I'm getting a new to me Kioti tomorrow. Never had a cabbed tractor before and probably won't sleep well tonight or at least have a lot of weird dreams. Like a kid on Christmas Eve.

I can’t wait to see how the cabin is going, Chris! I know you stay busy all the time but I also know how much you enjoy working around your farm too! I bet the hay field is growing by now! Yeah, it’s always nice to hear your explaining what you’re working on! Tell Robert, if the sparks aren’t flying then the teeth aren’t getting sharpened! lol 🤣😂🤣

No matter what you do,there is always some strings attached . Have a good one Chris .

Use a ziplock bag when changing filters. You will never mess up your tractor again! I just did my cat 3208s on my boat and not one drop on the engine room floor.

One of the best ideas I have ever heard.

I’ve done a lot of grinding in my life and have 2 tips for Robert: 1. hearing protection (wish I had taken this advice every time it was given) 2. Cover your watch, grinding will kill the face

Robert is a man of few words lol. He's a great guy. Maintenance is one of the key things for your success and it shows by the dependability of your equipment. Moo moo cows! I'm surprised that you don't have a manure spreader.

Get a rake harrow for your tractor to rake out the strings. Even better, cut and remove the strings when you feed the bales.

I use to flush final drives etc out with diesel before refill get all old oil out.

They've been making various machines and vehicles that use oil for over 100 years and no one has come up with filters that snap in and out easily without creating a mess.

Just a gentle reminder….. you put out a teaser several weeks ago about a 330 add-on. Patiently waiting ….tap, tap, tap 😂

It’s good to see that you have Robert helping you Chris! There’s a sanding pad that would probably work better on the Mulcher teeth, Chris and it has a special backing plate that mounts on a small grinder. I believe that we used a 40 grit pad and it really cut fast on tough metals! We did a lot of grinding on a metal called, Inconel! It’s a material that the plants what become it holds up to heat and different types of abrasive materials! Just thought I’d let you know about them! Just a probably 6” sanding pad that has a special locking nut that attaches to a small angle grinder and it’s easy to change out, I would just spin it off by hand! Probably at any hardware store too! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Taking care of equipment is number 1. Great job Chris. Happy you had a minute to spend on your own farm. Everything ready to move the cows and welcome spring. Have a good week.

LD18, Your habits regarding maintenance of your equipment is truly admirable. May God bless you and your family.

Chris, if you use wrap on those hay bales instead of string you won't have that problem in the future. The worst thing about string if you don't pick it all up when you cut it, is when your cattle eat it. If it gets in their stomachs they can die! The strap is easier to see and pick up when you're feeding. Ask some of those old farmers you do work for.

Always like when you show whats going on with the farm/ranch/homestead.

Dang. I love my hearing. I wear hearing aids now because I was careless when I was younger running a grinder as an example

Put a pint of diesel in final drives (after you get most of the old oil out ,obv) to rinse out any crude.

Nice video, Chris. Hi Robert.

Love thoses video on the farm .

That's 75% of the life of equipment Oil an grease done regularly Chris you show how you take care Of you're equipment because it takes care of you

Enjoyed ur farm update and work today! God's blessings and thank u!

A couple of things chris, if your finding your pastures not growing to well apply a granular lime to it. It will bring your ph to a 6 so your grass can grow and feed. Another thought if you have a chicken farm near by, see if he has a vacuum tank. Liquify it with a tank of water then spray it on your fields. The amount of natural nitrogen is huge and your fields will love it, but it will stink. Use it on your hay fields as well right after a cutting, the nutrition in your grass goes sky high. Great videos

Looks like you'd a chilled-out Sunday. 😆

I love the catch tray you guys are using! Going to make one in just a few minutes! I will need one tomorrow. I have been using a warming tray from a food warmer my sweet wife gave me!

Nice video Chris. Like the maintenance videos.

if you find more string, what i would do is bring an old grass rake with you and use it to "comb" up any string that might be left on the land, that's if you find more, just in case

Might have been the only chance to use those "reverse rippers" on the D7, before running the tiller? What happened to the combo bucket with the power rake?

Hello Robert😊

Warning Chris, bail twine does not break down in the cows gut. You must make sure you take out all twine because the cows will eat it and permanently fill the cows gut killing them via starvation.

Yup, not all about chemical fertilizer, but also about bacteria and microbes.

Nice work Chris 😊❤

Great video!!

have you ever tried the vacuum in the fill tube trick. the vacuum pulls air in thru the drain hole when you take out the plug. turn off the vacuum off and the oil drains out. hands stay clean.

Nice homesteading video.

If you had an old spring-tooth harrow for the 8N you could rake the strings out easily, and probably do a pretty decent job of combining it with the topsoil if the ground isn't hardpan. Might not work as well as the rototiller, but it would be a heck of a lot easier to pick strings out of. And would give you an excuse to use the old 8N. 🙂

always work to do, good to see the other stuff that has to be done,

Nice video that a make a lot difference to the soil.

Great job mixing in the cow dung, should add some much-needed nutrients into this area, look forward to seeing how the grass grows once you've seeded and had a bit of rain.

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊

Thank you and have a great day.

Good to see some farm stuff being done bro, ya moo moos look in great condition. Safe travels. Ken.

Looks good.

Look great.

He chris great content love it keep up the great work

Now you got some more good stuff to light up brush piles.

The ashes from when you burn is good for the dirt as well ya ought to think about that sure it might be dusty but it works

That tiller was interesting, can you imagine trying to get a 1/4 section done a little bit at a time, might get finished next week, maybe.

That place is cool Peace out

Love your PM ethics.

looked like some metal coming out of that final

I think this is the farmiest thing I've seen you do.

Different type of video thank you for sharing with us

I am fiddling "Swinging on a Gate" on my Violin.

Wow that final lube looked NASTY! Wonder if the factory lube has some sort of break-in additive that makes it look that way.

Job well done 👍🏻 11:30😂 11:28 love how you said how you doing 😅

Hearing protection please!

Farmed for years n learned strings left in hay or straw caused way many problems. We hung them up on nails or hooks or even 2 x 4s for tying up other things or burn in brush piles later.they burn good for brush piles.

Equipment, and our own life

I enjoy all of your videos. I know nothing about farming or ranching but am grateful for all who know how and do for people like me. You say you are picking up "strings" trying to keep them out of the equipment. What are these strings, where do they come from and how do they get mixed in with the piles of manure? I ask this with great trepidation concerning the answer of which I may not want know. Anyway great video and thanks.

@dirtfarmer7472

Ай бұрын

I’m not Chris but here goes, they use string on the round bales, then when you feed the cows you have to cut & pull the strings off cows can’t eat them, but not all get removed, ends up making a big mess. Years ago they used wire tied bales 75-80 pounds per bale had to cut & pull it off farmers would leave it in a pile outside the gate maybe 10-20 tons before they picked it up. Real mess. Hope this helps, I grew up on a farm in Oklahoma.

Good that Robert helps you. Did you blow out the air filter on the Mini?, check the A/C filter? You are lucky to have 4 legged fertilizer factories.

I really enjoy the maintenance videos. Question though, why did you get Napa filters instead of OEM filters?

Love to see the results. Would adding some ashes raise the acid level, and would it be beneficial!

good video

Those floppy sanding disks are kinda surprising how well they work .

Thanks for reminding me it's time to service my Kubota

Good idea to reuse the manure, once the strings are out the stuff should kick the grass in gear to grow! Nope, those strings are better off burning in the pile for sure! The few strings won’t stop the tiller my friend! Keep a sharp knife in case! lol 🤣😂🤣

You're lucky you can do all your own servicing, otherwise I don't imagine it would be cheap. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦

Hi Chris everyone from northwest Missouri need to net rap your hay bale s bud

Pond silt is a great soil additive...

Doing good ! I turn 'nuts' backwards until I feel a detent or hear a click - then forwards as the threads are now in the correct grove. Never a cross-thread. Thought I might mention. Need a Manure Spreader. it would help. My Uncle Art (passed many years ago now RIP) operated a dairy farm of his and 10 other children farms into a Co-Op and shared equipment between and all helped each other. It was a wonderful operation. Now sold to new farmers. The baby that was born is in business and we converse.

I thought the Napa filters came into play after you lose warranty. Surely the mini still has warranty?

They do make rock picker attachments.

Hey Chris, love your content. Just some advice, make sure you get all the strings off the hay before you feed them that haybale. Cows will eat the strings on you. If a cow eats a string, it will kill that cow on you. It will bind up their guts and intestines quick. There is not much you can do afterwards, even the vets can't save that cow. I would hate to see you lose a cow, because of a mistake you could have prevented.

I have a cat that ate dental floss. Got it wrapped around her tongue and the rest of it formed adhesions all down the intestines. Surgery on a cat. $300 to remove the floss. Do you know how many kittens I could have bought for $300. Got to watch those strings

No warmup before draining oil? Sure flows faster when it is warmed up

You can tell how old a farm is by the amount of binder twine on the fence posts.

Put some dry out wood ash on that an it will grown good thats going be some great soil before long
