We got 6 feet of snow! Well, not quite, but the tv weather people tend to exaggerate things. Hil and I dig in to dig out, plowing the driveways with the Farmall Super A and the good old shovel. We check on and care for the cattle, pigs, and chickens through the winter snowstorm, and have some fun doing it.

I love it all, repairs, cows, pigs, chooks, grass, hay, water. Just like a farmers day of many chores.
Pete never apologize for posting the real life on your farm. We understand that life on a farm changes from day to day and like life isn't rosy each day. Keep warm and health and enjoy the farm life.
Agreed

My wife and I don't care if it's tractor's animals farmer's market or plowing snow, you could do a video on sweeping the floor, we'll watch it 😉
Exactly!!
Said
Me too x
Oh my goodness! I love it! I’m sorry you for wet! I love seeing the cows running in the snow! Oh wow another foot of snow! I chuckled when you woke the pigs up!
Got to love the old iron, no complaints, no unruly computers, water in fuel sensors, dead batteries, just simplicity. Farm life, no neighbors, traffic,cities telling you when to cut your grass, paint the house only this color don't park here........ Yes I love the country too! Oh and the stinky manure you get use to it.
Darn it! All that snow. Condolences from snowy Canada. I like the old tractor restoration videos, they are a rare thing to come by .
It''s a working farm. Animals are part of it. Snow is part of it. Repairs are part of it. I have always liked how to videos. You do wonderful repair and rebuild on your equipment. I do that on a limited basis. Fun to watch with memories when I was on the farm.
Love those tractors
Agree snow removal with a bucket tractor is time consuming!
Loved seeing the snow! Never worry about whether or not we all like your content. I learn something new every time I watch! Even with the tractor, it amazes me how much I didn’t know!
I was laughing when the tractor came busting out of the barn with the music! And then I laughed again at the end with your dream loop. It reminded me of some cartoon that I forgotten where they just keep waking up and repeating.
No getting sick on a farm. Daily chores never end.
Pete, I enjoy all of you're videos, especially the piggers, or the roaches running, and the cow videos are interesting. Keep the videos comming.
Cant wait to see Henry get older and take charge of the farm !!
I love plowing snow with our super A. Those little tractors will scoot! It also seems like they don't mind the cold as much as a H or M.
The calf has good taste in tractors! I live in Louisiana and we have hurricanes! No fun at all! Too much wind!! I love your tractors! Especially that little one that you used for plowing the snow!
Enjoying winter on a 110 degree Texas day. I’m ready!!
Please don't apologize about the content, it's all good. I love the mix shop/tractor/animals/farm stuff ! keep up the good work and videos. Thanks
Run, run, run, that always makes me smile. Wow you have a pile of snow there and the cattle look well insulated in their winter clothes.
Dexters love snow!

Enjoying all your videos especially using your classic machinery & the tractor rebuild project including the methods you use.------THANKS
I think we like all you post. Days here, days there, here a pig, there a cow, maybe listen to chickens clucking. O......working on a tractor!!!!.....All things done by you........on a Farm. Keep'em coming!!!
Don't apologize. Your videos are GREAT. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Pete for showing us your few Acres Farm I like it a lot
Your videos brighten up my day. Keep them coming. Love all the animals, they are so much fun. Have a great day.
Winter on the farm has it's own beauty, perks, trials, and appreciation from folks like me who came from a ranch (although besides all the cattle, it was also essentially a farm to provide for the family and the hired hands). I have a feeling that a lot of us 'scribers feel a sense of ease (so to speak) with the winter routine y'all show us. Thanks and keep it ALL coming.
The Super A saves the day and tells it's big brothers "I can handle this job all by myself." Love all your videos Mr. Pete!
Your videos always cheer me up and put a smile on my face.
Goodness that’s a lot of snow! This year in southern Manitoba we hardly have anything if you compare to prior years!
I like watching all the activities on the farm.
Loving all the different kinds of videos! I want to restore a tractor now and start a small farm!
Pay no attention to those naysayers, Pete!!! I really LOVE your MD restoration videos!! They're fascinating to see how Farmall came up with the MD idea and how complex it is. Besides, winter is a time for those who live on the land to get a rest and recuperation from the super busy growing seasons and the hectic pace a farmer needs to maintain. Your family farm takes me back to my own family farm in Minnesota days. The winter saw our daddy be able to relax a bit, in his shop like you, and have a season of basic rest. Oh sure, he had to fix any winter needs that developed, but overall, it was a great time in the winter.
Back in the 50's there was a Farmall dealer about 40 miles from the small town I lived in. My grandfather made some kind of arrangement with him to bring some of his used tractors to our town and sell them. My grandfather allowed me and a buddy or two to occasionally drive around on them. We'd spend hours on the backroads around town. Watching your videos brings back a lot of memories of the Farmall A, H, and M. Great machines.
Good to see all the animals again, specially the pigs....run run run run. 🤣
No worries Pete. Your channel, your life...This virtual space is great. Keep it up!
I'm glad you post everything (tractor maintenance) and show the reality instead of creating an illusion of what farm life would be like.
I enjoy hearing Pete's approach to tractor restoration. I've done many restorations myself (of the green kind), but I like to hear a different perspective on renewing or replacing parts or even "the evil" (some purists think) of replacing a generator with a simple one-wire alternator.
Long time viewer here. You are funny keep up the good work. Be glad you have a wife that likes to work like you and help you do anything. And don’t worry about any haters. Don’t take it to heart even if it’s toward your kids or wife. They do not really know y’all and you don’t know them stay happy brother.
Hi my wife and i enjoy watching your videos, She grew up not to far from you in Gorham Ny, but we have lived in Tn fifty plus years!
Keep doing the videos as you are Pete. I enjoy them.
Great video. Very glad you show real farm life, which is seasonal! I knew farmers who still use horses so in the winter they work on the tack, repairing etc. Also indoor projects both in the home and barn because in the warm weather they are outside sometimes for 16 hours a day. Seasonal... anyway great job !!!
Don't apologize for your life,,,i enjoy seeing what you do during the day, you and your wife work really well together ,,,I'm a city boy so I can't feel your pain,,,,from Florida,,,❤😂
I love work! I could watch you work all day long!
Great primetime video enjoyed it. No snow here well maybe an inch 2.5 cm. I'm about 4 hours west of you on the north shore lake Erie in Ontario. Once again enjoy your videos thankyou. Have a great day
There's nothing to apologize about. It's farms like yours that supply the food for the rest of us.
I have no problem with your winters,working on the MD is great to watch,cause I know it,will seem like a week or two,that your days won’t be long enough,I realize your priorities,they are a must,this is real farm life in the winters months,as you do,I accept also! Enjoy your inside time while it lasts.
!
These vids are awesome! MD work vids are helping learn a lot more about old tractors, and especially the technical stuff! Love your channel Pete!
My parents moved us from Western Pennsylvania to central Oklahoma back in the early 70s. Mom used to like to tell of the times she had to leave her childhood 2story home thru an attic window because of snow drifts. They got a heck of a surprise in Oklahoma their first winter here. Turns out a 3,000 pound 1966 Chevy Impala is not a very good vehicle in an ice storm! the good thing is the snow/ice doesnt stick around very long at all. If we're lucky it sticks around a day or two. Except for this last February... but that was a once in a lifetime storm.. hopefully! Much love from Oklahoma! PS... loved the kitty's reaction!🤣
The pigs totally cracked me up.
I love all your videos, feeding livestock, fixing equipment, plowing, even your jokes lol always looking forward to your videos.
Nowadays your channel is becoming my favorite one to watch
Thanks Roy! Glad to hear it!
Definitely a team effort. You guys do good!!
thank you Pete and Mrs. Pete
Morning Pete, family and future farmers. It's always great seeing the animals. I would be there to help you with your chores in a flash, especially the pigs but my wife says Im behind on mine here! Have a great day all!!
I don't miss the white stuff since I moved to Florida! Well, I miss it once in a while, but I would just like it for a day or two, then back to the wonderful warmth we have here.
But you make it look fun on your farm!
I like tractors and seeing what is all involved with maintaining a farm. Thanks for sharing.
Never worry,...we love the tractor videos!!
I enjoyed watching this in August when it’s 90 degrees and humid every day, and my clothes were soaked in sweat just from working outside a couple hours this afternoon.
Love the Super A. My parents still have my grandparents original bought in 1949.
It's important to like where you live. I'm glad that you like snow. I had my fill growing up in KC and Colorado. Retired to Arkansas last year. According to my neighbors it's been over 3 years since we've had a 1 inch snow!
I've always liked being outside in the cold and snow. I still do. My joints, however, are not fond of cold. Arthritis and knee replacement.
I always loved going in the henhouse with snow covered boots and having chickens pick all the snow off. Just the way they would crowd around my feet.
We (dad, uncle and grandfather) all had Farmalls when I was growing up. Seeing yours always brings back good memories 😄👍
I've plowed a lot up here in Maine. you can plow with a bucket just fine. Of course you won't angle the bucket like you do a plow blade but being able to push the banking back works better with a bucket. The very best tool to put snow exactly where you want it is a snowblower. I know you're tighter than bark on a tree Pete but, the time a snowblower would save might make a huge difference. There must be something you could rig up to one of those awesome red tractors that have a PTO. We love your show. Blessings from Rumford.
love the snow! we don,t get much here in the netherlands anymore..miss it a lot! greetings from the netherlands
That farm keeps you busy. I could imagine Winter inside the House. Nice Video.
Doing some snow ploughing 4 times a winter? Sounds nice! Couldn't plough too often where I come from. The furrow would just be too hard and dense after a while. Therefor the loader with a bucket is indispensable and a snowblower for the PTO is just heaven. A good winter where I live is at least 20 - 30 days of removing snow. Fun to watch and hear the difference. Stay safe and keep up the videos.
Don't apologize for the videos. In a strange way, this is one of those things us 9-5 city people love about farm life. Things slow down in the winter, you fix what breaks and enjoy a little slower pace. It's good to show it.
It’s a darn good show! Keep it up
+1 the variety is one of the charming things about the channel. Thanks for sharing.
That's good to know. All the schools are closed in are area; Harford Co. Md. When my wife & I were growing up we both lived on a farm and we had to feed and water the stock before we got on the school bus.
Love this channels content. Grew up on a farm in another country now in newyork city. Would love to move to a farm oneday here upstate.

Great weather there EXCEPT for temps below freezing! 😎 Tim in northern TN
Feeling the same here on the snow. Feels just like you. Keep these tractor videos coming. There a part of life on the farm as is anything else. Repair time is often around CNY done in the winter months. Can't wait to see that MD running again.
Nothing to apologise for, Pete. I’m not a farmer or mechanic but I’m loving the tractor videos. (I like the variety too). I want to see that MD run again in a nice new coat of red paint!
Pete, Love it all keep them coming!!!
I love your stories and the jokes. Tractors are part of the farm life. People don't like it too bad. Keep up your vlogs. Thanks Pete. One of my Sisters lives in Canadaquia.
Grand videos Pete, farm work is a variety of many things I know, I live in the tropics now (Costa Rica) but born and raised on the farm in Canada. Here it is green or greener! Have a great day.
Did you retire to Costa Rica? I heard it's a great place to retire to from the States. I've lived in Wisconsin all my life. It'd be quite a move but I've thought about it.
@@garyfuiten5126 Yes retired but from Canada, great country here, grand people.
Another fantastic video! The preview pic in the email and google notifications made me laugh. Thanks Pete!
I love the day to day life you share with us. From the barn to the garage, the chickenhouse to the field's I love it. I do the miss farming. We had a 48 acre family farm in central WV. We had 25-30 head of cattle, we alway's had an abundant of chicken's, several hog's and 3-4 horse's.
Been a mild winter here in Maine, but now here comes the frigid temps. That old Super A sounds super. Lots of chores to do. Many blessings to you.
Keep the tractor videos coming! And my condolences, that is too much snow.
Hillary seems so quiet,& contended ,,,good quality to have.. Robert/Florence.
Screaming winter farmall hydraulics!
I like the diversity in your videos. Keeps things interesting
Always like your days and with h and h helping you. Sorry Hillary and Henry.
Snow makes the hay look like frosted mini wheats. 😜
Hi Pete. I enjoy both farm and restoration videos! Thanks
Here on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada, we had "snow" for about the time it took me to drink a mug of tea - LOL!! I'm sure there was snow up on the mountains, but here at ocean level, it was no more than the "icing" on your cattle this January. Usually, we get one day of snow that basically stops everything - due to all the curves and hills on the roads :-). Happy "drying off" after your afternoon chores. I love to see and hear all that goes on around your farm - in all seasons. Your "slowing down in winter" reminds me that perhaps I should do that, too :-)). Yours in Gratitude for sharing...
I AM FROM BERMUDA I LOVE YOUR FARM WOW LOTS OF SNOW
Well, no matter what ya do, have fun with it!!!
this my life. you cant please all the people. keep on going!!
Watching this one works for current weather
Go ahead and enjoy that snow we are watching from s tx low 70's winter garden going great
I grew up in the Ohio snow belt. My first car was a Jeep Wagoneeer with a snow plow on it. Nice winter money from my suburban customers, a ton of fun, and NO School !! At 68 now living outside of Philadelphia I still love the snow. Unlike many others my joints thrive in this weather. Of course the best part is watching my Gkids play in it ! Kinda like watching your cows.
Very well done!
Love all your posts! Thanks!
Great video Pete and Hillary. Keep 'em coming. Another month and there will be that whiff of spring in the air.
Pete - it's your channel, put out the content you want to. I appreciate the videos you put out and keep coming back when there is a new one. I like the tractor restoration videos, glad to see someone bring the old iron back. I can't wait to see the MD running again.
Well with the snow we forget about all the mud . For awhile must be not seeing it but its laying around some where just waiting to pop up lol thanks Pete
Well done Pete. We got 32 inches here just north of Lehigh Valley in PA so we are also cooped up at home and these videos are a joy to watch no matter the subject
I love living in Upstate NY., I live eight miles from Gore Mountain Ski Center. A lot of times I look at where you are from to see what is coming our way the next day. I also love the four seasons. I grew up a mile from where I live now.
Frosted cow's, I love it. This video is so "cool" to see on a hot August night,
You never have to apologize for what the creator gives you! That’s farming
Enjoy the winter.
