I just want you to know that Diesel Creek dropped a video this morning around the same time you did and here I am watching yours first. You should feel honored. 😂
@@digdrivediy I was going to say the same thing! LOL I've got the Diesel Creek video queued up for right after yours! I am a bit biased though....you have more Deere equipment, he has more CAT......I've worked for John Deere for 25 years, so I've got to go with the green first! 🙂
Happy Mother's Day Kara! I'm a 63 year old Mother, Grandmother and I absolutely love channels like this one. I do all the maintenance in our home, I pick out all the vehicles and do all the repair work if needed. My husband is a retired prosecutor and he does all the business related jobs. But channels like this are my cup of tea! Plus, I'm an identical twin.
“This could be useful somewhere else” said every DIY guy every time they take something apart. We need a Container Store for DIY stuff (since we don’t have as many metal coffee cans and margarine containers as we used too!)
A couple years after putting in an electric fence, it failed in a dozen places due to the clay soil drying out and pulled the wire apart. When I replaced it I used small irrigation tubing as an armor jacket, pulling the wire through before burying it. Not only was it clay proof, it was pretty much shovel proof as well. We lived there for more than 10 years without another break. The trick is to use a vacuum pump to suck fishing line through the irrigation tube first and then pull the wire through.
Neil - I intended to comment sooner, but it was great to see you and your family a few months ago at Universal in front of Hagrid’s. I laughed afterward as I said your channel name wrong, didn’t remember your name, nothing was right… Although we only talked a few seconds, you were very gracious, it reinforced the genuine nature of your channel. And for anyone else reading this comment, Neil is 100% the same in person… except maybe an inch or two shorter than I expected. It must be the exceptional physical strength that lead me to think you were taller. ;-). Best to you and your family.
Well it was very nice to meet you Derek. We never even considered getting recognized when on vacation so it was a fun moment for our family and very humbling to encounter appreciative viewers. Thanks for saying hi and coming back to comment! And yes, thankfully for me the camera does seem to make me look taller! :) Take care!
Neil, awesome video you have a beautiful property and it’s well maintained. Congratulations to the winners, I look forward to DDD every Sunday Thank you.
Congrats to the winner!!! I hope he gets lots of use out of it!!! Please share his before and after pictures of his driveway, if he allows it... Happy Mother's Day to your beautiful wife!!! And to your mother and mother in law also... I'm off to spend the day with my lovely daughter!!! Going to lunch, hitting the softball field to get some work in and visiting my mother and grandmother at the cemetery...
Hi Neil, I love the drone footage around your property. Your grass is amazing! Looks great, keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video! -Brian
Nice episode Neil, your Pup look’s to be really Joyful with a lot of bounce in her stride. Congratulations to the Winner he looks to be a real wonderful Family Man, I’m sure he’ll be putting it to good use. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there. 😀👍👍👍
Congrats Shawn- That was crazy you live so close- Congrats to the other winners as well. Thanks for giving your viewers the opportunity to win such an amazing prize. 🥰
Neil… great job of filling the interlude with interesting content. And, for making the give-away fun! You shouldn’t have any problem selling the tractor. They are still in demand. Especially with its history of reliable service and limited abuse. I hope all the moms in our lives know we appreciate their sacrifices and love… especially those closest to you and I!!!
Thanks Dave. Those little tractors are so handy to have. Inevitably, once I part ways with one I'll have some unforeseen need to use both on a project! Seems to always go that way! But oh well, I look forward to regaining the space. Happy Mother's Day indeed. We should probably have quarterly Mother's recognition days for the efforts that get put in around here! We're both very fortunate it sounds like. Thanks as always and have a great week!
I’ve never tried it but I’ve learned that once the dog learns to associate the flags with a zap, you can then decrease/increase the boundary simply by moving the flags around. You don’t have to move the wires at all. Not sure if that works but it does make sense.
It always feels good to clean up, organize the workspace, and sell off the excess. It's very nice of you to give away the grader box. It sounds like the guy will get good use out of it.
Great to see the grader box go to someone that can use it. I’m really going to use your tips on finding a broken dog fence wire. I’ve had to fix mine and the neighbors multiple times over the years. It’s always such a pain to track down a break. Thanks!
Great Video Neil, As always..... We had a Radio Dog Fence for My Mom's Golden which included a part of the Woods for here to do Her business. She learned real quick that if a Rabbit or Squirrel was headed in the direction of the Fence shed stop chasing it. She only blew threw it twice. She'd sit on the outside and bark to be let back in....
Ha ha ha watching a video of yourself as a tutorial on the work lol. I say keep the cab. It’s nice in the winter months, even for just scooting around…. How much does it affect the loader? Congratulations to the winner…. Great video. Learned a lot from this one!
Another fantastic video with a new twist! Great job Niel ( you too Trent!) just a suggestion but if you haven’t already done a dog fence video I for one would love to learn more about them. Happy Mother’s Day Cara and Mrs K.
Hey Mike thanks a bunch! Yeah, I've done a couple dog fence videos. I did one with tractor time with Tim quite a while back and then I also went to Pennsylvania to install a dog fence for another RU-vidr called Hometown Acres. You'd like the beginning of this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1ILWw5_9e3E.htmlsi=DIVGjVABO9wNoZSX
I’m just a housewife and typically I wouldn’t care about lawn equipment or trucks or yards, “men’s work” if you will. But every Sunday morning after church I’m watching this channel first. I just love Neil’s character and I love his family. God has blessed them richly!
I couldn’t respond yesterday because I was driving to my seasonal job at Mount Rushmore. But I enjoyed what I heard while driving ( couldn’t watch & drive- dangerous). Watched later in my hotel room. I was thinking Potpourri while watching. So many subjects covered & your editing made for a cohesive story. The only thing I wished you would of done( like when a viewer responded that you talked to much) is expand your cleaning of your shop. Overall so many topics but thoroughly enjoyable.
Congratulations Shawn, ive been expecting that same phone call all week from Mr. Neal.... And im still waiting. Anyways, im glad to see you installing some invisible fence Mr. Neal, i was installing some just yesterday and said to myself, "wouldn't it be cool if Mr. Neal post his video tomorrow and showed him installing some invisible fence, so i could have the satisfaction of watching somebody else's hard work pay off". I just thought it kinda funny i was right. Side note, Mr. Neal, if you want to put your skid loader to work, i got some stuff that you can do with it, just let me know.
So glad a Simplicity owner won the grader box! I just took my DIY articulated Allis Chalmers out for its maiden test voyage yesterday; glad to see orange having a successful weekend...
It looks like Shawn was wearing a National Tractor pullers coat. I live very near Bowling Green, Ohio and have been to the pulls at the wood county fair grounds many times
You and i have similar voices. When picking numbers, you started with OK Google.. my Google voice recognition thought it was me... asked what i needed and then chose a random number when you asked the question.
Happy Mothersday Kara , always busy with twins.. i know because i am a twin myself 😁, congratz to the winner , seems a nice dude. Thanks for showing this nice video, Greetings from Germany
Love how you’re putting trust in your daughter to operate plant machinery. I’m in the UK and to drive you have to be 17. Out of interest is rural USA different is it allowed if under age or is it so remote it just doesn’t matter? Just interested how it works?
Oh, that's interesting that he has a Simplicity. I used to service those when I was a kid, and my mom still has two. But now I don't see them around, at least in New York.
Since the new robot lawn mowers work the same way as the dog fence wire works Can the same device be used to install it? I've been looking at buying one of those and my biggest drawbacks has been getting the wire installed around the property.
Hey Neal is the frame on your 755 anywhere near the same as a 3005? I need a Yanmar 3TNV82A for my tractor. I don't need a running engine just a complete engine. I can rebuild an engine. But if I can't find an engine I may be in the market for a different tractor.
Disorganised is a production killer. Why is it that organised keeps slipping away. At work the last 15 minutes is cleanup and put things away. Sometimes we catch up may times we don't. A specific place for tools help to keep from losing.
Bonjour Neil. Sean est un heureux gagnant! Cependant au delà du matériel, cette vidéo montre que Penny est également une grande chanceuse car dans une famille aimante, mais c’est surtout vous Neil ainsi que Kara et vos filles qui nous démontrez que dans la vie les choses simples et l’amour sont les éléments essentiels d’une vie heureuse et épanouie. Bravo encore pour ce vous faites et ce que vous êtes.
Those silicon wire nuts suck. They will come loose with the freeze over the winter. I had 4 of them fail this past winter and pull apart. I have a boundary wire for a robotic mower. I ended up using solder and a rubber, heat shrinkable sleeve that makes the cut as strong as new wire.
Hmmm. That's weird. I have only used a couple hundred of these wire nuts for dog fence installs without fail but I'm sure they could have a problem somewhere. Our fence was installed 20 years ago with them too. You can't over tighten them I know cause they will break the little wites. I'm not sure how a freeze and thaw would make them come unscrewed though.
@@digdrivediy maybe the freeze just pulled the wires enough to pull them out of the nut? Either way in the spring had to redo everything wherever there was a splice. I guess maybe those nuts are just more delicate than I’d like. If it works for you it works. We’re in Michigan slightly more harsh winters I think as well. Anyways, love the channel Neil, and love your style and work ethic.
