I lovce your son's participation in what you are doing. Nice to see that you show us where you have challenges.
I love mine. Had some trouble with the seat. Mechanically it is a beast.
Been resurrecting my grandfather's farm, this video was beyond needed
We had a massive 12 m I had a three bet. I think there was a five maybe worked on all kinds of bait through the years.
You might find this this amazing but in the 80's my parents and I made easy 1000 bales in a day with one of these.
Thanks for the information on the service job. Very good job explaining it and very helpful.
It’s Payton coys little sister
You are lucky to have a son interested in helping you with this project. I appreciate learning with you while you go. Thank you! Good luck with your greenhouse. My good things always grow.
My husband just got a MF model 12 working that we found in a barn for 20+ years. If i sent you a pic of the counter could you tell me if its missing something. 😊
I will try, the counter, I think you mean what tells it when to tie… it is approx 4 inches round with large spike looking very thin and it rolls on top of the bail as it pushes out. The spikes roll along the bale and it attached to an arm like that after so many rotations it get to a spot that tells it to tie. This arm is adjustable to change your bail length. I can send a picture when I go back down to my buddies house where it is…
I was talking about the counter on how many bales it made. It's on the side. For sitting in a barn for 20+ years, my husband got it going a couple glitches. When we started, when the arm goes around, it didn't hit the wire on the counter. I wasn't sure if it's missing something.about every 10 bales One side of the knotter doesn't come off, and we stop and clean the twine off, then start again. This baler has an international motor on top of it .
Awesome! I have an older pretty big hobart, great welder for big stuff, but it keeps jamming the wire inside the machine. I didn't even think about the inner sleeve until I seen this video! Great idea to go and look. Thank you!! I couldnt find your second video to see what your issue was, but it will keep looking! Thanks for the video!
Wow great
Also . Mathew is the helper all misthaps are on the mechanic
Maybe remount the jig at an angle sufficient to complete the bind
Hello, can you communicate via Facebook for explanation?
Proud Momma & Poppa
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
The Tin Barn, Appreciate you continuing to watch and commenting, Thank you hope you have a great 2023!!!
Nice Farm 💪
Thank you very much Skambantys Kaulai, Appreciate you watching and commenting.
Southern middle Tennessee. 6:45 am -2 with -18 windchill. About 1/2 inch of snow on ground
Back Achers Homestead, Thank you for commenting, we also say some negative air temps with -20's wind chills, that was rough for this area. Thank you for your support watching and commenting.
WHAT WE WANT (since you offered): * Interview that "hard worker" of yours and let him explain what he does and how he does it and what he's learned from Dad & Mom... and the value of hard work!!! Amen Retired, Veteran
Mr. Bowen, Your requested video is coming, Matthew read your request and has recorded his video, so I just have to put it together and upload, so it should be coming in the next week or so. Thank you for commenting.
@@busybeefarms5929 Happy New Year and thanks for the feedback... most appreciated. That's awesome that Matthew has done a video... hopefully everyone will like it and it starts him on a "new path" for his future. We have four grown children and they're all hard workers! God Bless You All Amen Retired, Veteran
How often do turkey lay eggs? How old do they have to be to start laying?
Good morning The Tin Barn for the comment/question, I can not say for sure, I can remember as a teenager my grandfather had turkeys that laid eggs, seems like I remember they only got a few a month, those turkeys were not nice, the Tom would attack if you went in their pen… Ours are a different breed, farm turkeys/meat bird… they are friendly, and actually want you to come and interact with them… They are large and intimidating at times, ours are less than 6 months old (best I remember) and they have not laid any eggs as of yet. I know with wild turkeys, they only lay eggs after mating and that is twice a year. Spring/Fall. I will for sure do a video on the first Turkey egg whenever that happens. Thank you for continuing to watch/support our channel.
My father used to own one of these. To the best of my knowledge, there should be a couple of grease point on the back/bottom of the pickup too. Somewhere under the twine storage space. Might be you need to rotate the pickup to get them visible.
Thank you sir for the comment, I will look for this.
Sorry to hear Chippy didn't survive... but he had a great life!
Thank you Tin Barn, e try to give our animals the best life we can… thank you for watching and commenting
Sorry for your loss of Chippy. Loved the memory clips of your four legged companion.
Thank you Mr. Mike Ming for the continued support by watching and commenting. We loved Chippy, still hurts. Appreciate your support
Sorry to hear this. My wife had a small goat that happened to also. Nothing could be done to save him.
Thank you Back Achers Homestead for watching and commenting, sorry you also had a loss like this… Thank you for the support by watching and commenting
David, Thanks for the Turkey Update.
Thank you Mr. Ming for continuing to watch and encouraging!!!
What do you use to pick up the bales?
Well, I usually get Laura or Olivia to drive my truck with trailer and Matthew and I walk and pick them up and stack on trailer
I really appreciate your videos, thanks
Thank you for watching, subscribing and commenting. Hope this helps you to make great salsa :)
We have a nearly identical baler, we bought it new in 1973. So I think yours is a bit newer than you think.
I read somewhere online 1965, but you are probably right, I’m amazed at how well it does for its age. You don’t buy anything made like that anymore… Thank you for watching and commenting
What do you do with the hay? Seems like you probably have more than your goats could eat.
We use it for our goats and pigs, also my friend Russell (his Farm), I also use it sometimes as straw when I'm diggin.... Thank you for the comment/question.
Come this winter, the Lord will take care of taking away the goat's water, as in freezing it.
WELL Mr. Tin Barn, I was hopeful also however the Artic Blast proved that they are not going to use it on their own, 3 times a day down there chopping ice in a 1/2 55 gal drum. Thank you for always commenting.
Did they say how easy it would be to train Max to use the Drinking Post? Please let us know how long it takes, for him and the goats.
Thank you Tin Barn for the question, Drinking Post does not say that the automatic watering system is compatible with Dogs, however there are a few success stories on their webpage talking about dogs being able to learn and use the Drinking Post. I can tell you that Max was the first to drink out of it and he knows that is fresh water, when we go down he will come to it and want that water, he just hasn't been able to figure out the paddle. I recently read a comment on their webpage talking about a barn cat that was using the Drinking Post... I think it will just talk time for Max to figure it out and use it. The biggest challenge will be convincing Laura to take away all other water sources, to "Train" the goats to go to it. She will worry herself to death to do that... Thank you for watching and commenting.
Laura, interesting video, but... why is the chicken tractor called a "tractor?" I searched and found a lot of plans, but no explanation. Guess I need to search more.
A chicken tractor is a chicken coop on wheels that moves around your pasture or backyard every day. It's called a chicken tractor because the birds loosen up the top inch or so of earth underneath the moving coop… much like a regular tractor. "TheLandConnection.org" This is what I found as to why its called a tractor... I call it a tractor bc thats what I was taught its called...lol Thank you for watching and commenting.
the three turntable fittings. How do you know when to stop pushing grease in? same for all three? Thanks & cheers from Louisiana.
I think your asking about the drive gear oil- 90 weight gear oil. There are 3, two of them line up 90 deg from the third, one is dead center of the drive motor, I turn one straight down and that puts one 90 deg to the left or right of the center, after drain, plug the bottom, and add the oil in the center until it comes out the one horizonal, then plug the other two and your done... Hope this helps.
That grading bucket looks like the ticket! I have a ditch to dig along the roads in front of our house, but I have to do it with the 1025R and a back blade and/or box blade.
Good Morning Mr. Tin Barn, Deere makes good equipment and you know that I run a Deere 997 and LOVE it. I'm sure your project will turn out great... Thank you for the comment
Wish we had soil that looked that good! We doubled our garden size this year because the rocks grow faster then the plants. Maybe we can get a decent amount of food this year. If not I can gravel my drive.
Good Morning Back Achers Homestead, you know here in TN we grow rocks the best...LOL Matthew has worked hard raking and picking up rocks EVERYtime I till the ground... I also add mulched leaves in the fall and let them decompose into the garden area. Just keep up with picking up rocks and putting them into those areas that we all have that wash out, I use them to slow water down where its washing to help stop the erosion. Thank you for watching and commenting
... oh, the video was flawless this time.
Thank you for letting me know there was a problem with it.
I like how the whole family is involved with planting, and tending, your garden... "Many hands make for quick work!"
Thank you for the comment, Matthew is always willing to help, Olivia most times it more like hearding cats to get help, but it teaching still... THANK YOU for always watching and commenting, glad to know someone is enjoying what we put out.
Nah never use 20' pipe always better to use the 10' pipe My bender's are mounted on my shop wall about 10 inches taller than iam so at 6'11" off the floor and works perfect I have a 20,14 ,12 and 10 ft bender's But i only use the 10 if they request 1 3/8 galvanized pipe Any greenhouses 10 or 8 ft wide i normally talk them into a cattle panel greenhouse because most of my clients wanting a house that size are residential home owners
Thanks for sharing
Laura sounds excited abut the chicks. Loved the " Background Little Voice " Caretaking one of God's little ones is a mission in itself.
Good Morning Mr. Ming, we so enjoying getting feedback, and you are always there encouraging us... Laura loves teaching and taking care of our little buddy, he's getting so big so fast. Thank you for the comment
I'm looking at buying a used Hardy heater. I'm going to look at it tomorrow. I'm wondering, have you ever had to replace anything on your stove in all the years you've had it? It seems like you haven't ever had any leaks or anything like that?
Over the last 20 years I have replaced the Blower Motor 3 times and Last year I had to replace the Water pump. All was not bad... Good Luck with your heater.
@@busybeefarms5929 Thank you! That's not bad at all.
I'm looking forward to seeing you trim the hooves, interestig!
I love seeing your interaction with your animals. Hope to see you trimming the hooves.
Thank you for the encouragement sir
An exciting time!! Good feeling being ready for the growing season! Have a blessed day! - Samuel
Thank you Samuel for watching and the words of encouragement.
You all have me looking forward more and more to farm life! I enjoyed the segment on your outdoor burner! Does that model heat your water as well? How have you liked it so far? I’m not very educated on the outdoor burners yet. - Samuel
Thank you for the question, our Outdoor Wood Furnace is a Hardy, which recently went out of business, we have used it for 20 years, and love it… yes it heats out hot water as well… Farm life is demanding, but very very satisfying and worth it, I still work 5-6 days a week, hope someday I can farm every day…. Thank you for watching and commenting
Good to see you back... more regularly. I hope y'all have a bang-up season this year, I know there were a few let-downs last year... pumpkins for one.
Thank you for the comment, yes the full size pumpkins were a disappointment, loved the little ones.... Hope its a better growing season, and we do a good job to get good results. Thank you for sticking with us.
It amazes me how many folks overlook maintenance. They just keep putting it off, and off, AND OFF! . . . until it’s too late. Good job on the video. I have a KX myself. Just subscribed to the channel! I look forward to more videos! - Samuel
Thank you Sir for the encouragement and subscribing!!!
@@busybeefarms5929 👍🏻👍🏻
Good to see y'all active on the farm again. At what point do you till in the manure? Now or when ready to plant?
I will let it soak in for a bit and if we get any dry days I might till it in. Thank you for the comment
Great to see you Laura and young lady.
Thank you A Taylor, glad you guys are following
Would love to stop by there someday. Hope y’all are doing well
Thank you Jared, we would love to have you down.
Glad your posting, again. Did you happen to find some seed for full-size pumpkins? How do you pollinate plants in the hothouse, introduce bees?
Yes sir we did, also medium size… as for pollinate in the greenhouse… I’m assuming you’re asking about those tomatoes, I did not ask Baker Creek being it was so cold, Honey bees will be in cluster, they will only break cluster and fly out of the hive when the temp is above 55, I did see they had lady bugs in the green house, which would be to combat aphids, they love to eat them… I know lady bugs don’t pollinate, so I’m not sure if they are doing some type of manual pollination… Spring time during the day you would have the side up and being warm, the bees would make their way in… SO, to answer your question, I’m not sure in the 40’s hope they were pollinating those tomatoes, I did not see any bees… Thank you for the question and comments
