    Our Story:
    We are four years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney
    Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled
    with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our
    pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden
    organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is
    to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living
    has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our
    journey!

    "Precious" our KX71-3 excavator had to take a trip to the dealer....you never know how much you'll miss something until it is gone! Stay tuned as next week we'll show you what happened to her. Check out our video when Precious first came into our lives here: th-cam.com/video/TDKsnQO9yxY/w-d-xo.html

    It does not look like a bad leak, hopefully it was something simple. I have been enjoying your channel.

      The suspense!! I'll put it this way....I doubt I will every buy any other brand than Kubota. Next Monday we'll reveal what happened. Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

    Hopefully it is something simple. I sprung a leak on my BX the other day and was all concerned looking underneath only to trace it up to my backhoe quick connects. Cleaned everything really good and tightened on of the connectors and it quit. 🤞🏼

      I had a leak on the thumb on the fence build video and it was just a fitting that had come loose, but this wasn't simple. 😞 But there is a silver lining....rest of the story next Monday. 😉 Take care Lucas. Brad&Deb

    Very nice machine, I’m currently in the market for a used mini, just missed out on a nice 121-3 due to being in South Carolina for the weekend🤦‍♂️

      Thanks. In tomorrow's video, I'll explain what went wrong with her. I'd love a KX40 or a U35, but I'm limited in what I can tow and what I can justify for a non-money making machine! Thanks for watching. Brad&Deb

      @@PineyGroveHomestead I’m not in the market for a money maker lol I just want one ! I can tow up to 13,000 with the pick up or else I’d have to get a tag trailer for the dump
