Great content Laura !! Thank you!! I worked on a surface coal mine for 43 years as field mechanic. The last job I worked on had 797 CAT trucks in service. They were loaded by a CAT 994 wheel loader and a O&K hydraulic shovel. Wonderful machines to watch getting it done !!! You all be careful and God bless !!!! Eddy ( Virginia)
I grew up in Pennsylvania where these GIANT trucks, cranes, bulldozers and steam shovels are used mining coal. The Steam Shovel had to be shipped in in pieces and built on sight, because the roads can't handle the weight or size. When it moved the whole town would shake. It is amazing technology. While I really like seeing you in your green Carhart coveralls, I have to admit you shine up really nice. You looked beautiful at the expo.
I too grew up in that world. I remember going into the Joy Manufacturing plant in Franklin, PA and looking down their assembly line. Looked like a mile long. Some of their gear was just other worldly..
When I was a little kid I called the big excavators "Steam Shovels". I think it was from a kids book about a tiny steam shovel that the big shovels made fun of. of course as an older person someone loudly said that shovels are no longer operated using steam. Your post brought back memories lost for many years, thank you it made me smile. :)
We use are mid size Telahandler for everything from loading the feed truck with silage to grading the road, pulling stuck cattle out of mud, loading and unloading hay , lifting seed bags over our planter to fill it up, anything and everything. It fits perfect in the agricultural setting.
Bravo Gage! You have a natural talent for content creation! Very very good narration to what you’re doing. Some of the biggest equipment operators with channels on UA-cam would do well to take a page from your book. 🔥🔥❤️💯🚜
As a 30 year Las Vegas resident, thank you for pronouncing Nevada correctly. Nebraska schools coming through again. #GBR Mine Expo is a cool show. Having worked in 7 underground facilities, I was able to attend Mine Expo and the machinery is amazing.
My dad retired from caterpillar I got to see and operate a lot of fantastic equipment. The best time was going to see the big Muskie the largest walking dragline ever.
Saw you on RFD TV. Promoting Tractor Tuesday. I grew up in rural central Nebraska. My sister and brother-in-law still live on the family farm/ranch. Enjoy your videos. Think of your family when driving by Aurora on my way out to the ranch.
To get rid of a mulberry tree sapling: I devised this method. Cut off the mulberry sapling about 6” above the ground. Put about a TBSP full strength roundup in a small sandwich bag with a paper towel inside, turn the bag over and place on the stump and wrap with a rubber band. Done! I earned that some people put roundup on stumps like this but rain will wash it off so, the baggy and towel keep it in place. I prep the baggy before I go out to the tree…
Tordon RTU works super. Just pour a little out of the bottle to cover the cut on the stump. Done. Needs to be put on within a few minutes of cutting the tree. Tree will suck it in and it disappears within minutes.
There has got to be a “Work Clothes Manufacturer” knocking on Gages door , getting him to test wear ‘Work Tough Clothes’ that does not rip or tear , every time Gage gets into tight spot !
When I was still a tadpole my Granny raised Manx cats, they were great hunters and companions and got along fine with our bear dogs and other pets, even my pet duck RINGO.
My first job was working on a coal mine, 5th generation. I mostly ran the small swivel Bell trucks but I did get to drive a CAT 777 once and it was mind blowing. They're all automatic transmission and have power steering, so very easy to drive actually, just frightening because of how far up you are. Driving on mountain tops is something unique too. We once got permits to drive them on the highway to move them from one mine site to another. They easily did 45 mph on paved roads and take up both lanes of the highway. The Euclid trucks have electric rear dive and the noise they make when it engages can be heard a mile away. Watching such big machines never gets old.
Gage, holy crap! Excellent demonstration video! You handled the mudhole like a boss. Now if you can break Laura from spilling corn and Grant from stealing batteries.
Who put a nickle in Gage?? Holy crap! You are da man Gage! You are a natural at promoting and marketing! You probably did that better than someone from JLG could have done! And off script. Just off the top of your head! Great job buddy! JLG probably has a job opening for you! Laura better give you a raise!
I have a hard time wrapping my head around how big that equipment is holy cow I’ve never seen such equipment like that. Thanks Laura Grant very interesting. I really appreciate it.
I got to ride in one of those big mine dump trucks at a copper mine in Baghdad AZ. It is like sitting on a porch roof and driving a three story house around.
I can't help it but your are gorgeous in that out fit. I must say you are magnificent in your day to day gear as well. I have been following you and family for quite some time. I have learned a lot about farming and what it takes to keep all the equipment running.
FYI:If you want to see a piece of mining equipmment there is a BE Bucyrus Erie 1850-B stripping shovel that weighs 10 milion pounds,stand about 160 feet tall & has 90 yard dipper currently sitting in West Mineral,Kansas.Or Sparwood,B.C where the only 350ton Terex 33-19 ever built is sitting
@@prof1982 I meant her work attire. Laura is a beautiful young lady no matter what she's wearing. She's such a sweetheart and very kind. Brought up right.
Hay Laura, my Dad and Grandpop were the 2nd largest potato producers in the north east from 1936 to 1968 when Grandpop passed away and dad quit in 1969. I farmed on shares with the neighbor who leased our farm for 6years. I got my commercial driver’s license on the farm and went trucking after I left the farm. Fast forward 38 years, my wife had a stroke so I quit trucking and applied at the coal mine where we live now in North East Pennsylvania and now I drive a 100 ton haul truck in the Anthrasite mine here in town.
I've run heavy equipment in Vegas for 23 years. Mostly loaders and dozers. I've run every sized loader from the smallest 4-series Bobcat to Cat 999's at a mine site. Dozers up to a Cat D11. I run big stuff, but some of the mine stuff is truly massive. I really would love to get on some of the massive stuff. It's great to have a job you love that pays very well ( Local 12 ).
My Dad worked for Cummins back in the Day. He worked on those huge haul trucks. The Cummins powered a generator which powered the electric motors on each wheel. They were used at the open pit mines here in Arizona
I hope you guys will be able to get a jlg of your own, they looked like a God sent. Yiu guys are young and have a long ways to go, you don't wanna blow your backs and knees.
Great vid. Well timed as in UK our national motorcycle show starts this weekend definitely smaller but just as cool lol, and it’s my annual trip with my son. So now I’m super excited. Gage did a great job. I can see a Gage-Ag channel in his future as he continues to polish his presentation skills. We all love machines !!!
My dad used to maintain those behemoths. Logistics aside, they are actually relatively easy to work on because of their size, but you don't want to go bumping your head on any surface on those things!
75 gallons for a oil change. Something like 12 filters for a service. Wait till you see one of those coming down a hill loaded and sideways. I used to have those 777 pull my drill rig out when I would get stuck.
We went to a celebration at then Cortez Gold Mine near Elko. They had just received a fleet of Liebherr diesel-electric haul trucks that can haul 400 tons. They were powered by a 3600Hp diesel generator and could climb out of the pit at 30mph fully loaded. One of my friends got to drive one.
I must say you look stunning young lady. Great video. That equipment is HUGE, I could not imagine driving that dump truck. Not sure how you could see around the outside of that thing. You could run something over and never have a clue. JLG needs to hook Laura up for all her Promotion of their product.
Its happened before a worker parks his pickup behind the haul truck without radioing the operator and the operator backs over the pickup killing the guy.
Big fan Laura and Grant of the channel even though I don’t know a lot about farming I always enjoy what you guys do and appreciate the hard work you put into to fixing the equipment, towing, and the crops of course. Here in 🇨🇦 I work in a mine and work on the CAT 797 and Komatsu 980’s as well as others. It’s a great job and was cool to see this video. When they break down or get stuck they actually have a Tow Haul truck made out of a 797, it’s pretty cool and hooks up to the front to pull
It's easy to get used to operating those big trucks, in a big open area, they don't seem as big when you drive them. I used to drive big machines in mines. Best time of my working life.
I really like the different content in your latest videos. I like and am very interested in all kinds of machinery; and all three of you are very good at demonstrating and showing equipment.
That's what I used to do is move that equipment they only use that equipment for mining and with the effort it takes to move something like that when it arrives to it's location it usually stays there for years
I have seen one massive dump truck as display at Diamond Valley Lake near the museum building. It was used for creating a large water reservoir with man-made dams that was built several years ago. Yeah, it is so huge that I could swear it is a good place to live in “permanent”. Don’t know if it is allowed but I could visualize it.
It’s really neat to see this big equipment in person. Until you walk up to the equipment a person can’t grasp how big it is. Laura I hope you and your husband have a great vacation. You will love the telehandler. Personally I would go with the larger models for capacity. Stay safe!😊
Good afternoon from Alaska. Just wanted to let you know that I have seen this kind of equipment before my boys work at Fort Knox Goldmine north of town here and they have that kind of equipment that they work with. Have a good day and we’ll see you next
That dump truck and excavator is just what you need when you want to dig your new swimming pool with one scoop and carry away the dirt in one load. Scoop, dump, done!
I worked on bigest hydraulic P&H shovel made in USA here in Aussie at Mt Newman that was 1975 gess there much bigger now at time couldnt reach top of pad stand next to lay on pass with arms stretched out couldn't touch sides but RIPPA LAURA you & Grant rock
I say amazing demonstration and the great performance you guys have performed with the equipment with your permission to use your clips from your videos for a commercial JLG should allow you guys to keep the equipment if you shall choose . It would definitely be a good business decision on their part to continue to partner up with you as you use their equipment they would continue to get advertisement. Thank you for your amazing videos. Stay safe and may you continue to be blessed.
We have 2 JCB telehandlers on the farm her in the UK and probably get used more more than anything else on the farm .I have only ever had JCB but a telehandler of any make is a very useful piece of equipment.
JLG needs to hire Gage.
Let's make them
Laura proud of you for giving Cage air time!
Laura and Grant what an Asset Gage is. Good young man and a good hard worker.
Stellar sure knows a wonderful spokeswoman when they see one . Great job Laura . You sure do clean up nice .
she's beautiful
"I've never gotten stuck in this, and I've gotten stuck in a lot of stuff" Great endorsement! 👍
as they flash back to last video and him half submerged in the skidsteer lol

Two days out of school I was working in the strip mines.
All big equipment!
Same in Wyoming, also for coal

Loved watching Gage come into his own in the video ...I'm sure he is a very valuable assett to Laura Farms
He does a fantastic job in narrating and recording!
Great job, Gage! You are a natural in front in the camera.
Just spent 18 minutes of my life watching Gage pull up trees mesmerized. I guess that's okay.
I was thinking the whole time, "I have so many trees on my land that I'd like to do this to."
Great video. I liked your JLG video demo of their uses and capabilities. The mining equipment was huge. Wow! Laura, Grant, and Gage great reviews
Gage, you should be a JLG salesman!
Great job!
Great segment Gauge
Bravo Gage! You have a natural talent for content creation! Very very good narration to what you’re doing. Some of the biggest equipment operators with channels on UA-cam would do well to take a page from your book. 🔥🔥❤️💯🚜
As a 30 year Las Vegas resident, thank you for pronouncing Nevada correctly. Nebraska schools coming through again. #GBR
Mine Expo is a cool show. Having worked in 7 underground facilities, I was able to attend Mine Expo and the machinery is amazing.
I've lived here since '92, Nevada is a Spanish word. Not an American word. It should be pronounced as such.
My dad retired from caterpillar I got to see and operate a lot of fantastic equipment. The best time was going to see the big Muskie the largest walking dragline ever.
Thanks for sharing your life with us and taking us along!
Cool equipment!!😊
You are very comfortable as a show host, Laura!
Great content.
Cat’s quiet Achiever ,Gage thanks for the demo of the JLG, Larua grant . Great machines and attachments for farming and forestry.
Absolutely great job gauge that’s unreal. What that thing can do and you sound so excited and you should be.
Despite the massive and impressive equipment, Laura remains the most amazing.
Saw you on RFD TV. Promoting Tractor Tuesday. I grew up in rural central Nebraska. My sister and brother-in-law still live on the family farm/ranch. Enjoy your videos. Think of your family when driving by Aurora on my way out to the ranch.
I always find such interesting shows on there when I come across it.
Laura…Elegance personified 👍🏻🤩😄
Classiest spokeswomen they ever had. Wonderful job.

I hope y’all get another one. Those things are so useful. We’ve rented them several times and Gage is right, they’re beasts
There has got to be a “Work Clothes Manufacturer” knocking on Gages door , getting him to test wear ‘Work Tough Clothes’ that does not rip or tear , every time Gage gets into tight spot !

Really enjoyed Gages dialogue..
Until you see this stuff in person you cannot fully appreciate the size of these beasts. Great job guys.
Gage, holy crap! Excellent demonstration video! You handled the mudhole like a boss. Now if you can break Laura from spilling corn and Grant from stealing batteries.

I had to watch the 1st part a 2nd time to see the equipment.
Stunning as always Laura.
Great commentary Gage!
Those JLG telehandlers were game-changers! You all showed exactly how versatile they are, from pulling trees to shop projects 👏🚧
I have a hard time wrapping my head around how big that equipment is holy cow I’ve never seen such equipment like that. Thanks Laura Grant very interesting. I really appreciate it.
Thanks Laura For Taking Us All Along It Was A Blast!! Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️

Laura, I think Josh is having way too much fun. Thanks for Sharing! 🙃🙂
Great job Gage! If you ever leave farming, I am sure JLG will have a sales job waiting for you.
I can't help it but your are gorgeous in that out fit. I must say you are magnificent in your day to day gear as well. I have been following you and family for quite some time. I have learned a lot about farming and what it takes to keep all the equipment running.
Awesome content as always! Great job, Laura, Grant, and Gage-such a great team.

My god, those tires o.O how do they make something so big...what an impression they must make when you're up close....Great video lau!!
Great video, keep covering this kind of stuff please.
JLG has always been my Go-To for man lift equipment. Once you JLG, you never go back!
I've always been a big fan of JLG working in the trades I've been on almost all there equipment and it's all been quality.
Fun and awe inspiring video of all this equipment. We don't get to see you dressed up like this often Laura and you look absolutely beautiful.
Laura cleans up nice
She's beautiful even in her farm entire working the fields. The beauty shines from within.
Ya she does
I've never seen her in farm attire ,always in casual .
@@prof1982 I meant her work attire. Laura is a beautiful young lady no matter what she's wearing. She's such a sweetheart and very kind. Brought up right.
@Tracker7266 😂🤣😂🤣
Thank you for showing us all that amazing machinery!😮😊
Those huge dump trucks etc… are the toys in my hometown in Northern MN… “mining equipment”
Hay Laura, my Dad and Grandpop were the 2nd largest potato producers in the north east from 1936 to 1968 when Grandpop passed away and dad quit in 1969.

What happened to tree windbreaks to reduce soil erosion?

Great job, Gage! I'm sure being the camera man/narrator at the same time as trying to do your job is not as easy as it looks.
Thanks Gage. Well done
I hope you guys will be able to get a jlg of your own, they looked like a God sent. Yiu guys are young and have a long ways to go, you don't wanna blow your backs and knees.
The contrast of your beautiful femininity and the massive earth movers is quite captivating. Love your enthusiasm as well
Gage is really great at demonstration of things.
Must be something watching them bring all that equipment into the buildings for the show.
Laura and Grant those MACHINES at the MINE EXPO......Holy smokes!!!!!! Huge!!!!!
hi laura! i love your videos and you are so cool!!!
@ you arent the real laura…
Fun tour.

Just think how much corn 🌽 you could transport on the back of that dumper truck 😮 cracking video as usual
Laura is the GOAT
75 gallons for a oil change. Something like 12 filters for a service. Wait till you see one of those coming down a hill loaded and sideways. I used to have those 777 pull my drill rig out when I would get stuck.
Great Video Laura,Grant & Gage they are nice pieces of equipment to have around I'm sure !

Gage would make a great salesperson. I like his safety awareness too, not digging near a natural gas line.

Stellar is a big company doing big work with big machines.
Holy cow. Who got you ready for this gig. You look fabulous.
Good job gage keep up the good work on the farm
Even Pepper wants some LMNT!!!
Wow Laura Fantastic Video !00% to you for your content in all your Vlogs,

I was there 2 months ago when they started setting up for that. It takes weeks to set up that trade show
Stellar job, thanks.
Good afternoon from Alaska. Just wanted to let you know that I have seen this kind of equipment before my boys work at Fort Knox Goldmine north of town here and they have that kind of equipment that they work with. Have a good day and we’ll see you next
It’s amazing what a fresh coat of paint will do
Gage did a good job showing that tellahandle
That dump truck and excavator is just what you need when you want to dig your new swimming pool with one scoop and carry away the dirt in one load. Scoop, dump, done!
