WE GOT REALLY STUCK! - Chopping, Clearing and 100 Trees to plant! 

Haha love that you blamed Jo. You did a great job in getting the tractor out. I’m sure anyone would have got stuck in that mud. Your family are adorable and love the fact that they are rolling up their sleeves and getting stuck in. Everyone seems to be loving it which is great to see.🚜🚜🚜🚜

"Is that your tree planting skirt, then?" (said to child wearing Tutu), "Yes." Precious. Love it.

Put mine in a ditch yesterday, with the new mower on the back - had to climb out of the 45 degree cab :) Through some miracle of clever driving and front loader manipulation I managed to drive it out but only after being shouted at by my dad, who at 88 still seems to think he knows it all :D

Love your daughters reaction to your "you need to get better at selling the eggs" comment! Priceless. Take care.

I love all the memories you're making with the girls. Absolutely priceless. And you got the tractor out without further help. That's a 💯% win right there 💪

You did well to get tractor out... No one's fault really it's just a lesson learnt don't work your soddern ground till summer time when/if it's dried out and pretty sure you'll have rubble for the ford ramp's after building projects great video really nice to see family getting stuck in

I’m loving watching your adventures and wasn’t shouting at the screen. A little bit of me felt sorry for Jo getting stuck, a bit of me sympathised with you getting it out as I have had to get a car out of mud twice over the years. I was thinking, a winch would be handy. Good luck with the pigs and keep up the great work. Loving it.

Your all doing fine , I just enjoy your company and feel privileged to be a spectator in your journey to being part of the rural life . You are building a live for family and for future generations , which when you think about it is no mean achievement by anyones stands . Best wishes and kind regards as always . 😀👍👍👍

I keep saying this but this so takes me back to my childhood. Even the part about getting the tractor stuck, except it was my brother not my mom. We had to get the next farm tractor to pull it out. Again good luck with your endeavours. Love the kids helping out around the farm.

Hi I am a new subribber, really enjoy the content of the channel and looking forward to future content.

Regular viewer here, from Japan, but not so many comments from me. Really enjoyed this episode. Enjoyed the tractor struggle (many of us have been through that!) No backseat driving from me, just enjoyed it. And the pig commentary too! 😀

I was rooting for you, mate! Well done for getting it out.

Love how Jo was desperate to do tractoring but then ‘had to go’ when the tractor got stuck 😂👍😂👍

Loving the child labour ! You guys look so happy as a family in your new home. Congrats !

It's lovely to see you all working together, great job getting the tractor out, need agriculture tyres. 👍

Just brilliant, love to see the kids helping. Our little girl loves our allotment

you're a brave man, Tim.... 😂 And Jo, don't let him get away with it 🤣

They say you haven’t really used your 4WD until you’ve been bogged to the axles. Love your work 👍

Well done for getting the tractor out Tim. She was in pretty good!!

well and truly stuck but its part of farming, should have tried the dumper to pull it out it would have got over the stream 👍

Quite a challenge and you all won through. It's all learning and fun 🤩

Hi Tim and family 👋 just us2 saying hi and thanks for sharing this video update 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

"We got it stuck" very diplomatic 😆 I'd have been tempted to just go charging through the Brook in the volvo and try to tow it out with that. Then you'd have the fun of digging out 2 of them 😃

Well done … it’s all a learning curve. Enjoying the videos 👍

Really enjoyed that and keep up the good work. 👍😊

Perfect timing as always 👌

Okay, this has become my favourite youtube channel. You are living the life I have always dreamt of. What a beautifully harmonious fantastic family! Do you realize that your children are never going to want to leave home when they are older Tim? 😂

'I like potatoes ' made me laugh 😃. But we'll done rescuing the tractor and still loving you videos 😊

Très belle vidéo Très beau tracteur et très bien équipé Doit être très agréable à conduire et travailler avec J'adore 👍😀❤️

Such beautiful children. Beautiful family. Bless them in the name of Jesus. What is the name of the tractor?

hi i have been following you for years know like always a top video i know how that feels iv'e done it a few times it can get quite frustrating but good satisfaction getting the machine out. all the best ivan

Proper ag tires would make a big difference over those industrial style tire. Particularly if can run lower pressures. The other thing to note though often times you have no choice is that tractor tires have a good bit more traction when the you are going forwards, they are designed this way for pulling and plowing purposes. You sometimes see machines with the tires reverses so that the treads look wrong but are done deliberately so as to help when reversing out of situations like this.

its all new to you pal ' every day's a learning day on a farm👍

Always funny to see someone else get stuck. Where's the fun if you don't get it stuck once in a while? You did well to get her out though. Good entertainment 👌

❤️❤️❤️ 🚜 🌲 🐖 and everything else! I was holding my breath when you were back at the creek..it would of been 1-1 …but whose keeping score …I love that jo tried to get out laughed and moved on to other duties! 🤗🥰🙋🏻‍♀️🇬🇧💕jane

Thank you for your really useful content, this has come at a a time when we have been renovating a cottage too. One question please what acreage of land are you using the solis on please, we have 8 acres and wondering if it should be the 26 or the 50. Many thanks.

This is like a high budget Maximus Ironthumper channel now :-)

Loving part of your family adventure making wonderful memories and adventures for the girls..the pigs would love all that mud. Have you thought of using concrete fence posts on the slopes to aid traction ? Or a few tonnes of hard core.keep up the great work..

I am so enjoying watching you and your families new life the girls seem to be getting to be natural country girls and Joe is becoming a natural tractor hand.Thank you for sharing your wonderful new life.

It is a very brave man who blames the better half 🤣

High Lift jack is handy in that sort of situation since it doubled as a winch. PITA doing it two feet at a time but it gets there eventually. Also looks like you are going to have many happy hours getting all that old barbed wire out…

Who gets to clean the tractor after all that fun 😎👍✅✅✅✅

Great work…. !!

Just saw your video on making sloe gin and wanted to see how you’re currently making out. I’m really enjoying your humble content and look forward to checking out more.

I would imagine these last few days in particular you are finding your bed a welcome break. Regarding your eggs you could try an honesty box at the end of your lane with letting people fill their own containers.

In the immortal words of one Robert Shaw. "You're gonna need a bigger"......

I assume you still have the 4wd dumper. Could be a better solution for towing/dragging out of mud in future. I enjoy your family's adventures - thanks for sharing them.. Best wishes. M

Pickled eggs Tim.. pickled eggs.!

When it comes to the piggies. Give them loads of straw so they can root in it and they'll bury themselves in it. Some old mooring bouys would be useful for them to occupy themselves with. The trouble is they get food on a plate so they are redirecting their foraging behaviour into fighting. Basically they are bored. In nature they'd be foraging or sleeping. Less time and energy for fighting. Cows love a scratching brush. Maybe you could bolt some tough broom heads to the wall, I bet the pigs would love it too. As for the tractor. You got it out so that worked. Only thought I had was many more boards layed across the wheel tracks rather than along it.

Great video …as they all are .

Couldnt you use the deadwood as slats in the ground to help with the tackier?

You done well 👍🏻

cheers....👍

The mower on the rears not doing you any favours here tim. You’ll find if it runs aground you’ll loose traction on the rear. Also running a lower psi in the tyres would help somewhat too 👍

Good girl Jo, a proper farm girl gets her tractor stuck at least once. Carry on.

Gorgeous, I like potatoes! So funny.

I'm loving these videos - especially the ones involving the tractor. We're in the throws of moving to the country but with a much smaller plot. I'm in need of something to keep the meadow under control and to maintain the small bit of woodland so that we can feed the log burners in the house. You've certainly shown the grab to be pretty useful! While we wait to exchange contracts (taking forever!) I've been round and round in circles looking at new, old, refurbished, decrepit, you name it, and I keep coming back toward the Solis 26. It looks like it's doing a good job for you. If I can get past the financial outlay (man maths may be required here), it looks like a good candidate. Are you pleased with it?

Well done in getting it out. I wonder if anyone has developed individual track units you could put on in boggy conditions, you can get them for atv’s?

Deffo need a back up Hi-Lux with your smaller tractor. You can Snatch it out if you get bogged

Nobody: Rosa: I like potatoes!

You should keep those boards, but 'fix' some Expmet to the faces for Super-Grip 🙂

If this is the kind of tree work you will be doing, then you need the safety cage extended over the seat front. Fun though!

Where’s a Rhino when you need one!! Great episodes 👍

So.... it's driving lessons for Jo in the next episode!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

No shouts from here but as you said a winch would have helped. Now here is a case for the bigger tractor as the big one with more weight would have held the ground a bit better and also it would have a bigger footprint. Thanks for posting

I like potatoes! Lol

I like potatoes too Rosa.

A winch would be a good idea for tractor

When mixing pigs from different pens slosh them with a mixture of detol (1 tea spoon to a gallon of water) .

I would fit spike guards to the front bucket when the spikes are not required to be used, accidents happen, best to mitigate for the worst outcome.

"Well, you have to make an egg box" shoves hands in pockets. Brilliant.

Stick some chain links on the boards give the tires something to bite into

get on making that egg box!

WE learn by our mistakes . . . no mistakes, not trying enough new things

It's not Jo's fault.... until you get it bogged, and then you can say "but you did it first" 🤣 I always like it when my wife puts the first scratch on something new, that's my get out of jail free card

Winch needed!

Defender pick up next on the list or a van 😂

I guess washing the vehicle for pocket money might not work? Loved the episode

Pigs do like 'singing' for their supper.

I do believe that your new tractor deserves a proper power wash

Haha there is the disadvantage to industrial tires! They don’t shed the mud like agricultural ones, thats the only real difference on mud. Once you get slick tires you’re stuck… that said industrial tires where definitely the right choice, i wouldn’t imagine this should happen too often. Our kubota is on Industrials and pulled the shoot trailer all through the muddy season without getting stuck. Great video though, i always love to see the progress! Also i noticed on the flail that you have the top link on the solid hole, when if you have it on the slit it will ‘hug’ the ground a but more, and wont leave any marks. Also are you going to LAMMA?

Id be changing them tyres

All that willow, lots of cricket bats there

One of the positives of this adventure is that it must have been very satisfying to clean the tractor 😁

Get yourself some maxtrax or waffle boards for next time you get bogged. Will make getting it out a lot easier. That or take the timber and score the top with a saw to give the tyres something to bite on

Please tell me you didn’t mix the two stroke & petrol in the saw like it looked you did?

Would Humpty Dumpty have been useful as a tow (maybe sideways) vehicle?

I have to say it, I can't not say it! Should have got a Massy 550 or similar. Would have been perfect for your use case and more capable and probably cheaper (and it has a cab)

You really need to get a decent Hilux :)

If it was me on the Tractor, I think I would have got the tractor stuck as well

Should have got proper tires too Tim

Bigger tractor and agricultural tyres needed I think.

Need a motorised land anchor, me thinks.

Battens screwed to your wood 90 degrees to the edge under the wheels? somebody has probably already suggested it but well done

hurrah for tatoes!

It would be better with agricultural tyres on it.

Just planted a Silver Birch copse - nothing as satisfying as tree planting...

Do you regret your tyre choice yet? 😂

I think the only thing that I was shouting at the screen is that you need to get a winch.

Love your videos, new to the channel but slowly getting caught up. Your chainsaw techniques & ppe need a bit more research. You don't want to find out the hard way what damage they do to skin/muscle etc. I'd reccomend a basic course.
