You are a blessed man Grant. To me there is nothing better than my wife and I spending a day working around our place to make it better.

[@bryandale7125]

Chains on chainsaws tend to get dull when you run them against metal pipes, which we could hear and even see sparks.

[@mikeharris2985]

Chainsaw should cut wood not pipe rocks or dirt they do get dull quicker 😊👍you don’t know how much stuff you have until you start to clean it up 😂

[@derekwaters932]

A sharp chain on an electric or petrol chainsaw is key to good operation and safe operation. When it’s blunt you can run into all sorts of issues and dangers to yourself. Be safe!

[@smithwn757]

Chain saw safety basics on KZbin. Worth a look.

[@merlinjantz7849]

As far as chainsaws go we have a couple gas ones we use often, my wife got an electric chain saw for Christmas last year! She says every woman that lives on an acreage or farm should have one. And I probably use it as much as she does! Super super handy, highly recommend for light work!

[@KennethWallace-uk2qn]

merry Christmas to laura farms and I can't wait for planting season.

[@MechAnism820]

LOL fires up on the 15th pull, every time.

[@macdaddyin]

I liked Pepper going around and supervising.

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

a hedgerow wind break, what a marvelous idea! Only slightly sarcastic, coming from old restoration method training circa 1930s. NRCS resources.

[@hugeblue]

12/16/23 - Welcome back so sorry to hear of your Grandfathers passing! Merry Christmas from Charleston,SC PS: Laura , you are not supposed to cut Metal straps with a chain Saw!!! Will ruin the chain!!

[@bradolsen8629]

Laura, I love your cute little giggle you sound like a little girl you really are precious Grant you are a lucky man to have that precious girl in your life

[@nathanyoder4509]

Excited to see all the homestead projects to come! Good that you have such a good supervisor in Pepper!😂

[@nighthiker8872]

Some fruit trees that grow good in that in area, apples or pears. Trees grow very wide. Trees soak up the summer heat.

[@drj2162]

get a pto woodchipper or a skid steer forestry attachment. as for trees ... consider Norway Spruce or Dawn Redwoods. buy them wholesale by the 100 count; use a tractor auger to plant. if you soil is alkaline, consider hazelnuts inoculated with truffle spores

[@BigKev059]

it is called a pruning saw ,2 different sizes 6 in and 8 in

[@juanwaller1942]

I’m so glad you got that big smile back. ❤

[@johnensminger7675]

Hope you and Grant had a wonderful day today! Big 3!!😊🎉

[@mminorhsd]

the irrigation pipes you cleaned up look exactly like the ones we used for irrigating citrus groves in Florida

[@chris_f_eden]

One of my best purchases ever was my Husqvarna 20” bar chain saw.

[@douglascampbell9014]

I miss the daily harvest videos!! Also love the practicality! “Lots of useable pallets” 🙂 Merry Christmas to you, Grant, Gage and your families. 🎄 Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings. Take care!

[@richardvand.3925]

Laura and Grant, please never underestimate the power and dangers of a chainsaw whether electric or gas powered. I’ve been around tree workers for a long time, my son is a professional tree worker and accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Always use eye and ear protection, wear a helmet not only to protect you for falling wood but also for kickbacks injuries (short bars have more violent kickbacks than larger ones normally) and wear saw pants. Love your channel!

[@elvisbockstahl]

I like that you remind of the security regulations. I always remember them when I use my own two chainsaws for doing similar work.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

I’d love to fool around on those bobcats. Fun.

[@enteriprse33]

Yeah

[@diytwoincollege7079]

Nebraska definitely needs trees! Lots of trees and flowers to feed the bees. 🐝

[@TroyCenter]

Pepper is a tree cat. Like a Norwegian forest cat. They live in trees.

[@johnpaulhenry2566]

Consider obtaining a battery powered pole chain saw. This will help you remove the higher branches. The one I have is nine feet. It has an optional two-foot extension section for an eleven-foot reach. If possible, find one that uses the same battery as your Milwaukee chain saw. That way, depending on the job you are doing, you will have an extra charged battery available . Say hi to Pepper and Merry Christmas to you and your families.

[@LordNelsonkm]

Milwaukee has a M18 trimmer/bypass cutter/pole saw system. 2825-20ST, 49-16-2719, and 49-16-2720. 3' extension is 49-16-2721. Cause it's M, it's not cheap (duh), but works well.

[@johnpaulhenry2566]

I agree, especially if you extend it to the full length.@@tmwk15

[@miloudmiloud8401]

Please do more videos like this but longer if you can Please God bless yall

[@maebnus46]

Welcome back to the Farm. Hope you both enjoyed the trip, learned about the Large farms there. Do you have any snakes there? A cleanup is good, area will look much better and you can recycle all those metal items. I have heard that the best chain saw, prefered by farmers, is the Husqvarna Rancher Chainsaw. Always wear and use Chainsaw safety items, the limb you might save could be Yours!

[@captharry900]

You really look like your mom! You should thank her. Love what you and Grant do!❤️🦅♥️✝️🇺🇸

[@rossrreyes]

Good Morning Sunshine!! ☀️

[@pianoman4967]

Soooo cool to see such a friendly panther!😂

[@greywolfwalking6359]

Hi ! 👋 to Pepper! Good job on your Homestead!! One step at a time.. it's going to be awesome!! Interested the planting of " barrier " trees ..look to evergreens..deciduous trees ," bare " up ,during the winter..No Wind block..maybe an occasional one..every so often..but a "hedge row" of evergreens will work well!! As to a break in cost,Grant,the forestry co-op office/ ctr ,in your area maybe able,or willing to ( provide) the trees...n you plant them..just a thought to look at!!?? Good Holidays to all N a safe n happy new year!! 👍🦊🎅🐺👍

[@dilubhaikasela5334]

Thank you so much and everybody good morning

[@AlAllerton]

Just noticed, you hit 500k! Congrats 🎈

[@dtktrucker]

My favorite chainsaw is my Husqvarna 455 Rancher 20”. It has a decompression button for easy starting. I’ve used Poulan, Stihl, and Homelite. The old Homelite with manual oil button was a real brute, but they don’t build them like that anymore. Our Stihl has a tool-less cowl release and tensioner, but the on-off switch is very fragile. The Poulan was good for a while, but became a bear to start.

[@johnensminger7675]

Great to see you guys!! Hope things are going well?! Looks good! 😊 Happy 3rd anniversary to you both! A couple days early!

[@Boraxo]

I love my little Milwaukee trim saw too Laura. And I also just bought their trim saw on a pole, with hedge cutting head. Look out bushes, here I come.

[@jawick]

Fruit and nut trees will feed you. Berry bushes and grape vines are also good on a farmer's homestead.

[@scottharbaugh4078]

would LOVE to paint you both an oil painting of your homestead in that beautiful Nebraska sunset. Try to get hold of me.

[@gregwilke6230]

I have the large Milwaukee chainsaw, absolutely love it. But when you were using the chainsaw on branches and small brushy tree's, I was wondering where your large loppers were, they would have been safer, and probably quicker.

[@mcporter03]

My 2 bits are usually ignored. : loping sheers can attack small branch’s and twigs. Chainsaws are for wood, any touch of metal on a running saw is as bad as a rock. It’s file time. Nice video

[@johnensminger7675]

Learning so much! Thanks for sharing!😊

[@ranmarks6739]

You made the 500,000. Mark congratulations! 🎉

[@GrantTravels23]

Sounds expensive, but build it buy trailers for the junk to sit on. We had a RR tie trailer, a scrap metal trailer. A barbed wire trailer etc. We had axels from former farm machinery that we used pallet wood to make a flat bed with. The idea is u can hook up to them to move 10 feet this way or that way to mow, take to a neighbors ranch for them to use, or add to, or take metal to town to scrap. Very versatile when on wheels. Something u might want to consider. We even had our fuel tanks on wheels to work both as fuel storage and fuel trailer.

[@stevedurden193]

Grant says his PullOn Pro cranks on 15th pull every time...funny stuff!

[@johnhelbig7110]

A good pair of pruning loppers will also work wonders on that small; up to an inch or so.

[@TroyCenter]

Thanks for the video. Glad you’re home safe.

[@ld5714]

Hi Laura! It was good seening you and Grant again. You got a lot accomplished at the homestead. Pepper made me laugh when she walked up with that look like "Hey, I'm a farm cat. What the heck are we doing here?" Wishing you and Grant a very Merry Christmas as you gather to honor and celebrate His birth. Have a blessed New Year. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@stanleyroberts2461]

Good to see that smile back.

[@Cheers_Warren]

The electric small tools are great because they always work , simple. Occasionally use great! Cheers Warren

[@paulwalters6879]

I’m glad you’re back.

[@TomRowan777]

Ideas for videos; 1.)Love opening boxes for Christmas! 2.) Laura pole vaulting before she gets to old and feeble! 3.)Laura playing guitar before she gets too old and feeble! 4.) More vacation videos before Laura gets too practical and mature! 5.)More tractor mystery solving! 6.) More Tik Tok dance videos, they are silly and adorable! 7.) Merry Chistmas to the Wilson and Carlson Fams! ❤❤❤

[@tedhansen3846]

It is good seeing You both again!

[@gregoryjohnson1256]

Have the best Holidays! 🌲🎅🤶

[@robertlafollette2236]

Merry Christmas and God Bless.

[@Traks_threw_life86]

Nothing beats the golden sunsets of the plains states! Love the videos 📹

[@bobbybaldeagle702]

My wife is 62yrs. old and 5ft short and a small framed lady. 2 years ago she went out and bought herself a Stihl chainsaw 18 inch. She will NOT no one else use that saw but her. Once she starts cutting logs down for firewood you best stay out her way... LOL... Only time she stops is when she runs out of gas then it's my job to fill with gas and chain oil and sharpen the chain. While I do that she's splitting logs on HER 23 ton log splitter. Once she starts no one can get her to stop until she's done or the sun goes down... As for me I'm disabled out there with my walker or wheelchair. So I do what I can, sometimes it's just running the controls on the log splitter while she puts the logs on. At least we're doing it together. We split around 10 cords ever fall and use most of it by spring. It's cold up here in Wisconsin... Much love... BBE..

[@robertdehring8471]

Happy Holidays Laura And Grant

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

Merry Christmas Laura and Grant!

[@lhollybow]

Pepper what a keen helper and mouser.

[@claudairsocoll]

Wow, so many things scattered around the farm, an energy source that I like and firewood

[@tomdunn7147]

you two are great to watch, thanks for sharing.

[@BeauxKatie]

What a great team!!! Your land mgt appears top notch. Thank you for this video.

[@toddbroeker187]

Got a Milwaukee cordless Sawzall a few months ago, Love it. Cuts through everything! I use it on trees around the house all the time.

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! Merry Christmas

[@silverc4s146]

It cheers me up just watching you two.. Thanks and happy holidays there.

[@easy_watching]

that treeline will close of the yard nicely in a couple of years

[@justanotherviewer52]

One word. Hearing Protection!

[@michaelwilliams7481]

There seem to be a lot of cleaning/tidying up to do, Laura, your chainsaw chain need either replacing or sharpening. Happy Christmas to you both, and your families. Love from Mike. ❤

[@dvidgonzales8376]

Growing up in ventura-santa barbara counties california above Los Angeles there were many large fields with long long lines of trees, i used to like having my picture taken by them

[@roydelonga4860]

Happy Holidays to you and your family (Pepper included)

[@ElijahPerrin80]

Happy 500k, good day to celebrate.

[@user-ve2bu9ql9s]

Merry Christmas to you God Bless

[@Steve007124]

I have this little tiny battery chain saw that is for cutting branches, but always my first choice because you don't have the hassle of a gas chain saw. Love it!

[@SamuelCrockett]

Thanks for the video. Happy anniversary and merry Christmas. We love you.

[@garyricci3562]

Love your videos. I worked on a farm when I was 13 or 14 I loved it. Stay safe. ❤

[@alexgonzalez9627]

Thank you for taking the time to share yalls life with us may God bless yall and keep yall safe always ♥️ 🙏🏼 🌻

[@donmears4090]

Pepper was probably smelling Laura's favorite critters of the rodent variety.

[@glennmercer954]

Yes! I think we all have gotten spoiled with the daily harvest videos. I look every day for a new video so I was happy to find that you made this one. Merry Christmas to everyone.

[@thomaswalsh7487]

You 2 are made for each other, I really enjoy your vedios!! Thank you!!!

[@kenolswfski2511]

I’m sorry about your grandpa,merry Christmas to you and grant

[@richardpedersen9189]

Great video, 'Guys!! Glad for the update on what you're doing, and . . . just glad too see 'ya!!!

[@jeffreynitzel5580]

You need to look into the dewalt pruning sheers...This thing is awesome and with one pull of the trigger it will go through 1" branches!! I love mine!!

[@johnhabeck6153]

Yes, they do work very well. Just watch your fingers...

[@ajolillen]

All I could think. So much faster.

[@joeglenn1480]

A good pair of loping pruners do much better for stuff up to an inch or so, also battery sawzall with pruning blade does wonders.

[@MrGordy2000]

Very nice ,merry Christmas and happy new year from the Jerome family 🎄

[@terrydarow8401]

U guys do an excellent job cleaning up good to keep busy after what has been going on with your lives love u guys ❤ lots

[@yackbuttertea]

I’m looking forward to seeing you at the off-road games.

[@jorgfriedrich7639]

[@bobtucker8875]

As always 😁 great content 👍 guys 😜. Happy Holidays an thanks for sharing 🎉.

[@erich3713]

First time you touched one of those pipes the chain went dull. They don't like hard objects or dirt and rocks...😉

[@netterstyl]

Looks like a great place...for a tornado. Hope if they're in "the alley" (especially) that the first thing they build is a storm shelter. I dated a girl a while back who lived on a wide-open expanse like that, and the wind _never_ stopped blowing. I could open the front door to her place, and the wind would always catch it and try to blow it off the hinges if I wasn't careful. This was quite an abrupt change for me as someone who grew up in the city in a neighborhood with gobs of tall oak trees everywhere as wind breaks. Made spray painting something like a chair outdoors possible. But I made the mistake of trying to spray paint something at her house once and I quickly learned that sort of thing was just not going to be possible.

[@rickferrier3496]

As usual, your positive and uplifting videos entertain and influence us all positively and lovingly. As far as planting windbreaking trees there are some very good studies on planting patterns to get optimum windbreaking performance.
