I haul corn to the feed store rather than loading it on a truck, as it gives us a price advantage. Subscribe to How Farms Work ► bit.ly/XYVvDd Facebook ► on. YpS8oH How Farms Work Store ► www.HowFarmsWor...

Thanks a bunch for figuring and showing the math that's involved with the sale of the grain. Realistic and true numbers are nice to see. I'm not a farmer myself, but in the sales market for the farming industry. I enjoy watching how you guys go about your business.

I was pulling our gravity wagon last fall and the drawbar came out of the tractor. Talk about a oh shit moment. I jammed the hitch between the duals and got it to stop just before it went into the ditch. No damage to anything or anyone. Thought about buying a lottery ticket after that!
@forestlawrencegrading91547 жыл бұрын
my dad used to pull three gravity wagons behind a three-quarter ton International with the gravity wagons you can change your alignment on those steering wheels and he found it better to run than towed out a little if you tow them in they'll really get to swinging and of course they get loose overtime but you put your tighter wagons in the front and they all loosey-goosey in the rear

Just a thought, but you might want to check the "toe-in" on the wagon. Toe-in contributes to steering stability, i.e. helps control the "wobbles" you're experiencing. Keep the duals while roading grain is my opinion. You need all the tractor stability and braking power you can get .

You or Travis mentioned buying a bigger wagon. I think that would be a great idea. If nothing else you could save trips over the road. What about the 4020 for the grain cart or maybe it still has the cultivator on it.
@lukestrawwalker6 жыл бұрын
Why don't you pull two gravity boxes hitched together?? That tractor's got plenty of beans and brakes to handle it (even with yall's hills, on the main road at least) and you'd get done a lot faster with a lot less roading wear on your tractor tires. I've pulled 700 or so bushels on a pair of gravity boxes out of the field and up the road to the bins in Indiana for the brother-in-law during harvest, with a Case 2290 tractor that's a lot smaller than that Deere... handled it just fine. He put the bigger boxes with about 1000 bushels of capacity on the 2390 Case tractor, so I know that Deere would handle it. Semi capacity without the semi (but a lot slower than a semi of course... LOL:)) Just wondering... Later! OL J R :)
@franklinbrooks95064 жыл бұрын
If the wobble becomes persistent, load the cart slightly heavier in the front. Just like an arrow, a dart, etc., the rear will obediently trail the fron more consistently.

A dual axel 7 yard dump trailer with brakes and side extensions would also haul skid steer to field.. Dump feature saves rental to hay. Great for logs and limbs to chip and mill for Travis barn. August 19th farm day registration updates. Ever consider hiring Jamie and Brittany to expand grazing via Joel Salitin and Greg Judy grazing practices? Check out Justin Rhodes channel. Dad quits Chick-fil-A to become a farmer. Someone needs to build an Internet hub for pasture raised products connecting buyer to seller around all of the regulations. Sweden. Richard Perkins on utube..model. Seven Sons usa. Be great to see hog panel chicken tractors that double as green house prep gardens and pigs in the woods. Hog panels would be easily used in the calf barn. I was a red wagon driver and loved it. The taste freeze was on the same grounds as the coop.
@eddeetz4937 жыл бұрын
Big ag model with grain prices deflated put non corporate farms out of business. Hire a permaculture and or rotational grazing intern graduate from Joel Salitin farm in Virginia and let him/her rotational mob graze adding animals you don't want to manage. Let them help set up a direct to customer marketing link. Factor acreage rent at highest years return and share profits 50 50. Send cousin to internship. The handsome one or at least he is convinced. lol Travis could use swayles. and Stone overflows to stop rebuilding driveway. Ducks are a hoot and can be herded. Any orchard or garden plans? A,dump trailer is also a great produce and product display. Next year why not raise the chicken and beef for farm day?

Midwest Allis Fan I agree. Gravity wagons are the most efficient way of transporting grain with tractors. You don't have to hook up a million things. Just drop the pin in the drawbar and go. And no hydraulics required to unload. Just put a door down and spin a wheel and you're empty.
