    Rebecca is a woman of many talents I believe. I am a retired Nurse and most likely share a common dedication to helping humanity, as a Nurse or any care giver, that takes a lot of love. Here we see her toting big heavy boards, shoveling dirt, eyeing things up and just a general all around get in there and get it done person for her husband and all their goals on Country View Acres, otherwise known as home. I have a tremendous heaping of respect for you Rebecca, farm work is not for the weak or feint of heart and yet you are there in every way possible. Hats off to you and Evan, making your dreams a reality together, day by day. Oh and just to head off any disappointments, you also throw in the power of positive thinking for good measure, LOVE THAT! 💕😘 God Bless y’all!!!

    The Ranger is a perfect addition to the property. We have a Kawasaki Mule and we couldn't live without it. Way faster than one of our tractors and it won't roll over on our steep land like a tractor will. It's constantly be used for so many chores.

    I have a kawasaki mule and believe you me it's the most used piece of equipment on my small property. I use it daily to do chores from cleaning the barn to carrying feed, tools. I also haul hay bales from the fields to the barn on a 5'x10' trailer 40 bales at a time. It's 24 yes old and running strong. I'd be lost without it.

    I agree its definitely cast metal on that posthole digger attachment that broke, its a fresh break so yes it probably popped it when rocking back and forth that you mentioned. Fence looks great ! That ATV will be great for carrying sacks of feed and chainsaw and gas can of fuel when cutting down trees, etc. and lugging tools and tow chains, etc. very handy !

    I have followed about 8 channels for years now like i have yours. One channel I follow is a small family that homesteads in the Pacific North. I watched him build it for years. He then moved and started over in a dream location of his. He often gives back so many lessons that he has learned through the years. He said that if he were to start over again. The very first purchase would be a side by side. He continued by saying even over a tractor or skidsteer it would be a side by side. For the very reason you said you needed one for. Allllllll theeeee constant Mike's walking and transporting tools and project yo the four corners and far reaches of the property! This will really benefit your life's. I see you getting a bigger one as well in the future.

    I am probably wrong but on that post hole digger did it come with that bar for installing extra weights? If not, I would guess the reason that piece cracked was the extra weight up high and driving around. I would suggest after repairing it you use a ratchet strap to support the apparatus while driving around.

    Getting all this done with your plethora of handyman skills, and Rebecca's willingness to help where and when she can has got to make the process easier, but still a whole lot of work...and you have both come such a long way from when you first purchased the property. With your fabrication skills Evan, which we have seen over and over again, you sure have saved yourself a lot of money from purchasing things, and also making things to suit your needs. Rebecca is such a sweetheart, in so many ways!🙂

    Evan, you should build a small pallet for the back of the Polaris with all your tools on it. If you ever need to use the bed of the polaris for other things it would be really easy to just pick all your tools up on the pallet with the tractor and have the bed ready, empty, for whatever you want to do.
    Love the channel. I am really glad that you were able to quit your job and do this full time. You put out more videos now which is great for all of us. You have such great content. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You make me feel a lot better about myself as I have accidents and break things all the time. Nice to see that other people do it too. I have to admit that I am probably worse than you for breaking things. I am such a clutz. LOL

    Rebekah had boots on! I ended up with my dad's ATV when he upgraded to a side by side. I want a side by side, but the cost! My 2000 Kawasaki Prairie 400 still looks pretty good and runs great. So that is what I use around my property. I have a small trailer that I pull behind it. An ATV style vehicle, or side by side, is very handy.

    The fence looks good, you should take a round hay bale feeder and cut it in half (half moon) and secure it to your opening. That way you can set your round bale there and you don’t need a gate, the animals eat in the lot, cuts down on waste and you can push the hay up when they can’t get to it. Works great
