True farmers do a little bit of everything, usually because the have to. Could you imagine the cost of subbing all those little fixes out. My favorite part of most all of your videos is your get it done mentality with a positive attitude. I know I get a little grumpy when things around my home break and to save money I will be fixing them. If I adopt your attitude, things might be a little less stressful around here. Thank you Pete for the lesson!
I was thinking about you and your content....and thinking about you teaching. Then I saw Bill Roberts comment. I'm not the only one that sees and hears it. 👍🙋 Everyone have a great day!
Hey Pete! The number 1 rule for wheel bearing work is: "Don't lick your fingers". I'm guessing that, in a pinch, that could apply to castration as well. 😁 Thanks for taking us along today!
Pete, this was the second time I’ve watch this video… Not realizing I already watched it but I enjoyed it just as much the second time as I did the first time. It has to be so rewarding to you to be able to take things apart and fix the broken part or replace the broken part and then put things back together and have them be as new or better than new. You make it look so simple that any of us could watch you and then fix our own things…!!!! I love how you always explain what you’re doing, you have a great photography so we get up close and personal with whatever you’re working on and you demonstrate why are you doing what you’re doing and also steps all the way through until it’s finally done. You just impressed me so much with all your knowledge about farm equipment as well as the livestock. I have a brother I wish I could meet you… He loves international formal just like you do. Tell your dad he did an awesome job on the hayrack. It’ll be exciting to see it painted… I’m certain you’re going to paint it RED~ what else is there 😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
My rule anymore is if you think it’s going to be a fast job it’s gonna turn out to be a day job. The other rule I now have is don’t make a long list because you won’t get it done in a day and then I’ll be frustrated with myself for not getting more done. Pete, I really enjoy watching you fix things because you make it enjoyable and you have a good photography is it let’s just see exactly what you’re doing😊❣️❣️ Also, you give great explanation to what you’re doing and that really makes me happy when I watch your videos especially when I’m trying to learn more about the farm equipment. My dad did not let the girls be on or around the farm equipment as he wanted us to be ladies and while we could assist with bailing hay and different things out in the fields at harvest time, We were not at all allowed near machine read it could put our hands or our life!!That frustrated one of my sisters but I found it very loving and endearing! Course I never want to drive a tractor so I didn’t matter to me. I just liked riding on the tractor with Dad♥️♥️ I didn’t like the Tease at the end Pete as to which color would you be painting the hayrack🤣😂❣️❣️ I think since most of your tractors are rid of think you should go with red. I really love the collection of tractors you have. That’s my vote but we’ll see what you do. And besides I think John Deere gets way too much credit when there’s better or equal equipment out there in the fields. I recently went to a huge farm show in Dyersville, IOWA (“Field of Dreams”- Kevin Costner) And while there’s plenty of Farm toys to buy, definitely good food, and lots of farm people to talk to you there is also many opportunities to be educated about different farm equipment from all over the world. I got a very big education this last time I was there, mainly because I was there as an adult not worrying about children… I’ve been there three other times before with children and grandchildren but this time I went was an adult friend who is very interested in Farm equipment and was very patient as well.! We took our time and I was amazed beyond words at the changing in farm equipment, especially in the last 5 to 10 years. My father has been gone 20 years and he would be in shock exchanges from tractors to Haybale or‘s to every piece of equipment in the field. It’s not just about air conditioning being available on the radio and phone communication it is about the technology that has been study age to make the best use of your farm equipment out in the field. I had no idea that Canada and the rest of the world was competing for our farm machinery here in the US. I saw the biggest planter they’re on a video as well as the most wheels on a tractor ever before. They have videos that you can watch they have all this equipment that is for sale out on display and representatives from the company to talk with us. If you get a chance to go to Dyersville, Iowa Farm show, they have it TWICE A YEAR…. Just go online and check it out because it is something you do not want to mess. I am sure you can also buy stuff online anytime you want especially if you’re a collector of new and old farm toys as well restoration toy farm equipment /pieces & parts… they definitely have it all… For a price😃❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ very impressive place to go and many many vendors. It’s a three day event plus by the way if you’re interested in seeing the reenactment of field of dreams they have that every year and Kevin Costner comes himself every so many years and I do believe he was just here in the last year or two. So don’t expect him this year unless it’s a big anniversary ❣️
My old boss you to say something similar. I think everyone chokes up on the hammer at least at times especially those who don't use them daily. That being said ten-ish or so years ago when I was framing two or three days a week for an independent contractor I learned to let the hammer do the work and got a medium weight "California framer" (the style of handle) hammer and grabbed it down low as it put less fatigue on my left elbow since I am a lefty. But when I'm in the garage doing my car projects or using a finishing hammer I find I have more control when my hand is closer to the Head. When you're framing you're nailing in three and a quarter inch long "16 penny" nails that are vinyl coated so you're just kind of forcing them in there really isn't any kind of finesse other than not bending them over or nailing them in crooked so they blow out the side.
You are always so calm. I've never heard you raise your voice or show a mean streak. Even when you couldn't get the rake taken apart you didn't get upset. My dad has the same ability. I wish I was more like that.
Another great video by "Pete the Teacher". Your explanations of the things you do make your videos very interesting. Your father sure made a great bale trailer that should be painted IH red to go with your tractors.
As someone who has seen a very gentle cow break a horn I wholeheartedly agree with early dehorning. My neighbor and bestie's family had a lovely little Jersey cow for milk. That cow was a real sweetie. Some how she got her horn twisted in a piece of wire and concrete. She fought hard enough to break the horn but not get loose. We kids heard her bellowing as we got off the school bus. To heck with messing up school clothes---we ran to find out what the problem was. There was blood all over everything. My friends older brother sprinted to the house and called the vet who said to pack bread flour onto the horn stub to slow the blood. We, eight various aged kids worked to carry the cow to the barn while older brother kept pressure on the horn. I know the cow lived but I had to go home and get my bloody dress off so I don'r recall what the vet did. The cow had only 1 horn thereafter and was lucky we all got home when we did and worked together to save her.
Good morning Pete! I love all the mechanical know how in this video, the part of being a farmer that most people may not realize that needs to be done.
Best part of the video was checking the bearing on the other wheel. Common sense at work. Such a rare commodity these days. Always a smile. Thanks Pete.
I do love the way you handle things that pop up. So laid back and calm. Farming is a challenge and yet it's all worth it in the long run if one deals with it in a rational manner. You have a wonderful ❤️ and I appreciate you and Hillary taking the time to share and talk with us.
Pete, you are a raconteur and I love your story telling. My observation about you is that of being a Kind Man. In the summers of my youth many summers I visited my Uncle John. A. a farmer here in Florida. He was a storyteller as well. I saw him butcher cows and he had around 200 head of hog at his max heard. A friend connected him to seal test dairy and he got a refrigerated truck of ice cream that was out of date. He stuffed the home freezer with gallons of these half gallon rectangles and the rest went into the hog feed. Grocery stores gave him outdated veggies and other foods. He gave about 10 percent of his corn and other crops to the church to give out to people in need. Every Sunday he was in church and taught Sunday School into his 80's. He grew peanuts too; us kids would boil them in Maxwell House coffee cans outside. Boiled peanuts are a southern treat. Cows would come from across the field for those peanut plants. My question to you is about your contact with snakes? What kind of snakes do you deal with especially around your chickens? Note: That ice cream was out of date but not inedible. In my visits at night, we would grab our own half gallon of whatever flavor we wanted and watched tv. After a day in the fields, I have since never seen a bathtub get so dirty. Well, keep the videos coming and Thank You for sharing.
I like watching you make repairs to your farm equipment, something I have not observed too much in my lifetime. I am, once again, impressed with the variety of work & repair it takes to run a farm. Even though I grew up in rural Ohio farmland, my family did not farm. I also love your cattle! They are always 'talking' to you! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see you wearing that UT shirt my dad works there 4 days a week and then on the evenings and fridays and weekends we are out taking care of our beef herd
Ah, Pete, great Video! So glad you got the calf taken care of...He won't remember the doctors visit in your barn today!!! Golly, You really attacked that piece of machinery with gusto. Great job! Now...........red or JOhn Deere green.....THAT, is the question. Can't wait to see the hay wagon tomorrow!! Have a great evening and night, hope you aren't too lame tomorrow! Bev in Maine
New calves are beautiful! I remember replacing a lot bearings in my younger days. Worst ones were the sealed bearings on a White 13 foot fold up disk. It had about 2 inch hex nuts. No impact wrench. Just a heavy socket and breaker bar and about 4 feet of pipe. Lot of work, but it felt good to get it done.
Thanks for sharing! Maybe when you paint the hay wagon you can give the rake a face lift too! If you go red, they'll match 😆. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video!
I would go with the red that matches the tractors. Matching green with red is ok but not my choice. Hay bail hauler turned out great. Thanks 🙏 for today’s video. I always like when you repair stuff. You bring us along and truly appreciate. Thanks 🙏 Pete for this video and have a great day.
When my late father would do a job he would say, "It will.. outlast me." And if usually did. He had the greatest collection of nuts, bolts and washers, I know, because I inherited them.
Pete, I had to laugh. My doctor prescribed meloxicam for me for arthritis. I did not know it was also for cows. I am not a lady slight in physique, so this gave me a LOL. Thankfully my sense of humor is equally broad. :)
I have to share one of the things I have learned from watching you. My normal MO with frustrating things may involve some cursing and throwing things around. I admit it! LOL I have found if I can just stop myself and say something like "hey you little jerk, why are you doing that?" or "my this is kinda frustrating!" and maybe even laugh? Totally diffuses me. :)
My family and I enjoy watching your videos. Especially being born and raised on a family farm out in the country ourselves. We do have a question for you or maybe a thought for a future video...My sons caught in one of your videos that you enjoy hunting...Maybe you could do a hunting video this up coming season. Anyways...God Bless you and your family an we look forward to your next video.
Such a wonderfully interesting video... how do you do that, make everything you do so utterly interesting?? First of all, love the way you took such consideration and care of the calf and the others. Loved the thoughts you shared on how humanely they need to be treated. Loved the way you fixed the wheels on your rake and all the little details you shared as you let us watch everything you did; it was just so very interesting! And as for the marvelous bale trailer your dad did such a great job on? My first thought was red, but you already have so much red in your collection of tractors. Green just doesn't seem right... then I thought of daring you to be wildly different and paint it in rainbow colors... lol... naaahh... that would be worse than one of your bad jokes. Then I thought of yellow... hum... I like that. And then it hit me... Yellow... White... or Black. Shiny, glistening boldly in the sun. With your "Just A Few Acres Farm" emblem painted on both sides. Yeah. One of those colors would be perfect for your emblem to be emblazoned on. You'd be the best-looking trailer full of hay going down the road that there ever was. :) Even if you had grease and dirt all over you. :))
How?......He's a great story teller.......If he was a song writer/musician, he'd be the same....he'd probably be like James Taylor/Joni Mitchell types....he's a movie producer.....a good one at that..
Hey Pete great video on fixing the rake. I can’t wait to see it do the next job all fixed up. And load the new RED trailer the next time we see it. I appreciate your comments on the castration and dehorning practices to prevent too much trauma for the animal and the farmer. Enjoyed the day.
Great show Pete, I enjoy watching real men working on equipment, doesn't scare me a bit, I can watch it all day and not break a sweat. Good job on the rake and the hay wagon looks great, your dad is a genius with a welder. I think it should be green, come on and admit it, it's not the color that's the problem, it's the popping sound those JD engines make that bother you. I also think you have a great herd of cattle, and the care you give them shows you are a talented farmer.
Pete, I appreciate the recent reference to computer speak... FIFO,LIFO stacks and q's lol. sincerly - a computer and electrical engineer. also... happy birthday to your dad
When farming as a kid my dad always said lots of ugly welds work just as good as a pretty weld. Fixing it to the best of your ability is better than it staying broke forever.
Youns do alot of work. I'M HAPPY TO SEE the new calf. Youns are nice to your animals and keeping them from pain. Thanks for the video. Good job. God bless.
Back in 1984 I was mowing a pasture at Mountain Dairy farm in Stores CT. Ground cover was thick, almost ground up calf with Woods mower connected to a Super M. 2 feet shy!! Too close!!
Paint the hay wagon red to match the tractor you just restored. Jack of all trades and a master of all trades...you and your dad are handy men to have around! God bless you both.
I’m glad the impact wrench is working out for you. The correct tool for the right job saves knuckles. As always, a great video. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge.
Great video, the paint needs to be red...funny the different ways to castrate, farms I grew up on tended to band later in life, but in my Idaho days, it was cut all at the same time earlier. Course out west that was the first meal off the steer and cutting day tended to be looked forward to.
True farmers do a little bit of everything, usually because the have to. Could you imagine the cost of subbing all those little fixes out. My favorite part of most all of your videos is your get it done mentality with a positive attitude. I know I get a little grumpy when things around my home break and to save money I will be fixing them. If I adopt your attitude, things might be a little less stressful around here. Thank you Pete for the lesson!
Amen!
Maybe the reason you don't see much of the cat is because he kicks it off camera. Okay, maybe not.
I was thinking about you and your content....and thinking about you teaching. Then I saw Bill Roberts comment. I'm not the only one that sees and hears it. 👍🙋 Everyone have a great day!
Hey Pete! The number 1 rule for wheel bearing work is: "Don't lick your fingers". I'm guessing that, in a pinch, that could apply to castration as well. 😁 Thanks for taking us along today!
Now that’s funny, especially seeing the dirt on Pete’s lip while working on the bearings😂🤣
To all of you reading this commentary, good health
@@offgridvillagelife thank you and same to you 🙂

Your knowledge is profound
My late dad used to say "Quick call the sheriff. He's choking the hammer". It's amazing what the mind remembers and triggers long lost memories. Thx
My old boss you to say something similar.
I think everyone chokes up on the hammer at least at times especially those who don't use them daily.
That being said ten-ish or so years ago when I was framing two or three days a week for an independent contractor I learned to let the hammer do the work and got a medium weight "California framer" (the style of handle) hammer and grabbed it down low as it put less fatigue on my left elbow since I am a lefty.

I have no idea how I ended up watching your videos, but I love your content. Very peaceful.
Hey Pete......Thanks for the great videos!!!!
Another great video, Pete!
Thanks for the cliff hanger Pete, but we know it will be RED!!🤣🤣🤣
Another great video by "Pete the Teacher". Your explanations of the things you do make your videos very interesting. Your father sure made a great bale trailer that should be painted IH red to go with your tractors.
...and put the farm logo on it too!
Thanks for sharing the video
Great video
Great! Don't forget the LOGO of yours to pick as they say! God bless!
Check the wheel bearings on the new trailer
As someone who has seen a very gentle cow break a horn I wholeheartedly agree with early dehorning. My neighbor and bestie's family had a lovely little Jersey cow for milk. That cow was a real sweetie. Some how she got her horn twisted in a piece of wire and concrete. She fought hard enough to break the horn but not get loose.

Far all red. It’ll blend and compliment all your other stuff. Thanks for a another top shelf video.
I’m back to watch Pete and his herd 😎
MY BROTHER AND I WE ARE COUNTRY BOYS FROM CUBA. WE LIKE YOUR VIDEOS , GOD BLESS YOU AND THE FAMILY.
Looks like the grease worms got to those bearings!! Lol.
Thx for sharing.
These videos I really enjoy. Fixing small parts is hard to follow sometimes but you make it easy. Thanks Pete.
Good morning Pete! I love all the mechanical know how in this video, the part of being a farmer that most people may not realize that needs to be done.
First time Seeing you weld! Way to go! Thanks for sharing! 👍
I like how all of the cows check the calf.
Great one.. Loved it
Man is that he might have JOY. I see you have it.. thanks for sharing.
Best part of the video was checking the bearing on the other wheel. Common sense at work. Such a rare commodity these days. Always a smile. Thanks Pete.
You just wanted to drive that new pickup again 😂🌧✝️🌾🐂🙏🏼💙🚜
Have a good day!!!
Great job on the rake Pete. Farmers need to be a jack of all trades.
I do love the way you handle things that pop up. So laid back and calm. Farming is a challenge and yet it's all worth it in the long run if one deals with it in a rational manner. You have a wonderful ❤️ and I appreciate you and Hillary taking the time to share and talk with us.
Love the mechanics videos. Have a nice day....
Love how all the cows come together to welcome the calf!
Wat a nice looking calf.
'Blackcaps'....YES! thats what our family called them too. thanks for the memory Pete....sheesh haven't used that term for 50yrs
I love to watch Pete work.
Great video. Paint it red!!!
Cows did a meet and greet with the new STEER and you did a great job on the video, BUT NO joke today 😟
Pete, you are a raconteur and I love your story telling. My observation about you is that of being a Kind Man. In the summers of my youth many summers I visited my Uncle John. A. a farmer here in Florida. He was a storyteller as well. I saw him butcher cows and he had around 200 head of hog at his max heard. A friend connected him to seal test dairy and he got a refrigerated truck of ice cream that was out of date. He stuffed the home freezer with gallons of these half gallon rectangles and the rest went into the hog feed. Grocery stores gave him outdated veggies and other foods. He gave about 10 percent of his corn and other crops to the church to give out to people in need. Every Sunday he was in church and taught Sunday School into his 80's. He grew peanuts too; us kids would boil them in Maxwell House coffee cans outside. Boiled peanuts are a southern treat. Cows would come from across the field for those peanut plants. My question to you is about your contact with snakes? What kind of snakes do you deal with especially around your chickens? Note: That ice cream was out of date but not inedible. In my visits at night, we would grab our own half gallon of whatever flavor we wanted and watched tv. After a day in the fields, I have since never seen a bathtub get so dirty. Well, keep the videos coming and Thank You for sharing.
That hay wagon is awesome!!!!!!!
Your Dad is a great fabricator.
Always a pleasure to watch. Thanks Pete
Paint it red. I love your channel.
I like watching you make repairs to your farm equipment, something I have not observed too much in my lifetime. I am, once again, impressed with the variety of work & repair it takes to run a farm. Even though I grew up in rural Ohio farmland, my family did not farm. I also love your cattle! They are always 'talking' to you! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first time I have seen all the tools . Good simple explanation. Thank you
Lovely couple always so content and happy.
make it red, obviously, and what a good video on the hayrake.
Once again, a job worth doing is worth doing well! You are the Pete of all trades!
You got a calf on your shoulder & no crap on your sleeve. Job well done!👍😁
Glad to see you wearing that UT shirt my dad works there 4 days a week and then on the evenings and fridays and weekends we are out taking care of our beef herd
Ah, Pete, great Video! So glad you got the calf taken care of...He won't remember the doctors visit in your barn today!!! Golly, You really attacked that piece of machinery with gusto. Great job! Now...........red or JOhn Deere green.....THAT, is the question. Can't wait to see the hay wagon tomorrow!! Have a great evening and night, hope you aren't too lame tomorrow! Bev in Maine
Someone once told me that "Life is what happens when your planning other things ".
Good for another hundred years!
thank you for a wonderful day I enjoy your videos I m learning a lot from you
Good to see you both! Great video! 🤗🤗🤗
Red! Definitely paint it red :)
New calves are beautiful! I remember replacing a lot bearings in my younger days. Worst ones were the sealed bearings on a White 13 foot fold up disk. It had about 2 inch hex nuts. No impact wrench.

Hello Pete great job as always

If you paint your trailer green your tractors may rebel and refuse to pull it anymore 🤣
Awesome video, great job!
Hi Pete, this is Ingemar from Newfoundland, I purchased a Webber and cooked a chicken with Hickory, it was delicious. Thanks for sharing.
You are my favorite ‘Tractor Doctor’ !!!
Love watching you work on tractor and farm implements.
Pete, I had to laugh. My doctor prescribed meloxicam for me for arthritis. I did not know it was also for cows. I am not a lady slight in physique, so this gave me a LOL. Thankfully my sense of humor is equally broad. :)
I have to share one of the things I have learned from watching you. My normal MO with frustrating things may involve some cursing and throwing things around. I admit it!

Greetings from Florida! Absolutely love your vids, Pete! Wonderful attitude! Many thanks to you and Hillary. God bless!
Hey Pete great video on fixing the rake. I can’t wait to see it do the next job all fixed up. And load the new RED trailer the next time we see it. I appreciate your comments on the castration and dehorning practices to prevent too much trauma for the animal and the farmer. Enjoyed the day.
Great video Pete. I like the way you do things.
Pete... New Holland BLUE! Confuse EVERYBODY!! LOL 😂
Always nice to see the 504 out and about
Your videos are great no matter what you show ........... I vote to paint it GREEN
My introduction to Cotter pins was working with my grandmother's Ford 8N.
Great show Pete, I enjoy watching real men working on equipment, doesn't scare me a bit, I can watch it all day and not break a sweat. Good job on the rake and the hay wagon looks great, your dad is a genius with a welder. I think it should be green, come on and admit it, it's not the color that's the problem, it's the popping sound those JD engines make that bother you. I also think you have a great herd of cattle, and the care you give them shows you are a talented farmer.
Another great video.
I truly admire your many skills.Impressive!
Pete, I appreciate the recent reference to computer speak... FIFO,LIFO stacks and q's lol. sincerly - a computer and electrical engineer. also... happy birthday to your dad
Great video, learn quite a bit from your experience, Thank You ! Mark from Singapore here,
When farming as a kid my dad always said lots of ugly welds work just as good as a pretty weld. Fixing it to the best of your ability is better than it staying broke forever.
Throws us all for a loop and paints the hay wagon Kubota orange
Youns do alot of work. I'M HAPPY TO SEE the new calf. Youns are nice to your animals and keeping them from pain. Thanks for the video. Good job. God bless.
Great job Pete.... as usual.
Pete…always amazing to see all your skills!!! You are an inspiration!! Well done!!!
I'm sure it will be Red....lol Great ideo Pete as always.
Back in 1984 I was mowing a pasture at Mountain Dairy farm in Stores CT. Ground cover was thick, almost ground up calf with Woods mower connected to a Super M. 2 feet shy!! Too close!!
Awesome video Sir. I hope you make the right choice on choosing the color for the hay wagon!!🙃
I vote for the Red, the Green will just eat at you Pete! Good luck with your choice, can't wait to see what you decide!
Great video Pete . 2 best things cattle and fixing things love it.
Love the Shirt.....We are Texans!!!
Paint the hay wagon red to match the tractor you just restored. Jack of all trades and a master of all trades...you and your dad are handy men to have around! God bless you both.
I’m glad the impact wrench is working out for you. The correct tool for the right job saves knuckles. As always, a great video. Thank you for sharing your life and knowledge.
The herds reaction to you stealing the calf and bringing it back was interesting.
Right how that one cow stopped the other one from running over there 😂
Great video, the paint needs to be red...funny the different ways to castrate, farms I grew up on tended to band later in life, but in my Idaho days, it was cut all at the same time earlier. Course out west that was the first meal off the steer and cutting day tended to be looked forward to.
Paint the trailer red. You dad does to good of a job to make it green. ;)
Thank you
I’m glad our new holland rake does not have the two front wheels less things to go bad
I sure enjoy your videos 👍
Paint your hay wagon Ford blue! You have good reason with such a sharp new truck. Keep up the good work!
