We are putting the old Yanmar to work. I have an old horse training ring to remove, many trees, some quite large, and other things. I push down a honeylocust and find an awesome surprise.

This was supposed to be a video of 1 days worth of work, but as often happens, things didn't go as planned. In this case it was because of the weather, so I ended up doing the work over a few days. But if it had been good weather and nothing else came up to get in the way, this definitely could have been done in a single day. Probably 8-10 hours of work. Then another couple days editing the video. Hope you all enjoy, and have an awesome weekend everybody!
If you curl your bucket in when you're unloading then put it on the ground before you go down the ramp you will have better control and it won't nose dive. Have a great weekend
The stuff I have learned from your videos ! Keep it up always quality work!
I like that yore enough of an optimist to still get fooled by how long a project takes. Lol
Hope you have a good magnet to collect all those staples you don’t want your cow eating any.
Yes to woodworking! Bring it on!
Yes, some woodworking projects, please! Loved your past videos like the wooden padlock, deck replacement, and bench on the pond.
Yes wood turning…….
Absolutely woodworking! 👍
Winter is time for indoor projects.
Yes please!
Yes, woodworking and wood turning are great. I like it best when it directly relates to your actual needs.
For me the appeal is the variety. It is a pleasure to see practical problem solving and creativity from a relatable guy. Thanks for the great content.
I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have heard "Good enough is Good enough" in my life. The other one is "It will outlast me"... and for the most part, it did. The one I still struggle with is "Don't let perfect get in the way of done"
I’d be lost without my Yanmar Excavator. Handy is an understatement.
I speak for your entire audience.
Thank you for sawing that log.
We all are awaiting some work on the lathe
Not me, I don't care about that log.
You do like to tease us! Yes sawing that log was awesome.
Whatever you make from that log will fall apart in a few years
you don't seem to understand what wood turning is and how the worst blanks can be saved with some resin, you should watch some wood turning video's learn a few things before you make such comments. also what ever John make won't fall apart becuase he does good quality work.@@bertjetolberg103
@@bertjetolberg103 What makes you say that?
Your channel has become my favorite UA-cam channel. All my other favorites have jumped the shark by thinking they're celebrities. As long as it's you, on your farm, doing farm things, I'll be ecstatic to watch. Wood working, farming, metal work, equipment repair, I'm happy to watch it all.
OWTM is one who think they are celebrities.
Yup, that dude is a tool!
My thoughts exactly 😀
@@realairplane261 Agreed! John is the real deal.
Also John knows how to fix, instead of just throwing money at it and having old guys drooling over their wives as click bait.
VIDEO IDEAS: Mr. Farmcraft, I think you should consider doing a farm tour and/or Q&A videos. I would love to hear your backstory and the history of the farm. Also a good overview of your entire property would be awesome to see and the different buildings and locations. Obviously, some of all that might be too personal which I completely understand. Thanks for the great videos.
Love watching woodworking, especially wood lathe work with those chisels, etc. I was a machinist and I appreciate the
content on metalworking, welding and all forms of repair work. Yes, I'm a farm boy, the most creative and skilled workers
that built this nation by thinking outside "the box" whatever that noun means anymore. My name is John and I appreciate you and the restoration of your farm. God bless you and your family!
Yes, more woodworking! Doesn't matter what you do, will still come here every friday to watch whatever your doing, keep up the good work!
For some, the 10 minutes was about the same as watching paint dry. For me, the noises from the excavator and the clacking were pure ASMR. Thanks for these recordings.
It's so cool, weird and amusing to watch this as someone who grew up on a farm down here in New Zealand, and just smile at the similarities in all the little farming related things. Even from the other side of the world, it's fun to see the same activities being done in the same (or at least similar) way.
I can't speak for the rest of the Audience, but I for one would be interested in watching almost ANYTHING you choose to post...
Fixing machines, ripping out trees, digging ponds, leveling land, mowing fields, wood/epoxy working, metal casting...you post it and I for one am 95+% sure to watch it...
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Every Friday afternoon at 5pm, here in Merry Old England (Mid-Wales actually). I sit down with a mug of tea and a selection of biscuits (cookies) in eager anticipation of a new FarmCraft101. To be informed, educated and entertained by the new episode’s antics & shenanigans. A little late today but I can wait 10 minutes…
Have any congress tarts?
@@tha1boodge I have lived 59 years and did not know that Bakewell Tarts have another name. UA-cam is so educational, no matter how found.
Sure why not a woodworking video. Your videos are really enjoyable and I’m sure a turning one will be good also. Lotta work on the farm. Thanks again John.
An excavator is just an excavator but when you ad a thumb it is an incredibly versatile piece of machinery! I rented one a couple years ago and removed all the thorned locust trees on a property I own. Every day I get rid of a locust tree is a good day! A neighbor's daughter riding on a snowmobile lost her eye on our property from one of the thorns on one.
I'm from the Pacific Northwest. Harvesting trees is a way of life up there. Don't sweat the small stuff, it'll be fine.
Nice to see Mrs. Craft up-n-about and of course it's a good thing the girls are putting-in their commentary. ❤
I would love to see some woodworking and other shop projects through these winter months!
Since I hung around to watch you drive t-posts by hand, it should be obvious I will happily watch a bit of woodworking.
Hey John. I would love to see some wood turning. I think a lot of your audience are Jacks of all trades (and masters of none). I know I certainly am. I am always happy to see something on FarmCraft come up. Thank you, as always, for sharing your experiences with us.
Long time viewer here. like many others have said, I love your content because you are a down to earth relatable guy. I personally live in a big city but have been fortunate to get to enjoy some time on a farm so seeing you use logic, humor, and persistence to solve any task.. and I mean any task, is very entertaining. I personally enjoy the variety of your channel. I believe I found you because of your solar videos and just kept watching from there. Keep it up! I look forward to watching any of your new videos every Friday!
The only trees needed in a paddock are whats needed for shade. All others are just a bloody hindrance for for cultivation and mowing. Jen deserves a bonus in her pay packet! 💵💵💵
Really enjoyed watching your video this morning with coffee. It was inspiring to watch all the work you accomplished with your Yanmar VIO50. Especially since I just bought yesterday a 2018 model with the open cab. It has no thumb but I'll put that on right away and purchase a 24" bucket to go along with the 12" bucket that's coming with it. We have a piece of raw land we are developing for our homestead and the Lord told my wife and I that this will make everything easier digging a pond, taking trees down and pulling roots.
I really look forward to Fridays knowing that there's going to be a new Farm Craft video! Thanks for the great content, I've learned so much stuff.
I love the sawmill videos please keep them coming
I came for the disc sander, giant key, and how to fell a tree & stayed for the 97 part bulldozer repair series. I learn something every week with you. I have a feeling most of us are the same and would watch you dig a hole in the ground for hours on end. Wait a minute...
Variety is the spice of life. I would enjoy woodturning videos just as much as the farm work, excavating, and equipment repairs you've been doing. I also appreciate your integrity. It's good to know when you recommend something it's because you've found some value in it worth promoting and not just to collect a paycheck.
Hey John... just wanted you to know that last night as I was brushing my teeth for bedtime I was thinking thru my Friday schedule and I was suddenly like OH HELLS YEAH - IT'S FARMCRAFT DAY! and I was excited for it... my Fridays just aren't the same when you don't post, and I've really come to look forward to your videos as a regular part of my weekend kickoff... watching your vids makes me wish I was your neighbor and could come over to help with these projects sometimes. It's the stuff I grew up doing in the Diesel shop... it's the stuff I'd rather be doing today! :)
Thank you for doing what you do... I'm a patron now, can't wait to see what we get to work on next!
Thanks John, I enjoyed a day on the farm. I like all your content, Mech or otherwise - I vote yes for wood turning, oh and some casting again too 👍👍
Yes! Can't forget the foundry vids!
John, I’m a 72-year-old retired female college professor. I love your channel. I enjoy your sense of humor, your multi-faceted skills, creativity and work ethic. Yes, please make some wood-working videos!
Don't worry about the complainers, John, those aren't trees, that's weed control...big weeds. :) I enjoy watching you working with your machines. I used to do that when I worked, and it's pure heaven and it brings back a sense of actively doing it again, watching you operate the equipment. Even if it's only for a few minutes at a time, or 10 this time. :)
As a fellow homesteader this is 100% day in the life, but the most authentic is when one invites their wife to help out and she throws in a little shade to let you know she still loves you! :) Woodturning sounds cool to me, but I did notice your skidsteer in the background as well. Please tell me it has a "couple problems, but it was a good deal and could use a little work"
:)
Lol hope the skidsteer has some problems im glad i wasn't the only one thinking it! I hope not honestly!
john you are my favorite youtuber because you actually get stuff done and leave the drama out of it keep it coming love it. god bless you and your family.
Nothing is ever easy when you are farming!
Another interesting video. Real life without any fluff or polishing. Your explanations of what you're doing and why along with your dry sense of humor only make the videos that much better. Keep them up.
There is one suggestion - having Jennifer make more cameo appearances. She adds a lot with her witty comments and banter with you.
John try pulling the emergency breakaway and it will lock your electric breaks to stabilize your trailer. If you don’t want to do that I use chocks for my camper. They go between the tires and stops all movement. It takes just a few seconds to install
And remove with a Milwaukee m12 ratchet. Worth a shot thanks for the awesome videos.
I think going backwards is still the faster way. If he can go up the trailer forwards, going off backwards shouln't be a problem.
Nice touch adding the overhead drone view to the close-up camera view. It helps to put things in perspective.
You have a farmers youtube channel. Farming is not just plowing a field. There are multifaceted aspects to a farmers life. As for me, I subscribed to your channel because i like your content. So YES! I would like to see what you do with the stuff on your farm.
"Shockingly, this job is more work than I expected." Yup, I know what you mean. I am retired and one motto that always holds true is - "Every job takes twice as long as you think it will." I should carve that in my gravestone.
Just before the 10 min real-time part I was thinking: "Man, clearing that field without the excavator would take multiple people and/or days to do with just a tractor".
Some distinctly bad memories of doing this kind of work manually back on the farm when I was a kid 😅
Yeah, I've done my share of that as well. My tractor is a great machine, but it's hard to beat an excavator with a thumb. Whole other level.
I always enjoy the mechanic type content and would enjoy the woodworking… but more content like this video would be nice also. It’s fascinating to see the everyday tasks around your farm and land in general.
some people dont understand just how much time a machine and a mildly decent operator can save , well worth the money spent
I'm a software engineer and I have had people say I'm nit-picking when a common activity takes an extra second. "It's only a second, get over it!" But that second times hundreds (maybe sometimes even thousands) of times a day over many years... it adds up.
Also, I'd like to see some wood turning! That wood looks really interesting.
Gotta say the drone does an impressive job of station-keeping for that 10-minute locked-off shot!
I love watching your videos, reminds me of hanging out with my Papa (also named John). He passed this year, but he was also a farmer who seemed to be able to fix everything and loved making things out of wood. Bring on the woodworking videos!
You know, if I can watch a hydraulic system being refurbished, I think I can watch some sawing. Without sounding weird, it's you and your style/sense of humor we enjoy. Thanks,
As with most of the UA-camrs I watch, the content is obviously of interest but largely it's the personalities that really draw me in. John, you have a great personality. I would love to see you make some bowls or table tops out of that tree you cut down!
I enjoy your projects no matter what they are. As a woodworker myself, I would be happy to watch. I really enjoy your channel!
Variety is great. Bring on the woodworking!
I like how the cattle will approach you. I'm a carnivore, but would never want an animal abused. It will have a good life, right up to the family eating it.
One of the things I like about your channel is the variety. So yes to the woodworking.
That little Yanmar is a nifty piece of equipment! So useful.
The person who told me about your channel, said what they liked was you did all sorts of different things, which they thought made it more interesting than many other channels. I'd be up for woodworking for sure.
I'm not much for woodwork, but you acquit yourself very well in your mechanical videos. I imagine you'd bring your usual flair and creativity to woodwork as well. I'm game to watch. I usually learn something from your videos. Please keep them coming.
Hey Jon Ive got a little JD35 and it still impresess me with how much you can get done in very little time, not the best on it but I get a little better everytime. When you came round to the side you pushed it over I thought you were going to dig to the left and right of the tree again to fully isolate the root ball, but it still push over easy. I guess with the Yanmar 50 has way more power than my JD35. Nice looking slabs thanks for milling it up 😀
I was thinking I might need to dig more, but figured I would give it a push first and it obviously worked. Cheers.
Woodworking would be very interesting. You make amazing videos, I’m sure it will give a perfect round up. Thanks John!
Yes to the woodworking videos. Variety is the spice of life John.
The wood grain looks unique and it's actually very nice. I really want to see you doing some furniture or bowls with it John. I'm a hardcore woodworking fan but I watch your videos because it's educational. Learn stuff that books couldn't teach.
Producing a wood working video will be enjoyed. Your weekly videos are much appreciated and enjoyed. Good entertainment, but also good learning events. And your family’s concern for others is also appreciated. Thanks for sharing your day-to-day with us.
Yes, on the wood working. Variety is the spice of life.
One of the Cows Is telling you At the top of its Lungs How Un happy They are with you Jon moving the Eletric Line 😂😂 18:20 @FarmCraft101
Homy Locust actually makes some good-looking bowls, Table tops, etc.! I would LOVE to see some wood work!
The thing with the channel are the diversity of your projects and the way you present them. Keep coming whatever you feel like filming and I will watch. It is always to my enjoyment. Happy holidays from Sweden
Life on the farm! I love it! I have my cattle ranch in Jalisco, México. That's agave, Tequila country. It sits on 7248ft above sea level. I grew up in the great Central San Joaquin Valley here in California! I enjoyed your post! Keep them coming!
Honey Locust trees make great lumber and excellent firewood but the thorns make it quite difficult to process. Awesome video. I look forward to each one.
There’s more trees on Earth than all the stars in our galaxy! Trees-3, trillion - stars 280000,000,000!! Thanks for sharing!
It's too bad you haven't put up a new video on your other channel in three years. You certainly explained it at the time and I respect that. We have all come to find that it's the mind behind your videos that's interesting, not the specific subject you dive into.
Other channel?
You mean, there's more content that I've missed?? I don't see any links from this channel's info to the other. Could you drop one here? I'd like to check that out.
@@arcanewyrm6295 His other channel is GunCraft101. That was his original, main, channel. He stopped doing gun content because of googletube.
@@weedwacker1716 Thank you for the info (and the speedy reply)! Despite lack of new content, I'll be sure to go check it out.
Came for some random boomlift action some time ago, shouted to my screen when You tried the boomlift-bonfire thingy later on, watched You surprisingly relatably sweating Your *ss off for some of the most entertainingly stubborn machines You have, would definitely stay and enjoy something completely different like wood-turning balls (or "bowls", for that matter 😂) or whatever You might load up - because farmcraft-John, of course. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely woodworking. That’s why I originally joined your channel. You made your own tongue in groove flooring for the porch.
John - Absolutely would love to see some wood turning. What I like about your channel is the variety. You are not a Jack of All Trades -- YOU ARE THE MASTER OF ALL TRADES!
Its nice to see everyday life on the farm John. As they say " variety is the spice of life".
Lovexto see some woodworking and bowl making. Very impressed with Yanmar. A big labour/ time saver. Great video as always
It does not matter what you do in your channel… everything is interesting to me!! Love the channel!!!
Honey Locast and Black Locust has a very interesting history behind it.
Yes on woodworking! I enjoy all your projects. Thank you!
I love watching your videos with all that you do and yes I would also like seeing some wood turning. It might inspire me to dust off my lathe and do some turning too. See you on the next one !
One tip I can share is when being frustrated with single use rubber bands save some old or odd Orings and use them, they last a lot longer.
I think you need to make an electro magnet for the excavator to clean up all the lost fasteners then take it to the beach and show off to all the metal detectors and magnet fishermen. Think of the views!!!
😉😉
Love watching your channel its one of the best. Hope many more years of entertainment for us. Seeing your excavator makes me want to get one too for all the big pine trees in my yard that got to come down
Would love to see some wood working.
Anytime you think you're not making any time with the excavator stop, get out and get a shovel and a jack and try removing those old trees and fence posts by hand. Don't twist an ankle running back to get into the excavator.🤣 Great video John thumbs up. There is some real pretty wood grain in that locust, can't wait to see what it looks like in a turned bowl.
I would like to see a video on your approach to farming. Do you make hay? Sell hay? Sell calves? Are you organic or do you use spray and fertilizer? I'd love to learn!
I remember the bench you made for the dock at the lake. You're talented with wood working. I think the audience would appreciate that.
I am myself a truck/equipment mechanic but I started watching your channel when you did the Porch rebuild. The wood working is in my opinion, one of the best parts of this channel. So the answer for me is YES, give us the the wood!
I personally enjoy watching all the different things you do on the farm, so what it's worth film it all. CHEERS 🍻
Glad your wife is right there with you. Great team👍👍
No matter what you post it is always worth watching. Your woodworking skills will be great stuff I am sure. Thanks for the great content.
I dont care if you do woodwork, heavy machinery or cannon (who remembers that?). As a city dweller from europe, I just enjoy a honest guy having fun with every day struggle.
John,
I'm here mainly for the farming and mechanical stuff, but a day of woodworking could be fun. Have at it. It, after all, it is your channel.
Thank You for taking us on your journey. That was really pleasant. Yes, as a woodworker I would love to see how you work. Your content is very entertaining and educational. As an old equipment operator, I enjoy your machinery work.
Happy Holidays. Lowell
Was nice to see you and the wife working together, of course we know that you do, however it was nice for us to see. Cheers.
Here’s a pro tip: if you know your grease gun is empty you do not need to pull the plunger out until after you unscrew the tube. When the gun is empty there is nothing to lose and you won’t be pulling against a vacuum.
Would love to see some woodwork. You know every woodworker is also a mechanic. Love the videos!
My favorite UA-cam channel. Great music choices, too. More woodworking would be great to see, it has been a while.
Variety is the spice of life. If you decide to take up knitting I’m here for it!
You set that honey locust down to dry and burn but the truth is that if I had lived close to you I would have asked to have some of it. I’m a legally blind wood turner and when you were counting rings I couldn’t help but wonder the beautiful turnings that wood would make. I’ve never worked on it but I think it would do great for platters and vases.
Yes, I would love to see what a few turnings look like.
Came for the wood working, stayed for the heavy mechical stuff😅
Bring it on i'll watch it anyway👍
wood working turning is always appreciated
Honey locust is extremely hard but looks great in projects. My dad made each of his grandkids a rocking chair from a tree we cut on his property. Definitely requires a pilot hole for screws.
