- Starting a farm vlog is here to help others who want to start a farm too. Building bale spikes for our 1981 Allis Chalmers 7045 after I broke them lifting logs that were too heavy for the thin metal I used to build them out of originally. Buying a set isn't an option since these tractors are so old their loaders didn't have any options other than the bucket and maybe some universal forks. Also the amount you would spend on a universal set of hay forks you can build your own far cheaper, stronger, and use the saved money to make your build easier.

I found for marking steel a markal silverstreak is the way to go. I have tried them all and the most visible. Thanks for sharing.
I'm gonna try that, I like the wax pens I've been using but if the metal is hot the wax melts off
Things happen. Just had to replace the PTO shaft on the brush hog due to having it lifted wrong while going thru a gate(oops) my rear hay spikes were made for me with a ball on top to pull a trailer around, which I love. Your new ones look strong enough to lift a house. Well done
So glad you're enjoying the channel I enjoy hearing the stories from others who have similar situations. if you have any friends that are interested in farming videos please share the video with them too! By the way hope the PTO shaft wasn't too much of a trouble to fix. There's just something special about building things yourself and knowing that you are able to 😁
@@FreedomFarmsMo Always happy to help boost/support a neighbor :)
Careful setting you phone down like that when welding! Hot bb’s will land on your screen and mess it all up! Been there done that “union Ironworker”
It sure will I could have used that advice before hand. Thankfully screen protectors saved me each time so far lol.
Yup did that too, on the camera, not sure if its just me but i find the plastic deflects it way better, auto dark plastic windows last longer then the glass for pipeliner hood
Yea I killed the lens protector on the GoPro I use from welding with it nearby trying to get good videos for CZcams. Lesson learned.🤦♂️
Welding gloves.... Safety First !!!!
Yes good idea! I need to get some
Was wondering when you were welding should the viewers look away to???
Nope, it is safe for you to watch when it is recorded through a camera. Good question though.
