    Glad that was an easy fix. Thanks Pops for helping them with the batteries. Only burn pine in a bon fire to much creosote. Need hard wood for warm wood stove fires. Oak, Maples. ❤

      I heard from the last video it was Rachel and Sean from Back to Good ‪@B2GOG‬ who gave them their old batteries from their RV for the fix. I don't think that Popz was their savior this time, although he has performed many other miracles for these Homesteaders! Love you Popz

      You can use pine but only on a hot fire with a hot chimney...it burns the creosote and it doesn't build up like in a brick chimney.
      I agree the stove chimney needs to run inside the barn as far as possible to extract the most heat from the fire.
      I see alot of "old wives tales" posted that have been shown to not be entirely true.

      @GBuds_RVremodel we had a woodstove in our house in Michigan and 2 insulated pipes going through house to outside and the creosote made a mess of our pipes.

    You can use that for kenneling to start the fire cause it burns hot so your fire can start faster. You can use the pine. We use it for starting our fires.

    That’s what I would do dig another hole right there in that sink hole that you found put the stuff in the hole burn it and then fill it back up the ash from the trees will put nutrients into the ground that you need because it’s a lot of clay there

    So happy you got the backhoe fixed. I enjoy watching your vlogs . Thanks for inviting us to follow you on your homestead journey.
    Last video I watched you had mentioned you need a name for the backhoe.
    My suggestions would be
    1. Fierce or fiesty Frieda or
    2. Big Bertha/ Bula
    3. Tornado.
    Because she can uproot and knock down things just like a tornado
    Just a few suggestions...

    Glad you know not to burn pine. I have missed a lot of your videos. Have you insulation on your ceiling? Do you have a fan blowing down from there to push the heat down? My stove goes for maybe 4 hour, then it needs filling. I'm in Wisconsin, where it is now 20 some degrees. My home is a very old brick cheese factory. Cement floor, so I am always putting wood in.. Good luck staying warm. Lots of warm clothes and blankets!! No matter, country life is the best!!

He's got an old ford 555 that he's been bringing back to life and got a manual thumb for it that he added to his hoe, it was cheap and he shows how he fixed it to his machine and where he got it from. Stay safe you guys and keep it going

    Hello every one

  • @GBuds_RVremodel
    @GBuds_RVremodel 18 днів тому +8

    Here's a suggestion from my career in the aviation industry.
    All those loose and dangling wires should be shielded and firmly attached up tight to the engine and not be hanging loose.
    When dealing with used equipment, you should assume that the previous owner/operator had no idea what they were doing past using the tool til it quit.
    I know you just jumped on this thing and beat it against anything until it showed you its weak spot.
    Just like the hoses, the wiring should be mounted securely and out of harms way.
    Just like every capitalist manufacturer, they bu>ld these things with designed weak spots...they know where they are but it's not always evident.
    Part of my job was fixing those type issues on aircraft...it's not different on any construction equipment.
    Glad you followed the signs and tracked down the failure. Lots of satisfaction in fixing something and discovering weak spots to address into the future

      My dad built the big airplane, he believed the same principle, if he built us a go cart or anything mechanical, that’s how he did it. No danglies so we wouldn’t get hurt either.
      Great job, loved the video.

    @valeriek5020 18 днів тому

    John Deere’s farm equipment comes with a lot of computers. When something simple in one of its tractors or threshers breaks, a farmer can’t just fix it themselves. Even if the farmer has the technical and mechanical know-how to make a simple repair, they often have to return to the manufacturer at great expense. Why? The on-board computers brick the machines until a certified Deere technician flips a switch. John Deere equipment was so hard to repair that it led to an explosion in the used tractor market. Old farm equipment made before the advent of onboard computing sold for a pretty penny because it was easier to repair.

      Burning pine creates an oily substance in the smoke called creosote. It can collect in the chimney and cause a chimney fire. Very dangerous!
