Giving back. AMEN Brother👊

Thanks for doing these videos, very helpful for new tractor owners. I’ve heard that running your loader at low rpm can damage the hydraulic pump? Not sure if that’s true or not, wondering if you know about that. Thanks. Oh and your digging video was awesome! Loader beats a shovel any day!

I have a BX25D and I just dug a thrench 160' long 6' deep and had to go thru pine tree roots. My bucket is a little over a foot wide and it took me around 8 hours. Had no problems at all . Great machine

I think your box is ungrounded. It looked like the NM wire went directly into the socket and wasn't bonded to the box or face plate. The ground wire from the face plate to the box does nothing to ground anything unless the box is connected to the ground wire in the NM bundle as well. The socket should be completely isolated from box, I don't believe it shares a ground with the socket. You should either tie into the ground from the NM bundle or run a dedicated ground from the box back to the panel/transfer switch and tie into the ground there.

Are you in Ohio?

What a great day's work! You are the energizer bunny. All that done plus filming and editing. Wow.

They were a fair size of boulders which your dump trailer handled with ease 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

What? Usually if someone say if you can fix it then it’s yours. You expect to find a rust bucket in a pool of hydraulic Oil with shared pins and half the motor missing. They actually gave up on that because they couldn’t solder a couple of wires together. Unbelievable.

I like that, pops has a 49'r jacket and an Ohio State hat.

Grease gun????

It’s good you kept those boulders accessible. It sounds weird but there’s been many times I’ve wished I had my large rocks back.

Trailer tires looked a little squat after loaded. Glad the boulders didn't get bound up when getting dumped. "Holy cow that's big" & "oh my goodness that's a load" where have I heard that, oh yeah, that's what she said, lol

Looks a lot better after you cleaned it up and you are getting a lot better at working the excavator 😊

Probably the number one reason country folks HATE mice

I normally have to fix a tool so I can fix a machine so I can move a broken machine to get something behind it out and then I get to do what I needed that machine to do. Needless to say I don't get a lot of stuff done lol

How do you get the air out of the system after changing the hose ? Does it bleed itself automatically ?

The garden is looking very good!!

Hello, it's always fun to see how you organize your property. But putting the lumber directly under the edge of the roof is not a good idea. You have put pallets under the wood, which is very good, but water is constantly coming from above and in large quantities, so you can just throw the wood onto your burning pile more quickly . :) A tarpaulin would preserve the wood for you or another location but then also with a tarpaulin.

Good video! My project is to connect an EcoFlow Delta Pro battery power station for power outage backup to my breaker panel using a transfer switch. Eventually I would want to create a Hybrid power system in which I would get 50-75% of my power from solar. I have identified 10 critical circuits that I can connect to the transfer switch, but in the future I may want to add more circuits. Being that the largest transfer switch on the market only has 10 circuits, is there a way to combine them?

Isn't it funny how to get one thing done can be quite a project. To get to this ya gotta do that & to get to that ya gotta do this & to get to this ya gotta do that & yda,yda yda ! To get an hours work done ya gotta work 4 or 5 hrs. Have a great weekend.

Sam's been watching too many Letsdig18 video's, methinks! Great outcome though!😅 Always amazes me just how versatile those seemingly small excavators can accomplish!

👍👍

Good morning Sam. Yes, don't burn your dad's firewood, lol. Nice job loading those boulders with a gentle touch. That was a lot of weight in the trailer and probably a good thing that you had the load further back so the trailer would dump. Nothing gets the garden growing better than a slow rain day. Have a good one!

It hasn't rained here in a couple of days so maybe I will be able to get out in the garden and yard o do some stuff!!! Water has finally gone down enough I can actually see some more of the yard!! Lol

So you're going to let God sort out the garden... reminds me of the story about the guy out working in his garden. The pastor stops by and says, 'My that's a fine looking garden that you and the Lord have there!' The guy replies, 'Yeah, but you should have seen it last year when I left it up to the Lord to take care of it!' 😂 It does seem like you should be seeing more corn! Hmmmm

As I was growing up in a farming community in North Dakota The old saying was corn had to be “knee high by the 4th of July” or you would not get very good yield. Not sure how delayed your videos are but looks like you might be eating canned corn this year.

The air is so polluted with bad air from industry, cars, CO2... Why do people still burn wood in garden? If there were more people like you which burn everything in garden, we can look for another planet :( Just leave it for the animals, a lot of them can live inside!

How is brother going to move them? Looks like Sam has more “stuff” to do!

Nice video. Watching you and your dad, reminded me of mine. Wish he were here to enjoy the tractor I got a few years ago.

every time i find these deals i fix it then they renig

good job

very awesome work dear

Great video and glad to see when you make an error you own up to it and explain how to fix it, although I wished you would have included a video of the work you actually did to correct the mistake.

You're a good son Sam. You're nuts but you're a good son. 😅

Its not a DIY project until you've made at least a half dozen trips to the hardware store because you didn't get everything the first 5 times you went LOL. I just put a larger sub-panel in my shop a couple months ago. I ran out of breaker space in the tiny 8 space load center....I wanted to split things apart for different zones of the shop, so being able to have the space for the additional breakers was necessary. No additional load on the circuit, just more space to add breakers. Now that I've got everything all broken down into different areas of the shop, I did run a dedicated welding line outside, so now I can hookup my welder to a dedicated 240V circuit...my table saw has its own 240v circuit as well so nothing is shared...Not that I can run multiple machines at once anyhow but I'd rather have stuff on its own dedicated circuit....same with the lights and outlets. 15amp breaker for the lights since they're all LEDs now....and then split the outlets into 4 zones (N, S, E, W), makes it quicker to find an issue if there ever is one, by not having to look at 20+ outlets LOL. I could have been an electrician except I hate crawling around in crawl spaces, insulation, and all that crap. Same with plumbing....neither is very hard, I just hate the crawling around bit LOL.

I’m also a Gen Xer. If you’ll recall back in the day our instructions sucked to the highest level of suck.

Imagine setting up an off-grid solar system and then wiring your entire new home yourself. The wife and I worked like heck to make sure everything was done jusssstttt right and according to the best available information. Since we had a solar shed where our main shutoffs and panel was located, then ran an underground entry cable to the house and wired all of that up, we had to pay close attention to all of the recommended grounding provisions, and there was a LOT of those to deal with. But in the end, we did it and have been going strong for almost two years now, supplying all of our own power without sacrificing anything to do it.

That's a very slick idea.

Just having that dedicated run would have made up my mind TO BUY that house! Someone gave a ratsass!

Just found your channel and been perusing the videos . All was going good then I saw the 49er's jacket. Just kidding, I always enjoy the game when watching the Chiefs beat the 49ers 🤣 Thanks Sam

I'm another DIY kind of guy. It might not always be to code but if it works & doesn't cause any problems it's a win !

stopping the water in the "detent" is fine but should add more rocks on the down stream side. If the detent does flood over the pipe the rock down stream will help it not to erode it away IMO

I'm getting ready to plumb and wire a tankless water heater from my son and daughter -n- law ,and not looking forward to it lol!!

Fabulous! I'm equally excited when I turn the power back on and it doesn't go "Boom!!!"

Good morning Sam. That's how you learn, by doing / trying things. And yes being cautious is important when trying things.

As a licensed electrician in Canada, which has very similar electrical code requirements, I would say you've done an OK job. There is one observation, there are splices within the main distribution, that practice is not permitted in Canada, unless for the purpose of energy conservation. The US code, or the authority having jurisdiction may differ.

Oops. Looks like your white wire was cut short to reach the GFCI breaker. Hate it when things take twice as long as you think they should.

My nephew wired my 'new' garage a couple of years ago, he lives 60 miles away. Everytime he arrived, we made a list of things we were going to need, we always missed something! And you answered a lot of questions when you said it was natural gas. I was thinking that's not nearly enough electric to power a pool heater! And they ran it on an extension cord last year? 😉 Thanks!

I'm not an electrician. I'm also not in the USA, so when you said: "two-wire" I was: "Why?!? You're going through all this trouble, and you're not going to hook up PE / ground?!?", only to see a few minutes later that what you called "two-wire" doesn't have two wires; it has three... It's interesting to see the differences between how countries do things. Over here in the Netherlands GFCI's are mandatory on all breakers (with a few exceptions that rarely apply at residential setups), and our boxes are made of plastic instead of metal. Also, we don't do split phase, it's all 240V single phase or three phase 400v (mainly used for solar inverters, car chargers and stoves, though most stoves use 230V elements on the individual phases). One thing I did learn about the USA though: Neutral and ground are NOT tied together on the bar, they should go on separate bars. At the MAIN breaker panel, you tie the neutral and ground bars together at the designated spot. If you don't have sub-panels it doesn't really matter, but tying them together in a sub-panel makes it so that current flows through the ground wire, which is dangerous.

Been a contractor for years. Hard wear store trips are the normal .!! I have to get better at that as well. !!!
