Heyyyy ! 👋 those squash can grow like crazy just overnight ! The big ones I cut in half and scrape out seeds ...cut up other veggies and you can add ground sausage ...turkey is really good with the zucchini amd veggies sprinkle with Romano cheese and shredded cheese ...I like hot pepper ... white cheddar ...and provolone or mozzarella...wrap in foil approximately 30 to 60 min dependant on size of zucchini...I like to uncover to brown cheese slightly for maybe the last 10 minutes or less. Season the stuffing with your favorite spices and a tablespoon of butter cut up into the stuffing. Forgot about that part 🙃...baby turkeys lookin' good ! Tasty good later ! 🤭 have a blessed day ! Missing Rebekah .. Where's your dogs haven't seen them.for a while...did I miss something ? We've been under the gun since May ....so just catching up. See ya ! 😊
Evan I have been picking my tomatoes just as they start turning red and they ripen in a couple days. I have a volunteer cantaloupe growing out of a mulch pile that is 4' tall and it has almost covered it completely with many melons on it. Weeds in the garden is nearly a full time job.
When I got my Kubota L4060 I thought it was a big enough tractor to handle my needs. I should have bought an M series tractor to handle all the farm chores in Missouri.
My wife and I have been eating tomatoes for several weeks and last weekend we canned 12 quarts. Everyday I go out and pick more, love those tasty things!
The "problem" of fixing things over the "phone" is "it" hardly ever works. The "problem" is, you just have a "super articulating" loader assembly....with about 170° of "flex-rotation". Perhaps a flexible-spring-loaded mast to "prop-up" ALL that hydraulic ( nessary) hose. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
I made the best salsa out of zucchini, tomatos, and peppers. Added a little liquid smoke, and oh man was it good. I'm glad I canned a lot of it. Time to do it again.
I breakout from bean leaves. I go and put my arms under cool water and then wash with soap and water and pat dry, it takes care of the itching and rash.
Do zucchini leaves cause rashes? "The leaves and stems are covered with urticating fibers which can be irritating. These are small glass-like fibers that break off in your skin when you brush against them. There is no toxin injected when this happens, it is rather like the rash that is caused by handling fiberglass insulation."
I use a stick to dg around my squash and zucchini plants because they have little stickers on their leaves which cause my arms to itch too, that was a massive zucchini.
Putting that large of a grapple on that tractor looks like putting an adult-size boxing glove on a small child. Probably need to get a smaller grapple or just use the large grapple with your larger tractor. But... your making more headway on your homestead and that's what is important!
big zucchinis ...slice them down length wise ...scoop out the seeds on each side stuff cooked Taco meat or vegetarian fixings place it in oven till baked(usually 30 minutes ) take them out sprinkle shredded cheese on it.....
I have the same tractor and grapple. They’re awesome. For your information, there is also a hose hanger on the other end of the grapple that could work instead of using zip ties. I had Pioneer couplers installed on mine rather than the flat face skid steer couplers. No need for adapters that way.
I don't understand your reasoning for not using the bigger tractor to get things done. For a fellow who knows what's right and wrong, you waste a lot of time Jimmy rigging hoses , bending plates, stretching hoses and breaking fitting for no reason. That little tractor is amazing why wreck it.
you can put a foot switch on the floor to operate the diverter. hydraulic surplus center has them. if the dont have them since they are a surplus parts place i have one new in box i dont see myself using. if you have a need i can give it to you.i bought it for a yanmar i no longer have.
I had the exact same problem with my grapple hoses being too tight, so I used a couple of long zip ties to give them a little more slack. Luckily, I didn't need too much more so just tied the hoses to the same place on the grapple but was able to let them hang a little lower using the zip ties. Oh, on the stump killer. I've been trying (unsuccessfully so far I might add...lol) to eradicate the Honey Locust on our property and read that it's best to apply stump killer during the fall when the tree is pushing all nutrients down into the root system for the winter instead of spring/summer when it's pulling the nutrients up from the ground into the branches for growth and to produce the seed pods. Made sense to me so I'll be trying it this fall...🤷♂
Evan if you make a bigger chicken tractor for your turkeys try cattle or pig panels with a wooden frame around the bottom. You might have to make a couple of them and have to move them using the one of the tractors. You now have two tractors each when you finish repairing the one in the barn. Plenty of HP to use. I've seen three tractors with two semi haulers chained together pulling one burned out combine out of a field covered in three feet of snow.
i think those new neo magnets may be strong enough to keep it mounted to floor if you put a quick disconnect ? this way you can add it in 30 seconds and have it out of the way the 90% you dont need it
The garden is looking great. I always tell myself I'm going to keep up with the weeds at the beginning of the year, and it never happens lol. Keep it up great video
With the hoses routed down the center of the grapple, it looked like they were hanging (looping) below the lower claw and dragging on the ground…. Looks like they might be able to snag something if not careful.
One year my Dad planted pumpkins along an old fence row and grew great out by itself and grew on the yard and we ended up not having to mow that area all summer
Having a Green Thumb Could Give You a Red Rash "It can happen with zucchini, cucumber, pumpkins, or other plants that have prickly hairs on their vines. The rash can appear where the contact occurred on your skin, or it can show up on other areas of your body."
If you are on a budget like I am, I always use pallet forks to slide under piles of brush to pick it up. I once picked up a pile the size of a van and carried it 100 yards. Logs are easy to pick up and relocate as well!
Thanks for sharing Evan and Rebecca, you both were really busy today around the property, looks great with all you got done. Do you have chiggers around there? That's what they do when you get even near to them and they do itch and burn. Hope it settled after you got washed up. I think the grapple was a little too big for the smaller tractor and with all the trouble it caused I think it would be better to use the big tractor instead of switching back and forth to the littler tractor, but what do I know?? Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
I believe that the itchyness is from the stem of the zucchini. I also saw a video recently that you should cut off the leaf "under" the zucchini that you harvest. Supposedly it prolongs the life of the plant.
I like the grapple, wish I had one, I guess a guy can't have everything. Well I think your garden looks good, my garden is horrible, we didn't stay up with it at all. Anyways, I enjoyed watching, thanks and have a good week!
You are getting into the stinging nettle. I saw it around the zucchini. That’s why your arms are stinking and burning after being in the garden. Look up stinging nettle for care and a treatment. Removal of the weed is best.
Perhaps you may need to look into some swivel connectors which are the norm for a standard four in one front bucket. Lots in UK never seen many on your farm channels, just the grapple. Thank you for posting.
Tordon is a great product. I always recommend that brand to my customers and family. Except my hippy dippy customers...they prefer that i cut down the same brush honeysuckle every two years when they refuse to use herbicide on their property.🤔 It makes me sad when i see volunteers and my state Conservation Department pulling invasive honeysuckle out by the roots when so many of my customers refuse to get rid of it on their own property. (or even some that actually like it because it smells pretty and has a sparrows nest in it!?!) Any brand with Triclopyr as an active ingredient is good stuff.
1:59 The tractor's horsepower doesn't have anything to do with how heavy the grapple should be. All of the 15 series use the same hydraulic pump, all the way up to 48 horsepower, and they all have the same lift capacity of 2,200 pounds. A lighter grapple would just allow you to lift more payload weight.
I’ve been looking at getting a grapple for my tractor just not sure what style grapple I want I have a 4 in 1 bucket that I love for picking up loose debris like grass and leaves and the last bit of dirt you usually push around with your standard bucket but some of the brush if it’s not perfectly all laying the same way it’s hard to grab it like grapple but I also use the 4 in 1 bucket for biting scrap metal and appliances when loading trailers for the junk yard
Evan: Try going into the zucchini patch and removing about 50% of the biggest leaf and stems on each plant just cut them off with a knife down as far as you can reach. You will itch 100% less and you can catch them before they get too big. We slice them length wise coat with spray olive oil, seasoned salt and pepper, garlic and onion powder and grill them. We do this to the small ones less than a foot long. Love the channel JeffinMaine
Evan, do you have the seat safety switch bypassed. Seen you off the seat when hooking up grapple and engine didn’t stop. That is kinda dangerous. Bob in Illinois

Hi.... Evan and Rebecca thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Evan, what happened to your two Pooches?
I use Zucchini to make relish. I use an old family recipe. Best relish ever.

Where's your dogs haven't seen them.for a while...did I miss something ? We've been under the gun since May ....so just catching up. See ya ! 😊
You are getting zucchini itch. Wear long sleeves or get a zucchini sleeve. Vines have very fine needles that give a rash.
Enjoy the video Evan .
That grapple is a Helpful piece of equipment. I only wish that Tractor Supply & grapples would have been around 40-years ago
Never a dull moment when doin farm work 😊😊
Evan, I think you and your wife have the best on you tube/FB thats were I watch it.
Great Video , turkeys getting loud....😊
The weeds aren't going anywhere, you'll get to them when you can, garden is doing great!!
Evan I have been picking my tomatoes just as they start turning red and they ripen in a couple days.
I have a volunteer cantaloupe growing out of a mulch pile that is 4' tall and it has almost covered it completely
with many melons on it. Weeds in the garden is nearly a full time job.
Evan you have tractors one with a backhoe. no reason you couldn't pull those stumps and clean up that area once in for all!
When I got my Kubota L4060 I thought it was a big enough tractor to handle my needs. I should have bought an M series tractor to handle all the farm chores in Missouri.
The number one buyer regret is too small horse power tractor. Buy a bigger tractor just in case of future needs.
It is the Zucchini making you itch, happens to me too, every darn time I get into the zucchini or squash plants.
Feeding pumpkins to the cows is a good way to help deworm them cause pumpkin seeds have deworming properties in them

You should probably try a copper Nail and Hammer it in, each Stump

Great job!!
suggestion use bungee straps to hold hosed they will allow for little flex where zip ties won't

The hairs on the zucchini plant can be like fiberglass. Makes
My arms itch all the time. Fortunately, usually goes away after washing
Thx again
In police & first responder supply stores they make
Forearm knife sleeves. They will help protect you - just keep them washed and dry by air.
big zucchinis ...slice them down length wise ...scoop out the seeds on each side stuff cooked Taco meat or vegetarian fixings place it in oven till baked(usually 30 minutes ) take them out sprinkle shredded cheese on it.....
Nothing wrong with those big zucchini’s. We use to grow some that would get almost as big as softball bats! They were still very edible!
Make great zucchini bread
The blue stuff is great. Down in Georgia it is great for keeping pine trees 🌲 from coming back!!!!!!!
I didn't think pines came back
its a quality aluminum footswitch. i can draw you a wire diagram if you are not a wizard of wires, this was my wheelhouse for decades. im retired now
Place is looking good.
Progress is what it's all about. Good job!

What Brand is this Grapple, I'm have a trouble finding a grapple of this style.
Evan, I would go with all flat-face skid steer connectors. Less leakage.
Thanks Evan

That dang zucchini! 😂 There is always one that you didn't see until its a behemoth.😃
Did say that screened soil is seed free from weeds ,
I had the exact same problem with my grapple hoses being too tight, so I used a couple of long zip ties to give them a little more slack. Luckily, I didn't need too much more so just tied the hoses to the same place on the grapple but was able to let them hang a little lower using the zip ties.
Oh, on the stump killer. I've been trying (unsuccessfully so far I might add...lol) to eradicate the Honey Locust on our property and read that it's best to apply stump killer during the fall when the tree is pushing all nutrients down into the root system for the winter instead of spring/summer when it's pulling the nutrients up from the ground into the branches for growth and to produce the seed pods.

I would have someone with a stump grinder take them clear out for you.
Hello Evan
i think those new neo magnets may be strong enough to keep it mounted to floor if you put a quick disconnect ? this way you can add it in 30 seconds and have it out of the way the 90% you dont need it
That would be the better way to pick things up in my opinion because you can really see what's going on better
Thx

Pumpkins do the same to my arms as well. Especially when carving, itchy and red.
Our tomatoes are way behind this year as well. Just starting to get ripe ones . Crappy weather
One year my Dad planted pumpkins along an old fence row and grew great out by itself and grew on the yard and we ended up not having to mow that area all summer
Have u ever tried green fried tomatoes? They r good. Just a thought
Do a video where you are mowing the yard at your farm again!

"It can happen with zucchini, cucumber, pumpkins, or other plants that have prickly hairs on their vines. The rash can appear where the contact occurred on your skin, or it can show up on other areas of your body."
The 2515 reminds me of a Fiddler Crab with it's big claw. Good video. L9ve your channel.

Great keep up the good work love your videos thank you more more
i bought them adapters in case i borrow an attachment with flat connectors. a lot of leverage on them 9'' adapters

The Big Grapple on a little tractor is like biting off more than you can chew.
@@bay9876 NOT SO !! He got the job done didn't he, just had too many headaches getting it set up to the little tractor.
Always brings a smile to me when I watch your videos. Love to see how you accomplish your tasks
I believe that the itchyness is from the stem of the zucchini. I also saw a video recently that you should cut off the leaf "under" the zucchini that you harvest. Supposedly it prolongs the life of the plant.

Well for some reason my 4 year old loves the farm videos. So keep them coming
The zucchini leaves and stems have little spines on the that irritate the skin. Vegetable farmers wear long sleeves when they pick them.
The garden looks great !
What a wonderful job with those grapples. You guys are doing a great job.on the homestead.
Didn't you guys have 2 Australian Shepherds???
You can let the zucchini get really big and make zucchini sauce, so good!
Hi Evan and Rebecca. We love looking at your videos. All interest on your farm. Been looking for a long time. Love out of South Africa. ❤❤
Why didn't you feed the branches you cut off to the goats? They would love them!
Did you mean you need to change the tractor for a skid steer.😊
The plants from your garden are doing that. Happens to me if I don't put on long sleeve
You are getting into the stinging nettle. I saw it around the zucchini. That’s why your arms are stinking and burning after being in the garden. Look up stinging nettle for care and a treatment. Removal of the weed is best.
Great job Evan! Farm looks great!
Do you milk the cow?
My arms break out from zucchini also. Pigweed that is going to seed same, itchy.
Zucchini and squash plants both break me out. The worst is the corn stalk and leaves.
👍👍👍👍👍👌
Perhaps you may need to look into some swivel connectors which are the norm for a standard four in one front bucket. Lots in UK never seen many on your farm channels, just the grapple. Thank you for posting.
Zucchini does that to me too!!
Evan is the Weed Fabric Not Working or the Weeds just Growing where you didn’t put Weed Fabric Down ?

Good Works Tractor shows what Grapple would probably best work for you. One grapples and the other works like a rake.
Dawn dishwashing liquid will wash off the invisible oil on your skin that makes poison ivy such an irritating condition.
Why so many weeds in the garden? Isn't the fabric supposed to prevent them from growing?

westport wa. state here.
not to big. looks just right.
Its the time of year that you have to lock your can when you leave it unattended or people will put zucchinis on the back seat

A lot of people is also allergic to the tomatoes leaves. I have this type of allergy.
Indirectly, the Tordon will cause the stump to rot faster. The stump won't rot very fast if it has life in it.
Have a great Sunday from Casey Illinois. How many tractors you have now, 4 or 5?
That’s definitely contact dermatitis of some sort! Benadryl and hydrocortisone cream might help!
Clear those bushes behind were your were when you started. Why do everyone over plant zucchini’s.
And squash. W
