Canadians do have it figured out, it's called a block heater or keep in the garage in cold weather. You need an equipment barn to keep things out of the elements.
I'm surprised an equipment shed wasn't already a build.😛
LOL Al thinks he is smart but watch him destroy that nice mower running it over frozen tundra.
he had a block heater on to eventually start. May be this is why Trump wants Canada lol.
@@jimputnam2044 Some company will most likely provide a new one for free, being a RUclipsr. 🙄
Totally agree he needs a equipment barn, but al is very stubborn. I like watching him wrecking his equipment it’s fun. While utube is paying for all his equipment why should he change.
Your next project should be an equipment shed for all your tractors they will last alot longer
That's what I said too! Lol
I think I posted the same thing a while back. He has way too much invested in equipment to leave it out in the weather. Even a lean-to would help. Building one down the side of the workshop might be enough and he could build it in such a way that it can be enclosed at a later date.
Also a hay barn lean-to..to protect the hay rounds..
Exactly right!!! I live in Texas and still keep my equipment covered. I can't afford to let my equipment age out in harsh weather like they have there or here for that matter.
Hallelujah! Been saying this for a LONG time. Block heaters - we don't have those personally, but what a great idea.
Hello from Canada. Any equipment left outside not plugged in (block heater) is not expected to start. Oil is thick like grease in the cold, issue is not battery it's how you store your equipment.
Full synthetic oil helps too!
Yep, us Canadian know when it's that cold to plug in the block heater the night before 😁
I would think if you’re gonna use it the next morning it would make common we sense to plug it in.
I live in South Carolina and wouldn’t attempt to go outside at that temperature. But I keep my mechanical babies in the garage just in case I need them.
I live in The Great Lakes State of Michigan. I live 43 miles in one direction of Canada. And Lake Huron is the closest Great Lake to me. And here in Michigan we have the same Weather as Canada. So, I agree with all my Canadian Naighbors here & their comments. I love your you tube channel here Lumnah Acres . I am worried that you are mowing down your grass here with snow & ice. I never ever heard anybody ever do that before. . This is the first time I have heard this, actually. But, Who am I to know ? My late father grew up on a dairy farm & they planted many crops & harvested them too.
Al, snow doesn't cause the ground to freeze. It PREVENTS the ground from freezing. Snow is an insulator. If you get several weeks of below zero waether, the ground will freeze, but it isn't because of the snow.
Agreed
Oohh I haven’t gotten to that “logic” part yet! I needed a good laugh this morning!
Living in Texas I obviously do not have to worry about snowfall, but I have never seen anyone mowing in the snow, let alone getting so much joy out of it.
moi je n'ai jamais vu mettre une porte de garage dans la cuisine d'une maison.
Yeah, I agree
I'm from Colorado, and I never saw anyone mow in the winter either, still can't figure out why he is🙆♂️
I was wondering why too . Is it a field of weeds any crop would likely kill the roots
Seems a little odd.
I LOVE YOU ALL !!! 😘😘😘
I never imagined a world where I would hear the words: It is -9 this morning, perfect time to go mowing. hahahaha
Good morning Lumnah!
You do not mow when you have that much snow on the ground. You are done that job until the snow melts next spring.
I second the equipment shed idea. Great video. I grew up with snow in Ohio, don't miss it.
When I lived in Alaska, we kept the block heaters plugged in at 10f for diesel and 0 for gas engines. They should be plugged in over night. I would also do a hydraulic warm up prior to doing any work.
Agreed, I too lived in Alaska, and block heaters and all.
I suggest you leave a quart of oil that you use in your equipment out in the cold overnight in a glass jar. Tip it over after it’s been chilled to see how congealed it is. That will show you the viscosity of the oil the pumps have to distribute to the wear points of those expensive components. Winter fuel and oil (hydraulic and engine) and block/transmission heaters are cheap alternatives to expensive repairs. There are excellent videos on line explaining the reason for heating up the fluids.
Back when I did fleet work I had 10 oil delivery trucks (each with a 1,000 watt heater) and the boss was always crying about the electric bill to run them the better part of 16 hours each night. I got together with a local electrician and devised a system with a timer to bring them on-line at 4 am for a preheat of 3-4 hours. Something like this could help quite a bit with the limited solar power issue.
Still don’t know why a garage isn’t a priority… if you had an emergency you could be stranded. The cold is hard on batteries and engines, you are just doing damage. For now why not park your truck, Side-by-side and tractor in the shed at night and just move them out if you need to work in there. I don’t get it guys.
Don’t blame the vehicles, its user error.
Yeah, he's stated in the past he doesn't believe that equipment needs to be inside a building or protected. I don't know of any farmer here in MN with the same attitude. He also needs to get those hay bails covered!
Sounds like the farmers I remember while living in a small town, on this comment session. They all met early to have coffee and discuss all the solutions to local and world problems. These old grouchy farmers always had a firm opinion about what someone was doing wrong. And, people say women gossip and have hen parties. LMBO.
When they first built the sheds, and then the lean-to I thought that was what they were for. Also, building an indoor pig place. My father kept his pigs indoors in the pig barn. I kept mine outside, year round. Some would sleep next to, but NOT in the ark. Shake the snow of themselves, the great pile of a dozen or so pigs and come for early morning grub. My pigs were ALWAYS amenable, well-behaved(within reason - they are after all pigs.) BUT their innate behaviour was satisfied. Me dads pigs you didn't approach most of them without a shovel and most had rings in their noses. They were allowed NO innate behaviour and it showed in their natures and interactions with us. Put the equipment in that lean-to, keeps the pigs outside.
Because some people don't have a clue about farming just think they are experts at what they do called hobby farmers
@@coolwheelz5190 Exposure to ultraviolet light is hard on all parts of any exposed vehicle including tires which do not come cheap. Mowing snow is something that Americans probably believe that us Canadians do. Nope, your education system failed you again.
Thats what block heaters are for, plugged in before the extreme cold, not afterwards. Oil viscosity is like grease in those extremes, no bueno..😂😅 Waiting for the trax to come out on the CanAm..😊 Love ya'll ❤️
We DO have it figured out...that's why we use block heaters! A block heater keeps the oil warm, which warms the engine enough to start! You should invest in a few
The batteries are made in United States, Japan, and the United Kingdom! 🤣🤣
Canada here ❤ Canadians that live where it is cold use block heaters 🥰
Even on your toys
@@LumnahAcreson anything you want to start, yes.
Happy new year to you and your viewers. 38c in Perth Western Australia today
@@79PoisonBreaker It's so cold here, that I have to use a block heater on my electric razor🤣 Happy New Year Poison!👍🏻
@LumnahAcres my Expedition snowmobile has a block heater. Was a add on option
Your Canadian commenter is spot on! Just because Canada is north of you doesn’t mean it’s products like tractors and outdoor equipment is invincible! You should store your equipment indoors and also put anti gel into your diesel powered equipment fuel tanks! Gasoline antifreeze is and excellent idea for your gas powered equipment! Condensation accumulates in the fuel tank which gets into the fuel lines and carburetor freezes and voila your equipment will not start! That’s how we Canadians deal with cold winters!
Hi Al, Gina, Olivia & Brutus, HAPPY NEW YEAR !
Al, I have watched you and your family build your old homestead and now this new property, for at least 5 years.
I think you have done an amazing job building a homestead from scratch and enjoy watching your videos very much !
I do agree with a lot of comments, about protecting your equipment from extreme weather.
I think it would be easier on you, for preventive maintenance & daily use during winter, Take Care
My sister-in-law lived-in Park City years ago and had cold start issues. I told her a hack from an old Alaskan trucker. Turn on all the lights on the vehicle and leave on for 15 minutes. This allows the battery to warm up providing warm cranking amps. Her neighbors asked her about how come she could always start her car on the frigid mornings. Soon the whole parking lot would be aglow .
Are you for real mowing in the snow, quickest way to ruin equipment, you need to store the vehicles you use for feeding animals stored inside so they are easier to start
I'm not a farmer and I don't live in cold country so I'm the first to recognise my limitations, but I can't understand this need to mow. It would be one thing if the ground was predictable and flat, but mowing in a field where there are big rocks and bogs hidden under the snow seems really careless. I've also commented on the need for an equipment shed too, but it is apparently on the list but not a priority. The only reason Australian farmers (the problem here is the heat, not the snow and cold) leave equipment in the elements is when they come to the end of their working life.
When you started videoing the cows in the woods all I could think of was what a pretty still picture that would be!
The snow is beautiful but I’m really glad we don’t have to deal with those temps and snow to often!
Happy New Year!
Hi: Al, I'm a Canadian living in the Great White North. Many of us use synthetic oil normally 5W -20 or 30 for all equipment being used during our cold Canadian winters. Standard oils become very thick in cold winter, while synthetic cold weather oil flows more quickly. It also greatly reduces engine start up ware in cold weather. Try this in your Can-AM and you will see a big difference. I sincerely hope this info helps. Yes, the oil cost a little more but it's well worth it. As a long time subscriber and watcher. I'm sending you and yours the very best in the new year, Cheers Mate.👍😊
I still say you need an equipment shed to keep things out of the elements
Al and Gina another excellent video,mowing,snow removal and snow throwing also Brutus 😮😊❤
It is such an inspiration and a joy to watch all you do I look forward to Tuesday Thursday and Saturday thank you
I'm curious - what are the benefits of mowing in the winter? I've never bothered, even in the fall, figuring in winter all the remaining vegetative matter (grass, weeds, ... not shrubs of course) dies off and becomes fertilizer as growth starts afresh from the roots in the spring. So the only winter mowing benefit I see is speeding up mulching and decomposition of last year's growth. What am I missing? I'm just a landowner, not a farmer. Happy to learn something to improve my meadows if this helps...
And Happy New Year to all!
There are literally zero benefits and it is potentially harmful to grass.
Help me understand this build all these buildings and the equipment the lifeblood to a homestead always sets outside in the weather.
Happy New Year. Never more evident I'm not cut out for northern life when watching you even thinking about mowing the pasture in sub zero temps.
Happy New Year, Allie, Gina, Olivia, Brutus, and all the animals . Happy New Year to all my fellow fans of the Channel !! 🥂
Happy New Year to you!
Here in SC our cold weather is coming next week with lows in the 20s.....I don't like that but will have to endure it...I can't even imagine what -9 feels like.....40s is beyond what I can tolerate....stay warm
May the lord bless and protect you and Gina and the family. Happy New Year to your family
Here in the UK we dont get the extremes of temperatures you guys get but common sence would tell you to put a block heater on at that temperature, stop the snow mowing as well if the neighbours see you they will think yove been on the moonshine, happy new year to the pair of you have a happy and healthy one 👍
Wow! I could not deal with all that snow. We have a saying “we want to go to snow, we don’t want it to come to us!” We had a snowmageddon in 2019 where we had 3’ of snow and lost power for 9 days. You learn A LOT about taking care of a homestead and family in the situation (one I don’t want to repeat but think I’d be better prepared for it now). You guys are amazing! Happy New Year 🎉
Happy New Year Al, Gina and Olivia🎉 We may not tune in most days at 6 because we are already at work by then but we do catch you every post after work. We just bought property and will be starting our own homestead soon. You guys and others have certainly inspired us to start this journey. God Bless!
Happy New Year to Al and Gina and family. We’re on here celebrating our 41st Anniversary and enjoying your video. Great video. Take care and have a good one! 🎄👍❤️
You are definitely a New Hampshire family! Kudos for Gina being able to brave the cold in order to film and to Al for doing all that work! Al, you and Brutus are definitely in your element, aren't you?
I ❤ watching you plow and snowblow. It makes me happy😅 Have a peaceful and blessed new year!
Canadian here, we use 0/20 oil in our gas engines and 0/40 in diesel engine. If I had a heated shop all my vehicles would be in it.
When you were plowing snow down through the narrow lane at the old place, and in the open area by the barn is how I first found you probably 10 years ago! You have come a long way! A few more gray hairs, but you are keeping Gina young it seems!
Some farmers need to do the right thing by their machinery and stop abusing them, I get it, its a easy come easy go mentality, but you should put them away out of the weather, if you had to really live off the farm you would have been broke a long time ago Al, your machinery and you will do whatever you want, because thats what you do, but a lot of real rural people are watching.
Your property is such a dream. You could go through the video and screenshot or stop the video and take pictures from the video for portraits on your wall or to sell… So beautiful there are so many photography dream pictures in this video.
Great video it's Dec 31 here we had mild weather and rain for a day so my yard is all green again. God Bless from your Canadian Friend.
I commented the other day. If it were me and had all that money invested in that equipment it would absolutely be inside year round.
Al you need to put a Equipment building on your list of builds to keep your tractors and Equipment out of the weather, they will last a lot longer if not setting out in the sun and elements
Happy New Year Lumnah family. Hope all your animals enjoy their winter weather. All that snow looks beautiful, but I wouldn't want to leave GA to live in it for the whole winter. Stay warm y'all!
Hi Al. Snow is an insulator. It actually keeps the house warmer with less expended energy.... ( Read that as we piled snow up against sides of house up to window frame. It cut our heating bill in those months by quite a bit. Yes. The sump pump had to work harder in mud season as it all melted... But fewer oil fills is great at prices in winter.- yes, im speaking of living in Maine)
So I don't think frozen snow is an indicator of ground freeze. Besides igloos are frozen on the outside but the inside stays quite a bit warmer.
Hope you get done all you want to with minimal equipment damage.
EDIT: I'm guessing you'll be pulling out the roof rake after this next snow ❄️ if you get as much as they're calling for there. I remember having to make sure it was done after every snow 🌨️ to make sure the load on the roof was eased. Many DON'T understand how HEAVY snow really is. Especially lake effect snow ❄️🌨️🌨️.
Always good to see the goats, thought for a while they might not be on the homestead any longer. Happy New Year and stay warm.
HOPE! HAPPY TO SEE HER!
When starting diesel in the cold recycle your glow plugs 3-4 times before attempting a start.
Greetings from Germany... Just want to wish the Lumnah Acres family a 'Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year' take Care and see ya next year... 🙂
Good morning and Happy New Year!! For December, I did a Lumnah marathon. I watched all episodes!!! Starting from vlog 1 to today. I was emotionally invested with the homestead, animals, Gina’s health, the fur babies, and watching Olivia grow! I love your vlogs!!! Thank you!!!!
Gooooooood Morning Mary. That’s a lot of videos! Thank you. How long did it take. Happy New Year 🎆
Wow, that's quite a commitment! We accept you, one of us! 😉
@@LumnahAcresThe entire month of December! I was on vacation for the last 2 weeks… finally completed last night!❤ . I watched 9 hours straight for 2 weeks!!!
Mary. Welcome.❤❤❤ I love watching also.
Been here for yrs 2016
@ Thank you! Actually, it’s Mayra🥰 That’s awesome! Very nice family!!!!
Good evening Lumnah family from a nearly freezing tempratures Minnesota. I spent the day with my two boys until they were going to their respective New Year's Eve parties so now I'm home at my apartment. It's quiet but I'm watching your video right now. I have a hot spot I got to check-out from our local library so for the first time I have internet at my apartment. I'm going to watch the ball drop later. I'm going to buy my son a better battery for his new car in a few days. It needs more cold cranking amps. The mowing can wait Al! Good idea to grab a hay bale while you were down there. So you did some mowing anyway. Pretty pictures of the snow being plowed by the Tundra. Brutus looks happy in the snow. Yay, Hope and Daisy at 22:06! The pictures of the cows in the woods are so great! Thanks for this video Lumnah family! Have a very wonderful New Year's Eve and New Years Day!
Good morning Al and Gina. Happy New Year! I saw a snow plow hack that works really well when plowing over gravel.
Take a 3" piece of PVC the length of your blade and cut a slit the thickness of your blade, attach the PVC to the bottom of the blade. It will keep you from digging into the gravel. It really works well 😊
That's a great idea. I hope Al adopts this. Have a great New Year!
So you effectively polish the snow and ice on your driveway because the blade can't get to the gravel?
believe me in Canada most vehicles will run in the cold but in parts of western Canada they have plugs in the parking areas to plug into the cars to keep them warm enough lol hugsssss
Hi from Ontario Canada we plug our vehicles in the winter
Ya, I live in Canada and it doesn't get that cold here. This winter so far we've barely gone below zero and right now we have no snow as it's been raining a lot. You are supposed to keep your block heater plugged in overnight so your vehicles will start in the morning and not freeze and crack. Enjoy your subzero temps, Brrrrrrrrr!
Recommend an equipment shed. Doesn’t have to be fancy, but overhead cover really helps protect equipment from the elements. Always enjoy your videos. Wishing you and yours only the best for 2025. Tks for sharing.
Should also have a garage structure by the harvest house the live in. The car, pickup and can-am should all be parked out of the weather as well. One of the reasons why we have them in the Northern US. Keep out of all that heavy snow and ice and cold winds. Below freezing temps are not kind to newer "plastic body" vehicles. Easy to crack. Plus UVA and UVB exposure isn't actually helping much either. Why Southern folks have carports. Keep stuff out of the weather and sunlight as well.
Love seeing the cattle and snow scenes
I use 0-40 diesel motor oil for winter running, living in northern BC Canada.
Brutus enjoying the conditions he is bred to cope with. So many buildings, sheds, storage areas for animal food, compost, wood to burn etc requiring a massive amount of equipment that can deal with the seriously severe conditions. All that plus mechanical skills, construction knowledge and skills and in last decade increased reliance on technology. Amazing life style and definitely not easy. Plenty of heart break too first the ducks disappearing, having to sell off so many of your goat flock and loss of figaro all felt so hard then loss of your compressor lol.
From warm Texas, thanks for sharing your frozen existence experience. Stay warm and safe along with some great food from Gina's kitchen and your special coffees. Prayers are up for you and the animals. See you in a couple of days for another video.☝🙏🙌 Blessings in His Name 👋
Happy New Year. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
that's funny your jump box battery was down from the cold too. battery chemistry gets mighty sluggish when cold, same as on a solar setup. you might keep the jump box in a heated area during the winter so it can come flying to the rescue still warm and do its best:) makes a _huge_ difference. poor thing
Happy New Year to Al and the family and all of the animals ! Brutus and the Cats also !
Good morning everyone from Southern Arizona. Wishing everyone a happy new year and a prosperous coming year.
Happy New Year. That snow blower is awesome!!!!
Should have a Hitchin rail set up that you can plug all your equipment into. Have it on a timer so you only have it on for a couple of hours in the AM.
Hello Al, I saw on another channel a guy who has a stone driveway to plow. He put schedule 80 pipe as his plow edge and solved the issue of scrapping up all the rocks while plowing. Just thought it might help you. John Newton Maine.
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres and friends! Wishing you all a happy, and blessed New Year!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
I see all that snow and cold temps, and I'm glad I'm in Tucson, AZ. If it gets in 40's or 50's, I'm under an electric blanket! Been in 70's+ here during day. Oh well, Happy New Year.
Hi Al. I've never seen anyone cut grass in the winter.. you're a little crazy.. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family. Love from Sweden.
On the back of the the TYM tractor with the red fender, snow and the orange triangle Safety Sign , it looked like Santa was along for the ride ! LOL 😂🤣
Cute. Thanks for the imagery! It does look like Santa! Have a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year , I was happy to see the goats are still with you .
I loved the scenes of your property set to the beautiful music. Very serene and relaxing. I'd rather see more of that than the mowing and plowing. Thanks again for your great videos!
Beats me mate. You have a pretty nice workshop, why don't you put the TYM x 2 in at night? Crack your block and your in a world of pain . Happy New Year to all.
He's got the Excavator in the shop and there's not room in the barn but he does need to plug 🔌 the tractors 🚜 and canam into a Oil Engine Block Warmers no doubt. He has plans of building a equipment shed next after the barn is completed. I told him best to put electrical outlets in the new equipment shed so he can plug 🔌 in block warmers and battery 🔋 tenders plugged 🔌 in to keep the batteries charged ! Those sub zero fahrenheit temps are rough on engine block's because when It gets that cold oil can freeze solid. They should have their personal vehicle blocks & battery tenders also plugged in. But a equipment shed is coming next.
@@CC-Rider4564 Glad to hear that. It was just the mechanical side of me and my love of machinery that prompted the post. Not my intention to offend anyone. Happy New Year to you Sir.
Plug them in if you live in the cold. Side by side and tractors need block heaters.
Canadian here too .agree with what was said here about block heaters .lol Morning to Al,Gina and family. hope your Christmas was great and Happy New Years.
Hi Al and Gina this is the reason that you should train Gina on the heavy equipment in case that you get stuck she can come and help recover you and what
ever vehicle is stuck, pulse she will give you another pair of hands. Hope all three of you hand a merry Christmas and a happy New year.🙂🏴❤️🥳
You got a big place now What ever happened to the other place have you still got it? Love you all over there happy new your god bless you and all your family. From here in the uk.
Try some black pvc pipe on the bottom of the plow blade to help from picking up the rocks .
It's gets up to -40 wind chill, and even -25 Actual lots here in Eastern, NE. Blessings and Happy New Year!
My Canam defender starts reliably in - 30 weather here in Canada. You’re not running the correct oil in it check the manual
Al, I can see one of your future projects is to install under ground electrical wiring and weather-proof outlets to the tractor parking area to plug in the block heaters each night.
We do have cold weather start solved. When we know it's going to be cold we plug in our vehicles (block heater or battery blanket. We do leave things out in the weather!
Good morning Lumnah family ☕️
Have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year
Gooooooood Morning Joe. Happy new year
Good morning, Joseph!
Gotta agree with the Canadians. I’m from Texas and even I know about block heaters. Of course it helps if you can put your vehicles inside where you can maintain a temperature at least 30 F above ambient and block the majority of the wind heat loss.
Your land is absolutely beautiful! Those trees and mountains in the distance, gorgeous!! Do you normally mow in the snow? Never heard of that!
Gooooooood Morning sherry. Thanks. No it’s the first time for me. I never got a chance to get it mowed before winter
In Canada we have these things called block heaters so we plug our cars in when it is that cold out..
I think Al just loves driving especially in snow. Just like a kid at Christmas.
We lived in Duluth MN in the mid 1970s where it was extremely cold for long periods of time. 30 days below zero was common. We had no garage. To reliably start our 1960 Pontiac with its large gasoline engine we had an engine coolant heater, an oil dipstick heater and a battery charger. - all going each night We could start at early morning temps of -35 F. My recommendation is for you to keep a battery charger feeding the battery to first of all keep it fully charged as well as to keep it warmer than the ambient air temp. A warm battery can deliver something like 60% more energy to a cold starting engine than a cold battery can supply. Best wishes for 2025, Dale
I hope maybe an equipment barn will be built next spring for your tractors etc. to parked in when not in use. Something along the lines of the pole barn you built at your last house. With solar panels to provide electric to power the block heaters....Yep, we know how to spend your money. hahaha. Have a Happy New Year Lumnah Family and all the viewers out there. Have a Blessed day.
9 degrees Below 0 ! 😱😲 You couldn't get me out of bed if it was that dsmn COLD !!

Oil pan heater 20 minutes before starting the ATV, block heater about an hour on the tractor even I know living in north eastern Illinois to plug them in before trying to crank them. They make 12 volt battery heater's also it would be a good thing to have. or park them in the barn overnight with the pellet heater going.

I agree you plug inblock heater night before. O store inside
Canadians "plug in" their car engines during the winter by using a "block heater" which is essentially an electric heating element installed in the engine block, allowing them to warm up the engine coolant and oil before starting the car in extremely cold temperatures, typically when the temperature drops below -15°C; this ensures easier starting and reduces wear on the engine.
Hey Al, engine block heaters and battery blankets can really help on those cold starts.
You need an equipmet shed I think. Happy New Year.
That looks so good when mowed. But yeah the cold no thank you
So enjoyed seeing the pigs and especially Hope!
