Mr. Pete, huge amount of respect for what you do and how you made this farm possible, been watching you since about 2 years, watched the video where you explained how the farm grew and what you faced, it is honestly a motivating story. I hope that one day I could see you in person and try your services. Kind regards to your family ! From Romania 🇷🇴
“Hillary, you’re quite the shoveler. No, I think you’re better at it.” No better double entendre for long time good friends! This part of you charm folks.
Good thinking with the hay bomb and timing it with Tiny Tim's move to the "monkeys"! The ending video did not show a bunch of pigs picking on the new one in town. Hopefully Tiny Tim will integrate quickly with the new pen mates. This was a particularly satisfying episode, Pete. Thank you for sharing things with us. Your method of putting on the chains is top notch! Talk about working smarter, not harder! Take care...
Both of you working together is really sweet to watch. I love how you work so well together! Bossy Pig is looking good. Billy has gotten big! Great to see the farm today!
Wow! JJ is so huge! Like watching yall take care of your animals. Brings back memories of times we spent living at Grampa and Grammas house back when Grampa plowed his fields with two old mules.
Hello My husband and i of 91 and 90 years of age really enjoy your programs . The way you talk about your animals and your farming practices really are a great things for us to enjoy but most importantly educational for your children. Thanks again.
Your tractor rebuild looks amazing. Yes I may have said this already but dang it that looks like new. I love Watching the pigs too. Thank you for sharing your farm with us on UA-cam. Get up make coffee and watch the morning news or watch your video. Rather your videos then watch pretty much anything else on network tv. Hope you and your wife have a good week. Until the next video have a good week.
At 1:38 I really dig your own take on Calvin's father's "building character is good for you" mantra. Especially during the winter time, when snow shoveling is a peak activity to "build character" 🤣
As always great day guys. I bet that switch was made of chineziam the most common material in the world, it can be used for all sorts of things, doesn't last long though.
Pete is absolutely correct about hard work. It's good for your soul (and your mood). And it helps you sleep. Your brain's sleep cycle may say it's time to sleep, but unless your body needs to rest as well you will not sleep well. Thanks for mentioning it.
Pete, I love to see a farmer who talks to his animals. A Dr. Doolittle! LOL I also love seeing you and Hilary interacting while doing the mundane chore like cleaning stalls. Nice to see a couple with a strong relationship who can work well together. God Bless!
Hi Pete, you and Hillary make such good team. Congrats on 355k, well deserved to you both! Soon enough 400k!!! Love your videos regardless of content. God bless you and family.
I love these videos. It's such an eye-opening experience on how much work really goes into farming that a lot of us city folk could never understand otherwise. Great stuff and very entertaining
Hi Pete! Hey Hilary! It's really good seeing you. You remind me of me and my late husband (my best friend). We used to do almost everything together. I remember when we put a transmission in our old car all by ourselves...he was under the car and I was reading him the instructions..it worked too! You guys and your farm always put a big smile on my face. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Could be pretty cool if you did a time lapse showing the full evolution of the hay bomb! or possibly a live feed of them playing. thanks for another good video!
Hi Pete, Hilary and family. Nice way to begin weekend with new video. When I saw that there was a new video I fired up the Nespresso machine and prepared to enjoy the video. Praise to you and Hilary for keeping up with the extensive physical labor of managing a farm. On the best days of my life I don’t think I would be able to keep up with the work day after day. Hope you, Hilary and family have great weekend. Looking forward to next installment!
Thank you Pete, for another great video. It is not only entertaining, but you also give me an incentive, at 74, to at least think about doing something on my little 20 acre farm. Keep the good videos coming.
GREAT video! Every time I watch your most recent video, I think- that has GOT to b THE BEST video and SO educational, especially if it has a Dad joke! Of course, only until your NEXT video comes out and I think ITS THE BEST video! Ty Pete and Hill! I appreciate all your hard work!
Great visiting with you and Hill again, piggers are looking happy and looking forward to new digs...hope the weather improves, it is the worst of winter now and I can remember how nasty it can get in that neck of the woods. Stay warm and have a great day.
Thank You for sharing this part of farm life. Hope the hay bomb will help in welcoming Tiny Tim. Clean pens for the pigs must be rewarding to them in some way. I like how you take care of business on the farm!
FINALLY!!! SOMEBODY WHO WILL TELL THE IDIOTS THE WAY THE SIDE WALKS!!! LMAO N idk the FIRST THING about a tractor or chains or how they go on--NOTHING!! LMAO but I love to see another American speak their truth!! Love it!! Thank you!! I appreciate ur words!😁👊🏻🇺🇲❤️ - ur tractors look cool! They all look neat! Do all of them work? Oh...I'm in a city lol idk these things, im not being a smart ass lol - what is the food u put out for the younger pigs?? In the blue/green thing -- what is that, what kinda food? U told em they had enough food for a week-- what was that powder stuff? ? Have u all been effected by thqt avian bird flu going around? I hear it's real bad smh In Maryland they say there's been 56M chickens sacrificed due to this bug being passed around. I hope u all are faring well and not too awfully effected. 1st time on ur channel. Interesting 😊
As always, enjoyed your video. We used to do the hay bomb thing with our hogs, but they were old Allis Chalmers Roto-Baler small round bales that had gotten rained on or something. Brought back memories watching the pigs play. Got a kick out of "IT DON'T MATTER!" 😊Our method of putting on chains was slightly different than yours, but I wouldn't say our method was any better or worse than the way you do it. As you say - IT DON'T MATTER😊!, as long as the chains get on. Our neighbor used to use your method and it always seemed to work well for him. PART OF THE BEAUTY OF BEING SELF-EMPLOYED IS THAT YOU GET TO DO THINGS THE WAY YOU WANT TO DO THEM. I suppose viewers have good intentions by suggesting "better" ways of doing things, but I imagine, with so many "helpful" viewers, it does get tedious after while. Don't let them get under your skin. Also, when your tin can on the exhaust pipe went up in the air and came down on the MD - that brought back memories, too. My dad hated the exhaust flappers, but I liked them, so some of our tractors had them, and on some we used tin cans. Invariably, on the ones with tin cans - about every 10th time we would start one, we would forget to take the can off, and BANG! - another slight chip in the paint. Boy, the MD sure does purr like a kitten now. Speaking of which, enjoyed seeing Ezra again. Take care!
Love your videos, and it makes me appreciate Farming (even though I'm no Farmer) and Family. I'm from ENGLAND 🇬🇧 you make it all interesting and easy to watch. Thank you so much, it appreciated from across the pond 👍👍👍
🎉😂❤😂❤😂😂😅😅😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ I love you too much and I love the music too much to even notice that you are a beautiful human being and I love you so much to see your beautiful face and smile on my lips as I look forward and smile in your smile on yours and my beautiful lips are always a highlight on the day when it happens in my face as you are in your heart as well I hope your heart and heart is in the right way to live your happiness is the right thing in life as well love your happiness in life will continue and be happy cow Gdcgffffffff this was so fun I can’t cow myself off my bed and my bed I love
The Hillman Hardware Manufacturing company guidebook suggests to not use lock washers when vibration is present do to potential failure from wearing of the lock washer.
Pete, I've heard you talk about the new pig facility a few times. Would you share some specifics on efficiency in it? Cleaning the pens, for example. We are about to build a new barn and I'm looking for ideas. Thanks
Thanks Pete ( & Hill )....nice entertaining video. Got to love those short winter days. Take care and have a super weekend. I was over joyed when I saw a new video today. Rough past couple days for me. Thank you!
Pete, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. While I was watching this one, it caused me to have a thought concerning Hillary (hope I spelled her name correctly). But I was wondering how often you are reminded as to how much of a treasure she really is. How many wives do you know who would be willing to hop in and shovel pig poo? And do it with a smile and a positive attitude? When you won her heart, you were definitely blessed. I pray for God's richest blessings upon you both. Have a great day.
I have replaced a couple of those switches on my H. Never took one apart, but now I understand why they quit. Very frustrating the way things are made now.
So true on the running the carb dry. Problem is most people don't know or just won't do it. Then complain the work they cost themselves cleaning the carb
Pete, you made me smile when the tin can came off the muffler on the MD. When I was little my dad had an old John Deere that he kept a tin can on the exhaust. I was playing nearby one day when he started it and the can came back down and hit me on the head. You brought back good memories. 👍
You can find tire chains laying around old barns and garages, not used for years. They are an item that you don't need until you do. When you want a set, they never are the size that you need. When you look into purchasing a set for a tractor, hold on to your wallet.
Yes those new starter switches will not carry the amperage needed for the starter I put a Ford electric solenoid on a few of my most used Farmalls I keep the factory push button run a 12 gauge wire from the battery to the switch and the other side to the signal post of the solenoid which then connects the battery to the starter to crank the engine that way it still looks and somewhat functions like it is factory
unfortunately we don't get any old dad jokes anymore but at least we get to look forward to your Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions. always brings a smile.
Talked to an engineer many decades back. His opinion was lock washers make no difference in the majority of cases, Correct thread and nut when properly tightened was fine. He worked in the then steam locomotive and carriage repair depot for GWR. Love to see the piggies, best wishes and thanks for posting from the UK.
You asked, Why do I get all the hard jobs? Because "YOU the MAN! Pete! Hope you guys have great weekend and keep between the rows 😊 Thanks for bring us along
Great video Pete. The MD sounds great. It seems like a life time ago since the hay making videos.will you keep tiny Tim longer than the others to allow him to grow?
Excellent job of putty together another informative/entertaining mix that not only tells a story, but documents a lifestyle that many will never experience. Thank you for assembling all these video clips into a smooth composition. Many of the viewers will never realize the many hats you wear as the script writer/ narrator/ director/ camera operator/ equipment technician/ video editor and publisher. And still find time to research, develop and explore strategies on farm efficiencies and sustainability. Quiet a busy life. Since you were (and still are) an architect/manager/project planner, I'm looking forward to the facility layout and selected building materials you have selected for the projected future swine operation. I'm confident you have weighed the many factors and done a fair amount of conditional analysis as the financial model is transitioning into a standardized gold asset economy.
Friendly greetings from Florida! Another excellent video, Mr. Pete! Really enjoy seeing Ms. Hillary helping out! Those cows and piggers look awesome! You operate a good farm...love your vblog. I always look forward to your 'new' videos - keep 'em comin'! Thanks!
Winter was my least favorite time of the yr on the farm... Getting up at 4:30 a.m. to feed & water everything was a real drag...Then my brother & I had to shower auickly , grab breakfast & walk a mile to our bus stop... Our sisters got to sleep in an extra 2 hours while my brother & I was out in sub zero weather putting out hay for the cattle , feeding hogs, chickens , ect. Then we hand milked our two Jeresey cows . 7 ppl in our house , so milk went fast . It wasnt until I was in Jr high that I tasted store bought milk .. To me it was one step above water , barely. We grew all our food . Meat , veggies & fruit all came off the farm.. My mother was a busy woman for sure. My dad was a mngr at a large factory , so we saw little of him . He also taught evenings at a local university during the school yr , and we usually saw him on the wk ends.. Come wk ends we we busy making repairs or doing what needed done... On sunday , we could sleep in a little & between morning & evening service , (we went to church twice on sunday) we could take a nap if we wanted .. But we never did . It was our time & we sure didnt want to waste it sleeping... I would'nt change a thing though...at the time , I swore Id never farm one minute when I grew up ... But , we did farm for decades...
I wish I could subscribe a million times, Pete. I can't tell you how much having you share this with us means to me. I wish I was like a family friend or something, but in a small way I feel like we all are, it's just sort of a one-way street! Thank you for making these videos, and for being a voice of reason in a world that badly needs more of those!
Hi Pete, hope your day is going well. Never a dull moment when you have all moment when you have all these animals to care for. I think you always look for the most efficient way to care for these buggers. With you and Hillary to do all these chores you have to be efficient and develop routines. Good video of the farm’s daily routine. Take care and say hi 🙋♂️ to Hillary and kids.
Another good video, thanks! My two cents on the lock washer debate: always use a lock washer unless the bolt is torqued or a locking devise is used, like a lock nut or thread lock.
Best time of the day is when Pete post another video.
Hopefully - talking to a camera every other day or so helps keep your life interesting.
Agreed!
2nd that!
Highligt of my week!
Truth
Finally, my insomnia pays off. At least I have something good to watch!
FR!!!!
Oh me too , 4am here in Australia .
So many people behind the keyboard know farming so much better than you!
(dripping sarcasm emoticon here)
So much fun to watch you guys take care of the farm. Thank you for sharing your life 😍
Would you like to live on his farm?
Mr. Pete, huge amount of respect for what you do and how you made this farm possible, been watching you since about 2 years, watched the video where you explained how the farm grew and what you faced, it is honestly a motivating story. I hope that one day I could see you in person and try your services. Kind regards to your family ! From Romania 🇷🇴
I'm like you, really impressed with the work Pete has accomplished on his farm.
Farming news, piggies, common sense and words of wisdom. Enjoying it all. Cows too.
“Hillary, you’re quite the shoveler. No, I think you’re better at it.” No better double entendre for long time good friends! This part of you charm folks.
THANK YOU Pete for all the great videos. I look forward to seeing them. God bless you and your family.

I love your Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions...I seriously laugh every single time!! 👍🏼😂
Both of you working together is really sweet to watch. I love how you work so well together! Bossy Pig is looking good.
Billy has gotten big!
Great to see the farm today!
The time when I watch Pete's farm videos is when I feel the most relaxed.
*The cattle on Pete's farm are the happiest cattle in America.*
Hey Pete, can you give us an update on your planned structure and ideas for the new pig facility?
Wow! JJ is so huge! Like watching yall take care of your animals. Brings back memories of times we spent living at Grampa and Grammas house back when Grampa plowed his fields with two old mules.
Has your water dish solution worked as well as you had hoped? Enjoy your videos, keep them coming.
Are there such farms near where you live?
got to hand to ya Pete, really know how to show a lady a good time.
Your videos really take me back to my youth on a farm. I love your positive take on life.

Thanks for bringing the sunshine to my day once again. Enjoy seeing your videos.
The best time of the day for me is watching Pete's new video.

As always great day guys.
I bet that switch was made of chineziam the most common material in the world, it can be used for all sorts of things, doesn't last long though.
I always have a great day with you guys❤
I'm glad your list always grows; it makes for great entertainment.
Great video! Love hearing about the pigs.
I'm so glad you tell us what the Celsius is also it's always so confusing for me but that sure helps.😆
Pete is absolutely correct about hard work. It's good for your soul (and your mood). And it helps you sleep. Your brain's sleep cycle may say it's time to sleep, but unless your body needs to rest as well you will not sleep well. Thanks for mentioning it.
It does. Really l. Remind me
Pete, I love to see a farmer who talks to his animals. A Dr. Doolittle! LOL I also love seeing you and Hilary interacting while doing the mundane chore like cleaning stalls. Nice to see a couple with a strong relationship who can work well together. God Bless!
You have to talk to animals, otherwise how will they learn their names?
Hi Pete, you and Hillary make such good team. Congrats on 355k, well deserved to you both! Soon enough 400k!!!
Love your videos regardless of content. God bless you and family.
Chores chores chores the piggies are so cute thanks for sharing this video ❤️
355k I'm proud of you guys you definitely deserve it
Amen to hard work. Something I think the younger generation desperately need to embrace.
Love your videos! Let us know how tiny Tim does ❤
I love these videos. It's such an eye-opening experience on how much work really goes into farming that a lot of us city folk could never understand otherwise. Great stuff and very entertaining

“The window of time for which I can feel my fingers is closing.” 😂
Remember when Bossy Pig was outside and was always the first pig to the feed? They grow up so fast.
GREAT video! Every time I watch your most recent video, I think- that has GOT to b THE BEST video and SO educational, especially if it has a Dad joke! Of course, only until your NEXT video comes out and I think ITS THE BEST video! Ty Pete and Hill! I appreciate all your hard work!

Those animals look so happy 😊
The animals are lucky to live on Pete's farm, what a wonderful man he is.
Thank You for sharing this part of farm life. Hope the hay bomb will help in welcoming Tiny Tim. Clean pens for the pigs must be rewarding to them in some way. I like how you take care of business on the farm!
I love how smart and how much of a personality they have!!
What ever happened to run run run run run run run ????????
Verne Johnson
Farmall kid 63
P.S what happened to the bad joke's???????????? Lol 😂
I can't wait until our farm gets HALF the size of yours! I love what you're doing!
I always enjoy seeing a new video released! Thank you Pete. 🙂
So is my dad, he always looks forward to Pete's new video every day.

1st time on ur channel. Interesting 😊
As always, enjoyed your video. We used to do the hay bomb thing with our hogs, but they were old Allis Chalmers Roto-Baler small round bales that had gotten rained on or something.

Any news if the females got breed and if there are babies on the way and Good morning Pete and Hillary
I watch this over and over. All your videos. I learned if I press "like" a second time ,it erased my first thumbs ups. Only one tumbe
I have replaced a couple of those switches on my H. Never took one apart, but now I understand why they quit. Very frustrating the way things are made now.
After a cooooold day and freezing winds on pasture - time for fireplace, nice cold beer, homemade food and Pete's videos.
This was a very good day.
So true on the running the carb dry. Problem is most people don't know or just won't do it. Then complain the work they cost themselves cleaning the carb
Bossy pig cracks me up, she definitely moves at her OWN pace 😂😂😂
Pete, you made me smile when the tin can came off the muffler on the MD. When I was little my dad had an old John Deere that he kept a tin can on the exhaust. I was playing nearby one day when he started it and the can came back down and hit me on the head. You brought back good memories. 👍
I am curious. How does someone get a hold of you directly? Do you have an email? Carrier pigeon? Fax?
I like how Pete admonishes and cajoles the tractors!
Its bouncy with the chains because you didn't turn the clips the right way!! LOL
Pigs need to be busy. They sure like playing with that hay. Your wife is a great farm hand. Thanks for sharing.
The family that mucks pens together stay together!
You can find tire chains laying around old barns and garages, not used for years. They are an item that you don't need until you do. When you want a set, they never are the size that you need. When you look into purchasing a set for a tractor, hold on to your wallet.
Yes those new starter switches will not carry the amperage needed for the starter I put a Ford electric solenoid on a few of my most used Farmalls I keep the factory push button run a 12 gauge wire from the battery to the switch and the other side to the signal post of the solenoid which then connects the battery to the starter to crank the engine that way it still looks and somewhat functions like it is factory
Nope as a Canadian and well versed in Celsius I can tell you 25F is only minus 640C.
-762 degrees Celsius? Pete... I trust you with a lot of information, but temperature conversion is not on the list anymore. :D
Ok how is 25 degrees Fahrenheit -765 degrees Celsius???
Chinesium junk from Tractor Supply
I love hard work, I could watch you all day.
unfortunately we don't get any old dad jokes anymore but at least we get to look forward to your Fahrenheit to Celsius conversions. always brings a smile.
Talked to an engineer many decades back. His opinion was lock washers make no difference in the majority of cases, Correct thread and nut when properly tightened was fine. He worked in the then steam locomotive and carriage repair depot for GWR. Love to see the piggies, best wishes and thanks for posting from the UK.
I remember those days: set off on the morning, keys, wallet, torque wrench! (Southern Railways, Lancing Carriage Works.)
If you really want things to stay tight use Nylock nuts, liquid thread locker, or (for best results) safety wire.
You asked, Why do I get all the hard jobs? Because "YOU the MAN! Pete! Hope you guys have great weekend and keep between the rows 😊 Thanks for bring us along
Try to install a modern start relay between the switch and the starter it might last longer. Just a suggestion.
People actually argue about how you put chains on they must have a small world
Haven't heard you mention Ms Buck in a while
"What are we going to do today, Brain?"
Take over the world!
Great video Pete. The MD sounds great. It seems like a life time ago since the hay making videos.will you keep tiny Tim longer than the others to allow him to grow?
Tiny Tim looked a lot bigger when you were carrying her.
Seemed like a fun and productive day.
Had a starter switch go bad after ten or twelve starts if you find a source for a good one let us know.
You guys are the best, loved this video, I could sit and watch the pigs as well, keep on farming.
Excellent job of putty together another informative/entertaining mix that not only tells a story, but documents a lifestyle that many will never experience. Thank you for assembling all these video clips into a smooth composition. Many of the viewers will never realize the many hats you wear as the script writer/ narrator/ director/ camera operator/ equipment technician/ video editor and publisher. And still find time to research, develop and explore strategies on farm efficiencies and sustainability. Quiet a busy life.
Since you were (and still are) an architect/manager/project planner, I'm looking forward to the facility layout and selected building materials you have selected for the projected future swine operation. I'm confident you have weighed the many factors and done a fair amount of conditional analysis as the financial model is transitioning into a standardized gold asset economy.
I just love the pigs…they are so messy but super cute at the same time…you and Hillary do a great job with your animals!
Friendly greetings from Florida! Another excellent video, Mr. Pete! Really enjoy seeing Ms. Hillary helping out! Those cows and piggers look awesome! You operate a good farm...love your vblog. I always look forward to your 'new' videos - keep 'em comin'! Thanks!
Winter was my least favorite time of the yr on the farm...
Getting up at 4:30 a.m. to feed & water everything was a real drag...Then my brother & I had to shower auickly , grab breakfast & walk a mile to our bus stop...
Our sisters got to sleep in an extra 2 hours while my brother & I was out in sub zero weather putting out hay for the cattle , feeding hogs, chickens , ect.
Then we hand milked our two Jeresey cows .
7 ppl in our house , so milk went fast .
It wasnt until I was in Jr high that I tasted store bought milk ..
To me it was one step above water , barely.
We grew all our food .
Meat , veggies & fruit all came off the farm..
My mother was a busy woman for sure.
My dad was a mngr at a large factory , so we saw little of him . He also taught evenings at a local university during the school yr , and we usually saw him on the wk ends..
Come wk ends we we busy making repairs or doing what needed done...
On sunday , we could sleep in a little & between morning & evening service , (we went to church twice on sunday) we could take a nap if we wanted ..
But we never did . It was our time & we sure didnt want to waste it sleeping...
I would'nt change a thing though...at the time , I swore Id never farm one minute when I grew up ...
But , we did farm for decades...
I love the tin can launching off the MD exhaust!
I wish I could subscribe a million times, Pete. I can't tell you how much having you share this with us means to me. I wish I was like a family friend or something, but in a small way I feel like we all are, it's just sort of a one-way street! Thank you for making these videos, and for being a voice of reason in a world that badly needs more of those!
Hi Pete, hope your day is going well. Never a dull moment when you have all moment when you have all these animals to care for. I think you always look for the most efficient way to care for these buggers. With you and Hillary to do all these chores you have to be efficient and develop routines. Good video of the farm’s daily routine. Take care and say hi 🙋♂️ to Hillary and kids.
will we see the McCormick-Deering tractor runing ?
Another good video, thanks! My two cents on the lock washer debate: always use a lock washer unless the bolt is torqued or a locking devise is used, like a lock nut or thread lock.
Thank you for your video today. Needed a little pick me up and you always deliver.
