Our New Massey Ferguson Tractor | Putting it to good use // V1E14

- We decided to bite the bullet and buy a tractor. There is so much work around the property that we can do with it and save a bit of money by not having to hire out. So far, it has come in handy with all the back-filling and grading that we are having to do now that the infrastructure is done. We couldn't be happier with our Massey Ferguson 2850 tractor.
We've also hit a stump in running electrical to the spring house, so we're having to work on other things. We cleaned up the pole barn to prepare to move in, made several attempts at pulling wire through the conduit to run to the pole barn and fixed a sewer pipe that Daniel broke while using the tractor.
As always, we appreciate all your support!

You will absolutely love that masssey! I purchased a 2860M massey last winter for snow removal, small farm work, and dirt work! you wont regret!
That is awesome! We are very happy with our purchase 😊
@@PurpleNovember My 2860M has 125 hours on it and hasnt given me any problems
You guys "Struck it Rich" with that "Cadillac " Massey-Ferguson 2850 power-shuttle. Have the baby version 1736M premium power-shuttle, it is a "Cadillac " compaired my other 4 rigs. Bought it over a kubota L3901 ,( a dinosaur) for the same price. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
I bought 1825-E this past summer , I had a 3rd function & Grapple added , what a great little tractor they are
I have a 2706 … its a beast! I love it!
Watching this makes me feel like I've also bought a ranch and building it with you guys. Feels so relaxing watching these videos after work.
Very nice to hear! Glad you are enjoying the videos
Massey is a good machine, I have a '73 165 and it still works great
Really like your new tractor. I have been a long time Massey owner and have had great luck with them. Good luck with yours.
Happy to hear. Thank you! 😊
I'm sure that was a big relief when that wire finally came through the pipe. Looking great guys and and can't wait till the next one.
It sure was!!
Excellent move getting a tractor. This morning I drove to my neighbor's house to use their phone (Landline phone is the pits in this county.) and as I started to go, I noticed they had hired some kid to move a pile of delivered gravel using a shovel and he was not a good worker. This couple was in their 80's. I thought to myself, they could have asked me and I could have moved the entire pile in a few minutes with my 19 hp Ford diesel with a bucket that I have built roads, drainage ditches, brought in firewood. Getting your tractor will be the most important decision on your experience. At my age arthritis slows me down but with my backhoe attachment I have nothing more to do. But really, you will never run out of work to do.
Ha, that's a nice Tractor, Tym also have some great Tractors as well, enjoy ur Fram enjoy and be Blessed always
The progress you’ve made this summer has been fantastic! Infrastructure mostly installed, pole barn is up and now the tractor. You guys are in great shape going into fall and will be pretty well set for handling the winter. That enclosed cab will be worth every penny when you’re cleaning snow. Well done guys!
Our main goal is to be ready for winter 😉 We’re almost there! Thank you
Loved the praying mantis🙏
We built our barn first and lived in it for 2 years while building the house. Living room, bedroom and bathroom. Bought a fema trailer and sat it on the slab for the kitchen. Put the tires back on and sold it when we finished the house.
Y’all are continually making progress! Congratulations on the new tractor. Once you buy one, you wander how you every did without one. God Bless
Thank you 😊
Love my Massey, I had a GC2600 and it had 6000 hrs on it and when I sold it I still got $8000. You guys made a good choice.
That's awesome! Glad to hear
Very nice tractor...both of you have done so much work...looking really good.
We are very happy with it 😊
Great buy on the tractor. That cab will be nice in the winter snow and winds. All of the property looks really good after your grading. Well done. Sunday night 720PM--Cowboy time!!
Thank you 😊 Go Cowboys!
First time you need to plow snow you'll be glad you have the closed cab.
For sure!
Nice tractor , always listen to your boss , you wont regret getting the cab ,AC and no bugs in the summer and head in the winter.
great vid ,so happy for you two, nice pole barn
Thanks 👍 Glad you enjoyed it.
Keep it up! My wife and I watched every episode. Learning a lot about this whole process. We're saving up for a piece of land to start our homestead as well !
Glad you are enjoying it and finding it resourceful! Best wishes to you two
AWESOME!!! 👍👍
Storybook life, so awesome!
Great video
You've come such a long way, I'm so happy for you both!
Thank you so much 😊
You guys are humming along, and it's great to see the new farm equipment. You will really be getting more stuff done faster now.
Thanks! 😊
Congratulations!!! You'll be satisfied with your purchase.
Thank you! We've heard nothing but good things about Massey Ferguson!
The cab is mandatory for comfort and safety. Wait till you break a window. When you blow yellow jackets out of the air filter you will kiss the glass. A hydraulic top link for the 3 pt is wonderful for box blade and hooking up. Next implement is a grader blade. Unless you have run one you have no idea you want it
Really pretty place guys. Your hard work is paying off. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Impressive!!! Nice work you two 😎👍🇺🇸
Thank you 😊
U guys doing an awesome job 👍
Thank you 😊
you guys done really well, you got the tractor at a great price certainly wouldn't have done so well here in Ireland
Thanks. We feel like we did
Looking really good, guys! Making me want a pole barn too :).
Thanks so much!
Congratulations on the tractor!
Thank you 😊
👍👍👍👍👍, Nice tractor purchase. The property looks GREAT !!!!!!
Thank you
I enjoyed your video, it sounds like y’all are on a great adventure. Good luck.
Thanks so much!
Living the dream. Lots of work but I bet you guys are enjoying the hell out of it seeing it all come together.
We sure are!

Nice tractor! We went with the Kubota M60 about three years ago. Very similar but we got one with no cab. Also a lot of the same implements, brush chopper/mower, front loader, post hole auger, disc and a scraper.
The Kubota tractor is very nice!
You both look great... congrats on tractor...
Thank you 😊
We just picked up our first tractor. Massey was on our list, but we settled on a Yanmar model. Father in-law helped guide us and has always said you pay extra for that green paint 😎.
Hope to see you in Sandpoint for the Panhandle Overland Rally September 23rd!
We plan on going, hopefully nothing gets in the way with us taking off for the weekend
Congratulations on your beautiful addition. Great investment. You two are doing a great job. I'm enjoying watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Jessica! 😊
Hey DANIEL, good buy. the two things I recommended to my other buddies who moved to Idaho on 10 acres was a 84 inch wide skip loader with an enclosed cab like you got and a dump trailer. I’m not sure if you have a dump trailer or not but that’s some thing I think you will need at some point unless you have a neighbor that you can share services with. Congratulations you can drive it anywhere on your property and use it as a third or fourth person. Great great buy!!
Thank you! We are very happy with it so far 😊
smart choice I have a 4052JD and had it back to the dealer 4 to 5 times for the loader and it still is not right my 870 Jd could lift almost as much, that was 28 hp my 4052 is 52 hp
Watching you struggle with pulling the main line to the barn through the conduit had me thinking of a fix I came up with doing the same thing at work. I made a point on the end of the wire by cutting the wire at a very steep angle and smoothly taping over it, securing it to the pull rope. This took away the "catch" that snagging on a joint in the conduit. Keep this in mind if you need to pull more line through.
Thanks for the pointer 👍🏽
That’s quite a bit of tractor. I went with a Kioti based on price. Happens to be the closest dealer as well. With gravel roads, snow, General moving things around point A to point B etc. You may have the dead drop bucket..I just press forward on the bucket as though I’m lowering it and it drops without hydro. I tilt the bucket down and back up scraping that way too..I can rent one for more than the price I pay a month. Massey was my next choice.. though I was listening to “Deadwood” music for a second..lol
Bought the same model a year ago (traded in an 1835m open station). My Real life lifting experience with the loader is about 1800-1900lb with a set of forks with weight on a pallet. Had very good luck with it once the front cylinder hose that was leaking was replaced. I replaced the work lights with LED's (made my own brackets for them). Why they don't installed them factory installed, not sure. Mine is a hydro model (which I love). Attachments can get addicting. Love mine also.
If you find yourself in that predicament again trying to get the wire through they make a lubricant to help the wire slide.
Ahh, good to know. Thanks 😊
Your neighbors “them with all their California money and their new stuff”. 😂🤣😂 we got the stink eye when we came to Utah. Congrats on the acquisition.
I hope that’s not what they think 😅
😊👍
Looking good guys! Bet you wish you would have purchased that tractor when you started the project! Hindsight is always 20/20. The next thing you know is you got a bull dozer, and then your own construction company! It all starts with the little tractor!! LOL!!
LOL...It's all good! You never know what the future holds 😊
Hey since your from “ Down South”. (Learned not to say California quickly to avoid stink eye) let me advise you. If you have a frost line there make sure you install freeze proof fawcetts and spigots in pole barn. Those cool farm looking red farm style spigots have a purpose. Study up on them. Don’t buy cheap ones. Buy name brand so you can rebuild them. Also your hos3 will freeze, reason for inside spigots. All stuff I learned.
You will want a closed cab in the snow lol
Great videos, I have the same tractor and was wandering the width and brand on ur snow blade
That pipe is NOWHERE near deep enough into the ground . City boy farmin at it's finest roflmao
Congrats on new tractor I almost bought a massey went with branson 3015r
Thanks 👍
They went strait to the top with the Massey-Ferguson 2850 cab power shuttle shift transmission. I have one ; kind of big and am looking at the branson 25-35 15r series for a handy fill-in work; it will be # 5. Best wishes with the 3015.
You guys are knocking it out of the park! Love the Cowboys flag by the way! God Speed to you both!!
Thank you 😊 Go Cowboys!
I saw the front wheel rolled a bit with power applied. Is the tractor 4 wheel drive? The tractor with accessories is a good decision on the homestead!
Yes! It’s 4 wheel drive
Nice progress. Any idea when you'll get to start the apartment inside the polebarn ?
We’ll be starting very soon.
@@YouMeandtheFencePost I look forward to watching you build it. 😁
Crush rock ha it's looking good, so are u going to used Crush rock around the building?
This is the best show in town!
Woo Hoo! Two questions:
What are your arrangements for tractor fuel? And second, will you have full-hookups for the trailer in the pole barn? BTW, someone may correct me but I think if you are primarily growing crops (which I don't think you are) it's a farm. Otherwise cattle and livestock it is a ranch. Growing a garden notwithstanding.
Thank you so much 😊
When we go into town we fill up fuel cans as needed. Yes! We’ll have full hookups, but we’ll probably continue to fill the tank with water instead of keeping the hose connected
That drain pipe is going to freeze in the winter being that shallow in the ground😊
It doesn't hold standing water, so it won't be an issue 😉
Go COWBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like this channel❤️, earned you a subscribe!
Thank you so much!
So I started my sentence with SO
Wow what is next where’s the chicken coop going lol 😂 and no cows 🐄.
We are not ready for animals yet. We have no structure for them and we need to mend some fences
@@YouMeandtheFencePost I am not sure that y'all are not ready there is nothing y'all have not been able to do.......... LOL
With that much acreage you need a tractor.
For sure!
Looking for Massey dealer closer to Sandpoint
I don’t know of any, sorry
We have a pole barn going up next week to include concrete and the same size as yours 40'x50' our concrete pour is 4" how long were you advised to wait until you pulled in your trailer? I have been reading up a lot on that and also wanted your input. I know there are a lot of factors like location and temperature/weather and so on. You guys are doing great we are in the same boat leaving Murrieta, California last year and have been working our 10 acres and living in our RV ever since can't wait for the pole barn it's going to be nice to get inside with the RV.
We were told to wait 14 days. Best wishes on your build
Your tractor is pretty, but your wife is prettier!!😍
What are we buying today.
The barn looks great with that glorious American Flag but then you go and ruin it with the Dallas Cowboys banner. Uggh. 😉
They’re America’s team…the two go hand in hand 😉
Bingo! Now your cooking with gas!
Massey Ferguson has a great reputation.
🙌🏽
So are you guys actually building a house or are you just living in an adult fun park.
We’ll be building a house starting next spring
@@YouMeandtheFencePost I am looking forward to the videos. My wife and I have the same dream, to build our own home someday. You guys are awesome
You're get tired of spending money just about the same time you'll be too old to look after the place.
Cab's are highly overrated . You should have stayed with the open cab .
Yeah,…for you.
