December has been weird this year. Record warmth, freezing mornings, and plenty of farm projects to keep us busy.

In today’s video, we:
Take delivery of a new-to-us 2025 John Deere swather
Work through cold-weather tractor maintenance
Deal with a shattered John Deere plastic hood
Install a heavy-duty fiberglass replacement hood
Prep tractors for a Christmas parade 🎄
Show real-world farm fixes, breakdowns, and upgrades

John Deere plastic hoods have been a problem for years, especially on the 30-series tractors. Ours finally gave up, so we replaced it with a fiberglass hood from Diversified Hoods—stronger, better built, and cheaper than OEM.

If you like real farming, real fixes, and honest equipment talk, you’re in the right place.
