Hopefully you can enjoy hay-making a little more than you did planting. Both can be stressful, battling the weather, but the former gives results you can see sooner. Something special about making good hay I could never quite understand. Thanks, as always, for sharing everything with us, it is appreciated.
Tires and rims look great. I would be careful about running the hay crimper twice. If things are partially dry, it can shatter the stems and make it difficult to rake up the material. It's always nice to see you and your dad working together too.
Quite a line of hay tools. The Su 55 looks sharp with the new tires. Prices on ag tires are getting ridiculous any more. Wishing you the best for a decent spell of weather to get the hay in.
I understand your frustration with the deer situation and the government, . Yes they want to have a local DNR officer verify your issue. Otherwise it would be easy for someone to do a bunch of poaching. I own 40 acres of woods and grass land in another state, and spend a fair penny to travel there, buy an expensive non resident licence to bag a deer. My dad was a kid in the 1940's in central Minnesota, there were nearly no deer, because at one time there were no seasons or bag limits, and a bounty on hides.
My brother got some block permits the last couple years, had to call numerous times and annoy the crap out of them to get a call back from the proper guy that first year. Then they wanted name and addresses of the shooters, got 5 tags finally 😆. I guess it depends on the region a guys in because east of here the guy in charge just passes them out no questions asked, the guy in charge of are area wanted to come out and look at the damage but he'd never show up so he just kept bugging him and finally he sent him 5 tags. It's a total joke because they know full well this area is overrun with deer😆
Yep, had to make my first cut of 2024 today myself (now that the tornado weather has passed lol) it is already heading out which is 2 weeks early for here. If I don't get it down now, it won't be worth baling. Still got corn to get in FFS, if the fields would just dry up a bit & the rain would bugger off for just a week.. Yeah I went with wheel weights instead of calcium chloride after having to replace all the rims on my 184-4. Similar scenario as well, browned everything around the driveshed for about 7 years. Rotted the rims out from inside I guess so 5K later I became a wheel weight endorser. lol
Even though I'm not a farmer I feel the samr way about asking permission from the government to do something on your own land, he it build a building clear trees for a growth plot orl hunting on your land. Don't even get me started on permits for fishing or having to register your trucks every year.
Anyone know what the ,cubic inch displacement, hp, and torque ratings were for the 55 Oliver from the factory ?.. both gas and diesel?…Thanks… I’m not sure how Oliver or any other U S A tractor manufacturer arrived at their given number ratings ? … there must have been set of guidelines to determine said numbers for all tractors … .and somewhere along the line the Nebraska test became prominent …I remember seeing that as a kid… I’m sure in today’s world the legal eagles have gotten a hold of it and given it some legitimacy…well I’ve stirred enough interest…now I’ve got to look into it myself
Welcome to the C;lub........ We have had a Deer problem for Ever.... Cotton Peanuts Soybeans.... Our Depredation permits are easier to come but.... We just call the local Game Warden and he comes by and fills out a report and issues the tags..... Our problem ceased when we stopped planting what they enjoy eating...... Hybrid Bermuda Grass is not high on their Menu.....
Deer usually don't take it right down to the stem they just pick off one or two of the leaves and then it grows right back again every channel I watch I never seen people so afraid of losing a couple of beans or a grain of corn it's impossible to grow acres and acres and not have any loss figured in
Shows what little you know. Then explain why it’s only been the last 2 years that I have seen any significant financial loss from it which also coincides with the massive increase in vehicle deer hits. Which both line up with the deer population exploding exponentially in the entire state because the predator population has decreased to much to keep the deer population managed. Which is why as of this year it is no longer legal to hunt coyote in the state of Michigan so they can try to restore some of that population. And from what the operator at the DNR office told me they are so inundated with block permit requests right now that they have a week backlog to get through before they will even be able to get to me so I’m not the only one having problems. Go back to your basement and do a little research before you try to sound smart again.
So Ethan what do you do to get rid of the old tires how do you get rid of the chloride in them? You could be a tire a guy you did those tires with little trouble.
Just overgrown rats with antlers that end up in your radiator. Been struggling with hay here to. I finally shut wx app off and cut hay. Been lucky so far with only a light shower or two on it. It stsrting to go down and it doesn't dry standing up. Good luck
There is a grain farmer by me who is also a hunter. He would lie about deer damage to shoot a big buck out of season. If he saw one. iIf it didn’t have to be verified.
No it's permission from the state government. But it's there to ensure the population is not decimated. There is science and stuff involved and population Numbers. If every farmer killed every deer in an area the population would suffer which effects adjacent landowners and the residents of the state who hunt. The wildlife is seen as a common thing, no one owns it. If they were goats you kept on your land that were eating your beans then the state wouldn't care if you killed them. But these deer move across property lines. I see your point totally but you have to see the other side of it as well.
You do a good job of keeping them old tractors running I have no tractors in those dark as easy as your old tractors do

Hay is a satisfying crop.
@Oliver66FarmBoy Also the smell of fresh cut hay just soothes the soul.
The garden looks pretty good. It really adds a nice touch to the farm.
Getting machinery prepared in advance is half the battle
Always.
550 looks good with the new shoes!
It’s a super 55

The hay I’m worried about drying is almost 6 feet tall so it could stand to be chewed up a little. Lol
@@Oliver66FarmBoy Holy crap! I think it could be chewed up a lot 🤣 Definitely could be difficult to get material that tall dry.
Love the content of ALL your videos! Doesn’t matter what you drop , it’s always gonna roll under the tractor just out of reach 😅
Thanks.
Good looking tires & rims.
Awesome video!!! Thanks for sharing and your time
Thanks

These weren’t to bad really.
Ethan, looks like you got a quite a bit of work done getting things ready for hey. Thanks Michael
It was a long night.

Looking forward to the hay videos. Tires look great. See you later.
Thanks.
Make that little Oliver with new back tires your new bean planting tractor.
No
Hope your hay goes better than my first cut this year- broken nla part on rake and two flats on rear of tractor
You should do a tractor tour so I can see all of your tractors
I like the idea of plastic boots on the tire irons, I’ve been using masking tape.
I’m pretty sure I have seen guys using them.
Pretty cool looking with new shoes!!

It shouldn’t have to be so hard. By the time they finally come out to look the damage is already done.

I hate loaded tires. First thing we do is get rid of it when a tractor shows up here loaded.
When we cut with the mower the second we were rakingand baling we never used crimper when mowering only behind swather

great video Ethen l will be watchin!!!!!!
Thanks.
Really good for a junkyard tractor!

I think clombious forgot that rake behind and you found it that's pretty old
Do you plan on getting a combined mower conditioner at some point in the future?
You need to make door wider n save your back.
No
Is the Super 55 PTO clutch an over center clutch like the letter series Molines ?

👍👍👏
When you unhook the mower put the bolt in the correct hole, then you will not have to mark it.
Earhan you hve been doing great
Any plans to get the pto working on the 55
When I have time b
You thinking sometime you'll paint them Wheels

We’re just dumb ass farmers and we don’t know anything
AMEN WELL SAID!!!!! AND NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBLE DISEASE THEY BRING TO LIVE STOCK!!!!!
I planted 80 ac of beans last year in south ga ran the combine through 40 ac the rest the deer keep ate down to dirt all year
They also have started to eat cotton in our area we have thermal shots with herds of 70 plus deer in each field every night
So Ethan what do you do to get rid of the old tires how do you get rid of the chloride in them? You could be a tire a guy you did those tires with little trouble.
Chloride goes on the driveway. Tires get burned.
Do you have some emerge pics? How’s it looking?
Get a Canon from dnr to scare them
Are you putting the wheel waist back on the 55
They are on it.
Do what olf do,does it seem to work.
Wouldn't the 77 be a better planter tractor than the 66 ?
No
Lots a stuff to do Farm Boy.
Always.
Just overgrown rats with antlers that end up in your radiator. Been struggling with hay here to. I finally shut wx app off and cut hay. Been lucky so far with only a light shower or two on it. It stsrting to go down and it doesn't dry standing up. Good luck
We have a few good hot days coming up so I’m hoping it will make in 3 days. It’s so damn thick though it’s probably gonna take 4.
Get blood meal and scatter it here and there the deer won't come even close around
Carlstar (the parent of Carlisle) rebranded Carlisle tires to their parent corporation name. After that, they were bought up by Titan.
So they are still American owned?
@@Oliver66FarmBoy I believe so. They also bought the Farm Tire line from Goodyear.
Deer are so annoying but damn they taste good
That’s all they are good for.
There is a grain farmer by me who is also a hunter. He would lie about deer damage to shoot a big buck out of season. If he saw one. iIf it didn’t have to be verified.
I don’t see a problem with that.
Does your dad help you alarm for what exactly does he do is he retired

I see your point totally but you have to see the other side of it as well.
The timing on both tractors are set too far ahead!
Nope
It's called socialism! Kinda like communism, national socialism, liberalism....
Yep
