I am retired dump truck driver and wake up at 3 am every morning and I watch your videos until wifey gets out of bed cheers from Brantford ontario canada ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Molly it is so good to see husband and wife work together. so many people have so forgotten that!!. i was brought up that when you marry or when your in a relationship it is side by side in everything. thats how you grow together as a team.. thanks for sharing..
Yes I agree, Shane and I work really well together, and we are best friends. We do everything together. He is a great teacher and encourages me to learn. It is refreshing to know there are more couples out there doing the same. Thank you for watching :)
That is a fantastic work environment, crew,bosses ,, pride in what you all accomplish each day,,I never knew all this took place growing and selling potatoes...hope for many more videos..🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Just blown away… you just jump in there and get things done… impressed - hell of a woman… they so do not make them like you anymore… absolutely not… you’re amazing Molly
Molly , as a suggestion please remove your ring on your finger , farm accidents happen in particular ways , safety first , we don't want you to lose a finger or wrist , be safe always !
Qalo and a number of others make very nice silicone bands that are much safer for those who do this kind of work. My ring has saved my finger from being degloved many times.
love to see a woman working on stuff perfectly able to do so my oldest daughter changed the whole front end on her pickup after hitting a deer didit all by herself just had to help her pickup the parts as she couldnt lift them alone kudos to ya kiddo good job
Hey thanks! All it takes is the will to learn, and not minding getting a little dirty. Sounds like your daughter is a hard worker too! Thank you for watching :)
Not a knock on your farm or your maintenance love the vids When we go thru our spud equipment everything gets tore down we remove all bearings feel for rough spots then we needle all the bearings before they go back into the housings my last digger was twenty years old a four row double l I had one u joint go bad in the field and a center bearing on the primary which was a new bearing all the outer bearings were twenty years old, plus it’s a safety issue ya tend to hurt yourself when you’re under pressure and in a hurry As I said I’m not knocking ya I think you guys run pretty clean
Yeah, I feel like we never have enough time to do anything. It’s usually a game of catch up. We really don’t have much down time anymore. A week here and there throughout the year. I’m glad you enjoy the videos, Thank you for watching!
I hope Shane knows you’re a keeper!! Had a silent chuckle to myself when I saw Shane with gloves on and Molly bare handed. My puller like that says not to use impact on it. I guess use impact in moderation. Good job working together.
I’m not sure if you are supposed to use an impact on that or not, but we do it and it seems to work fine. Haha about the gloves, I’m not skilled enough to work with gloves on yet :) thank you for watching :) I don’t think he could get rid of me if he tried !
Never say your not strong enough to do anything I’ve seen enough from you to see you can do anything you want great video I hated changing bearings myself especially when you have to take a bunch of stuff off just to get to it lol 😂 thanks for sharing
Thanks for the supportive words! Another new skill! Yes agreed it’s always a pain to take a bunch of stuff off just to change one thing. Thank you very much for watching :)
@@jeffreyshier9021 Yes, there are some things I am just not strong enough for, but having a technical engineering mind, and 30 years of work in construction and repair trades has taught me to use physics. It is a good thing since my body hasn't held up nearly as well as I had hoped with wear and tear and genetics. My brother and I work construction jobs together and he is the bull in the china closet unless he has to be precise and I am the methodical one who works out the best method before killing my body or the other worker's bodies. Work smart instead of hard, if you have the choice.
Just discovered this channel, awesome! And you’re right in my backyard! I’m gonna have to drop off some safety glasses for you guys… keep up the good work! 👍👍
Nice job, always something that needs repaired or serviced on a farm. If I may make a suggestion, please wear safety glasses. I’ve seen several serious eye injuries in my career. Thanks for sharing your video.
You are right! Safety squint is not the best practice. I will try to wear glasses when I am doing work like that! Thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for watching.
Hello Molly, geez you're a awesome working farm gal! Have you ever tried tight fitting nitrile gloves? Hope Shane realizes how valuable you are. Still great videos. Stay safe.
Molly, you may want try them for mechanics also. Millions of professional and do it yourselfers use them everytime they work on equipment, .... I'm just sayin' :)@@BellsFarming
@@danfurbish3259 haha did you hear me say “ I couldn’t work with those gloves on” it was those gloves, but they are 8ml and textured so they don’t stretch much. I’ll give it a better try next time!
Molly, ;) customary mechanics Nitrile gloves are only 3 mils thick, yes they tear occasionally, but you leave the box close by to replace them often, ;) ;) have a great weekend. Get your snow equipment ready...@@BellsFarming
Generally speaking, if replacing parts, chains , sprockets, rollers, bearings, etc. yes those situations equipment is lock out-tag Out. Obviously when making adjustments such as belt tracking, pneumatic actuator speeds/synchronization equipment has to be on/ running, but by that point in the game guards are usually back installed and hands/fingers aren’t going in “bad places” lol
😅I have seen you carry a battery and move a huge rock I think you are plenty strong. I lost my eye changing a brg so not a fan of safety squint. Take care and be safe.
Hey Brad, I’m sorry to hear about your eye, I had someone else comment about the safety squint. I will wear glasses from now when doing work like that. Thank you for sharing your story with me. And thanks for laughing at my comment about not being strong enough hahah :)
Molly... were you ever involved with Future Farmers of America (FFA) there in Vermillion? Both my cousins were deeply involved in FFA through their school, Firelands.
No actually, I had nothing to do with the farming when I was younger. I don’t think vermilion had FFA. I think the families that were In farming went to firelands. My cousins went to firelands.
Not looking for something to criticize, but. Using good screwdrivers as drifts will damage the tips. A couple of sets of cylindrical driving tools, aka drifts, are cheap. Can be had made of steel or brass (for more delicate work, lest you reshape that). Then your screwdrivers will retain ability to get purchase on screws. Slotted screws are enough trouble without exacerbating things. Reed & Prince much mo' betta.
Great advice! Shane is so used to doing everything with whatever tools are laying around, there was a time when they really didn’t have much. I will look into getting some! I like tools to make jobs easier for me! Thank you for watching!
Molly, the right tools will cut your work in half... Farmers "generaly" do shit ass backwards... I don't understand it... Go get the right tools and move that farm into the blacker part of the ledger...
I agree with you there. The he right tool makes life so much easier. I believe that farmers often do things “backwards” because they don’t have the right tools because they either can’t afford them, or they are lost hahahh. But they always manage it get it done!
Also, there is so much different equipment we have to work on. As well as being plumbers and electricians and carpenters and concrete workers and mechanics and tires that owning all the “proper” tools would be impossible. Don’t have to win every battle as long as you win the war .
