Nice to see Mackenzie in your video Trevor
Your sister is cute she will be a good addition to your family business
Nice looking disc
Great video Trevor
That disc is pretty sweet. Yes 70k is a steep price. But if it lasts another 30 years, and is easier on the tractor pulling it, plus maybe do a better job, then maybe it is worth the investment
Love the iron!
Dave makes some awesome tillage equipment. We have really loved what he makes.
You got that right!
Nice equipment
Hey Trevor, hows things going...
Andy here, from Southeast Missouri...
First i want to say that i hope Today's Music Festival is a Gigantic Success...For the Farm, For the Employees, the Bales Family and most importantly, for all the People attending...
I also hope there will be lots and lots of pictures of everything, including hours and hours of video coverage of everything single thing...
I've just finished BINGE Watching the rest of the videos on your channel, from the oldest to the newest...
Everything overall looks to be going Fantastic...
I'm sure with the addition of your sister to the Farming Operation, she will truly help benefit the business, as a Total Family Farming Operation...And getting her trained on operating some of the various pieces of equipment on the farm will give her a Huge perspective on how everything working together makes the farm operate as a business...
With the size of your growing Fleet of Farm Tractors, Semi Trucks, Farm Trucks, and the dozens of different types of tractor attached implements, it really looks like the farming operation would have a huge benefit if y'all hired a Full-Time certified Heavy Duty Diesel Equipment mechanic, who is also certified in Hydraulics, Pneumatic's, Welding and Fabrication...And also never goes to work in the fields...A full time mechanic who is always in the shop fixing, servicing or building stuff would be a Huge Asset to have, plus reducing the amount of time it has taken to get broken equipment back in service...Cause lets face it...Downtime for any piece of equipment totally SUXXX...Also having a Fully Outfitted Service truck with a Crane, generator, welder, etc would be advantageous where some broken down equipment could be fixed onsite in the field, especially on far away fields, instead of always having to drag everything back to the shop to be repaired...
Anyways have a Great afternoon and evening, and have fun at the Music Festival...
Wish I could have been there for the Festival...
Sweco is only a few miles from me. I was a welder there one summer during college. They’ve always made good stuff.
Good show
Trevor, try a NAPA EVB Emergency Vehicle Battery in your pickup. They are made to run all the “extra: equipment that is added onto vehicles .Have used them in the past and they last a lot longer than ordinary batteries.
Stockman's is a nice store. Still gotta visit yours!
COOL!
I work in a Napa and it seems like most folks complain their batteries just die suddenly. Especially in gas vehicles with only 1 battery. The diesels do seem to give more “warning” they’re dying. I think that’s mostly because of the 2 battery setup. I’m also in the southeast so cold weather isn’t as hard on our batteries as the heat is.
Lots of stop/start and extended idling in your "warm" climate is a real battery killer. You might want to consider using a 'Battery Tender" when you park @ home at end of day till first start in AM. Sure can't hurt and just may extend battery life. And yes those wipers were an advance warning of impending sudden battery death. With today's rolling computers we call vehicles, good clean power is a MUST. Keep up the good work great videos!!
That’s not a bad idea!
Looks like a interesting ring roller. Little different than the rings we run here
I’m working at Stotz Equipment this week.
Putting in new gate tracks.
Would like to meet you if you have time. Love your videos. Hope you can stop in.
Come on over!!!
You just answered my question. Ring roller follows?
24' wide disc would be nice but the price is pretty steep though but it sure would last longer, it's built tough. Your sister might bring in new ideas to your operations.
The disc is great they have come along way from 30 years ago
Trevor, You can find a disk that will do an equivalent job for under $15K. To make $70K justifiable you would have to cover an awful lot of acres, and if you do cover a lot of acres you'll be replacing disc blades and bearings out the wazoo. The only way to make this purchase work is if you needed the tax right off but I imagine that you have other high priority equipment that would come first.
You could look into a disc ripper like the ecolo tigers. That way you get the disc, rippers, and rollers all in one pass.
Can you add the rollers (?) from yesterdays trailing "sod busters(?)"?
Howdy bales
Have you looked at lemken disks?
For the algorithms Bales.
Thank you.
Okay big T and little sis t. Here's my thought on a building .
build it a 150 ftwide buy 200 ft long. Then build your interior how the way you want it to. Good luck on your design and how you want to build it. Or you can do this.🇺🇸💪😎👍
Don’t discount the Case IH 770 disc, those are a very good disc and hold their value, especially in today’s equipment market. Fix it up, put some new bearings and blades on it and it’ll help offset the price of the new Sweco.
Try out a speed disk thay Are a nice disk thay work and do a good job
👍🏻👍🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻
Is this the first time the Fendt nas worked in tilling? All around how have you liked the Fendt?
Nope! We love it. It mostly pulls the laser though
You call it tobacco Up here in minnesota we call it carmelized Hay.
That’s a much better term. I like that.
We call it tobacco here in Washington
I was watching you squeeze... Are they all levers, or are there some with joysticks? To me a joystick setup would be much nicer for the operator
They do offer a joystick. However, it’s more expensive and when they break, they are a lot harder to fix. The manufacturer does not recommend them.
What do you do with the "bad hay"? Looks like something good to add to a tmr ration.
NE Montana, last couple years I was farming we had a few early morning heavy dew round bales get hot after baling. Just set them aside and do their thing. Apparently there is a fire risk if they are left in a stack. Winter feeding, the heifers ate down to the tobacco/carmelizing, pulled that chunk out of the feeders and set them aside. The calves would gnaw on them like they were candy and finish them off. didn't notice any difference in other feeding, It was more of a desert, something to do kind of thing, but not apparently bad nutritionally in any way.
I agree. The animals love that. It’s like it’s fermented.
Wishek tandem. If spending that much . And wouldn't be no offset either.
What was that ball shaped thing in the background @ 18:57? A bomb disposal trailer 😮
Looks like a nurse trailer for some liquid supplements??
ball nurse trailer from
Big W sales… Yuma, AZ
they have been selling them since the late 70’s
This video was better than Zach's farming videos that he puts out about his equipment!!
Trevor
make sure you follow-up with Mckenzie as she learns more about the family business
Doesn’t the windshield wipers moving like that mean you have an issue with you system?
Only does it with low bats.
Did you bale that hay or bought it? I would use that disc for what you need this year, next year the economy might not be so good, get a better price on a demo or buy a used nearly new one. :)
Get a Salford!
Those big disc with 4 independent wings always tweak out of straight and then they disc uneven in my experience The big disc with connected front and rear wings seem to be a better option over the long term
Weaker design but if you take care of it to may last you a long time if your fields aren’t that tough of conditions
Thats not a ring roller, or a cultipacker...its much more aggressive than either of those impliments....its's almost like an aireator...?? ....I would call it a clod buster...but thats a fine piece of tillage equipment..i would definately add that to my arsenal....you will find places that it works when nothing else does !!! I'd love to own it !!!!
Lol.
Time is money as they say
How has Makenzie lived in town for 15 years? Isn’t she only 20 something?
Lol. Yes, only 20 something 😉
Kool disk. Even if you put say $15k into the one you have it'd would probably last 30 more yrs. Better than dropping $70k on a new one.
Comment ;)
$25 -$30 a bale small alfalfa in oz $250 for 4ft rounds $350 for 8x4x3
Not here in AZ.
Trevor since your sister is there does this mean more date nights with the wife .
Why would you waste time and fuel buying a heavier disk and working you're ground?
Wouldn't it be more cost
efficient just to spray everything dead and no till it?
sister?
I never keep batteries over three years. Dead batteries will kill your on board computers which cost thousands more.
When you see my comments, my older brother is a hay customer of yours, Jimmy Kemp up on ave 211, galvin st. They brag on you guys
You ask for comments just saying what you call stacks are actually called blocks, your sorting blocks from the barn cause blocks are calculated to loads 7 or 8 blocks per load, you asked for comments so don’t get pushed out shape over comments. You have before over simple comments.
Thanks! I guess a lot can be missed in text. It’s difficult for me to know if someone is being serious, a jerk, know it all. Every area does things differently. The machine that stacks the hay for instance has several slang names, and they are specific for the area. Everyone in our area calls the blocks, stacks. If I told someone here, there are 8 blocks ready, no one would know what that meant. Specially in our area, we call them stacks. A friend of mine in CO calls them rick, a rick of hay. So where you are they are blocks, my friend calls them ricks, and we call them stacks. So it’s not that anyone is wrong or right, it’s all about the area you are in. I appreciate most comments. I just like everyone to be respectful.
