Thanks bud!

Usually we get about 18 small bales from a round bale. Sometimes that number can vary based on how short the hay is.

I definitely do. But the funds for that are not sufficient at this point in time. Also that shop has been the home of those tractors for many years and was the shop that my Grandpa and Great grandpa also worked out of.

Thank you! You too!

Thanks bud!

Thank you!!

Thank you! You too!

Thanks bud!!

I don’t think they made a turbo for that engine.

Thank you very much!!

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll try to slow down a little.

Thanks man!! I’m so glad you were able to join us!

I’m guessing the reason they don’t is because there probably isn’t a big demand for them since most People started only running Gasoline.

It has roughly 10,000 hours on it between two tachometers.

Thank you! We try our best to keep them running strong. Since this video we have bought a 2nd 757 Ztrak Zero turn mower.

Yes indeed! These sleds were ahead of their time. My Dad’s cousins rode those sleds back in the day too.

As much as I would love to put a turbo on those tractors. It’s just not something that I want to modify on them at this point. I’m trying to keep stuff like that original.

After running it some more I’m pretty sure the oiler does work. And also cause the guy who we bought it from said to start out by running premixed oil and gas.

@@CanfieldFamilyFarm Might wanna Pull the Carbs and Visably check that there's oil coming out on both sides, the orifices are so small they clog pretty easy, easiest if you pull the spark plugs out and spin it over with the recoil or with a drill on the clutch.

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to look into that!

Me too

Yep! Although I personally think the Liquifire looks better than the invader.

Nope, Deere made their own sleds in horicon. The only thing it has in common with the invader is the 440 kawi motor.. and the 295 in the 300 is a kiortz engine

We actually did not. We bought it from a company in Georgia called Simpco. They build hay conveyors and round bale unrollers.

So back when I started this project I looked all over for brand new pistons and sleeves. And I. Found that no one makes then. So we found a guy who had a set of new old stock pistons and sleeves for sale and we bought them off of him. I would recommend seeing if you can get any old sleeves you have polished and honed. Pistons can be an easy find after that. Every other part I got was from either Steiner tractor parts or rice equipment.

The Lemken is 13 feet wide.

@@CanfieldFamilyFarm is the tractor correctly sized for it? I have a Heliodor 9/350 and tractor shopping. Worried I'm going too small.

@@oddione​​⁠The tractor we’re running it with is a John Deere 8310 and it’s a 205 horsepower tractor. It works well for the job. It could definitely be weighted down heavier in the front but in order to do that would require a 3 point on the front. A slightly bigger tractor would definitely be a good option also!

@@CanfieldFamilyFarm and Lemken says 88-140HP for a 3.5 meter!

Just depends how deep and what sort of ground work you want to do. We have a heliodor 9/700 three point. It's all our 8100 can lift with a full rack of weights on front. We're only working 3 to 4 inches deep on untilled ground at 6.5 to 7.5 mph. On worked ground you can go faster, but 13th gear is an odd shift.

Yep! It’s been a long journey to rebuild and clean up!

Thanks man!!

I’ve since removed the paint from the sidewalls.
