A Little Drama

[@patriciablanton6243]

Winter time is maintenance time on the farm, sharpening, oiling, cleaning up and getting rid of things you don't need. Buggy is so precious and Elizabeth's so adorable. Buggy is going to be one smart and capable young lady, capable of doing so many things, Elizabeth will be the same. The boys will be amazing young men. You're both doing an awesome job with them.

[@gloriabond123]

I’m so glad you have Buggy to help you. It won’t be long until you have Elizabeth out there too.

[@ChristinaMoore79]

Love Corbin's shirt: "Compost your enemies." Frickin' perfect. Always a joy to see Buggy hanging out with Dad.

[@maryh8230]

😅😅😅 David the Good t-shirt.

[@gilbertholden69]

I don't know about the green slime tire product but I know Sears used to make a tire additive that was excellent back when I had my small engine repair service that conditioned the tires as well as sealed up any possible flats even with people who lived around Locust trees all the time I never had any flats with this stuff in their tires. Plus it conditions the tires from the inside out so they last years longer usually.

[@carolcalf2032]

Little buggy cleaning up with dad and brother. She will know so much by the time she is grown up. She will be our homesteading expert . The boys all working together as a family to make things happen great video.

[@diananore1368]

And I was thinking that editing the video will help them find where she moved stuff…😂

[@TobyCatVA]

I find it hard to believe Marvelous Meg ever burns stuff. I on the other hand . . . The running joke when I would cook was that the smoke alarm would go off and my kids would all shout "Dinners done!"

[@roxannahendrix3036]

That is so cute. 😅😅

[@ritawelch4949]

Aww...no they didn't do that to Mom!?

[@DebraCarey-h5t]

And here I thought it was only me and mine that said that. lol

[@karenshepherd2412]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@karenshepherd2412]

Gee in my household that's what happens when my husband gets near the stove. 😮

[@lolmlw2001]

I don't mind maintenance videos I find them quite enjoyable and satisfying.

[@Katmcali]

Little Elizabeth is such a beautiful baby girl! Just so precious. ❤

[@karenshepherd2412]

I think she looks like buggy. She is very pretty. I don't think I've ever heard her cry. That's a blessing. ❤

[@marking-time-gardens]

It is a great blessing that you have the knowledge, skills and youth to be able to do this matenance! Blessings on your family and your growing homestead Kiddos!🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕

[@Rule1336]

15:26. Sweet T shirt Munchie! Love the message. I got one from The Texas Boys. Says" Go green. Compost a globalist." IYKYK. Be blessed y'all. Yashua Rules!

[@debbyshowalter6193]

I just love buggie ! She loves to work with Daddy ! Bless her heart 🙏🏻

[@bonniealtizer2542]

Always learning. Baby is beautiful. Such a fantastic family. I learn something every time I watch. Thanks😊

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

"The more stuff you own, the more your stuff owns you." is spot on! 3 vehicles in the shop, loader, zero turn, side by side and livestock trailer all down...

[@heatherk8931]

😊 Ben, you are so right on staying caught up on maintenance! As I type this: fix corner fence posts, put bbq lines back together (repair shop didn't do it, jerk!), clear out the drain in my sunroof so it quits leaking into my car, pull weeds n shovel up compost, rebuild flowerbed bricks in my front yard (2019😢), put my washer back together, and rodent proof garage so the washer lines are safe..... on top of the regular stuff!❤🎉 Its 8/29/24, have fun tomorrow yall❤❤❤

[@josephpedone2004]

Hello Hollar family ☕️ happy Thursday 😎👍

[@di_tattoolover]

I love that Buggy is a real Daddies girl. She always following You around like your shadow. So cute,

[@nanaof07]

So nice to see your children maintenance and taking care of things that are broken. It's becoming a lost art. I'm 63 and i see the decline, but so is the quality of things!

[@Offgridlee444]

Love that Little Buggy, what a sweetheart! Elizabeth is growing so fast, such a beautiful family! TFS ❤

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Three men and a little girl and the job is done. Love maintenance videos. See you tomorrow on the podcast. Have a Blessed evening.

[@TheBcrug]

Good to see the boys right in there helping/learning!

[@dugel3]

I cracked up when Ben thought his brakes were locked up and then realized it was the wheel chock! And when he commented that it was getting hot outside I thought to myself that he needed a canopy and a fan. Immediately he set up a canopy and a fan! There are definitely worse things in life than being on the there are definitely worse things in life than thinking the same thing as Ben Hollar lol.

[@DavidRobinson-mx6cl]

Awesome , yeah maintenance is easy to fall behind on and harder to get caught back up on for sure !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️

[@lillianperry6451]

Elizabeth is so beautiful. Maintenance is a pain and it doesn't pay to put it off. You have my sympathy.

[@kenadamson4535]

My wife (and I) love Brett's T-Shirt at about 15:26 in the video about "Compost" ... where can we get some like it ... thank's ... love the video, gotta change tires on a lawn tractor and belts on a yard tractor and some other end of year projects, know the feeling about a little drama ... great videos as always and always helpful and entertaining ... kids are growing too fast but that's the way it goes ... Buggy is a hoot and I have a feeling Elizabeth will be just as much fun as she gets older and "more involved" ... God's love you you all !!

[@alexcarrn28]

I love it, "COMPOST YOUR ENEMIES. "

[@claudettehernandez3402]

I’m the maintenance Cryer for the JD tractor mower-we have now replaced All 5 pulleys in the past year (#5 transmission). When your kitten stops purring, you know right away. Transmission made -breaking noises but not losing power. Had to wait for the break. No cutting then. $25 later, purring.

[@jerrygibs8120]

Ben, I can relate. Overdue maintenance seems to hide and then chases me down screaming about overdue maintenance problems, 🤪🙃😬yikes fix me now.😮Blessings of safety, health, strength, DISCERNMENT, and success in Jesus's Name. ❤☝🙏🙌💪

[@Tia-vj9ox]

It is fascinating watching you improvise and repair everything!❤

[@adelbertlundberg7411]

Mama told me, that there would be days like this. I truly understand when hiccups come your way and you were not thinking of problems that creep in. One step forward, two step back. But you got it done.

[@alicegilbert4186]

Thanks for letting us visit

[@sharoncochran8508]

Its always a good time to spend time with the Hollars!

[@marypritchett115]

Compost your enemies wins best homestead t-shirt award, hands down! 😂

[@cherylb.9766]

I know I wanted one! Not sure if I could wear it without laughing though

[@Danny-o5b]

Romans 8:20-21 NKJV🧡 [20] For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; [21] because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 💖💖💖

[@patriciaherman6499]

Ben, been where you are when we first started out farming to get the right tools to fix our equipment talk about the expense of course this was 50+ years ago just like today's prices are out of whack. Have a great time at the Homesteaders Festival and have a great weekend. Safe travels. Blessings to you and the family. 😊🇺🇲

[@edieboudreau9637]

Hi. Maintenance is definitely part of life and putting it off definitely creates drama. 😂 Maintenance is required on our bodies, our equipment, our vehicles, our homes, our families, our faith, our egos, our choice of how we view everything going on ... Yes. Patience is key and NOT PROCRASTINATING. 😂 You remind me of me. 😂

[@tammyr2966]

Well said!

[@tammyr2966]

My dad was always on top of maintenance for vehicles and lawnmowers and tools! He always said this popular saying “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!” My dad is gone now, but he’s always in my mind reminding me of stuff. I’ve been trying to get that to sink into my two adult sons, when they have car problems that could have been easily fixed if they had listened to grandpa and mom! But now they are just learning the hard way, like we all sometimes do! I just keep praying for them! You got some hard jobs done and I bet you feel better for it! A little bit here and there and you will get it done! That quick meal looked delicious Meg! Buggy was so cute, helping clean! Baby is just as sweet and cute as always! The boys are such good kids in all they do around the home! You just have an amazing family!

[@gretaknebel8495]

You are very right on keeping up with maintenance. I’m paying the price now for not getting it done on time.

[@evalinawarne1337]

Friday eve will be such a BLESSING. I'M To far to come. We're getting another storm Thursday Many are still without power since Tues. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏 . CIAO SE MICHIGAN 🙏 ❤❤❤❤ See you on FRIDAY🎉🎉 SHOPTALK 🎉

Famous last words "It's really simple" :)

[@camicri4263]

Good to see you beautiful people! Blessings!

[@bobwilliams5506]

Harbor Freight has a very good small tire changing station. It's excellent for smaller tires.

[@denneweld4829]

Baby is beautiful. Such a fantastic family.

[@buffeysarber836]

Love your video work as always Ben & Meg! So nice to see the boys and Buggy pitch in to help!!!! She saw dad cleaning a space to work and she was all in to help! 🥰 thank you for sharing your maintenance work. We all struggle with that so do not feel bad! God bless your family! ❤

[@cynthiabolick3892]

Hello Family, tks for video. Mercy so hot outside, but you manage to get things done.Much love to ya'll....

[@StellaMooney-qf9ff]

Next time you have to change tires someone told my husband when he was changing tires to put vaseline around your tire to help it pop out. He tried it and it worked great on some tractor tires.

[@bobwilliams5506]

LOve the Compost Your Enemies shirt!

[@dianemaybee5635]

Compost your enemies... :) mmm roasted potatoes and sausages...love hearing your prayer before you eat...God bless you all!

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Q- How many Hollars does it take to change a tire? A- Almost all of them! 😁 Excellent team effort homesteaders!

[@NancyMorse]

It’s a good thing Ben is a jack of all trades. I guess you have to be when you homestead.

[@josephdobesh9007]

Soapy water also works good for getting your bead to seal.

[@badroolshaw2638]

Love seeing bright eyes at the beginning buggy is so helpful

[@MargieWolff]

Ben, just think of all the fun you might have missed out on by having a new one.. always enjoyable/and most of the time I learn something !

[@BulletproofPastor]

Brakes: What works for me is..... tighten until the drum starts dragging, then back off one click. Do both sides, then road test. Generally I don't have to go back to re-adjust.

[@MrDub247]

I put solid rubber front tires on my zero turn and never looked back. best decision ever

[@ilene9349]

The boys got to help you, and they learned something 🤗❣️

[@SandraNelson063]

Your little Rose Bud is cute as a button. No fixing needed!😊 I hear a bluejay hollering in the background. Means you've got big trees.

[@teriswenson960]

My husband is a vintage car guy and we homestead. I understand the improvised tools and the struggles. He had changed/fixed many tires in less than stellar situations. We reuse, repurpose, fix as much as possible. It is a blessing to know how.

[@amilynnstapay796]

Learning experience everywhere is awesome! Your son's t-shirt at 15:25 is excellent! "Compost your enemies" Most excellent!

[@anserafers8088]

Reminds me of servicing my VW beetle .. tip was to adjust them till tight then back them all off same amount of clicks 😅

[@NanaPelletier]

Oh my gosh! I think the older boys had a growth spurt. They both looked a foot taller sitting at the dinner table!!

[@shadegarden7375]

Yep, especially with the kids driving the golf cart breaks are a safety issue!! Gotta have good breaks on a vehicle!

[@dr3406]

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Hope you all enjoyed the shindig!!! Have a blessed day! 💕💗💕

[@trpatt1969]

That brought back memories. I'm pretty sure I began learning the bad words helping my dad put inner tubes in lawn mower tires!

[@brokenmeats5928]

I love ALL The Hollar Homestead videos!

[@eldaremington341]

You now know that cart from end to end.

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

repair day is awesome i love this video hugsssss

[@tradermunky1998]

You're always fixing stuff! Me too 😂

[@sharondoan1447]

Ben , I admire the example you set for your children. You solve problems of all kinds with focused determination. Today it’s stubborn equip that that does not cooperate with your maintenance efforts . Too many men would be carrying on like a toddler having a temper tantrum and spewing bad language . Your children are blessed to have a father who exercises self control when the job proves frustrating.

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

What really sucks is putting the tire on and then leaning it's on backwards... yeah, did that 😬

[@StoneKathryn]

I finally caught up on your videos last night. Brakes on golf cart need readjusting. Yup, no braking isn't great. Safety hazard is a good reason to get to the "fussy" stuff. Brakes again! Oops! Brakes locked on. Darn! I'm glad waffies came to the rescue. You got the brake set satisfactorily. Good job! Lawn mower work! Tires and bearings need replacing. Wheel bearings bad too? I'm glad you had a replacement hub for that one that the hub was bad. That did look hard to put the new tire on. Wow, that one wheel didn't want to come off. I'm glad you finally got it off. Dry sleeve on that wheel. Good thing you had a good one from the bad hub wheel! I'm so glad the boys helped! I'm glad you're greasing up the front of the lawn mower. Yup, sausage nestled in seasoned potatoes. I made some hobo potatoes on the grill last week and they were so good. So great for summer and grilling. Great dinner Meg! Thanks for this maintenance issue video of the Hollar family!

[@gilliandejong1459]

No worries Ben can't do it all in one day. ❤

[@gailbrault9251]

Ben and Meg, I am retired, and I am busy every day. I have to do lists always. 😊

[@LB-gr7gu]

Enjoy the precious moments .. Missy Buggy wants Daddy to pick her up ❤ You and Meg enjoy you galavanting 😅

[@farmernledell]

Maintenance is never fun or easy BUT the longer ya wait the harder it is to get busted or bent things apart 😩ask me how I know 🤪

[@scythiandiaspora9531]

Man, I feel so sorry for Meg

[@simoneconsciousobserver3105]

I think its pretty darn kewl that you are making that golf cart work on your homestead, I didn't realize they were that sturdy

[@rosiesgrandma]

I just so enjoy coming to you your channel and sharing everyday life it is calming and the way I grew up. I come from farm folk that was self-sufficient and independent. My grandmother grew up on a farm they did not have a boy to number 7 she would home outlet cylinder like they did on the tractors put it back together and off she go. We didn't have gender specifics in our family. Even the women were jack of all trades in the master of none.

[@cherylb.9766]

Delayed maintenance will break at the most inconvenient time when you need it the most. And it will always be a bigger PITA than if you had just taken care of it when you should. If your proactive your life will be much simpler and happier 😊

[@BirdYoumans]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dianaj3139]

Hahaha ... So true, "the MORE stuff you OWN, the More stuff owns you!" You certainly have the ability to fix a lot of different things out there on the homestead. another enjoyable video!

[@MaryMorgan-l7i]

Love your video's ❤

[@dougjensen8838]

I love your honesty when you struggle with any of your problems!! It helps me grow in my own knowledge and understanding. ❤️ Kathy Jensen

[@darienneflint9354]

This is the hardest jobs done today....maintenance on farming equipment...so good for the boys to understand and help. Love that buggy was there doing her maintenace a true family project...enjoyed video as usual.

[@deannewilliams3321]

That’s what I had for dinner too lol. Sausage and potatoes. Chicky reminds me of when I use to help my Dad and brothers do stuff.

[@sarameitner6770]

I was the only girl with lotsa brothers. And do I ever remember changing tires on the hubs. We just used what we had around, as well. My dad could figure out how to fix anything. A couple brothers inherited that talent - I'm not as mechanical, but am a fix-it-person nonetheless. Watching today brought back important memories. The work could be tedious and downright hard - but that working together was everything. Thanks for sharing your "fixin' things day"! I loved it.

I replaced a tire on my Turf Tiger this summer. What I learned is that if you put a vice grip on the rim you can work your way around the rim to get the bead over.

I would be curious to know how Ben and Meg met.😄 Your family is beautiful inside and out.🥰
