Someone needs to gift this guy a tractor of his own! He looked so happy working with Ben's tractor.

[@19Lou77]

Too bad us viewers can't all pitch in and get them one 🤔, any ideas 💡? I mean if 10k people each gave a dollar 💵... which obviously they have way more views than that, but it's an idea...I wouldn't know where to begin to organize something like that but I'm sure it could be done... I'd love to help 💕!

[@pleasantplacesfarm]

Tractor therapy is real! -Mike

[@19Lou77]

I mean this video alone has 39k+ views(as of now)...🤔... I'm going to see what I can come up with as an idea 💡... #sowseedsifkindness #Givetheguyatractoralready #teamtractor #tractorSOWneeded

[@ArreisMorsCI]

You're going to have some volunteer squash and pumpkins this year to feed your animals!!! The pigs will distribute the seeds in the next few days and then you get to have some new gardens for them!!!! Thanks BEN HOLLAR for being the amazing guy you are and allowing Jason to use your tractor to work on his farm this week!!! Great friends make great families!!!

[@shadegarden7375]

Those poles were nothing for that tractor to pull out!! What a blessing for Ben to loan it to you!!

[@janellevoigt5481]

Thanks Ben for letting Jason borrow your tractor!! It helped him a lot! Love the videos...

[@TXNLaurenMcN]

Your pigs (at the end) made me laugh! I'm glad you record them eating, lol. ~ Thanks, Ben, for loaning your tractor to Jason! You are the definition of a good neighbor, but then, so is Jason.

[@mariesheppard3750]

Wow you sure got a lot done The tractor saved your back and body, Thanks Ben ,

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@jonathanadams9102]

Just wanted to say your videos make me smile. Thank you for doing the extra work of recording and editing when you and Your family are already so busy!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

you know he is a good friend when he lends his toys to you lol hugssss

[@pinecone76]

How big does your channel have to be for a company to lend you a tractor for a year. Your buddy Justin got a whole setup as part of some (undisclosed) agreement. I have no idea how that's done but your channel most certainly deserves such a partnership.

[@AB-ol5uz]

Justin had 500k subscribers or more at at that point but they also included alot of implements and a side by side, if I remember correctly. So, possible to negotiate a different kind of deal that wd be a win/win.

[@TriStarHomestead]

Man these fence videos are a lot of work! If you’re bored next winter I have 4,000 feet of fence I need to install. 😂

[@SowtheLand]

hold my beer

[@andibourne8755]

Jason I love your humor!!!

[@clarencewiles963]

Using the tractor will give you an idea of the size you may want to get. As in how much lift is needed, what kind of attachments would you like have. But you’re doing the work the best you can with what you have. Thumbs up 👍

[@oldwillowtree173]

Fence-build-watching, I'm discovering, is relaxing and actually enjoyable--I notice something different each time! Thank you for filming it. The wood parts remind me of how interesting it was, some years back, to watch a video of some of the crafting of your beautiful wood art pieces. Hope one day you have time to do some of that again🙂

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@janetwithers7427]

Your farm is looking so good. Ben is so great to lend you his tractor for all the hard work. Those old poles came out slick with tractor help. Your pigs are smart and they listen to you. Yum, fresh strawberries coming up. 💞

[@pamelam1500]

Love you and Ben are neighbors!! Your PIGS!!! I’m so happy. 🐖 😊

[@TheKamakuraGardener]

Good Day from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 You're a hard-working man, Jason. I love the way you "git 'er done!" 👍🏾🤩🐶

[@gaylewatkins4685]

@TheKamakuraGardener Hello Japan. I hope you are having beautiful weather there. 😊🥰

[@taffy7404]

Justin & Ben's channel shows so much more on rural living. I just love how much they show life rather than the exploitation of their children..

[@gaylewatkins4685]

Fantastic video. So happy you have Ben and Meg as neighbors. The tractor was a blessing. Great job Jason!! I hope you plant lots of things to feed the pigs to help with their feed bill. Pumpkins, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, etc. Let the zucchini and cucumbers grow oversize.....😊👏👏👏

[@barbarapahl3245]

Thank you to you & your family for the wonderful videos! I absolutely love the pigs 🐖 They make me smile so much when I hear them chomping on their food. I may have sounded like this tonight while eating my porter house steak 😂🤣😂

[@shadegarden7375]

Even this tractor is limited for some of the work you need to do in the future…. Learning what you need to eventually buy!

[@tinatippin5705]

It is wonderful to see families help each other thrive. It would do a lot of good if this goodness was more in the news than all the hopelessness we are fed. Great week!

[@19Lou77]

Sow happy to see a notification from the 'Sow The Land' family 💝!

[@BobbieJeanM]

I remember when you got your first pig at the old place and how timid you and Lorraine were with them. You my not trust any pig, but you both are so comfortable with them it’s as if you’ve been working around them all your life! Fence is coming along nicely and you are right, it’s great to have neighbors like Ben and Meg!

[@deannewilliams3321]

👋🏻 Hey Pigs! 🐷 Nice to see all the progress & so glad you and the Hollars help each other out 👍🏻

[@jenniferjsaracino]

I did 20 holes with my tractor this weekend it’s still a lot of work even with the tractor! Now to plant the trees in all those holes!

[@janicew6222]

What a wonderful legacy your daughter will have one day when she tells how her father worked, fence this land. Amazing!

[@MsJuliah1]

Jason, you are one of the most “Happy Warrior Farmers” I know of, and it Blesses my heart to see a good neighbor helping you!!! I love that you’re “Thankful for the work!” I love watching your hard-working family doing everything together!!!😊

[@honiebird3789]

Oh that piggy is enjoying the pumpkin seeds! Your property is sure coming along great. Thanks for the video!

[@nancyseery2213]

As Billy always says, Homesteading is about community! Glad Ben could loan you the tractor to get all of that heavy work done. Stay safe, keep growing and God bless y'all there in NC from a fan in TN.

[@SowtheLand]

Thanks 👍

[@Julia_Teeker]

“The more rubs they get, the tastier they are.” I love that! 😂❤

[@jenniferpatt4355]

With all the land you have, I hope you can get your own tractor someday soon.

[@SowtheLand]

yeah, one day

[@ChrisMeek-gg5de]

Come on TYM,Jason needs a new toy!😊

[@lararabb8888]

The pigs look like they are growing well. You can really tell! ❤

[@Skay24]

A tractor is a necessity on the farm or homestead. You need every help you can get.

[@corabankston2244]

Sure wish you could find a farm auction around your area. That tractor sure did help you on the farm. I've been married going on 52 years from 1972 thru 86 we farmed over 1,200 acreas with my father- in- law. He did custom work around our community and our own 900. You depend on those tractors. A shovel in the hand all year long. Water ditches water ditches and rubber boots. Fresh plowed fields are the best. Up at the field at 6am and out of it until dark. 7days a week. Also did alfalfa field work. Your doing great blessings

[@Ashton60578]

Those little piggies LOVED the fresh scraps. So cute.

[@gelwood99]

Jason, you make hay while the sun shines! Use the tractor as much as possible while you have it to lighten the load and save your back! No fault is a video is late while you work hard with Ben's tractor!

[@douglasbooker8330]

Jason that’s (EPIC) the work you & the Family are putting in. And Ben Hollar! Great guy.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

We do not tend to concrete field posts here - most definitely yard posts and gates but field posts we just bang in as we do not want lumps of concrete stuck in the ground in year to come. It is coming on really well now and you really need to get yourself an old 2nd hand tractor to help you out. 👍🏻

[@lynettehillery8231]

Hope you will be able to get your own tractor soon!!

[@ciaobella8963]

So enjoyable watching the pigs eat haha. Oh, and watching you pound posts too haha. God's blessings to you all.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

Thanks Ben, for loaning your tractor to Jason. I'm sure you know how much back breaking labor you saved him. Between that and his power post pounder, he was able to get so much more done this week. Great neighbor. Y'all have a Blessed day.

[@redshedacres]

My comment when you dug out the first pole with the tractor was Wow. I loved your excited giggle when you dug it. Amazing the difference a tractor can make. I think about my grandfather, homesteading in the early 1900's on raw land. Wish I could talk to him now about the labour involved in his time. Good friends and tractors....priceless.

[@byronholmes2496]

Good day to all.

[@SowtheLand]

Yes it was

[@Greens5511]

Nice work! I love seeing those pigs eat the garden treats :)

[@alh9338]

Good to see you using equipment. You're going to find the true value of owning land is time management. Anything you do to save time earns more money and builds on investments.

[@shirleyfernandes6971]

Like a kid with anew toy so happy for you. Thanks Ben

[@michellelaclair]

awesome watching you werk Jason

[@SowtheLand]

Glad you enjoyed

[@robertlafferry3455]

I like pumpkins. But they clearly love pumpkins.

[@louisehumphris9516]

What an awesome person Ben is, thank you. I hope someone gifts you a tractor Jason...you certainly could use one 🙂

[@saraslatter7973]

You and Ben are true friends. God bless both of you ❤

[@teresagunther6622]

I trust no pig! lol. The Bacon Brothers scarred you for life! 😄

[@pjmoody]

Thank god for good friends Jason. They are hard to find. Just go and buy one!

[@mhale-mi9iy]

Someone get this man a tractor. Ben needs his tractor back for his new build.

[@CalmCowBell]

Cutest bacon on youtube!

[@ReelCoast79]

Blessings for the blessed 🫡 🐖 🐓 🐐

[@lloydmarchant4912]

Pulling up and out with a bottom link and a chain on the three point will usually get out stubborn posts.

[@belieftransformation]

Great & fast progress with the Hollar tractor; thanks Hollar Homestead for the use of it. It’s great that you lent them your portable cooler, too! Good neighborly vibes🤗🇨🇦

[@gailbrault9251]

I'm glad your weather is warming up.😊

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

just think of all the days you dont have to do because of the tractor hugsss

[@carens7344]

There is a pinwheel setup where you put the house and food in the center and have 4 to 6 perimeter paddocks. Then you just keep one gate open. After a week or so, you close it and open another. That way you don't have to keep moving everything.

[@kebergify]

"The more rubs you give your pig, the better tasting they'll be", I laughed out loud. Pretty good, Jason.

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝Thanks for the great video 🌻

[@SowtheLand]

So nice of you

[@whitestone4401]

I see a tractor in your future. You had big smiles! You have some well trained pigs there. What a blessed life you have.

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Jason you need to get a decent tractor for the farm will make life easier for you guys well done ✅ Ben

[@MelaniePH888]

Well he did say tractors are "over rated". At least now he knows better. 😅😊

[@ebshaw5974]

that power post driver worked really well

[@Becca-Becca-Becca]

I love the way you have always loved your pigs🐷🐽🐷🐷🐽

[@jg2480]

Hooray for tractors!

[@cathysteenson9591]

Hi, Jason. I can't reach that high with a regular t post driver let alone that heavy power driver. What I do is set the bottom of the pole in place and lay the t post on the ground or leaned towards me then put the driver on and tip it up, adjust and go for it. But hey, you are really getting it done! and it looks good!

[@lindabyrne1645]

Enjoyed watching!

[@SowtheLand]

So glad!

[@camicri4263]

I need a neighbor like Ben!

[@peterrowellranson8649]

Learning something new untrustworthy bacon 😂😂😂❤ love your videos thank you Pete cape town south Africa looking forward to seeing more progress 🎉

[@sgrvtl7183]

Down to Earth Jason......Like your style, a hard worker for sure. Nice of Ben to loan the tractor! Nice to see Lorraine and Penelope as well! Always enjoy your videos.

[@sandyscats4]

Work smarter not harder. ❤❤ Fence looks great piggies love the squash ❤❤❤

[@rosalynhansen6713]

This is the only channel I will sit through an 18 minute ad!!

[@sharvo6]

Nice that you could give your back a bit of a rest with that tractor.

[@Gypsygurl2024]

😁👏 fence line is looking good!

[@randyc754]

Big week! WOW ❤

[@PatrickPoet]

that was sweet you put the pigs in with the swing so they could play

[@kriskloeblen3670]

That’s right keep a tidy farm…..

[@robertschloder2438]

Tractors are a farmers best friend. Ford 8n tractor from 1950's are small compact, implement friendly, reliable, around 1500$. Get someone to help you pick one out and make yourself really productive. Work smarter not harder. Good luck Bob

[@maryalexander4091]

With that long dry grass you'll need to keep a fire break between your property and your neighbours!

[@eronbellia9712]

Thank you for sharing your family's journey. So inspiring!.

[@theresafox4367]

The more apples to the pigs in harvest season, the better they taste.

[@CaptainBuba]

Those pigs are like children, they follow you when they know you have something tasty 😂😂😂😂

[@GrowingLittleCountryhomestead]

Hope this will convince you that a tractor is a must for your size homestead

[@SowtheLand]

I don't need convincing 😄

[@richardstevens3461]

Nice tractor!

[@petyshaw3643]

Hey! I think Ben has a woodchipper 😊

[@pamelacrowell2007]

I ❤❤ Sow The Land! Been telling jason since they moved to new farm that he needed a tractor! You dont know til you know! As i have watched him d6i his best manually, i e just shook my head because he kept saying he didn't need one!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SowtheLand]

I will always say it until I can afford one. 🤣

[@Tiffythompson17]

So Ben has a wood chipper too😂

[@c_gakom]

Снега нет.))) Свинки обалденные. Приятно наблюдать за созидательным трудом, молодцы.

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

I bet they will really enjoy the swing. 😊 Any babies on the way?

[@SowtheLand]

yup

[@RickP654]

Well Jason, now that you have had a chance to use a tractor, maybe you can realize just how much you really need one. Pretty much a no brainer I think. Get something around a 35 or 40 horsepower range should be big enough. Maybe a few implements like a front loader system that you can change out different attachments. You could get a few for the rear too. Somthing that you could drill holes, or till up some garden with a 5 or 6 foot tiller pto powered. There is a vast list of tools that you can use with a tractor that will make your farm be more productive.

[@SowtheLand]

I can realize that without ever using one. Lol.

[@rkeantube]

you might want to plant to boundary flags to keep track of your property line, over time you might confuse where the line is vs where you put the fence.

[@brandonious9060]

I think it’s just about time to get a tractor of your own lol

[@patience1226]

Fantastic video!

[@cherylcooper2838]

So cool to watch you with the pigs I remember when your first pigs scared you!

[@ADJ458]

I love your family

[@robertschloder2438]

Jason one handy implement for 8n tractor is a "pig" bar. It fits on the 3 point hitch and can easily hoist a pig for processing. There available used.

[@jasonnewborn8186]

One of the farm channels I've seen recently uses the hut for pasture moves. They lock the pigs in the hut and then drag it to the new zone, set up the fence and then release them.???

[@SowtheLand]

we do that
