Evan, some encouragement. I am in my sixties and have all gone wrong this week alone broke 3 tools, geyser / boiler went, timers blew. I live with diabetes, heart problems and cancer, I have lost most of my sight and my spine and neck is encased in metal. I am not overweight, walked a half and full marathon. I started a urban farm 2 years ago to help those in need, but it seems one step forward and three back. We battle the electricity beast here. Some days 6-8 hours and ot its worst 2 weeks all not because of weather. This week alone 2 days without water. Drink water from the rain catchment army style. Electricity means no internet and solar out of my reach. Every day as I approach the cross I get energy and then get up and go again. Videos and the real you is what inspires me. So thank you so much.🤗🙏🇿🇦

Hey y'all ! Fun video Evan ! A drag harrow would help spread that compost more evenly...just a thought buddy ! And a bit of triple 19 fertilizer with the seed may help...I don't know ..just another idea...we dont have a farm ..we just have property that we plant seed...last year we did sorghum Sudan grass and did the triple 19 with the seed and it grew really well over 8ft tall! Fun times ...deer bedded down in it and bunnies hid in it while it was growing, before we turned it under for enriching our soil ...it was our first attempt at the Sudan grass....have a great day ! 👍

The hay that is not composted yet would make great amendment if spread directly on the field. We feed hay to our stock directly on pasture. The best grass grows where the hay was fed if left to be eaten enough or spread out. It breaks down and is gone before first cutting if you have good active soil life. If you leave it to compost you'll lose more nutrients to the atmosphere.
@kevinbailey9564 Жыл бұрын
Just a guess… but I suspect the grass grows best where the hay was fed mainly due to the “fertilizer” the cows leave behind while eating the hay rather than the contribution of the hay residue that remains on the ground.

My tractors of this vintage all have starting fluid systems built-in, and a block heater plumbed into the coolant, which works much better than the stick-on oil pan options. If you don't have or haven't plugged-in the heater, a 1 second spray of fluid in the top of the air intake, and you'd be off and running without a battery charger of any sort. Thanks for the vid!

You'll probably remove a link in that chain, which most likely is pretty stretched, and the tension will be adjustable again. Watching the spreader (which was a GREAT buy), I think getting a slower bed-feed speed would go a long ways toward controlling the coverage, too. I'm sure you'll engineer some kind of fixes, as you usually do.

@thewayidoit8895 Жыл бұрын
I've got a feeling it's the wrong chain as well. That is a double like chain or whatever. Normally used in light applications like a baler knotter. A couple years back I scrapped a gear box because the spreader was rust and rot. I wouldn't hesitate to use ether to start the tractor. If there's no glow plugs. They make an ether for diesels. Cranking and cranking like that beats the starter and wires and likely washes the cylinders with diesel.

I spent a few hours towing one of those around in my teens (50s-60s). Our farm was on the top of a hill in Central NY. We had a large (for the time) 600+ acre with 70 to 90 milk cows (5 surge milking machines) so our daily "material" we spread was usually fresh from the cows. On that hill the wind was often "brisk" teaching me that no matter how cold the winter wind on that open M tractor, face into it. If you didn't the "material" would catch up to YOU in a most unpleasant manner! You may consider wind direction and speed when you spread that nice dry (comparatively speaking) product. One advantage of that wind was the field very often were swept clean, getting to them was the problem.
