Can you just imagine a ‘Church Sunday’ with carts and buggies all pulled in under the shade of the big trees whilst everyone enjoyed a big meal and talk 💖🇦🇺🦘

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

Just watching the land come to life is so satisfying. Between you and Aaron working on the old farm's gets me excited on what treasures you might uncover. I miss seeing you guys together.

[@tinlizzie]

You echoed the very same words I was going to say!

[@deborahmarion9038]

Ditto! 🚜

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I really miss Aaron being there too

[@cowgirlvillarreal]

What happened to Robert he has not posted since this video.

[@marilynhemingway5219]

They were together not to many video's ago . Aaron's helping back in NC and will soon be married. YEAH!!!

[@131dyana]

Great job getting all that brush burned. God bless.

[@dixievixen6045]

Making good headway. Need to get you a good pair of loppers to cut the vines growing up in the trees you want to save. Raccoon tree looks like some vines large enough for chain saw. When I was clearing the Wisteria from the land I am on, I cut all the massive vines going up the large trees. Within about 18 months, the vines were breaking apart and started to fall out of the trees. If the sap flow is cut now, no new spring growth up in the trees.

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

I know that you miss Aaron being there with you helping you out with the overgrowth of the privet and the wisteria vines I miss seeing him on there but I’ve watched Aaron on his channel and he is really staying busy in North Carolina at Papa Hughes and Lala’s farm I do wish him the best of luck up there in North Carolina and I wish you the best of luck there on The Old Byrd Farm

[@philomenadennehy8585]

It was lovely Robert I live in uk I am 72 This is really nice The sound of the birds The huge burning fire The walkabout All lovely

[@shortsweettoo]

Two months ago when I made a comment that the home looked like a pig sty, you admonished my comment in your video the very next day. But as I said at the time, once you clear up the place, you will feel so much better about the work you are doing. You have worked very hard since that time and what a difference it has been. I know it can all be very overwhelming, but once you start, the work speaks for itself. Nice job Robert. I'm impressed.

[@sarahmoller9716]

I really enjoy your tractor work. Good job. Relaxing for me to watch as generation of my family worked on dozers, loaders or any equipment to clear land to build or to make beautiful lakes. This also includes farming. Thank you Steve. 🙏💙

[@lindasimic]

Look how far you have come I have have watched you from the beginning amazing what you have done with the help of friend such a old wish soul you surround yourself with like minded people and your hard work and dedication shows dear one such an inspiration to watch to see start from small beginning and to grow to what you and your friends have accomplished the people that watch you l know they feel the same Robert we love you and all you do and please tell the other Robert and the rest thanks we love you all what an amazing group of people that care sooo much about life and work together for a greater goal amen God bless you all take care such wonderful person

[@rebeccatelgenhoff3540]

Robert, your doing an excellent job at clearing the privet and wisteria! I enjoy watching your tractor pop the privet out of the ground and seeing the wisteria disappear at the same time. I like it when you can do one thing and it helps another problem out.👌🏻👏😀

[@SondraD7676]

You certainly have cleared a large area - putting that Kubota to work for sure! I guess the Kubota suffered a "Privet Pivet!" Beautiful and quiet, such a homey feeling on the OBF. 🤗👍👍

[@juanitakauffman6336]

You neighbors must appreciate your getting the land cleared of the wisteria and privet. It is looking great.

[@maddie-29]

Sure hope you are finally getting ahead of that ol devil vine. It's looking better everyday.

[@MadCatLady9]

I’m super excited to see the land restored to its natural state. Between the house and the land it will be wonderful by the time you are finished! Thanks for sharing this with us Robert!😊

[@alanatolstad4824]

This moment of silence was brought to you by...! Indeed, I enjoyed it.

[@tantejopie268]

Property looks better and better each day.

[@sharlettedavidson81]

That was some serious progress🎉🎉🎉…wow …..that tractor is pulling its weight for sure…keep up the hard work Robert ….it’s paying off ….💪

[@celleduffel1533]

I love how you love the land and the silence..are you sure there is not an old soul inside you? Love the nite time fire!!!

[@alanatolstad4824]

I'm slowly getting my bearings. I always thought the servants quarters was closer to the 'campground'. I wish you'd sketch out a map with landmarks I'm familiar with...the house, the barn, the chicken house, the campground, the pasture, the creek, the boat. I do real well with maps!

[@donnaoglesby1278]

Robert, great to see you, and another nice brush fire. Glad the baby raccoons are not in that tree, but thinking they are better off more towards the back of the property, or at some point caught by wildlife and moved to a more protected area, like a state park or protected forest preserve. Love the burn and seeing so much cleared out with pushing over all those privets.. awesome at so much you have now been able to do since getting your orange Kubota! look forward to the next video..

[@denisehibbs9576]

It looks great Robert ! That tractor is worth every penny !

[@sherrilee230]

It's really coming together. It's looking good. It's a good thing your young. Your work is cut out for you. Your grandma would be so proud of your work.

[@scrapfancy]

Just wanted you to know to speak to the camera. This is always a pleasure to watch.

[@thewondermentofnature7575]

Robert Question for you...is there ANY WAY you could get the Peacocks from Aaron's old place? My heart breaks knowing that they were left behind. 💔💔 😔

[@tammy2388]

😭😭

[@zekesgirl100]

Wait wait wait, Aaron left the Homestead?

[@thewondermentofnature7575]

Yes he has moved to the Mountain Farm with Papa Hugh, Yaya and Aidan

[@judypatrick42]

Please

[@tammy2388]

Did someone get the peacock bird's

[@pmichael73]

Wow! What a lot of work done! Great to see you so enthusiastic about your progress!

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

That little, "I think I can", tractor is amazing. Good job Robert and little orange rig. Should sell some Kubotas! They should sponcer you.

[@carolleenkelmann4751]

It is really a beautiful area. I love how it looks now with the cleared land, especially the back lot.

[@buckshots4800]

We got to get you a drone so we can get that good arial shot. The place looks great, Robert. I did not realize your land was so steep in some areas. You on a tractor is like me with a pair of garden shears in my hands. It is so addictive I just keep going and going. Think I am done and then I see something else that needs clipping.

[@texas060]

Good to see all that Wisteria 🔥 burning. So good to see the progress your making.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. May the Lord bless and protect you and your family

[@cathyruthroff1698]

Can’t wait to see all the grass come back. Great picnic area. Robert you are doing a great job!

[@ianwright40]

Would be cool if one of these You Tube outfits that do brush control could come and mulch that for you. I love watching Upstate Brush Control, they would knock this out in no time but I am sure they are expensive.

[@jparker59able]

I like these longer videos. More, more, more.

[@Mari-B]

Robert you answered the question that I was going to ask about getting the Wisteria from the ground!! Yipee!!! What a day...and so much accomplished. It looks better and better!

[@shellydehart8217]

You are kicking butt! I remember it well what it looked like before. It’s looking amazing at what you can see now. I feel what your feeling n I see your vision too. It gives you warm fuzzy feeling inside , doesn’t it? Your almost there to that clearing. Beautiful fire at end of video. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍🌟🌟🐶

[@En_Marche]

You've accomplished so much, Robert!

[@maryskorzewski6454]

Robert you are doing an amazing job It is going to be an great place to live and enjoy the beautiful nature all around you 💙💙💙

[@glennyork6800]

A very Good days work sir Robert, you shld sleep well

[@Melissa-pt2ik]

Love hearing the popping sound of the vines and trees burning

[@frankhall4]

Congrats on all the clearing you accomplished.. what a difference!

[@kristyhaynes1130]

Amazing job Robert be proud

[@maxinetaylor7794]

Robert i could never have thought that thr ole byrd farm could get better looking but all your hard work has proven it can. Super job❤

[@brianandlindafairchild1237]

Miss your videos. Understand it's a busy time of year. Merry Christmas.

[@LJB103]

Bit by bit it keeps looking better. I can see the next big job: cutting the wisteria so that it dies and falls out of the trees you want to keep. The fire looks great at night.

[@frankscarborough1428]

Love the progress you've made clearing the farm.

[@leapingkitties]

That was almost like when the N9 use to break down. Can't wait to see the aftermath of this one! That will be such a nice short cut through to the campground area; the chickens and guineas will be in 7th heaven when they see all that open land now. How you going to keep them down on the farm? 🙂

[@henrypallmerine8317]

Just goes to show that with a little persistence that uncontrolled wisteria can't withstand a controlled burn. Another great job. Your friend in Nixa, MO.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

As bad as wisteria is, you don’t have kudzu!!! Kudzilla is sorta a tractor North Carolina County Extension came up with. You are doing so much at the right time when wisteria is dormant! Yay!!

[@grandpafischer8317]

Can you find some ripper teeth to fit your box blade? I would think that would be cheaper than buying all new.

[@artillerest43rdva7]

what a great job clearing things out! keep it up and it will all be tied together. one large piece of land, that you will be able to enjoy.

[@bonnielayfield1406]

Love , love, love the long video.👏👏👏😃

[@susanbellefeuille]

You are just motoring along Robert, most excellent

[@beckysdolan7540]

What an awesome transformation. You've really opened up the property. You should be very Proud! Your dream is finally becoming a reality 🙌 one step at a time🔥.👍💗🍻

[@andreamills5852]

Wisteria roasting on an open fire makes a great start of the holiday season.

[@horeastefanescu2677]

Can you give us an update on the community perhaps? . Cheers!

[@tammy2388]

Robert you work so hard need a vacation

[@tvcat3665]

That wisteria - talk about a trip hazard! When you get rid of it, it will be a pleasure to walk around the property. Not that it isn't now, just easier. 🚶🏻‍♀

[@artwalters6871]

Great progress don't you just love it when a plan comes together

[@robertburns3014]

Have you seen any more rattlesnakes as you've been clearing? I'm guessing that you haven't as they sense the tractor nearby and decide to leave the premises! It is rewarding to see the progress you're making clearing out the unwanted brush - especially the privet bushes and the dreaded vine that shall not be mentioned by name!

[@allygee5468]

Yes I remember how it looked on your very first video Robert you have made great strides mate and I can see your vision understand that the house usually requires at least 2 ppl at times too having built our house with my husband

[@pamelasinclair-karney8856]

Good job well done, I missed Your supervisor Mr. BLUE, fantastic view thank you for sharing

[@dorothymiller2650]

It takes time and you doing so good at clearing the brush.

[@jodirauth8847]

Your hard work is paying off

[@ahummerich2751]

Where’s your helper, Blue?

[@bettytordoff8920]

I could smell the fire and feel the warmth of its glow. There's a certain satisfaction, in clearing land and bringing back the beauty that once was. You're doing a great just Robert. It's always nice to take a break from one project. Clearing has a therapeutic way to give strength to the more daunting.

[@fredcarlson5775]

Robert as I watch you work I think you could benefit using a grapple hydraulic or mechanical I know that you are not made of money but at Good Works Tractors it's a utube site where gives advice and sells accessories

[@LilybetMells]

You've had quite a productive year! The roof done, clearing of more land, house clearing and new wall built! Things are really coming together and I can't wait to see what you do this next year x

[@tammy2388]

I can't wait till you get everything done 😃 it's going to be beautiful

[@MysticChatty]

You need one of those hand held fire burners like you used on the Wisteria before. Hit the roots with it.then you could do a ground burn.

[@genevaharner780]

Very satisfying. Alot accomplished.

[@elizabethholden9351]

The OCD part of me wants to pull all the vines down off the trees and out of the ground before I move on to the next piece. But I understand clearing the larger area takes precedent and will make future work easier.

[@josephstoermer2441]

Great video Robert 👍

[@bethgiesey9405]

All the work you have done this year is so satisfying!! Just imagine what is going to happen next year. Wonderful job Robert. Looks great!!

[@hankfacer7098]

Fantastic video and great fire

[@brianweatherford26]

If you find the right tractor auction you can get a pretty good deal on a root rake for your Kubota it'll pull up all them vines real quick

[@marvinjohnson424]

Nice job👍🇺🇸

[@carolheighes9988]

Really making great progress!

[@MillerMeteor74]

After you repositioned the camera around 20+ minutes, the sound was muffled when you talked. When you had the camera with you on the tractor, in the 34 minute range, I saw black on the back of the bucket. Either it was soot from pushing into the fire, or hydraulic oil spraying there, and getting dirt stuck to it. Or possibly just a shadow. Hopefully it was that or soot from the fire. Anyway, good to see all the progress. I had one question. When you first bought the property, or even earlier than that, do you know of actual planted privet shrubs in front of the house? There must have been some, but I don't remember seeing them in any videos. Just curious.

[@sandralupo650]

Watching you from Juniper, Ga..howdy neighbor!

[@mygrammieis]

Awesome work 👏❤️👏mowing around the house please thank you..giggles before it’s too cold 💁🏻‍♀️👍❤️👍🎄🤭It Sooo Awesome 👏 what’s going on with your farm buddy 👏👍👏

[@paulhoffman6371]

Great music selections! That's what one could say is keeping the home fires burning. How much does one cubic foot of wisteria weigh? Now, how many cubic feet of property have you cleared in total? How much does all that combined wisteria weigh? Answer when you can.

[@debranelson1987]

Robert has the best music!

[@Viper-lu6ni]

GREAT JOB

[@larrysmith6499]

Looks great. You can move mountains. Nothing you and the tractor can not do

[@deniseroberts460]

Amazing progress!

[@rhonahood7649]

I really enjoy the videos. But the music is perfect!

[@marilynhemingway5219]

Way to go Robert!!!

[@flyoverurbangarden4315]

Great choice of music.

[@gailatkinson1955]

That truly was a transformation! Great job!! Are you going to still have orange paint on that bucket after going in the fire so much? Both of you are work horses.

[@robinm6662]

And ye shall overcome, nice work!

[@robinchristmas6448]

What a great video! Thank you for bringing us along.

[@mercedithcompala8148]

Wonderful job, love your farm...

[@cherishtoday1549]

Would a mulcher or bush hog do away with the vines on the ground?

[@PattyDM]

Wow! Looks great!

[@peggywilson9929]

Robert your vision will come ❣️❣️❣️

[@johnemerson5383]

You need some drone shots to be able to show the progress of the clearing. Because it's bit and pieces here and there and arms going off in different directions I reckon some good drone footage would look really good.

[@debrafricano1486]

What a huge difference already from when you filmed this to now.

[@katbot2190]

Good progress. Do you have a timeline for when you think the wisteria will be eradicated? lol. Good job.

[@louiseemerson331]

It is looking great! I would be afraid of running into snakes however!

[@deniseoftedahl8937]

Lookin' good Boss!!!!
