Hats off to you Grant. I’ve been watching since I was 6 when FS17 came out. I am now almost 13 and crazy how far you have come. My parents have always said “oh that guy won’t do anything than just sit on his computer playing farming simulator all day” and now I show them how far you have come and you have your own farm. Crazy what you can do in 7 years. Hope your harvest went well!
Nice going Grant, great video! Lots of good info there, I appreciate the sharing! Nice buy on the side by side too. I don't want to say how old I am, but when I was a young teen, a farm I helped out on one summer put in lots of clay tile every year for a number of years! This plastic stuff looks much easier and whole lot faster! Thanks for posting!
Keep up the great work grant!! I’ve been watching u since u started all those years ago! I love watching u since I’ve always wanted to be a farmer! Even tho I’m from Texas I have family who farms in Oklahoma and it’s awesome getting to farm with them! I will always be one of your biggest fans!! My parents never believed that RUclipsrs would be anything more than lazy but u have proved them wrong! Thank you for everything!
I was out in your neck of the country over the weekend. Sullivan auction had a sale in Illinois purchased a couple pieces of equipment to bring back to Pennsylvania. Beautiful country out there.
Nice to see more action, watching from snowy Sweden! Merry christmas Grant! 🥳 (in hills, you should have the right gear before the incline and just floor it, downshift make you loose momentum)
At 3:40 or so it looked like RPMs were around 2000 when you were saying you still pulled the hill at 9MPH, I believe that’s pretty good. I can’t remember what the manual says but RPMs can be safely lugged down lower than that.
Awesome Grant, hey use your leg against your drawbar and implement to get your height right. Hold your hand against your jeans where your drawbar on tractor is then set implement to suit.
Amazing job grant so Proud of you and spectacular Spencer also 9:24 Spencer is working on his king fu kicks. Incredible job bud. Love that. I’m sorry about the beans not working out my condolences lol 😂 you could have been rich. dang it
There is a nice JD 8440 down the road for sale, only 4200 hours for $30k. PTO and 20.8 34 tires. Not all beat up or faded. That would be a good addition to your operation.
Great progress on the farm. If I were in your shoes, I'd look at finding a cheap JD 630 disk for field management. Your tuned 8110 would handle it just fine.
You could get Spencer to make a mount to go around the weights so that you can put rocks, toolbox’s, and shovels on it. Could be possibly easier than switching it back and forth.
hey grant if you go corn on corn you really need to think about adding more than just fertilizer, like minerals and other nutrients that the crop needs that being said im confident you can make a good crop with tile and just a pass with the disc in the fall if the planter can handle it
@granthilbert, hey if you don’t mind me asking, which I apologize beforehand, (not sure the story on your rented ground,) was the field previously in brome grass pasture? Before you started farming it?
Grant, you are doing a great job starting your farm. I was told the only thing wrong with farming is you only get 50 chances to get it right. Lol wondering what camera you use for your channel, looking to start my own farming channel. Thanks for any information.
Figured the beans probably did not turn out good when you didnt show that field during harvest. We had something similar happen to us like that several years ago when we tried it. Got 1st cutting of hay off an alfalfa field then hit it with roundup and no tilled beans in late June. Drought hit and they got hardly any rain that summer and looked a lot like yours. Just turned cows out on them to graze after frost kill and tore the field up in the spring. Late or 2nd crops like that are a buzzkill if you don't get some timely rains shortly after planting.
on the military truck problems starting in cool weather could be a couple things most likely it is poor compression. This happens just from general wear and tear. One of the things to look for is if you are getting a lot of blow by out of the blow by tube if you are this motor is probably on borrowed time which means you would need to do an engine rebuild to solve the problem. The other issue that it could be is an issue with the diesel injector pump on the side of the motor. If it is due to blow by and you were using a lot of oil then it’s possible that your rings are bad which would also result in an engine rebuild . Now some engines are able to be rebuilt and some are not if the motor does not have sleeves in it or liners as they are known then it is not a motor that can be rebuilt if that is the case you just have to cut your losses when it blows and you would be looking at getting a new motor to keep using it
You guys need to get ahold of farming fixing and fabricating to see if they would help Spencer set the army truck up with a dump box. They do everything hydrolics and the lift and the box. They have some great videos with him explaining everything and why they do things the way they do. The set them up so they can slide on and off. You could make a bed for toolboxes. Just about anything.
You got it! 1. As soon as ground's thawed usually starting to look at planting. 2. Most importantly it's usually wetter in the spring, and by tiling in the fall we get a freeze/frost cycle that allows the tile/soil to work better once the frost is out. 3. We do a lot of compaction while installing tile. The frost right after helps get rid of a lot of the compaction.
I actually had an article pop up in my newsfeed about Grant the other day, and he doesn't even cover half of the work he did just to get to this point. I finished the article with a great deal more respect than I already had, and I already thought this kid's gonna excel. I think "quit" is a verb he fundamentally doesn't understand.
I'm actually a teacher. Thank you for correcting my comment. In an environment which should be an area of free speech. Much appreciated. "Quit" used flippantly as a term to express Grants delay between his current and most recent post. Happy holidays, or merry Christmas 😉
@@boskone read your original comment. Social media can be both a positive and negative platform. It's how comments are both constructed and interpreted. Grant is doing an awesome job, just a delay between posts that was the reference and inference Happy holidays, happy Christmas
I would have done one pass to breakup the sod just so you have better water soaking than done a early spring trip to rough it up and get early grass and early grass will and weeds will grow and then right before planting hit again if weeds are growing good or spray and plant less soil erosion winter will breakup most of what the disk left
There is a auction 22329 Chandlerville Road, Chandlerville, IL. No idea how far from you. I bet those 500p bins with floors will go under $300 each. Simple to move. Get a +24’ trailer, bin jacks, some lumber impact wrenches. Take bottom 3 rings, brace, set on trailer, drive it home.
Hey Grant. I was just wondering what map from fs22 you reckon that I could do some similar things to you? Preferably all platforms, as I play on PS4. Also, I LOVE YOUR VIDOES!!!!!!!!!
I exited a little bit of my bitcoin position in Feb 2021 and bought a Farm. In Feb 2021 there was way too much excitement in BTC. Bitcoin's very cyclical. Times just like these during 2018 bear market is what allowed me to enter into a position at $3,000-$5,000. This is the same exact scenario- everyone think it's dead, no one is interested, I'm not getting friends asking if they should buy etc...! Nothing has changed in the protocol, hashrate is still very good, and there's an insane amount of development on the lightning network. Because of BTC's cyclical nature I've added to my bitcoin position over the last months and will be adding more into early 2023. There's definitely a chance I'm wrong. I position size accordingly. Just for fun, let's screenshot this and come back in Late 2024/2025! 🤝
False. If we were to compare definition of ponzie schemes to most CENTRALIZED Fiat currencys we have today bitcoin would be one of the least ponzi like. Bitcoin was created in 2009. Satoshi posted on a forum that anyone could participate in the network if they would like. No one was forced. No one is promised anything. And most importantly, no one has to trust a CENTRALIZED party. You can verify yourself. Arguably Bitcoin's more American than the Dollar (in my opinion if American is based on Freedom & Capitalism) Ask yourself what happens if all user's of today's fiat currencys pull money out of banks for cash? Ask you-self how do you know you have money in the bank? Is it because you have a centralized bank that say's you do? Ask yourself how you transfer money to your buddy in Australia- do you go to the bank and ask for permission to transfer money? Ask yourself how do you keep your money from getting dublicated? Do you beg the FED to stop Quantitative Easing? Ask yourself if you own farmland/real-estate how do you know that you own that farm? Do you check the Centralized platbook- what if those people want to take your farm? Do you actually own it? Ask yourself what happens when Central Bank Digital Currencys you're a 65 year old (hypothetical) with too much wealth, and some politicians believe you need to pay a higher sales tax when purchasing items with digital currency. Or your eating too much fast food that week and are not allowed to purchase Mcdonalds for the 4th time that week? Do you see a world in which DECENTRALIZED GLOBAL payments network could have some value across the world? Even if it's just insurance?

Awesome videos Grant! I love watching them as they keep me inspired as I’m going through the trails and tribulations of a first gen farmer.
I was out in your neck of the country over the weekend. Sullivan auction had a sale in Illinois purchased a couple pieces of equipment to bring back to Pennsylvania. Beautiful country out there.
glad to see your latest upload, it was a "minute" from your last vid! Happy Holidays to you and Spencer !!
😂😂 Will be getting the next one out a lil faster!!
thanks for the update Grant cannot wait for your next video to come
Been watching since the begging of fs19. Seems crazy that you are about to start your 3rd season of farming
Keep those videos coming more often, love watching your progress!!
Great video Grant! You guys are doing fantastic!
Nice to see more action, watching from snowy Sweden! Merry christmas Grant! 🥳 (in hills, you should have the right gear before the incline and just floor it, downshift make you loose momentum)
I really enjoy the work ethic you guys display plus the joy of learning thing that makes your farm better-Happy New Year!
Love watching you!
Man ive watch you for years, can't believe it's been 6 years
I’ve been watching you since fs17 and this is pretty cool how far you’ve come hats off to you.

Dude I’ve been watching you gaming channel since 2018 and I never thought you’d actually have a REAL farm! So cool to see how far you’ve come.
been waiting for ages Grant! Awesome video! 👊
Really making some head way Grant.
Great video Grant from Bryer Floyd and merry Christmas and god bless

Love the videos Grant! Living the dream
I hope you and your family nice christmas and a happy new years :)
Merry (early) christmas, Grant. 🤗
Tough luck on those beans. At least you had insurance to cover the seeds
Hey grant I wanna know what year your tractor is and can I still find one around
Even if you didn't make any money this year at least you had a lot of fun with your brother and dad.
Man I'm excited to see how that tile works out for ya next year.
I can't wait!!
No Deere sidebyside???no just Kidding!Honda is the secondbest anyway!😍Power Of Dreams!:)
hey grant if you go corn on corn you really need to think about adding more than just fertilizer, like minerals and other nutrients that the crop needs
that being said im confident you can make a good crop with tile and just a pass with the disc in the fall if the planter can handle it
To make the side by side road legal you need to put a slow moving triangle on it to be road legal
I wish you Spence and your parents a merry Christmas
I would like a video about your future plans. Bring us on to this journey.
Awesome video thanks for sharing

What new equipment you getting next
Just a question when is your farming game coming out
Grant I know this doesn't relate to farming but are you going to post snowmobiling vids
What da? I didn't know harvest was still happening anywhere. Good job. Hopefully everything is OK
I’m guessing this was from about a month ago, look there’s still leaves on some trees there

Why tile in winter? Do your crop plans not leave enough time when the soil's thawed?

Same to you!! 🤘
when does american farming going to come out?
Late 2022. At least from what I’ve seen. If you watched his live stream he also said it would be around the $6 Mark or lower.
Not 2022, will be in 2023. Have not said exact date, and the game will be under $10. Not sure on exact price yet👍
@@granthilbert5632 sorry I apologize. I must’ve seen an old Insta post instead of the new ones sorry.

Love your videos man I hope I can be a dairy farmer one day
There has to be a long delay between videos. What is the actual day you finished !
October 25th! I'm catching up on vids tho! Next one will be this weekend or next week!
Why don’t you put a gate on the army truck and you’s it as a grain truck
You should put corn in the army truck bed next year
Not sure if it would not burn the clutch on that hill if he did.
Might not hurt to hurt to put a little bit of of weight on the truck
Looking good how's your dad doing
Heck yeah !!
Doo you still have the snowmobilles
That's awesome 👌
Grant where is stevo from squad farms is he ok
We need more snowmobile videos
I agree, I love the sled videos
Came strait from the new fs vid
Same
Many years of crp, why would you go in and till it?
Why not keep the soil structure and keep no tilling?
I bet they still won’t buy a second tractor for tillage.
Hmmmm maybe! For the Farming Operation- Land and Tile First!! Equipment 2nd!!
🤠
Where’s uncle Buck?
Next Vid!
Why not put grain in the bed of the army truck
Woa did he say 200-230 bc/a
It was worse than that on that farm due to being wet early. Only a few good drain spots were averaging that👍
@@granthilbert5632 I mean still that's pretty good even if only in a few spots!
Squad I am a 13 year old kid that loves farming I know how to weld and drive equipment
