🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
In today's video we let you know we bought a new tractor! We have a 2023 Massey Ferguson 1825 E compact tractor with the FLX 2407 loader. We also put our tractor to work using the loader bucket to spread the 23 tons of 3/4" stone for our gravel driveway. We use the tractor to widen our driveway and make our driveway turnaround from one vehicle width into two vehicles wide. We also use the loader to back blade or scrape the driveway smooth as well as our King Kutter 5' rear scrape blade to smooth everything out. Let's go!

Love the new tractor. It was great seeing Angela drive and spread gravel. You guys are so stinking cute. Looking forward to more videos
Congratulations on the new tractor!
A little tip you may or may not know about using the bucket. On the right hand loader arm here's a silver rod that moves up and down out of a red sleeve as you tilt the bucket. When the bucket is flat, the rod should be even with the top of the sleeve. Knowing that can be very helpful when trying to scoop a bucketful of gravel or whatever you're scooping because you typically want to go into the pile with the bucket flat
massey 1825 thats a 25hp kubota diesel
Nice advice
@@n3v1ko i always use my bucket to bask blade what ever i spread around
Hi Sam and Angela! Good for you guys being able to purchase this needed piece of equipment! I don't think it was an impulse buy. There are certain things that are a must have, living the homestead/ farm life. Have fun playing around with it! Can't wait for more videos of what you all have planned in future projects! 😉❤
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family
Congratulations on the new tractor! I'm sure you'll find PLENTY of uses for it. And now Angela can help, too!
Well deserved! And money well spent. The wear and tear of our bodies, especially as we age, is no joke. I'm glad you're taking those precautions.
Wow, your boys are getting so so big and they will be a great help to you and Angela around the farm ❤
Congratulations on the new tractor Sam and Angela
Congratulations!! That will help move all that mulch!!!!
Great video, you all look so happy, God bless
The hayfield potential will be a nice little side hustle perhaps. Living on that property you definitely need that tractor. 💖💖🎶🎶
Great job Angela driving the tractor
You look good on that tractor and I like the color. The red and black goes well with your other tools. Seriously though, it's a good looking tractor and very capable. Nice buy!
About the tractor shed. Just keep in mind that even the tractor dealers leave them outside on the lot. It won't hurt them to sit outside for a bit, so try not feeling so rushed. Just do what you can, when you can.
Be a big game changer for you all congratulations
Congrats!! I purchased my new JD 2038R about a year ago. If you have a sizable amount of property you almost have to have a tractor. Like you I did lots of research and settled on JD because of close dealerships and great success with other JD products. The downside they are more expensive. I look forward to seeing future videos and great job Angela you looked like a pro!
were getting rid of all our deere each year towars all case's and Kubota equipment because theyre cheaper
You all are just absolutely THE BEST!!! I wish we could be neighbors!
OMGosh, the feral child is turning into an young adult, how exciting!! (**scary too). They grow to fast.
How awesome you getting the tractor, so much you and Angela can get done. Not just Sam, not just Angela, but, both can do. So happy for you all.
Great tractor Sam. Great job Angela. Great job Elijah.
That's a nice tractor, it's going to help out around your homestead. Congratulations
Congratulations !!! So happy for y'all's sweet little family.
the iconic turtle and rabbit!! My grandparents had a MF and I grew up (and learned to drive tractors) on that old bad boy! Memories!
Elijah sure had sprouted up. Getting almost as tall as dad😁
Your family is awesome great choice on the tractor 👍🙏
Your an awesome family. Love your videos and those two boys are precious.
There's an epidemic of new tractors happening! I got a new tractor, too. A much smaller one, but it's going to help me move gravel when the time comes. I just have to get used to running it on the hills (or at least knowing what hills I can safely maneuver on). Having a new tractor is indeed a game changer! Enjoy yours!
Happy for ya’ll!
Congratulations I enjoyed your videos
Congratulations 🎊🍾🎉🎈!!!! Now , there is so much more that you can do on your homestead !
Of course , seeing Angela drive that monster was amazing !!
But … was Sam thinking 🤔:
“ teach my wife to drive a front loader, and I’ll never work another day in my life “??!! 🤣🤣🤣. Good thing she enjoyed it 🎉
Looks like a great addition to your collection of useful equipment !! Yay 😀
Nice driveway nice tractor you go Angela seeing you drive that I want one but I live in the city 😂😂
You guys are so close to 100,000 congratulations and I'm sure you'll hit that soon
You go Angela
You can’t go wrong with a Massey Ferguson and back in the day old blue would have been a luxury but like all of us he is getting old however old blue will or already is a valuable piece of machinery and you deserve all that you need to make your life easier especially on a homestead. Love the video🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Angela will learn to look ahead of herself to see what she needs to pull behind her, it'l become natural over time. I think it's so cool that you involve the entire family, even teaching your young son that's so eger to learn. I think I remember the first trailer he got to pull behind the vehicle, he was gleaming from ear to ear. I just love your family
So happy for you guys. You needed this tractor with all that land. Now for the brush hog attachment.
Very happy for you guys!
Yeah, I remember commenting a year or so ago, you needed a tractor. That's a real nice machine. I think any brand is a good choice. I've owned Ford, Kubota, John Deere, and recently traded and got a New Holland. I've enjoyed them all. Angela did a good job. That front end loader will come in handy for all kinda stuff, Sam.
But your boys are stepping up and helping you 💞may you use it in good health 💞
Great video Sam and Angela
A need for sure with the homestead. You have made a good choice moving to this property as it is giving your boys the best life.
In the Spring when the grass comes up through that gravel, get a sprayer and mix water, cleaning vinegar and a touch of liquid dish soap and spray the grass. If it does come back spray it again. Chemical free!
Awesome purchase y'all! God Bless Y'all 🙏🏻 !
Love how easy my tractor (I mean your tractor😆) is to operate! Angela, you’re a natural!
Congratulations Well deserved and buying it new, this will be the blue tractor in 50 years. I am always impressed by Sam and Angela. Truly happy for you.
A little tip. In my use of grader blade.
I find when grading driveway stone if you turn blade backward and drag stone it does a better job. This also works well in snow removal. Blade won't dig in so deep and drags stone down easier. Have fun with new tractor. God bless you and family
Nice tractor! My only word of caution with a hydro is be careful with ground engaging implements like plows. If there's a ton of drag the transmission will overheat like crazy, possibly harming it. I had this happen on my JD hydro. If you're going to drag something like a plow use a geared tractor like the ford.
The biggest killer of hydros is shifting up and throttling down.
Love the tractor. nice to see a toy Angela can play with too. hope it helps save feet and backs with all your upcoming projects.
You both look so much more relaxed with this new, much easier to handle tractor! Not feeling safe in those tight areas is crucial to quality of work and even your lives. You both make a good team! Last thoughts is that red is just awesome! Another thought is why not sell the Ford to another “beginner” and put that money to a project?
Sam & Angela great to see you have a reliable tractor.
Sam they make forks you can attach to the bucket. It would be much safer to have them and stand
on a pallet secured to the bucket then stand in the bucket.
So many attachments you can over the years ahead.
Nice addition to the farm
Congratulations. My husband loves his Massey
Congratulations on BIG RED, You all will love it
Congratulations, its money well spent. Let me give a little advise, when you build your tractor shed, make it twice as big as you think you need, as you will be purchasing other attachments. Example, I built a 12x36' addition on my garage for my JD 2025R and its full. When your washing it after use thats a good time to hit those grease fittings. Enjoy it, you find many uses for it you hadnt even planned on.
Woohoo!!! A new tractor!! Congratulations and Angela....I'm jealous! 😁
My husband has the same tractor. We bought it last year and it’s been our most used thing ever. It’s sooooooo handy!
Love the tractor! And Angela, I love how you just jumped on it and used it like a pro! Smart move on this purchase!
Every nice homestead needs good tools.I’m all about doing easy and fast. This is a great investment for you all! It’s a nice machine!
I’ve seen what laying down 3/4 minus gravel on dirt does. I don’t remember seeing in a past video you laying down underlayment followed by pit rock and then finally 3/4 minus.
More expensive in the short run, but worth in the long run.
Most likely you cautioned your son over the dangers of heavy equipment. A friend of ours accidentally ran over his 18 month old daughter in 2012 killing her. 😢
Congratulations on the new equipment.
Good for you guys , we are really happy for you !
Congratulations Everyone!!

Nice ride. Please also get ear protection and wear it for all who drive the 🚜.
No doubt about it. They need a pair that just sit around the steering wheel so they always have access to it.
I'm glad you decided on a new tractor to help you with your work. You'll enjoy it, I'm sure.
It's like I told my daughter. If you have acreage of any amount a tractor is a must and you won't regret buying. We have used ours soooo much. And like you said as you get older it is really handy for lifting tree trimming moving appliances you name it.
This is probably one of the sharpest looking tractors in this size that’s out there. And MF has a long and strong background. It’ll last y’all a long time and it’ll work hard for ya.
You folks are so deserving of a few great things to help make your property productive.....
Awesome. I'm so glad to see how you let your oldest son help you. I'm sure the young one helped also, but I have only seen the oldest one help. Love to watch y'all show.
Awesome guy's very nice tractor! God Bless you guy's!
Everything is looking good 👍
Always a pleasure to see you've posted a video. Great purchase! Thanks for sharing ❤
Nice tractor. I am sure y’all will get plenty of use of it. Be safe and enjoy. Thanks for your videos.
It will be wonderful to put in ground garden with it 🙏💕🥰👍 very happy for you guys God bless 🙏💕
Cool tracker. I like it good choice
Loved the program, thanks. God Bless you love from a fan that realy enjoys your video's😍
Training boys to be REAL men. Awesome!
Massey has been around along time. Great tractors. So happy for y’all.
Cool to see the recycled greenhouse in the background.
My wife works for one of the highest volume Massey/Mahindra/Bobcat dealers in the country and has for over a decade. You chose well. One of the best products on the market. When I was younger stronger healthier and whole lot more broke I had to shovel 37 tons of crushed red rock into a wheel barrow and spread it down a driveway. I didnt have the money to hire it done. Didnt have the resources to get my hands on equipment to do it. And I had a young family of four kids and a new single wide coming in a week. I refer to this as hell week lol
First of all, congrats! Game changer. It's funny, when I was watching your last tractor video I thought you need a tractor with a loader. As a fellow tennessean, a canopy roof thing that hooks to the ROPs it's a must to keep the sun off you in the summer, rain or snow in the winter. And pallet forks are your best friend. Unless I am moving dirt or rock they are on my tractor. You can thank me later. Oh, a cheap ibc tote can be turned into a nice man cage when strapped to the pallet forks, came in handy after the wind storm last Friday. Wife lifted me up to cut trees hanging over our private road.
Great Teamwork!!
You will find tons of uses for that tractor and loader. It will save you time. It will pay for itself. Congratulations on a good purchase.
Elijah should be old enough to learn & use the accessories. I was plowing & mowing with a large tractor when his age or before.
As long as y'all can afford the things you purchase, it's no problem. Sell the FORD
I think if you have a homestead and going in for the long haul, you need a tractor. 15 acres is a lot of land to mow! I say this is a great investment for you do not have to worry about renting or borrowing. Great job Angela, you seem very comfortable on the tractor. Like Sam said it is nice to have equipment both of you can use. Elijah was just so excited and glad he is able to have that experience.
Great job! It will save you in the long run! Proud for y’all
When I saw Angela on it I thought well Sam is not going to get to drive it to much. You go girl !!!
Hits close to home. I moved on to an acreage late in life. Bought a Ford 3000 to handle the chores. Had a loader and back blade. Found out real quick in the winter, open station and cold prairie winds aren't the answer for this old guy. After the sale of my city house, went out and bought a cabbed Massey 1742 with a loader and blower. One of the best attachments you can get for driveway maintenance is a land plane. I built my own out of scrap and it makes you a driveway master.
Impulsive NO WAY lol we are only getting older. Sam I have been trying to sell the same thing to Sara hahahaha She is like NO not yet. 😂🤣 Dump you out! LOL yeah you definitely need to make sure you are extra kind that day.
Graduations on your new toy I have a John Deere 2038 hour and I love it. It’s so nice to have when you need to move stoner dirt or whatever you need to move.
It's all good as long as you keep ''old blue'' in the family....
Great. You guys work hard and you deserve it.
Glad that you have this new tractor to help you do the work on your land. You two are so loving and supportive to each other. Love your humor and positive attitude you bring to your videos.
It looks like that front bucket has a heel on it which is a wonderful feature for backdragging/grading.
You should learn to use that heel and float control together.
Just put it on float and you can control how thick the gravel is by making tiny adjustments to the angle of the bucket.
I love backdragging that way. In fact it's easier in some ways because I don't have to look behind me to see what I'm doing with a box blade.
Good call on the Massey. My 1840M just broke 50 hrs. I love it!
I’ve had two back surgeries, three knee surgeries, neuropathy in my feet, and have had two strokes an ischemic and an hemorrhagic I’m very lucky to still be alive extra weight I carried for years was a very big contributor to my strokes, knee issues, neuropathy and back surgeries. Extra weight is very hard on your heart and by the time you realize it you’ve damaged your heart. So please start losing weight now, no processed foods, chips, limit anything that your body turns into sugar. Eat healthy natural foods it’s hard to change but your body will adjust and your body pains will subside greatly and you’ll both feel better and be able to do more. God bless your family I’ve lived this and I’m not being critical but you have young children you want to see grow up.
💗love the new tractor! enjoy and stay safe! blessings. 🚜
If you ever get forks on that you're going to wish that you got a tractor that has the mechanical parallel linkage on the loader.
That keeps the forks or the bucket at whatever angle you set it at as the boom goes up and down. An absolute must with forks so that you don't drop material or supplies on the ground, the tractor or yourself!
That feature I absolutely freaking love on all loaders!!! Unfortunately a lot of loaders don't have it.
For some reason a lot of people call that self-leveling but there is absolutely nothing self-leveling about it!
It maintains the angle that you set it to as it goes up and down.
Actually self-leveling is a feature on large construction site payloaders.
No matter where the boom is you can push a button and it will it will automatically level the bucket or forks.
That is the simplified explanation. Actually the bucket has to be at a negative angle then tap the control over all the way to the left. When it reaches 0 ° to the ground it stops.
They also have an automatic up feature for loading trucks. 😃.
Congratulations! So happy to see you treating yourself to something new! Should make things easier and more enjoyable.
You guys certainly deserve it considering how hard you both work. 👍
You have one of the healthiest marriages, families that I've ever seen.You respect each other abilities,interests limits and dreams.and...your passing that healthy way down to the next you've well thought out each step of your lives,applied discipline, creativity,faith and gratitude for all that you have,that you are that you plan- dream.At age 69 I'm learning a lot from you all.Stay safe and healthy.Best of luck with planting and harvest time.
You so much deserved that new toy…..it looks like it’s fun to drive too a very useful tool for ya
Welcome to the MF family buddy. These red tractors just keep working and never stop. I got my current MF 4 years ago after a lot of studying, comparing and taking in the benefit of a hydro so my wife, grown boys and grandkids would have a better experience using it. After 4 years, no maintenance headaches, flat tires from thorns don't count. Wait until you buy a 3 point tiller for the garden, it is so much easier. We use a rotary cutter and disc mower, rake and baler. If ya get back in those tree's, watch out for those lighs, I snapped off my left side light off the ropes bar about a month after we got it.
Glad to see you got y'all a better tractor 👍
Just a suggestion - instead of using your blade to smooth the gravel, use some chain link fabric (10 or 15 ft long) attached to 2x4 and about as wide as your tractor. The benefit being when your tractor goes over a hump or into a dip there is not a resulting hump or dip in your work. Result is very quick and professional looking. Enjoy your channel!
