Simply Sustainable Family Homestead
США
Добавлен 18 фев 2021
Our goal for this channel is to help you and your family learn how to homestead in a simple and sustainable way.
We are a homesteading family of 5. Our names are Ruth and Warren, we have 3 handsome young sons. Our homesteading journey started pre-kids with buying a small 32 acre farm with no house and some barns that needed serious work. We built our house in 6 months, and Roger was born 4 months later. Since then, we have never run out of homestead projects. We have done everything from an addition on the house, to raising farm animals, gardening, and rebuilding an entire line of hay equipment.
Our family goals are: a simple faith-based lifestyle, sustainable and healthy food, and the ability to enjoy our homestead projects. This journey has been so much fun for us, and we are excited to see where we head next. We hope you join us for the fun, and we also hope you learn helpful tips along the way.

How to Prevent My Well from Freezing | Heat Tape for Well Pump and Pressure Tank
In years past, we have had a lot of issues with our frost-free hydrants and waterers being un-usable during the coldest days of the year. Certain components in our dry well would freeze and trick the pressure tank into thinking there was enough pressure when there wasn't. So, this is what I came up with to fix it. So far, it has worked great (much better than sitting out there with a heat gun waiting for it to thaw).

Raking Hay with a Kubota Loader Tractor and a Kuhn Rotary Rake | Making Hay on the Homestead Farm
My loader pin just backed out and almost made me have a bad day. I will be doing this modification asap. Thanks for the idea!
Great resource! Bought a new seal, but I don’t think it’s saving much time. Looks like somebody stepped on it and smashed the clips in several places. Ugh!
Thank you for the video you saved me alot of head ache I'm putting my door on tomorrow
Goats and a pick!
Do the 3 bolts have any torque specification?
I’m a new member of the dumbass exploding the open glass door club!
Good video. I'm getting ready to install the same on my M7060. Looks like you needed a sharper drill bit.
That's the way it got done ✅
400 acres and flat rock so may be hard work !!!!
Thank you
I bought one of those as I was tired of the shovel. In Missouri clay this tool didn’t work for us. I hate thistles
I wonder if it’s the type of thistle you have in Missouri maybe? Our soil has some clay areas here too and it still seems to work. Although it definitely is harder in those areas to get deep enough.
What is the part number of the kit you installed and where did you get it from.
Excellent advice very concise.
Goats!
Goats are great for initial cleanup, but I’m not willing to share our good hay and grazing fields with them 😂.
Is there a New Idea Mower Part 2 video? I also own a New Idea 5😂209
I have M7060 2021, and it has the 9 pin harness, pluss a red fused wire. So, if I wire the harness red to red, that fused wire is still there. I'm not sure though If it could have neen something I added for a a back up cam that I took out because it stopped working. Walmart has a blue tooth phone ready for 24 bucks. I'm giving it a go. It's a Dual.
They should come from the factory like that.
I used to pick them off, Green.
Beautiful
How did this work out for you. Did it ever loose siphon ?
Thanks for the video, it’s a huge help. I’ve just pulled the front axle apart on my 986 to start going through it and one spindle spline is loose. It wasn’t too appealing to spend the money for a new spindle and arm so I’ll be trying the JB weld trick also. I’ll be putting up videos of my repair process also.
How did this buddy seat work out for you in the end. I am looking to purchase a 2021 Kubota 7060 but with a grandson on the way a buddy seat is a must. Just want to make sure before I pull the trigger it’s going to fit, look good and be stable.. if it will work what model seat did you use? Thank you
Just replace one skid steer hit replace door arm not to bad to replace but was warm here
Can these radios also go into cars?
Do you know if it fits a Kubota M5-091
So glad you made this video! Unfortunately I joined the "shatter the door club"! No doors in the USA so I'm cleaning up the gaskets while I wait. Hopefully before winter hits!
This is super helpful thank you! Do you think I should make them 36 inches or taller to deter deer too?
I was forced to pick them off by hand. Got 400+ last night. Lost track after we half filled the pesticide bottle. Sadly these stupid things develop an immunity to that stuff so we're trying a combination of brute force and organic bug repellant. Luckily I don't have to touch the big ones. I just scrape the leaves they're on against the side of the bottle we're putting them in and they fall right in.
I have tried this method . While my potatoes did survive, the amount of time I spent was prohibitive. Even if I value my time at only the minimum wage, the cost of my potatoes turned out around $100 per lb. Never doing it again. There’s got to be a better way.
The "Colorado" potato beetle we have them here aswell in germany When my grandparents still had their garden, we done the same collect and drown them in a bucket
Farming can be so much fun 😂
I liked your video I don't understand why It didn't get more views, when I did a search your video came up. Our broccoli was having issues and now I know what it is. thank you
Mother earth has an infestation of 'GROSS AND OBNOXIOUS" critters too.
Who makes this
www.quickshieldutv.com/shop/p/heat-shield-jnmn6-4arj9-x7jrh
This just happened to me yesterday. I'm about to go do this right now.
I am also working on my spindle on my 1066. It broke off next to the wheel hub. I acquired all the new parts except for the washer on top under the steering arm and the retaining clip. I was wondering if there was anything special about either of them? Mine no longer exist. Thanks for sharing!
I am working on my 886 and to remove the steering arm (which was very tight) I had to heat the arm and use an impact air hammer to drive the spindle out of the arm. Of course the reason it was so tight was due to years of rust build up within the splines. Now the fit-up has slop. They do sell an undersized spline steering arm but it may not be that bad for it to fit properly. JB weld should work fine like for this application as there is not mush force on those splines when the spindle nut is tight so I am considering using it.
You don't have to cement posts in the ground?
Not when they are this large and in the ground so deep! One of the perks of using the old telephone poles :).
That's a bummer. So was the seed pack of the calabrese variety.
This way is too much work to do . Take. a lot of time
Farming should be like that, our society is sick that we don’t have time to spend in nature anymore and we are only producing mechanically
Broke the door on my Massey the other day. Ordered a new one today. $800 the dealer recommended replacing the rubber door gasket.
ouch! I feel your pain everytime I have to give a repair bill to my wife :).
Not practical for acreage
I totally get that! We farm/homestead on over 100 acres, so we definitely don't have the time to be this detailed on all of it. Where this tool shines (for us at least) is under permanent fences that we can't get to on a regular basis with our bushhog.
Please don't do that to nature, dawn dish soap? You live on a farm feed them to your chickens.
I wish! I actually tried that and my chickens refused to eat them lol. They prefer soft critters like grubs.
Did you plant the bolted dollar tree broccoli before the other broccoli next to it? That’s makes no sense why it would be that much taller than the other stuff and that it would bolt and go to flower/seed which is caused by planting broccoli the wrong time of year and the last little bit of time growing it is too sunny causing it to bolt and go to seed production. Hopefully you were able to at least use the broccoli leaves for cooking! They taste so good especially in different pasta dishes, it reminds me of spinach and I like it in the “white” sauces for pasta. An AMAZING place to get ANY type of vegetable seeds is from MIGardener!!! The quality is top notch, the variety choice is absolutely excellent and no matter what you get it’s always flat out $2.00 a pack which if you compare that to other seed companies $2.00 is an absolutely amazing deal!!! He also has a really cool RUclips channel, that’s how I found out about him in the first place. Anyways thank you for your video.
Crazy thing is - they were both planted at the same time! That's why I know it was definitely caused by the seed. The rest of my broccoli was beautiful thankfully.
@@simplysustainablefamilyfarm Wow! Thank you for sharing your experience!!! Happy gardening
Have you had any issues with spacing them like this? I'm thinking about doing the same on M6040
No issues! I love the stability it offers. The only reason I could think of for not doing it would be if you had a really narrow storage space to drive it into.
Thank you! We just planted a dozen new fruit trees and I was appalled at the price of tree guards. We actually have a bunch of black pipe so I’m set!
Glad you found it helpful! don't forget to remove them in the spring!
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks 😁
Awesome me and cousin need to do this to his 1066 thank you
Happy to help! Let me know how it goes for you.
Yuk. Isn't there a better way? Your gonna be out there all day!
It is actually surprisingly quick when done regularly throughout the growing season!
Thanks for posting this video. I have same set up - less the mouse nest!
Haha, yes, the mouse nest added a little extra fun.
