    Hi Mike. I'm from Spain. I also have a child with autism, he's 4 yo and non verbal for the moment. You're right they teach us lots of things. It's being hard, that's true, but he gives us one of the sincerest smiles you can imagine.

    Thanks Mike, this is the kind of video that just keeps on giving. I did a search on YT for the AG tires vs the R4s and this video was in the search. The info that you provided in this video is terrific and will prove to be very useful in the near future for me. Thanks again, Paul

    You folks are so genuine. I am buying my first tractor with your advice this year. It will be the RK 24. I have 5 acres that I have been working on by hand for five years.

    Great channel. Stumbled upon it while looking to clear out brush in my backyard. Realized we share a special connection after watching this video. I am a special ed teacher with 8 high school aged non-verbal autistic students. I adore my students.They teach me just as much as I am teaching them.

    Watching the daylights out of your videos, and reading tons of information on everything I can find about tractors... in this video - you lock me in discussing your dogs, Watching and Supporting - LIKING your videos, loving the transparency - I believe you are the real deal, and I am pretty good about that sort of thing - it is also most likely why you grew that fast! Best wishes for much success, always! I JOINED your network!

    Mike, well said! I enjoy your videos. You give me great information. I have only 30 acres; 15 are woods and the other is pasture. My goal is to get my property like yours. My woods are very thick and were never taken care of. I retired from the Army in October 2016 after 30 years. My only job is the caretaker of my land.I am happy and I stay in shape.

I just bought my first 102 acre property at age 30 with an older farm house... i also work as an engineer in the oil and gas industry. I have gained so much knowledge, confidence, and also ideas from your videos... I’m just getting started out but with your videos i have been able to get the correct 0 turn mower for my application, trimmers, chainsaws, and a Kubota L4060 on the way... thanks for all you do sir

    Hey Mike, I was glad I came across this video clip, where you answered a lot of the questions I was curious about. It's obviously an older video clip that you've had out for a few years now. But that's OK as I've been following you for at least 9-10 months now and really enjoy what you've put out !! You have a family that I can relate to in so many ways !! Like you I am retired, been married for nearly 53 years, have 2 children and 7 grandchildren, We were all born in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and immigrated here 42 years ago. We're all proud American citizens and live in San Diego, CA. Well, enough about me and we look forward to following you all in your very varied escapades !! God Bless, my friend !!

    Great video we just finished up planting this last weekend and heavy storms in our area near our farm outside Paris Missouri. I have to look into that grapple I have been looking at them for trail clearing and moving some of the old brush piles for burning yes we burn here as well. The storms are headed heading east so buckle up.

    Mike, great video. Answered a lot of questions I've had but never bothered asking. Here's one for you, once winter rolls around this year could you do a video on your wood heating system? With all that firewood I can't help but wonder what you've got running and how you're using it (i.e. supplemental, primary, ambiance?). Thanks.

    It’s been hot and dry here in Alabama. Which is good because I just started building our house on our property. Got the basement poured but now it’s framing time and there is a good chance of rain everyday. Glad I got the cement work done though with dry weather. Still waiting on power. Had to widen the driveway about 15 more feet for power poles. That took out about 20 more trees I wanted to keep. That was 2 weeks ago and they still haven’t ran power. Anything dealing with the county has been a real disappointment.

  • @brandonspeed3142
    @brandonspeed3142 6 років тому

    Great videos Mike, I'm curious as to how you store all of your equipment, attachments, tractors, etc. I just built myself an open front wood shed from telephone poles metal roof and pallets for walls that holds about 2 chords of firewood plus my splitter, but as my collection of saws and tractor implements gets bigger, I'm finding it hard to store everything out of the way. I really hate leaving implements out in the weather all the time and my saws etc in the floor of the garage. Any chance of you doing a video of good ways to store and maintain all of your equipment and keeping it all nice.. Every new video you post looks like equipment had never been used prior. Kudos for incredible maintenance and great upkeep on your equipment. Keep up the great videos.

    West central Minnesota, yesterday I mowed my 7 acres for the first time in the rain... Today it's calling for low 70s and sunny. I'm curious as to how you get with wood over there, if it's indoor fireplace, or a boiler or something else. I have an outdoor wood boiler and burn around 12-15 cords a year. Keep the great videos coming!

    Wet and damp In Wisconsin with more rain on the way. Mowed my yard yesterday and it was still a little mushy.
    Hear ya on the Ag tires too, I put a set of Ag tires on the back of my Kubota TG1860 mower due lack of traction with the stock turf tires. Would have went with some R4s, but being only 2wd didn’t think the R4s would have been enough for one hill I have to climb.

    Love the channel. Here’s a question for you Mike. I’ve only had one tractor, a used Kubota BX2200 with 1300+ hours on it, and I love it. Will probably upgrade a some point. RK’s tag line is “More Tractor, Less Price.” At a quick glance, that seems to be true. Is there anything you feel you are giving up with the RK vs. a similar Kubota? Would love to hear from any other RK/Kubota owners as well. Thanks again for the great videos. Oh, 90’s and humid here in Charlotte, NC; looks like a few days of rain on the way.

    You look to need a small crawler dozer or loader but your wheeled equipment is doing the job and as you point out it doesn't destroy the ground.
    Maybe a backhoe is next?

    We had tornado warning in northern Virginia last night, got 1.87 “ of rain and are in for another round tonight. Did you work on I-68 that’s the nicest drive from VA to PA lol, not a big fan of I-70. Great video, you are a professional now..
