I'm not as old as Lawrence, but I've quit doing much tire work. I used to do everything. It's not worth it anymore. You will be money ahead paying someone to change the tire. When a crop is ready, I'll gladly pay a tire service to do the work. You can lose more value in the crop than the money you save trying to do it yourself, not to mention getting hurt doing it. You will also be money ahead replacing the rim with a good used one or new one. Once they start cracking, they won't stop. The metal fatigue is there. It will let you down again, when you need it most.
Wise words. 👍🙂
Totally agree. I would even suggest they find a mechanic who will come out 1 day a week all year to do maintenance --- required necessary work and if none, preventive maintenance. Of course, that would eliminate lots of video drama, but from a farming / business sense, it makes sense & cents ... and dollars.
p.s. maybe time too, to get a few dogs fixed, just an opinion.
He'd be fine if he lost 100 lbs.
That's what I was thinking. The tire service not the weight. That was ugly.

Lawrence, when it comes to tractor tires, bite the bullet and have the tire shop come out to remove the tire. The money is well spent because it saves time, it's safer and it keeps you from beating the tire with your head! Like Kenny Rogers said, you gotta know when to holder and when to fold'em! If farming was easy, anybody could do it.
Wesley and LB need to sit and talk about the future of the farm. Is he interested in it or not. Dial it back to a manageable level. It's a hard pill to swallow that he can't do
what he use to. Haven't done tires in 40 years. Life is too short for the bull .
One thing for sure Lawrence Bernard is not Lazy ❤❤❤God Bless You Lawrence 🙏✝️🙏
time to get some dogs fixed no matter he wants to or not ...... its the responsible thing to do !!!!!!!
Lawrence, I take my hat off to you. You are one of the few men that doesn't know what quit is as for your family and farm. I'm 66 now and I have gotten to leave the bigger jobs for the professionals. That way I or someone else doesn't get hurt. I also know that you are teaching Wesley the way to operate a business at the same time by doing and fixing what needs to be fixed without depending on someone else to show you 2 or 3 days late. Just be safe and careful. No need to be in a hurry, because when you get in a hurry bad thing could happen. When I get frustrated I stop, sit down and have a Big glass of tea. Be safe and healthy.
I done it once and said "never again".
Thank God we have tire shops that come out and work on tractor tires
C'mon Lawrence please don't give up things will get better 🙏 I know things get tough but we will pray for you we love you guys ❤❤
Roast beef in crock pot is the best, searing and cooking in roaster is also good
Lawrence reminds me of my grandfather he farmed all his life . When he would get frustrated he would say I'm going to sell the farm and move to the river and fish all day ! The new puppies are adorable . Enjoy the fair !
Girl he is 1 smart man heck y’all all are Really enjoy your videos. ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
I know Lawrence is working hard and up against it. Those tires can be something else. I just take mine to the tire place. Farming is not always easy. But the sun will shine again. Y’all take care. 👍❤️🙏
All your videos are BIG DEALS, Meredith. Thanks for the window into your world. Your positive attitude is off the charts. High praises to Lawrence for understanding, and to not give you any grief, while he is working, and you are asking a bunch of questions. He has patience-of -steel. That's actually....LOVE! He knows you are making a video, but he has work to do. Westley is doing well to pay attention to how dad does things mechanical. You're going to be a great mechanic , Westley. Leverage " is" an amazing thing . Experience is the best teacher. Austin is happy about the new puppies. All in a day of This Farm Wife. Love y'all!
Meredith.
Please take care, yes sometimes farming is very hard. Sometimes, backing away from the problem will help clear your head so you can see the solutions to a problem. Farming is worth it in time. 😊❤
You farm?
Kudos to you all for keeping on going through the hard and tough times…of farm life.!❤️🙏🏽👍🏾💯
Great Video Meredith, Tractor Tyres are best left to the professionals, it's a highly specialized task, congrats to the family on the new additions. thanks for sharing
Tires. And it's not that specialized. If he could walk and stand up , it would help.
Thats why i call fountain tire!!
There is a song "Daddy won't sell the farm" and neither will Lawrence. He is just tired and frustrated. If it is rear tires I hire it done no matter what the cost. You have to have the right tools to dismount and mount tractor tires and the strength to do it. It is dangerous too. He is like me in the respect that we aren't spring chickens anymore. I am having two rear tractor tires replaced next week. In times past I would have done it but no more. A lot easier to write that check. Not everyday you see a brother and sister go off fishing together. I saw Wes put his gun in the truck with them. I used to do it too but times are so different now. You and Lawrence have raised two responsible young people. They aren't kids anymore. Be proud of your accomplishments in raising those two. Don't take it for granted. Be very proud...
Sometimes those tires can get real stuck, and it definitely tries every last bit of patience you have, Godspeed Lawrence! Thanks for sharing this Bernhard family
Great video, I feel for Lawrence trying to get that tire off. That’s a beast of a job.
I have a difficult time manually removing a car tire off the rim, I cannot imagine how much more difficult a tractor tire is to remove, then putting it back on. You have my sympathy and admiration.
That's why there's tire service trucks who come out properly equipped to do the job safely.
@@lynwessel2471 yes , I am aware of these services. However,$$$$$$$$$$
@@rickharms1 Loss of a crop is bigger $$$$$$$ than the tire repair. Timeliness is the most important thing in farming.
@@lynwessel2471 Hmmm! last time I had the tire service guy out he forgot the tank for the beet juice and had to reschedule for another day.
@@iffykidmn8170 Guessing the tractor didn't fall off the inadequate jack though.
Amen and Hallelujah ! The farmer just loves puppies ! They're so cute ! I predicted Clara having pups again about a week ago ! 😉
..and there ya go ! Love my Lady and Duke toether...she's so tolerant yet sets boundaries ...have a blessed day y'all !🙏
Smart lady. Thanks friend!🥰
I'm sure she called 1of the pups a little rat,and we all thought she was such a nice lady.
Glad I popped in when I did, cause that's the type of day I was having! What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Hang tough my farm buddies!
God bless you all. Day and the and the farmer. You need to write a book. Lawrence, I'm sorry you're having such a tough time.. You are in my prayers. We all know you're a good man. A great husband and father. But it's always something. Broke! But we are. Thinking of you when we think of Farmers. And we thank God for all. Farmers. We pray that your day will be better Tomorrow..
Your Kids are learning how to do a lot of things, please also teaching them why. That will help them figure out things for themselves in the future. I find that after my Dad passed I knew how to do lots of things but didn't know why I was doing things a certain way because my Dad just said do this, or do that'a way. Now I waste a lot of time trying to figure out how to fix things and why when it is different--which it always is. love you videos, 84 yr. old girl farmer
Meredith, Don't ever quit being You! Enjoy all y'alls video's. West is going to be like his dad, can fix anything? God Bless Farmers!
I thought my comments might be out-of-line, but after posting responses to 2, I read all the rest. They confirm my hopefully positive comment: I hear in Meredith's words, and her facial expressions, and tone of voice, the continual frustration with the repair and maintenance of their equipment. The consensus re the tire was to hire a mobile tire guy. Agree.
But, imho, "the farm" business needs to find a person to visit their farm once a week and do repairs and preventive maintenance and clean up "the shop" area. It seems to be a needed "expense" of "the farm."
I am 85. Retired 27 years. I am well-off, but not rich. We hire several different people to help us maintain our residence. Lawn cutter. Garden handiman. Neighborhood retired furnace friend. Neighborhood electrician. Neighborhood skilled all tasks handyman.
Farm equipment wear and tear is so much work. I never realized you need mechanical skills for all those machines or must know someone who can help. There should be a tractor service that stops by on days like that. Love seeing all that goes into running your farm. Love the sunset with that beautiful tree in the pasture. Keep going and smile each day. Cheers.
LB reminds me of my husband, frugal and stubborn! But loveable!
Happy to see Lady!
Hubby hates tire work! He says it’s the dirtiest part of a vehicle/tractor. Your little pups are so cute! And y’all don’t owe anyone any explanation but I know you know that 😉 we all raise our animals and do what is right for our family and our farm. Not anyone else’s and it’s no one’s business! Just love on those puppies while you have them ❤
Dumb question… why do horses wear shoes? 🙈
Beautiful sunset! Thanks for sharing your day. Good visit w your fam!
Hey, some days everything seems like a 500-pound bench press. Tempers can flair, just blowing off steam. I'm the same way. Then the next day things start to go right, and it's all ok and the job gets done. I don't have a farm, But I have a house, that something is always falling apart or not starting or clogged. And in the long run, I love it all. Thanks for the video.
In Canada we have the tire shop service truck come to the farm and change tires on big equipment. Smiles 😃 from 🇨🇦
Exactly we do the same here,in Saskatchewan
Watching from County Sligo Ireland 🇮🇪 😎🤠🚲✍
The true measure of a person is how they conduct themselves under stress. I know exactly what Lawrence is dealing with but keep in mind that he is not just showing a young man how to fix a tractor rim and tire. He is showing him how to be a man under stress. It is not always exactly what you do or say. It is how you make people feel. Sometimes it is best to just go fishin'
I feel your frustration. Sometimes it’s best to walk away and take a deep breath come back and attack it again.
👍
That’s a Beautiful sunset 😊
Awesome family! Day to day operations will frustrate you and make you want to quit. Farming is hard to quit once it’s in your day to day life! We know, we retired to continue farming. Enjoy your family and the time on the farm with your children. From southwest Arkansas.
Farming can be difficult sometimes and very mind bending. But as ive learned it's just a test of faith and patience. Hope lawerence and wes have good luck with the tire. Cute puppies
It's sure easy to lose both when you are a mechanic, farmer and so hands on with everything.
Y'all have a pretty place! I like you're part of the state, it;s a lot flatter down here near the coast.
Please let us know if we’re going to watch a fishing 🎣 show? Hope Lawrence got the tire done and found a mobile tire guy for next time. One of life’s lessons is you can’t do everything. 👴 ❤
You’re lucky down there.. Here in central NY we have very few family operations. Most have been replaced by HUGE farms.
Hang in there brother 🙏❤️🚜🇺🇸
Thank you
Meredith, you cracked me up🤣🤣 "ok, I'll zip it....I changed my mind...."🤣🤣🤣 you go gurl!!!
Those are rough days. Sorry. It's like walking on eggshells. You have the best attitude though. That is the best way to show support. Have fun at the fair.🍁🍂🍁🍂🙏🙏🙏
Goodness beautiful baby puppies!!!❤ Smooches to them isent gods work amazing.... wow
I've tried working on tractor tires and it's not for me , I call the tire shop for a service call and just pay the price , I've always said...you can't beat somebody at their own game
You are ABSOLUTELY right. Lawrence would likely do better farming 2 more fields (his specialty) and hiring mechanical maintenance --- exactly your point.
Same with Wesley ... specialize in the job you like the most that earns you the most money, and pay someone to do the jobs that people get paid less to do. If farming makes $40/hr and mechanic makes $35/hr, the farmer loses $5/hr each hour he works as a mechanic. Me? 85 yrs young; retired 27 yrs. Wealthy by following my own advice. Thank you.
Meredith you’re in my prayers, don’t know how you do it!!! ❤️
I loved your joke about spinning the wheel like price is right, I even thought I caught LB laughing a little!
I tried to change the tires on my golf cart, that lasted about an hour. Loaded em up and took to the tire store , best 60 dollars i spent in a long time
I like your videos "From the time they start until they are finished" 😂
Greetings from Northeast Ohio. I actually thought all your dogs were fixed. I was assuming Clara was an older dog as in much older. I know you got lady fixed when she joined your family. Is Duke fixed? I know because of who your family is you will find wonderful homes for the pups.
Thank you for sharing everything.God bless you all.
As an old mechanic I can tell you I feel your pain in tires ..those big tractor tires ... sometimes best to pay the Mobil tire mechanic to do it and use your time for other things , I changed hundreds of small tires bit the real frozen on the rim ones went to the tire man , and I could continue to rebuild engines
You need to get Lawrence a bead buster. I love mine, have even used it on heavy grader tires in below zero weather. Just a dinky looking little thing. Clamps on with an impact gun and breaks the bead. Can use a wrench too, but half inch impact works very well
Retire now Lawrence , it's time at your age, enjoy life with your family. You will not regret it, and will save you a lot of headaches with the farm. God will see you through.
These things are hear to try us all....but tomorrow is another beautiful day....thankyou for sharing Meredith 💐❤️
Wesley is getting tall. Time to turn him loose on doing tractor field work
Hello there. I'm happy inuff to stop at home. I don't particularly like show's and fairs. I can't do with the noise. I'm more prectical. But I don't begudge anyone else going to show's and the like. I like to hear there conversation when they come home. Over a brew or a beer.
Farm equipment is so hard to work on! Frustrating because as we get older it is so hard on the body!! I feel for Lawrence1
If my Daddy was working on a tire I would be working on the tire with him . I wouldn't get to go to the fair. I'm 60 now and I still work with him. It didn't run me away from the farm.
Such a beautiful place for sunset, Gods Spot😊
I have fixed many tires ranging from difficult to near impossible.
Come help please 😅
I know all about that tire stuff! That's farming, if it can break, it will! I use a short piece of 2x4 right against the tire so it just misses the rim
Lawrence is an awesome Man. He has worked hard many years with much worry. He is of.age to.start slowing down as his body has to be tired. God is good.
Getting the bead broke and removing a tractor tire from the rim is a difficult job even with the right tools. The pros can make it look like a slick and easy job. That's why they're the pros. I know it's expensive but a simple phone call would have saved hours of frustration and potential danger.
Sweet puppies !! ❤❤
Good afternoon from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Our pleasure!
Because I have been there done that on a smaller scale
Meredith,
A couple breaker bars would help Lawrence get that tire off. Working on large pieces of equipment can, and will be frustrating at times. Walk away for a couple minutes, get a sweet tea, and relax. Then go back a try again.
Wesley, you and your 3D printer can real make a difference on replacement parts for family....and friends😉
Beautiful sunset
Beautiful sunset of the field!! Wonderful Pic and so serene..
Much respect. Hang tough for now. The country is going to need food big time in the next 2-3 years. At least for yourselves but growing extra is God’s work.
I believe we decide what kinda day we gonna have so , I absolutely refuse to have a bad day 😁
You have some of the most beautiful sunsets, they rival those we see on Lake Michigan. Loved having an ending, thanks for sharing.
We found that rims and tires were more frustration than they were worth. For everyones sanity and health it waa easier to just hire it done. It may cost more but sure saved us!
That sunset was beautiful.
I wondered if you had some news for us.. Clara looked like she was nursing. Cute cute cute the buggers ❤
Lawrence will get that tire figured out I have faith in him Wesley is doing a good job helping so the job will get done
🙏❤️
That's one thing my farmer has given up doing. He'll take that sucker off and drop it at the tire place so fast it will make it head spin. He's even given up on front tires. I feel your pain. We have a front tire we are babying along. One more field for us and we are done! Then just haul them all home. Unhappy farmers definitely happen tomorrow is a new day. Hope the pinky is ok.
It’s a long way from my heart ha. Thank you. Good luck finishing up!
Yes I will never do tractor tires any more . Our 50 hp massey ferguson tractor had a leek so we took the tire off and gave it to miller tire millersburg ohio cost $53.00 dallors break it down grind the rust off the wheel for 20 min. fix the innertube and put a patch in the tire .
Gempler's sells a really neat tool to break down large tires. I'm sure there's other places to buy them too. Or if you're too cheap to spend that much money like me you can make one after that principle. If I were making it again I would use 7/8 fine thread grade 8 threaded rod. I used a piece of bush hog blade that was broken for the clamp and bit/ push foot. After you use one of these tools you'll never want to break down a farm tire any other way!
I have tried to work on tires and it is very frustrating because it doesn't always work. Maybe the next time it will work. But always be careful..
I love puppies, hopefully her brother didn't get again.
I understand the frustration of thing's seemingly always going wrong. We've had vehicle after vehicle after vehicle break down, 1 had tire issues, our main lawnmowers all were going flat, 1 like 2 mins after being aired up & then we ended up with bully's for neighbors that caused irrigation issue's that caused us not to be able to water most of our property, we have no grass. I've been ready to sell off livestock & move to town (I hate living in the city/town).
As everyone has said take step back & breathe, then have someone else fix the tire.
You guy's are awesome. Prayers are on the wind that it'll get better again soon 🙏 😊❤
Do the tire shops in your area have mobile service trucks that can do farm calls?
We do in our area, they charge mileage and an hourly rate but no stress for me.
Hang in there. Stay safe and enjoy the process of farm, faith and family. You are truly a wonderful and blessed family
Thank you!
Invest in a couple of bead buster tools and make his work a little easier
As my friend and co-worker would say ,”it’s only a test”. Stay strong and God bless.
I've learned the had way, take the tire off and take it to someone who has the equipment to break it down and fix it. I've been there and done it. Like the old song, no when to holden and know when to foldem. Kenny Roger's
Haha yes
GOD BLESS OUR FARMERS, and May God Bless You, give you strength to carry on!!!!!
I have a slide Hammer that I made to get my tractor tire off so I could get them changed, thanks ,at that rate,on that tire you guys should of called the tire shop guy, or take it off and take it to the tire shop inthe truck lol
I quit doing tires in my late 20s. I call the tire place and they send the service truck. There done in 30 minutes and I’m back running.
Sometimes you have to take time to catch your breath whether you have been at it for 5 years or 50. When ya got to you'll know it.
Merideth,,,,,,,,I was in the tire repair bussiness for 30 years. Unless you are a large farmer with the right tools,you are better off to go to the repair shop and don,t waste time trying to fix it yourself. You do need the right tools to get the tire off the rim. It is very easy when you have them,and if you don,t,you can spend alot of time trying to get the tire off.Please do not get stressed out of a very simple task like that. Take it to the people that can do this with the right equipment.Oh ya,,,I do watch you all the time on you tube and facebook. Tell Lawrence that there are some things that other people can do better.He does good but some things are better if you go to the prrofessionals. LESS STRESSFUL ON YOU. Advice from an old man that has been there. good luck to you and the family and God Bless.... Rich,....
Agreed! He agrees too lol. He wishes he’d taken it but now we can’t get it on trailer
I love doing tires, I do all my friends tires for them. I know it sounds crazy but It's just in my blood! It keeps me in good shape no gym fee's 😅
Tires can be most frustrating. I work at a dealership and call the pros. Cheaper and faster. Really hard to deal with unless you have the right tools.
never enough time to do it right but always enough time to do it over
A great example of you sharing your "real." Life is what it is, and all one can do is make the best of it. Have fun at the fair.
Thank you!
Farming at times is frustrating....but keep your chin up,its not all that bad in the end...ive been there many times...stay safe you all
