Hi Eric, I have the same planter, the lift cylinders get out of stroke sometimes, all you need to do is lower the planter to the ground and continue holding the lever for 10 seconds, then it should stop doing that😊

This man single handedly inspired me to start working on my family farm again love the content.

Check your hydraulic cylinders on your planter. It might be leaking as a reason why it’s drooping down on one side. Great video as always.

Great job Eric. Love watching. Congratulations on your sisters marriage. Fun times for the family.

Wow that was a lot of work Eric! I bet you are loving the new house 😊

Good job Eric, good to see your Dad too.

Congrats to your sister and on being in the new house.

Congratulations to your sister for getting married and congratulations on your new house and have a wonderful week & Take care.

8:50 It always warms my heart to see that the gals enjoy the show as much as we do.

You know Eric, it's been quite awhile since I've seen you pluck a can of Mountain Dew out of a corn planter or a silo 😛. Congrats to your sister and your new brother in-law on their wedding. May they have many happy years together. 🔔🎀 🔔

This was a great video I've been watching you now for about a year I don't know what your dad to do without you You guys be safe keep making great videos Thanks again.

I remember you grooving the floors like it was yesterday. Truely insane how quick time fly's by.

I love your videos your work and your dedication of your work how you work with no laziness i am also farmer and you inspire me to do my work daily

Is your farm big?

It’s always fun to see how happy the cows are to be on fresh straw and saw dust!

Young man you have your priorities absolutely right. Family first

Great video Eric. So glad your sister got married and that you moved into your home. You're a great fater husband and son. Im sure your mom and dad are very proud of you. Great channel.Thank you very much

I planted thousands of acres with a planter just like yours over the years that I was working for a local farmer. We had a 4 row planter on our farm before we had to sell all our dairy cows. We lease our farm to a neighbor now. It would take us a week to plant what he can plant in just a few hours with the planter he uses today.

You have such incredible work ethic! I'm constantly amazed seeing you get up at the crack of dawn and work all the way into the night

💪🌾🐄 That's truly inspiring! It's incredible how one person's dedication and passion can reignite the love for family farming. Your story reminds us of the importance of preserving our agricultural heritage. Keep up the great work and enjoy the journey of tending to your farm. Your commitment is commendable! 💪🌾🐄

Love your videos. I cant believe the amount of skill/knowledge you and your dad have. You are both great problem solvers, which is a really beneficial skill to have! It seems you and your dad know how to fix pretty much anything! Looking forward to future videos. God bess. 🙏

As with other comments, love watching the heifers kick up their heels when you move them back on new cornstalk bedding. Those grooves are definitely a big improvement, I think you'll be happy with the outcome. The silage looks good, those guys really get in a get it done. Sure is a lot of things to stay on top of, you and your dad are hard workers, keeping it all going. Good one Eric, thanks for sharing and I hope you all have a nice rest of week.

if you want to know if its the tractor or the planter having the leaning issue pump the planter up and then disconnect the hydraulic lines if it stays up its the tractor if it falls down its the planter.

My planter does it too it has to do with those cylinders I'm going to start rebuilding mine one by one as I have time but the book tells me it will happen every now and then and I need to lift it all the way up every so often

Blessings to you and your family. Those custom harvest guys are a real blessing to Farmers. 👍💯👍

Thanks for the video Eric! Nice views of all the farming activities going on at the same time. Best wishes and blessings for your new crops, your new home, and your sister and brother-in-law's new life together.

0:08 that was 3 years ago!?!? Holy crap I've been watching for a long time Congrats to your sister and hope the house move in has gone well!

The groving looks great. Hope it last a bit longer. Congratulations to your sister. Gotta see the pictures.

Family and farm come first. Make time for your family the grow up so fast. I love the videos they are a highlight of my day. Take care and God bless.

Planter hydraulic issue is most likely weakness in plante cylinder, or cylinders. Suggest having them rebuilt with new internal seals. You have internal fluid leak by. Not necessarily visible external leakage. Good hydraulic shop can do this, reasonably. Cheaper than new cylinders.

Groovy!

Was it three years ago? Wow, how time flies. I remember that and I'd been watching for about a year already when that one happened. I must be enjoying the channel but it doesn't seem that long.

The floor grooving video was the first one I watched. Been watching ever since!

Congratulations to your sister. I'm sure it feels good to have the corn in the ground.

Def in the planter. Constant pressure coming from the tractor when you pump it raise it up. So the fluid goes out at so many gpm and finds a empty place in the line or cylinder to fill in….hence the one side raising back up. Disc bine of mine was doing the same then. The cylinders had breather ports on them so it was leaking out of those breathers on a bad cylinder that I needed to have repacked. Planters prob don’t have breather ports on them so you may not be leaking but it’s def a planter cylinder issue Hope it helps boss man

If you wash your manure spreader it will help prevent it rusting out from the nitrogen in the manure

Those grooves are much better we had the ones u had at first 2-3 years they were shot. The mini grooves are 3 years old now and they are as good as day one I love them.

Yes, Eric always does a good job on this farm.

I always learn something new from you. This time it was re-grooving the floors. Not something I would ever have thought about!

I love all the Experiments that you guys are doing👌

Wow, what a lot of work! Going in more than one direction in the same day. Economy of effort. Thank you for sharing.🐄

You are a busy guy. Great content. Fantastic operation. A credit to modern farming.

Congratulations!! Erbody 😊

Looking forward to seeing the rows of corn growing again. The grooving is a great idea and it is amazing how you work hard to keep your cows safe and comfortable. It is interesting how you experiment with different types of corn and fertilizer. I have to say you are one busy young man Eric. Great video and thanks till the next one.

Eric, it's beautiful country up there! Those grooves look like they'll definitely do the job.

When i started watching your channel i knew nothing of dairy farming but i have learned so much from your channel. Thanks for the content and hard work you and your whole family does for all of us ✊

If it's an internal leak on a cylinder piston rod , have someone put their hand on the cylinder and then select full up and hold. The cylinder will heat up rather quickly as the fluid bypasses the push rod seals. It will get hot fast, very hot Had this happen on a case 580. Hyd Technician showed me this trick.

Great video. Got lots done

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!

Our 4240 was sounding identical to yours it was an injector issue. Once we replaced all of them, it runs perfectly again.

Thanks for taking time to do these videos, Eric when you are having a busy spring. Did I miss something? I thought we would get to see inside your new home when it was all finished. Now that you are moved in, is it too late to show us??

​@10th Generation Dairyman do not show the inside of your home! That's your privacy and there are alot of weirdos out here! Please don't show it! Protect your privacy and your family's privacy at all cost!

It's leaseback through your valve block distribution on the planter. If your cylinders have counterbalance valves it's likely the pilot circuit is stuck or there's a failed po check on the return side.

Great lighting for the in the silo shots!

I remember the concrete groving in the barn. I didnt thought that was already 3 years ago! Time is running.

Thank you for posting! You’re awesome!

Great video

Another very interesting video Thank you

Hey bud raise the planter up and unhook both hyd hoses if the planter does not drop the problem is in your tractor valve. If it does drop it is one of the hyd cyl. Let it set over night.

I love how excited they get over the new bedding.

You might help them out by explaining that the dust is quite dangerous to breath.

Your follower from Iraq 🇮🇶🇺🇸

Some folk are still watching. Great very informative and interesting videos fella

Lol. If you ever get your name on a brand of jeans, it won't be SLACKERS. Best of luck with your new build.😄

Spreader works good as a bedding chopper 😊. Surprised you had to re-groove so soon. We used to scrap up the barnyard twice a day with a metal bucket and that would wear on the concrete but you don’t have that issue. Once we switched to a rubber tire scrapper the grooves lasted longer.

Family, farm, then videos. Priority is key. Thanks for sharing your operation 👍👍✌️

You're doing great Eric, your priorities are right, family comes first!

Hi Eric and dad just finished watching video beautiful planting awesome landscape and as always you and your families be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Nice video! Keep up the good work! 😊

So heres something ill point out from a turf management perspective with 20 plus years experience, if you till at only a certain depth over and over that will begine to create a layer where roots have a harder time growing deeper than that layer, when we have layering in a soil on the golf course we deep tine aerate and spike aerate, these typically go 8 to 12 inches deep but also relieve tons of compaction and break that layer up, vertidrain whiich is deep tine aeration acts like a pitch fork motion breaking the ground deep into the soil really helping with that compaction. Layering can lead to black layer so its something you want avoid and take care of, a soil profile probe would be best way to analyze whats on in the soil

Write larger for your notes, I've learned that it helps tremendously.

Love the videos ❤ keep it on

You can’t beat cast iron closing wheels. The angle of the wheels cutting/closing edge caves the seed trench wall laterally against the seed trench. And they’ll penetrate hard soils. I used them in no-till and following a field cultivator both.

I’ve been anticipating the return of the 4240 to field work, love it!

great video thanks for posting it

Thanks so much young man!! Busy times make good memories!!

Wow, busy!!! We appreciate the videos when they come out, but your family and being present for them is way higher priority, no worries if a video doesn't come out super often! I wondered what those arms were for but was always too bashful to ask. Now I know, thanks for teaching me something new today!

Great job!

Raise it up and disconnect the hoses that raise/lower it. If it stays level, you know the issue is with the tractor. If it sinks on one side, you have an issue with the sprayer. That will at least give you some data to work with

Thank you for another great video.

That shot of you climbing up the silo chute made me itch. I always had an old hooded sweat shirt hanging by the bottom. Might have gotten a little warm, but at least I didn't have all that dust going down the back of my neck.

I would suggest that the cylinder on the side that’s going down has an internal leak or something so seals on inside are leaking past

Sounds like the 4240 needs the injectors checked. If they’re all ok then the injector pump could be the problem

You are doing a great job

Awesome content!!!!!

Can't wait to see your house, love your channel !!!

For the planter lowering, if it's only one side that seems werid, but there are a cuple of options depending how it's hooked up. If there are no valves between the cilanders or the tractor the only option is that the main seal in those cylanders is bad, now the chance of 2 of them going bad at the same time is very low but could happen, something could have gotten into the systam to reck them. this is assuming they are duble acting clyander which now that i think about it they probably are not. If there are flow regulatos, one of them might be bad? but this is mostly a shot in the dark i am not sure how that would work but checking them can't hurt. If you have like a power beyond system for the planter it could be the valve for that side? but thats also probably not the way they do it. all in all it has to be with something on that side, i would guess the clyanders but i could defently be wrong, if you wanna chat about it and give some more info i am up for it.

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since that video holy

All good!

I have always been amazed at the amount of preventative maintenance that you do on your farm. I really hope you haven't been racking up debt though

you spend a lot of time working on that planter!! lol might be time to upgrade when ya can...lol
