Thanks Ben, you're a great neighbor. I'm sure this saved Jason a lot of time. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@jerrybrady9103]

Love seeing neighbors helping neighbors. You guys are some of my favorite youtubers😊

[@paulahughes6031]

They both keep it so real 👍.

[@amandamarie3583]

Sow the land and Holler homestead are the two channels that have remained consistent and real. I appreciate that about them.

[@suesweetpea7]

JASON, YOU ARE BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND LIKE BEN, USING HIS TRACTOR AND AUGER IS REALLY SAVING YOUR BACK AND TIME.

[@ladysmith3988]

You and Ben know how to show people what "community" means. You both help each other out a lot: cleaning/building, butchering, equipment... never mind just plain awesome friendship. So cool!

[@shawnsteene5499]

It is so awesome that you have friends and neighbors like the Hollars -- community in action -- folks helping each other in turn. Love it!

[@pincheguarito591]

Homesteading isn't just about growing food and children, it's also about building community.

[@19Lou77]

Jason you never cease to amaze us with your willingness to try... you are such an incredible person and we're all blessed to have you!! Not only do you TRY, but, from what I've seen, you succeed!! Don't ever change your true authentic self and you and Lorraine are going to SUCCEED every time!! I've watched just about every other Homestead channel and 'Sow The Land' is by far our favorite! That's why we keep coming back for more, you are so relatable and very talented. We've really learned so much from y'all guys! (See what I did there 🤔)...😂 "Y'all guys"!😂😶‍🌫️🤭

[@pathoward5721]

Mine too ❤❤❤

[@kellierebkowec625]

That was great for Ben to lend you the tractor! But that’s what friends do…help one another.

[@amysvob3066]

For many years I tried to get my husband to bite the bullet and get a Kubota. Once he finally did he wishes he hadn’t waited so many years. If you can afford to put this into your budget or another tractor it’s such a valuable member of the homestead. Working smarter as we get older helps preserve us so we cal also use that energy for more things. Love to you and the girls and the Hollars! I also see you the grapplers which we have and love for moving cut brush and when we cut trees down we pick them up and saw them for firewood. Kubota sells sets which we picked the grapple, brush hog, box scraper and forks.

[@TYGER0902]

Yeah, Ben got another brand of tractor.

[@GGMASherry]

Ben talked about loaning you his tractor on his last post. So glad you have him as a neighbor! The Holler homestead is an amazing family!😊

[@ciaobella8963]

What a blessing. I have asked God to give you a free tractor before, and I will continue to ask😊👍. Nice work Jason.

[@cyndegruver6520]

Good job Jason!! I love your sense of humor, Mr. Roger’s .I’m so old I think about Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green jeans. ❤

[@AZJH8374]

Thank you, Ben!!! I love the podcast. That's where l learned he lent it to you. Jason, you & Lorraine are phenomenal people. && Penelope, mom & dad. Let us know how your dad likes the cured ham!! Many prayers 🙏🏻 for you all. 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister. 🙏🏻

[@joannschultz-4972]

Good job Jason. Thanks to Ben Hollar for the loan of the tractor.

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@kgs2127]

Thank You Ben🥰 Good Friends are priceless eh Jason💖

[@diannemiller4754]

This is such a wonderful blessing. Thanks Ben for helping out with your tractor and augur. This will be a time saving tool for Jason. 😊

[@100acrehustle2]

I love both yours and Holler Homsteads content, look forward to new videos every morning when I wake up!!!!!

[@cariepickerell5334]

Jason, my husband wants you to know you only need H braces at the corners and at a gate. Also when your digging the holes, stop the auger when your at the bottom of the hole and raise auger out. This prevents you from leaving so much dirt in the hole to remove. He just wanted to share his knowledge as he has been building fence for most of his adult life. God bless.

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Great job Jason‼️ A tractor is in your future so just be patient. Shout out to Ben Hollar for the loan of his tractor. 🤗❣️

[@Franciso-so1bg]

So glad that Ben was able to help out. And you deserve a "day off" for all the other days you work so hard. You made lots of progress today.

[@gelwood99]

Neighbors and community are what make life worth the doing! Love you both!

[@dr3406]

💕💗💕🙏🙏🙏 Thank you Lord Jesus for blessing Jason, with the use of Ben’s tractor.

[@ChrisMeek-gg5de]

Paint your lines and keep digging holes while you have the tractor, easily cleaned out by your one man. Cheers, Jason

[@pamelacrowell2007]

A tractor is a tool you think you don't need unril you use it. It makes so many jobs so much lighter and faster. It mows, digs holes, hauls junk, pulls out trees and posts, moves hay bales, lifts heavy loads...just to name a few. Jadon, you need a tractor to add to your tool arsenal! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@IngDebo]

So glad to see you using the tractor. What a generous friend! You work so hard!

[@jills5939]

Game changer tractor, and Great forever friends. 🕊

[@Gardendreamsforme]

If you drill all the holes and put a post in or next to each hole you’ll make really good time. Less idling for the tractor, less fuel waste. Take more than one post at a time too. You need a tractor so badly. Prayers you’re able to get one sooner rather than later.

[@dksu3307]

Tractor for the WIN!!

[@glennylane6854]

Ben is a good friend!

[@janwolvin2773]

Thanks Ben for helping Jason out

[@taze27]

Ben Holler and his channel are awesome as well. What a friend he is. God bless you guys. ❤

[@richardroyles1423]

Nothing better than a good friend. God bless.

[@deboraheversole1303]

Blessed to be a blessing! You share the cooler and he shared the tractor. Awesome friends!

[@savedsole3848]

You three Amigos are blessed to Have Each Other! Can’t have enough Great neighbors! Bless You all

[@kindness5130]

Kindness of friends abound. Blessings.

[@jimpokorny4598]

Jason, You figured that post hole digger out quick!! Even the tractor looks like a pleasure to use. It sure saved your back. 👍

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@paulahughes6031]

That’s one hell of a size remote control Ben borrowed you there 😂🤣😂. Jason anything you put your mind to you crack it 👍. It’s amazing to hear both yourself and Ben sing each praises 👏👏.

[@TheGoodlifeoffgrid]

Lovely and lovely friend Ben 😊😊

[@kimkramarski-smith774]

Love the Hollar Homestead !

[@sister_num7516]

Good friend to have!

[@SifiFan]

Shoot out to Ben. Thank you for being a helpful neighbor.

[@mariesheppard3750]

Thanks Ben , nice to see Jason so happy, and relaxed, Fence will go up so much faster,

[@SowtheLand]

Hope so!

[@googacct]

I have lived on 5 acres for about 25 years now. The first couple of years I lived on my property, I did not have a tractor As soon as I could afford it, I bought one. I could not imagine living on an acreage without one.

[@oatherslegacyfarm]

Absolutely loved watching the journey of drilling those 20 holes with the borrowed tractor! It's amazing how much more efficient and less physically demanding the task became compared to using a one-man auger. Your learning curve with the tractor and auger, plus the strategic planning for the fence and gates, was really insightful. Shoutout to Ben for lending the tractor, making the process smoother and quicker. Can't wait to see the completed fence around the property! 🚜🌳 #DIYFarmFence #TractorAdventures

[@corabankston2244]

Such a great community that has came together in this homestead group. There has been helping hands for each projects. Just think each new human life, animals have came into each of our you-tube videos. Shows what compassion they share for each other. Great job and time saving to the fence project. Blessing

[@carolkimbell5174]

I am so glad that Jason and Ben are friends and live close together!

[@skippyvsamy6768]

It's so wonderful to watch you guys help each other out

[@leahr.2620]

Just finished watching Ben and Meg's latest video, they are good friend to have!

[@StoneKathryn]

That's great that Ben had you borrow his tractor to get your fence done. That's so nice of him. Wow, 20 holes! It does look like you were getting better drilling the holes later in the day Jason. I'm glad you didn't get tired out! That must have saved you many hours of work using Ben's tractor! Thanks for this video Contreras family!

[@oxenrat]

Friends helping friends achieve goals, that's fellowship. So pleased you all found each other, I thoroughly enjoy the passion each family brings to the table. Hollars, Rhodes, Sowards, Contreras ... plus many more always helping and lifting each other up. Been loving the journey on the new property Jason, I remember you and Lorraine filling the little shop in Asheville with all your wonderful goods all those years ago.

[@pampilgrim2274]

Yay, Jason. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks, Ben, for the tractor loan!!!!!!!

[@PICARDY610]

AWESOME TO HAVE COMMUNITY! YOU GAVE THE HOLLARS A HOLLA AND THEY ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS

[@ItsMe-wm4mc]

That's very nice of Ben.

[@miephoex]

Yay 😀. You’re smiling! What a helping hand! Glad you’re having a good day and time! I’ve haven’t laughed as hard as I did this morning when you told your dream to Al and Ben about being a violinist! 😂

[@SowtheLand]

😁

[@TheMennomilist]

It is great you have friends out there who will lend out big items so you won't have to buy any of them, but will be able to do the job you need to. Great job.

[@ilzitek2419]

So good to have amazing neighbors. ❤

[@susiepederson1241]

It's always great to have helpful neighbors!

[@WACRE44]

Wow that was so nice of him to let you borrow the tractor, and it’s so much faster, cool 😎 thanks

[@vickilee2185]

Now you owe Ben some baby sitting time. So glad to hear gaming helped with the digging. Wondered when all those hours would add up. Good job for all. Thanks Hollars. Blessings

[@missykuss9975]

Yay for great friends! You did a great job. What a time saver!

[@SowtheLand]

Yes it was!

[@shadegarden7375]

Ben is one of the best! I love how all of you are a wonderful community of close friends!!

[@debralairson4270]

So wonderful you guys can borrow from each other n make it work!!

[@gailbrault9251]

Looking good, Jason. Thank you, 😊Ben

[@Kelleena1on1]

Good job Jason now, if we all pitched in we could afford to get you a your own tractor but it’s nice to have good friends with tractors. Thank you, Ben Holler.

[@chezj4]

Awesome!! Thanks Ben!

[@vernahelvikmontanamomma8737]

Good friends are to find. You are lucky

[@opalezell2166]

I so proud Ben let you use his tractor and equipment. I have John Deere tractor but I'm in South Ms.

[@douglasbooker8330]

Jason! Your getting it done spring is coming in quickly and the family great for Ben for looking out for you. God Bless

[@ericjohnson1008]

Great to have friends with tractors.

[@belieftransformation]

Great neighbours that help each other out! Thanks for taking us along! The progress is wonderful! Blessings 🤗🇨🇦

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

So happy for you! Ben to the rescue and I know you've helped Ben too! This has saved a lot of time and muscle cramps so I'm excited to see the next video! Butch in Idaho.

[@sclivestock5943]

Jason you mentioned about installing some gates. A full one piece 16 ft gate has a tendency to sag from weight. Maybe consider 2 8ft gates. At least from my experience it works better. I actually go a bit longer and allow for some overlap. Doing a great job on the fencing project. Scott. Alberta Canada

[@katel9378]

Yay Ben to the rescue! Thank you, Ben! You need a tractor sponsor! Where can I go to vote so you can get a tractor?

[@JacksonJohnson-jv7rn]

Good idea jason

[@authorcharlieboring]

When I was about 15 in the late 1950s, my Vocational Agriculture teacher, Mr. Dozier, hired me and two other students to tear out an old barbed wire fence and build a new one. This was in West Texas and the fence row was filled with prickly pears and mesquite trees. In this brush there were a lot of rattle snakes. My job became checking for the snakes and killing them before we cleared the brush and removed the old fence. At the end of the job, I had more than 30 rattles.

[@stevealldred4424]

Ben is a great guy! Helping each other is what it's all about. Too bad Al Lumnah doesn't live close you could all three work on projects together!

[@5GreenAcres]

Friends/neighbors helping neighbors. Ben got to use the cold storage for his beef...he would have been screwed without it. Jason got to use the tractor...a win win. Granted the tractor was much more expensive and if something breaks....not good. But I am sure Jason would repair any damage. What a great couple of guys with great wives and family.

[@aubreyowings8315]

Amazing job on your fence! love both of your channels and the wealth of information you share. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@maryalexander4091]

You did it! That's what neighbours do, help out! Shout out to Ben.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

That's what neighbors do. Can't wait for you to get the fence up.

[@AZJH8374]

How many miles do you and Ben live from each other? I've watched both of you from day one!! Love every minute of it as well! How's your health, Jason? I pray for you 🙏🏻 daily.

[@douglasgatian1401]

Gotta love Ben and his family!!

[@crystalwaldrep5775]

It is great to see communities coming together and helping eachother

[@jahnkecy]

Jason, put the sugar down and then back the tractor up a little to drill down straighter.

[@PattyPrice-tl7bc]

Thank you Ben I'm so glad you guys are wonderful friends and can help each other out Ty Morning Jason Your one hard working man I'm so happy Ben told you to use the tractor you deserve a nice break once in a while

[@clarencewiles963]

Ben in to save the day!

[@Nicky_anne]

Progress, so exciting 🙌😍 what a kind gesture to lend his tractor.. but that also means you're obviously trust worthy and a kind human aswell. Love watching your channel

[@ruthmcbride1778]

Once upon a time (more than twenty years ago) when I really needed to fence the perimeter of our property along the highway. I spent two weeks digging holes in rocky soil. I had a lot of holes startedNd only a few posts set. Then we rented an auger on a skid steer ( this auger was on the front and had downward force) we had to do what we could in one weekend. We drilled 100 holes on rocky rooty soil in one day. We ran out of fence posts. We bought a tractor after that. If i were going to do the perimeter of a property again I would probably rent the skid steer again and use my tractor to haul gravel tools and fence posts. Enjoy the tractor and congratulations on all your progress. I have a feeling you are getting closer needing a tractor Best of luck to you and your family. 😊❤

[@mariapina1973]

awesome to have good friends / neighbors that are willing to give a helping hand 🙂🌻

[@paulawhite2882]

I like your groovy music. Easy on the ears and makes for a peaceful video+

[@ratsbuggy5818]

Took me a few posts to get the hang of it too. I learned shut off the pto when raising the bit. It's a lot less cleaning the holes when done drilling

[@shadegarden7375]

Dig ALL the holes you will need!! This is a wonderful loan to you!
