Chicks, Scrapyards, and Putting the Farmall 856 to Work

[@jeddbob]

Ciao Pete! I live in Lucca, Italy and want you to know how much I enjoy and look forward to your videos. Watching you, your family and your livestock gives me the feeling all is right with the world. Listening to your philosophy on life reassures me there is yet hope for mankind. Thank you.

[@toddbagley1775]

Thanks for reminding us of the amount of labor that goes into raising food.

[@Darren-pi3ng]

My wife and I really enjoy your videos finally found something worth watching we love the respect you both have for your livestock and the land. You also have very good taste in tractors just keep your 504 on day you will be glad you have two loaders plus its your 504 that you got started with . keep up with the good videos.

[@mikewatson4644]

I have owned my 856 for 37 years and I still love it. I'm sure you will love yours too. Thanks for the video

[@prestonmiller9552]

I especially loved the drone shots. Presents such a peaceful scene. Thanks Pete! A great way to enjoy my Sunday Morning Coffee.

[@marilynrowland5197]

Nice to see the 856 in action! Awesome tractor--a real humdinger! Also, great overhead shots! Fun to see the tractor in one field while the cows are happily grazing in the field next to it!

[@Papazipper9436]

Your sense of humour I think is who 99% of your viewers love about you not to mention your true good natured informative content , and your good looks ! 😂 love you and Hillary

[@claytonsmoking]

I didnt get the joke can anyone explain im lost lol

[@onetuliptree]

@@claytonsmoking The pills won't fix the problem but will treat the symptoms for the remainder of his life --> 3 pills = 3 days or 3 weeks. 😂😭

[@claytonsmoking]

@@onetuliptree OMFG LMAO

[@cpranger59]

Sorry, I still don’t get it. You take a pill, all of your symptoms go away for the rest of your life. You don’t need the other two pills.

[@claytonsmoking]

@cpranger59 thats what my brian said thats why i didn't get it but as far as i understand now. That was the pills that would last the rest of his life

[@rickgill-bh2cr]

I'll have to admit ,Pete I have seen all of your videos almost and I honestly have to say you're the only farm oriented and family you tube farm that is always a joy to watch ,,informative and down to earth honesty,and best of all a great family!Thank you and I wholeheartedly hope you folk's don't change a thing !! I love watching your restorations 😀👍

[@scuttlebuttz7202]

Good morning from N.E. Ohio! Thanks for the happy time with you & Hillary! 🤗😁 Love your smiles!

[@galehackett314]

Thank you Pete for fixing the chicken ramp😊

[@coffeepot3123]

That junkyard is beautiful, seriously!. A certain movie charm to it.

[@hoophil]

Good morning Pete and Hillary! Great video, glad you got your missing chicks and that tractor does sound amazing, just purrs. Have a great day, stay safe and healthy!

[@frankrightbrain]

Love it when you can buy a used piece of equipment and put it to work quickly.

[@bay9876]

It was nice to see the new member to the tractor family. The Farmall 856 worked like a charm and will bring many years of good service to the farm. It's like getting a strong new work horse.

[@Flowing23]

great video Pete, thank you.

[@brucebalsam2127]

I just love watching your chickens chickening, your cattle cattleing, your tractors tractoring, and even you dad joking. Its not boring, its peaceful. The barn birds chirping are great too.

[@luciawhitney3809]

My , the piggers sure are getting friendly!!!

[@earlsmithson4749]

You are so right Pete, 407 cubic inches of diesel music and don’t need no stinking DEF fluid. Please show her more!

[@JohnWood-tk1ge]

Glad the new used tractor is working out!

[@jenaswartout4399]

When I heard you say "but"...I thought...he's gonna take the 856 for a spin! Yeah!!!!! As far as I'm concerned, those pork chops are the best. I think they have more flavor. And Ms. Hillary is such a great caregiver of the chickens and turkeys. After a stressful day at work, I was so happy to see you had a new video out. Thank you Mr. Pete

[@JRFechner]

Hello Pete. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. Your daily routine videos are very peaceful, addition to my chaotic and stressful life. You’re voice is very calming. All that you share about your farming journey is very interesting. I cannot thank you enough for all you put in to your channel. Your tractor/equipment videos are done so well, I find them very informative and although I don’t have tractors like you, I find little bits and pieces that I can apply to other equipment that we have on our property. Admittedly, I do not watch the tractor/equipment videos as much because they require so much more attention and sometimes I’m just too stressed from the day, that I can’t do it. I hope that you continue to do these equipment videos because I think in the long run when people need to learn about the equipment, your videos will be the ones that are viewed over and over again for many years to come. It brings happiness to my soul when I see how much you enjoy the equipment. Your joy really comes through the camera. My husband gets the same joy out of working on old equipment. I love hanging out with him the shop and helping where I can. Anyway, thank you for all your efforts, please disregard all the trolls and ugly people out there. There are so many people like me that rarely ever comment on anything. Signing off, Julie - Hilery’s sister Saint❤

[@matthmanning]

We have a small Kiko goat farm here in North Florida 28 acres. We are turning Meadows into pastures and love your channel. You have inspired us to get our pastures to an almost self-sufficient type of cycle by watching your videos. They have been super helpful and informative. The stories of clearing rocks shoulder to shoulder were really good as well. Although my wife did not seem to enjoy the idea of us standing shoulder to shoulder and clearing every rock out of all 28 acres lol. Keep doing what you're doing please. We need more informative farming and homesteading content that doesn't have bunch of personal family, intentional soap, opera drama in it like most of the other channels. More info on turning overgrown Meadows into grazing pastures for goats is appreciated.

[@dwjr5129]

The 856 looks like a good acquisition and the chops look amazing. Thanks Pete!

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Had a busy day yesterday with club picnic, then run another 100miles to family reunion, so today was Grocery shopping day. and we got out early and back in time to enjoy a nice cup of hot coffee and a pastry, and sit back and enjoy this video. what more could anyone ask for! I had the same thought as many did I really hope the prevdous owner gets to see this video of his old tractor doing what it was meant to do and to Pete. lovingly tending to some replacement bolts and some TLC before putting it to work. love the drone shots of the filed makes it all come to sense. when you see it like that. me? been there done that but I"m sure a lot of Non farmers can relate better because of the drone shots. great on the new chicks. looks and sounds like all went well today Pete. thanks for sharing. God speed. ECF

[@Wvfarmer1972]

You know it’s gonna be a good day when Pete posts!

[@AbdulAli-is9sz]

😊😊

[@sarahburkdorf8338]

Like how you use the TA for going around the headlands, I always learn something new on every video thanks for sharing Pete ! Glad you're enjoying your 856, that's a nice addition. You and your family have a great day !

[@homesteadinglawyer]

What a joy to run old-ish tractors that run well. It's a special memory of my young-ish years.

[@lynnsweeney4529]

Good morning Pete & Hillary. So excited to see the newest member of the farm is working out for you. As always thank you for taking time out of your busy day to bring us the great videos.😊

[@chadklingshirn1508]

Happy Sunday to you as well!! 😊 Thanks for another great video!!

[@richardswartzbaugh929]

New tractor just needs your magic touch to restoration and two new tractor tires on the front. Great purchase, Pete.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@slothonabike]

Oh look. A new upload from Pete. Guess who's day just got better.

[@markflick1641]

Love the relationship Hillary and Pete have, they both seem to genuinely enjoy time spent with each other and the livestock . Thank you for making time for our fans. God. Bless

[@evanstauffer4470]

I remember when I was in elementary school, the 856 was the latest thing in tractors. Now I'm an antique! Just wish I could get an engine overhaul, rebuilt transmission, and a new paint job.🙃

[@Rangersly]

What do you mean by ''I hope you like this video''? You had me at ''Hi! I'm Pete!'' 😁 I hope the person who sold you your new 856 watches this video so he'll know his tractor went to a good home and is appreciated.

[@samvalentine3206]

Wholeheartedly agree!

[@avahightower4685]

Such good and satisfying video. My 6-year-old granddaughter came bouncing in the room and got all excited and said, "Hey, there's our farmer friend!" lol ...she enjoyed it with me. She particularly likes the drone shots of the farm and the cows. Great recipe on the chops, by the way, thank you, I quick jotted it down and will try that soon as I get me a few pork chops to throw in a pan. They looked delicious!

[@blockaid]

I find myself giddy when I see a new video posted. Nice,clean entertainment from a nice family.

[@Uncleroger1225]

I agree Pete, a good Porkchop beats a steak all day long, or all dinner long! Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesloarie8427]

I loved riding along with you on 856, great tractor.And you sure love cooking with your Weber Grill. I am very hungry now thanks to you.Had a grill like yours, but after 39 yrs. it finally fell apart. I moved to new residence , and can only use gas grill. You have a beautiful family especially Hillary, wonderful wife. You both are a great team Have wonderful Sunday.

[@charleselertii6187]

Thank You Pete and Hilary.

[@patricktillmanns3949]

Thanks for the dad humor, it was just what the doctor ordered 😊

[@nicholaspower4621]

The new tractor sounds wonderful! Well wear! What a lovely job you have done topping the field!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

What a great video to enjoy on a Sunday morning with a coffee and some croissants! Thank you Pete and Hillary!

[@ga6589]

Your videos are a guaranteed spirit booster!🥰

[@mattdanger-ny]

The 856 is one of the best sounding tractors. We have one and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time that i fire it up.

[@BlueLighteningGojo]

The new tractor sounds like a BEAST. Congratulations on the purchase, can't wait to see her with a fresh coat of paint.

[@janeteckhart4886]

Great job clipping the field with the new tractor. So glad your happy with it.

[@paulciampa]

Pete perhaps you could invite the old farmer out for a day running some of those old tractors and watch him light up....no pressure of running the operation on his part but shear enjoyment of being out in the field feeling useful once again...

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

Hello from Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Thanks for the tip on the pork chops.

[@kingyeuyam10]

Happy Sunday morning there Pete, Hillary and the kiddos ❤

[@Andbygrace7024]

It's such a good life when your choices are drive an antique tractor or move a beautiful hay wagon full of wonderful wood.....thanks for sharing....

[@stumpy2816]

Love the sound of the 856. Glad you like it. 👍👍

[@neilkratzer3182]

Nice when you buy something and basically can take it to the field, and it's read to go. What a good investment.

[@williambeichler9053]

That 856 certainly sounds strong and healthy!! When said you were going to buy the tractor, I couldn't wait till you brought it home to watch the video. Keep up the great videos Pete!

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

Hi all. Yes it's seem the 856 runs so well. I'm happy you have a good buy.

[@jeffreyjohnson8212]

Thanks for sharing your day! Definitely enjoyed seeing the 856!

[@Balb23]

Pete and Hillary you both are such an inspiration ❤you have helped encouraged so many who only dream to get back to this way of life. If I could send you a thank you card I would. Here’s to many more. 🎉

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Nice little trip to the scrap yard!!! Great video 🤙

[@tonyjones9715]

Thanks Pete and Hillary

[@woodyswartze5620]

GREAT TEE SHIRT! So glad I could meet you in Grand Island. Woody

[@johnseverson6676]

How great is it to see an 856 paired up with the 990 haybine. Brings back my childhood on the farm . Thanks for sharing your life on your farm brings joy to my life!

[@todayisit3]

Love the sound of the 856. Something very satisfying and stimulating mowing with an IH. Love your farm Pete. Thanks for sharing.

[@beverlygiroux2824]

Its a joy to see you working with that new tractor......It did just what you wanted it to do. Nice looking pork for your supper. Enjoy the rest of Sunday..........Bev in Maine

[@stuartsplace100]

Good Morning Pete and Hilary,an awesome day finally

[@erikhinds-cy9cx]

Nice. It’s good to see the different facets of your operation. Love the F20. That’s coolest tractor.

[@JerryMiah]

love your sense of humor Pete! Just spent the last 5 hours snapping, preparing, and steam pressuring 19 pounds of green beans. its really relaxing watcing your content after some hot tedious work :)

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Hay pete the 856 sounds and works very nice running your pastures like nothing nice working machine oh those chops look yummy enjoy with your family thank you for sharing

[@rezyness]

Pete that 856 was met to be. Love seeing and hearing the new chicks!! Chips looks tasty

[@thomasmccardle725]

I like this style video Pete, a little bit of everything just like what a real farm is like! I even saw the cows while you were cutting.

[@shawndugay4089]

Pete your videos always make me smile, especially the dad jokes. I especially like the drone work as it gives a better sense of scale of your operation and how clipping a pasture is not mowing the lawn at home. Keep up the excellent work.

[@stevepalmer8285]

Hi Pete from the UK. I always enjoy your videos.take care.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

A man and his tractor... It's a beautiful thing!!

[@robertkelley1990]

Good to see u got all of your chic and the 856 is doing a great job on the field have a great Sunday..

[@SODAK2276]

The 856 was a really nice find! They just have an awesome sound.

[@chrisbrackett9779]

17:52 I’ve been waiting to see you work the 856, the problem is it didn’t break a sweat. Awesome video, thank you.

[@kirkwilson10]

Love hearing that 856 roar the Red Power! Rain tonight? Perfect day to lay that mulch layer down...😊

[@markschumacher7408]

I am glad you re-attached that cross tread on the chicken coop ramp.

[@sammureno6862]

Thanks Pete, you help me keep my sanity, god bless you.

[@patriciabeyer8029]

Hi. The birds are sweet. Love the chirping.

[@kevinkoepke8311]

[@louiserawle8999]

Wow,working like a newie!! Lovin' every video Pete The overhead shots are glorious Thank you for always enjoyable and informative content ☺️☺️

[@PineyRidgeFarmWNC]

The 856 sounds great! We could tell how much fun you were having...the former owner should be pleased it's with you. Watching you and Hilarie working together is so wonderful........ We can tell you enjoy working together... that's what a family farm is all about

[@timzona6829]

Hi from Southwest Iowa/Northwest Missouri farmer. Good video I like to watch you fixing up those old tractors I am a Deere guy but my family started out in late 20’s -1970’s on red machinery. I like about all the older tractors. They all had their own features and looks now they all look a like. Take care Pete and Hillary

[@autodidactin]

Always enjoy the mowing drone shots! You got quite creative with all the camera angles there Pete!

[@carlac843]

Just chill axing and getting the work finished. Yum yum pork chops! Kep ‘‘em coming! Y’all are fabulous!😃✅

[@geoffoutdoors]

Love that tractor. Saw a couple great Int'l 660s yesterday. Beastly!

[@bobmat53]

Just want to let you know your video makes my day🎉😊 have a great day and can't wait to see you next video

[@alansummerscales3376]

Nothing beats a flail mower for pasture clipping, bought one 2 years back and love it.

[@droy3886]

Great tractor Pete. I am so happy for you. God Bless, Daryl

[@press2701]

I love those high aerial drone shots of the field being cut. Pretty, colorful, relaxing and satisfying, oddly satisfying.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Nice that you got to run the 856, it sure did run good. Those pork chops looked good too, makes me want to go get some cooked up. Thanks Pete, I hope your Sunday is going good and you have a nice week.

[@jdschini]

My how well you have charmed those two piggies into trusting you. Thank you for another educational, and entertaining video as always Pete!

[@fionajane56]

This is such a wonderful tractor and is a perfect addition to both your tractor collection and your working tractors! Your posts are such a good mix of learning, humor and teamwork!

[@billcotherman2155]

The 856 is a sweet ride! The sound of the engine is so unique and is just beautiful. Looks good too!

[@lisah.8838]

The storms around this region have been a bit crazy lately. Thank you for the relaxing videos!

[@49er61]

856 sounds great I used to run 1456 with a cab and would tie doors open at nitetime work loved that sweet sound

[@andrewpaige6571]

I enjoyed watching the 856 cutting grass

[@jaclynalley809]

Was admiring those gates you took to the scrap yard. We keep our worn out gates here to make "emergency" patches if we find a bad spot in our woven wire fences. They work great until we can properly repair!

[@tammytinhorn-fz6jj]

Keep the drone shots coming...I enjoy seeing all the greenery..so pretty.

[@rickhenderson6441]

Pete, that 856 needs the right tires on the front. When you have time that is. Thanks for another great video
