Just a few acres signing off ☹️

[Farmallh194012345]

I’ve been watching Pete for a long time and learned a lot, I understand his reasoning but this is kinda sad for me, has anyone seen his videos?

[MacAR]

I've watched Pete and Hillary for several years now... I'm happy for them, but my Sunday mornings will never be the same. He had a lot of good stuff on his channel, and a lot of good IH tractor footage. I'm very sad to see them go. 

[TroyDairy]

Never heard of them frankly.

[ny bill o]

I have known them for a while. They live a little over an hour away. Good people and real people. Just saw him and his son at the Farm Bureau auction ten days ago. The Farmall connection was extra special.

I found his channel while restoring my SMD.  It is my favorite thing to watch on tv and will really miss it. 

[EquipmentJunkie]

I had the privilege of meeting Pete while roaming the grounds at the Half Century of Progress show last year. He seems as genuine in person as you see on screen. I will definitely miss his content. Prime example was his excellent restoration job on his 856 Custom.

I saw that they were signing off....... sad

I hope they will be at RPRU 2027

Pete is a member here also.  He has stated that several times.  I don't know that his username is very public though. 

I will miss his content, but I understand that he needs to do what is best for him and his family.  I wonder if long term farm succession planning had something to do with their latest change in direction?  

 

[U-C]

always enjoyed his videos, I think he did mention that they might make now and again a update video! 

maybe someone made a nasty comment on his second last video cause he turned the comments off for that one, I seen that happen before to a Rancher from Alberta Canada, I just hope its not that

I wish Pete and his family all the best

I don't know this for a fact, but I can't help to think he's realized that he's getting on in years and there are things he wants to do before he can't. Most likely, those things don't involve farming or you-tube... he's doing what he wants and that's exactly what a man should do.

Going to miss His video's as well. Best of luck to Him and the Family.

[MT Matt]

The best to him and his wife. He has made comments in his videos about what ridiculous things people say in the comments section.  Seemed to weigh on him from what I could see. Things nobody would have the gall to say to a persons face I’m sure. Probably wore down with that part of video making. All of the farmers I follow say about the same thing. 

Good for him, do what you like. 

[FARMALL FIXER]

I believe he is Pete on the forum if I remember correctly

[Lars (midessa)]

Have watched his videos from time to time, very informative, and entertaining, very calm demeanor. His videos will be missed.

He said he’s 57, that’s young…..

Oh absolutely! I guess what I meant by that was he's still in good enough health and has enough energy and desire to want to go places and do things, and is now in a good position to do them. Someone my age (35) really can't unless they have a good job and very little debt, while someone quite a bit older might have the money but not the health or desire to. He's in that sweet spot where circumstances allow everything to come together so he can. 

[806Jordy]

I really enjoyed his restoration videos, he goes deep into the details and gives good explanations on how things work. He will be missed...

[KWRB]

I've met him. As kind a man you could ever ask to meet. 

Pete, you've helped me do things I didn't know how to do, that my dad certainly knew how to do, but he died too young to teach me. You have know idea what that means to me.

Please leave all the videos up!

i was surprised by that, left architecture job to farm full time, now shifting gears again.   he seemed like a good dude,  i’m envious of his freedom to pivot for sure!!

[1256pickett]

I enjoyed his videos. Put a very positive note on agriculture for the public to see. Sad to see him go but wish him the best whatever the future holds. 

[Brady Boy]

😞 Sad day, glad I was able to chat with them last summer, at Red Power.  BK

[Rick G.]

I thoroughly enjoyed his content. He will be missed by many on YouTube. Yes, he did say he may post updates from time to time. Wishing him well. 

[bitty]

He has some great content on YouTube. I talked to him at the 2024 show in Bloomsburg. I was lucky enough to get him to ride the barrel train even.
