Bet you thought would this never happen...today I'm repairing the flat tire on the eggmobile! 'Tis the season for catching up on maintenance and repair projects, as well as our usual jobs with the animals. While I'm doing the work, I'll talk a little about cattle fly control and why "one size fits all" farming solutions often don't work.

I just wanted to say thank you for being so kind. We (my husband, grandson and I) drove out from Waterford, NY (the oldest continuously incorporated village in the US) and were at the farmers market in Ithaca this past Saturday. My grandson has Williams Snydrome and you were very kind to him and he was very excited to meet you. He also has since asked if you remembered to say “Hi” to your son, Henry from him, his name is Camden.

I am impressed. So few people today know how to fix things. And those that do that's all they do. They know nothing about the difference between soil and dirt much less anything about raising farm animals. Except for the fact that my father didn't own a tractor, he farmed with horses, your videos remind me of my childhood. And it wasn't far from your farm.what a beautiful place to live a beautiful life.

I could taste that pear, just by the sound. On the mountain, we had pear trees along the dirt road, and an old apple orchard that produced apples as big as two fists together. I remember the flavor of both fruits in the hot late August sun. Also, the side hill was covered in wild strawberries and thyme, and those aromas are burned into my sense memory.

I love the old tractors and equipment you operate. When I was a kid on the farm and our main tractor was Farmall International. We did have a Minneapolis Moline, which was the big plow tractor. (4 bottom plow) and back then that was big. But now a day all you see is the big modern tractors that cost upwards of 500K. You maintain them and they'll last forever.

The greasers for the tractor brought back memories. There was a shed near our house when I was a kid where they worked on equipment, and 60 years ago there were no doors much less locks. The greasers fascinated me, but I didn’t see them in action. My dad was the cow man, and we were forbidden from that shed! Yeah, right. Where did we go to work on our bikes? Thanks for the memories.

I’ve been dealing with crankcase moisture on my new-to-me H. Previous owner restored it and used it as a parade tractor solely. Worked it in front of a brush hog and changed the oil twice after an hour of run time each, really seemed to help. Oil pressure isn’t quite where I’d like to see it so I may be following suit with main bearings and oil pump rebuild.
