💥 Those hillsides are crazy steep! You got it nice and cleaned up. Fun to watch. Happy turkey day 🦃
*Keep on tractoring!*

As I watched this video (road looks good by the way) it brings a peace to me, that may sound crazy but just being out in the woods and looking at or working in what God has blessed us with is peaceful, you are a blessed man and I appreciate your humbleness

Good video Ben. People don't realize what it takes to maintain a piece of land. That always gripes me when the city folk come up and buy a farm around us that's been productive for years and then just neglect it and let it grow up. I know a man can do what he wants with his land but seems like the pride of ownership has fleeted and all folks see are dollar signs hoping that a shopping center or subdivision developer will seek them out to purchase their property. I remember as a young man land around where I live in Southern Middle Tennessee was $50 to $250 an acre. I bought my first farm and paid $700 per acre. Now it's going for $20, 000 per acre. I never have been able to make that cash flow even on paper raising corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, or cattle. Anyway y'all have a happy Thanksgiving and waiting to see your next video.

I almost thought I could smell sassafras. Love the lay of the land I don't see a lot of that in Oklahoma. Be safe and keep the videos coming. 👍👍

I’ve owned 4 of the JD 5 series tractors. Two 5103’s and two 5055e’s. First 3 were 2wd and my current is a MFWD with the power reverser. Absolutely love my current one, but all were awesome. Great tractors.

Great job! Proud you are a good driver I thought that the camera was a goner hope you and your family have a blessed Thanksgiving

nice job on the rear blade leaf cleanup

Yessir Ben the air pressure makes big difference in traction!! Depending on what I've got attached on the back I run around 20lbs of air in my Ford 3000

Hey Ben, You have some steep hills there. That kind of work requires an experienced driver. That's a lot of leaves. You need a blade with a hydraulic angle system so you wouldn't have to leave the sit. But those are not likely cheap to buy. Take care buddy.

Seems like a perfect time to clean up the road. Every pass I'd edge into the hillside and try making it wider little by little.. Pretty narrow and dangerous.. Careful

[paulwallace]

Got old log road on my property that looks similar. Got to stay on top of them.

[deanmoore]

Hi buddy excellent job with your tracker. You look like you’re enjoying it. That’s so awesome. I wish I had a way to send you some pictures of my tractor but I enjoy the videos. They are so great. I love that green machine alone. 👍

[joeyrector]

That John Deere is doing really good isn't it. Except for the traction. But it's getting the job done

[finniganshomestead]

That Deere is doing good for you by the look of things. I would like to cut a trail like that into one of my hill sides but don't know how to het start with what I have here

[matthewturowski]

That is a really narrow trail, one that you have to be extra careful on because isn't much room for any mistakes. Being wet underneath doesn't help either.
