Same problem. Ran out of water, dug a couple holes a month ago, but this 3 inches of rain filled them a third up. So I could quit pumping water out of a muskeg lake into troughs once a day. Always a fight of some sort. They have lots of grass there so I was reluctant to move them.
If a crane hits a high power line the worker on the ground gets electrocuted and the operator is usually ok. At the museum of science in Boston Ma.if your hit by lightening there is a thing called the cage effect, as long as you don’t reach outside the cage you will not be electrocuted. In your case the cab is your cage, so if you ever hit a power line stay inside the cab.
Yes. A Faraday cage. If the equipment (hoe) is properly grounded then all that metal is to its advantage in carrying a lightning strike safely to earth without harming anyone/anything within the cage. It's safer than being on foot nearby.
Thanks for the video, Tyson. That's a good looking pond and should really help water the cattle. You dug it at a great time before the rain came. I think that getting out of the excavator when there is lightning nearby is a good idea! Pretty powerful stuff! Have a great week! 😀
Little or no pasture is a big problem but no water makes for a large amount of work. Hauling water to cows is nothing but work. Hope u get enough rain to at least rejuvenate some grass
Glad to see you all finally got rain, it rained here in eastern Pennsylvania for weeks straight! We finally finished first and second cut all in the same week lol And I believe I had seen the back of the 4994 in the yard in the beginning of the video! Hoping to see a video of that Beauty!! Keep up the excellent videos 😀👍👍
Good to see the water hole filling up!! Rain, what's that?? So damn dry here, the weeds don't even want to grow.. But it's been good for making hay, just gotta bale early in the morning, before it gets too dry to make a bale. Lightning and tracked machines don't mix well..
Good day Tyson My thinking is cattle are bored like people, same think all the time, check out something new. When I am out driving see cattle horses standing looking bored, I blow horn to change there attitude My dad always thought water on farm or pond was a good thing Good luck Thanks
U need to try to divine for water. I can do it I just use weldin rods. Bend them over. Just hold them slack in ur hands an walk about wer u think Ther cud b spring an if they cross over it shud b a spring. But with me the rods spin like helicopter an if they just cross it’s normally a water pipe. That’s the best way to test if u can do it. Go to somewer wer u no tber is a water pipe an walk over it an if they cross u can do it. Not everyone can do it. I am the only one in my house can do it
That looks like a pretty new machine. Why are your bucket and stick so sloppy side to side? Pin bushings worn out? My hoe doesn't wiggle at all like that and it has some battle scars.
Glad to see you guys got some rain, we have been getting a lot near Legal heavy downpours 5 inches at a time, makes for poor haying weather, but at least things are green!!!
Looks like your thumb is a bit beat up eh? My kid and I watch your videos and he said "that claw is bent" lol. Track hoes are so handy to have. Did you hire out the truck?
@@Northern_Farmer no problem about the thumb Tyson. Keep up the great content. I know this is a weird question (and I have no other way to reach you), but if I ever come up north, do you think my two sons could get a ride in either of those two big boy tractors you have? They would be thrilled more than you can imagine!
Your timing for digging out the dug out was perfect. Hopefully the newly deeper dug out holds through dry and wet years. Best of luck.
Yea they didn't predict that much rain until the morning
Hey Tyson I seen in the background of your video a 2290 or 2090 would you sell that tractor ?
Great job Tyson running the excavator
Another great job
Great to see you got 4 in .....of coarse we got more rain than we need in haying season here in Ont.
High aTyson from Aberdeenshire Scotland 🏴 good to see a new video it’s 10-22 pm here
It's 3:25 pm
Glad you got rain Ty ,we are sitting on inch and a half since the snow left
Yea we were at 2
Same as us here in MN corn burning up

Yea they all filled up nicely...should be good now till fall
Good rain and glad you got it. 👍👍
Good stuff
Tyson you are the man so resourfull, all a farmer needs you have it
Looks good
Sure hope you get the rain you need Tyson we are getting plenty here as it's raining almost every other day. p.s. really like your hooded sweatshirt
Always love to see your videos ty
Thanks
Pond will be a good asset for years to come. Glad you got some rain!!
Great video Tyson
Your dugout fix whent way better then mine. Started out good, then I buried my little 850 case dozer lol.
I probably would have done the same

@@puirYorick Thank you nice addition, I’m 73 it was a long time ago since we took our children to the museum.
Glad you got a good rain finally. Maybe make you some second cutting
I hope so too
Good stuff Tyler

It's greened up a bit already

Looks good 👍
Rain would be nice. But getting too late for that now for the crops. Pastures and hayland will benefit
Yea lots of my crops are ready to go in 2 weeks
Hey Tyson, it's been raining here in Boyle for the last two days. We arrived here on Sunday. We got grass hoppers down here too. Take care
Yea I think we git the least amount of rain in Alberta
Way to go Tyson, government, don't care, we need to survive, stay safe buddy.
Rough stuff hopefully you get more rain lord knows we all need it
Usually 4 inches if rain and there would be water everywhere..not this time
Lol usually wait until the end at least to comment great u got 4 inches.
4 inches of rain!! You must be living right.
That's the least out of anywhere around gere
@@Northern_Farmer wow, nothing here but the occasional thunder shower
Good day Tyson My thinking is cattle are bored like people, same think all the time, check out something new.
When I am out driving see cattle horses standing looking bored, I blow horn to change there attitude
My dad always thought water on farm or pond was a good thing
Good luck Thanks
These dug outs need to be fenced in at least with electric wire. Cows get in the water and turn it into swill.
And a solar pump
Sure, if you have one?@@Northern_Farmer
Wow, you got in one shot what our total for the year is, guys less than 10 miles away have less than one tho
I saw u comment that you had 4 inches of rain
Yup
@@Northern_Farmer hope u get another batch of hay
How many acres of land do you have??
The fingers on the thumb have been bent for a few years. Can you get the mute one to bend then back straight.
One of these days

How the heck did you guys bend the thumb like that? Hope you get rain for the cows.
I never lol..I bought it like that
Are you working on the hill?
Yup
You shouldn't have to worry about cows getting stuck in the sand.
That looks like a pretty new machine. Why are your bucket and stick so sloppy side to side? Pin bushings worn out? My hoe doesn't wiggle at all like that and it has some battle scars.
It's a 94...it's been painted ...but yea the pins have some wear
@@Northern_Farmer Ok. That makes sense. Mine is a 2007. Yours looks great!
@jasonm8376 yup...I bought with the bucket like that to...but it doesn't matter I'll get another one

@@jarrettfullerton2580 send me a message on my email ty_k9@hotmail.com
Where are your bucket teeth?
Never were there
Put some new teeth on that poor thing lol
To late for that now...the rest of the bucket is in poor shape
No teeth on the bucket just ruin the bucket huh
It was like that when I bought it...was to late for teeth
@Northern_Farmer you can weld some on if you ever dig rock.
