Working on the first rental tractor that my partner bought on an on line auction, the next one we buy we will definitely take the time to go and look at it.
I’ve been thru 2 partnerships and there won’t be a third, just make sure you don’t give too much leash out,, where a dog can bite you in the wallet. The second go around I run everything across my accountant as I always had respect for his opinion and his first few words were,, Partnerships are like playing cards with the devil.
I couldn't agree with you more....I've had 3 partnerships and everyone of them used and abused me...I did the work spent the money gave my expertise they all ended up screwing me .... It's like inviting a vampire into your home, until you do they can't come in and hurt you...
I am a CPA. I too hate partnerships. Seen too many go to poop. I advice client to first figure out how to to end the partnership first, and to figure what happens when the business need more cash and one can no or will not put up more cash. Partnerships are like living with a cheating spouse. You must get YOUR lawyer to draw up thge partnership agreement. If you can not afford the attorney, you can not afford to get into the the deal.
@@codemanblue Even if you have it all on paper you can't get blood out of a turnip...Go to court only the lawyers come out on that deal...even if you win in court you've got to collect...never again will I have a partner...the worst partners I ever had was my lawyer and C.P.A.
I heard a good word of advice...and learned from.my fathers mistale... If they aint your brother, cousin or wife never let them be your partner... Simple.
I couldn't help but laugh while watching this one! I work for a company in California that leases equipment (mostly tractors with mower attachments) to a particular government agency that deals with the roads/highways (I'm sure you can guess which one) and you would be amazed at some of the people who get put into equipment and the breakdowns they call about
Renting equipment out would scare the @#$% out of me. I mean, you know how people drive rental cars. I'm sure equipment rental places have quite a few stories to tell. Still... I wish you the absolute best with your new venture!
What you said, rentals aren't treated with respect and I too am guilty of being harder on rental stuff as opposed to my own stuff. People dog me all the time on a video where I rented an injector cup removal/install to and I used vice grips on it rather than a wrench... LOL. Like when I rent a puller from say autozone, I don't lube it up, now had I owned it I most def would lube up the threads LOL.
This is awsome I'm loving this new tractor rental buisness. so excited to see these fix it vids mabey when the partners in town we could see him ina vid. Your an awsome mechanic I've learned so much from watching your vids I whent to trade school for 2 years for diesle tech worked in the field for about 4 years and now im a lazy fuxkin tri axle driver. takes a strong traditional work ethic to wrench and the learning is endless. AWSOME JOB!!!! KEEP IT UP.
I don't comment a lot but this video is right up my alley . Good advice pre rental , do a diagnostic print out for the client . After rental you do the same . Install tracking devices with override power and charge by the running hour of the machine . The bullshit I've had to deal with can ruin your life . And yes , 300hp machines are doing good but I tune them down a bit . The 120 to 150hp range only works for me with a frontloader . I don't want to discourage anybody but please do know what you get yourself into . My first years I worked almost day and night fixing stuff and running after my money .
This is good advice, what tracking gear would you recommend? I would also take a walk around video, and a damage/problem report signed on handout and return like the car rental crowds. Do you ask for a deposit? Do you inspect on long rentals?
Include mandatory scheduled maintenance, performed by you, paid for by the renter in the contract. This will ensure the maintenance is done when required and give you the opportunity to check on the condition of the machine.
That's a great synergy to have rentals on hand for your customers when their machines go down no brainer, you'll probably need more machines than you think
Thank you for the videos Warren. I wish you the best of luck on your side adventure. I hope it all works out. It'll be definitely a great opportunity were you are located. Take care of yourself. You're great at what you do!
All the best with your new business venture, looking forward to seeing the First rental tractor sorted out and working and I know that if anyone can fix it you certainly can.
It’s exactly what you were after, a tractor that required some work that others of less knowledge have given up on and have chucked it in the auctions. I’m sure it will be the finest running tractor in the state with you as it’s guardian!!! Good venture... makes sense. 👍
Good luck in rental biz and t/y for another great video. The New Holland service dept. is stiff arming you cause you are putting them out of biz. Keep up the good work!
Good luck with the rental business I'm sure it will be fine, sometimes on the automotive DPFs we have taken them out and steam cleaned them and been able to get them to re gen afterwards.
As a young man on the Farms in Southern Wisconsun, Inwas always told "Green is the color of money, but Red will keep you in the black" I really did like the 4010, 4020 and 4520, but they needed a lot of maintaince, the 826 and 1066 were the work horses. Hope it pays off for you!
Hi Warren maybe you should be go to the auction also to help your good friend pick out the equipment you want and to look them over seeing how you are going to work on them he may have the money but you have to fix them you are very good at what you do you know what your looking for also best of luck to you guys
Yeah the suction screen can easily plug up with algae or other debris. We had kids put shop rags down the fuel tank of one our backhoes. That diagnoses took awhile.
Warren, I hear you on maintenance cycles, many, many shoot from the hip. the environment does alter frequency time. As you know it can shorten the frequency as well. Thanks for sharing your skills.
With those filters marked super old I would definitely send in that oil for an analysis, would give some great insight into the actual age of the oil and it’s health
Check the Dozer def nozzle. If it has been sitting or not revenging the def will corrode and plug the nozzle. Check the thermostat for the regen . Might not be opening all the way to heat.
At work we have a couple of JD 210 skips that throw that low fuel pressure code and its normally the fuel tank vent is plugged. Might be something worth checking into seeing how dirty the air filter was. Good luck with the new adventure I used to work for a JD Ag dealership that had a large rental fleet and those hired farm helpers we're rough on them tractors
I have been in the Bucket Truck and Digger Derrick rental business for a long time. Make sure you guys get a iron clad whole harmless agreement and the renter has to provide you with a certificate of insurance for no less than a million dollars or even better five to ten million. Make sure you do a inservice before they leave the lot and take plenty of pictures before leaving the lot. I have had some renters try to change tires on me. If something can be broken stolen or wrecked it will happen. One other thing, make sure you go and service the tractor when it’s on a long term rent.
Evercoat “fibretech” would fix that hood damage for easy enough really good stuff - has Kevlar in it. Just make sure you mix it correct and key the damaged part with some sandpaper.
Warren, the willing hourse will pull the plough. Take Note of your Time. Labour. Materials. Costs. When in business their is no friends only "money".a good diary will give you leverage and the edge in court. Don't be foolish you might never use any of the above. . Its not advise I give you only my experience. From Dublin Ireland bless you all.
I'll take a guess at what emissions will lead to. The DPF is dirty yes. We send them out to a radiator shop here in Buffalo that cleans them. We also will replace the DOC if it still wont get up to temp. On SCRs we get inefficiency codes now and then. When this happens we check the dosing valve spray and check the composition tube needs to be clean. Make sure all pipes aren't leaking then change the in and out sensors. If it still fails it needs an scr. Engine coolant burned through exhaust kills scr's. This could happen when an EGR cooler fails or whatever causes coolant to be mixed with the combustion process. Ill be watching, your very clever and I'm learning.
Hey Warren it’s Ricky if you got an old couch or an alter the junk there’s a part and turn it over where the legs are and screw your boat and tap that chair like a screw thing out and roll your hole in your copier or underneath your hood and tap that in there and then you can just put a bolt in it you don’t have to refinish anything
Go for it Warren, Seems like a good plan- it will take some pressure of your ass and you will get some income while customers machines are down. win win in my thinking. Keep up the good work, Best regards from a weird England. Sam.
She looks like it’ll be a good tractor once you get it sorted out. Not sure if you figured out the language on the thing, but I believe you have to press the menu button until you find the display brightness, scroll down with the down arrow, and the language and units are there, if I remember right. Good luck out theee
With the partnership, you want to be paid for the tractor, not for wrenching on it. Else it merely displaces the work you already do, and doesn't get you ahead. You want the tractor to work for you instead of only you for the tractor. If you get that figured out before you put all the work into the venture and it should go well. My wife's family has the bestest friends never speak again over $100, Money makes perfectly fine people lose their minds. With that, all the best for your new endeavour!
Great to see y’all have yalls first machine! Hope y’all can take off running with that venture. I’d still love to know what your thoughts are on the power quad verse the power shift transmissions. I’ve always heard to run away from power quads.
Best of luck Warren, partnerships come with a health warning but can work well too. Make sure communication is kept up and everything is written down for both your sakes. If your roles and mutual expectations are understood and accepted then why not, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Get the requisite legal and financial advice to cover yourself and make sure there is an exit strategy if either partner wants to quit. Plan for the dooms day that it could go t*ts up at anytime and you'll be fine. Finally, make sure you are getting decently paid and are first paid, you'll get more respect for it.
Hey Warren, if you have the dealership look up that serial number on that tractor, they can tell you who originally purchased it.. your parts guy can do it for ya. I use my Texa unit on a weekly/Bi- weekly basis. Love that thing

If you did use bolts from the outside, you could use stainless steel carriage bolts that wouldn't look too bad. They're available on Amazon in varying sizes and lengths on Amazon. You can glue them in with epoxy.
Hey guys, good day I don't know if Warren will see this but he does what I need is an email or contact for him. Thank you I'm a new subscriber and this guy is really amazing. I learn so much from your videos I'm from Jamaica and I'm like you hear men guys in this side don't take time fix things the correct way and mess up all the while I have a case 580 C working on and I need to know I can download a workshop manual. Thanks
That's the thing about partnerships, they can destroy what were good relationships. I think the key is setting in place who's responsible for what. What expenses are covered by the partnership? If he suddenly starts taking money for expenses you didn't agree too, it will strain the partnership. You have to agree to how everything is to be run. If things aren't spelled out, things won't last long. Who collects the rent?
Having had two different partners, one for six months and another one for 17 years, I have only one piece of advice: do make sure you talk openly about any concerns early in the partnership. Whenever you feel something is not right, do let your partner know, and ask your partner to be very open too about any concerns on his side. Trust alone is not enough: you need to make sure -- by talking regularly -- that the partnership is working for you (and for him, of course). If a time comes when you no longer feel like being bound to the partnership. explain why to your partner and... no hard feelings! Nothing personal. Just business!
Another well-maintained southern tractor. I wonder how long it's going to take for retreads to understand that "disable regen" does NOT disable the whole T4 system. More good equipment is wrecked by retread operators than from any other cause.
Had a 2017 Freightliner at 30,000 miles it wouldnt regen ...i was out in Texas it was on a weekend home terminal in Ga called the fleet msnager he told me how to get it to go into parked regen it would do that for anout 45 seconds then stop and shut off ...he wanted to let the TA shop look at it they were covered up as usuall so i disconnected the batteries for 30 mins hooked them back up cranked it up put it in forced (parked) regen it stayed in for an hour and a half ....never had no problems out of it again after that even Freightliner couldn't explain that lil glitch lol it pays to know a little bit about this new shit lol
Congrats on the news and new venture but with your knowledge and experience you should be ok and hope the best and glad too see you looking ahead like the work truck how it paid off for ya so glad to see you growing!!!
Lol I see more things accidentally getting drop on your head in future. Some may call it pay back between son and father. Good luck with rental business and all it adventures
Ya I worked for a company that had the same tractor it was impossible to get the mechanics to bring out new air filters. And they dusted multiple engines a year but the owner always blamed to operators for it
congratulations............the tractor sadly has been driven into the ground :// I hate to think how much damage is done every year, by simple lack of oil changes and filters. Common rails are super dicey when it comes to fuel filters.............
Put things on paper. Keeps everybody honest. Guys that have money that are real friends want it that way. Keeps everybody on the same page. Everybody hates lawyers but you need to protect yourself and you famili'es financial wellbeing you have worked too hard.
I see it all the time too on any roller or air compressor with a Kubota. guys will disable the auto regen and then it winds up setting a pm5 level code
not changing air filter beats the hell out of me too little lone the other filters. have seen people run machines till quit then start servicing too late
Warren, good luck in your new venture!
Yep some people just don't care about machinery and then wonder why something goes wrong, pleased to see you got your first tractor!👍🏼

You've got to show us the old dpf when you take it apart!!!! We've got to see this!!!!
Great video Warren. Please keep us updated.
All the best with your new business venture, looking forward to seeing the First rental tractor sorted out and working and I know that if anyone can fix it you certainly can.
I wish you luck, always enjoy your content.
A man with your skills Warren, will soon have that tractor sorted out. Good idea the rental thing.
best of wishes warren this is a great idea
Awesome video please keep making videos on this rebuild on whoever does not deserve to own equipment like this. Glad it’s in better hands now.
Wishing you all the best in this new venture Warren. Just hope you have enough hours in your day to cope with the additional workload.
Good luck in your new business venture. I really enjoy your videos. Excellent camera work and commentary. Very interesting and informative Thanks
Congratulations Warren. Make it work for you.
It’s exactly what you were after, a tractor that required some work that others of less knowledge have given up on and have chucked it in the auctions. I’m sure it will be the finest running tractor in the state with you as it’s guardian!!! Good venture... makes sense. 👍
YES!! That’s awesome!
Looking forward to more videos on this tractor, hope there's more and eventually an 8000 series when you find one.
Good luck in rental biz and t/y for another great video. The New Holland service dept. is stiff arming you cause you are putting them out of biz. Keep up the good work!

i really like Warren but i figure if he's going to work on stuff he needs to help pick it out to help his friend get a good buy
Looks pretty beat up, but you're just the right person to take advantage of that
Warren check the suction screen in the fuel tank. I have seen the screen stopped up on a lot of 6000s and it causes that code.
Yeah the suction screen can easily plug up with algae or other debris. We had kids put shop rags down the fuel tank of one our backhoes. That diagnoses took awhile.
So many machine s have that same issue.
Bobcat also.
Ya John Deere loaders 644k same problem
Warren, I hear you on maintenance cycles, many, many shoot from the hip. the environment does alter frequency time. As you know it can shorten the frequency as well. Thanks for sharing your skills.
You couldn’t have pick a better choice of business to go into!. I think you’ll do just fine!.
Ty is my go to guy too! I live in Albany so we are only 15 mins away from farmland!
Good luck with the new business venture mate.

good vid warren
yep... that is the way things are now ! just RUN them to the ground !! I guess is great for us mechanics... ! more workie workie

Put some polystyrene in a bucket with z couple of pints of nail varnish remover stir till mixed then brush it on the fibreglass

Good luck on the new venture. If anyone can keep them running, it’s you!
Does being an owner get you any breaks on the JD repair utilities?
With the partnership, you want to be paid for the tractor, not for wrenching on it. Else it merely displaces the work you already do, and doesn't get you ahead. You want the tractor to work for you instead of only you for the tractor. If you get that figured out before you put all the work into the venture and it should go well. My wife's family has the bestest friends never speak again over $100, Money makes perfectly fine people lose their minds. With that, all the best for your new endeavour!
I've used pressure washers to clean these DPF's out and if it's not too bad it works. I've used purple stuff let it soak and spray out and repeat.
Great to see y’all have yalls first machine! Hope y’all can take off running with that venture. I’d still love to know what your thoughts are on the power quad verse the power shift transmissions. I’ve always heard to run away from power quads.
Loving this stuff mate 👌👌👌👌
Its on your lot, take the secondary air filter out while doing this!!!
Should be a good tractor with a little Maintenance and TLC.
Best of luck Warren, partnerships come with a health warning but can work well too. Make sure communication is kept up and everything is written down for both your sakes.

$4000 could buy a lot of John Deere green for those bolts and fender washers in the hood.
Looks like the tractors they use to pull sugarcane carts in Louisiana, especially with all the mud under it.
i may have interest in that t600 warren.
If you can butter toast, you can fiberglass :)
I was watching that auction, equipment there seemed rough
I've had good luck using a spray chemical to clean the DPF. The spray goes in where the sensor is and then it's run and will wash the filter out.
Congrats on the news and new venture but with your knowledge and experience you should be ok and hope the best and glad too see you looking ahead like the work truck how it paid off for ya so glad to see you growing!!!
Lol I see more things accidentally getting drop on your head in future. Some may call it pay back between son and father. Good luck with rental business and all it adventures
good luck finding a fixing the problems
Difo need a tracker installed to protect your investment best of luck with the New business
I’ve had some luck with pressure washing those partially blocked dpfs.Warren.
So how would the rental work I mean they usually run them hard and what would the prices be I’m interested in doing something like this where I’m at?
Ya I worked for a company that had the same tractor it was impossible to get the mechanics to bring out new air filters. And they dusted multiple engines a year but the owner always blamed to operators for it
Those tractors are so junk the way you have to pop the hood just to check the oil
congratulations............the tractor sadly has been driven into the ground :// I hate to think how much damage is done every year, by simple lack of oil changes and filters. Common rails are super dicey when it comes to fuel filters.............
LOL, got a boat repair guy close.... hahaha
G'day Warren
Make sure the turbo is blowing as it should if not it won’t get up to temperature to perform a regen
"We'll figure something out" Get it on paper!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put things on paper. Keeps everybody honest. Guys that have money that are real friends want it that way. Keeps everybody on the same page. Everybody hates lawyers but you need to protect yourself and you famili'es financial wellbeing you have worked too hard.
I see it all the time too on any roller or air compressor with a Kubota. guys will disable the auto regen and then it winds up setting a pm5 level code
not changing air filter beats the hell out of me too little lone the other filters. have seen people run machines till quit then start servicing too late
👍
Looks like you are gonna need to get an apprentice soon enough to do maintenance on your fleet.
Been nice ya worked things out a bit for jumping in, money does strange thing to people
Regen on a farm tractor .
Insane
Why don't you call the EPA and tell them exactly that? It's their requirements for clean air.
Did you drive the service truck to Sacramento? Wow that's a good haul
