Been watching you videos for a few week and really like them. As some helpful aid in hooking up drawbar equipment there is typically a pin in the tractor front of drawbar (right in front of rear axial) that you can push up to release the bar so you can move in/out. Older tractors had multiple locations depending on what one was doing. Likewise there are two bolts or pins on either side that lets it swing. This can be handy on heavy hitch equipment. We always had to move the draw bar to connect our old disc first of spring. Be careful that pinot pin hole likes to get fingers.

Here's a trick to getting the pins aligned, tilt your bucket cutting edge down, and when you are close to having the pins right, pick up the front of the tractor slightly, then put the tractor in neutral, you can use the tilt cylinders to fine tune the alignment and drop the pin in.

@Peter Mavus my grandpa had JD drills from the 70’s. The only difference in his and the one in the vid was that the deck you climbed on to load the hoppers was wood, and the seed tubes were metal. My great grandpa had one that belonged to his father as a “lawn decoration” it was mostly made of wood, and was pulled by a horse, but same basic mechanical principal.

You have a very good point about need to be strong to be able to do so much of this farm work. I am a female farmer and also new to farming and I really struggle to physically do so many of the aspects of farming. I know what to do from a technical or logistical perspective but then I can't physically do it. It would behoove a company to start developing tools and equipment that is female-friendly...in other words, a little easier to handle for those with smaller body frames or just not as physically strong as a larger person.

Great info on planting that seed, starting to shape up and I’m almost as happy as you with the progress you’ve made in this short of time. I’m sure this is no surprise to you but if you put your grass seed in a freezer for 24 hours before planting the germination time will be cut in half. Probably not a tip for someone putting down as much seed as you’re planting. God bless.

I planted Berseem clover last fall (likely one of the higher nitrogen producers). I'll cut it and let it reseed. The nitrogen is free...well, almost...you do have to purchase the clover seed. I used a PTO spreader for my 5 acres then set the seed with a chain harrow. My clover is now 16-18 inches high. No livestock for me...just wanted good soil to eventually seed Bermuda into.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer 6 жыл бұрын
Rye grain on the steeper slopes and areas that are prone to washing...it will take root quicker and seed out nicely for dove season in september.....mostly for it's "quick germination" to hold down soil on hilly and steep areas....will go into more detail once the grasses start coming up...I have 1/2 inch sprouts now...it's been 8 days

@johnnyholland8765 6 жыл бұрын
In case you didn't do it (at least on camera)you should always check and make sure your seed tubes are open all the way to the ground. Especially if the drill has sat for an extended amount of time. Trash chaff, spider webs, and "critters" such as your deceased passenger can make homes in them. Haybuster makes one heck of a drill and yours seems to have all the bells and whistles. I have a Great Plains I really like and they are good drills too. Oh and one more little tip..... DON'T BACK UP with it in the ground. With good moisture you will be seeing green very shortly.
