Good to see a father and son working together!

[@ardurbin2]

Amen!

[@MaclearieFarms]

@My Cancer Journey stay strong we are all here for you

[@tony98discovery]

Yes, I am also very impressed with the work they complete on their farm.

[@HighGearAutomotive]

Totally agree! It's good to see

[@mikewatson4644]

Brings back memories of building and repairing fence with my Dad. Thank you

[@benjamindejonge3624]

Love to see more Henry & Pete episodes

[@cherrydowns7745]

What he said! It's so much fun to watch kids learn.

[@firemanj35]

Henry's doing a fine job learning on camera. That cluch speed thing takes time. Good job not freaking out Pete. And your patience teaching Henry and us is great. Man is Billy getting big. Always great to see you and Henry together. And those little piggy's are something else.

[@samvalentine3206]

Thanks to my best friend's Dad, he taught me how to use a clutch on an old Farmall Model B with the offset steering. Gave me the feel for autos no problem.

[@Mclovin21983]

I still pop my clutch and it's been 10yrs driving

[@machintelligence]

I remember dumping a few siblings and cousins off the back of a hay wagon with a particularly abrupt start before I had mastered the clutch. No serious injuries, but they didn't trust me for a while. It wasn't intentional.

[@MrDanisve]

@@Mclovin21983 Been driving for 25 years now, still happens i pop a clutch if i drive a new clutch im not familiar with. They vary so much, and im a creature of habit so :P My sisters car (Ford Focus) has really aggressive brakes. Everyone who drives that car end up almost emergency braking when trying to brake normally lol. So annoying to drive that car

[@karlmurphy7097]

Painful to watch Henry releasing clutch

[@Vagabond1975]

I really appreciate watching a family work together. reminds me of 40 years ago working with my uncles learning to fix fence, drive trucks/tractors, mechanic work on equipment. Passing on knowledge is one of the greatest achievements we as humans can do. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@williamchastain9510]

I love when you sit and talk to the camera. I think I could listen to you talk for hours about your craft.

[@locustvalleyfarms7241]

Yep being able to find your favorite pliers and use them..just makes for a good day!

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

That is the truth!

[@vernonboone5219]

I love seeing your son Henry helping you out!!!!👍🏼👍🏼

[@tony98discovery]

Yes, I also enjoy watching young people working on the farm.

[@sueh3382]

Henry is not the only one to hear "easy and slow on that clutch" I heard it over and over again learning on the Farmall as a kid...Way to Go Henry!

[@andrewpaige6571]

I cannot tell you how many time I have reviewed all of your footage of your farm and enjoy the conversation that you Have I enjoy sharing conversation with you and your animals and tablets again with if they are real human beings. We take so much for granted when we think about you from in the sacrifices you make for there is no vacation. Thank you Pete and thank you your wife and your children for taking us on a journey each and every week. I’ll check back to look forward to see if you have any new footage. I’m always excited to see what’s new, especially with the chickens and the cows and the pigs.

[@marilynwitherell186]

Henry was a great helper. Hard to believe how tall he has gotten.

[@joshk.6246]

Yeah he probably gets those "how's the weather up there" jokes.

[@ronharrison1776]

I am 79 years old and I still remember helping our neighbor when I was about 10 years old around his small mini farm where he raised white rabbits , chickens, and a fairly large garden . I wouldn't trade those memories for anything . P. S. He was my now wives Grandpa and I loved both of them .

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

I give thanks for the American Farmers that feed our Nation and most of the Third World Countries on this Planet, May Gob Bless and keep them.

[@paulbarr3981]

Pete, hurrah for letting Henry participate. Doing goes right to memory. He's a good guy you've raised there. You have a great attitude.

[@teenagefarmer]

Couldn't agree more with what you said at the end. Very glad that I'm being raised on a farm. It's a great way to grow up. Thanks for another great video.

[@JohnyAngelo]

It's gonna be even more precious as you get older, it's so hard to emulate something like that in the city.

[@frasermathers2287]

Well Ryan from what I see in your videos, you are living proof that it is the best way to grow up, and you have both great work ethics and are of good character. Keep at it Ryan and you will be rewarded through your life.

[@klazyy641]

Ha! "The Life of Riley" comment sure brought me back to the late '40's and early '50's. TV shows have sure changed (and not necessarily for the better, I'm sad to say). Henry's bout of tractor training went just about the same as mine---although he didn't spill you off of the end of the wagon like I did my grandpa. Grandpa's reaction (and vocabulary) was a wee bit different than I would expect you would have shown to Henry. Thanks for a trip down memory lane, again, and for sharing your day's activities with us on the other side of the computer.

[@elizabethblane201]

Seeing Henry just completely closed the loop. Yes, raise your children on the farm.

[@haroldhaugaard410]

I believe growing up on a working farm is by far the best way to grow up.

[@jefffirefighter12106]

When he master's the clutch on the tractor he'll be able to drive almost everything on the farm!

[@scottmcd5885]

The times spent with father and son... You can't put a price on it! And Henry... My wife is a lot older than you and still hasn't quite figured out the clutch. Both of y'all will get it in time

[@darsmith3448]

You bring tears to my eyes. Thank you! We relish watching proud parents. Today we saw the proudest of fathers. Time for me to go back outside and get to my spring chores. Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene (& Scott)

[@kevinschroeder3889]

My dad always used to say "kids and dogs belong on the farm" I agree. I cherish the memories of my childhood on a farm. It also taught me to respect animals.

[@kbr1980]

This has to be in the top five of the best videos you’ve ever done! Really love watching you work with your son. Henry’s so grown up. Such a deep voice. He did great driving the tractor!

[@boblatimer80]

Good to see Henry learning to drive the tractor. I too grew up on a farm Drove tractors, cars, trucks and horses. Henry will never forget working on the farm. Work is good for the soul.

[@alal8009]

Nothing more enjoyable than watching what people have been doing for thousands of years.... passing knowledge to their kids. That's priceless. Young Henry will get the hang of the clutch i am sure. It took me forever when i was learning to drive back in the days when Noah was a pup 😀. Love and happiness to all of you. Eager to see the construction of the new barn !!

[@bradey7275]

I absolutely love how you tied the story about your grandpa from the last video with the scene of you and your son on the tractor in this video. Your ability to share Life without using words is beautiful. I have found a new level of respect for your videos Pete! Brilliant.

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Nice to have Henry helping!! I like that you leave the branches and brush, good hedgerow for wildlife! Congratulations on the piglets!!! 🐷🐷🐷

[@PatricesProjects]

What a great day on the farm. It was nice to see Henry working with you. Can't wait to see Brownies piglets!

[@brianmartin2071]

Great to see Henry helping his parents with the fences and mucking out the pigs, it says a lot when a young guy doesn’t mind helping with the dirty jobs also . Really enjoyed the video today, as someone who doesn’t get outside much because of mobility issues I feel as though I got fresh air today . Thanks for sharing the video, Very much appreciated as always .

[@debbietrotter8857]

Henry is a brave man to learn to drive tractor on camera!

[@andymullen1752]

Good morning folks

[@user-jc5zd4pw5m]

Better than a morning coffee, your morning videos. Wondering when you'll be giving a TED talk (props included on stage !)...your wisdom is worth sharing. Live in Canada. Cheers...

[@brucealfman1108]

Pete it's great to see your son out working with. Hands on is the best teacher there ever was.

[@fundyacres2022]

Always good to see the kiddos helping out. We hope ours will continue to help out and have an interest as we start building our hobby farm.

[@bettenotap4791]

Is that Henry?! It is, it’s Henry! He’s really tall, must be all that fresh farm air.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Hey Pete annnnd Henry ! Wow it was really nice to see you guys working together on the farm ! Love drivin that red beauty eh Henry ! I just love driving our tractors around on our small piece of property 17 acres up north in Michigan! But most ofvall...you've got one heck of a grand teacher right there with you ...what a fabulous dad y'all have ! We love hearing evetything your dad shares with us...we learn a lot from his explanations of all kinds of things from cooking to fixing fences or plowing planting ..scooping poo and then throwing it all over ! Lolol...plus his restorations and tractor repairs.. and of course the farmers market ! Your mom is perfect in all her ways revealed to us ! God bless y'all ! Anxious to see just how many piglets Brownie actually has ! Yay piggies ! Love all of the pigs ...JJ and bossy pig and Billy...well that's about it ! What's the number 1 cause of dry skin ? A towel ! Lololol😅

[@buddywhite7289]

Henry is really growing. Can you get him to dance one morel time? That is by far my favorite video.

[@melindaivey4772]

Enjoyed seeing Henry out helping Mom and Dad with the chores of the farm. I think Henry truly loved driving the tractor. Have a blessed day

[@bradellison1345]

Pete, your tractor driving lesson was spot on, not too much information, no yelling, just letting him figure it out. Maybe that all happened off camera. :)

[@vmcougarintn5035]

Henry! That is exactly how I learned to drive a stick shift! Your dad reminds me so much of my Uncles. I mean, bad jokes and all, they were very good men. Pete, This is how I began to understand the nature around us. That means so much to me now; enjoy your children folks while they are young. BROWNIE! Yea! Piggies! I guess 10!

[@brianbishop3562]

Congratulations Pete you are a piggy grandfather again LOL and what a little more practice Henry you'll get much better at that clutch great to see both of you working together!

[@prettyaprilgirl6970]

Sigh a normal respectful healthy non entitled kid...what a rare thing to see

[@kathyw1710]

How beautiful to see your son with you. God bless yous🥰

[@4stringmanagmaildcom]

I'm 67 and my Grandpa let me drive tractors on his farm as early as 10. He had me driving on the road at 12. Great times, favorite memories. Henry will learn to feather that clutch. Good thing tractors have such heavy flywheels or that engine would stall.

[@frankcurley]

Thanks for the reminder to Henry about the clutch. My father used to say to me when releasing the clutch, he would tell me...pay attention to your knee when releasing the clutch. It's good to see Henry out with you in the field!

[@lisaburns2117]

You’re so kind and patient teaching Henry. He’s a hard worker. Your dad joke fell kinda flat with him. Hahahaha

[@farmerrod3159]

I can remember when I was taught to drive my first tractor. It was on a Farmall Super A, then I learned how to rake hay. We used the Super A for raking hay. That was my job on the farm for the rest of the summer. I loved it. I love teaching my grandkids about farming, the cattle, calving, spring planting and fixing fence. The worst part is picking up rocks in the field, they loose interest quickly. The kids usually run off and explore in the area, it is a win win for everyone. Eventually they return and we finish rock picking and head back to the house. Teaching is one of the best things with farming. Good luck with the piglets. Be safe out there, farmer rod

[@frankbever3460]

How exciting! The piglets are being born! Love your videos!

[@katewojo]

Another GREAT video here! I think because Henry taught us all how tough it is to drive a tractor with his Dad in the back seat! 😆 Good job there Henry- you’ll get the hang of it soon!

[@mountaindreamer7883]

And training the next generation of farmers is more important than ever before. Humanity will be absolutely dependent on them in the future. There is possibly no more humbling and honest work than farming, something todays youth is terribly lacking in. Farming is at the very roots of mankind, and soon mankind will have to find and rekindle these roots or we will perish because of it.

[@TheVaga9]

Henry the Rock Star!! Excellent Dad moment on the clutch!!

[@Stratboy999]

Henry did well with that tractor, gradually getting the feel for it. Clutch control is always the hardest part of driving any manual vehicle.

[@drglinski]

Nice job Henry! Getting a hang of a clutch takes practice. The best advice I give newbies is when letting the clutch out to go slowly, and once you feel it start to move hold your foot in place till the tractor is moving then let your foot off the rest of the way. He'll get it.

[@bbrewfus6127]

Dear Pete… It IS harder to learn how to drive on video… 😆 brought me right back to me learning how to drive … a girl at 14 (~1967) when I drove our little cub to help mow our farm in PA. That October for my 15th birthday, I went to see The Doors in concert and paid $2.50 for the ticket. How times have changed! Thanks fir all your videos… I love every one of them… but Patty will always be my favorite. 🤣👍

[@shawnh8754]

Henry on the tractor reminds me of a story with my dad. I was probably 6 or 7. He asked me to stand (couldn't reach sitting) on the driver's side and push the brake when he yelled. the truck was going to creep along in the pasture while he stood in the back of the bed feeding out hay to the cattle. He yelled, I smashed the brake with great enthusiasm and my dad hit the cab of the truck. Oops. Lesson learned and never forgotten. LOL

[@NutsNBolts24]

These are the memories Henry will look back on the most. My best memories are riding around with dad on his 1946 model M and collecting firewood for the upcoming winters. Well that and going fishing with my parents and grandparents.❤

[@billysmith6131]

Love to see Henery out and about with ya. Does a great thing bonding like this. The learning cure for the clutch....that'll come with time. nice to see the piglets coming, pretty SWEET!!

[@nathanokken3565]

Morning pete! 😂

[@teenagefarmer]

Nice to see Henry. Great work guys. Love the videos keep up the good work Pete.

[@wd9dau]

I’m 74 and when I was younger I remember box elder bugs all over our house!

[@zodszoo]

The clutch, definitely takes getting used to, especially since not so common for younger folks these days. He'll get there tho!

[@thurlowfamilyfarm4628]

Henry has gotten BIG! Wow. Must be all that home raised protein. Love it

[@jonathanwalkup4010]

That’s a good man teaching his son how to drive the tractor. After my dad taught me he didn’t have to get up at 5 in morning to feed cattle on cold winter days anymore. I set my alarm so I could get seat time. Fun times.

[@johnsmit5516]

It’s the simple things in life that make it so rewarding Especially getting to enjoy them with your son

[@stime6472]

Pete you nailed with your last statement about kids! I couldn't agree more. I always loved the time I spent with my dad gramps and great uncle. I wouldn't trade all those time for anything!

[@timothyrill3825]

The bonding, nothing like it! That was fun to watch. The piglets have arrived and enjoyable times come with them. The more the merrier! Very enjoyable Pete and Hillary. Even got some firewood !👍

[@cecilleflowerfarm]

❤️❤️❤️dad and son seeing working together, bring back memories with my dad.

[@tkinvy9750]

It’s sooo good to see the young fella out with you. How good is it as a parent

[@CindyPaxton]

Love seeing your son driving the tractor. I remember doing that with me grandpa and it is a cherished memory. Thank you❤

[@RatdogDRB]

Go Henry, go Henry. EASE that clutch out, don't "dump" it... EASE it out. Change HOW you move your hoof each time until you discover the feel you want from the tractor. Great seeing dad teaching son how things are done, and sone wanting to learn. Very nice!! Always good to have many skills available to you. Patty's bound to be orchestrating the timing of releasing the cows. You have your marching orders, Pete. LOL Exciting times... Brownie's having her piglets! Another cycle of life on the farm is happening! Ugh, gonna be a rock-picking day in your future when the contractor's done moving that pile of fill. ("Henry!!!")

[@jaybennett236]

I experienced a little of farm life while growing up in the '50's. Then as a teacher in public schools experiencing many age groups I am convinced, like you, that most kids would be better off by making outdoor activities/farming their primary learning activity with "book learning" secondary.

[@reesee9669]

And the vitamin D the kids get in the sunshine is way better for their bodies and minds. I loved this episode

[@chuckthomas8176]

Aww luv little piglets .. and I agree sir , best thing for kids ,I luv it when my grandkids show up on the farm ,they play hard outside ,all day ,helping me with chores ,getting dirty and or muddy . Then cooling off in the creek. Then evening comes eat, shower n bed . No fuss ,no mess.. hard sleeping kids .. 😴 absolutely a great feeling. As a grandad hmm Nothing better..😊

[@markflick1641]

The many days of hard work and sweat turn into fond memories with age .Thank you and your family.

[@joeldurheim5831]

I love your rabbit shirt! National champs you know!!!😊😊😊😊

[@Noah-qi3ct]

Good job teaching Henry on the tractor. I am currently teaching my 14 year old 6' son how to drive. Great times!

[@tracymclaughlinholmes677]

There is nothing in this world cuter than a baby bacon fairy!!!!!! They are so flippin cute!!!!!

[@davidkraft3690]

What a wonderful way to send a day - with family My kids still talk about growing up on the farm. There favorite was learning to drive on a tractor..I had to laugh every time Henery "Eased out on the clutch" . That is a Learned Art.

[@littleroo340]

Henry did an excellent job driving the tractor for the first time. Give the young man a pat on the back. 👏

[@nelsonferris2606]

I love to see the old International tractors. When I was a teenager in the 60’s my father had a M and an H. I started farming with an 806 and eventually graduated to a John Deere.

[@danielashford2430]

Congratulations on the new family of piggers,thanks Pete peace brother…

[@Tiersmoke92555]

"Easy on the cluth" Peet's back last words.

[@lynnsweeney4529]

It is so wonderful to see you out with your son, passing down the farm skills. I love seeing these kinda moments. The memories that you create with your kids are so precious. We tend to get so busy in our day to day lives. Making memorie.

[@BearCat459]

I love it when I see Henry on video helping his pops and learning the trade. (I imagine he helps a lot off camera)

[@libby5335]

Nice to see Henry driving the tractor. Always good to see parents and kids working together!

[@dickmagruder9907]

Good to see young Henry learning the fundamentals of farming. Loved the video.

[@autodidactin]

Nice to see Henry and you working together, enjoying the tasks and the companionship.

[@jcamisa50]

It's great having Henry out there with you. Maybe a future farmer. Your closing statement is so true . My son was always outside working side by side with me and today he has his own house and loves keeping his gardens, lawn and general upkeep. Thanks Pete for sharing, see you next , with brownie piglets ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelburns9172]

I haven't laughed 🤣 this hard in a while. Teaching a new driver to use the clutch is a thing you have to get a feel for.

[@jasonvanmaanen]

The patience you have with your son learning to drive that beautiful tractor

[@stayinalivemedical790]

I LOVED seeing the piglets today! It really helped my day and brought a huge smile on my face!

[@kirkwilson10]

Priceless, Pete. You're touching years you will never see.... And.That.Is.Precious. The guys said Hi and also, that was a really good joke!

[@Me-ov9nw]

❤billy, also great to see Henry learning/ helping you out!

[@suechambers5123]

Congrats Brownie on your new little ones. What a great father and son bonding time.

[@dixiehulings9082]

You are a tease with the pigs. Love it. Will hold my breath untill next video. Thank you for sharing your special moments with us.

[@bambam2cho]

Really enjoyed seeing Henry learning to operate the clutch on the tractor. Won't be long until he gets the hang of it. Looking fwd to the barn addition videos as well. As always thank you folks.

[@cherrydowns7745]

Good learning experiences with Dad. What a handsome young man in the making!

[@berrylee6787]

I stayed up all night for you Pete, Marines aren't supposed to be a stalker. Lol. I wanted to see piggies. I wanted to give a information that will make to you. I love old cars, grandparents owned 88 acres sheep for with animals, great grand father was master watch macker and designer at Hamilton watch company to years. You made red have a soft spot in my heart. Henry is not only my favorite rifle but it's your son I see a bunch potential in his future. I loved your total rebiuling tractors to their former glory. You told you would be lucky to get 50% of your cost back. I just REBUILT my 1969 AMC AMX 390 And I know how much parts cost, knowing tractor parts expensive they are. Dud my hands in to see what they really bring and what they should be. 4 years ago my AMX cost me 10k but I saw the potential. 26 k retail when I bought it retail, IT'S NOW WORTH $ 70, 000 RETAIL SAID HAGERTY INSURANCE. YOUR H is so beautiful and I found AROUND same year as your diesel, 12 volt. The red fanatic wanted to buy it for at most $ 7,500 max because the good stuff already changed but was only 80 % completed. It brought 14, 500 plus fee to buy. Shocked. Did I missing something Pete. Hope it made your day. Neal APOLLO BEACH FLORIDA SEMPER FI

feels like brownie has taken forever to have piglets. billy has grown very quick

[@sharonboles1987]

I wish I could have been that calm and patient with my kids when I was teaching them how to drive! ❤️ your videos!

[@vickiwells6726]

Glad to see ur teaching Henry the tools of the trade. Good for you both 😁 I’ll be happy when Billy’s out of his corner and living the life of a happy pig. I love watching ur channel Pete. Thank u 😊
