I’ve become a non believer in the repeated myths of the 6.5. I run an HX35 average 7-15lbs and peak at 22lbs when I’m balls to the wall passing someone at 80mph. 230,000 original miles, no studs, commute an hour each way to work daily and tow between 4-7,000 lbs. egt’s rarely hit 800 and usually live between 4-700. Back pressure is what kills a head gasket and I’m making less back pressure at 22lbs with the HX35 4” straight pipe, then I was on the GM4 at 15lbs.

Definitely a fantastic investment - able to be assembled easily and once you are able to teach the sheep what to do - what a blessing it will be for you. Thank you for sharing - the bad and the good. Y'all are a blessing to us!

Looks like it will serve y’all well. Wonder if when you build another barn you could pour rough concrete to place the system. Then they have grip also. And add a cover? But looks great. Thanks for sharing.

Greetings! You produced a very nice video. We encountered much of the same issues when we set ours up a couple years ago. We always separate the lambs from the ewes first and run them separately. Once one sees a "friend going thru the set up each is obedient to follow! In our case we don't have a few hundred but right now only about 70. Our goal is to winter about 20-30 Katahdin breeding ewes and retain about 10 of the best ewe lambs for the next year. Be careful with the squeeze- I more than once got my fingers whacked when releasing the sides. My husband Jim gave me the right way to hit it to release without injury! That was a good idea to use your crook on the swing door of the crowding chute. In our case, we have this under cover in one of the barns so the entire set-up is easily accessible. Jim made me some shelves against the barn wall for guns, the rfid reader, meds, etc. Your idea of a portable "table" attached to the set up is a good one especially with an external, in the field set up. We have the scale set up immediately following the chute with the sort unit after the scale and the turn table last. We couldn't justify the extra cost of an electronic scale but use the analog type which for our volume is no big deal. With your size flock I imagine it will be more efficient for you to use the digital scale. When we run everyone thru to check feet, deworm,etc it takes us about 1.5-2 hours. We have been enjoying your videos for quite some time and appreciate the time you spend in both their creation and editing. Sorry this notte is so long! May many blessings abound for you and your family!. Enjoy your day and keep up the good work!

Oh Brother you look bad sunburned! Nice set up and I don't mean to be critical at all I know your time is very limited.... but.... If you can put those sheep in the lot and let them walk through the system on their own to learn it. DONT touch them or do anything to them. Just lure them through with some feed and let them have the treat at the end. Food is the only thing I have found that sheep respond to or remember. Let them learn that walking through the system ends in something good. Do that a few times per week and they will likely do much better. Not perfect but better.

Thanks for sharing

For the most part I’m a Powerstroke guy we run a 7.3

How has it held up so far? Been on the fence about purchasing given the price (seems too good to be true)

Man we need to start a community bros I got a 6.5 too

Here's a bit of advice from an old man that has done a lot of bailing, when raking hay roll it into a roll it will feed into the baler better and you won't leave any edges of the windrow in the field, enjoy your videos keep it up!!

I have a Chevy diesel that i use to tow but hauling hay is a day off for my truck lol. If that junk 6.5 can do it, any diesel truck can.

Don't need ford for light loads

Sounds great! #6.5L

Hauling hay is light work. The Fords are out hauling cattle and rock.

I'm a GM guy but I do like them inline 6 tractor engines but only with a manual. Firmly believe that 2nd gen dodges are just the drivable shipping crate your Cummins swap comes in.

Freedom Farms? Trumpards sure are original in naming conventions. Freedom this, patriot that...

just a jack of all trades aren't ya man, enjoy your 4th!!

..... and your 50 year old tractor will still be going strong when that GPS dies! 😉

I have 15 acres of pasture, is that enough for 5 sheep and prevent worms?

Thanks for sharing have a great 4th buddy god bless

Thats not a turbo, thats a jet engine

I would put the turn table at least inside when not using it. They are expensive and lots of moving parts. That and our head chute never see rain and get washed and painted yearly.

gotta admit, I didn't have a backbone and was planning on joining air force army recruiter showed up first, so I signed up, went to basic and magically grew a backbone

what a sweet setup. you might be surprised how portable that may turn out to be for your neighbors.

As someone who has served in or with all branches (exept coast guard and space force) intelligence has very little to do with what branch you serve in. There are plenty of intelligent marines and plenty of dumb airmen. It has more to do with one's personality than anything.

Air Force Rejected Me Yesterday

Sounds nice

Nice job on the upgrade. I used to have a 98 K1500 with the 6.5, I upgraded the center section of my turbo with the wicked wheel from Heath diesel, and also upgraded my lift pump, and relocated the PMD and upgraded the battery wiring on the truck. I enjoyed that truck and I love listening to your truck something about the sound of the 6.5 even compared to the duramax. Keep up the good work, and I will be checking out more of your videos.

Sounds like my buddy Ross on the phone hahaha

lol great video thanks for sharing

Hey Travis, there's something goofy going on with your mic cause in the video I couldn't hardly hear what you were saying. But as the video goes on the audio is better.

When you gonna put that girl in a tractor? She's old enough to start farming. She needs to be ready to inherit your future empire.

Desert Storm: -Air Force, air conditioned tents -Army, tents.

😂😂💪

Wow that fuel pressure was making me 😢, Thank you for the video excellent info and explanation I think 6.5 guys just love underdogs lol. Good luck with her🍀 and keep the videos coming, oh also what do you think about a 5’ exhaust waste of time ?and adding intercooler..???

Didn't try to go into the air farts. The recruiter was never in the office and never answered his/her phone.😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead because everyone i met that served in the Air Force never had a back bone and was always "yes sir" or "no sir" without any hesitation. Me on the other hand, i verbally challenged everyone i came across even in the civilian life and i was Army

Good evening glad to see your beautiful better half in a video thanks again for your service in keeping old glory flying ❤

I chose were I wanted before I took asfab got that extra pay and rank

Submarine service. We eat officer chow.

John Deere is American for a Piece of $chitte. Often used a yard ornaments in the last location they stopped working in. Mine located itself on top of a yellow jacket hive.. I have a Husky now, I got rid of the PoS and the jackets.

Old companies are already gone.. they are just names and IP. how about stop supporting the faux names?

450

Rather funny timing as ACGO is moving manufacturing from Hesston to Mexico.

Condolences.

TRUTH. AGCO for the win! 👍🏻

Yeah unfortunatly got a 92 on my asvab and was found to indeed have a backbone my only option was airborne 11C with no bonus

Scored well enough for any job in any branch? Look, it's bad enough that you believed the recuiter enough to go to the Army, I bet the recruiter told you that line about the ASVAB score, too. 😂

Pretty sharp words from the branch that will take washouts from every other branch including the Coast Guard.

Says the army talking about backbones when they all break/remove them for walking on grass
