Its the X model 465 barge wagon
When you finish everything around the barn any chance you will be painting it? Really enjoying your videos.
The way Rebekah cooks. I am surprised you don't weigh 300 pounds!! 😂
JudithB I have had 2 freezers quit and its a major pain!! I can as much as possible. I would have mixed the fruits together and canned them in quarts to make jelly some other time. My days often go like that, what I want to get done ends up being something else getting done!!!! they say variety is the spice of life, and farmers and homesteaders get lots of spice!!! LOL!!!!
Actually you have a dump wagon and 2 loader tractors
I hope you added oil to the tractor. Don’t want transmission problems with all that oil you lost.
The YouTube channel VWFamilyfarm just recently showed where they used a really nice phone app that informs you if the temp of your freezer goes above freezing. Look into it, think it will solve your problem with the uncertainty of not knowing if it’s working or not….
OH NO!!! Freezer out. My heart goes out to you. My fridge/freezer went out 3 mo. ago so I know what you're feeling. My loss was not near what yours' is, though. Again, I'm feeling right along with you.😞😢😭 I just checked on AMAZON for you and they have oodles of freezer alarms, even wi-fi to your phones and more. (wow, huh? Who knew?)
Great job !!!¡¡¡¡
good day least the animals made out and the freezer is still working not all is bad
We use a MOCREO WiFi thermo for our deep freezer since it’s out in the garage. You can set up app alerts for temperature ranges and the receiver box also alarms too
Look into cold storage temp alarms to avoid future losses.
Now you will have sweet bacon
I sent you an email with a couple suggestions for your freezer situation, I hope they solve your problem they solved mine.
Evan, Tractors used to have differential locks to help with turning the machine quicker even than split brakes. Don't you have that on your tractors?
I thought that you were building yourself a vantage point to survey your land from one place without moving. I hope you can do that now. Don't worry about that fruit you're going to eat it at a later time when the pigs are in your freezers.
Same thing happened to my freezer. I’m buying an alarm to notify me on phone
hurricane milton took out our electric for 3 and a half days so we lost everything in fridge and freezer .
Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca, had that happen lately ourselves. Really frustrating too. Glad you have a freeze dryer on the way. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Great video as always mate many thanks again and all the best to you and your family and your friends
Great video, sorry about the freezer. But the pigs eat the unfrozen berries, and then you can eat the pigs!
Why don’t you use both tractors? One for hauling and one for scooping dirt. Probably could save some time
You can refreeze fruit with no spoilage
That is a BEAUTIFUL LOAF OF HOMEMADE BREAD! 🧐😊

I've had the same experience. I always double check my Freezer Door
They do have freezer alarms, my buddy had freezers in his side garage n he hooked a red flashing light to it, n you could see it from anywhere n that save him once that remember but can’t remember what type or brand it was !! Good luck with your issues !!
