Holy Buckets! John Deere X9 On The Farm!!

[@artayers2372]

The fact that Onyx had the confidence to ask for help rather than trying to put the tractor and grain cart in a tight spot says volumes about his maturity. That young man will be an asset to the farm for a very long time!!!

[@greggreg8799]

Best X9 video ever!

[@paulpowell9595]

I will admit he's more mature than me. Im afraid to ask for helo because most of the time when I do people get mad at me and tell me I should've known how to do it and reluctantly help me. So yeah props to Onyx for speaking up

[@SamuelManaole]

Great video, a little bit of everybody. There is something about Jim that makes me want more of him. Smart Mechanic, great farm hand and has good humor and really funny when he gets upset ( like the time you two were stranded ) LMAO !!!

Hi, I am from India, never been to the USA, never been to a farm even in India, don’t know what I am doing on this channel. Strange thing is that I have been now watching it for the last one year, have never missed a single episode. I just love watching Zack work, putting in so much effort into not only farming but keeping his equipment always in top shape, doing almost everything on his own. And now the little Onyx getting ready. Congratulations and all the best for all your future endeavours.

7:53 I'm from the city. Dad taught me to mow the lawn at 7-8 years old to my Mothers terror. However, he grew up farming in Iowa and was operating tractors at that age so it wasn't a big deal to him. He taught me how to do it safe and especially how to do it right. Soon after I spent my weekends for years mowing the entire block for 5 bucks each. Him entrusting me with the responsibility really helped shape who I am. I have a very strong work ethic compared to some of my millennial peers. Thanks Dad.

I've got about 200 years of family history in Minnesota. But the original homestead from my great grand parents was all sold from three different relations. Our side my uncle wasn't a very good person made sure that no one could possible purchase and farm it. There was second cousin and I would have loved to keep two portions of the original farm in the family but it just wasn't in the cards. There are no words to express the feelings when I go back and see the ground I grew up on and started farming working side by side with my relatives. The memories oh the memories.

[@thejbhlife3612]

A lot of people don’t truly understand family history and heritage especially when it comes to farming. My family started a farm where I live in the early 1800s. Like yours it’s has gone through many puts and takes over the generations but these last 15 years have seen the worst. For the first time in over 150 yrs the land is no longer farmed by a family member. I have worked for nearly 15 yrs to secure my piece and with the help of very gracious friends and family members there is now once again family farming a small part of our ground with the intention that we build a future for the next generation. I for one understand 100%. It is something that the word grateful just doesn’t seem to describe. Farming is rewarding. Farming is hard. It is not a job, it’s a life. Love the videos. Stay safe.

@Wikkitt Klown In this context, "thicc" is the correct term. Somehow, thicc came to denote something that is bigger than something that is thick, and adding another 'c' (i.e. thiccc) denotes another level of thicc-ness. It seems odd, but it's what happens when you put a billion people on one network that can all talk to each other.

@Jason There isn’t much to complain about in new equipment. Zachs combines go through 1 15th of what Mikes do, so he’s obviously going to have more breakdowns. Zach also doesn’t run a brand new competitors machine like Mike does. Deere would rather give a guy who bleeds green and has a much larger following a new combine, than a guy who has something fairly new to compare to and is very honest about his issues. Mike bashed and found all kinds of issues with the Ideals. Agco came and fixed them. But Deere doesn’t want their reputation ruined and have to cover it up.
