HER Favorite Tool And His NEW Favorite Tool

[@jas0609]

I have lived in Southern California all my life (44 yrs), and seeing the wide open space filled with nothing but grass and crops at @11:36 was just beautiful.

[@staciewood2296]

I think a good name might be Turbo.😂 Having a heavy duty vacuum you will love it and be amazed how much it cleans up and gets in the whatever you call it. Enjoy your new toy.🤗

[@duanejohnson6271]

I own many Mikita tools for many years and have never been disappointed.

[@michaelburgess7703]

I know your cat and the little kitties will Love that thing.🤫😃🤟👍💪🌟

[@dfreeman32]

So miss those amazing Nebraska sunsets.

[@talk2azs]

You guys have a great sunset view to the NE. That is a great sunset shot at 11:42 with the University of Nebraska's KHNE FM 89.1 radio tower in the near distance. :)

[@randyray435]

I am so happy for you and Grant that you stayed focused and got this Homestead. Your yard is looking great. Live long and prosper.

[@Bortnm]

gotta name it 'Mac' for MAKita

[@modacare4546]

or Mack

[@krzysztofmisztal3746]

Pozdrowienia z Polski dla Laury😊😊

[@dawncard4031]

Definitely Mac!

[@austinroysdon8210]

Most definitely Mac

[@normnicholson4689]

"Mac Attack"!

[@bobbygreen2291]

Grant sprinkle a handful of baking soda on the crab grass ,,it kills crabgrass but not other kinds of grass

[@russellbowman8051]

Nice To Hear From L&G Thank You!! For Making That Possible!! Keep Smiling On!! 😄👍👊❤️

[@hugeblue]

8/24/23 - Grass is really looking good ! What a nice home y'all have. Enjoyed the video today.

[@NeilMaclachlan]

Great vacuum... lovely lawn area...awesome view .... good job to both of you Stay safe

[@bluenetmarketing]

Grant's narration and storytelling is really good.

[@bill45colt]

glad to see Grant has outgrown his cap,,,,looks professional now,,,,,thanks,,,

[@samh3029]

Beautiful spot!

[@orchidhouse297]

We love 'Debbie ', our Deebot robot vacuum cleaner. She's an early model with very few sophistications and tends to wake up in the middle of the night with her erie blue flashing light wandering through the house. The remote means we can sit in a chair and drive Debbie around the room. Great fun.

[@FattyFPV]

11:13 Our trees are looking great!🤣🤣🤣

[@danielrobey1759]

Makita tools are awesome!! My brand of choice, they have the best batteries on the market! I’ve got batteries that’s ive been using for a decade and can’t see that they’ve lost any capacity. Those 18v lxt batteries batteries kick ass!

[@paulevans3261]

Much as I love you and Grant's farm videos, it's nice to see these household (so to speak) vids, thanks for sharing. Btw, that speed up on her mowing was funny... A nice afternoon laugh. ❤

[@johngoodroe809]

I'm going with Rita the Makita. Love you guys.

[@BullishBananaTrader]

Ideally, you want to seed in the fall. Nebraska is a cool season lawn area. So, September/October. Spray tenacity during seeding.

[@davidh.8513]

Your right, in a couple places showing Laura mowing that mower is VERY FAST. Hahaha! Your grass looks great and looking for an update on how the vacuum is doing. You both are really fun to watch. Keep up the great videos!

[@johnensminger7675]

Sweet looking machine! I like the name Mac!😊

[@JeffGarrison-xz9qq]

Great choice on toro zero turn mine is 20 years old and blades replacment is all i have ever spent on it plus gas and oil.

[@jameswaechter25]

i think you should name the robot vacuum Steve. love your videos your my favorite KZbinr i love farming and want to be a farmer when i grow up. i cant tell you how much i have learned from your videos

[@daleheide1085]

Hello from Minnesota! My daughter and husband live in South Carolina and have an automated robotic lawn mower. They named him “Gary”. Biggest thing on the mower is to keep it in it’s defined area. It disappeared for a few days after they got it, only to find it a few days later stuck under the hedge row bushes. Interested toy but would rather sweep the shop myself. You’ll have to do a follow up on it after you are done with fall harvesting. You may find it doesn’t have enough capacity or that it won’t handle the clumps of soil that you drag into the shop. I like the new rid mower, much better investment in my book. Still, both units are fun.

[@transmitterguy478]

I love my 60" Toro Zero turn mower, my only regret is I didn't spend the extra money for the "My Ride" option. I've owned it now for 3 1/2 years (in fact I just paid it off two days ago) When I brought it home, In the first 5 minutes of mowing I broke off the shute and bent the blades. I thought I knew how to run one of these zero turns, guess not. Since then I learned how to run it, I built a new shute, based on the Bad Boy mower shutes, I installed the 6 blade adaptors and run heavy-duty blades on the bottom and mulcher blades on top and It cuts great. My mower is 3 - 4 times faster than my old 1993 Craftsman garden tractor. Keep on a mowin' Laura!

[@EBAK-zr6vc]

Its nice to see young people with direction and focus. I was hard working at that age but lacked the direction and focus, looking back I wish I gave that top priority.

[@randy6650]

Enjoyed watching the video Làura and Grant 😊

[@peterkelly9614]

What is great is that you two guys are always together everyday - both working and leisure. Few people have this benefit. Of course this puts extra pressure on the relationship - but if it is good - it reinforces it.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

The lawn.looks reallly.Awesome.

[@mysticstarhf9265]

What ?!?! It's not a Deere mower? 🙂 Beautiful land around your home.

[@Humbertosms]

11:46 WOW That's so beatefulllllll.... Nice JOB

[@jerrycutright3267]

If the Makita is like the house robo vacuum you can get towers that emit a signal to keep the robot out of places you want to block it from.

[@RaXXha]

This one has an app, considering it has LiDAR it can most likely mapp the space it's in and then the app can be used to mark places it's not allowed to go.

[@davidknudson6382]

That yard is coming along very nicely.

[@steveschmitt5137]

Hey guys, now that you have a lawn you put down crab grass preventer as soon as there's no more chance for a frost in the spring. We use Scott's with halts, works great. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the you're harvest.

[@mikeknowles8017]

I like that clear box because it gives you a last chance to find dropped nuts and bolts and other hardware. Edit: I forgot to mention any and all 10mm sockets that attempt to escape! 🤣

[@halorail]

Glue a magnet to the bottom

[@mikeknowles8017]

@@halorail Not a bad idea. I work in the Aerospace business and all our FOD sweepers have magnets.

[@joefudd]

It's always the 10mm sockets and they always roll under the vehicle to the very center to make them the most difficult as possible to recover!

[@1lilfarm]

Bought my Toro Z-Master in 1999 and it has been great. No suspension on mine but I still love it. 👍👍👍

[@johnsandell4501]

Nice to see success in your lawn farming.

[@glennmiller1629]

You're going to love that vacuum it's great! The yard looks terrific its make the house look better even!!

[@michaelwilliams7481]

I think I would be like you two watching it doing the cleaning when first using the Robotic Cleaner, thanks for the update on your lawn, it will take a while to get it how you want it. I wonder where your cat will choose to have her kittens. Love from Mike. ❤

[@barrygravett6937]

Congratulations for the new vacuum robot , your grass is really looking good ,all the best to you both.Tons of love to all.

[@ricksuydam5718]

Wow! Can't believe how your Toro ran through that tall, thick stuff... totally impressed!

[@michaelsearnest]

So much fun... Can't wait to get my shop built so I can get that Makita shop vacuum. Thanks for sharing!

[@bernardgardner6670]

Great looking farmstead!

[@kevindelaney1951]

Wouldn’t a shop vac… the size of an ice rink zamboni be the more likely tool for that farm equipment shop floor?

[@mjr_WhitenerAR]

Yard is looking really good. Like you said, been a horrible year in central us to start a yard, but despite that your off to a great start! It will be so rewarding to look back 5 years from now and see the progress of your hard work.

[@jeffprui]

Ye Haa baby! You two are a joy to my heart! Hi there Pepper, I too look forward to seeing those kittens, Laura! Cheers

[@ronaldcarter9860]

Your home looks great Laura and Grant!..always enjoy your videos!

[@perjohansson3030]

WOW what a beautiful start to that video 👍🏻🌹👍🏻

[@ottisthedog3544]

couple points on the vac. things you will figure out im sure but here goes. my family has had "Roomba's" since they first came out (grandma had the first one). 1. get a couple "blockers" that stop it from going in certain places its like a laser beam that it wont cross. 2. dont expect it to do to big an area use the blockers to break up the barn into sections. 3. use 2x4s to keep it out from under the tool boxes i put risers under the legs of my couch because it had the same height problem. there is that bad height that the bumper wont hit and turn it, but the round thing on the top of the sweeper hits. 4. keep in mind that every time it hits something it makes in point in virtual space until it gets a perimeter and decides where there are obstacles with in that perimeter.

[@polycat7670]

I got the MyRide version as well. Definitely comfortable.

[@joefudd]

That weed killer that turns the weed's foliage white is called "Tenacity". It's really good stuff when used properly. Like anything else, I won't ever apply it when it's really hot and humid from July through mid September because the good turf grasses will be stressed by it, even though they say it won't. I found that out the hard way and destroyed my awesome fescue lawn twice because of the heat and chemical stresses along with the fungus that also attacks lawns that time of the year. Using weed killer and fertilizer in the hottest months seems to make the fungus really take off and ruin the grass. But keep on killing those grassy weeds until you break their reseeding cycle and then your desired turf grasses will eventually win out. It takes time, usually a few years to get a lawn right, especially in rural areas like your farm.

[@marcdurso6411]

Next door in Kansas, we had apple and pear and plum trees that would fit right in the big green yard!!!!

[@richardbrooks3569]

I have an irobot in my house and we love it. To begin with, you have to send it on mapping sessions. It might not hurt to read the instructions.

[@pkane5472]

Ha Ha! I was quietly whispering that to them!

[@jefferycase909]

I love the way you two interact. TRUE LOVE . Keep on doing what you do. God bless

[@robertrichter6936]

Laura I am surprised you didn’t buy an EXMARK Lazer Z mower since their factory is located nearby in Beatrice, Nebraska. Toro Co. purchased EXMARK Co . around early 2000’s, EXMARK started around 1982, same location just smaller back then.

[@WaxyClockwork]

the yard is starting to look really good. the new shop pet is awesome i want one for my shop now so i don't have to sweep it anymore!

[@gregboyd7728]

Yard looks great.

[@harolderwin5354]

Good luck with your Toro mower. I have lots of trees in my back yard so years ago I bought a Toro Leaf vacuum. Not a robot type either, I had to push it all around the trees and yard. It died after one season and I have never tried to repair it because it did not do a very good job. Its still in my utility shed covered in dust.

[@TonyPaul-j4i]

Congratulations ❤❤❤

[@kevinwiley9696]

Nice Job on the grass!!

[@talegunner4414]

what a beautiful farm great work Laura and Grant!

[@lgrantnelson2863]

Once you keep it running there shouldn't be a lot of dirt in the box. I hope it works well for you guys. Good to see the grass is up. Toros are good machines. Happy sweeping and mowing.

[@shopshop144]

one piece from a dirty tractor tire would be enough to fill that little box. The idea is good, but I think there needs to be a very heavy duty version with a much larger container for what it sucks up.

[@ralphkearns7600]

Again!!! Thank you very much!!! I love your videos and it makes no difference what the content!!! One of my two favorite channels. Have not seen many, but some, and none outshine yours and 'Ambition Strikes'!!! Again, thank you.

[@georgew.5639]

We have crabgrass growing everywhere where at our golf course. Except in areas that are in play. It seems to be a good year for crabgrass growth. ⛳️

[@charlesdurham6793]

The yard looks great

[@davidjohnston710]

Love the way Laura talks about it like it’s doggie pet or something. I don’t know if I would get that attached to it. Pepper might get jealous. I hear you on the heat of this summer. I am in Northern Texas and we’ve had no rain at all where I live for nearly 3 months. Even with daily sprinkler watering I’m gonna lose nearly all of the small bushes across the front of the house (and they were all replacements for established bushes that died abruptly last summer. Also a favorite red maple in the back yard went crispy and died this year - gonna have to take it down this fall. Water only helps as long as the plant’s transpiration system continues. I honestly think the heat scorching is what is killing them. Well over a month of temps above 108. Crazy!!!! I’m gonna reconsider the species I plant as replacements this time, by looking around at other properties to see what survived - maybe the boxwoods or just go back with purple fountain grass. If we are in a location with longterm climate shift for the summers here, it could get very expensive by planting the wrong stuff! Good luck y’all. Seeing young farmers carrying on the tradition brings a lot of hope and encouragement to me and I’m sure others. You are, as they say, “salt of the earth”. How can you not be moved by Laura’s smile, enthusiasm, and Grant’s gentle wisdom, and perseverance!

I know Nebraska has Huge Winds!!!! but is it that bad in your neck of Neb raska! I was born in Iowa, raised in Illinois, that is one state I never want to return to!!! HAHA, You both make me wish I was young again!!! and that's a freakin scary thought in todays world!!! Stay Blessed Always.

[@davidbetts480]

Hello Laura and Grant, all that hard work is now starting to pay off, looking awesome. ❤

[@y0uRF4t3]

You could look into getting a mowing robot. Husqvarna makes nice outdoor ones that can cope with slopes. They mow your grass every other day, and most weeds can't tollerate that. Makes for a great looking lawn without needing lots of products.

[@terryhubbard1141]

Your lawn is very green....looks great. Pine beetles could have killed that tree. Hope not. The lawns in North Texas are dried up and crunchy. Have only mowed once this summer. We are not getting any rain either. Can't wait to see the Pepper kittens.

[@michaelpifferi7815]

Hope it does. Neat gadget. I would like one. Yeah. Name for the sweeper. The Iowa Farm Boy. Laura I like your mower. Yes, you have to put gas in it for it to work. Just giving you a bad time. Ha.
