Maybe Plan D Will Work? Cab Back On Tractor

Spring is in the Air! New baby chicks and Spring flowers are have appeared.
Today the guys are putting the cab back on the Agco Challenger tractor.
It takes some planning and changing of plans to get everything to line up.
Thanks for watching!

It’s nice to see Makenzie coming over to the family farm visiting you guys. Finally the cab is back on the Challenger. When you start getting your gardens ready for the season, I’ll send your videos to my daughter to give her ideas for gardening. She’s what’s to try making caning this year “homestead”. Excuse my English it’s not very good. See you guys in the next video. 😊

    You guys should drill holes in the ends of your forks back away from the edge and center on your forks as stopping pins so you can hook things without falling off the end. A couple of bolts and washer or two and you have some nice removable stops on your forklift forks.

    Hi Ronda, Great video. I have Daffodils Blooming too, but we're not done with winter just yet. There's at least one or two more rounds of cold and snow heading our way. Thank you for the time you spend and the interests you share it's always good to see what's going on around the farm. I'm glad the guys are getting the Challenger back together. Way too often a farm tractor has a way of sitting a little too long and interest in it gets lost. It gives birth the the term "barn find" if you know what I mean. OK, FB, Thanks again and we'll watch for the next video. ben/ michigan

    i took a picture of the first daffodil bloom on March 4th. i think i had one bloom open on one on the south side of the house before we had snow on the 27th of February. that didn't stay and was gone that afternoon. I'm glad the cab is set back on without any damage. Sydney knows not to offer any wise words just before a dangerous situation. in military basic training, they just start in the back and go up over the top in about six passes and leave you with hair short enough that your tee shirt catches on the stubble. done in about a minute. one of the guys was bald except nine hairs and he got charged full price. they only cut his once but the rest of us got two more in the six weeks.

    For cheap safety sake switch from the heat lamp to a brooder heat plate. We did because of fire danger. A side effect ,the chicks were much more calm in nature with brooder heat plate.We did 6 batches of 50+ birds last year. We will not use a heat lamp anymore.
