Brookdale Farm
Австралия
Добавлен 20 авг 2020
We are a small wheat and sheep farm on the edge of the Western Australian wheat belt. All the machinery that we use daily is old. We have a collection of vintage machinery that we are slowly restoring and work in a museum looking after and restoring tractors.

Repairing the hydraulic density control on the hay baler.
Просмотров 47114 дней назад
In this video we are repairing the leaking hydraulic ram on our New Holland 317 hay baler. The baler has been leaking oil for a while and although it dosent realy cause an issue, it annoys me to see it leaking. The parts for this repair cost $25. I spend almost that much on oil for it every year. If you wish to purchase our new merchandise go to www.redbubble.com/people/BrookdaleFarm/explore?as...

Triple McCormack super WD 9 tractor
That green machine is the most modern thing I have seen on this channel. Keep them coming Geoffrey good man
Great machine Geoffrey, but is that tractor still under warranty, looks a bit new compared to the Fordson. Cheers mate.
Clever invention.
Brillant machine
Thank you from Salem Oregon. I'll be changing all my Troopy's wheel bearings soon.
They never started that well even in the sixty so nothings changed
Looks like fun. If you want rain just make sure you have hay laying, clouds and rain just appear. 😂
Great job on the Fordson, but couldn't help but notice the film crew vehicle was blowing a bit of smoke, could be your next job. The dogs got their daily workout, so they should be fit as a fiddle. Cheers
And once again it just proves you don't need mega expensive machines to make good hay
She doesn't seem to run too bad once it's up and running
That looks like a good job for a retiree
What a unit top.gear. plowing gears very slow
What fuel were you using
Same clutch problem as model F
Clutch draging
I missed the O on steel.
I am amazed at how fast the ground speed of that Fordson, I have seen them in USA n steel very slow.
Rollabar rakes do a fantastic job. And you can pull them with any tractor or Ute. I did enjoy seeing the Fordson in action. I recon it was running better as the video progressed and then I could see the Steam from the radiator and knew it was at operating temperature. We have had 35 mm of rain here over the past couple of days which has been a blessing to us. It will be frustrating for people with hay cut and put pressure on crops diseases but I haven’t seen a bad rain yet. Could you do a crop walk video? The crops that flashed by while you were raining look pretty handy.
@@davidrobertson376 I prefer the linkage mounted New Holland rake
Looks like there is a hydraulic oil filter inside the transmission housing like other MF models is that right? Looking for answers to my three point linkage problem and thought the filter might be the first thing to check. As ever, there are far more complications when maintaining our gear.
Hi Jeff, yes there is a filter in the housing. If you take the cover plate off where the PTO engagement leaver is (on mine you have to take the foot plate and hydraulic hoses off first) you can reach your hand in and feel around for the filter. There is a wing nut on top to undo and the the filter and 2 shields come off with it. If you have a 178 there is also some adjustments under the cover behind the transmission dip stick. I hope this helps. Thanks from Geoffrey
I have a 1930 built in Cork Ireland, does anyone know the timeline of the water bath air cleaner changing over to an oil bath?
Thanks Geoffrey and Jess. Your mower is a great machine. Those Heston Hydroswing were a big step in their day. Looking forward to seeing the new roller bar rake in action. I hope you get a good run with the weather now the oats are down.
Hi Dave, yes the hydroswing would have made a huge difference. I think you will enjoy the raking video. I had some fun with it. So far we have had 30mm of rain on the hay with more coming this week. Thanks from Geoffrey
Good stuff Geoffrey. Cheers
Hi Darryl, thanks, I am gla d you enjoyed it. From Geoffrey
loving this type of content, if only the oat crops down south were looking as good as yours. thanks
Hi, I am glad you are enjoying my videos. Where about s are you? Most of the crops around us are looking good this year. Thanks from Geoffrey
#tractorASMR
Hi Paper, I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Morning Geoffrey, a nice day for cutting hay and a good crop, too.
enjoy all the camera positions👍
Hi, I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Have only just found your channel so have only watched a few so far. What struck me watching the one after you had the big rain with water all over parts of the land. Those big rock piles were probably holding the land together before someone had the bright idea of moving them out of place. It seems to me that someone had a big machine and just bulldozed sections pulled out the rocks and levelled the ground. I don’t know if you have talked about your theories on this. It is great that you are putting in those leaky weirs and trying to manage the water in a natural way. You collect a lot of water so being able to manage it is vital. 💎
Hi, yes you are right, someone has cleared the land with a bulldozer and pushed all the rocks up into piles. In one part of our farm you can still see the track marks from the dozer. We are lucky that we still have about 25% bush on our land. Thanks for watching. From Geoffrey
Give me a good old manual wind down, do a few bales ,stop check ,wind it up or down ,lift a couple of bales ,more things you've got the more to maintain 😅
Hi Trevor, yes I agree with you. At least it doesn’t have any electronics in my machinery. I prefer the older simpler machines. Thanks from Geoffrey
I think I would settle for the old fashioned spring tensioner. I guess if you could control it from tractor would be good because as I remember as a kid if field was good alfalfa the tension for good bales would be different than if you passed into a grassy part of field and then bales would be loose and sloppy so adjusting from tractor on the go would be good. As usual the amount spent on technology relates to how much production to make it cost effective. At any rate, another good video.
Hi, yes I agree with you. I like the older simpler machinery because it is easer to fix. I guess they thought the hydraulics was a good upgrade for some reason. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
@@brookdalefarm7986 And a lot of times the simpler stuff didn’t break as often so didn’t need fixing!
the operation of a hay bailer is a mystery to us city slickers . informative vid as usual from you Geoffry . well done thanks
Hi Robert, it took me a long time to learn how they work, mainly by trial and error and some good luck. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
Repair well done. I don’t think I have seen a Baler with hydraulic density control that doesn’t leak. Except for yours now. Spare parts from New Holland are very expensive. I priced a sprocket that drives the pump on the controller and was left dumbfounded. In the end I put a wind down manual set up on my 275 from a wreck on it. Not as good, but we only do about 1000 bales now.
Hi Dave, thanks for the correct name for the density control. I had no idea what it was actually called. Yes I have been surprised at the price of new Holland parts. The small wheel on the pickup front from new Holland was over $300, or a wheel barrow wheel from Bunnings that was a very similar size was around $30. The new seal was a very reasonable price. Thanks from Geoffrey
Well done again
Hi David, I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Morning Geoff, thanks for another great video. Farming how l liked it, fixing things, and solving problems.
Hi David,, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
Kinda looks like a 2.4m tray or less, so the load would have fitted 90 degrees to its current position, way easier on a trailer.
Hi Ben, yes it would have fitted better sideways, but I didn’t have access to a flat top trailer or truck long enough. Thanks from Geoffrey
You refer to Whiteman Park as 'Work' - is this paid work or a voluntary position ? Did you originally train as a mechanic or have you just picked up the knowledge while farming ? Nice paint job on the Farmall !
Hi Thomas, Whiteman park is my paid job. No I am mot trained, mostly self taught, but learnt a lot from family and friends who are all practical people. Thanks from Geoffrey
Good to see a video about winter cleaning a paddock. Never heard of that before.
Hi Paper, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
how is it looking after this winter?
Hi Brian, It improves every year. I think the most interesting thing was how much water the small weir held in the soil very dry summer we had. Thanks from Geoffrey
Thanks for sharing updates on SA farming, very interesting and good for Dad to hear about as he's a retired sheep/lucerne farmer from Mid North District living in QLD (he's now 97years) and likes to hear how things are going down south. Good work!
Hi, I am glad you ad you dad are enjoying theses videos. Thanks from Geoffrey
Cheers Dave
Another great video
Hi David, I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Thank you for the videos I’m from Hindmarsh island so good to see locals ( pretty much )
Hi, I am gla d you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
Thanks for posting this video. It is very clear and informative and gives me a certain amount of confidence to do the pump on my MF135. Been looking for someone else to do it but they are all either shy or gone into hiding.
Hi Bob I am glad you found the video useful. I hope you got your pump done. It is very hard to find people to do these jobs with out paying a fortune for it. If you need to do a full re build on your pump, look up bundy bears shed. He has a good video doing a full re seal of a pump. Thanks from Geoffrey
Good to see you networking with other farmers Geoffrey, Cheers
Hi Darryl, Dave was on of my early subscribers, and has offered me lots of great information over time. Thanks from Geoffrey
interesting covering a bit of SA farming for a change. keep the vids coming
Hi Robert, I am glad you liked it. I try to offer some diversity. Thanks from Geoffrey
👍
Amazing update saw peter andrews stuff a couple of years ago very cool to see someone using it so effectively good on you mate
Hi Ned, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks from Geoffrey
Yes slow water velocity and retain it in your property for as long as possible But be aware if unusually heavy rainfalls that will certainly destroy your hard work. With top level hydrological advise even this can be minimised. 😊
Hi, yes there is a lot of power in water, and it can wash away even very large rocks. We are lucky with our small creek that even when we have record rainfall it still doesn’t flow very fast. Thanks from Geoffrey
Bbq, no
I use all the hard wood in my weirs the rest of branch's used in paddocks to fertilize as they break down.
Hi, we usually put the branches on some of our more degraded land as it adds fertiliser and helps stabilise the land. Thanks from Geoffrey
Top video again i have a W 4 simalar engine up draft carb sure had great engines on early inters
Hi David, I am glad you enjoyed the video. The early inters were good tractors. They are far superior to the Fordsons of the time. Thanks from Geoffrey
this method can be applied on much bigger scales and should be done up north!
Hi, yes there are lots of possibilities for it and May places it should be used. Thanks from Geoffrey
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice outdoor cooking video👍🏽
Hi, I am gla d you enjoyed it. Thanks from Geoffrey
Great progress. All looks amazing. Thanks for updating us. Looking forward to the crank up.
Hi Dave, thanks. I am looking forward to seeing it running too. I started cleaning up the bottom radiator tank yesterday. Thanks from Geoffrey
Good job Geoffrey, look forward to it being on display. Cheers
Hi Darryl, thanks. It should be in Revolutions near the end of November. Thanks from Geoffrey
