    Absolutely do reviews on tools/products. American made tools in particular that can help the American rancher/farmer/homestead. We gotta support our own.

    Forty seven years ago, a city boy, moved onto a Montana cattle ranch. Fixing fence was one of my jobs... miles and miles of fence! I bought my Texas Fence Fixer 10 years ago and at the time, I didn’t even own a fence! But after my experience with fixing fences in my younger days, and seeing how it worked, I had to have that tool! I love my Texas Fencer, it works! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Great to have tools cause you will need tools to fix things when it mess up. Fence, tractor,and other things too. I wouldn't want the fence broke down ,all your animals will get out and you will not want predators getting in your fence to get the animals. Great work and thanks for explaining . thanks for sharing the details.

    When I grew up I saw real product reviews happening. At the church social between early Sunday Service and Sunday School, the adults saw friends and would talk about things they had seen or discovered during the week. RUclips product reviews are just the same thing, but on a narrower topic range. And sharing what you know is always good.

    What I really like is; when you state the cost of each product (when used). I too fill out a spread sheet of cost and in the agriculture industry 2+2 always makes 4 and most cases makes 3 :).
    Thank you for reviewing new product(s) you come across… every penny saved is earned….

  • @Harvesttimebluegrassgospel
    @Harvesttimebluegrassgospel 4 года назад +1

    Just my 2 cents here. Your goal on the channel is to show where our food comes from and in the end help farmers correct? That’s how I take it anyways. To me if you don’t use your platform to show new products and potential ways to cut costs or make things easier then you wouldn’t be helping farmers to their full potential. I have seen both of those products and thought ah it’s just a gimmick. But by watching you use them I get a free look at it and by getting your opinion I can now purchase with some peace of mind simple because I value and trust your opinion. So I’m all for some of these videos and would appreciate them as well. Thanks for the videos as always!

  • @peterkizer6163
    @peterkizer6163 4 года назад

    No question about your integrity, Mike; yes please, test away. Years (and years) ago, I spent the summer after high school on a homestead (not ranch) in Salida, CO. One of the chores I had to do was walk fence. I had an old pair of fence pliers and way too many staples (at the beginning of the day, anyway). Oh yeah, and a come-along. I love your "If we ignore new technology, it will march right past us." So true.

    Sounds good Mike as learning new things never gets old. Watching the end of your video makes me wonder how great a blooper video would be. :) You can never go wrong putting one of those together. You would blow the house away though if you could arrange an interview between yourself and the Armchair Rancher. ;)

    I've seen the videos designed to sell you a Texas Fence Fixer. Would be interested in a real world in depth look at its pros and cons. Do appreciate your letting us tag along for the overview of both of these products. I can see how both would be money well invested.
    Thanks for all your time and willingness to pass along your experiences. Been in the cattle business for less than two years, so definitely appreciate your candor. Keep 'em coming, Mike!

    Thanks for your informative video. I have used the Texas Fence Fixer for probably 6 or 7 years. I love it! Getting up in years, and always repairing by myself on 770 acres in north central Texas. It is most appropriate for loose, slack wires, but is also great for broken wires. If you can’t pull the ends together enough, just splice on a short piece of wire and then put on the Texas Fence Fixer and the two cut ends will form the pieces that you wrap after you pull it together. If the cows knock down a lengthy section, then use your regular fence stretcher (usually orange) to make a strong long pull together. Then place your Texas Fixer in the middle of your stretcher, pull it together, and remove the regular stretcher. With the regular stretcher out of the way, you have plenty of room to wrap your ends and twist in the middle. I like to use a Phillips screwdriver to make the final middle twist, as they will get it as tightly twisted as possible and will then slide out easily. If you get the final twist really tight, then the Texas Fixer will just fall off! This tool is great! (I have no connection to the farm folks who developed this tool........I just really like what it does for me.)

    I normally wouldn't agree with these videos simply because the person doing them is usually forced one way or another to be a sales person but you are clear from the start that's not your choice and I trust your review on things so I think it's a great idea to start posting about product reviews.
