    Barred Rocks are a good farm chicken; this year I raised Buckeyes (Ohio Buckeye) I learned about them on a channel that featured chicken breeds in a county fair setting. They have small combs (pea-comb) that decreases chance of frostbite and they are very free-range motivated including mousing. I live in NE Arizona so winters are about 10 degrees F. I have two of these style greenhouses to put up in 2024, very appreciative of everyone who have done mods, etc. Another channel, he sprayed cover with something called 303 Protectant, it may help extend the life of the cover (is it like Armor All?)

    It is complex, but it's also aligned with what I do professionally, so it's a good extension to my skills. It's still hard for me, but within reach. I am chasing a level of automation and monitoring that can give me 2 weeks away from the the farm and not need a daily visit by a neighbor. Maybe one mid vacation visit just to check on what I haven't addressed yet, and on call if there is a problem.

  • @feyme0
    @feyme0 Жыл бұрын

    I had the opposite problem where I was having difficulty getting it to shift smoothly into low without grinding or clunking. I adjusted the rod attached to the shift lever behind the firewall. Not easy to access, but possible. Easy way to loosen the locknuts is to use 14m crows foot with extension on your ratchet. The manual says they are both left hand thread nuts but untrue. The front one is RH thread and the rear one (closest to firewall) is LH thread. Although to loosen looking down the axis of the rod (front to rear), you turn both nuts clockwise to loosen and counterclockwise to tighten. In my case, after loosening the nuts, I rotated the rod one full rotation (360 degrees) counterclockwise. For now, seems to be working much better getting into low gear without clunking or grinding.
