One other thing I have to say I've noticed and appreciated about you Cody is that you don't hide the fact that many of the things you own are high end or expensive. The great thing about that is that you know that it's important to be a good steward of your money and time. I really enjoy the channel all the time thank you.

Congratulations on the sponsorship. I think you are handling this the right way - you are an inspiration to KZfaqrs like me... have been for a long time.

can't beat metric. I'm happy they gave you the tractor for two yrs. it looks quality.

Nothing like field testing of a new product, Yanmar is very lucky to have you test their product for you. Congrats!

Cody you are so candid with all that you do. It's always informative and fun to watch your videos! I would like to see more of Mrs. W and what she is up to on these cold days!

Thank you for your honesty. It is refreshing on youtube where everyone is trying to sell you something without being clear about sponsorship.

I'm glad you do these testings and reviews the way you do them. That's one big reason I watch your channel for.

That big smile on Mrs. Wranglerstar always warms my heart a little...

Thanks for sharing that info cody! I know allot of subs like myself are always curious how and why you get the different equipment and you could have decided not to share and you know we would still eat your videos up! The transparency is awesome and again, thank you for this tidbit into your operation and homestead! Best wishes.

You know you have a loving wife when she feigns interest in your new tractor part.

I love watching you and Mrs. W interact it's always either fun or loving, and that is a beautiful thing.

Love the Yanmar and snowplow! Thank you SO MUCH for plowing our drive, all 3 miles round-trip! It's so much better than when we use our snowblower, and today I'm pretty sure we'll be out there touching it up before dark with all the snow coming down.

My Crescent wrench is a combination wrench, it's a left handed metric, a right handed SAE and a British Two Handed wrench.

Awesome deal you struck..Great job!

Hey brother I just want you to know that you’re doing a lot for me right now and getting me through a very tough time. Thank you for your words or wisdom and inspiration. May god bless you and your family.

Thank you so much for honestly answering our questions. You're the most real people on KZfaq. I am a subscriber for life. Thanks so much for being a part of my daily life. God Bless

2 thumbs up for your honesty. Excellent opp for all of us to see the tractor in use that a tractor rodeo won't show.

I've been a subscriber since your bulldozer struggles, happy to see you in a new piece of equipment

Thanks for explaining about the tractor, especially the details of your agreement with Yanmar. Kudos to them for there efforts.

Good for you guys. Fruit of your YT labor. It's great to see people prosper and I hope they let you keep it.

I work for a Yanmar distributor. Yanmar makes the things that John Deer, Hitachi, etc use to make their equipment.

Loving the Lynard Skynard

I'm happy for you that you found a way to have a tractor to use without having to go out of pocket. Congrats and may blessings continue to come your way!

Cody, Glad you took the time to tell us about Yanmar. I am excited to see the Dyna firewood processor. Thanks for sharing as always, Brad

John Deere uses Yanmar engines in their sub compacts have owned one for since 2003 and nothing but good things to say

Well I'll be! They do come in metric and standard!

Thanks for the tractor update. Excited for you and your new venture with Yanmar.

My father had a Yanmar in his sailboat. Marvelous engine. Two years ago I was looking at the local Yanmar dealer who was just getting established when I decided to get a tractor. At that time all he had were tractors in the 20 hp size which was smaller than I was looking for. He didn't have a large selection or knowledge base about his product so instead of buying a new smaller tractor I elected to go with a larger used tractor. I settled on the Kioti DK 45 which has been a great tractor. I have been adding my implements as the need arises. It's pretty hard to homestead without equipment. We live on the east coast of Canada in the province of New Brunswick right on the Bay of Fundy. Lots of snow here too but our trees are smaller :-). I hope you enjoy your tractor and you will be amazed with what you can do with one. Lots to learn too but that's part of the fun.

Is that crescent wrench left hand or right hand thread ;-)

I have metric Crescent wrenches in 4 different sizes 6in 12in 24in and 36in

Awesome deal Cody! I'm glad you guys were able to work something out to get a tractor! I'm sure you will enjoy having it around!

Thanks for the video on the tractor. I look forward to you using it and all of us getting to see a long term review of it. I'm excited, there's so much work to be done!

A lot of John Deere compact tractors and skid steers ran Yanmar engine's, not sure if they still do. Should be a great tractor for a small operator like you. Maybe after the testing is done you can buy it for a decent price. Once its gone you will miss it!!!

Of course there is a crescent wrench with metric. It's a Swedish invention. 😀

I also wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and the fact that we all can trust your channel for honest opinions about the equipment that you use

I have a 1977 yanmar ym2000 and I love it. I heard rumor yanmar may come to America with the new tractor market and was ecstatic to see your first video with it! All I've ever had to do is replace the alternator and starter on mine. My experience and what I've seen with others is that Yanmar just works.

that there is one them West Virginia socket sets 😂

Love your videos, but was particularly impressed with your arrangement with Yanmar. Smart marketing on their part, and the hands off approach shows some real smarts. I was profoundly disappointed with Kubota's short sighted decisions with another popular person on KZfaq .

That's a great deal for you and Yanmar. I look forward to future videos on your review of the tractor.

They couldn't have a better guy testing it. 👍 Glad you got the fittings figured out.

Its an adjustable spanner sometimes known as a Swedish nut rounder.

I like yanmar to I'm gonna look at this tractor I need a compact with some snot and an enclosed cab. I really like the size of that machine and the quick attach

Good for you Cody! You are a man of integrity and I really appreciate you candid opinions.

Thanks for the honesty. You are blessed. And Yanmar knows that after two years it will still look almost new under your care.

🎶🎵SWEET RED, YANMAR TRACTOR OH HOW I LOVE DRIVING YOU 🎶 SWEET RED, YANMAR TRACTOR I'LL BE SO SAD COME YEAR 2🎵🎶

lol just because it has metric measurements doesnt mean that it cant be used on imperial!

1st time in a long time that I actually read other comments prior to my making mine. 1st a crescent wrench is just a crescent wrench. I enjoy how Cody comments on it being metric or standard, but in truth it doesn't matter, it's adjustable for any size needed within the scope of the size of the wrench. As for the tractor, I will never have a use for a tractor, but I am extremely impressed with the functionality of this one. Can't wait to see how it is still operating towards the end of the 2 year test/evaluation period. My uncle taught me how to drive his 1941 John Deer back in the late 50's early 60's plowing his corn fields. I completely enjoyed that tractor. When it finally died, he replaced it (after a ton of research) with a Kobuta because that was the best tractor available for the money at the time. I feel from viewing Cody's videos so far, this Yanmar is a vast improvement on the Kobuta and will be a great work horse for this small homestead of his. I also need to comment on the great degree of integrity Cody constantly displays. I truly believe he is going to provide an honest, tough evaluation of everything he has been provided to test. Have a great day and stay warm.

You are having more fun with that tractor than is legal! Thank you for the additional information you put under the videos now. It is really helpful.

Watch out while lubricating. My neighbour's pipe burst and the grease blinded him pernamently. Lean away from it.

What saws have you looked at for a replacement to the big stihl? :)

Finally a Yanmar tractor channel this is the world I dream of!!!!!

Glad to hear it was all cleared up with the fittings. Thanks for the vid Cody. I always enjoy them!

Here Is the Link To My Filson Mackinaw Cruiser Coat: goo.gl/gcihgN

Enlighten me. Whats the advantage of the Frost Bite over the grapple you already had Cody?

Metric Crescent Wrench has been one of my running jokes for years. I love it when I can get the maintenance guys to go to the shop to check. Lot of fun in parts stores too.

hey Cody your choice of music at the beginning of the last three videos has been excellent! thanks for putting these up it really helps kill the boredom

Did the tractor transmission have a high range? You seem to always drive in low range. Is there à reason ?

sooo? your not an advertisement, but in every vid thers a yanmar tractor reaching 500k subs, all like minded in intrest. congrats your now a infomercial

Sponsored content, but you're not selling out. It's very much appreciated that you can stay impartial and provide honest opinions to all your viewers. Well done!

Great that answers our questions! Glad you have such a good relationship with them and you worked out a good deal

sweet deal you got for sure. But lets be honest. They gave you the use of the tractor because your channel is very popular especially with viewers who use products like these. wish you would just come out and say yes I am advertising this tractor. Yanmar or any other business just doesnt go around looking for nice guys to give tractors to. I kind of feel like your not being honest to us. You have done a lot of hard work to make yourself successful so I think its fine that you get the perks. You have done this with a lot of products and I would to thats for sure. Just please keep making those good ole Wranglerstar DIY videos that everyone likes and a little bit less product air time. Gets old when you sit and talk about a bag or knife or tractor for 20 minutes. Also that Metallica song that you had in the start of yesterdays video was bad ass.

What an awesome opportunity! Looking forward to future tractor videos. Drive safe and beware of what is behind you.

Wranglerstar and YANMAR , perfect together! I hope you get to use it as long as you want to.

You just answered a question that I asked on one of your other videos as to how you acquired such a magnificent machine. You certainly have been blessed. I hope that Yanmar gave you a sweet deal for buying it at the end of your 2 year test period. I'm sure that you would want to keep it. It's just the right size for the homestead, not too small like most other makers', and not to large. It's beefy and the perfect size. Yanmar chose the right person to display their product with. Watching it work around your homestead has me sold. When I have $50,00 dropped in my lap, the first thing I will do is run out and buy one myself.

I'm glad that you love life and enjoy it as a family.

Thanks for the update on the fittings. We all learn something everyday.

I didn't know you got the tractor as a test but I was just telling someone about how much I liked it and thought about getting one in the future.

Glad yan mar did this for you and most definitely glad you were able to resolve the connection issue 😊

Good onya Mr W - I think Yanmar is a great brand too - had lots of dealing with their products while working out on remote ranches in the Northern Territory of Australia over the years. Glad to see an honest man declare his interest at the outset.

Cody, congratulations! So happy all the running around has ended for you with finding parts. Way to keep at it!

Wow, the frost bite is a serious rig, amazing lift power and those logs really seem to be secure in the jaws, and clean release. This rig is so going to be useful for you on the homestead, it is a powerhouse for its size.

Yanmar is extremely lucky, and smart. Having a honest person with integrity use and give a review of your product is priceless.

Love the shots of your place and your perseverance theme, boy do we all need it!!

Looking forward to seeing more tractor work and the leupold course. Happy new year Wranglerstar and Family!

I would just like to say that you are a wonderful man! And a blessing to this earth!

We absolutely love our Yanmar tractor can't say enough good things about these machines!

LOVE IT! I just bought my first little tractor. It's a little John Deere and it's got a little 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel in it too. Man I love that smell and sound! Fun toys!

Just add this video started I was thinking that Yanmar should be very thankful to you for all the free advertising...I'm glad I waited to comment. Fun video. Thanks Cody and family.

Good! It was nice to see Heart Racer run by you in the video. I hope you enjoy the course. My dad used to be a certified handgun instructor who competed in the combat handgun categories. So you can say I grew up with that stuff.

I like the tractor and equipment videos, glad to see things working out well for you and your family Cody! Keep the vids coming!

I'm not sure how much thought you put into the music selection for your videos, but they are tailor made for your channel's philosophy. Taking more mainstream, contemporary, modern rock and roll (for example) and using more traditional instruments, acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, etc., fits the persona of modern homesteading to a tee! Keep up the great work as all ways.

What a life! Playing (working) on the homestead everyday. Well done!

I am Happy for you got your grapple up and operating and i have made up my mind about buying a Yanmar tractor same model as yours, i am buying a set of wheel weights for it also with all the bells and whistles thanks for explaining about your tractor . that was a big help in making up my mind about a new tractor for my farm .

Stay warm and thanks for sharing

Yay! They fit! Fantastic...considering the professional "help" that you got @ the shop.

Cody, IMHO no need to offer a full disclosure on every product comes your way. You have grown your mission/business for success with over 500K subscribers. I think all your worldwide subscribers have no worries with your integrity. Those that worry or have concerns on how you acquired a product to show us is simple jealousy on their part.The success of the channel speaks for itself.

I always enjoy watching your videos. You have a great family and are living the right way!

Cool that you got things straightened out and that you have this opportunity to use the tractor as well!

Good thing that you disclosed the tractor deal. But you could have done it earlier, yesterday I wrote a rant about it that I'm glad i didn't post :)

Good to see you got things figured out!

Been there with fittings! Used to happen at work fairly often setting up new equipment, part of the journey and feels great to get sorted out and learn a bit too!

I really appreciate your candor in everything you do. Keep up the videos....I really enjoy every one of them.

I'm so glad there is a company willing to give you that kind of freedom, keeping the advertisement and script out of your vlogs, giving you the AMAZING opportunity to ride around in warmth and work around the homestead during winter. I hope my family and I can do something very similar one day, 80k$ in school loans holding us back 😞

Thanks for the videos. I consider them homework in preparations of starting my homestead.

Cody, I have been watching your videos for about 3 years on and off. You Sir are a true inspiration, I am new into my faith and i am still learning everyday how to be the man Christ wants me to be. Your attitude and discipline is something i strive achieve !!! I Praise Jesus for your influence, keep it up!!!

Thanks for your candor about the tractor.

Brother I must say, ya know I always love your videos, but I am truly enjoying all the classic rock cover music in them as of late. Keep it up and God bless you and the family.

I love your Yanmar! Hope you get to keep it.

Nothing it seems, is ever official or worth it, until it has you question things you know to be true. I just went through this rebuilding the front end of my truck. Glad to see you like your tractor, and the attachment seems to fit in just right with your operation.
