Preparing To Haul Grain in -15 degrees!

and we're back to work we were uh actually just looking at the footage of the tractor tipping off me and eric weren't there when they were trying to load it but you know and quit recording so we apologize about that but it sounded like it got pretty exciting you're gonna show them what kind of happened though well up until dad said what was his words yeah i'm out i'm out quit recording [Music] [Music] anyways 42 30 is uh out of here now we are working on the 450 and not too bad did oil changes fuel filters basically a lot of the filters uh eric's working on a light right now we had to do the bogey wheel oil still and we realized that the turbo is shot when it puked oil all over the side of the engine and on the floor so we got to put a new turbo on i think i think i heard it's twenty one hundred dollars but i suppose that ain't bad since we've literally hardly had any breakdowns with this one in 4 800 hours so yeah so last year we wrote down that the front right uh track seal was leaking some so it's not wet anymore oh it fixed it so well mitch was saying if they sit and then drive or sit and kind of throughout normal operation uh i think something along the lines of oil can leak out but then it settles back down where it's supposed to be i didn't fully understand what he said but in other words it's not an issue yeah that sounds good no but i don't know if someone knows about that or i could just ask mitch's guy that told me already but yeah apparently it's not always i do know that's a complete expensive fix when this seal on the axle goes yeah leaky on us that was that cost us a lot of money last year on the 1 600. well because there was another 600 this year that was slightly wet but maybe it's just doing what they normally do so i'm focusing on important jobs such as maintaining my lawnmower eric it's important it's the grass is going to start growing in a couple months three months yeah he's not wrong on the other concerning fact um i had no trailer lights so i got looking blew a fuse never even seen a fuse like that have to get it from uh value ford and then i put this uh air filter in cold air intake and then that came loose and this fell off and when i opened the hood up eric's like um you don't have an engine air filter attached to your i can't breathe i can't believe someone would run an engine with no filter and there's fuses that are just well you know in the winter there's not much dust going around i suppose bugs oh did that that only fell off a month ago because you i'm sure you checked it well i just did an oil change to this maybe 4 000 miles ago it should be good look at all look at the herd dogs so for the next month or so or until road restrictions go on we will be hauling corn we had a bunch contracted and we have sold some uh cash corn also so we are getting trucks ready we got couple that are in town right now or one in town right now that is being inspected that should be done this afternoon and then we're gonna take and unhook that truck put this truck on that trailer because this is gonna be a lot smoother riding truck for winter roads so we are getting this one road road ready tire's pumped eric is getting the uh purple peat and stainless steel trailer tires pumped also just so that they're ready to go and it's gonna be pretty ugly in the morning like [Music] 15 below zero so hopefully they don't gel up so the fifth wheel plate on this truck we had to slide it all the way to the back to pull our fertilizer trailer but that isn't where the weight needs to be so i gotta slide this back ahead to probably right there i think so i got my handy dandy to come along here it is quite easy to do this when it's hooked up to a trailer if they slide but i don't feel like working in 15 below zero outside right now so we'll just use it come along so so [Applause] see the problem is is the cylinder is extremely sticky and i don't have any air it should be closing right now but it it's not it just needed a love tap and she sprung right open so we are ready now now our weight should be sitting on the truck because you want your axles all to have the correct amount of weight uh otherwise if you get pulled over and they put you on a scale they'll tell you if you had it if i had it slid all the way back my hind end would be way too heavy and there'd be little to no weight up on the front end so that is what this is adjustable for not only that for trailers like our fertilizer trailer that you can't really get it overloaded and the problem was these fenders would and everything else would hit the truck because it's such a short nose on that trailer i don't know is what it is i'm just glad this plate slides because a lot of our trucks they they're like welded with rust do you want to talk about what uh you're doing for the next seven days i'm going to florida are you so excited yeah they called and they're like hey it's not negative 24 degrees down here and i said sold so i don't know if it's gonna be a week or a month when does spring planting start next week okay well then i'll be back in a month oh yeah he's his parents have a house in florida so he's gonna go smooch off mama and daddy a little bit naturally move back into the basement well if it had a basement see down there they don't like building underground it's nothing to do with water and whatnot right rising sea levels so we uh we're going down to the keys though yeah for a few days key west and i have been now i've been decade i've been there before i was nice see when i the people i remember down there that's concerning no i mean they're short speedos because i did pack mine oh that's nobody needs to envision that but yeah last time i was down there 10 15 years ago we went to i think it was called the burger the restaurant and i got a burger first ever i had a burger with an egg on it oh like a breakfast yeah fabulous so i will be finding that same restaurant they better be in business i'm coming back 15 years later return customer there you go tell them about your hawaiian shirts you like so much there's nothing to it besides the fact that i packed seven hawaiian shirts for this trip and some of them are missing buttons due to previous events so when i'm when we're renting mopeds yes we rent mopeds yep and then it's kind of flapping open it's actually probably not a site anyone wants to see but you feel cool while you're doing it it's the sex appeal for you naturally yeah which i guess you know we got to do all we can to keep that appeal up so if anyone sees the big swede down in florida make sure to take a picture for me send it to me so i can blast it over the internet because i'm sure it'll be a sight he blends in so good with the tractor look at that put your hood up all you'll see is legs [Music] okay so we got a light out this one here and they have ballast and what i learned from a john deere which is also goes out they that if you're trying to troubleshoot yeah and you just want to see if one ballast is bad or if it's the bulb or whatever do not have the lights on key on and just swap them because it won't on a john deere it won't suddenly work like it's not a that's not how you test them you gotta cycle the power after plugging in the ballast otherwise it it you could have a perfectly perfectly good ballast and it won't turn the light on i'm learning with everyone else because i've never heard of such things yeah that happened to me on a 96 boy but you really got stumped i i was i'm like well now i got another ballast that's bad and this light was just working so they went another hour and a half and naturally phone calls it was over the dinner break too which you always got to extend it you know they don't make these tracks comfortable so let's do this so we've determined it to not be the ballast and we did it correctly just like the big swede said to naturally so now it uh it apparently is the bulb then huh plus it's white which is probably cheaper so that's a good thing unless it's wiring like you said it might be a rub through you know well the way that this packs in there yeah i wouldn't know why there would be wiring issues i don't know who washes this stuff but it's truly disappointing just gonna unbolt every panel and power wash in there it would be nice but i can just see you with your impact gun and bolts flying everywhere and out in the mud everything would be gone okay i gotta go order some stuff for the sprayer i'm gonna get a flow meter for for the other side here for my my sprayer good my sprayer so then i can have the luxury like you do yeah what did you do with that spare level i had because it's no longer needed when you have the flow meter you know i think that one got ruined and thrown away i think that's what happens at 16 miles an hour oh come on so here's what i got this is on farmchem.com it is a three inch full port manifold flow meter so you basically put this on and i believe they make two inch also you put this on your fill port and it has a digital readout this cover you flip open and it counts how many gallons are going through it as you're filling the sprayer up which will be really nice so then if we make a batch for 1500 gallons we don't even have to know how much is in the sprayer we can just sit on any angle and just watch our fill meter which is very very nice from the last sprayer or the demo sprayer has this on there or one like this and so i am going to order this and i'm also going to say five percent off using the discount code that i will put in the link in the description if you guys want to check this out this sku number is mfm 300 so i'm gonna put together a few things to make this work because this is manifold we have pipe thread so we're threaded so i'm gonna get a few adapters on their website also and uh get it ordered so that when we get the sprayer out of the shed i can install that and it's gonna be well worth it so if you guys are interested farm m.com in the link in the description so i just put larson 22 code in there 50 bucks i just saved so brought my uh total under a thousand bucks proceed to checkout boom done that was my phone that's not good uh normally everything if they have it on hand comes through within a day now with shortages being like everything some stuff can be backordered speaking of farm chem this uh was the last stuff that i ordered if you've seen that video i got a bunch of uh nozzle bodies a few different nozzles to have on hand and a couple other things that i picked up from them this box showed up the next morning i ordered it at three o'clock it was there the next morning at like 11. pretty impressive all right so when we were doing that eric found the issue yeah it's not the ball not the ballast this wire is well they're they're completely tore apart and that's so close to the connector itself that i'm afraid unless we can get them pins out it's a new harness well there goes my 50 bucks i just saved on farm cam yeah and this harness goes to the ballast and i think stuff happens there i don't know though yeah so new harness did you order it no i dropped a phone call in this great metal tin box with the lovely echo okay your voice sounds just as bad on the echo so as everybody knows that this is the tractor that nibbles and nibbles sister brother lover died in so i had somebody message me might have even emailed me to get this stuff you know who you are if if you're the guy but you take this out of here you know if you know you're what's his uh you know i don't know you only know if you know well you know anyways it's some sort of toxic gas that gets released when you put the pellets and water in here in the cab with it running for 45 minutes not when you're sitting in there don't do that in fact just read the instructions yeah it comes with a video but this stuff works pretty good yeah it just smells like uh what did dad say like a nurse in here there's a dog fight there's a dog fight that's called non-consensual [Music] anyways if you got some bad orders in a tractor or something i'd try that because it you don't smell him in there anymore you know what i was don't eat it don't eat it you know what i was thinking though what so after each spring when you're this can be hard to say with straight face after each spring when you're running that 8370 in the bean planter yeah we should maybe just plan to throw one of these cans in there to get your stench out [Applause] boom roasted so we got the little bit of a machinery shuffle here going on dad just got [Music] back with the truck and uh we're gonna unhook it all right they're both ready for morning i believe hopefully they don't gel up so i was concerned we uh never really had too much trouble with that being they sit in a warm shop we do run straight number two which is kind of dumb but yet never had any trouble so let's hope that trend continues if you look closely you can see the big suite doing work as i just got off the phone again oh really yeah yeah yeah yeah you need a you need a pry tool no where's your cry i have just been hitting on the glass yeah that's a good idea so this what do you think of this drain pipe from it's a company on uh instagram springfield colonies makes these drain pans um i do like it it don't work over the pit because obviously the pit wall there's nothing to set this on um there is really no good answer when one of these spokes is straight down this actually works pretty good as long as the spokane straight down then it follows the spoke down but really no matter if you use little tilt cups or whatever nothing really is a good answer there so ideally i do like this thing it takes some finagling to get all the spouts lined up but it works pretty good oh yeah sure beats cups that's for sure yeah so if you guys are interested look him up on instagram or maybe i should just put his email in the link in the description so i don't get 15 emails so i'll do that that sounds like a good idea he's a really nice guy are we gonna load trucks now yeah we gotta load some trucks let's do that temperatures are not pleasant seven degrees the truck says right now and i know that's lying now it's six degrees yep it's dropping those have seen better days well they are kind of wore out but maybe they still need to be burned maybe what brand are you going to go with then i don't know not this one you got to say goodbye because you won't be in the next few videos hey you want to see something cool what this is what he's going to wear in florida that's a new release right so is this this will be out very soon sweet this is a little big for me just a little bit this is the swede size i think that would fit nice i like that color and as soon as the sleeves come off this will be good to go oh and he's got this awesome this is the appropriate time the doggo hat on yeah how about that today is showing off the clothes is that the style you like are these the are your those your church boots yeah i've been doctoring all week and it's only yeah monday tuesday two days of the week have been doctoring yeah i'm to that age and so is she that's what i told them this morning i said well i'm not looking forward to over 50 but maybe it's also good because he never worked i always have the wish that i could work and now i just doctor all right nothing too major though it's just your eyeball right you got two all right all right sign out air thanks for watching [Music] you
