Way to go, Pete! Two years ago I had no idea what a Farmall tractor was. Yesterday, a roll off truck dropped a 1940 Farmall M in my driveway. It begins!
That’s awesome!
Congratulations! Get ready for an addiction!
I admire the way you work. Instead of going out there all mad and frustrated , you go the other direction…. You bring out your camera have a good attitude and get the job done! Thank you for shareing the ups and down of your farm.
I have favorite players to Pete. Some FYI Channel Lock makes a linesman plier version for wire twisting that concrete workers and ironworkers use as well as anyone writing wire that has a spring close to the head that opens the jaw up It makes it so much easier to used no having to open it Eve if it’s broke in and smooth. Saves crapes hands after using for a period of time. I never miss a video. Keep up the awesome job.
I've also always admired the way Pete completes his farm work, even if it's not a pleasant job.
Pete, I’m a retired high school Principal. I evaluated your teaching today: superior performance in all categories. Nice video, my friend.
Thanks for being a good friend and letting me share part of your day in beautiful surroundings .
Enjoyed working with you today.
It's always nice to hang out with you. You are a fun person to be around. Thank you for your time.
Yes, there is a lot of hard work on his farm but Pete is always optimistic and does it well.
There’s nothing like roasting wieners and having hot dogs on an open fire in the woods in the springtime. The smell of wet woods and the birds chirping and the view is awesome! Thanks so much brings back wonderful memories.
I've decided you bring the camera along on these long, tedious chores so you are 'forced' to be joyous in thy labours :) hehe. What ever it takes. yup yup. Since I'm retired I enjoy watching others do manual labor instead of myself. I find it very relaxing. So, thank you. Wheeeeeeeeee !
It’s great to see someone who so obviously enjoys his work even the annoying bits
@Cancer Journey Give it a little time. Creating a channel takes time. Have you seen too cute for Cancer. I used watched her channel, haven't seen any information about her in a while. Though I don't know your name, I'll be praying for you. ✌️🕯️💕🦋🤗🙂👋. Vee. Love, respect and positivity always.🙏💖.
One of the main reasons I bought my farm was to hunt (without asking permission). I had visions of using a dozen different stands for various conditions. However, what I learned is hunting on your own land means you hunt different. No treestands needed when the deer stand right outside your house. No camo, no deer pee, no sneaking around, no scent free showers, and no face paint necessary. Just hunt differently.
Hi all. Hang a plastic stop sign on the gate for the deers
🤣
Morning time outside with just you and nature. That’s peaceful.
AMEN!
Well the cows were probably back at the barn applauding your efforts!
😂 good one
I’ve had the same problem with some t posts
Those woodland creatures keep throwing the rocks back into your fields Pete!
Birds ... when our 5-y/o grandson was learning to identify birds, my wife taught him to recognize Bluejays. He was an expert ... then a bright red Cardinal was at the feeder ... "Look, grandma! A Red Jay!!"
I know how you feel Mr. Pete. I used to love to fish in the summer. Now I spend about all my time in my vegetable garden.
Pete. I'm not sure if this was ever your intention, but all of your videos are a great reminder that there are still good people out there. Your channel is played regularly at my house on the TV and myself as well as my wife and children love watching your videos. We live on 40 acres of land that needs to be cleaned up and we are working out hardest to make it a successful homestead and your videos are great motivation!
I’m feeling a new T-shirt for your merch shop, “ I like to do things wrong!”
Id buy it 😂❤
Think the "Post Quality Control Inspector" was sleepin' on the job. 👍💪🙏
The other way of using the bullet insulators is so if the insulator was to break the wire doesn't fall away but still stays hooked together. You don't have enough tension on your wire but on power lines like I worked on you would use it the other way for protecting anything or anybody below the electric line. Same thing for the guy wires.
Fields are coming along fine. Soon to be "Happy Cows" romping onto fresh feed. I love the way the tractor starts right up at the touch of the starter.
Take care,
jack
I remember fixing electrical fence every spring, I kind of miss it.
I'm also a person who likes to pause for a moment and take it all in. Thanks for that morning moment to appreciate all that is. 😊
It's beautiful and nice to listen to the birds.
I just wanted to tell you how much I like your videos. When I was a kid, about 65 years ago. I use to help my uncle on his small farm. It was abour 300 acers. He had a 2 row cultivator and a 2 bottom plow. I was too your to do much. He had a Farmall M. I thought it was huge!! I was only 10. Then in a few years he let cut the Kennedy acers. Yup- KENNEDY ACERS. That is how old I am. I thought the tractor was huge! I help my son-in-law now on his farm. The tractors are much bigger. But I love to see a small farm at work. I so enjoyed your videos on the Super C restore. You are so meticulous on your work. And how you name your animals. I would be a bad farmer. I would get attached to them and not was to sell them. Thank you for sharing how your farm is ran. Keep it up.
WOW! The guys and I just helped a friend rework a four strand hi-tensile electric and this video explains why we had to replace so many insulators!! Immaculate timing! Thanks Pete!
I think you will find the insulators are made for 1.25 pounds/foot posts and you have 1.33 pounds/foot posts.
As far as the fence post problems go: The phrase is: if it isn't one thing-- it is two things!
I never minded getting fencing ready for cattle and fixing fencing. The alternative is chasing livestock in the middle of the night.
I Hope Henry is having a blast at camp 🏕️
Good morning! Don't ever feel bad about your humor. We love it!
Plastic insulators are quick and handy but the old time ceramic ones last almost forever.
I suspect those clips are for 1.25 pound per foot posts and your posts are 1.33 pound per foot.
Love your videos!
Thanks for the video Pete. We use 2.00" poly electric fence at gates so deer can see it.
Good evening from Australia.❤️
Pete, next time you buy T posts look at the flange. There should be either the number 133 or 125 stamped on the flange. Insulators are made to go on the 125s. The number is the weight of the post per foot of length. 1.33 pounds per foot or 1.25 pounds per foot.
The frost brings up the rocks.
I'm sure you already know this, so this is for your viewers.
With the egg insulator, the way you do it puts it under tension, which is fine for low tension wires. The way it is designed to be installed puts it under compression which is much stronger with a high load.
Mr. Larsen is too nice a person to say that those out-of-spec plastics came from Tractor Supply. As I'm about 15 years older, I can recall a time when things made in America were the standard of the world. But the gov't borrowed and sold the people of the US out to Asian nations. No US manufacturer would have sold those clips out the door. And if they did, they wouldn't be in business after all the defective stock robbed the customers and had to be purchased from someone with standards. How polite he is, given being taken by the manufacturer, the distributor, wholesaler and retailer of money HE had to earn.
Good Morning Pete and Hilarie
We use a brand of clips that's black, and I can usually snap then over the t-post with a channel locks. Most of our T-posts have been replaced with fiberglass posts and wire clips.
I had to laugh when you were lifting your generator onto the trailer, a cow perfectly timed a bellow! As if he/she was helping to get that machine lifted onto your trailer. Thanks for the help cow! Enjoy your day Pete!
Hey pete, if you enjoy hunting make time for it, its good for mental health along with passing traditions down to your children. Keep up the good work.
Awesome fix on the insulators. Keep on fencin'.
Insulators are for areas where temps are measured in Celsius
What an enjoyable way to start my day...with you, Pete! 😁🎶🐦🌱🎶🤗 Thank you!
OMG the frustration I have been through with this style of insulators trying to put them on the t posts! Now I know why. I was blaming the insulator for being made to short, actually they are to short for all of my t posts even the ones I bought 10 - 30 years ago at another farm supplier. I had to look everywhere to find the old style insulators that actually fit, work & don’t break when hit by a animal or tree branch. At least now I know it’s not just me. Thanks Pete!
Pasture is looking great! Spring flush is finally here.. yeaaa.
“I like to do things wrong”. Almost spit out my food. Lol
Morning Pete and everyone else
It was a pleasure tagging along to fix post with you, Pete. :) A pleasure right to the last moment. I didn't want it to end.
I've never stepped foot on the farm yet somehow this channel has become my favorite TH-cam channel. I never miss an episode.
I can't seem to miss an episode either
The birdsong in the woods is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your day with us.😊
The pastures sure are looking lush and inviting. You are a bit farther ahead than in Wisconsin. Can't wait for spring to set in and planting kicks in.
Good morning Pete. Great to be with you this morning.
I sure do like your wife's UGA shirt more than the UF rag you wore today. Still love the channel.
Methinks you are avoiding offloading manure and firewood. Rather driving the Super C. You've earned it.. Blessings.
I don't like to have to change parts like that. Just want you to spend more money. I do like it when it all looks new again. I like a well groomed place. Work never ends.
Nothing beats an good pair linemen channel lock pliers.
Made in usa
Pete you need a pair of fencing pliers
Hey Pete, as usual love the videos. I swear I heard Patti in the background cheering you on with fence repairs. She's a happy cow, it's almost time to let her and gang out to pasture. As always thank you for taking time out of your busy day to bring us on your journey.❤️
Watching Pete do his farm work is always enjoyable, isn't it?
I just love the way that tractor starts
Good Morning Pete.
I missed Henry, too. Hope he has fun at camp.
A thing that can work on if you ever have issues with animals getting in or out is alternation the t posts 180 degrees each time. This way the insulators are facing two different directions and the wire is almost weaved in the posts. It makes for a stronger fence in my experience
Greetings from Indonesia, Mr. Pete. Been a long time viewer, and today you mention Indonesia by name, so I guess it is a good time to say hello. Man, I can only dream about running a farm like you are.
You got capital T post and lower case t insulators 😂😂😂
Pete ! Your favorite pair of plyers looks just like my favorite pair . Yup hot wire fixin" never seems to end . Love you channel and the endless entertainment it provides .
Not gonna lie beautiful tractor
Pete - you need to make time for hunting. You should do things you like to do. We enjoy your videos.
When he says “look how green everything is “, what he means is that dark green color that you only get from high nitrogen. It’s a well fertilized pasture (fertilized with manure). It’s a beautiful pasture. Love that color.
And the best part of riding fence is being able to go back to the barn at the end of the day to tell Patty that you spent the WHOLE day out on the pasture, and didn't eat a single blade of grass. That'll really maker her holler.
Is Henry going for his Eagle Scout? Good to hear kids are still doing that.
Learned something new! Fencing is very important that I knew. How to repair it was the learning experience and it is something I never knew. The farm experience has so many activities you have never seen. I enjoy it!
There is a great channel on here called "learn your land" and teaches you what to forage and what not to eat. Highly educated and understand the pathophysiology. Learned that dandelions have 5x the amount of vitamin c than and orange! And we just call them a weed/nuisance.
Mr.Pete, you could try tying some strips of white cloth on that gate into the woods. It will help the deer see it and either stop or jump over rather than blasting through. Those birds are definitively Grossbeaks. Not sure which variety you have there but here in NW Minnesota we have Rose Breasted and Evening Grossbeaks quite prominently. Thanks for sharing!
So glad you show folks to use the tools they have. If I was there I would take the dandelions and make the dandelion jelly for your family.
I have roughly 1 mile of picket fence for a critter fence. What a chore. But, it is beautiful.
I always hung sections of plastic bags on the wire where the deer travelled so they could see them. They have no trouble jumping any farm fence.
Use porcelain end insulators and you will never get arcing , cost more but they last forever
"Revenge of the Posts" is what happens when you make fun of units of measure. 😄
Another lovely video, Pete. I'm sitting on the boat drinking coffee. When you called for the birds yo make noise, the sea gulls around here started to squawk. I'm not sure you realize the reach of your vids. 😄
Hello Mr.Pete, thank U 4 the "T" post lesson & Ur time to make the always pleasant to view videos.
From 🇷🇺 with ❤️!
You make dull jobs seem fun . Looking forward to watching the cows get released out to pasture : )
A day to vent you feelings about the fencing materials you had pirchased for the job - knowing it was not be to a perfect fit. All the while, bringing your posititve attitude with you. It's good to see someone who loves his work - with its seasonal bad choice replacements. Everyday blessings with your family - Vern
They call them "Guy Strain Insulator Johnny Ball" and yes the purpose of setting them up that way is if ball breaks the cable/wire is still connected utility companies use them for guide wire installation and are a safety device for preventing current making its way to ground
When I bought t-posts I requested made in USA because of better quality steel. My local farm store in Montana said that's all they carry 😊
HI there Pete. I understand your frustration with those metric posts. I was about half way through my schooling when New Zealand decided to change to the Metric System overnight! You talk about throwing a spanner in the works...they threw the whole toolbox in!. It affected every area of our lives...literally! It generated a group of people that were orphaned from their imperial ancestry and had to learn to converse with their new metric foster parents. The upshot...I still gauge someone's height in feet and inches but their weight in kilograms...go figure.
I was remembering how many times I pulled the ring to start one of our tractors.
What was Hilary making for lunch? That's my motivation to get these kind of jobs done!
Relaxing to watch you work sir. Dandy tractor.
This takes me back to my child hood days. Early Spring days brought in Fence building on pasture ground. Only difference, we were building Woven wire fence for Hog pasture .
Good afternoon from south west Scotland 🏴 hope you and family are well x
Here watching you work in a t-shirt and leaves on the trees. While I'm sitting here in the house looking at snow still on the ground and 36 degrees outside.
Great viewing you guys as usual !! Thanks !
Hi Pete, That tractor sure does sound "sweet".
1:00 😳🤣 Dang birds. Great video. Thank you Pete.
Hi Pete, those Ramsons are actually a wild form of garlic. In the southern half of Germany, where there are highly valued traditionally as an addition to meals, mainly because it's the first edible greenery and is also considered 'cleaning the blood' after a long winter of eating salt pork and potatoes😃
Go Gators! Thanks, and keep up the great content!
Id like to see the effort you put into restoring tractors applied to a trailer some day. Think of it as a complimentary tractor attachment
What really work well is an old garden hose
Glad you found those pliers.
Thank you Pete for sharing these little nuggets of your life. Your consistent positive outlook and vibrant spirit are a wonderful example for all!
God Bless your family and best wishes for another great year on "Just a Few Acres Farm"...
