TD25C Clearing Trees for Hay and Pasture

got the turbo unstuck dad's up working on the switch right now i am going to grab a bucket of hydraulic oil put in the tank i know it's a little low stuck a socket on that turbo impeller and it spun pretty easy really once i got it loose then i can spin it by hand so i'm sure it'll spin now shouldn't smoke near as bad okay you want me to turn this and you hold that yeah i'm going to turn that thing away the prongs right straight down to the sideways or does it matter did you notice this whatever whatever gets the wires out of the way the most right there seems like this i feel pretty tight oh well yeah switch is installed turbo's free hopefully maybe no sparks that's a good thing got some throttle position hit the starter so the turbo chargers do all right guys uh nice free standing here in front of it alone though it'll be hot let it run a little bit the tracks might need to be adjusted a little bit later i always go ahead and run them if it's been sitting for a while before i worry about adjusting them uh this one looks good but it depends on how it's sitting sometimes too so we'll see we have to iron it for a little bit we don't really have a whole lot to do because those handful trees i looked at the other day and a little bit of dirt work leveling some stuff out but dad's got to unhook the fence he's got a wire laying on the ground so keep one area hot even if he unhooks the gate but we're going to move that out of the way with this thing because it won't survive this thing running over all right let's get stuff put up out of the way let's get the big score so [Music] [Music] okay so so so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so so he's just trying to knock him dirt off [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] it looks different already [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Applause] all right guys ah that's nice i just covered up the sun ah probably getting ready to rain uh so you guys saw actually over in this corner i cleared those trees over there first then right at the edge of where we're piling these trees was a group of trees i cleared then right in front of the dozer all the way to the woods but had trees in it and then this here this was kind of a meandering wandering ditch been there for years eroded away just a really abrupt ditch so we cut that out turn it into just a nice gradual waterway [Applause] as you can see i took that extra dirt and i pulled it basically there used to be like almost like a berm here and i cut that back and i pulled that dirt over here this over here still has a berm this was there was a program here years ago the guy that owed it previous to us and uh basically that burn kind of keeps the water from from bypassing from from basically cutting straight across this field because there's a creek that runs right along the edge of the field in the woods and this is the bottom field so it'll flood will come across here and then it hits this here it's supposed to go that way so they're just cutting straight across there then obviously this here comes some cows there comes down through here put a little water crossing in here there's one of our waterers [Applause] here's dad and wyatt doing some back dragons smoothing stuff out i got this kind pretty smooth it could be better but there's a lot of sod and stuff so it's hard to kind of clumps up but right now we're gonna go over here a few trees over here some holes out here i'm gonna try to fill as i go but uh the funnel's been on charge so i didn't get a whole lot of footage of us actually doing the dirt work but you guys got to see most of the clearing or at least some of the clearing let's head across the field so good [Music] so got everything thank done [Music] kate's helping mommy give ginger bath hey this is making ginger want to get up and run there we go oh he's getting himself a bat i decided i got the cold packer pull out getting it ready we call the pack every time we plant our hay fields to get it as smooth as possible you'll see i already have some new hoses on here the old hoses are basically all the braids showing i just knew it's just this battery time before they blow so i'd rather do this they don't have the mess i'm not down while i'm trying to roll waiting for a hose to be made so i'm going to process putting those on i gotta tighten these up here on the cylinder i've got two hoses put together and the reason i did that is it's just cheaper and easier to get the hoses if they're a standard length so i have two six foot hoses put in the end to make each of these holes run so there's four six foot hoses and a coupler in the middle also most of the damage happens on the one right here going to the tractor if you turn too sharp and it cuts it on the tongue then you only have to replace this short section hose instead of the entire length of hose if it's one hose so that's why i did that uh i've taken the old ends off the old hose put these ends on there's nothing wrong with with with the ends so i'm going to get some tape on the ends of these hoses put those ends on hook it up to the tractor test it make sure i don't have any leaks and that project will be done then i have one tire over here that needs to be fixed replaced whatever needs to be done to it i'll pull it up to shop put some air in it and we'll see if how bad of a leak it is if it can be fixed or if we need to replace it then i'll grease everything there's not a whole lot of grease zerks on this so yeah let's get to it ah that's pretty easy sure than the last ones all right everything's good got a leak here i wonder why oh look at that well you'd be testing because i forgot to tighten that one we've been checking on the alfalfa phil haven't we cave now we're gonna go check on genji oh down he goes yeah you tell him just the tool for this job right here all right so actually both tires on this side have failed um i say failed we'll check this one out this might be able to be patched it is flat completely this one here still has air in it but if you can i don't if you see it in the camera spinning around here everything's normal keep watching there you see that rib in the middle rise we've slipped a belt so basically from about right here all the way to here actually further back than that but this here is ruined if i was just in the field right here at the house it'd be different but we're going to pull this down the road and i don't feel comfortable with that so we're gonna take both these off i'm gonna put air in this if i find the leak might be able to plug it i don't have a tube let's see that one's gonna get replaced this is gonna at least get patched or replaced so let's get to work maybe are you trying to help me kade you're gonna climb over here and get get me yeah okay we got all the plug nuts off they were pretty stiff but i got it might need a little kick maybe a bigger kick and that i don't want to lose my bolts there it goes everything's harder to do one-handed trying to keep it in the frame all right so there's one off and we gotta get that on see if i can get in here without breaking something and all right we got the second one off put the lug nuts back on there so i don't lose them hold that in the truck take it up to the shop and i'm actually going to put air in this other tire check it for leaks this one here is going to go to town and we're going to get a new tire put on
