Two vice grip shows in a week I can’t believe it, but I guess I got to because I’m sitting here watching it

Any videos from the "farm" fields with old tractors and equipment is a big hit in my book!

Future video suggestions. Making bales-YES Mowing around the pond-YES cleaning the pond-YES I will literally watch all of that, just need a cold drink. Thanks for the episode, and take car!

Every time you ask if we wanna see something. I just think YES. I'm pretty sure we all would just watch any content you want to make. It's all enjoyable no matter what you decide to do.

I would really enjoy watching You set up the Fuel ⛽️ Tank system.

Derek, the answer to "If you guys want to watch..." is always "yes".

Your entire experience reminded me of growing up on the farm in Minnesota. Have a plan to get something done, one piece of equipment doesn't work, the next one has issues, you make some farmer repairs (good enough for today, but probably won't get fixed tomorrow) and then the weather turns. Thanks for the memories!

I appreciate Derek's efforts to demonstrate rural life, keeping land in production, and America's heritage of self reliance. It's all great to see here.

Nothing more satisfying than watching old equipment work out in the field. Thanks for sharing this with us!

This channel is becoming more important to me than VGG. Reminds me so much of home back in the day. I remember being in the seat of the draw bar mower for hours with dad pulling with the old JD. Even pulling the manure spreader with the horses. Brings tears of joyful memories! Thank you Derek for everything. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I know you always said you were a farmer but the way you kicked the 3 point off that brush hog let me know we were the same person 😂

Wow, having flashbacks of hot summers slinging hay bales on Grandpa's farm, stacking those as high as we dared and then Grandma bringing afternoon lunch out to the field, good memories of hard work. Keep up the great work Bieri family.

I am really anticipating the fuel tank installation video. This is really fun seeing the place come together on VG Lodge!

I'd love to watch the pond clear up and what lives in it. Man a fella needs a tractor, thanks for sharing Derek I learn on new stuff every episode.

Look how easily that old Ford tractor started. The mystery of equipment built in the past is so amazing. Dependability is everything when your miles out in a field on a tractor. Thanks Derek for interesting content that a guy wants to see.

Hey Derek and Jessica, i really enjoy your channel, you bring a variety of things that most others don't. Seeing you cutting and raking, brought back memories of my paw-paw, i was cutting, raking and baling hay since i was 8yrs old, i started with the square bales, then the round bales, i'm 47yrs old, my grandpa was and will always be my paw-paw, he's gone now, but will live on in my heart.

Pond cleanup and fuel tank install sound like a couple good videos. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, very entertain to watch for people stuck in the 9 to 5 office life.

Yeah, I’d like to see how you put all that fuel tanks together and stuff would be awesome. Enjoy watching your channel as well. Keep up the good work.

A guy here's all Gipped up. Love it!! Now for LittleGripGarage!!!😎🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I have never missed my birth home more than watching Derek around the farm. I keep hearing my own Dad's wisdom in his voice, and I keep seeing my Dad's productivity in his output...

The variety of content is awesome! Don't know how a feller has the time for all this, but I know I sure do appreciate all the hard work you do to bring it to us! Thank you Derek!

Seeing old farm equipment working, is the best thing to watch. If you're gonna start farming some of it to, that would be awesome too!

I'd watch the grass grow, anything that starts with "Vice Grip..." I'm gonna watch !!

If you had video of you painting a shed, I'd watch it. You're the most entertaining celebrity I know of.👏 Much love and blessings to all ❤️ Stay safe everyone 🤘😎

Keep up the great content. I'm disabled and I'm a car nut. This is my entertainment daily. I follow a bunch of you guys. Thank you for what you do. And little grip garage is growing too! That's awesome

Met a gent yesterday at a gas station in Tennessee who had a 72 GMC pickup. He told me he still uses it on his farm. I told him the old truck looked great and to please keep using it, that's what they were made for. He agreed. Older tool are the best. Thanks for taking us along ~ Chuck

Thanks for taking us with you. I mean it. ❤

A guy would absotively, without a doubt watch you do more farm stuff. Seeing these old machines doing work is fantastic.

Oddly enough, Every time a feller sees you have a video out on either channel, he always gives a thumbs up, because he knows it is gonna be good. Keep'em coming, but don't forget to have some rest time for yourself, and family.☝ ☺👍

I didn’t grow up on a farm and I’ve never been interested in farm machinery but I’ll watch these videos every day. I even considered buying an old tractor to play with after Derek’s videos and an episode of Stay Tuned he was on.

Back in the 1960's we went from a steel wheel side delivery rake to one of these. The red and yellow paint was very bright, and it worked just wonderful You mention bunching up the windrows and that side delivery was a master at doing that for us. Remember stopping at those bunched up piles and slowly feeding the baler with a pitchfork. And yes, we mowed and raked with an 8N and baled and hauled hay to the barn with our Farmall H.

There are still a lot of 8N Fords on the job. A true classic.

In the 70's, I was one of the youngsters out in the field throwing the bales of hay up on the trailer. I would love to what you do anything with baling. Good memories.

There is something about running a sickle mower on a dry day when the grass is falling in the right direction. Very soothing for the soul.

I used to drive a tractor for my grandad pulling a hay rake just like that. I was probably 13 years old when I was helping him do that. We cut, raked into win-rows and square bailed a bunch of hay in the summers of east Texas. Good times with my grandad. He’d say, “just don’t tell your mom I let you do this”! Haha

You need to get some ducks for your pond. Its amazing how much they clean a pond up, they are fun to watch to.

Derek, Jessica, & Family. I love to see a Christ centered family get so many blessings. You all work so hard and your eyes are focused on Him. I pray over you all for protection, perseverance, peace and joy. I pray that you al have many many blessed moment together building memories and bringing up the children to know the Lord. It is always a joy and pleasure to watch your videos. BTW, Yes on the Gas and Diesel setup, the pond clean up, and bailin' and hayin', please! You are bless my heart and life with every video. You remind me to work hard for our Lord and keep Him at the center. Though I struggle with chronic pain and sickness there is much I can do for His Kingdom. I grew up in Northern Indiana around farmers and fields as far as the eye could see. The sound of the tractor and the rake is so familiar to me. I remember summer days riding my bike up and down country roads seeing the fields being prepared and then later harvested. The roads filed with tractors and other large machinery, folks out working hard, waving to each other, and being able to stop and just say "Hi". How blessed we all were back then. You, Jessica, and your children remind me of those folks and those times. Again, thank you for being a blessing in my life. God bless you all mightily! ~John

Show it all, farming, fuel, bales, tractors, we love it all.

Derek, you dun did it to me!! I used to want an old Ford tractor, had a little land in Wisconsin, then last year moved back to Michigan into my wife’s childhood home. On a quarter acre. Now I want a tractor again!! Good job, would love to see more! God bless you all!😂

Bring on the baler. I don't miss doing it, but I'll watch you do it. Love that you're using older equipment.

I enjoyed my husband who bailed millions of bales as a teenager, talk you through this from his recliner.

Brought back memories. I raked a zillion acres of hay with an 8N and new holland as a kid.

My grandad had a sickle bar mower and a rake like this. He taught me to cut and rake hay as a teenager with a 8N Ford. Those were good days. 🙂

I'm 30 years old and grew up doing this with my dad and grandpa. We had almost exclusively Minneapolis-Moline equipment though besides a little John Deere A. Beautiful place you got, Derek. Wishing you the best. :)

I’m convinced that Derek can fix anything! 👍

Great work Derek. I like the farming vids. Old machinery always works and works.

I sure would watch a farm equipment makeover or 2 .or 3 ! Gotta keep nice equipment up and running and in good shape! Ready when you need them! You do them I'll watch em'!

Lodge episodes are amazing. Ive been watching since day 1 on this channel and theres nothing better for a feller to relax to on a sunday afternoon. Just wanted to thank a guy for all his hard work keeping us entertained.

We are ALL invested in what you do,revivals,or the homestead. Let's not forget the racing part too. Working with what you have brought back to life must be invigorating. Yeah they are old, need some work but really, that old machinery will last for your grandchildren if cared for. Well done!!

I spent many ah day raking hay with a John Deere M or a WD45 AC. We had a scissor rake like that, plus a wheel rake I liked better because its didn’t knock the leafs of the alfalfa like the scissor rake. We had a John Deere 730 Diesel we ran our big round baler with. All open cab tractors. We also had a JD 60 with a straight stack, after a full day running the straight pipe I would lay down at night and still hear the pop,pop,pop,pop,pop in my head. Those was the days. Growing up on a farm in the 80’s in rural southern Indiana was amazing times. Our farm was by the Ohio River. I remember looking at Kentucky across the river and watching the Barge tugboats going by and waving at some dumb teenager on an old John Deere tractor. I remember getting the fog horn a time or two. This brought back great memories. 🇺🇸🦅🏁

Yes, yes, and yes. I would watch it all. I grew up in the city, and all of this is fascinating.

Derek please more of the Field Work and the Tractors, thats really Interesting and to see how such old Beautyfully Maschines works after so long time still !! Thank You for all Your Work !!

We all love seeing the work you do around the homestead. Anything you want to share, we will watch.

Yes Sir Bieri Farm Fuel Station would be cool watchin. Good to see a fella get to work at home with the fam. Praying for yer knee recovery Bro.

Got a feeling that the boys are gonna be putting up some hay soon. Lol. I put up hay for local farmers during the summers sophomore through senior year. 5 cents a bale. Thought I was rich. Had a 74 binder with a 304 and was able to afford to put some white wagon wheels on it and a snazzy pioneer system with some 6905s. Late 70's early 80's. Those were the days my friend. What a time to be alive.

I’d love to see more “around the farm” stuff. Vgg stuff too, spend some time at home, maybe get some of the rusty acres rigs back on the road. Love the stuff where the family is helping out

Do it all , enjoy watching the things I’ve never seen being done before.

Man, this takes me back to my youth in Mitchell South Dakota during the 70s. That was my job was to ride the 8N tractor and rake the fields. My dad would start me off when I was a kid at second gear and then take off, he would come back later and I would be in road gear cause I got so bored in the windrows would be about 10 feet wide because I was going so fast. Love your stuff Derek

We had 250 gallon diesel tanks when we had a trash service company. It was fun when my dad told me to fill up the truck and I had to stand there for like 15 minutes rotary hand pumping 50 gallons into the trash truck. It was quite the workout for an 8 year old. Now we only have the one on a trailer that we've been thinking of turning into a smoker. Definitely show the process of getting some tanks installed. It'll be nostalgic.

Show it all. The house i grew up in was right next to a hay field. For many years, I used to just sit outside and watch the farmer cut, rake, and bail the field. A couple of times, he even let me ride along with him. Brings back a lot of memories. I can hear his big ole John Deere with the big 2 cylinder engine poppin as he went around the field in my head right now.

Maybe it doesn't seem like it to a lot of people, but I am FASCINATED with this farming equipment. Keep going brother!

The old farm equipment is very interesting Mr. Derek and that is a beautiful piece of land that you have. I think it will be cool to see you fix up that pond area like you said I will watch for that.

Made a fellers week two videos a reveal and a lodge video! I’m here for all the homestead videos as well as the car content. Big thank you to you my friend for all the family friendly content. Hope you squeeze some time with the family this month. Believe me we all would understand if you took a week or two off from the videos to spend some time with your amazing family.

This kind of material is a HIT for me, sir. The more the merrier!!!

love these videos of old farm equipment being used. I find the farm life so peaceful and reminds me of growing up on my grandpa's property running around on his Massey-Ferguson.

Put a set of winter snow tires on the rake. They will make that rake work so much better. Worked well for us.

The back of the boot heel is bar none the greatest, handiest tool for removing 3 point hitch arms. I just used mine 2 hours prior to watching this.

Don't know about anyone else, but this city fella would like to see how the hay bales are made. Thanks Derek for sharing all of these videos with us.

I'll be dipped another barn video start to the day with keep the great work up especially these lodge videos id watch them all for days

I spent a lot of time as a kid working a New Holland side bar rake, usually behind a McCormick International 414. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

When I was ten, my dad turned me loose with an 8N and a hay rake like that. I raked hay all summer with that rig and for years after. I loved doing that. It's how I learned to drive. Every morning, I'd replace broken tines, and grease all the fittings.We used section knife type hay cutters. I started using those when I was 12. That's when I learned how rivets work.

Good morning that would be cool to see the pond restoration work done ✅ 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

Every tractor has a sweet spot

Just a Few acres uses this hay rack. He just used this machine to do his field in his recent video. He cut 5 acres… He uses all old equipment. He fixes and upkeeps it all. The old stuff is simple and gets the job done! So awesome you got the old tractor with the place! Loved the video you did getting it running.

Somethin' relaxin' about watching a feller raking a field. That's some cool old farming gear, love it

I’ll be dipped!

Love to see all the farming stuff! My dad was a farmer in Iowa and I've always wanted to know more! Keep up with all farming prgress! I'd love to see the bailer and the pond get cleaned up!

Derek you do so much for all of us, have you thought about doing a possible meet and greet and those that you choose could help you out with things that you need done

Yes! absolutely, the more you want to record and share the better. We like to see your talent, and that talent is more than just your knowledge of cars. Thanks for all you do. We know you work very hard and we appreciate it!

I want to see all of it. I'm learning so much from you that my dad never taught me. Show all of it. Can't get enough of your content, buddy. Been subscribed for a long time. Love to see how far you have come and how successful you've been. My wife and I love watching you and laughing at your Derek-isms. Much love, brother. ❤

Windrowing it will help in the drying process. I love to see the old equipment out there getting it done. I really like to see some farming videos.

I grew up with my dad on the farm using one of those Rakes. The good old days!

I grew up using that exact combination of equipment. My grandad had that same setup. Brought back some great memories. Thanks!

As someone who grew up in southeastern (Dothan) Alabama surrounded by farms, I literally know nothing about any of that, that you are doing. It's fascinating to see you run equipment and see it in action. I love it! Do peanuts and cotton next!

First time on "the Lodge"...Love the old 8N. Another instant good mood! PERFECT!!! 😊

Love the lodge updates - yes on the putting up hay please!

Awesome video. I absolutely love these old tractors.

I am all up for watching baling! I thought it was super interesting to watch you drive around with old equipment and do some farm work

Great down home, feel good video Derek. Love the old equipment, as do many others apparently, and it’s available pretty cheap. Planters, tedders( you’ll need one for hay) balers, wagons..you name it. All you have to do is get it and fix it. Without the grass being totally dry, it’s wet fermented grass called silage. Regardless, please carry us along for the ride. You have such a gentle, pleasant character. Thanks again. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

Boy Derek, that looks like it would be a nice little fishin' pond. Best fishing I ever did was in those. I bet your boys would like that. Little campfire, a few bluegill and a cast iron skillet and cornmeal. Good family time.

Hello and i love the old setup for raking ,that is what i used growing up on the farm .Thanks for taking me back .Big hugs from MN

I think its so cool that you guys are showing this old equipment 55 years ago i used to go help on my uncle marks farm i really loved that 6 years old driving tractors and wrenching on equipment.

Love seeing this. Grew up on the fender of an old Ford tractor bailing hay. I miss it.

This videos reminds me... I was around 10 years old and my Dad had me rake hay with a very similar hay rake, However i pulled it with a 1971 ford pickup. Thank you sir. Great video using old equipment.

Any videos on farm work and fixin the old machines makes me happy!

Love the old tractors and equipment! Dormant, abandoned ponds make great Water Moccasin nest areas, be alert!

Derek, I can promise you, your fans will watch WHATEVER you decide to post!! Do tests on it, check out the attendance on the various types of work you’re doing anyway, and, just go from there.

I really enjoy watching the old equipment work. Brand new shiny combine Running through a field is fun to watch too. Sometimes I stop and watch. It can be majestic. 😃 I would like to see you put some oats in there or whatever is works well in that neighborhood. Around the pond... got to have room for fishing. 🦈🎣

Derek, that ain't hay oh wait that is hay! That ole Ford is a champ as is the New Holland rake! Good stuff to see! Thanks!

Derek, we.know you are crazy busy. I think those.tractors and.implements would make.amazing content for your.little human's channel. Total restore. They are.beautiful.
