Fixing A Flat Tractor Tire

[@thomasmatteson9284]

Dear Laura, I love seeing your videos. You are almost always so happy and bubbly. I am sorry about the loss of your grandfather. Your tribute was very touching. I used to work on various farms and it's so great to get to share with you all the various farming activities. Although I live in Albuquerque, I bought a 1941 Farmall M tractor and had it in my yard for almost 20 years. That was what I used to work on when I worked on my uncle's farm. You demonstrate and explain everything you are doing very well and it's such a great learning experience for me, as well as being very entertaining. I see some of the things I wanted to tell you have already been mentioned in the comments below, but I wanted to mention to you that the word idle means that an engine is running at its lowest speed and usually not doing any work. So instead of saying "idle up", you might consider saying I'm throttling up or I'm increasing the rpms or as your dad said the other day, moving the throttle to "full bunny". The only other thing I'd like to mention, and that I know you are already aware of, is the spinning shafts on the pivots which run the pumps. Each one of those should have a guard on it, preferably one your hair can't get down through. If your hair ever got caught in one of those spinning shafts it would be disastrous. You probably would not survive. Same thing with spinning belts on other machinery. Many of the old time farmers were missing a finger or two and it was because of those pulleys and belts. You are so cute, please don't let anything happen to you. Farming can be very dangerous. Please keep up your wonderful videos and we will all continue to share them with you. Tell your dad I like his videos, too. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas. Tom

Laura Farms, you are so amazing and so beautiful. Health problems do i dont get to see all your videos, but when i see one you guys made, i feel so happy, i love to see "real" work done, and it make me happy to see "someone" like you do these amazing things you do in all these videos. Love from Denmark :)

[@adrianpritchard5143]

Laura that is so funny when you mention about taking dirt from one pile to another pile, I had do something very similar earlier this year,and a while ago you mentioned about harvesters and tractors going along the road, that is a common thing for me where I live in Victoria Australia, I am about 20 minutes outside of Ballarat and I had pull my car off to one side of the road to let a harvester drive past and a tractor pulling a grain cart.

[@SamuelCrockett]

I love to see guys laughing and having fun. How does a young Christian farm couple spend the Christmas holidays?

[@johnzannini1372]

My heart leapt with joy hearing you laugh again. Thank you for sharing the stories of your life. You are a blessing! ❤

[@bobdubree4718]

Awesome post, I've done dirt work all My life. If you pushed though pile on 45 ° angle. Can get 3 or 4 buckets moved at a time. Try not to get one bucket at a time. Just FYI, love all your and Grant's videos ❤

[@ArizonaKid]

Good to see ya back

[@jamesward6106]

I enjoyed you Laura putting one over on Grant on the tire; usually he is laughing at you , great to have you laughing behind the camera

[@johnensminger7675]

Great to see you guys!! Praying still for you and your family! Enjoy your channel a lot!😊 So much fun!

[@sitchad]

And her nails remain perfect, great job Laura.

[@thomasbreed8270]

I'm so glad to see your back at "farm life" and having fun with Grant and Gage. We have missed your effervescent personality and the videos of your farm/life journey. You and your family are still our thoughts and prayers. Also, congratulations on meeting your goal of over 500K subscribers before the end of the year! Merry Christmas and wishing you a very happy New Year.

[@buckshotnicks3505]

It's great to see you all having a little fun with each other during a hard day's work. Keep up the great videos of your life's adventures

[@randyray435]

I am so happy to see you vlogging. I hope all is going well with you and Grant. My best wishes for you both and Merry Christmas and Happy Anniversary. 500k, what a milestone!!

[@MrCrazycook8]

Is Laura going to throw a party for all of us 500k subscribers?

[@randyray435]

That would be fun but I think she has been under some stress with the Holidays and her Papa Curt passing away. @@MrCrazycook8

[@normnicholson4689]

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS wish to You, Laura, and Grant!! Norm ❤💓💯🙏🙏🇺🇸

[@aaronwilson4083]

Laura, glad your back! We have a square drag made out of roughly 10x6 square tubing, roughly 9' wide. All you want to pull with 80 PTO HP when it gets a load piled ahead of it, would work nicely to level your road. I use it quite often to smooth fields and mole hills.

[@TomRowan777]

I just thought of this and I am certain I am not alone in this. Laura Farms is the only girl I allow to interupt the NFL on Sunday!❤😊

[@joshsuperduty1270]

Glad your doing better Laura

[@ChadPrestonOfficialThree]

You could angle the front of the Bobcat's bucket down and drag it backwards to smooth that dirt out. Just a thought.

[@kenmabie8029]

Back drag. Turns Bobcat into a scraper/smoother.😊

[@Cindyloudickel]

My husband said the same thing. He is a earthmover! A tube would have been good also!

[@TroyCenter]

I just love that you have a 2019 bobcat. Nice. Have fun. What a great tool to practice with.

[@TroyCenter]

7:05 the Christmas nails (red!) look awesome. Thank you for so many great videos this year. Celebrate!! Merry Christmas. Grants lucky to have you. ;)

[@michelbrodeur6055]

You should not use grease as it will deteriorate the rubber I would use dish soap. Great video on making the access to the field.

[@cedricbroussard8738]

Awesome driveway! Y'all killed it!! Awesome job 👏

[@randycharest4507]

I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO LAURA AND GRANT 😊

[@chuckjames1943]

Your Bobcat is more than capable of smoothing out your road. Just run over it forward with the bucket level and at ground level. That will gather up all of the high spots. Now at the edge of the road dump the excess dirt and then tilt your bucket down and back drag the dirt you have gathered. It may take a few passes to make it level, but it will work well. Good luck. I like your videos and enthusiasm.

[@andrewsteenrod4796]

If you have some old chain link fence or something like a log that you can chain up behind a tractor and run across the dirt it will smooth it off pretty good

[@iamthenra1968]

It's awesome to hear you laughing... makes me feel good! ❤ Also you may want to get some class 5 to go over the top of that, because when it rains and gets wet it will be very greasy and a great place for the semi's to get stuck...

[@dsop66]

You have to be the cutest farmer on KZbin. I love the joy you exude in these videos. It’s clear that you love what you do. 👏👏👏

[@tacydit]

Be careful she doesn't like that.

[@dsop66]

There is no disrespect at all. In a world of fake she is the real deal and she does it with a lot of class

[@jtelander]

Well done! As I watched your work, it occurred to me that your grandfather would be very proud.

[@steve-k3y9h]

I think you did a great job building the driveway

[@michaelwilliams7481]

Laura, there is often something new to watch. What a good job you have done, making a better entrance. I remember you using a machine on the field to break up the lumps, with rollers on it, that could smooth the entrance out. Love to the team, from Mike. ❤

[@CashAndCoinsYT]

Thank you for your smile!

Not to get too personal; but Laura you have the nicest laugh.

Funny laughter Laura. Keep Grant on his Toes. Lol

[@bobbolieu9013]

Great work moving the dirt and putting it to good use. Love the shop fun with the tire. Laughter is refreshing

[@ckirubakarane]

God bless you, you are doing unbelievable work.

[@keithmcallister4917]

Nice job! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous new year!

[@Paul-wz3bz]

Never use grease on a tire. The tire is made of oil and the grease can damage the rubber. Get a tub of Murphy's soap or tire butter. It works great and will not hurt a very expensive tire. I ran a farm service truck for 25 years and that made me cringe. Lol. Love your videos. I miss being on the farms and dealing with the local Indiana farmers. Have a great holiday season.

[@craigbigbee6395]

Or do like we used to. Ether!

[@aaronwilson4083]

@@craigbigbee6395 I was surprised they didn't resort to ether, LEAAD seems to have pretty good luck with it.

[@caseyfiedler2848]

Good to hear you all laugh. Glad you are doing well. Still praying for you and your family 🙏. Stay safe out there. You and Grant are doing some fabulous work. Enjoy seeing Gage is still working for you.

[@johndavidson6867]

Looking at your field approach, I think you did really good with the equipment you had. May have to top coat it in a few years as it packs down more.

[@richardnew1215]

Don't you need a culvert under that dirt work for proper water management along the ditch? Glad to see you guys back at it. 😀

[@daveolson5042]

My thoughts exactly!

[@tarefoot]

I was looking to see if someone would comment on that.....👍👍👍

[@steven.h0629]

It's not considered a 'river' that would need to flow or drain somewhere, it's more a catch 'basin' to divert water from the road. Eventually soaks into the surroundings.. very common on unpaved roads. Not sure if the catch has a name other than what it simply does.

[@grantfluegge8839]

Why not just farm to the road and pick up a few acres??

[@ranmarks6739]

​@@steven.h0629 I live on a Gravel Road and I'm from Iowa I had to get a permit and inspection and draw up plans on the size and ramp leading to the Driveway with Culvert angled ends just so if a driver went off the roadway into the ditch he wouldn't hit a wall of dirt and get killed... the ditch is considered part of the roadway and will be maintained by the county that you live in

[@jasonhu-gg3vf]

You did a great job🎉

[@TroyCenter]

5:01 There’s Grant. Hey buddy! Looking good.

[@jeromesmith6449]

Great video Laura & Grant . Throw some stone in & pack it in. That will help for a solid base

[@marshall3376]

Good Morning, Laura! I really enjoy your enthusiastic approach to farming, and life in general. I was wondering if you considered putting a pipe under your new field driveway to handle any ditch flow during rain events. Otherwise, you might have a ponding problem. Just wondering?!?

[@hawks2252]

I was wondering as well if they were going to put a culvert in first. Must not be a water drainage ditch? I am sure they know if they needed a culvert or not.

[@davidkettell6236]

it does not rain much in Nebraska apparently ,In Ohio the fields would be flooded from run off from the road.

[@markk8225]

I'm in Indiana and in my county, any access from a public road HAS to have a culvert. I learned this many years ago when I bought land and developed it.

[@thegreenlaser215]

I was also about to point out that not having a culvert defeats the point of having a drainage ditch, as it can not longer drain.

[@JohnMP1963]

I'm in Victoria, Australia and there is no way that we can do anything like that next to a public road without getting authorisation from the local government council even if it is on your own land. Definitely a water pipe or culvert should have been installed first even if it doesn't rain much in Nebraska, you still get storms every once in a while, that's why there is a ditch there in the first place.

[@bulldog6925]

Laura, you can tell how your patrons like your videos! Everyone likes the comments from others!

Great work Laura, Grant and Gage! Lovely to see the working relationship you all have with each other, and the good natured banter that is critical to that! Much ❤to you all!

Glad y’all got back safely from your trip it’s amazing how other countries uses and comes up with different ways of taking care of equipment and how they can come up with different things to make equipment from

Awesome work!

[@ranmarks6739]

Laura Driveway is not a Road nor is it a Field!!! LOL im a old Farmer from Iowa and last year i had to install a culvert in my new Driveway with a permit and inspection for the Driveway from the Roadway to the Field or Yard ... County Roads Commission, May have some say in your driveway... FYI

Thx for sharing. Informative. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

either a smooth-roll packer (filled with water) or a coil packer with some weight added, would help a lot...

Not boring in the least! Anything that makes the farm work is interesting. Curious as to why no culvert was used.

In ND we call that driveway into a field, an approach.😁

[@rackets001]

I always wonder, when someone does work like this, isn't there a need for some kind of culvert piping to lay underneath? It seems any purpose the ditch served is now gone as it has been dammed up.

Darn, I was hoping you would use fire to remount the tire, LOL. Good content as always.

Laura, we had to do the same thing on my brother -laws farm because the county road had holes in the middle of fields. The next day a farmer. Filled the holes so we get the grain truck in middle of the field.

[@arti8364]

The variety of tasks you accomplish continues to amaze me. I thought there was another video coming from you Argentina trip

[@ronaldlemen8457]

Did you put a clovert tile under your new entrance drive so you don't block natural water flow of the ditch

[@bobf4765]

Nice road, just need to back drag it. Set your bucket to Float, lower it down, tilt the bucket so the cutting edge is about 45 degrees & back up... lots. Takes a bit of practice bit it will work out.

[@larryjones1774]

Hay Laura just wondering if that's a state maintained dirt road. If you lived in the state I used to work for they would have us open that ditch back up and make you put at least two lines of culvert pipe down.

[@bobtucker8875]

Very interesting 🤔 content guys 😎. Thanks for sharing.

[@thegunlovingcanadian]

Is there regulations on your little roads? I'm curious? Do you sometimes have to drop a small culvert or can you just dump some dirt and make your own entrance anywhere you want? Example: near an intersection? I'm genuinely curious.....

[@MarkJohnson-ou6xz]

Does the entry road affect roadside water flow? Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@ld5714]
