Hi..... Evan thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
If a bale doesn't fall off then you didn't fail. You simply created opportunity for design improvement. Another really fun video to watch. Thanks. 👍👍👍
Move the center link arm to the low position on the tractor. That may give you the tilt up you are looking for when you lift the bale.
You are correct if the tractor has more than 1 hole to connect the upper link arm.
After closer viewing I agree as well.
New subscriber here. Thanks to Pete from Just a few Acres for the referral. We need to get Pete to come visit you for a week. Just think of the jobs and tasks that you two talented individuals could get accomplished. Enjoy the channel very much. Between you and Pete, I will be very entertained, educated and relaxed.
Evan - at LEAST 1/2 of your mistakes are reasons why many of us keep coming back! Seeing you and Pete in Ratoul made my week!
The hay spear was not a failure, it was a success, it worked as it should, now to modify and improve...
Absolutely agree
We both enjoy your show. You and Rebecca both really love the farm and animals. Just letting you know guys and gals love your videos!! Keep up the good work!! It is great to watch.
Looks like it works fine to me. Good job.
its never a fail, its simply an itteration on your path to completion. its part of the joy of creating, nothing is perfect the first time.
Thanks Evan
I believe if you got a hydraulic topper link, you would be able to go in and then hydraulically tilt it up
I was just going to say the same thing.
Was going to say the same thing. Having a hydraulic 3rd link would be the ticket.
Ditto
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
We have used a hydrualic cylinder as the top link when using a 3-point bale mover. It allows you to angle the spear to pierce bale at the correct angle similarly to the loader. Then you can angle the spear up at the back once you raise the 3-point to help keep the bale in place.
Thanks Evan for the video love it .
I love to watch you working the tractors ❤
Try moving your third link down to a lower position on the tractor and shorten it so implement is level when it’s lowered, it should tip up when you raise it that way
Evan, before you go thru the work of remanning the hay spear play around with the top link geometry a little to see if will do what you want. ie. shorten the top link or change the pin location to a different hole on the tractor. It might be enough. You may have done that off camera but if not give it a shot. Looks great and got the job done as is so not a failure at all.
I think that rear hay spear is just fine. Mine does that too, and thats factory!
You'll get the rear bail lift figured out and it will work great for you. Thanks for sharing and keep the smile going. Fred.
New to the channel and like what I see. Good videos.
Rear spear version one was awesome. Loved it
Thank you so much for sharing 👍
Put a hydraulic center link on the 3-point then you won’t have to rework the 3-point bale carrier.
We truly enjoy watching all your video’s too.
No comment on the grass...I know all too well. That firewood shed could use some love though. Might want to get on that one and make sure to get everything split and ready for fall/winter. I think it should be doable for a man with your skills... just got to make the time.
smooth operator
Thx
You are a pretty good Welder for a Maintenance man! LOL!I became a welder when our factory union shop went on strike!
Hey, your doing it. Good for you. I'm liking that TYM tractor.
The top link of your 3-pt hitch is adjustable on the tractor. Moving the pivot down to a lower setting on the tractor will do the same as making the pivot on the attachment higher...
Readjust your top link positions would probably work good. You didn’t drop any bales, “winner-winner chicken dinner “!
I really enjoy watching your stories and I’ve learned alot about cycle mowers and hay binders from you.
Hope the pond is clearing up.
God bless you and your family.
just cut the tubing an add another piece of tubing but on the other hand it looks an works great love to watch you build from scratch reminds me of the way it used to be
Evan lengthen the top link it will make the spike tilt forward, keep the videos coming they're great.
Try using the bottom top link slot on the tractor. On my case 830 my spear is taller but using the bottom slot gives me the angle when picking a bale, same as post hole digger.
Always make me smile
This was a great video tonight ! 😂 thanks for sharing with us !
thx again
Your very talented
Nice job Evan
Hay Evan that was a good built doe's the job you dont have to re do anything to it but if you want you can works fine no matter what thanks for sharing blessings
A hydraulic top link would be a good fix. You can use it for other implements as well.
Yep, hydraulic top link was one of the best enhancements I’ve ever made. Would never not have one now. Even a cheap Amazon special WELL worth the money!
Just make the spear a foot longer than your bale is wide. It sags now because it runs out of spear, at least that's what it looks like. I enjoy your videos.
Just add a cylinder to the top link and hook it up to your rear hydraulic connections that way it will tilt forward. I really think it will work better than raising the top link up higher. Good luck!!!!
Evan, you took care of the tree in the road like I would: get out there, do a little community service, and do it yourself, and not sit around and wait for the township or county maintenance to do it. That's how things are supposed to get done in rural communities. Thank you for doing it, and for showing it on your video!
Sorry it s not a fail , you are learning and doing a great job, All tools need to be adjusted some times, I sure wished I got to drive a tractor again I miss it so much , so I drive with you LOL
Yes , you are right ! A few adjustments and the new spear will work perfectly for you !!!!!! Thanks for bringing us along with you on your journey and we are on your side for the win !!!!! We love you all , thanks again 😂❤!
Adjust your top link more you had a little more adjustment
You can salvage it easily. Just cut the tabs off rotate 90 degrees and weider back on . This will bring the point up and you will be able to adjust the corner arm. Rick
Just ad a hydrolic top link. Plus it's always awesome to have a hydrolic top link.
Hay spear seem to work fine to me!!
The hay spear looks great and is functional I'd run with it.
It works. Therefore it is not a fail. Do not be so hard on yourself brother. Wisdom gained for the future.
Good job.
A big Amen on ready for fall 👏🍁🍂🍁
If your tractor is anything like my LS, there are 3 holes on the top link mount on tractor end. Set it in bottom hole, then your spear will tip back when in the up position. Just level your spread when it's in the lowered position
Buy a cylinder center link then you can tilt the bale back! Top and tilt kits are handy for a few implements.
Changing the geometry of the spear will definitely fix the functionality. You might also want to look into a hydraulic top link to aid in adjustability of some implements.
You need a hydraulic top link then you can tilt the bail back 👍
Hello Evan I think nice build dont think a fail. Use a hydraulic cylinder as the top link and you can tilt down when pick up then tilt up when inserted in bale. Have a great day.
Just make life a lot easier get a hydraulic third link works great and you can adjusted to any angle you like
Evan, Thank you so much for showing your mistakes! Showing us reality instead of CZcams perfect is such a nice change. Keeps me coming back for every video! Always learn something and enjoy watching you learn as you go! Keep it coming!
A hydraulic top link is the best investment I've ever made and it's a game changer. I use mine for instance adjustments on box blades, boom poles, dirt scoops, bush hog, and more.
Whatever angle you make the hay spear, that's the angle it'll keep. You'll need a hydraulic ram as the top point, if you want to tilt the bale.
Good job but I'm only here to watch you break stuff. 😜
Evan just try moving the top link to the bottom hole on the tractor , this all so works good for the brush hog
Just a piece of advice on the sheep hay feeder you might want to get a sheep panel or one with small holes to line the feeder with. It will keep them from pulling hay out and wasting it. And also when they lamb be careful about putting hay in the feeder the sheep will lay under it where it is warm and smush there lambs. Not telling you what to do but just a few things we have learned while raising sheep. Always enjoy the videos.
Suggestion go to dealer and buy the pre made 3 'ointment lower bar that goes between the 3 point lift bars and bolt spears on to it now just attachment for top link
your welding skill has improved a good bit, u need a shorter top link and it will work just fine
Outstanding!!!
Great work Evan!
I use an hydraulic top link.. a bit costly - but its quite helpful to adjust implements
If it picked up the bail and it didn't fall off bouncing across the field.. it's a win 👍
My top link mounts to the top of the implement and it basically keeps it level when lifted.
You could always put on an hydraulic top link. Then tip it back after you pick it up.
It's a job to keep 40 acres groomed. We used to have 211 and now in my 70's it's getting difficult with 42. Hang in there 💪👍
Me to . I'm aging in dog years. I wish I would have taken better care of my knees.
Enjoyed
Hey Evan just extend your bottomplates where your 3 point arms connect , might be easier than extending the top. Great videos!
Love the photography. Now I see you at the barn door, now your on the tractor.
Especially cool was dropping the bail from the rear and immediately picking it with the front spear.
Really enjoyed this one Evan !!! Being able to make your on implements is a real blessing. I think making that one piece higher will do the job 👍. Then adjust your top link so it tilts back. What color are you gonna paint her ?? Oh… I’m anxious to hear what your buddy from the tractor show said about your pond. He seemed like a wise man !!!
Remember what Pete said, it's what you did right today, not what you did wrong. It's a learning experience!
Funny, I read this title quickly and thought "didn't you just deconstruct your 3 point bale spear, now you are making another?"
Where are the pups? Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
You should get a hydraulic top link. You won,t regret it!
141 K subs way to go
Yeah, I've had that same issue building a bale spear. I fixed it by adding a hydraulic top link, trust me its the way to go.
You are correct, your top link should be lower on the spear bracket. Good luck!
Raising the mounts will help but you can try shortening the third link. I noticed that you didn’t have a lot of distance but evert bit helps raise the angle of the spike
Just adjust your top link. As long as bales don’t fall off you are ok. My bale spear always does that and it is the adjustment in the top link.
Evan, it might be easier to leave your tabs and bale spear where they are, cut the vertical square tube between the spear and the bottom horizontal bar and splice in an extension however long you need. Then you can shore up the extension with metal plate on the outside if needed. Just a thought
Take your top leank and bring it in so the hay spear is pointing upward a little bit mine does the same thing and I bought mine from Tractor Supply
Looks good, if they fall off then fix. If not don’t worry about it
A remote controlled door opener would be handy on that hayshed
Evan, you have some talent in the shop! And I really do love that little tractor. It’s got so many uses around the farm.
Just subscribed. Watched your recent problem instead of cutting of all the welds just cut the square tube just under the top brackets and add a piece of square tube in. Always fit first and weld last, enjoyed watching your video, saw you with Peter. Good luck
This year in our area every one is getting 30% off the field. A friend usually gets 200 rounds this year they had 67. So I ended up buying a flat of hay cubes. It should keep my animals over winter and I did get a few rounds ( 3 ) so I can give them some hay bags to keep them busy between feeding. I only have a horse a mini horse and a goat. The goat will get pelleted feed. I nursed an old horse on hay cubes over winter so it should be fine. I'll need to get a heated bucket for very cold days. We do get -35c or less. Will be an interesting year ;) I'm hoping to find a second cut and get a few more, but my petting zoo isn't high on any ones list, & I get that. Some ones lively hood is more important for sure. I can do buckets of slop ;) My winter area is right out my back door lol
position the main spear bar UP at at a 30-45 degree angle as you lift it will angle up.
Always learning lessons. You guys have accomplished so much on that property. 💖💖🎶🎶
Nice build. Maybe make a shorter top link. Keep on keeping on.
You might play with adjustments on your top link and lift arms and see it that helps. That’s what we have to do to our tractor because it sets high like yours
Evan, your channel has turned into my favorite. You are genuine, and you aren't afraid to try things and show the results, good or bad. Keep it up. Thank you.
Try moving your top link on the tractor side down. I thought I saw two more holes. Good job.
You've got more (shortening) adjustment on your toplink turnbuckle. I'd try that before getting back into cutting/welding...
Try a shorter top link. I had to do that with the carry all when I use it on my Allis Chalmers B. It's easier than re-engineering the whole thing.
The comment about why can’t you keep this 41 acres groomed like somebody’s yard had me rolling haha. I have 1.5 acres and it’s a lot of work. I can’t imagine 41
Evan, simply adjust your top link to make it shorter and that will raise the end of the bale spear. I don't think you failed at all.
Can you just shorten the upper adjustment bar? Seems like that would have the same affect. Anyways I think it was well crafted. Thanks for sharing! Cool too that you got to meet Pete! I didn’t comment on the farm show video. He’s a pretty cool guy!
