You are doing such a great job that I can't believe someone would comment about snow removal. It is you place and you should do what you want. If they don't like it just shut up, their are so many negative people in the world it is terrible. Keep up the good work.
Evan, Rebecca and all the creatures . We watch your channel religiously daily from New Zealand. We will say we have enjoyed the stuff ups you make and the sudden appearance of new equipment from the auction houses . Keep it up we love what your doing.
Don't understand people that always have to criticize. If you don't like way your doing something than move on. Looks really nice! Been crazy cold here in northern Indiana.
Agree. I had an animal (not a bull 😊) losing hair. Vet said my NEW normal looking one was an asymptomatic carrier that had brought the fungus/bacteria in. Had to treat them both to clear it up. You might want to quarantine from your other cattle since you are not currently treating them.
Great Video, your logs stacked in front of your home really looks nice, picture perfect ! That cat is funny , steals the camera.. Stay warm and continued Success with your improvements....
Thanks Evan and Rebecca for sharing with us, sure hope the rented bull gets okay and doesn't pass anything around to your animals. Will love seeing the steel racks set up and the metal off the floor and out of your road. Keep up the fine snow plowing around your place, you have the right frame of mind on plowing, don't let it lay there and build up. Stay safe and keep up the fun you all have around there and with the animals. Fred and family.
I am so happy to hear you tell people that you will plow snow and design your shop like you want not like they tell you to do it people don't know when to keep there opinion to themselves.😈
Seems like you are getting a little irritated with some dumb suggestions. I am a 73 year old man and have experienced a lot of things in my life and I am going to give the best advice you ever heard - DO IT YOUR WAY!!. I have watched your channel for a long time and you have never claimed to be an expert at anything and most of the things you have done were the first time for you. You have made a few mistakes here and there but you quickly recovered. You have demonstrated your resourcefulness over and over again and I have always been thoroughly impressed with the way that you and Rebecca do things. She is one tough little girl. I don't know how anybody could watch your channel for any length of time and still think that you need their lame advice. I watch your channel to see what you do not to see you do what I would do. God bless you and Rebecca and have a great New Year. Art Melissa & Joshua from Ohio
Hi Art, nice to see you on this channel. Your " practically neighbor " from Medina. We met on @EngelsCoachShop channel 😊 Hope you and your family doing well 🙏🥂
Interesting comment I totally agree with you. With me there have been a few times where I thought I should add my $0.02 worth. But then I waited and one way or another he figured it out all on his own without me opening my big mouth. I frequently underestimate him but that's my fault.
I am always a little jealous of all of your talents. Through do-it-yourself projects are a great for those that already have certain talents available but are not doable by those that don't have this knowledge or talent, and you can always learn but at some point it's too late.
It’s never too late. I am 69 and plan on learning to weld. I was in my late 50’s when i learned to tile floors. 40s i was learning rough carpentry, teens and twenties, cabinetmaking. I still do all of the above.
@@cathiwim Okay I admire you too. I'm about your age but my hard life is taking this toll upon my body and medical conditions kind of force me to be less active And I never imagined I'd beat this limited at my age but here I am. My father was an excellent woodworker and Carpenter, and I learned a lot from him. Though he was a dairy farmer. I took college level metallurgy and learned how to weld better. That got me a job at Trek bicycle, and I ended up building carbon fiber bikes for Lance Armstrong.
Just a heads up, as light as the log splitter is on the front end, u need a way to keep the front end from coming off the ground, however you find best
You are doing it right. If you clean the snow, you won't have a ruff drive when it freezes again. Then it is like driving on boulders. You do what you want. Its your property. Nice to see Rebecca helping you. She is a keeper!
There is absolutely no way Id plow that much amount of snow. That being said, sometimes as a man you just have to do things for you weather they make sense to others or not. I looks good! Great video as always!
You make my day when I see a new video and I’m a 70 year old lady. Good job! That weather reminds me of when we were stationed at Offutt AFB in Nebraska for 10 years. Seriously cold there.
We had negative temps here in So MN, but that's to be expected here. For you to have that cold, I would think is a bit harsh. Sorry if we sent it your way. People are such putz's and arm chair quarterback experts. Yes there are times when you do things a bit different than I would. But I'll be damned if I'm going to get on here and criticize you for it. And the end of the day, it's your home, your farm and most of all your life. So do what makes you sleep at night. Just watch out for Rebekah! Love you guys. Stay warm.
Thanks Evan and Rebecca for sharing your thoughts, experience and knowledge as you work your homestead/farm. What you do on your property is definitely your choice and prerogative. Staying safe and healthy is most important as you raise all your animals. I like your channel format as you endeavor to protect all your animals and manage the projects you endeavor to accomplish. Prayers and blessings ☝🙏🙌💪for your journey to grow all your animals, property and projects for 2025.
On the last episode of Arm's family homestead he was using a vertical wood splitter with a nice size table on the side and a foot pedal to control the splitting.
My blade has old cultivator gauge wheels welded to the back of the moldboard. I can adjust the depth with a pin on each wheel. But now I have switched to a snowblower, and I can relocate the gravel from my driveway to my lawn at a much higher velocity !
You really dialed that blade in to work like a real snow plow. Great job, you certainly learned what you need to for a great outcome! Big pat on the back from me. I know that’s not much but I appreciate your efforts! Love Rebecca and the calico segment, would make some great stills right there…too cute. As always your farm looks so iconic all dressed up in snow. I would love to see shots of the pond, your tractor trails and perhaps a long view of your entry way to your house as an artistic endeavor and I am sure they would make beautiful wall art inside your home and perhaps even digital prints for us to purchase for our homes. Just a thought, you have the camera equipment to do it justice. Any way, thank you for a wonderful episode, glad you are all okay. I am sure Tyrone will be better in no time. Does your pond freeze up enough to ice skate on it? Wow! That would be super cool! WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!!! Framing in the work barn before Rebecca’s custom shelving project????? Ooooohh! Are you sure you want that? Just a thought, I am pretty sure Rebecca is a flexible kind of gal, however…you fill in the blanks😉
Don't you just love people giving you such good advice lmao. Snow left there on driveway would melt and refreeze. Them you have big icy ruts . And the wood rack you have on deck is Perfect ,looks good , way better than those totes would ever. You Got this. Good Job,, Both you and Rebecca have a great channel Thank you both from Vancouver Island
I'm a good member of the church when their mower breaks down and I get to get them caught up. With that quick tach front end loader you need to put a front end snow plow. You can pick up one reasonable and you have the welding talent.
I agree with you Evan, move that snow while it's still plowable. With lower temps coming, it will ice up and be too tough to move and make for a rough driveway to drive on with the frozen ruts.
I have a rear blade similar to yours but mount the blade about 2 feet off center which extends 2 feet beyond the rear tractor tire. Considering the weight of your tractor it might allow you to push back the side wall of the snow build up without driving on the snow. Works good for me widening my driveway. The 3 point stabilizers may make it possible to push the blade to one side. My blade is an old Ford blade that you can offset the blade in either direction. Just a thought.
I wouldn’t want a tote on my front porch either. Metal racks will be a great asset. Maybe consider another propane heater for the front shop only to be used when needed? Might make your work flow a bit more consistent or at least not so weather dependent.
It always amazes me how you carry on as normal when it snows, I live on the Isle of Wight UK & we've only got to have a couple of centimetres of snow & everything stops, cars, buses, trains & even boats. We're just not used to it. Thanks for your videos
In the winter cattle can get an infestation of bloodsucking Lice that will itch and make them rub on fence posts, etc. so hopefully those treatments are good for Lice and Mites.
I like your set up for managing your metal. I have a blacksmith shop and my extra metal is always in the way. I am excited to see how your metal rack turns out. I just built a new blacksmith shop and really would like this new shop to be tidy and be able to find what I need in my metal stacks.
I have the same type of log splitter you have and one thing I changed out right away was a trailer crank with a wheel (preferably a dual wheel) on that splitter to save your back . I’ll be watching what you do to your table on the splitter . for my plan is to move that small table to the operater side and weld up a longer table to reach out over part of the engine and weld a raised lip around the perimeter of the table for the firewood not to vibrate off . I try to use the bucket of my tractor with rounds in it to help roll onto splitter table . Great video and I’m going to try my blade on the tractor tomorrow like your doing. I always use a blower but with gravel it’s hard listening to that gravel spitting out of the shoot . I hope your rental bull gets better .
I made a wooden base with 6” caster wheels and put the whole tote in my garage. I only keep it in there during the heating season. It works great for me.
Was just reading some comments. Boy you do get a lot of advice. Keep doing what you have been doing. I'll keep watching. Thanks for the ride my friend.
Thank you for the update. The metal projects are good for a cold winter day(s). Sorry about Tyrone, it happens. Cali? well what can I say, she's a goof ball.
People need to understand, when you plow the driveway, it help in the melting process, getting rid of excess moisture, so you don’t get a muddy driveway.
I retired down to west Tennessee end of last year from northern Illinois figuring I wouldn't see much snow anymore. We just got about 8".. Most snow in 10 years. LOL
I'm with you when it comes to snow clean up. This past week we got like 26" in 4 days. Right now my driveway is clean asphalt! I'll clean it up every inch if I have to.
Doing great there Evan. Always negative folks posting and you should just get to where you ignore them. That said I watched you pushing with the bucket near the porch and said to myself, I sure hope he is watching that tail swing on the scraper out back. Isn't winter wonderful for catching up on indoor projects? Have a good one you two.
Please pay no attention to the complainers and those who want to critique your every project. My wife and I love your creativity and your willingness to learn! Blessings
Those solar panels are worthless as teats on a 🐗 boar hawg, covered in all that ❄ snow and ice...but I'm sure they work great in the🎶 Summertime when living is easy...catfish are jumping...and the cotton is high 🎵 I could not live in all that snow and ice..dont know how folks deal with it...cold weather training in the military was enough to last me a lifetime... my hats off to ya pal. 🤠
Evan, I’m glad you finally figured you can’t please everyone that watches your videos! Doing things the way you want them done is what is best for you and Rebekah! If viewers watch, they may learn a better way to do things themselves. I love the farmstead. Watching you since you began I can see how far you have come and how good and improved the property looks. Your solar work is bar none some of the best I’ve seen! Great job on working on continued improvements! Peace! Thanks for sharing!
The area that isn’t heated to paint in, maybe try installing one of those Chinese diesel heaters. I have 2 and they are absolutely awesome and sip the diesel.
Evan, so many people see all of the high dollar log splitters on youtube and think everyone should have one. They are great for firewood dealers but my yellow box store splitter works just fine to provide firewood for personal use. Glad to see you making upgrades to your splitter. I may be able to learn from your project to make changes to mine. Thanks for sharing your homestead projects with us.
Removing even a small amount of snow makes it safer to walk, the sun will melt the remaining snow quicker plus it looks neater. I hope the cat didn’t hurt Rebecca too bad…watch out for “Cat Scratch Fever!” 🤣
I would get AV plow for the frontier.That you can go straight.Curve it off to the side or go v.Plow.You can find used once pretty reasonable and you can get them up to anything from 7 to 9 feet wide
I used a piece of 6" cutting edge layed flat under the blade cutting edge. Fasten with a removeable device of your design. Works much better than a pipe.... ask me how I know. Plowed snow commercially for 40+ years. Cutting edge is AR (abrasion resistant) steel. The road or gravel won't be a problem. Great channel!
We have a long farm lane as well. If I don't keep it clean it is just more snow to melt. just enough to freeze that night before it melts down to the gravel and make a real mess. Now instead of packed snow with a little bit of traction, we get a sheet of ice. Some viewers that don't have a long lane or are used to a lot more snow probably see things differently, but I am with you... trying to keep it clean is often better.
Hi there I think your doing a great job with people saying do it this way I bet they wouldn't do it if people said it to them it's your farm so u do it your way at the end of the day.x
Here is my thinking on the snow plowing. It snows 3 inchs of snow. You plow your drive way area. Its snows that night another 3 inchs. So now you have 6 inch on the ground but only 3 on the drive way. I would think 3 inchs is a lot easier to plow than 6 inchs.
I am usually all about keeping my driveway clear down to the asphalt until it gets to -15C or so, then I don't mind a little snow on the driveway as much.
I agree with you, the house looks real pretty and don't need a tote of firewood sitting on the front porch.
The wood firewood rack is much better looking than the metal tote
Always enjoy your videos. Remember, everyone has an opinion regardless if you want to hear it or not. Keep the shows a coming.
It’s your farm do as you wish and don’t listen to them. I like watching you plow, it’s looks good.
You are doing such a great job that I can't believe someone would comment about snow removal. It is you place and you should do what you want. If they don't like it just shut up, their are so many negative people in the world it is terrible. Keep up the good work.

Evan and Rebecca we enjoy your videos. I have seen the drawing and materials for the bookshelf. Stay warm have a great week.
Being from MN…agree with you on snow removal. A clean yard is a workable yard.
You can admit plowing the snow is fun!
Any tractor work is fun!
From old white haired farmer. You should treat young bull being they came from same farm.
Agree. I had an animal (not a bull 😊) losing hair. Vet said my NEW normal looking one was an asymptomatic carrier that had brought the fungus/bacteria in. Had to treat them both to clear it up.
You might want to quarantine from your other cattle since you are not currently treating them.
Wise words.
Great Video, your logs stacked in front of your home really looks nice, picture perfect ! That cat is funny , steals the camera.. Stay warm and continued Success with your improvements....
I hope Tyrone is ok and getting better. Love watching ❤.
Good idea to keep it cleaned up....:) You never know how much more ❄️ you'll get❤
I plowed less than 3” of snow this morning mainly because we’re headed to subzero temperatures and when it does get warmer it will melt a lot faster.
Thanks Evan and Rebecca for sharing with us, sure hope the rented bull gets okay and doesn't pass anything around to your animals. Will love seeing the steel racks set up and the metal off the floor and out of your road.

Hi from Texas, Jesus bless and keep you both safe, healthy and happy, love watching you guys
I enjoyed watching the plowing. Getting it all nice and neat.
Great video Evan and Rebekah
My 3 point blade has adjustable skids/feet on the back. I can set it so it doesn't move the gravel.
Evan, Good video. Your driveway looks great.
Nice storage project.
Just a heads up, as light as the log splitter is on the front end, u need a way to keep the front end from coming off the ground, however you find best
Thank you 🙏🏻. Always enjoy your content!
All is great keep doing what ya want to do love ur vedios

By the way, looks like you folks are doing a great job on your acres.
I agree with you Evan, move that snow while it's still plowable. With lower temps coming, it will ice up and be too tough to move and make for a rough driveway to drive on with the frozen ruts.
I clean my driveway even after a dusting, packed snow turns to ice. I hate driving on ice
I have a rear blade similar to yours but mount the blade about 2 feet off center which extends 2 feet beyond the rear tractor tire.

Who doesn’t love playing in snow?! Plow away my friend! 😂
Plow it and makes it melt faster and looks better. You’re doing a great job brother. Enjoy this very much.
Thanks Evan.
It's good for alot of things even humans.
I wouldn’t want a tote on my front porch either. Metal racks will be a great asset. Maybe consider another propane heater for the front shop only to be used when needed? Might make your work flow a bit more consistent or at least not so weather dependent.
It always amazes me how you carry on as normal when it snows, I live on the Isle of Wight UK & we've only got to have a couple of centimetres of snow & everything stops, cars, buses, trains & even boats. We're just not used to it. Thanks for your videos
Do all the plowing you want because we don’t see it from our house. (Big hello from Rotonda West Florida) looks cold but beautiful.
Yep, at 12:50 kitty making biscuits.👍😊
Calico loves her humans.
Yes , hope you All doing ok
If you clean your driveway and leave some dark spots like gravel then sun come out it will melt the snow quickly!🧑🏻🌾🇨🇦
In the winter cattle can get an infestation of bloodsucking Lice that will itch and make them rub on fence posts, etc. so hopefully those treatments are good for Lice and Mites.
I like your set up for managing your metal. I have a blacksmith shop and my extra metal is always in the way. I am excited to see how your metal rack turns out. I just built a new blacksmith shop and really would like this new shop to be tidy and be able to find what I need in my metal stacks.
I have the same type of log splitter you have and one thing I changed out right away was a trailer crank with a wheel (preferably a dual wheel) on that splitter to save your back . I’ll be watching what you do to your table on the splitter . for my plan is to move that small table to the operater side and weld up a longer table to reach out over part of the engine and weld a raised lip around the perimeter of the table for the firewood not to vibrate off . I try to use the bucket of my tractor with rounds in it to help roll onto splitter table . Great video and I’m going to try my blade on the tractor tomorrow like your doing. I always use a blower but with gravel it’s hard listening to that gravel spitting out of the shoot . I hope your rental bull gets better .
Thanks for the video. God bless and keep safe and warm! Sixty-six days till Spring!!!!
I made a wooden base with 6” caster wheels and put the whole tote in my garage. I only keep it in there during the heating season. It works great for me.
Was just reading some comments. Boy you do get a lot of advice. Keep doing what you have been doing. I'll keep watching. Thanks for the ride my friend.
Thank you for the update. The metal projects are good for a cold winter day(s). Sorry about Tyrone, it happens. Cali? well what can I say, she's a goof ball.
I think you should take care of your place however you see fit. My wife and I love all of your videos
Great job
People need to understand, when you plow the driveway, it help in the melting process, getting rid of excess moisture, so you don’t get a muddy driveway.
I retired down to west Tennessee end of last year from northern Illinois figuring I wouldn't see much snow anymore. We just got about 8".. Most snow in 10 years. LOL
Some one else said it.should do the younger bull too if it came from the same ranch
Yea! Thanks for sharing!
I'm with you when it comes to snow clean up. This past week we got like 26" in 4 days. Right now my driveway is clean asphalt! I'll clean it up every inch if I have to.
Nice if you could find a snowpusher to go on loader. Would be so much faster on those small snow falls.
Doing great there Evan. Always negative folks posting and you should just get to where you ignore them. That said I watched you pushing with the bucket near the porch and said to myself, I sure hope he is watching that tail swing on the scraper out back. Isn't winter wonderful for catching up on indoor projects? Have a good one you two.
Good video It’s your drive way. Do it your way. Simple as that.
Don't take me wrong ,like you like a spotless driveway I go out after the event is through and clean it all up
Please pay no attention to the complainers and those who want to critique your every project. My wife and I love your creativity and your willingness to learn! Blessings
Hes a rich man wasting his time farming ??? Hes a brilliant electrician and builder but horrible farmer!
It looks beautiful out there. I hope Rebecca did not get get to badly scratched up by the kitty. Stay warm and be safe. 💕🙏
Those solar panels are worthless as teats on a 🐗 boar hawg, covered in all that ❄ snow and ice...but I'm sure they work great in the🎶 Summertime when living is easy...catfish are jumping...and the cotton is high 🎵
I could not live in all that snow and ice..dont know how folks deal with it...cold weather training in the military was enough to last me a lifetime... my hats off to ya pal. 🤠
I'd recommend a quick attachment ramp and a conivor belt to aid speed in splitting believe me anything to save your back
Evan, I’m glad you finally figured you can’t please everyone that watches your videos! Doing things the way you want them done is what is best for you and Rebekah! If viewers watch, they may learn a better way to do things themselves. I love the farmstead. Watching you since you began I can see how far you have come and how good and improved the property looks. Your solar work is bar none some of the best I’ve seen! Great job on working on continued improvements! Peace! Thanks for sharing!
The area that isn’t heated to paint in, maybe try installing one of those Chinese diesel heaters. I have 2 and they are absolutely awesome and sip the diesel.
Evan, so many people see all of the high dollar log splitters on youtube and think everyone should have one. They are great for firewood dealers but my yellow box store splitter works just fine to provide firewood for personal use. Glad to see you making upgrades to your splitter. I may be able to learn from your project to make changes to mine. Thanks for sharing your homestead projects with us.
May have to come up with a kickstand if you make the table larger on the splitter.
Removing even a small amount of snow makes it safer to walk, the sun will melt the remaining snow quicker plus it looks neater.
I hope the cat didn’t hurt Rebecca too bad…watch out for “Cat Scratch Fever!” 🤣
What a beautiful cat...make a snowman? Good show
I would get AV plow for the frontier.That you can go straight.Curve it off to the side or go v.Plow.You can find used once pretty reasonable and you can get them up to anything from 7 to 9 feet wide
I used a piece of 6" cutting edge layed flat under the blade cutting edge. Fasten with a removeable device of your design. Works much better than a pipe.... ask me how I know. Plowed snow commercially for 40+ years. Cutting edge is AR (abrasion resistant) steel. The road or gravel won't be a problem. Great channel!
I would suggest that you clean out the bedding in the barn or use the permethrin on it to get any mites that decide to move on.
That's a good dust
Thx
We have a long farm lane as well. If I don't keep it clean it is just more snow to melt. just enough to freeze that night before it melts down to the gravel and make a real mess. Now instead of packed snow with a little bit of traction, we get a sheet of ice. Some viewers that don't have a long lane or are used to a lot more snow probably see things differently, but I am with you... trying to keep it clean is often better.
Evan you can buy the little rotating wheels that go on the blade. You are a fabricator and can weld them on. They are adjustable up and down
Hi guys!
👋
I shouldn’t be complaining it hasn’t been below 40(F). Sort of miss all the snow (not). Enjoying the channel and Tks for sharing.
Hi there I think your doing a great job with people saying do it this way I bet they wouldn't do it if people said it to them it's your farm so u do it your way at the end of the day.x
Here is my thinking on the snow plowing. It snows 3 inchs of snow. You plow your drive way area. Its snows that night another 3 inchs. So now you have 6 inch on the ground but only 3 on the drive way. I would think 3 inchs is a lot easier to plow than 6 inchs.
When my pigs had mites, I put burnt motor oil on them,might work on the cow too. Just a suggestion.
Have a look at mountain maple ranch. He’s made the splitter into one that splits 4 times at once instead of 2. You could do this at the same time
One of the reasons you do it is because you enjoy it. I’d do the same.
I am usually all about keeping my driveway clear down to the asphalt until it gets to -15C or so, then I don't mind a little snow on the driveway as much.
