BREAKING! John Deere Recalls 170,000 After Customer Injuries! AND Meet My New Baby Squirrel!

[@clintonbrantley7055]

When an animal like a squirrel adopts you the way Briggs did, you are family to him. He's going to around forever.

[@zemtek420]

I had baby squirrel mistake me for a tree. Crawled right up my leg. Took him home and of course named him Rocky. :) by the end of the summer Rocky was pretty much an outdoor tree rat by then. How ever I had him taught to come when I had treats for him. He actually played with our cats. He stuck around for maybe 2 years after that. If anyone that sees this loves dogs check out Pawsuasive Dog Teaching. My RubyDoo knows over 60 tasks. Help small channels out since youtube does its very best to screw small channels over.

[@PowerIVshorts]

He’s going to be with you for life and he will bring back the family

[@robertchall8576]

Got you a new pet.😊

[@SAxSF]

Haha - agreed - no way this guys going back into the wild!

[@Robert-j9k5i]

He may run away to a near by tree as he gets older, they are wild. Had one for a year till it went to the tree outside and lived years

[@craigs7181]

Briggs will be forever grateful and will more than likely become a member of your family ❤ Build him/her a squirrel house to take shelter in before you release him and let him get use to it. Briggs will always come to hang out with you when you are around, so always have treats on hand 😊❤

[@kingscairn]

One a those cat climbin things with a little box on top

[@garyross1665]

Start looking for acorns and black walnuts now and save them. Squirrel teeth continue to grow their whole life which means they need to chew to keep their teeth from getting too long.

[@eltonyancey6426]

Pecans also.

[@nigeltaylor58]

Grey Squirrels will eat Wild Bird Peanuts, in UK we have a Grey Squirrel that comes to our bird feeder and steals the peanuts we give for the wild birds. The squirrel is quite a Houdini doing a Mission Impossible climbing a metal rod then hanging upside down feeding upside down. The squirrel comes every day. In UK Grey squirrels are not native to UK and carry a Pox virus that has almost eliminated the Red Squirrel which is native to UK. At the moment the UK government wants to cull Grey Squirrels so that Red Squirrels can return, but I enjoy the entertainment our Grey Squirrel gives us each day.

[@matthewwearsch242]

Looks like Briggsie is about ready for his first toolbox 🧰

[@ChuckD59]

Yep. That's that rattling sound you hear when I lift the hood of my car. (Pro country tip: mothballs in the bag. One on either side of the engine bay, and under the spare)

[@littleglasshouse5797]

Watch for the great small engine info, stay for the squirrel! 😄

[@almills8802]

That is too cute...he found his true mom...👍

[@craighansen7594]

Baby wildlife are really cute. I was glad to hear you realize little Briggs will need to return to the wild.

[@lilolmecj]

My parents rescued one, I don’t remember how long they had him, but maybe a year, then he returned to the wild. I also rescued a Blue Jay, at first it didn’t understand when I was trying to reintroduce it, but in a few days it was doing fine. I guess it was probably a female, nested in our yard the next year.

[@1new-man]

We named our orphaned baby squirrel Silly Buttons because he was cute as a button. He recently passed after reaching ten years of age. Tried to release him but he would not go far. I loved him and he loved me. I sure miss Silly Buttons.

[@jeffking3641]

I enjoy this show. At first, I thought it was a gimmick having a female mechanic. After watching the third show, I am a fan. She has my respect. ❤

[@charlesbeall2589]

Been following Bree's page for years, always informative and always a class act!👍

[@kevincamilleri1695]

Very insulting! I’m about to identify and a woman and find your post remarkably insulting 😂

[@bigbird5754]

No, she is the real deal. Pertinent information!

[@jamestboehm6450]

Bre is damn good at what she does. Tips, tricks and great insight into fixing broken power tools.

[@KWayneWord]

I love your channel and your love for critters makes it even better. That little fellow has an awesome mommy!! Thank you for all the great videos!

[@MrTehudson]

glad you are looking after the little fella

[@andrewyates304]

The squirrel is adorable!

[@martymalinowski6352]

I have a 1025R, had a 3033R prior to that. The 1025R has issues with the air cleaner housing being bolted to the aluminum valve cover so parts can fall down into the engine when it breaks off. You have to remove a headlight to change the battery. The mower deck is almost impossible to adjust. There is a grease fitting that must be accessed through a hole from under the tractor which means you have to line the driveshaft up with the hole. The hydraulic fitting covers do not stay in place, they just hang there. The brake issue that you mentioned here. The ROPS is designed to remove your overhead garage door, but on the good side, it offers adequate protection for your average 9' - 7" tall tractor driver. My 3033R blew out most of the hoses on the backhoe. JD is going the way of many manufacturers by outsourcing production, using cheap parts, and locking you into JD-only service with their electronics and software. I firmly believe that the primary qualification to become a JD engineer is not the degree and experience, but the fact they put their arm over their shoulder to wipe their arse. Another great video, keep up the good work!

[@truracer20]

Being 6'7" I applaud JD for building their ROPS to accommodate my height. The ROPS has to be higher than the operator by more than you think. As far as your garage door goes, maybe you need to talk to a doctor about your memory? I park my garden tractor in a small shed and I haven't yet in 20 years forgotten to duck going in or out. And from my early days of working in garages I follow the rule of always fully opening overhead doors.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

The people who design/engineer for most manufacturers are not the people who use and definitely don't maintain or repair the stuff. It's really a universal problem, not brand specific.

[@elained9591]

I also have a 1025 R that’s under the recall. The problem with JD besides the fact that they’re moving to Mexico is they do t take critiques, any suggestions or complaints goes on the dealer. I had to change the seat to a zero turn because their so called ergonomic seat killed my repaired lumbar. It was the first thing I changed. When I first heard of the recall, I think Courtney mentioned it on Good Works Tractor who referenced Tractor Time with Tim. I had to go get parts at my dealer and asked, they hadn’t even opened their notice allegedly and there was someone buying a 1025 which they were not allowed to sale! They weren’t happy with me. I picked the 1025R because of the mowing deck. It’s not as easy as they say getting it attached and don’t try it on concrete! It slips and goes sideways. I got it out from under it, took it to the gravel drive and used a fulcrum with a digging bar and a bunch of short timbers left over from the new pole barn. Ended up with a couple of tears in my shoulder and a pinched nerve in my neck back on Mother’s Day! Guess my digging bar wasn’t long enough. Oh and I’ve always had an issue with the FEL and complained a lot about the left dropping lower than the right. Eventually a mechanic identified the supposed issue being the long silver pin that goes from arm to arm being bent. Mechanic and everyone else thought it was covered under warranty except JD. Bought the new one, wanted the old but they’d already tossed it. Called and complained to JD, they said normal wear and tear, oh and I was probably over using it! The woman told me that if the dealership hadn’t been documenting it that would have been the issue. They had not been documenting it, she looked. That little dang zerk that has the too small hole for greasing got covered by the mechanic with the electrical wires for the MCS. I went off since I was doing maintenance on it with my bum shoulder. But I finally received my letter two weeks ago!

[@robertmailhos8159]

Just great John Deere 😮 Glad you got that Fur baby keeping him safe Bree

[@larrystanley5370]

Glad you are taking care of Briggs good for yall both

[@Willy12927]

Growing up squirrel was a staple on the dinner plate, but times change. 50 years ago my wife and myself bought one of the farms where my DAD and I used to squirrel hunt. now, the squirrels are protected game. we feed them and love watching them romp and play.

[@CRESERVE]

I rehabilitated a New Born Male Squirrel he was blown out of a tree in my front yard during a string rain storm And I fed mine Kitten Milk in a Can for 3 months and released him outside on the same tree I named him Bucky

[@drewdevon2009]

what a cute squirrel, the squirrels around my house drive me crazy digging everything up and eating my vegetables

[@dapperdave4952]

Epic BIG Grins with you and Ron and of course Briggs!

[@rogerallen3206]

Because of you showing that plastic welder, I got me one. It's come in handy for sure.

[@badbob]

This is truly one of the best, if not the best videos you have ever done. I love the fact about what you said about all the big equipment manufacturers. I also love little Briggs. That was really a special thing you did taking that little guy in. I can see it is in great health. I bet it won’t be easy releasing him back into the wild. Please keep us up to date on Briggs. I bet he keeps coming back.

[@petebusch9069]

Oh man, everyday I find another reason to hate what John Deere has become. I grew up a JD fan back in the 80's but those days are LONG GONE............................

[@jamescaron6465]

I hear you. My mother used to work at the local John Deere dealer when I was small. And I don’t know what she would think at this point what that company has turned into. It’s really sad.

[@phillyfathead]

JUAN Deere!

[@richardmueller5516]

I'm glad to see an animal lover like myself. Keep us posted on Briggs, just love him.

[@JemezDaveNM84]

You don't know what you're talking about. Like any company, they're going to have issues. You're not perfect so don't expect anyone else to be.

[@petebusch9069]

@@JemezDaveNM84 Trophies for everyone makes everyone a looser. Grow up.

[@ChiefsFan62]

You can get little salt blocks that have minerals in them that are for small animals.

[@rayplumer6968]

Tractor Time with Tim had one or two reports on the JD recall. Last I heard they still don't have parts to fix it. I feel comfortable continuing to use it and inspect the part occasionally.

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

Briggs... Good Call! We aint got no squirrels 'round here but I do have a bumper crop of Gambel's quail that are always entertaining! Living my best La Vida Loca here in southeastern Arizona

[@happyfeet231259]

i love briggs , , thanks for taking care of this little guy😍

That squirrel is adorable ..and he knows it. Nice to see Irene :) Best wishes to you both.

[@juliejones8785]

What an adorable squirrel.

[@randydicotti3975]

Ok...that show of compassion for the squirrel is mighty fine. Deepest respects.

[@craigdonnelly2290]

OMG 😊does Briggs bring back memories of when my wife hand raised a Fox squirrel. He would run up the drapes like a rocket with little dog playing with him. Thanks🥰

[@nobodyreally8441]

As if this channel wasn’t already my favorite, now you’ve gone and added Briggs!!! Oh my, I can’t get enough!!

[@desertfox3860]

Thanks for the update on your critters. Briggs could turn out to be a fun shop mascot.

[@benvincent24]

I mix seeds up in crunchy peanut butter and squirrels love it. In the hot Texas summer they also love watermelon rind, but they leave the skin. Briggs will have to get older before he can enjoy these.

[@stormaustin5]

❤Briggs glad you save the little dude

[@bobfrancis4289]

Briggs was lucky to find you! Thanks for the great information you provide, for small engine repair and all the other stuff you talk about not related. Love the castor oil tip for skin care!!

[@kpdvw]

so cute Bre the Squirrel whisperer.....!

[@scottprimrose6966]

Great videos. New pet will be with you forever.

[@archie7012]

that little dude is so cute.

[@Joe-hu7di]

Love the content. I used your tips on winterizing my line Echo trimmer. And starting my Echo 500 Timberwolf. It started just like yours after sitting several months! I started my neighbors Husqvarna the same way and he just said: show off. He has spent a lot of time and energy starting that thing. Thank you!

[@brendanaengenheister5351]

When I was an engineering apprentice back in the 1960's we had a design dept. and a quality control dept. So the design dept. knew what they were doing so the designs were good problems were rare. The quality control dept. were meticulous nothing left the factory that wasn't 100% within spec. As a company we struggled to compete solely on price but in the longer term we succeeded because of the quality of the product. A valuable lesson I learned in my teens so when I buy something now I do my research I don't buy the cheapest I also don't very often have to return a product due to a fault.

[@keen9629]

The best is yet to come with that squirrel. They are hilarious to have around. We call it squirrel tv.

[@rdmckeever7645]

Squirrel videos beat cat videos. Been to your Amazon store and all the tools & gadgets have been worth every penny. Thanks for saving us time, money, & some frustration too...

[@davidsolomonii5618]

That is a heck of a bucky lil briggs

[@TakeTheRide]

Those little licking noises on that sweet potato is so cute. That's adorable. I saved a baby raccoon, had him a few weeks, then got him to a wildlife rescue so it could be with its own kind. I miss him still.

[@Maurice1151]

Two cuties! Bre and the squirrel!👍👍😁😁

[@tyronesmith8305]

Aha! I KNEW IT! I laughed when I saw Briggs because I knew he was staying. He's great. Thank you for your videos I always learn something new and I've been wrenching for 24 yrs.

I really like your honesty. That's why I watch your channel a lot. That's cool that you're fostering Briggs ❤

awwwww. that little guy. He's tame. Oh I hope the hurricane stuff doesnt mess up that conference.

Glad to see you still have the baby squirrel. "Briggs" is a cute name. Great addition to your channel

Great vid Bree as always . We rehab wildlife and love how you are looking out for this little guy ! Hope you know , even when you let him back into the wild you made a friend for life. God Bless

[@jimbrewer2893]

We had a squirrel when I was a kid. Way back when. Cute as all get out, until he started tearing up the curtains. He chewed dads glasses. That was it then. He ended up on my uncles farm with the other squirrels, rabbits and other critters.

[@gailjohnson6670]

Thank you for video and sharing. Blessings to you.

[@MaggieBryan-ji6jn]

I think you have a new pet. He won't leave for long. Love it.

[@papalilburn]

[@gordbaker896]

I didn't know that the JD Models you mentioned had Front wheel Brakes. Bell Crank is usually related to Steering Components as in the arm, coming off the Steering box on Vehicles. Lucky Briggs.

[@John-pn7bh]

Briggs is so cute. Looking forward to seeing him more.

[@WardDorrity]

Thank heavens I run a Kubota. And bless you for taking care of little Briggs. It's obvious that he thinks you're his mom now.

[@gordonwilloughby8793]

Somewhere around 50 years ago I worked on a portable sawmill. My father cut down the trees for the sawmill. He found 3 baby squirrels in a hollow tree that he had cut down. He gave them to me. I fed them with a doll bottle. One of them didn't make it but the other two grew up. They were a lot of fun but they scared some people because they loved to climb on people.

[@Leonardokite]

That is beyond cute! I think you found a new star for the show 🐿️ and a draw for more views. Also I think once you release him he will be back routinely.

[@davebaker489]

Yes he will be back... That is IF he ever leaves. But then like any good mother you'll worry about Hawks n Owls etc. I rescued 1 once, unfortunately he broke his back as he ran around in his squirrel home in the basement. You are awesome for what you chose to do with him. 👍👍👍

Umm... Bree... We need to talk. I once reluctantly agreed to foster a dog my daughter wasn't taking care of for a few weeks until we could find her a forever home. That was 12 years ago, and she's laying at my side as I type this. I suspect you and Briggs will be family for a long time to come... And he's adorable.
