great job what a nice farm
You can hang your post hole
Digger in a tree. Makes hooking and unhooking it easy.
I've used a car wash mit to paint pipes with. It will hold a lot of paint and your hand fits around the pipe.goes really fast
you should hook up your sickle mower onto the TYM and go slow. It will look good.
Nice video, I use a cement mixer to mix the different types of seed. Works like a charm! Love the content.
Love watching ur videos can't wait to see the final product
One thing to think about would be to plant the whole pasture, graze it before you seed it in perennial pasture grass, and then plant. Planting “green” into the annual grass will give you an extra nutrient boost when the annual grass dies which will help feed the perennial grass next spring. The thatch from the dead annual grasses will also provide some frost protection in the late fall and early spring.
I'm liking what I'm seeing and hearing with the TYM tractors. I'll have to check them out and get a little more info on them. That oil pipe is pretty heavy, that paint should be pretty durable with how hard it was for you two to get it off your hands. Thanks for sharing, have a good afternoon/evening!
I just ordered a gallon of POR 15 to under coat my Jeep frame. Thanks for showing that hope it will last for a long time.

Great video ! I wish it was longer I could watch work on the farm all day even mowing and fence 😮
i like to strap my posthole digger to a post and hold it up that way, i have seen some people make a rack to support the digger great work looking good "Back to work now:)" have fun
Evan I found that mixing seed in the drill is very EZ just by using a HF paint mixer in my cordless drill. I mix oats and orchid grass as a nurse crop for alfalfa. It does a nice job of blending it evenly.
JudithB Took me years to figure out to paint lumber and posts on the sawhorses before using them!! Sure is easier on my back and much faster to complete building projects too!! LOL!!! I finally got started on the garden between rain storms and hope to finish next week and finish planting! The riding mower is down again with the starter, the push mower pull engine line is disconnected so mowing is a huge pain. I did get a trailer dolly to move trailers around, particularly the yard trailer and the woodsplitter, now to get it assembled. More rain coming tho! Your place is looking so good this spring!!!
Your place is looking good, you are doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.
Time for an update on the planting
Hey Evan haven’t learned yet that you can put a quick hitch on both of your tractors and not have to use your foot as a hammer to get the three point hitch arms on and off the piece of equipment that you use on either tractor
Aaaah, the glamorous life of taking care of your property. Wouldn't trade it for a normal life though!
If all else fails at least you could be a short order chef! 🍔👍😎✌🏼
Nothing like the excitement of getting forage planted and then seeing how well ot does! My Dad and I are in Qld Australia and we dl a winter crop and summer crop each year. We do oats now and sugardrip sorghum and Lablab together in summer. Good work as always Evan!
nailbrush and ajax soap, warm water and keep scrubbing.
Flail mowers, used mainly for ditches and waterway shorelines
Loves watching you for hours,can we watch you on more videos on MAINTENANCE VIDEOS on your machines
I need to get one of those that goes behind my little Kubota
They have a bunch of different drills and sizes ranging from 4 to 10ft
good hard working man😊
Check with your county highway department and see if they have any ditch cutting tractors for sale. My cousin bought one from our county here in Wisconsin and it save alot of time for mowing his ditches
Enjoyed your video Evan have a great day.
Did you ever consider adding a few goats to your farm to deal with the brush? It seems like a great way to control the unwanted vegetation and naturally fertilizing your property at the same time.
Love your videos…you have a beautiful farm.
Really looks good!so proud for you! I watched a channel I really enjoy too, Simply living Alaska, he is fencing a garden, and is using the same pipe. He really having a hard time cutting the pipe, you got the plan! Thanks again!
How’s the pond going , when you thinking about doing the bridge , I know you have a lot of other projects on the go , fantastic viewing
Not, sure when we will get to the bridge. The pond has duck weed again this year. The pond isn't completely covered yet.
Enjoying your videos Evan
The field looks good. I like your planning. Could tell from wet tires the ground will still damp but that may be the nature of that field. FYI, keep solvents away from fingernails. They're a direct line into the body and can quickly become cancer. You had a very productive day. Did you get the double cheeseburger with lettuce into your mouth? Looked pretty thick to me. 😀 👍👍👍
Love the continued progress, Evan! I had a similar experience a few years ago when I ordered a 1 gallon can of POR black paint. The carrier busted the can open!
I got a notice from the Carrier saying the item was destroyed and leaking, and to contact the sender.
You’d think by now that POR would put some kind of retainer on the lids of these cans to keep the lids from being dislodged in shipping!
Also, I can relate to a lesser experience in wearing the POR, not as bad as you and Rebecca.
Stay safe and well, look forward to following y’all more!
I use those 3M scrubbing pads to get stuff like that off.
Evan, for your post hole digger. Get a couple of 4x4 put them in the ground wider then you hub driveline of the digger, then raised your porthole digger between the post. Put a 2x6 across the 2 post and for a ledger board to hold up the curve end on to the ledger.
That 2x6 you can make a cradle to fit that ledger like a hanger support then lower the porthole digger on to the ledger. Unhook from tractor. Let it hang on the ledger. Until next time you need it.
From the west coast of Tennessee
Sounds like a lot of work..JUST SAYING.
0:58 Not really. Actually it's better, raise it up. Back into it. Put the ledger under the curve of the tube. Lower it down. Unhook everything. It's not laying on the ground stretching the universal. Plus with no quick Hitch taking it off your not picking the hoop up because all the weight is on the ledger. And Taking off the lower rods. Then next time you use it back into it, . I wish that had a space to put in pictures. It will be alot easier to see.
I got on evens email sent him a picture of my rig
Evan, you need a flail mower.
Any chance you could do an walk through of you Orchard trees and show how they have done over the years? We see them periodically in the videos and I’m very curious of your experience and advice.
Use your sical mower on the ditch
I am certainly not a farm person ... wish I was. But you gotta go with what the Lord brings you. However ... It would seem to me that for a tractor without GPS, you do a pretty doggone good job of running some straight furrows. And the camera shots -- WITH MUSIC! -- were quite spicey! And you run Rebekah's tractor pretty well, too ... almost as well as she does!
Phosphoric acid turns bare steel/or rusted metal black and acts as a protector. Neat it's like water so goes a long way and easy to apply. It's inexpensive and commonly used in rust preventive products sold at DIY stores etc. Use gloves unless you want discolored hands!
Did you try the sickle bar mower by ditch. Years ago Sudan sorghum was a cause of concern for shattercane. It produces seed which can germinate the following year. It was replaced by Sudax which was a sterile hybrid. Also made a nice round bale for later feeding.
Always enjoy a good (genuine) Evan confession. He "tells on hisself" more'n'we may even notice. Thanks for sharing "the truth, the whole truth, etc" with all of us. You will have earned everything you pass on.
Thanks for the video
Nice to see the results of all the that grass ect ,stuff iv not heard of . 😊hope you find of stuff that reseeds itself each year .looks good tho
Nice video. Thanks I enjoyed.
If you need help with your pond get a hold of J.R. Hoffman and he can help to keep the Duck weed out of the pond and make the fish grow bigger. I watched him on Kapper outdoors
I was on "vacation" last week and did a lot of mowing and putting up new fence. Got a little over 600 ft of fence done. Still more to do. It's been a long project since we only work on it in our spare time. Also, got a new grill last week! Got the Blackstone griddle, and we are loving it. We've done breakfast a couple of times, some steaks, and we did hamburgers and hotdogs over the weekend. It cooks great and easy cleanup. I enjoy sitting down in the evening, relaxing, and watching your videos.
Love your channel watch you all the time and I miss seeing the animals and your lake.
Looks good !!
Shipping paint is terrible, but when it gets busted, most places will refund it and you also get to keep whatever you can salvage ... so not always bad.
Hey Evan, you need a flail mower for that ditch, and a good dose of GrazonNextHL.
Million dollar idea, make skin colour versions of that paint that you can paint over the blotches on your hands
Beautiful farm,
Get yourself a container of Kresto hand cleaner. We used it at the plant to wash our hands. It has pumice in it but is like a cream. Best way to use it is wet your hands and use very little Kresto and wash. Doesn't take much to wash grease and oily hands. I've hand the same container over 30yrs now I use. And a sickle bar would do those banks the brush hog doesn't get.
Man best equipment purchase for me was the quick connect hitch. I have all the same brand implements so that helped.
Looks good what you have done. Amazing how quickly the brush grows back so thankfully you have the mower attachment for your tractor. Curious … how many coats of the rust preventer do you have to paint onto each pipe rail? I think painting before welding is a very smart idea.
2 coats of rust preventer and 1 coat of enamel.
@@CountryViewAcres Thanks
If you drill a small hole in the top of can you can put screw in the hole. Then just remove the screw the next time you need it. Por 15 will not come off till you shed the skin.
Hey Evan, maybe you've looked into it but, I would recommend Pat's Easy Change for your 3 points. I use it on my 50hp and it makes it a heck of easier to hook and unhook your three-point implements. Pat's has worked well for me but I think there are other brands out there and looks like they all run $100-$200 so pick your poison I guess...lol.
My dad has Pat's Easy change on his tractor.
Great video !
I think a cement mixer would be great to mix up you seeds and your feed.
Thank you for taking the time to video, edit, and upload your fun! Your effort does not go unnoticed. 👍
Thanks enjoyed your video again,
Have you ever considered getting a hydraulic top link so you can adjust on the fly. I had an old Massey 30-B that had hydraulic top and tilt cylinders that sure was handy.
I have one. didn't think of using it.
Great video , question ,with that rust converter could you spray it on?
Pumas Power👍👍👍
Looks great Evan, glad you got the paint stains under control, now you know what to do if it happens again. Keep up the great videos and all the work you share with us. Hope the pasture works out the way you are planning for it to work. Have fun and a safe Memorial Day Weekend. Fred.
Pork pie, bacon & sausages I think u should name the piggies Rebekah xx
Take a look at sunn hemp as a warm season annual. Besides being great forage, it is supposed to be very beneficial as a soil builder. I have experimented with it but never done a legitimate stand of it due to just broadcasting it and not planting it in a prepped seedbed or with a no till drill. Petchers Seeds has some good info on it as well as host of other warm season and cool season forages.
The sorghum Sudan grass is soil builder as well. has deep roots, brings nutrients back to the surface. leaves lots of organic mater in the soil when it dies off.
@@CountryViewAcres Yea it is. I think the main difference in the two is that sorghum is a grass while sunn hemp is a legume. Both will get jungle height if not pressured too much.
sickle mower take care of that ditch
I hope you treat yourselves to some major celebration when you get that fence project complete. 😅
You need an old sickle bar mower for the ditch and other rough spots
Evan has one of those.
Different repairs on the farm we used gasoline to clean our hands. It will burn some, but it will clean your hands.
I would suggest mowing but also treating those areas along the lane and ditch with Crossroad herbicide. Its great for just these types of situations.
You could also use your sickle bar to mow the ditch
U need a flail mower to chop up all that brush
Let clay dry out and you wind up trying to drill through concrete. A bit of displaced soil is a small price to pay to get the field planted. BTW, if you are grazing on that field you will find that the ground is seeded for next year, courtesy of your animals.
Stihl gas operated chop saw make quick work of that piping can also cut black top and concrete
Thanks for the video. With the weeds, sence they've been so established, mowing every two or three weeks will be the best way control the growth. Just be sure to cut prior going to seed. How are the ideas for the pond dock/bridge?
The rust stuff is tuff. Might want to wear gloves when handling it.
You need a offset flail mower for the ditch banks.
The No till Kasco seed planter is that yours ? Or Rental. Many farmers are planting here in Minnesota. Great 📹 video. Evan ❤😎👍🏡🚜🌱🌿☘️
I am borrowing it. I will be taking it back soon.
Ok Evan 😎👍
