Summer Kitchen Update
Просмотров 11414 часов назад
Been busy with the walls and stonework of the summer kitchen. It isn’t anything new, but more of the same- rebar, laying stone, forms and concrete. With the west wall done, only the NW corner and north wall will need finished. Finally, the gables will need laid up before the roof can go on.

Last of the Piglets

Petunia’s piglets are weaned and moving off the farm, and we are down to our last three. Two are awaiting pickup by their new owner, but one- Peonie- will stay and become part of our herd.
Drilling Beans with the Ford 4000
Просмотров 2422 месяца назад
Getting beans planted can be nerve racking- especially if you want the ground worked well. This year has been good, with plenty of time to run the disk mulcher over the chiseled ground. The soybeans went in in about three hours (14 ac field), at about 2 bu per acre…. I love it when everything goes according to plan!! The Ford 4000 pulled the JD 8300 drill well- it was its maiden voyage working....

Barn Finds: Ford 4000 & Fordson Super Major
Getting there…the big push is on
Very well done. You’re definitely working harder on your project than I am on mine. Keep it up, can’t wait to see it finished 👍🏼🇺🇸
That looks brilliant well done 👏
@@morganoflahertymachineryofirel Thank you Morgan! The stonework is getting there and should be done in October
Looks great 👍🏼
Congratulations 🎉to all
Thank you Morgan… two down, one to go!!😊
Beautiful
@@FailureatRetirement Thank you Failure!! It was a beautiful ceremony- big stuff for us! Thanks for watching….Been missing your vids & wisdom!
@@reppfarms4493 it’s been a very hot and busy summer. I hope to be back at it soon.
Looks great- I’ve considered a 430 baler. I like the equal angle hitch weight vs the long drive shaft with CV joint on the end that is on my round baler. Ain’t getting any younger you know…😎
@@HumbleHaymakers Thank you Humble! That 430 has been a solid baler. I considered buying. NH 640 this summer, but decided to hang onto the 430. It’s simple and I know it by now. 16 bales rolled up in less than two hours- it beats small squares by a long shot!! Thanks for watching
Looks good… 👍
Pigs are funny.
@@FailureatRetirement you are so right-I really have enjoyed my experiment in farrowing. Those piglets are comedians, but very affectionate!!! Thank you for watching Failure- anything more on the house?
@@reppfarms4493 it’s coming along but slowly now. The general has finished the bulk of his work and we are waiting on subs to show up and complete their work. Stucco guy started last week and the drywall guy starts today. The painter is waiting on both of them. I will do another update but I expect that is a few weeks away.
@@FailureatRetirement Mrs. Failure will be happy to have it done so she can start nesting again 😊
The seedbed does look great. Good luck 👍🏼
It worked up real nice- I went over it with the mulcher and the tw25 and it was like powder. Always nice when ground really works up the way it is supposed to!! Thank you for watching Failure!!
,👍👍
Thank you… keep watching- more stonework to come!!
that is one beautiful 6620 Titan ll. Your neighbor deserves a medal for preserving it in that condition.
@@EDBZ28 Yes- he takes excellent care of his equipment
That’s a really nice, original combine
@@FailureatRetirement My neighbor Dan- he takes very good care of his equipment. Just bought a tw 25 off him this spring
Looks great…👍
@@HumbleHaymakers they ram ok- not great- but it will feed the ewes and finish the lambs. IMO- oats are undervalued for feeding. I always like growing them!!
They grow up so fast
@@FailureatRetirement yes they are!
Send them to Ireland we love pig for breakfast
I was wondering about this. Looks great
Yeah, I had to delay work on it until everything was planted and I got first cutting in the barn. I’ve got more time now to get at it, and I’m hoping to have the stonework done by august!! Thank you for watching failure
They are funny. My favorite is when they get the zoomies.
Oh yeah- chase each other around the pens, running in circles! Thank you for watching!! Voice coming back?
@@reppfarms4493 not yet, thanks
That’s crazy 😂 She doesn’t seem mad about it 👍🏼
Not at all! The sows are sisters, so maybethat’s why it dosent bother her. She is due pretty soon
Good looking crop 👍🏼
Mostly fescue, some orchard grass…I also feed corn & oats to get the girls through the winter
Nice tractor I got to drive a ford 2000 selectodrive last week end
Yeah- those selectodrives (“selectospeed” over here) had a bad reputation of jumping into gear. I had a good friend that was injured when the tractor jumped into gear and ran over him. Be careful!!😊
@reppfarms4493 that sounds like a bad job I would say this was a ysa import at some point
Looks good…👍
Thank you Humble! First cutting rolled up about 45 bales. Only a few more and I will be good for fodder for the winter….
Things are looking good
Thank you Morgan! Things are very lush over here right now, but we have a lot of heat coming that will brown things up. Cheers!!
That’s a great video…👍
Thank you Humble! My son had his drone and got some really nice shots of the farm. Thanks for watching
It looks like nature has delivered it’s bounty 👍🏼🇺🇸
Yeah- it’s that time of year when everything is bountiful. Big heat wave coming…
Holy piglets!
Yup! Twelve piglet apostles!!
I saw the short first so this answered my question. Wow that’s a lot of piglets.
Too many
They look great 👍🏼 How many did you get?
13!! One is struggling- not nursing, so I may be down to 12. Still, I figure that’s not bad for her second farrowing. 9 last time…
@@reppfarms4493 that’s great. Too many doesn’t always work out.
My young lad wants to get a black belly pig as a pet
Why not let him just raise two (but not on the house😊)?
@reppfarms4493 the last time we did something like that was with sheep. Pet lambs we never had lamb after that
I agree, very close
Poor baby- I hate to see her so uncomfortable. She is restless and very “needy”. I just hope everything goes well…
She's coming close
Looks right peaceful… 👍
It’s the calm before the storm- still have beans to plant, and FIRST CUTTING!!!
How many do you have . I remember getting chased by geese in my grandparents' house years ago they were c#%^@s
Yes, they are the Thugs of the farm- they bully and rule all other creatures!!
Cool. You have a lot of geese
Yeah- funny story… I started out with four from my Veterinarian. He asked me if I wanted some because he had “extra”. I’d have 60 if I hadn’t given a bunch away 😊
@@reppfarms4493 careful what you wish for I guess 😂
I want one
They are handy! My friend That has the mill is does it as a side business. I only harvest the dead trees each year and it keeps me in lumber
Wonderful ..ty so much
Thank you Amanda!! Spring is such a wonderful time on the farm. The ewes bring out their lambs, the geese with their goslings, and soon the sows will have their piglets and show them off. All this new life- it constantly amazes me. Thank you for watching!!
Brilliant find well done can't wait to see them working 👏
I have some work to do on the Major- excessive smoking. Any ideas what could be causing it?
@@reppfarms4493 a good hard drive or put it on a plough before you go ripping
Love a good barn find! Did you have to drain out the old fuel before it would start?
No, I checked the fluids - they were ok and I didn’t want swap fluids until I got home. Charged the battery overnight, put in some fresh diesel in, and cranked it twice to get the oil flowing. Third crank it fired…
Those are some great finds, nice tractors.
The old gent that had them was a machinist, but a farm boy at heart. Mechanically they are very sound (just dirty!!)
Nice looking tractors. The 4000 is actually pretty common here in the west. They were used a lot in the orchards. I have run several over the years and they are very solid runners.
Those 4000’s were built in Highland Park, Michigan (about 2 hours from here). Failure- what about that Super Major? Those are rare birds out this way!!
Hey Failure- how do you like that Faure- like mustache??
@@reppfarms4493 LOL. That was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw it 😂😂 Pretty accurate representation I would say. There’s a strong possibility that you are doing it better though 😂
@@reppfarms4493 I think there are a few around here but I haven’t seen one recently. I remember my dad talking about them way back in the day. I think our neighbor had one when I was growing up.
@@FailureatRetirement I doubt it my friend!!!
Total barn finds! This is great!
Thanks to you G! I truly appreciate it!! They are great tractors!!
Very nice 👍🏼
Thank you Failure! Man, it got DARK! Barn lights came on, night creepers sounded and 360 degree sunrise!!
Oh man, you are so right. It is sooooo dense!! Thank you for watching Failure!!
It’s really unbelievable how tight they can pack it.
Those are very good tractors. We have a TW 30 very good power for the frame weight. The TW25 is solid, but do not turn it up. Seen some bad things happen.
It’s got more than enough power for my size. I really just wanted to to chisel and pull the mulcher. Plenty of nuts for that! Thanks for watching ( and subscribing!!)
You know it! Crappy out, so I might as well do something fun!! Thanks for watching…
Looks like you got into the picture album
Happy Easter
Looks pretty good
It really did a nice job 👍
Got rid of a green 6300 in favour of a Ford 5610. Dad still has his 5600 that he bought new in 1980 which was my inspiration
Great tractors….My Grandpa traded in his mules for a 8N in 1948. I still have his 861 Powermaster. Solid tractors, accessible parts, easy to work on, and plenty of power. Underrated and great value for the $$
