Let Allison know in the comments below how you think she did! 😁 Thanks for watching!

Doesn’t matter how well she did. She did it safely and built confidence for the next time.

[@livingon80]

Absolutely!

[@ftroop211]

She did great, wholesome looking family. So nice to see a pretty lady with no visible ink or piercings, very rare nowadays. just my opinion. You guys are doing a great job, we enjoy your videos.

[@livingon80]

We appreciate you watching and commenting. Thank you!

[@jackiewest2817]

well done, Remember anything new can be daunting. Now you have it.

[@livingon80]

So true!! Thanks so much! 💗 Allison

[@davidstoddard9160]

Yes Allison is learning well, It is very important to know how to shut everything down when the need arises and of course those are the moments that you least expect that cause issues fast.

[@livingon80]

Absolutely!

[@rowane6838]

Good job! Tractor time is decompressing ❤ As a woman I love driving my tractor too!

It's so relaxing!! Well, mowing is. I'm still a little nervous on the tractor! Thanks for watching!!💗 Allison

if i wasn't already subscribed this video would have had me clicking that button so fast! Love to see women giving daunting machinery a go -now that you have conquered it you need to add that basket!

Lol! Right? It definitely needs a basket! Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! 💗 Allison

Good job Allison❤

[@livingon80]

Thank you!! I appreciate it!! 💗 Allison

[@clayparker1851]

She did great. I could never dream of my wife getting on the tractor. It took me a while figuring out the bushhog cut heights. As yourself and several people have said, keeping that wheel rolling on the ground will keep you from a sore back after a day of mowing. Also, have you filled the tires with antifreeze and water for extra ballast yet. Look into it. It will help. Have a good one from east Texas

[@livingon80]

Thanks Clay! That's something I'm definitely looking into. I hear Windshield Washer fluid works well too.

[@africadreamin]

John Deere must be loving these videos.

[@livingon80]

I'll do repair videos too if something breaks on it 😁

Way to go!! You’re a natural!!

[@wmsterlingwright]

nice going Allison! My wife gets out there on our little 125r sometimes too. Enjoyed watching some of your videos here. Awesome property! Bit of a pro-tip, buy some "clip-on bucket forks" and go get some pallets from somewhere. Putting things on pallets is SUPER handy, also nice to load and unload things off the back of a pickup.

[@livingon80]

Thank you! And thanks so much for the tips! Great idea!💗 Allison

[@MrAudienceMember2662015]

Great job! She'll be parallel parking that tractor in no time! lol

Lol! I appreciate it! I've actually always loved mowing. It's the only time I get to myself. 🤣 The tractor was definitely a little intimidating though. 💗 Allison

I learnt to drive the tractors on our farm when I was aged 8 1960 never had a mishap . Dad showed me how to hit the stop button if anything went wrong

[@livingon80]

Good tip from dad! Thanks for watching!

[@deborahs2593]

Your "From neglected to beautiful" video came up this morning and after that I watched a few more. Then subscribed. Your attitude and approach is really commendable. There are and will always be, people who are mean and snarky. You handle them well and also take sound advice and ideas with humility. A rare combination. You guys have taken on a huge project- it will be wonderfully satisfying as each goal is met- learning as you go. Allison has earned a basket! Great job for a first time tractor job😊 Look forward to your journey. P.S. Your kids are great!

[@livingon80]

Thank you so much for your kind words Deborah. Greatly appreciated!

[@billfeldman3234]

[@livingon80]

Lol! 100%! I love to mow. The tractor was just a little intimidating. 🤣💗Allison

[@abhayabinduhewa9095]

I once saw a video on you tube about goats being used to trim or clean the jungle . So if you have goats in your area get them to the land and let them do the cleaning for you. Watched your video from Sri Lanka .

[@livingon80]

Goats are definitely something we are looking into! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for the chuckle! That's a good one! Thanks!

[@D70340]

Allison, you seem to be pretty good if this was your first time! Good Job!!! Just be safe out there, tractors are very dangerous. Even experts can and do, get killed on them.

[@livingon80]

I appreciate the concern! Thanks so much! I'll definitely stay on flat ground! Just the small hole scared me! 🤣💗Allison

[@MrBIGNAWD]

ALL THAT TEST DRIVING SHOULD OF HAD BUSHHOG GOING LOL GREAT JOB...

[@livingon80]

😁 thanks for watching!!!

[@ghhammer3498]

Great job Allison. Curious if your going to bale any hay this year for your cattle? I was raised on a farm in the Midwest and moved to the east coast as a adult. I miss the work I use to do on the farm.

[@livingon80]

We got the cattle a little prematurely. We realized some of our fencing was not secure enough for them so they went to another farmer. We don't have hay baling equipment, but we plan to once we've restored the land and get livestock again!! If you have any tips or suggestions, we'd love to hear them! Thanks for watching! 💗 Allison

[@TrainboyRR]

i like the video

[@livingon80]

Thank you for watching!

[@D70340]

Is there a particular reason why you have the front tires on backwards?

[@livingon80]

Another viewer pointed that out too! I bought that last fall like that. They must have put Ag tires on the rear and reversed the front! I'm going to switch the fronts around this week. Good eye!

[@davidstoddard9160]

Suggestion might want to advise Allison if the temp does rise fast, not to shut the motor off, but try and clear the blockage on the screen so the motor can get back to cooler temp by the aid of the fan.

[@livingon80]

Thanks for the tip!

[@rg1599]

An old stiff paint brush is what I keep with me for that purpose.

[@timmooney2460]

Today i moved my moringa seed cups back outside. Thae still have not germinated. I am here in Central Florida.

@@livingon80 I really understand it. Greetings from Germany

[@davidsignor7931]

Why are the front tires on the wrong way

[@livingon80]

Eagle Eye! I bought the tractor last September and I noticed it had Ag tires on the rear and Industrial on the front, but I never realized the front treads are backwards! Thanks for pointing that out!

[@stephent2685]

Sun protection pleas.

[@normhowes2975]

I have 2 26HP tractors and she hasn't wanted anything to do with brush hogging her pastures in 16 years with them but has worn out 3 of my lawnmowers in the pastures.

[@livingon80]

Lawn mowers definitely dont last long in pastures 😁

[@nichep1]

Herd of goats would handle that pasture just fine.

[@livingon80]

Hopefully soon!

[@davidstoddard9160]

Wondering why you dont cut and bale some of this nice grass for hay for your cattle, or if nothing else bedding when needed for the animals?

[@livingon80]

We don't have the cows at the moment. We realized our fencing needed a lot of work so they went to another farmer. As soon as everything gets repaired we are going to try again. I'm also running a hot wire along the fences too. Thank you.

[@timbow50]

How long has she been on this farm that she hasn’t done this?

[@livingon80]

We've had the property 2.5 years but got the small tractor last fall. It's her size!

[@michaelshea2408]

The tractor side of the mower should sit slightly higher than the trailing side, it will mulch better!

[@livingon80]

You are right, but on tall grass and weeds if we try to mulch with the 5ft bushhog on the little 1026R, it will bog it down. That's why I have the front end of the bushhog lower than the rear, so it discharges out the back and has less strain on tractor. Thanks!

[@Sassy33]

Oh dear, do I see you’re mowing down milkweed, a primary food for monarch butterflies

[@livingon80]

Good to know but yes, most of the grassy and weedy areas are getting mowed at least once for the first time so we can see the terrain and identify hazards. We've found ditches, blocks, holes. Plenty of areas will be left natural. Thank you!

[@TheSoloAsylum]

Put that back wheel on the ground and your tractor will stop bouncing all over the place.

[@livingon80]

Solid advice!

[@RogerAlt-e7g]

Why not all the down

[@livingon80]

That 5ft bushhog mowing low is a little too much for that tractor, and she was new, so we clipped high. Thanks for watching!

[@johnlucs1121]

Using hearing protection would be a good thing to do.

[@livingon80]

You are right! I usually wear 3M over the ear music earphones. They're one of the things she took out of the compartment. We are going to try to make a better effort to remember all the safety gear all the time. Thank you!

[@deathlands10]

Got to drop that hog way lower…

[@livingon80]

Yep, could have cut it down a lot more. I didn't mind though, being her first time, keep it light. Thanks for watching!

[@douglasschafer6372]

Even girly girls can farm

[@livingon80]

100%... It could use a few more compartments for storage though 🤣❤️ Allison

[@justinmalcom8008]

“Brushhog?” Please never say that word again. It’s always a Bush hog no matter the make of the implement. Nice lawn mower though

[@livingon80]

I was told Bush Hog was a brand name. I've heard them called bushhog, brushhog, brushcutter, rotary cutters, etc. I think I called it all of the above in the video. Bushhog is easiest to say though, isn't it. Thanks!

[@PVid1]

People up North say brush, people down South say bush. I’m sure there’s other regional terms you might not be familiar with.
