Great video buddy! I experienced Joy and Happiness watching this video! Reminded me of my Grandparents doing the same thing with their mule and us kids picking up the Taters! Lol. Thanks for the good memories and God bless you and your family always my friend!
Hello my friend! Good to hear from you and thank you!! We had a great time working together. We do try and make work fun as often as we can. Thanks for the kind words brother and for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
That was one of our family's most fun projects Mama would get plum excited when the tators rolls out if it was as big as the end of your thumb it when across the table
Yessir I bet! It is exciting for sure and good eating! Thanks my friend and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
That is awesome! Yes, I love my background also and I am thankful to be from the country. I couldn’t think of any anywhere else I would rather be. Thank you so much for taking time to watch and comment! Take care my friend and do come again, please.
Haha, that’s awesome! Thanks for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please!
Zach,, you and Mr. Summers make a great team, along with the rest of your family working together. You are right about the potatoes tasting better from your own garden. Blessings.
You are blessed to have a friend like Mr. Summers. We can learn a lot from the older folks if we listen to them. I wished I had learned that sooner in life.
In about 1958 dad bought a lister/ planter a 4 row. We planter Milo and soybean. The bottoms through dirt both ways. First time cultivating we pulled away the plant. Second time we put the dirt to the plant. At that dad pulled a 3 - 14 mole board plow. The tractor was a G John Deere.
That’s cool 😎 yes, I’ve saw those before myself. I always loved that old type farm equipment and especially the G’s. Maybe one day I’ll have one. Anyway, thank you for sharing with me and taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Now that's living... I remember Pop plowing with 2 mules ......saying "Hoe....G " and a list of other commands I can't remember.seems like them mules knew what he was thinking at times
Awesome! Glad ya enjoyed it and yes, I believe too that at times they can read our minds no doubt. Thanks for the kind words and thx for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again.
Yes, sir, I am always glad to have him on our channel also! Thank you so much for the kind words and it is good to hear from you! Thank you for taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care and do come again please
Wonderful team. Nice and slow walking which makes life easier with your potato plow. You guys made it look so easy to get the right depth to turn and not slice the potatoes . Lovely looking ground too. My team isn’t that well broke so I use a Pioneer Homesteader with the potato plow attachment. It’s a riding implement so I can use both hands to drive and it is steered with the feet. It can be a bit tricky to get the depth and angle set perfectly. I like the leveling board attached to the disk. That works great with the small disk. I might try the disking immediately after harvesting this year. Good idea. Great video.
Dear Zach Thank you for taking me along to see everything, it looks real beautiful there and i am hoping to have a real good potato salad very soon God bless you all there Take care my friend
Thank you my friend! I am glad you enjoyed it and I’m always happy to take you along. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
I saw you on a Rural Heritage video yesterday. I have a question for you about maple trees; Are there different types that look basically the same, but the wood is different? I cut a limb off my maple tree a few years back, I was amazed at how heavy a piece about 4-5" diameter and roughly 5' was. A couple weeks ago, we had storms and high winds that brought down some limbs from a maple tree next door to my mom. When I was cutting it up and putting it out by the street for the town to pick up, I picked up a piece that was considerably bigger and it seemed quite a bit lighter. I was surprised. I don't know much about trees, so I thought I would ask you about it. Another interesting video, thank you. Have a great day.
Hey Mr Jones. So yessir, there are hard maples and soft maples. Some will hold more water than others and will heavier/lighter depending on if it’s dried and whatnot. The maple lumber is sorta hard to tell apart, and I admit..I’m not the best at it. But yessir, there are several trees in the maple family. Just like there are several trees in the hickory tree family. Bunch in the oaks as well. Thank you for the kind words my friend and thx for watching and commenting! Take care and do come again, please
You are making me homesick for days almost fifty years ago with our beloved neighbors who taught us how to farm. 😭 Those are some really long rows. Mr. Summers will not be hungry this winter.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and got some memories from it. We will all eat well for sure. Thank you ma’am for the kind words and also thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please
This was such a nice video Zach. Beautiful team of mules. I was watching when you were first trying to plow. You tried to get them to shift to the left a little. And just as you said. After two or three steps pearl shifted back to the right. She went right back down in the furrow where she was used to going. Had to laugh a little at the mules wanting to eat corn instead of plowing. I do have a question. If you didn't tie the mules off at the tree. Would they still have stood there at the tree waiting for your next command? Or would they eventually walk off back to the barn? Those were some beautiful looking potatoes. It sure sounded peaceful there. Again, thank you for sharing such a pleasant video. Take care wishing you and the Summers the very best.
In answer to your question about tying them..yes they would’ve stood there just fine. I’ve had to leave mine and walk away from them quite a bit in the woods and they’ll stand for you really good once they’ve worked enough. Mr summers mules are no different. And yes you’re right on Pearl wanting back in the furrow. She’s just doing what she knows! Which is great. I don’t fuss much when it’s like that. Anyway, thank you so much for the kind words and also taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it and I hope I answered your questions. Take care and do come again, please
Yes a good video on farming I always enjoy watching videos on gardening I enjoy watching you with Mr Summers mules I guess I let you go I know you are busy man got a lot to do so be careful be safe and God bless your friend Billy
Brings back a lot of memories, only not with mules, dad had an old farmall super C that worked very well for light farm work, taters don't taste like they did back then, God Bless y'all
That’s awesome! I love the old ways of doing things. Even with the old tractors and such. Thanks for sharing!! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
I love how these mules follow their owner, showing the close relationship they have with each other. And that allows Mr. Summers to sling the knotted lines around his middle, something that otherwise would not be advisable in case the team would take off. The safe way is to put the lines over the shoulder with one arm out so that one could duck out quickly if necessary.
Yessir could be. I’ve done it both ways. I use both methods at different times for different reasons. Anyway, thank you sir for the kind words and thanks for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again, please!
It's a shame y'all live on flat land. Here in the mountains you plant them taters up an down and when it comes time to dig them you just dig the hill at the bottom and hold your sack and the taters just pour out ! Lol
Nice looking Tators brother!! Blessings to you and your family and Mr. Summers!!!!
