- I'm getting better at running the excavator! In this video: morning chores with the animals, doing some digging with the mini-excavator & taking the bucket off to see what needs replacing, and beginning to plant the garden.

Playing with the excavator and gardening are a refreshing bit of new content sprinkled amongst the usual. I enjoy seeing you do new things and seeing your take.
My joints are like those bushings
Mine too!!!
Pete, the Dexter burgers, you’re killing me! Your videos remind me to have gratitude for the animals that nourish us and the farmers who do this incredibly important work. Thank you all!
Hi Pete, you are a kid with a new toy, enjoy. Living the dream Pete and Hillary. Take care.
That excavator looks like fun. Bucket of Kentucky fried chicken takes on a new meaning
That clean up y'all did around the porch was well worth the effort. Looks so inviting and peaceful! 👍
I love hearing your gardening tips and to see you and Hilary work in the garden 💚💛 Those laying hens are so colorful!
This was a full-flavored video, with all my favorite seasonings.
The last pass in the trench use the heel of the bucket to flatten the trench bottom, it mashes the rocks flat. I worked gas utility pipeline construction and maintenance for 38 years.
❤ Awesome farmers are not only providing are food they are a inspiration to many generations 😊
That's what I like to see, a chicken that knows it's job . Practicing the size of the pot.
Thanks again for another Sunday morning video. Nice garden tips too.
The chickens are saying "EAT MORE BEEF!! " again.. lol😄!!
It was super enjoyable, watching yourself and Hillary work! I enjoy your channel very much Pete, thank you!
For parts for that excavator Check with the guy running Diesel Creek. He is rebuilding what was crap back to usable machinery all the time and has a wealth of knowledge regarding where to find what you might need.
If you have a source of drywall manufacturing they often have end rolls of paper that you can usually barter with or get them for free. We lay it down and over lap by at least 6inches and only makes small holes for inserting your new plants. We had great success with this method.
Great video Pete! I love love love working in the garden, it's so relaxing, except picking weeds, that's not as much fun 😂. Eating vegetables you grew your self is so rewarding. God bless you and your family 🙏
great tip on the fence with tomatoes instead of cages
We were cracking up when Hillery called the chickens land sharks😂. That's what my husband calls our 16 year old grandson.
The backhoe is working out for you. Lots of chickens. The garden is coming along real nice. I love seeing the cattle. Thanks for sharing this. ❤🙏🇨🇦
Mini excavator videos are very popular.
Please do more of them.
Pete, I just love your gardening segments! They’re so calm and peaceful. Thank you for your great videography as always!
Pete and Hilary, Thanks for the great video. Your really making progress learning to operate the Case Mini Excavator. It take time to experiment with controls and how the excavator reacts. There's so much good information on You Tube and etc. on how train a person to learn to operate the machine. Like anything else when you learn the basics. It just takes practice to perfect your skills. If you study an excavator's function. It's like a hydraulic arm . Which function similar to a human arm. Springtime is a busy time on the mixed farm with multiple chores between fencing , planting gardens and pasturing cattle , broiler chickens and pigs. The Burgers look delicious .
As a person working in a garden centre, paper will disintegrate very quickly and allows weeds up through it, cardboard is slightly better, but you can get weed mats that work for about 10 years, eliminating a fair amount of weeds from growing, but there will always be a few of them, unless you use a dose of roundup.
Also, plants grow best in pure peat compost, there is very little nutrients in bark mulch.
Good Morning you guys!!! You guys are awesome, I appreciate the effort in making your videos...
It's always a great day when just a few acres has posted love these folks
A nice cage for tomatoes is a concrete panel. Cut in half and with the 4 inch squares makes it easy to reach your hand inside and hold onto the tomato bringing it through the opening
Looks like you’re going to figure out the excavator. I have been running excavators and every else for 20 plus years. Every thing you said is spot on!! Just pull grade untill your stick boom is stair up and down. Just easier at first
Another great video Pete! I'm glad you've started gardening again. I'm eager to see how it progresses as the summer rolls along.
Great lil short video, Pete. Nice start to my Sunday mornings, as always. See ya soon
Yes try to dig with the Blade in front over the non - Drive Wheels
You are always welcome to put video up without sound I wouldn't be mad at all and miss hen was telling you an egg would top off the burgers ❤
A Manual, tools and a new Toy, Happy Days , Good garden advise , thanks , Burgers look great
Thanks for sharing your day with another great video!
Your discussion of no dig vegetable gardens was impressive. My dad put so much effort into cultivating between rows. A new vision is needed!
Hi Pete! Really love to see how you garden. I'm learning to garden for the first time this year! Would love to see how you make those garlic dill fermented cucumbers!
Thanks again for the video Pete. I hope you and Hillarie are having a wonderful day too!
pete, watching you charcoal grill and farm has made me jealous! a friend bought me a grill as a gift, and today is our first brisket! as i plant in our own garden. Good day sir!
It's good to see you again Pete!
Hello Pete,Hillary garden looks great nice work, enjoyed your video have a great day.
Wonderful as always! I love seeing your garden.
Good day to all, peace.
The comment to the lil bean plant made my morning. It's the simple things for me! Thanks Pete.
Looking forward to seeing how your garden turns out mate, well done and good luck.
Liking the excavator rehabilitation. Nice machine!
Hey Pete on a note of your raking practice with the excavator. Theres a sweet spot where you can just swing the stick & not need to move the boom, and youll pull a nice flat grade. Its about a 3 foot section @ 6:08 in your vid. If you can "rake" while staying in that 3 foot sweet spot, youll have a much easier time!
Thank you for the garden update.
As a full time excavator operator your doing great and can’t fault any of what your doing it all takes time only thing I could offer with your soft touch it move your hands higher up it gives you at least I found a more controlled touch
Love watching your videos, Pete
Thanks for this video Pete. Very enjoyable.
great work for your soul Pete
The burgers look great ! Great video, keep up the great work, love them.
Thanks Pete & Hil
We really enjoy you and Hillary and your knowledge is amazing.
A lot of different things for sure, but I like it like that too :) :) Thank you
Love to see how you gather, clean and pack your eggs. You have quite a few layers and it would be interesting to see how you handle the volume. Enjoy your videos.
Lovelovelove these videos, thank you so much, Pete!
Thanks for the update Hillary and Pete.
P.S. Pete you’ll never regret purchasing the smaller bucket.
Thanks for another great interesting video. I sure miss my growing things in a garden many many years back. It is a love of labour and to enjoy what grows from it.
My Mother’s Day dinner request was burgers from the 1/4 cow we bought from a local farm. Nothing beats it
GOOD AFTERNOON PETE
Great video as always and thanks again hope you are all doing well mate
Gonna be fun to watch the excavator restoration!
Thanks Pete and Hillary ❤
Thanks for the very relaxing video Pete, Hilary.
I really enjoy you taking us on a tour.
I did enjoy this video, Pete! A little of this, a little of that, you have a gift of presenting these like you're talking to your neighbor across the fence. It's cool to see you somewhat out of your comfort zone sharing your experiences on the excavator. Looks neat to play with and learn on. Murfreesboro, TN
Great video as always. Thank you. I love that you are doing a garden this year.
Thank you keeping us all a bit more grounded in the things that matter most.
You gave me some good hints on some of your plantings, thanks for that. I enjoy the variety that you give us, that's what a farm is about. We have been focusing on the garden too, but there are still cattle chores to attend to, such as fence mending, tree culling, barn and tool shed work. Thanks for sharing, have a wonderful day!
Last year had some home improvements completed and my contractor had what I believe to be a roll of cardboard about 3 foot wide that he put down for them to walk on in the early stages of renovation. Maybe check with a contractor supply?
I always enjoy seeing your vlogs first thing in the morning. thanks for sharing them with us.
Heh Pete, love your new toy. I have no use for one, but would love to have one anyway!
All your hard work has paid off, the Homestead is looking very organized and put together wonderfully.
Garden is looking good.
Home grown tomatoes are the best, but in my case living in the big city i'd only be able to grow *exhaust..ted* tomatoes! .. haha get it because ..
damn tough crowd!.
Yup, very filling. 😊
Just a simple thank you Pete. Keep it up
Your choice of the bigger bucket on your excavator is a good idea, I have a backhoe on my tractor n have 2 buckets 12”n 16” n the smaller bucket with wet dirt or clay it’ll never dump out cleanly, so I don’t use my smaller bucket, great video !!
Great tips on the Gardening, Started Garden, this year for first time in 20 years
What a wonderful new tool. It should help make many of your projects much easier.
It didn't take you as long as I thought it would to pull some "Preventive Maintenance" and we used to call it in my Army Days. Back in the day. (proudly by the way in 1960-66) Yep that means I'm old!! so goes the way of life. and watching Pete and Hillary is a great way to pass the time and even at my age still learn stuff!! what more could you ask for! thanks for sharing Pete and Hillary. and you too! Have a good day! ECF
Good morning Pete & Hilarie !!!!
Miss Cassidy heard the cows & came running !!!
I had a hard time explaining the situation …..
😆
Bad day until I was finally able to convince her that even though this one didn’t have any cattle, there are plenty more that do !!!
Learning to deal with disappointment is just a part of life, even at her age.
Once she regained her composure, and a brief conversation, we spent a length of time watching previous videos of the cows …..
One good hug & life is good again !!!
C’mon COWS !!!!
P.S.
We are now getting ready to plant HER lil garden.
She informs me if I am good ….
She will let me have some food out of HER garden this year ……
Hey Pete, I love the garden content. I’m not surprised the you approach gardening like everything else, simple is best!
We also grown cucumbers and pole beans on wire fence on t posts. Works great and makes picking much easier.
And you wouldn’t want it any other way. Have a great week Pete and Hillarie!
Thank you for sharing! Prayers for health and safety.🙏❤️🙏
I just wanna tell you. I found your RUclips a few days ago and I've been constantly watching everything. I can find on you cause. I absolutely love your channel. I love how you explain things in your voice is so easy to listen to and you have a beautiful wife. And I'm so glad that she's on the quiet side. Cause that's what I am too. And I always thought there was something wrong with me. But I just don't have a lot to say to somebody. And if III don't want it. Just be talkin words out there so, but I'm so thankful that you put this RUclips out and just God bless you and just keep ongoing.
As always great video Pete ! Those burgers ! My mouth is watering !
I’m excited to watch you learn how to use/fix/maintain the excavator!!
Big boys and their big toys. 😃
Came home from a long day at work... beat and so very tired. Got online and saw your newest video and boy did I perk up. :) Fixed me a fine chicken sandwich and a tall glass of iced tea, kicked back and enjoyed every moment of your gardening and piddling around the farm with your new excavator. What a great way to end the day. Thank you for the peaceful interlude. Good night.
I love the your garden work!
I agree with your wide bucket vs slimmer, it doesn't really matter how much dirt you end up moving when using heavy equipment, its not like your using a shovel and breaking your back 😂.
I thought Henry was quite interested in the new excavator at the auction. Henry, get in there and practice like your dad!
Great day indeed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life. So relaxing to watch first thing in the morning.
OK, I'm having burgers today. Have a great day, Y'all!
Have A great day!
Pete we use bolts to lock pins on our excavator for the reason of normal lock pins seem to pop off and and if not careful buckets fall off
If you were digging for a living the narrowest bucket for the job is best even if you have the ocasional big rock. Also a lot less wear when digging big stumps.
