Oh Deere.
Warren doesn't like re manned engines.
I wonder how long the video will stay up when the mothership see it?
This tractor seems to have been junk since day one.
‘There’s that piece of sh!t sat in the road’

I can’t imagine how pee'd off he must be, really crap that not to mention the tractors owner too.

Rob, why were you swathing the straw on the headland but chopping in field? Also do you change to wider tires on your massey for spraying in the autumn and spring?
We swathed all the field, the spreading you see is the chaff spreader.
We do have a set of row crops however, they are a PITA to fit so I haven’t bothered the last couple of years, the normal tyres don’t seem to cause too much crop damage

I saw last night that Chets wife has died.


I saw too, and strangely found myself quite sad, which is weird when all I know of these people are a few youtube videos. I guess you get into it all.

A 25 year old dying of a disease like that is sad in any case though. From their social medias over the last few days it looks as though there are plenty of people rallying round and being there for them. In fact I believe the funeral is later today, being livestreamed on youtube

How many Americans do you know..?
Mum was the same way thought all Americans were all loud and obnoxious then first met an African-American friend of a friend whom she thought was really nice and then had a friend of my sister stay which led her to the realisation that much like here you generally have nice pleasant people but often the only ones you hear or see in the news are the loud obnoxious self absorbed ones.

They are definetely the best team to watch, all of them are pretty good in front of the camera but as you say understandable if they don't continue.

It is nice that YouTube community over there has taken the time and effort to travel and be there for them hopefully given how close the family appears to be as well as their friends Chet will have a lot of support.
