How many head do feed from your silage bag?
When I was milking about 35-40. An 8x200 lasted about 3-4 months. Feeding a TMR mixing about 50/50 corn/grass since corn packs better and usually more is in those bags a bag of each was good for roughly 5 months
You showed my pumpkin and cabbage in this video! Love from a fellow Waterfordian!
Thanks for watching. Waterford Fair is always fun. Easy year for us because we usually have cows there also. How'd you do overall?
Have you seen any Sap Beetles in your corn?? And Amen , KEEP your vids coming!!! Kevin
@@naturegirlmia I haven't really noticed any this year but in sure they're around.
39 degrees this morning in central wisconsin 9-7
@@DAVIDZ-vk4yv too soon for that. 😂 Definitely going to be the norm sooner than later.
would you plant open poll corn again ?
@@dogwoodish yes. I still have some seed left. I may look for a different variety to try next year. I knew a 112 day corn is late for this area and needed to be planted allot earlier. You learn by trying things out of the box.
I think you did very good keep them videos coming👍👍🇺🇸
@@evilclan2799 thanks. Would have been better if corn wasn't planted as late as I did.
Did Burnouts with Bob judge at the fair?
You were supposed to pick him up so you could judge the flowers while he did the farm products. 😁
Burnouts with Bob could come take a bath
I subscribed! Hopefully we can help you grow and get some extra income to help you out and maybe watch your farm grow brother💚
Well at least it’s not winter. That’s right around the corner unfortunately 🤦♂️
Don't remind me. 😂 Definitely not my favorite time of year. The cold is no big deal I hate the snow.
Nothing better than a fluded barn !😒 I've been down that road many times
Only thing more of a pain is a broken fence. 🤣🤣🤣
I would love to come down by you help you out with no pay because I hate to see you guys go out.. I love farming I've done it all my life and I miss that lifestyle.. you have a nice Barn and greatland you could be doing the field work well i take care of all the milking cleaning chores
Don't get rid of the cows I know they can be in the pain in the ass at times but. Once you get it all cleaned in the freestyle Barn your step up parlor and milkhouse everything inside.. back to milking standards Trump will be in office and he is for the farmers.. farmers will be thriving again..
Hey bud keep making those videos I like watching your channel..
We had the same thing happen to us. Cows got nosey and flooded the barn.
Jerseys are the most mischievous troublemakers.
@@Mad_Farmer912 im doing a history of the farm videos in the future. Hope you enjoy. 1st one of 3 come out tomorrow at 8am
It's a flush system
Cleanest the floor has been for years.
How many bails do u have left from last year in that pile under the trap
The pile that is tarped is this year's hay. At the end of the pile is about 10 bales left from last year and I have about 40 bales of second crop left in the barns
I used 0W-40 per the manual for all the temperature ranges (I'm in Northern IL).
I don't trust 0w oils. Maybe I should use thinner oil. I find it hard to believe the oil is the problem but when it gets below freezing it won't start. If it's like I think about needing oil pressure to counter a low pressure switch maybe it gets thick enough keeping it from starting.
@@Mad_Farmer912 mine starts fine in the winter.
57937 is the WIX filter I use on my TBX 700 too.
I have a oliver 1650 that was doing the same thing I drained the tank twice and it would still plug up, I ended up fitting a piece of break line about a 1.5 inches long into the end of the nipple of the sedament bowl that screws up into the tank, I forget now what the diameter of the line was but it fit reel snug. I did loose a 1.5 inch of fuel capacity but its been 7 years and it hasnt plugged up since
Interesting video.
Thanks At least it was less eventful than the last time raking hay. 😂
As an organic no till guy, I hear ya. But where the seed companies earn their money is drought resistance. Sure, they have all kinds of traits, both from selective breeding, and genetic modification. I do think they get some credit where it is not due, because the planting technology is so good. There is a lot of common parent seed types that all seed companies use, anyone can pay the licensing fee, then play around with it, and put their own stink on it. The land Grant collegiate system also has a lot of unlicensed genetics out there. I want short season stuff, so I can hedge my bets and have multiple revenue streams from every acre. Livestock weight gain, poultry production. I’ve made it 23 years without going broke and I’ve paid off my debts.
Your right. It could have been worse
Definitely. I don't want to run it out of oil. I thought it was close to being because of the amount making the trail I could follow on the road
The Wenzel farm on 86 between Cambridge and Meadville has a bunch of Oliver and White tractors. They rent most or all of their farm out now and had a couple Oliver sitting outside. I know they had at least one 1650 and 1655 plus several others. I look to see an auction there eventually as they have a lot of stuff sitting outside and some inside and who knows maybe they have parts around.
They'll wait til absolutely nothing runs b4 they have an auction...never ceases to amaze me
I think they do have a row of old equipment out back I thought they were still doing some hay yet. I could stop and see. I doubt they'd remember me. I bought a NH 770 chopper off them about 20 years ago.
@@FarmallFanatic The same with the farm that is on Old State Rd by Sharp Rd near Waterford. I haven't been by there lately but they had newer equipment sitting outside with weeds and brush growing through it for close to 20 years
@@2cylinderjohndeere720he is a different breed. He has a real nice , 790 chopper. One year when mine broke and waiting for parts I asked if I could borrow it and didn't want to soI tried to buy but he wouldn't sell. I was surprised he was willing to let me borrow a gravity wagon 2 years ago when i shelled my corn.
Great Video and I had the same problem , red wire broke off, Ordered a new one from Country Cat part #1436-483
What size is that white?
2-70
I was plowing with my xt190 and spun the out put shaft bearing i put 2 wedge blocks between front axle and frame and carried it with a wrecker
If I needed to do that I could get the neighbor and his log skidder, but luckily it's just across the road
Our 5075 Deere that mostly does the work around the Hay sheds was moving ROUND bales to the perimeter of the Field, , stopped for lunch....... in the Lull it was parked when a sever thunder storm came up a lightning was striking Pine trees all around !!! Afterwards when we went to move the tractor and it wouldn"t........ It has what deere calls a Scyn-shuttle reverser which means you have to use the clutch instead of a Power- Reverser....... The Problem was in the Combination Forward- Reverser Lever/ Clutch wiring harness, required removing dash and replacing Harness
At least you can work on it. Every year they make tractors more complicated to work on.
@@Mad_Farmer912 This is not the first time we have had severe electrical problems with a relatively new tractor.... My Son bought a low houred 7230 "High Clearance sight unseen from Almost brownsville Texas,..... I mean they were almost giving the tractor away ... When it got here we discovered why...... When you press the gear-change button it blew a fuse... after a few hours we found that there were two # 10 power wires coming from a relay box under the hood.. one of the wires had no voltage..... some one had installed a jumper wire n the main panel behind the seat,,, and the fuse couldn't take the extra load..... the problem was in the relay box under the hood.... some one some time in the past had changed a relay and pushed one of the terminal clips out of the Holder panel..... I have a video of my Son's wife running a round baler..... We eventually sold the tractor for the market value...... My Son and I build high Horsepower drag cars so we have a full understanding of electronic domathingies.....
Check out that Oliver guy Chris Losey he has lots of videos repairing Oliver’s if you’ve never heard of him. I think the2-70 is the same as a 1655 Oliver, but I’m not 100% sure. Good luck!
Yep I follow Chris. I know he's currently restoring an 1855, I'm sure the transmissions are pretty similar. I know I've seen him working on them and started scrolling through his vids trying to find one that'll show what I'm looking for.
Never heard or seen anything like that happen to a 2/70. Stripped something off. Ig now you gotta tear it apart and figure out if it’s worth it or not. You’re not having fun until you’re breaking things 😂. Could be just a gear that the teeth stripped off and it’s easy .
@@HeavenlyValleyFarm123 I'm thinking it's a bearing in one of the gears and not letting gear teeth to fully engage. It seems to want to move but makes noise right away. I don't want to move it and end up with something meshing wrong and taking out more gears or a shaft. I need to get it stuck somewhere and lift the top so I can figure it out.
something in the clutch ?
@@dogwoodish the clutch is further forward and the noise is at my feet. It also is disengaging and engaging. The noise is only when the gears in transmission start to turn.
I hope ya can get that old gal fixed up again, they don't make tractors like that as they used to do
@@goatfarmmb I'm figuring it's either a gear or bearing. Definitely will be worth fixing if parts are available. Just a matter of time, money, and getting somewhere to work on it.
@@Mad_Farmer912definitely worth fixing
That hay looks nice and thick! 👍👍👍👍
@@pagrainfarmer not quite as tall as last year but the manure I spread after 1st cut did its job.
Looks like a awesome crop of hay!!!! Cant beat them discbines!!!
I'll definitely never go back to a haybind/sickle bar. 🤣🤣
get back to milking cows
I have some connley yellow dent field corn, open pollinated corn. It tossled early and it took for ever to start making a ear but they are coming on now and the ears are way up high on it
@@naturegirlmia I looked at it today when I went to see if the weeds are dying and it looks like there are more silks showing. It's probably typical of OP corn. It's been explained to me years ago about the differences of OP and hybrid corns. The way hybrids are bred they are a clone and that's why plants are even in size and ripen about the same time. OP are individual plants which is why there is more variables for why they vary in height and wider window of ripening.
Good video. Keep em coming Dave. Thanks for putting the time in Can you update us on your herd? Are cows still bringing big money at the auction ?
@@Beau23608 I haven't taken anything to the auction lately but a neighbor just told me he was looking for a feeder but they were way high yet
With all my small engines,whenever I am to use them for the first time in any seasons,I will remove the breather filter and give it a few good spray of ''carburator cleaner''that they needed or not,it works find for me.
@@michelchartrand7257 I'm sure everything thru the fuel system needs cleaner blown through it.
If you haven’t taken the screen out of the exhaust on the pole saw try that before you do anything else.If that’s clogged it will run like crap. On all 2 stroke engines,if they start running like crap,that’s the first thing I try,and their usually clogged with carbon
@@Brian.N as long as it's been sitting it's likely something could've made a nest also.
I do the same damn thing buying off Amazon lol. Any of those Hiefers bred and for sale this fall?
I've bred a couple but not sure if they settled. If they are they're not due till next spring.
Man don't beat yourself up we all do it. 🤣👌🏿👌🏿
I just do it too often. Always seems I do everything 3 time to get things done. 😂
Those round bale feeders are all junk. I don’t even use mine anymore. I got ab 6 months out it before the cows started breaking it. I welded it all up and pieced it back together. Got ab another 6 8 months and it was all smashed up again. Those feeders always seemed like a scam to me. The beef cows always pulled the hay out on the ground and wasted it and the claves would lay in it and wreck the hay that was left. The hay saver ones are the only good ones. I just roll the bales out and throw the hay over the fence. At least that way they don’t completely ruin all of it.
I knew this one was cheap and hoped it would've lasted longer till I can find another one at a good deal. For the money I think it lasted better than the one made out of ABS plastic pipe they wanted $500 for
The older tractors are well made ..love them..great video
If you ever get a new trimmer try an electric one. They work great! The red feeders are alot stronger. I went through 3 of those feeders
Definitely the reds ones hold up better and usually the one I get. Just looking for a deal on one. Maybe at Ray's auction in September.
new boot goofin
I searched all over for four rib tires this spring. Nobody could get them. Had to go with a three rib.
Like a lot of things I think they're keeping supplies low to screw with the prices. 3 ribs are ok if the tractors not over heavy. I've had 2 sets crack along the middle rib on this tractor because I think it's too heavy for all the weight to be mainly on the center rib.
Ran into your wife at the antique shop the other day, learned of your channel, watched most of em, quality content man keep em coming
Thanks. She likes causing trouble.😂
Can I have your front weights to sell?
Now why would I want to do that? 🤔😁🤣
