Justin, you need to buy the service and parts manuals for all the equipment you own. They are worth their weight in gold, especially since your oldest son seems mechanically inclined. He just needs time to learn, and those service manuals are very indepth. Highly recommend for such an expensive investment and such a crucial farm tool.
THIS
Definitely and with Cars, Haines manuals you can actually call them to ask questions for free.
You do get a manual with the equipment I expect? Just a question of reading them.
Husband heavy Equipment Mechanic for 40 years says invest in the manual s. Save you thousands he says!!
Yep! And make a paper copy
So nice to see Jonah smiling so much again
He's so tall now that he's straight
Lily is going to make a great mom, wife and business woman. I love her creativity and imagination.
Team Lily!❤🥰💯
@@elaineekberg113Please don't pigeon-hole Lily. She is a great person overall and very deserving of all the things she can imagine.
Well said. She is years beyond her chronological age. Her cooking skills are already beyond most young ladies that are living on their own out of college. I just hate hearing, "but I don't knowhow to cook".
Pro tip: shut the engine down on the skid steer or that of any hydraulic unit and the move the controls back and forth for the circuit that you are going to hook up this will discharge any pressure in the system it will make a world of difference hooking up the fittings on your attachments
I love seeing how good Jonah is doing and seeing his smiling face. He's a very hard working young man and a very good example for the younger ones to follow.
How good he is moving warms my heart
So encouraging to see such responsible, hardworking, smart, and kind children... way to go Mom/Dad in raising this countries next generation.
So wonderful seeing Jonah back in full swing. He is so resourceful & very skilled!
The cat has a hairball. The sound is very distinctive 😂
your Mechanic is a god send,i guess he is there when he is needed....GOOD MAN
Mark knows his stuff! He is awesome!
It really amazes me how much those boys do to help the farm!! Jonah it’s great seeing you out and about on the farm! Great video today!
You have to be absolutely proud of your kids. They are way too smart and they handle so many things around there that some adults can't even do. Way to go kids....
Just more proof that homeschooling/living teaches kids so much more than traditional education.
@@karenwood8300 nope, it doesn't
also i wonder if they know stuff like their Grammar, history, math, nutrition some of another language besides English, science, their reading 🤔, or all the different currencies of the world etc.
But do they have time and energy to real learning? Not just how to work on farm, but for their future education? What about collage? Another work outside the farm? What about relationships with other children of same age? What about socialization? Developing first romantic relationships? Yes, they are core working force on this farm, but they are still young children. And like Josiah once said - I don't know, I had no choice (about why he went to elevated farm and work there) - and it is very sad from not even true teenager.
This video had so much good content, I wish it hadn't been quite so chaotic so i could have followed it better. But it sure did show how all of those children are hard working, smart and willing to do whatever they are asked to do. Kudos to Jonah and Josiah for working during their playtime to make it easier to get the next big project done. I think we found another strong point for Jonah - that boy knows how to fell some big trees. Lily is definitely the one who can hold down the domestic side of the homestead and she is smart enough to get her own YT channel going.
the tools you're teaching your kids, is priceless.
When you and the kids get up early (eat breakfast early) and don't have to keep going back to the house....you really get a lot done in a day! Great job on the poplar haul.
Lilly is such a sweet HELPFUL Mini MOM! The guy that wins her Heart will be the LUCKIEST Guy in the world! Jonah, You are so smart and handy to have helping build the Homestead! Josiah is learning all of the jobs around the homestead too! He really stepped up when Jonah was unable to help during his accident and recovery! MOM & DAD, your so amazing raising your kids to appreciate everything they earn. 🙏🏻👍👏😇😎❤️🎉
9:22 your boys are miniature men! Yeah they'll have great stories to tell their future families!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The young sirs look so sharp with their haircuts, well done👊 Lily is, as always, amazing.
Personally, I liked the more natural, Euro look.
Those boys are AWESOME! And….so is Lily! Lily is the bomb!
Lily has her stuff together more than some woman I know in their 30's lol
Rebecca, when you go to get onions out of that netting, instead of cutting the onion off, try Slicing the side webbing and pull them out. Then you can reuse these next year. I meant to comment the other day and forgot.
That's a great idea, I also wondered about the tails you're supposed to leave on..
If like to know where she finds it.
Great team work. Lilly is a big part of the team. Keeping the men full of great meals....
I sorely wish I could afford to join the special subscription of you folks. Perhaps one day...God Bless you wonderful family ❤️
Brook🧑🌾🍏🍎
You have a solid army of motivated junior homesteaders. Good team work. Make sure not to ever loose this treasure, Justin.
😊Boys are back to their action packed selves...both with smiles...
I wish every young person had the opportunity to do meaningful work as yours do. What young man wouldn’t enjoy driving the equipment. Better than video games! I love how you engage them with problem solving and give lots of praise. Wonderful kiddos.
I never noticed that you weren't smiling so much cause, well, you're working. It is a little weird to see but I already know that you are immensely happy and grateful so doesn't need it.
JUSTIN, no kidding. the smiling has been very noticable I feel it down to my bones!! Thank you Thank you. THE WHOLE TIME WE ARE WATCHING WE ARE SAYING CALL MARK, bc those machines cost a small fortune. (Does Lily have a channel now?) Love these long vlogs...please be very safe & most healthy & happy. This is not sentiment , we need you all to be very happy & healthy!!! even the cat, who is could be coughing up furballs!!
Never a dull moment !! Lily coming up with something new all the time ‼️‼️‼️
Justin, invest in a good set of End Wrenches. You will round off every Bolt, on that machine with that Cresent Wrench. Your have an amazing family, and they are very smart and hard workers. Very Blessed.
I just subscribed on Lilys channel! I would absolutely love seeing some of her baking videos! She makes baking look so simple.
Justin (and Fam) if I could give this two likes 👍✨ I Would!!! Y'all are living it, truly. 🤠
All I can say is what a well oiled machine, your family rocks...even with lil underwear head...lol, but I'm exhausted now...awesome video kids...!!!
Justin got his right-hand man back! So happy to see Jonah back helping his dad. It is a blessing to see. God bless ya'll! ❤️
This was a very well made video! Thank you for sharing your life with us
You guys are awesome! So happy you are all safe! Blessings 💕🤗
All your kids are amazing, it's so awesome watching them grow and learn. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Way to go Jonah running and taking care of that machine. That's so great that you can find enough locust on the farm to do your deck! Darn, hydraulic fluid leaking! I'm so glad you found so many locust trees for your deck and got them in one day! That was great to see Mark fix up the excavator at the end! Thanks for this video Rhodes family!
Your young man is doing a great job running the excavator,the more he operates it the better he l will be
So grateful you all had a good productive day.
I watch your vlog for a couple of reasons. One is that you live in my old neck o' the woods. Another, is that I love animals and although it's far past the time that I would want to start an adventure such as yours, if I were 20, or 30, I could see it. The main reason I watch your channel though is that I'm so impressed with your kids. They're wonderful but I know that kids would not wonderful without such awesome parents. And you know what awesome kids raise? Awesome grandkids. You two are totally rocking this parenting thing and I applaud you both. Bravo!
And BTW, I was operating heavy equipment when I was 18. It won't hurt Lilly to know how.
I'm also very glad the mullets were short lived.
Finally, it's great if you can get 10' out of a tree but it would be better if you can get logs in 8' 12' and 16' lengths. More useable.
Fantastic day with Jonah and Josiah. This will be an all time memory for them as they sit on the deck reminding each other of the day they cut the material for it. Stay safe and have a Blessed day. BTW it is amazing how much Gideon has matured this past year. He is looking and sounding like Jonah.
Jonah is back in the driving seat of the farm! I love to see it! Praise be!
I love watching you guys. Just stay safe and don't let a tree fall on any of you. We don't need anybody else in the hospital. Keep up the good work.
Justin your kids are amazing you and Rebecca shld feel so proud…those kids can do most anythjng and they think out if the box…❤
I liked the longer video. Wonderful to have a window into your life. Such great people.
Wow, amazing work force, all of you! Thanks for sharing! Great story! Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦
A fantastic video, Thank you!
Your sons are amazing with the work and problem solving they do on the farm and Lilly is a very hard working young lady and very business like she is amazing in her cooking too, she is lovely, not to mention Mr Brown is doing a lot with chores too. Justin and Rebecca you can be so proud of your children.
WOW how wonderful to see Jonah doing his thing on the homestead, his energy is so bright he's shining from being back on track with his body:) Blessings to him and your entire family!
❤I LOVE WATCHING YOUR FAMILY....YOUR CHILDREN ARE SO SPECIAL....GOD BLESS YOU ALL ❤
It really is fun, challenging, people like us could never be sedentary. And the joy of sharing, problem solving with your boys out there, how cool.
Awesome how great you guys work👍🏽
Save the tarp off the easy up to cover a chicken tractor, or a garden etc... too much waste. All the lumber you threw out from the house rebuild you could have built wooden tree savers.
Lilly's Life, loved her baking muffins video. Would love to have the recipes, list of ingredients and measurements, oven temps and bake time. Love her smiles in the kitchen.
Just love the haircuts, after such a long time all shaggy now so sharp!❤❤❤❤❤
Great all around video, everyone gettin it done!!
Always good when there's a Mark cameo.
Just working so inspired by you and your family, I am starting because of you and your channel building my homestead and I will documenting on my TH-cam channel,it is small farm but it will be sweet 😊
Henry is such a cool kid. I think he has been here before. Bless him!
Wow! What a fantastic day of accomplishment. All that work y'all did in the hundred days of clearing land has given you the valuable skills and confidence needed to get that job done.
I admire Y’all! But Jonah you are a Radiant Genius 🌟!
God Bless you all 🌼
Jonah is a rock star! All your kiddos are destined for amazing futures!…so so impressed with how you and The beautiful one have raised your kids..blessings❤
Don’t forget Josiah, Lily, Mr. brown and their friends! All hard working teens and kids. The, little one is learning from his siblings too.
Love the independence these children have been encouraged in.
I am a bit confused. When there is question of where to fill lube, or how to tell if it is at at the proper level? Wouldnt you just get out the operators manual?
I Love Your Long Videos! Thanks!
Glad you like them!
You and your family are hard workers.😊
Y'all see Marks bicep? looked like a pillow case with a soft ball in it!!! 🤣
I am so excited for your house and deck. It's gonna be better than you could have imagined. It just touches my heart.
You all crushed it!!
Lilly is a star
We planted maple trees 47 years ago on our property, years later our boys climbed the same trees and we also tapped the maples for syrup. 3 years ago we had to cut down the trees so we had my brother log and cut into lumber and now it is our kitchen floor.
Jonah and his machine ‼️‼️ going bullish ‼️‼️ 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Jonah "This might be party over today" LOL!! Thank you for letting us be "part" of your family!
ChatGPT estimates are made using the exact dimensions for each plank. Any cuttings from the logs that are less than the dimensions needed are discarded. It's basically giving you the best plank from each log.
I love the call out to Jonah and have missed it.
Glad you notice. I missed it too :)
"I've been trying to tell ya": Teenager or adult? The way he works one would think the latter. Grab more than you need for the sawmill to cut up as the extras will get put to use with the building you do. The sounds of primordial ecstasy are resounding when somebody buys a tool on that farm.🛠🦍
I know there’s time, but Jonah is going to make some young girl a great husband. He is such a good young man and he was very truthful when he said he couldn’t wait to be able to get back to work on the farm.
Jonah is amazing!
Blessings to all!
Locust are hardest to grow because in first year or 2 the roots go DOWN at 10 feet. You grow licust trees in like 6-7 feet of pipe instead of buckets. I hope you plant some back. Locust are so strong and go deep they are great to prevent erosion and wont fall on mountain side like other trees.
Can you add a wood chip bin and feeder for the wood stove. You can chip right into the bin. The feeder bin roof as a deck build it in now.
Great work.
Yall guys are quite smart , efficient, handy,mechanical! I think yall should splurge on few pairs of steel toe boots, even some hand me downs to grow into. Maybe people close by. I know boys grow fast,
Great work yall
I just subscribed to Lily ‘s channel. Lily you are something else! Intelligent, full of ideas and energy, a big part of the running of the farm and always thinking a step ahead! Now add an artist, and very articulate in explaining the steps in drawing a horse. Get this channel out there. You ll have your own following and can use your income to finance the care of your horse!! Use your horse - video lessons in how to care for a horse, how to saddle, etc, how to ride, the vet aspect of a horse - this will grow your channel which will relate to more money to put towards the things you need when you have a horse! You are an entrepreneur in the making!!
What is her channel?
Can you leave a link to Lily’s channel 😊❤
Shown in video.
Lilly is such a hard worker and has been for years and deserves/earned her horse and stable after all the boys & adults have new excavator, new bobcat, new bike, new quad bike, new truck, new side by sides ohh and a new house!!!! Dont you think it is about time Lilly has her horse and stable
I agree. That little girl better get her horse, and soon. She more than deserves it and I want to to see her face light up when she realizes it's hers.
In due time.
Do you not have to dry out that Locustwood before you build the deck with it?
I hope all y'all are safe and secure as the tropical storm comes your way.
Well done. Good job. You very lucky man and women because you have good sweet children. Good idea really toys for kids. Save yourself please.
They make RF controlled outlets that you could use to turn your fence on and off while in the field.
Jonah is a great engineer
I have husqvarna saws too and it seems you really have to leave it idle for a minute when you first start it to let it warm up otherwise they don’t want to run
Famous baby signing to you he’s gotta poop 😂 made my day
1/2 to 1 gallon jar. Fill half way with cream and shake shake shake. Ask Mr Google pants where you add fluid.
Jonah one thing my dad taught me when burning a bush pile is dirt don’t burn ever bit of dirt remove makes it burn quicker
You could be getting air in your hydraulic lines. Trapped air in hydraulic systems can adversely impact performance because air is compressible and hydraulic fluid is not.
💥❤️ Lilly is amazing....what a hard worker, Servant and I sure hope she gets A HORSE 🐎...she is so motivated and doing all that cooking and even cleaning. So special each and every one of your kids are 🌞❤️
She'll get a horse, she 100% deserves and works her little tail off. It's clearly not a passing interest for her, the is a "horse girl" through and through. Justin, we're being patient, but we NEED the "Lilly's horse" video, we all can't wait to see her face when she gets it! :)
LOL.
I subscribed to Lily’s channel and so have my 2 youngest granddaughters. ❤❤️❤️👍
What is Lilys channel?
Love this.
@Lilyslifeshow
Hey, Rhodes family! ❤👋🏻❤️
It is rice dust and starch that is coming off the rice. not dirt. If you give a light rinse you get rice that is stickier, if you wash till clear is is loose grains.
I bet your neighbour feels like he’s lost his boys to you, Justin, what with all the fun they’re having!
