She's Tired of picking up rocks! So we put this little tractor to work!

[@josephboley]

Good morning Josh and wifey. Hope North Carolina weather is as nice as it is in West Virginia. Almost 70 degrees here for the past few days.

[@josht4659]

Joseph Boley what part of West Virginia?

[@diydanvapes]

Love it when mrs stoney ridge joins ya!! Yall are so cute together!!

[@butler386]

Machine worked better than I thought it would. You not only had a video on farming but a bib over all fashion show. Fantastic. Thanks for the video.

[@48wilber]

I always look forward to Mrs. Stoney Ridge smiles!!! (She needs to be on more!)

[@FarmallFanatic]

You let old Rakey Bobby eat...loves him some dinosaur eggs 😁

[@providencefarmstead2122]

Everytime you do something else with that tractor I’m more and more impressed. Man! Blown away.

[@johnpyle8027]

That's how my grandfather died, picking up rocks in a field. He and my grandmother bought 113 acres in Humansville MO when he retired from the masonry business. Anyway he came in one morning and showered before breakfast. My grandmother said she heard him upstairs sit down to put on his shoes on, then thump on the floor. He had hardening of the arteries so bad the coroner thought they would have to dislocate his legs to get him down the old farm house steps. When you have some free time I'd keep all those rocks together and you will find a use for them in the future. My dad and uncle could have bought that property with two houses for $30k in 1970. That was our vacation a few times a year. My parents had 7 kids.

[@sailme2day]

no tire guy likes to work on a tire with slime installed. the labor - the time to clean it up ... to fix it right , seldom worth it . Happy it worked for you .

[@justanotherperson584]

This is exactly my issue...rocks. First generation farm. Wishing you much success, good for you. Your land is so beautiful. Great job. Thank you.

[@robertkoons1898]

You might want to clean those tines every couple of passes. I noticed you had a few "logs" stuck in them for most of the video. Its a pain but later passes will come out cleaner.

[@trevorholland7]

Great protective dog right there she never looses focus on where you are does she

[@ronpease750]

Josh I have been watching your channel for about a year now and really enjoy your videos. I am Ron from Fayette, Maine. I am also a veteran with 13 years in the USAF until I broke my back while on duty. Keep up the good work.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video

[@wb6she]

Good work Josh, thanks for sharing..

[@Bigtoolrack]

Such a nice property!

[@happilyretiredmark2964]

Nice job with that project. A pallet full of those rocks are worth good money if you can get them to a landscaper or right person.

[@astrobytes777]

Man, that little tractor, if it were to go down you'd be in trouble. And putting up hay that tractor has prepped, amazing!!! Way to go!!!

[@scottt8424]

Hey Josh hey mrs. Stoney Ridge thank you both for the video I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the music to and I also learned something else about grass I did not know what you said about the grass seed always learning something new from you and stay safe out there

[@yo2748]

Great video as always, So interesting. Keep them coming

[@daddybairb3256]

Rent a rock hound bucket or buy if you want for the skid steer,but it would have saved your hours of work. Also they leave the soil ready for seeding.

[@keithfrazier2558]

Literally a stoney ridge.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

dang right brotha!

[@williamschulz6302]

Nice tractor 👌👌

[@James_Innes]

Maybe plant some Clover for your Bees. ☘☘☘☘ Also keep those rocks to build your new house, It's free building material.

[@denisewilson8367]

nice to see Mrs Stoney Ridge.

[@josht4659]

Raking Bobbie, sounds like a bad will farrel movie

[@shaniaa9287]

Great video Josh. You work so hard. Good to see the missus helping you 👌👍✌️❣️

[@carolyngaulin8297]

When you said a lot of rocks you weren't kidding ! 🚜🐰🐮🐿🌲🌲🛺💖

[@CooksCustoms]

Always enjoy the uploads !!

[@sparksfireandbalingwire8467]

Raky Bobby, Classic! Wooooo!

[@DossFarm]

Rakey Bobby! Good stuff 👍🏻.

[@garigney]

May want to wait till it rains hard again, And watch the rocks grow out again may need to due two or three times to get 90% rocks out before planting.

[@brianballa3086]

love the song when your video first come's on weeeeeeeeeeee ...thank you sir for sharing ...

[@gilbertrobles1374]

Bro. I'm normally lazy man.I guess bcuz I'm a truck Driver and by the time I get home I have a tall to-do list and I just want to rest. But I gotta say;you're contagious man!😇you are very inspiring and your videos motivate me to push a little more. Thanks for what you do and may God continue to bless you and your family in all that you do.Cheers from Brownsville,Texas

[@noahhelmuth6497]

Good job MR stoney ridge I wonder how a Harley rake would it work for you you can put that behind your tractor it's PTO driven

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

You can get a special rock bucket for your new skid steer. Better tool for what you are doing my friend.Not all that expensive either.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

that little tractor was doing a good job

[@lance_r72]

Now that's a good ole country girl. Got her overalls on. Definitely need the extra tires back on the Ventrac or traction and less compaction. But you keep on "doing it your own damn way"! Love the music!!!!

[@brianmeattey4151]

Hey Josh have you seen the rock picker that goes behind a tractor it kicks rocks into a bin as you drive over your wing row it's awsome seen it on certain channels but it's a awsome price

[@robertrichard9460]

Great job!!!! Love your pooch!

[@RoadhogRNA]

Nice job Josh, get some seed down on that and it’ll do fine!!!!

[@davidhosmer1424]

Up on ROCKY TOP

[@jamespenton9874]

Hello Josh name is James i been watching all kinds of farming practice if you are planning on build a house on 200 acres some of the material you remove can be used for building material

[@plagueofbadgers]

STONEY Ridge 🚜 -Woooooo!!!

[@MrEddiekessler]

good one again Josh. Keep um comin

[@pebear]

I could have used that in my yard in Granby, CT. We had a yard full of what I call "Granby" potatoes. They were rocks that get pushed up by the frost every year and I would walk around picking them out of the yard. I guess that yard must have been at the bottom of a lake at one time because all the rocks were like lake rocks, round and polished. A lot less rocks in my yard here in Strongsville Ohio and of course the yard is microscopic compared to my CT yard.

[@kensayre6919]

I can see why you call it Stoney Ridge.

[@lionreb]

looking forward to seeing some stump grinding!

[@logansimpson305]

Great video. Hope you stay safe from the virus

[@johnredden641]

Love the ventrac wish I could afford to purchase one my self

[@Luffchild]

Rocks are like weeds - there is always one more!

[@danaowen9014]

Wow that mashine saves a lot of time, and does a great job.

[@SavinABuck45]

Great video ,your channel is awsome.

[@miltonhurd1016]

Consider perennial rye instead of annual rye. They both germinate quickly but the perennial is a nicer looking and longer lasting grass.

[@expatconn7242]

Looks great . You ever find out the model of your pops tractor? What happened to your other puppy ? I’m looking for a tractor . Just scammers out there..

[@paul.etedder2439]

The front deck tires suck really bad they go flat constantly. The only fix is to put tubes in. Believe me I have over 10,000 hours of operating that’s same ventrac at a Country Club.

[@williamimboden2972]

Slow way, waaay down. Crawl speed. Voice of experience.

[@hyjackr]

Hey Josh, have you ever thought of using a harley take type of attachment? Man telling ya they work great. Thank you for sharing.

[@greghurrell9694]

good to see the GLW (good lady wife)

[@dorothychester9233]

Wandering if a scrap blade for the rocks then go to the rake would have been better

[@maddmaxx6730]

Woooo!

[@haynerbass]

I am looking at some land that will need to be brought back to pasture and would LOVE to see how you did it. Do you have all that on video?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

my friend....look back about 5 years on the channel.....tons of land clearing content!! We cleared over 100 acres!!!

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

What kind of Fescue did you plant? My extension office recommend an endophite free variety. It was expensive so I opted to wait on it.

[@Sny-]

Looked like the tines deformed a bit, but it's not always easy to tell without seeing it in person. How much work do you think it'll be to straighten up the more seriously bent tines or is it even worth it?

[@ralphstrucking]

North Carolina red clay and rocks. Hard to gets anything to grow.

[@jacoblopez6365]

how big of rocks can that thing handle?

[@LanceSheppard]

What!?!?!?! Stoney ridge has rocks? 😂🤣😂 let rakey Bobby eat brother 😂🤣😂

[@dajones1128]

It is important to have the right tools your wife can use. Then you can rest.

[@davidmauersberger5431]

Liveing up to the name with that video.

[@timminstraprs2169]

The front teeth have a tooth pick stuck in them. 😂👍✌️❤️🇨🇦

[@michaelbobbiharris2587]

Good video. Where did you lease the or buy the little tractor from?

[@emrythompson]

Michael Harris, to find a dealer near you go to www.ventrac.com/dealers

[@drewk5929]

Is the kubota engine a d1105? Thanks good video 👍🏻

[@jameswitte5167]

Not going to put in any clover or timothy hay ???

[@brianmeattey4151]

Freeking rocks grow man lol when I worked on Hatfield's farm .I use to pick rocks and I'd clean them up and the next time even tho I did it over and over they still appear damn lol but I had a case 510and let it drive it self while I walked in front of it and threw rocks in the bucket but it was a never ending job

[@rdrockett1]

Great video Josh but now you cannot call your place stoney ridge any longer.

[@Ian_P]

4.57 "Rock Ridge". Stoney Ridge???

[@billyroberts6727]

Just go buy a rock picker or a rock bucket for the skid steerwould make this easy kinda

[@joethompson3418]

Rocky pasture land! The gift that keeps on giving! 🤔🤭

[@jamessteffens8337]

One question, what do you do for fuel

[@dragonslayer19695]

You have no name for the rake on the front, How about Rakey Roberta, or Bertha. LOL

[@ralphburton6947]

That's Honey Badger.

[@jakedetrick1070]

WERE’s THE JEEP PROJECT???

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

In the shop that's so full of stuff I can't hardly turn around...coming soon once we get Earl the tractor out of the shop

[@patrickgalla7588]

😉👍

[@Freebirde7]

Saw a video years ago and I had to find it for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKXEqoptpLSChdU It's more for larger rocks and looser soil, but you would get to play with your skid-steer more.

[@joeh4295]

Why send your tire out to be slimed and filled? You can easily do that yourself

[@WestVirginiaEricDSmall]

Honey Badgers can survive a venomous bite from a Cobra and then wake up three hours later and eat that dagon thing!!...

[@muglerfarms8131]

If it was me I would buy a rock bucket for your skid steer I have one and they work great

[@FarmallFanatic]

Agree

[@Sny-]

I'm sure a lot of people already know this, but for those who don't... One thing to keep in mind is the key to a fiscally successful farm is versatility. If rock moving becomes a regular thing for you, a purpose built attachment is a great idea. But if this is something you do twice in 10 years, might want to consider renting it or using something more multi-purpose. There's almost always some fancy tool that's made just for the job... but a rake can do so many other things.

[@jwhitley101whitleyfarms9]

Yep those rakes are almost useless they do make sure to scatter rocks everywhere

[@braddenham9189]

Or rent one for your skid steer

[@davidmauersberger5431]

Use the rocks in the head of ditches to keep them from warshing.

[@ericb8993]

You need a Rockhound for the skid steer, it would save you a ton of time.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Also,still waiting on the MF 35 repairs. I was on an internet auction yesterday and bought 2 International 140's with full set of cultivators on both and plow on 1. "Restored" according to the auction house and both have new paint,rubber,decals,seats,exhaust,etc. Hope they run as good as they look. Buy 2,sell one(maybe) and sell should pay for both since I got them right and in my area they are a well sought out tractor when they have the full cultivator sets.In KY and can't pick them up till next saturday. Dang work schedule lol. I'd rather be on a tractor right now.....Don't forget about the MF 35 repairs.Oh, I don't have barn or parade queen tractors. Bought the 140's to work. Need the front mounted cultivators so I don't run over my peas and corn. Got serious row crop plans for this year.

[@TheSnakeman3]

It was pretty impressive how much material those rakes would hold going down the road.

[@bcgrittner]

That reminds me of parts of central Minnesota. The glaciers of long ago left their till behind and we’ve been picking up rocks like yours ever since. You can’t beat Mother Nature.

[@steveb6103]

I grew up down by Jackson Minnesota. We sold all the big rocks to a landscaper who used them to build a wall. My dad had a rock picker called us kids. We were also the weed pullers and corn detaslers.

[@kennethhunt248]

6:25 save yourself time

[@pebear]

You will now have to re-name the farm because it's no longer "Stoney Ridge" Maybe Cleared Ridge Farm?

[@danielalamo2075]

We cleaned up the rocks in the 40 acre ranch my dad lives on. Rocks were marble sized to volleyball. All by hand. Nice job. Also, we have a rakey bobby for the arena.

[@annh3599]

Nice tractor! I need one.

[@blueridgehomestead566]

8:42 Honey Badger has something in his teeth 😂😂😂

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bhahhha

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That machine is definitely a back-saver!!

[@rdeanbenson217]

neet little tractor. raised on a 640 acre spread, 1 Sq mile. We used to get the rocks off in early spring, while ground was frozen (Idaho). Piled them up and used for road low spots and drainage rip-rap.

[@scotth8892]

That machine is a beast wish I could have one

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

they make them every day my brotha

[@roydavis2242]

I know around here people take all the rocks and put them along the creek bank to slow down erosion. Just a suggestion.

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Was hear

[@robertmalis4493]

Did you hear Josh that Vin track sold to Toro
