Nice to see the chestnut trees producing been with the channel since you planted them
Enjoy your Dad. I know you do. Every year your Dad and Mom are with you are a great blessing! Good job with the fence.
We love chestnuts in Spain. They are a perfect autumn treat! In many regions, you'll find vendors roasting them on street corners, filling the air with that deliciously smoky scent. Roast them with a sprinkle of salt.
Chestnuts are delicious.
Again, love the content. Sounds like you and your father have a wonderful relationship. Keep making memories
nice to see the fence comming along for you it will make it easyer to change pastures for the animals too thank you for shareing with us really do enjoy your videos as well
Hi, Evan! That fence is going to last forever. It is very well planned and constructed. Hello to Rebekah.
Awesome , thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
You can use the post pounder to lift the post. Place the pounder at an angle with the hole up next to the post. Manipulate the post and pounder to get the lip of the pounder on a post notch. A steeper angle is better. Then pull the post to "lift" against the pounder. Im sure there are UA-cam vids that show this in action.
The pond in that scene in beginning of video where you were feeding the ducks, reminded me of a painting from Monet! It looked beautiful with the duckweed on it. I know the duckweed is annoying but there for a few seconds it was a very peaceful scene. Thank you for this video today!
Great video Evan and Rebekah
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire! Delicious! Good work
You're a hero today!!! God Bless!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on finally getting some chestnuts!
Love watching you build fences.
Rule of thumb. Happy wife, happy life. Keep her happy will pay happy dividens plus a well kept lawn and all it took was a new carberator.
Damn your lucky you didn't get racked when that pipe flew up 😮 lol never a dull moment😂❤
Fence is looking good Evan
Evan, have you thought about a tractor steering knob for your tractors and polaris. I was going to suggest that when you were plowing your field with all the turn arounds. Glad the chestnuts are falling, been a few years of watch your hard work pay off on them.
Like the video Evan and Love your homestead .
I remember watching you planting those first trees. Hard to believe it’s been eight years.
Thanks Evan,I was surprised you didn't hear me call out that the pipe wasn't in the notch when you were going to cut it 😀
Evan, back when American Chestnuts were in abundants all over the eastern half of the country farmers relied primary on the chestnut to feed there hogs and other animals.
Great job
The addition of the farm buggy has been one of the tools for you! Farm is looking awesome!
Happy Wife happy life, like the jointer for your steel post, works great,
It was the carburetor on my lawnmower! Thanks Evan! Love chestnuts! Really good
❤❤ VIDEO ❤❤ Always very informative ❤
I was just wondering how your chestnuts were doing and this video drops!😊
Thanks for posting Evan
Well said😉
Hi Evan - The fencing looks awesome ! You dad is spot on, there is indeed a rubber diaphram inside the pump that over time can get a pin hole leak or tear in the rubber and then it will not pump the normal amount of fuel into the carb.
Evan, enjoyed your video. Thank you
Lol, heights of t-posts being different will drive him nuts, but not the overspray he just put on the caps for the pipe... 😄
The farm buggy has been one of the best tools for you! Love the channel !
Try a Leatherman or Gerber multitool. You’d be amazed how much you can do with one in your pocket or sheath.
I noticed he was using a Leatherman in the video.
Awesome…thanks for sharing…
Salute!🍃🍃😎
Good afternoon guys!
Roast chestnuts, sprouts and bacon is a absolute winning combination.
That lawnmower is like a fairground ride 😂😂😂
I like those pole clamps sure made that easy to install!
I cut a piece of pvc pipe to the length I want my t-post to be out of the ground. Then slide it over the t-post and drive it till it’s even with the top of the pvc pipe. Perfect height every time.
Chestnuts a good to eat. Save them for your own consumption and feed your pigs acorns you can collect in your woodlots. Only a suggestion but acorns are harder to make fit for human consumption.
When one of those chestnut trees get large, you’ll have hundreds of chestnuts. We had a chestnut tree at the house I grew up at. It got very big. And quite messy too. We have chestnut and black walnut trees at the golf course that I work at.
I like the method you used with the clamp to hold the tape measure!
Great fencing idea
Speaking from experience after you get done running your field fence, it's a good idea to run a strand of barb wire above the field fence so the cattle don't ruin your fence if they press down on it with their head
Well, you don't want to be in the dog house, been there a lot myself so I hear what you're saying. The fence is getting there, it will be nice when you get it done. Right when you started to put the back shield on the Toro, I was saying out loud, "Evan, you've got it upside down". 🙃Anyways, I enjoyed watching, I hope you have a nice evening!
Hi from New Zealand. You've had a few "wins" ... brace capping off ceremony, lawnmower & chestnuts.
Happy wife happy life
I have harvested 55 so far of my chestnuts trees
When i was young my brother hit one of those spike balls with a ball bat and it hit me in the forehead splitting my eyebrow open. I had to get stitches. My grandma had chestnuts and pear trees in her front yard. I lost count the times I poked my fingers and hands trying to handle them as a kid lol.
Well with the ethanol fuel now days the alcohol tends to eat up those bladders in side the fuel pumps on those mowers.
If you havent already tried them, the milwaukee extreme metal/thick metal band saw blades are awesome for cutting pipe like that. I use them everyday
🎶Chestnuts roasting on an open fire🎶 🌰🔥⛄️🎅🏻👍
My zero turn had a very similar problem. After changing several parts I finally found a dead bee in the fuel tank. Apparently it would get stuck in the pick up tube now and then.
❤ The video.
Plant persimmon trees to attract deer. Plant 3 trees in each hole. Let the trees grow for 3 years and then cut down the 2 slowest growing trees. This way odds are a tree will survive where you want it to be planted. The trees are low-cost or free If you propagate your own from local trees.
IM' in the dog house now// hahaha. good ole song//
Evan hope you can film the upcoming deer hunt
Evan. When you put the horizontal brace on, you didn't check it with a level. I'm sure the cows will check your work for accuracy. Lol.
You fencing is looking good. Try cutting a pipe 60 inches long and then slide it over your T posts and drive it down the pipe should stop it at the length of the pipe. Give that a try on a couple of posts.
Evan I think doing the bottom bracket of the angled brace first might work better, doing the higher bracket at chest/waist level last seems easier to me. Maybe I am missing something here though.
After you get the pipe on the bottom bracket. You have to slide the bracket up! So the pipe is jammed tight between the brackets. The middle bracket is already tightened down and won't move. So you have to do the bottom last.
The Italians have been using chestnut flour for centuries for their baking.
AGREE 👍👍
Hi evan it would be a good idea to have an inline fuel filter on the mower to protect that fuel pump if it doesn't already have one. Change it if it does. It could be partially clogged and would act the dame way
It has one, you can see it in the background while he is swapping out the pump....
Have two belt pouches. One with a leatherman, one with a pair of combination pliers. Yes the leatherman has pliers but not as rugged as a proper pair. Those two tools will be right at your hand without opening a tool box and will do 90% of farm fixes. If you need something else you probably need your shop anyway.
You don’t have a post stretcher, Use the wire stretcher😂 just turn it around it works great 😂Have a great day
I had similar issue with my lawn mower, ended up being the fuel cap vent was plugged. I blew it out with air compressor haven’t had the issue since.
When I was a kid we called those buckeyes.
Buckeyes are poisonous. You can't eat them. As an adult I hope you know better.
Different plant
Waving a hand from texas
A friend of mine makes Chesnut stuffing. I suppose there are lots of chesnut recipes out there.
That's funny I replaced my fuel pump and all new hoses and filters this year my mower run for like 30 seconds and shut off they're really cheap
😂First thing I would have change is fuel filter then the fuel pump than coils mine had the same issue a couple years ago coil out
Oven-roasted chestnuts are mildly sweet. Not sure if they have a special nutritional component or not. For all the work of getting them open, I prefer to eat walnuts or almonds.
My fuel pump it was the breather part from me washing it lol
You should put a bracket behind the mirror and one on the back of your side by side so you can haul your pipe on the side instead of the way you hauled it today
fuel line fallen apart on mine so ck that too went thru two pumps till I fixed it
The lawn mower issue sounds like a fuel filter.
I had already changed that.
No more. welding!😀
👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Your pigs are going to go mad for them. Our pigs got out one year and found the chestnut tree that had been dropping nuts for years. They would not leave the area around that tree willingly and it took a lot of persuasioj.
In my opinion chestnuts are far too valuable to be fed to swine or deer! You will get more bang for your buck by selling them around the holidays. Great in chestnut stuffing in that Thanksgiving turkey. If you want to feed hogs and deer gather up as many acorns as you can, they are free if you have access to oak trees. Hopefully chestnut blight is not prevalent in your neck of the woods.
I have chestnuts ar falling also
I'd LOVE to have a lawnmower like yours, but being on SSI, we can't afford it.
I believe I have watched every video. Haven't seen your 2 dogs running around. Do you still have them? Hope they are all right
Evan said there fine.
One likes to eat the duck eggs.
My dad works on small engines to even push mowers have a diaphragm in the carburetor and if they get cracks it with cause it not to run like it’s not getting fuel we get push mowers for junk people will buy a new mower because the old one wouldn’t run and they give the old one to us for scrap and dad will buy the cheap diaphragm and we have a good push mower we even tell people it’s an easy fix and they just want the old mower gone
construction worker would had put the end of the tape inside the top lip. but you need deduct thinkness of the walls,
👍
It's the coils
My Gravely is flooding
Now ya need an open fire and Jack Frost.
Wondering why you don't work on your machines inside your shop? Then you could move your tool box up to the machine! Seems like you enjoy working in the sun and rain!😂
I noticed when the angle brace was installed, at the top there's a gap between the post and sliding ring. Any idea how this could be addressed preventing rain and wasps from entering. Tooks great for rain Sunday and Monday. Thanks for the video.
No thatbis one problem I see with the bolt on kits. Wasps will be able to get inside. Maybe some spray foam in each end would stop that.
Order a new carburetor it will be per set ! The dust a problem cause it's so dry !
Evan....FOCUS before you try the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chestnut pie is better then ***
Did you by cake for the cows
Is cake a western thing. Never hear of it around here.
How will you keep the squirrels from collecting your chestnuts?
No way to prevent that happening
Where'd you get your chestnut trees?
Another good job! Does the mower have a fuel filter? Are those the same as "Buckeyes"?
NO Buckeye/horse chestnut aren't for human consumption....different plant.
😂😂❤🎉🎉
