I was born and raised 20 minutes from Boston, MA. At the age of 17, I was diagnosed with Anxiety. My personal experience with the prescribed medication was NOT POSITIVE. So I decided to find better way. I didn't know it at the time but, that was the BEGINNING for me! I have been “FINDING A BETTER WAY” in all areas in my life ever since. Better ways of how to create a modern homestead affordably, and a better way to provide my family with healthy foods, and so….. much MORE!
At Lumnah Acres we hope our experiences can help guide you to find YOUR BETTER WAY! Please join us in sharing our journey with you, let us be a guide to Modern Homesteading, Self-Sufficiency, and FREEDOM for you!

I can’t understand why anyone would do a thumbs down on your videos. They mean so much to me.
Thank you for sharing with us.
Thumbs down comes from people that are jealous and dont want anybody living a better life than them or other homesteaders that dont want lumnah acres looking better than them. JMO but what other reason could there be. If they dont like this way of living dont watch. If i'm watching something and dont like it, i just leave.
Most likely vegans that troll because of the meat. Not something to worry about though. There are way more that see the truth in a good rounded meal with meat on the plate.
Thanks.
They's just jealous you have a New Yolk City, lol!!!!! You know it's true.
@@BLHomestead i agree.
We love all your vlogs no matter what they are about.
Impressive skills Modern Homesteader.
My wife and I were wholly mesmerized through the whole video, we loved seeing it working and felt the thrill of victory along with you, thank you for recording it, lots of fun.
Awesome build. You're gonna love that V-Plow Al, being able to carry snow makes plowing so much easier. And this is the last time I want to hear about snow for a while !!!
I won't say the snow word again until it starts snowing 😂
I think you are snowing us AL ~8^)
TOO LATE Al ----- You just said it twice again. Now go and have a BLT.
Gigi Register there will always be people in the world that want to try and make someone else’s days as miserable as theirs are. Jealousy is wasted energy in my opinion. Al and his family do Great things in their videos and I love watching them and their channel grow. He does amazing work and him and his family are very hard workers. I also don’t understand why people would leave such a wholesome friendly channel a thumbs down, but then again you can’t please everyone. Gigi you have a wonderful day and Al, Gina and Olivia keep your videos coming, I love watching them and always learn new things!! XOXOXOXO
Great job & video! Reminded me of the days I use to help my stepdad with the cars & trucks lol. Sure came in handy when I became an adult & on my own.
I think Olivia would take to the mechanics side, as well as she did with the carpentry you've been teaching her. She'll appreciate having the knowledge you've taught her, when she grows up.
I'm going to have my grandkids watch yours & Justin Rhodes videos. I think they'd like them & it would be a good intro to homesteading for them.
Thank you, your wife & daughter for all the work you've done, to give us these great videos.
I was hoping to have Olivia out helping me yesterday. But with the rain we were getting I didn't think she'd enjoy that too much. I was pretty wet by the end. 😂
You are so skilled in all you do, Al! Love your new plow and look forward to seeing you use it for the first time, but not too soon! May God richly bless you and your beloveds!
I hope the new plow sits for a while too before we need it. 😂
AL WITH ALL 3 VIDEO SERIES OF THE
PLOW BUILD. YOU SIR MADE IT LOOK
WAY TO EASY TO INSTALL BY URSELF.
CONGRADULATIONZ & WELL DONE AL.
( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Lumnah Acers.....
Lol...Aww...Moose! You NEVER let us down! WE ALL LOVE YOU!
Glad i know how to do this now for the harsh Florida winters.. lol
You might be able to use it on the beach. 😂
The hogs are doing a GREAT job on that piece of land!
The new snow plow looks like it will be awesome.
Dear Al, Congratulations on doing such a professional installation on your new Boss snow plow. You really are a lot like me😎, a perfectionist. Al, I just love your try humor with your animals. I look forward to it every morning🐷. I understand you wanting to cut back on the number of days that you and your family would like to have family time👨👩👧. I’m in middle Maine and wish I had neighbor like you and your family, animals included🐔. Thanks Al & family.
Sounds like you would be a good neighbor to have too
I'm so jealous LOL I can't wait to move back to the country... I grew up on a lifestyle block in a massive farming community in New Zealand and then when I was 18 I moved to Sydney, Australia (because I like money), got married and now hubby and I are planning to buy a lifestyle block, maybe around 8-12 acres in around 3-4yrs time, not tooooo big but not too small either. I cant wait! Missing that country air. I love how you manage your little farm though, its brilliant.
I did the same thing at age 15, now im old er and want to go home, back to the smokys.. good luck.
Thanks. Yea a think a smaller farm is a lot more manageable. Are you moving back to New Zealand
@@LumnahAcres not back to New Zealand, as despite the heat, Australia is quite nice. IT'S A LOT easier to grow things in New Zealand (stick it in the ground, and it will happen! Lots of good volcanic soil). We will probably purchase land in country New South Wales (maybe 2-3 hours from Sydney). Our biggest problem to solve will be a drought management system (fancy word for tonnes of water tanks and a spring) as right now I know a loooot of farmers over here are doing it tough haven't had decent rain for around 3 seasons. It will be interesting!
That entire rig and plow set-up is nice.
Everyday I watch you open new yolk City. Then you open the big door put feed-in. I watched the chickens walk down the plank and jump into the big door. It's cute. Thanks for the fun videos.... and that Crowe still cracks me up
Gina was just saying this morning that moose's crow hasn't changed yet. 😂
Just loving your videos. Every time you feed the pigs, I hear a song in my head, “Graindrops keep falling on my head ...” 😎👍
Woo Hoo Whoop Whoop..... that will come in so handy during the winter. Great job.
Hey Al good video, you will catch on to the V-plow in no time. One bonus of the V-plow is use the forward V when piling up the snow it works well. One other tip I would recommend is getting a spacer or a piece of pipe for all those washers on the two shoes/skids if you lose a pin on those feet those washers are going everywhere, if you notice it right away you may be able to find them but likely not, having a consistent spacer on the bottom would be easier. You will be "the boss" in no time!
🐷🐐🐓🐔🍓 good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on the homestead !! 🍓🐔🐓🐐🐷
That’s a hefty looking snow plow! After seeing how much snow you got last winter, I bet having that in your arsenal feels great! Loved watching you put it together.
Yea I feel prepared for this upcoming winter
I with you on holding off on winter, but if it must be ; you my friend are prepared. Another good video.
It's much more reactive than I imagined, and fast!. Your can really articulate what you want the blade to do. Better for packing your dump areas than the straight blade. It would be fun for me to learn to use it.
Enjoyed the plow build - pretty impressive no issues when you did your test run!
The plow looks top notch. I can’t wait to see how it works! I wanna see how bright those lights are.
Glad it all worked, looked complicated to me! As you say, ‘Cool beans!’👍🏼
Aw geeze....you have all the fun toys Al. That blade is going to make pushing snow a lot easier and faster. With the truck you shouldn't even get chilly!!!! I hope it stays away for a good while but I am looking forward to the first time use video. Now you need a tarp to cover it.
You did a really good install. 1st day wiring 2ed day frame 3rd plow perfect. Thank You
Great job assembling and installing your new plow. Had it been me I am certain I would still be at the unboxing stage.
Al you made that look to easy. Good job in putting the plow together successfully. My family in PA have been getting alot of rain too. Here in San Antonio, nothing but dry and Hot we could use some of that rain.Have a Blessed day Lumnah family.
I wish I could send the rain to you instead
Those pigs are so cute sausage wanted to come out..but links was blocking the way..they know the masters voice....Al you're at last a pro farmer always lots to do...Have great day you and the girl's...Bye!🐄🐱🐐🐤👍
Very interesting...We don't have personal snow plows in Tennessee... but you make it look easy...great job thanks for sharing...
Plow looks top notch
Look into a timbren front for your truck if you think the front drops down to much with the weight of your plow. I end up putting it on my trucks.
AWESOME plow you put that together like you've done that before! love your video's! god bless!
Nice llooking plow! The V will make the first pass easy in the morning.
U shure made. That snowplow install look easy specially on the truck part hope it works as,well as. It looks!
Very good video again, you guys keep up the good work. I enjoyed this very much, and thanks again.
Great job congratulations on the new plow
Very nice! I have a straight blade on my 01 taco, and with a bit of weight in the bed it will overcome the plow springs; which are tensioned completely tight
Wow! That is really an impressively versatile plow for a home use item. Clearly, you can use it to clear to the left side, right side, or both sides. I'll be patiently waiting to see it in action.
While you're complaining about too much rain now, I was glad to wake up to cloudy skies and air largely cleared of the smoke from regional forest fires here, in the so-called 'rainy Puget Sound'. Down at sea level, the Sun has been disappearing about an hour before sunset, and we could barely make out the outline of the island that is about 3½ miles away instead of being able clearly to see the Cascade Mt. peaks that are about 20 times as far away.
Great job Al! that plow is looking awesome. Well done. :)
That is a pretty sweet plow. I'm interested to see how you like it after using it a few times. That V design looks like it should be really awesome. Especially since you can move each side independently. The pigs always crack me up. they always sleep late. hahaha
i’m so jealous of that rain!
I'll have to give you an "A" for that project, nice video, very interesting.
Thanks for taking the time to bring us along.
If your gravel road is anything like the gravel roads in Pennsylvania you are going to want to set your feet so that the blade sits a little higher, if you have them set so the blade to low you will tear up the road the first few plows till all the holes are filled in and all the high spots are pushed off the side.
nice to see how you are building your homestead up . hope you are successful
Nice job on the install !! All about saving money were you can👍
awesome vid!!!!!great job with the build and the video!
Really awesome. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden 🇸🇪
Never used a V plow. Looking forward to seeing it in use!
cool looking machine hope it works out for you. I am glad I don't have to deal with snow on a regular basis it only snows here in Alabama every few years
Now you got to think about getting prepared for maple syrup season. YUM
Looks good you will lv the wings move the snow back to the ditch,just that extra makes the difference. NO snow for a while calling for 88 this week in N. Maine.
Nice job with the plow!
Thanks for the vid! After seeing that I won't bother paying the dealer to install. Seems pretty straight forward.
well I know who I am going to see if I have a problem with my plow. You da man.
Al you have the best plow out there you did a great job with installation and get a hold of me there's one thing that you didn't get for your beautiful awesome plow you need the Ram shocks not sure if that's what there called but they make your plow extremely powerful like if you get stuck you can use the vplow to get yourself unstuck just like you would with heavy equipment so powerful I'm surprised that when you purchased it they didn't offer them to you so you will be so happy if you get them I need to stop writing before I take up an entire page LOL lol LOL love y'all PEACEFUL LIFE
I've never heard of those before. Do you have a link?
Can't wait for you to get snow ! :)
Wow that is one beefy plow. If the constant rain y’all seem to get, is any indication of the amount of snow you’re going to have, you’ll end needing it a lot. Very interesting to watch.
What a fantastic asset to the LAF. I'm sure, Al, that the BOSS plow will feel like an o'lHand in no time. Thanks for sharing! That rain is incredible !!! Was it humid too(?)!🌧🌈☀️
Nice plow... Thanks for sharing this hands-on video. Hope you don't get snow until December though . :)
WOW That's a plow !!! Great job but I can wait awhile longer to see how it works LOL
Firewood check
Plow ready check
Now I hope for a mild winter any way 😊
Great job!!!
That wouldn't hurt my feelings
Great looking plow👍🏼
You are just like my kids Dad may he rest in peace. He could do every thing just like you. Love to you.
That was so interesting ...thanks for sharing!
Top of advice when putting the plow on the 2 rotating levers that lock and unlock when your truck is in the plow mounts of the plow lock those rotating locks before you lift the plow because you’ll here 2 clicks to know when it is on fully and also it is way faster
I am interested to see you work on all the land that you had cleared. Seems like it would be overgrown with weeds by now.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.......LOL!!! I can say that because I live in MN and we got a dusting of snow today, along with SD and WI!!!
We haven't gotten any snow yet. But they are calling for some this weekend
Nice plow build series.
As well as adding a column or 2 to the trucks maintenance schedule, you also have plenty of time to plan where to put all that snow, you'll be moving, in 6 months time. It looks mighty fine. I wanted to ask if you thought of grafting, nut trees onto existing fruit tree stock for variety?- or is that possible? More likely done in the spring? Some choices may require micro-climate work. Good to see all the developments Al, great video.
great video ...love the mechanical videos.....
such a nice plow
That is a nice piece of equipment.
You really need a good size pole barn. Give you a place to put all your expensive equipment and a place to work. You could sell the idea to the mrs by making a dedicated place for her to park out of the snow. Then turn the basement into a man cave;) I'd go big as possible. I always find I got 10x more junk than I think I do.
It won't take long to get used to the v plow. Once you do you will be very happy you have it.
I hope your right.
Super AL rain or shine cold or hot he has it all under control
Be safe, have fun
That’s the same plow that I have on my Tundra and it does a great job.
How does your tundra handle it? I'm thinking of getting one
thank you for sharing....great video....
Very informative
Doing good. Youre getting there
Looks like a nice plow
Good job!!!
Good work! I wish you could donate some of that rain to the west coast.
Idk how you do all this stuff by yourself but I think it's awesome
A V plow you will love it so much better than a straight.
Congrats on spoiling yourself😂😂. With all you do you needed it for sure. Have a good weekend cause its coming soon.
OH YA -SNOW why would you say such bad words😂😂😂😂
I know I hate saying it too. But we know it's inevitable
Good job
You did a beautiful job assembling it, and you did it without reading the manual. *wink*
Time to pick on you (again) about your new field. Pick, pick, pick, pick
Glad u know what u r doing it would have taken me forever lol
sure gonna rock pushing snow .from in the truck.........
Missed your video yesterday 😢 Your plow is so pretty!!! How many hours did it take to put it all together and prepare your truck?
A good 10 hours including filming. 😂
Good channel 👍
The turkeys are getting noticeably bigger. I think they'll be good to go by November.
You certainly plowed ahead on that project AL ~8^) ...... take care.
Great video it is informative. I am thinking about buying a plow as well. How did you get it shipped to you versus having a dealer install it for you. If you could answer that would be great thank you.
Actually, I'd like it if you did a little vijeo on the theory and operation of that kind of plow. It looks a lot like the big boys type of plow that municipalities use. Also, where is the hydraulic pump? Is it that electrically powered box on the back of the plow? If the hydraulic pump is electrically powered, did you have to beef up your alternator or battery on the truck?
Yes the hydraulics are powered by the truck's electrical system. I don't think you have to, but it wouldn't hurt to have a 2nd battery or better alternator.
God I love winter, as much as I love gardening. Winter haters bring it on. Lol
While you're waiting for snow . . . you could use it to grade your new piece of land . . . might work . . . cheers.
Lol. That might be hard on the truck
You will love the v blade. It allows you to get into tighter spaces and cleans up better too. I was wondering what size crate do the pigs sleep in?
It's around 4x4
If it weren't for that one part where you had to widen the holes in order to get the braces to fit, this would've been a great Boss ad.
I'm stumped why that was necessary... and curious if it was a problem Boss knows about? Was it a "hey, you might have to do this for certain truck models" in the manual, or did you have to figure it out by yourself?
Anyway, congrats on the install job!
I definitely would have had to pay somebody to do it.
It looks to be a sweet tool to have.
