We’re excited to bring you something a bit different today. Our latest podcast episode is not just a bunch of talk; it’s a hands-on, in-the-field experience, literally! We’ve decided to take our podcast for back roads homestead out of the studio and into the great outdoors.
This episode is all about the real homesteading experience. We’re not just sitting behind microphones; we’re out here getting our hands dirty. With our new recordable microphone, we’re able to share our journey with you, all while tending to our daily chores. It’s multitasking at its finest!
Whether we’re feeding the chickens, tending to the vegetable garden, or fixing up the barn, you’re right there with us. It’s real, it’s raw, and it’s unfiltered. The sounds of nature, the clucking of hens, and even the occasional moo from the pasture – it’s all part of the experience.
So, tie up those boot laces, grab your hat, and join us as we embark on our homesteading tasks. It’s a beautiful day in the backroads, and we wouldn’t want you to miss a moment of it!
Remember, every little bit of support helps us keep this podcast running. By tuning in, you’re not just a listener; you’re part of the back roads homestead family.
Until next time, keep homesteading and keep listening!
So, we found ourselves back at the dealership because our New Holland decided to throw a bit of a tantrum. This time around, the hydraulics were acting up. It’s almost like it was put together on a Friday, if you know what I mean! We were in the midst of laying down some waterline when the tractor, used by our pal Jason, started misbehaving, leaking fluid from the top of the cylinder. Turns out, it was leaking right at the weld seam!
You might remember, this isn’t our first rodeo with the tractor’s quirks. Last time, we grappled with a pesky distribution block, and to this day, our front bucket has a mind of its own, tilting forward even when we’re just idling. But hey, that’s life on a homestead for you!
Despite these hiccups, the importance of a solid warranty can’t be overstated. We invested quite a bit into our sub-compact New Holland, the perfect fit for our 5-acre operation. And guess what? That investment is paying off. New Holland’s warranty is nothing to scoff at, and the local dealership here in the Ozarks has been fantastic – quick and reliable in getting us back on track.
So, what’s the moral of the story? Stuff happens, especially with farm equipment. The more you use it, the more you’ve got to be ready for those unexpected twists. Having a good stock of spare parts and a bit of know-how can make all the difference for a thriving homestead.
