Maintenance day! Changing oil and general maintenance on our JCB 403 Plus…and making it look new!
Good video Will 👍 regular maintenance pays dividends in life and performance of a tractor 🚜👍 was told by an old mechanic many years ago oil and grease are your cheapest mechanics 👌 only thing I would say is to put grease on the battery terminals to help stop corrosion 👍 as ive never been near a 399 is that the Perkins 6354 in it 🤔
2x 12 volt system on the 399 will , my 399 had that until I changed it and replaced the starter with a hi Geared starter and which allowed me too only Need 1 battery then 👍
24 VOLT SYSTEM OR 12 VOLT
ARE THEY 2 X 12 VOLT OR 2 X 6 VOLT BATTERY
It’s a 12 volt electrical system with 2x 12 volt batteries I think….I could be wrong thought
Hi Will at least when you work on your tractors it's easier than a new one and it takes less time to do it and a great video again my friend 😊
Thankyou Paul yes they is quite easy to work on these older ones😁
Good video Will 👍 that rubber washer you took of is supposed to be there and it screws on over that central retaining bolt giving a better seal than the wingnut direct on to the metal endcap of the filter 💪👍
Thankyou Bob! Good thing I kept it then and not thrown it away!🙈😬
Have a really great Christmas Will and Izzy! 🌲🥃
Thankyou Dawny! Hope you do aswell!😁
I love old tractors, not sure why but I do 😆
Your MF 265 is very tidy would like one myself our 165 has no cab and isn't much fun to drive during winter do you do all your own servicing on the tractors
Hi Paul, yes we do try to do most of the servicing ourselves, and I can’t imagine anything worse than driving round on a tractor without a cab in the winter😬🙈
Hi Will that machine does a really good job very handy good video again
Hi Paul thankyou😄
Love the sped up footage of the calves 🐄🐄🐂
Thankyou Dawny!😁
Have to say Will that bloody reversing bleeper was doing my head in 😬 think i would have actually accidentally on purpose have taken the fuse from it 😡🤣🤣🤣
Can't H S
Haha Bob yes it’s not the greatest thing but health and safety say it’s a must… i did wonder about putting music over the top so it wasn’t as annoying but I need to find some more non-copyright music that RUclips will allow cause last thing I want is to get repetitive with the music I use when I do use it
Good video Will 👍 certainly a good little loader that JCB 💪 looks like there is quite a difference in levels from the floor of the calf shed to the access shed 🤔 did you have a ramp there at one point 🙄👍
Thankyou Bob! Yes it’s honestly the best machine for its size and mobility…I do hear JCB are launching a telescope version….yes your right I videoed mucking this out I said I was going to sort the floor levels out but was a job i never got round to sorting and still on the to-do list🙈 although the jcb does manage to cope with its “alright” atm🙈🤣
There was a ramp of gravel/stone there but it’s just worn away over time
Cut 3 inches off end of that cone.. most people do.. u will have a lot less blockages
Yes I was debating doing that
Interesting video Will 👍 our parlours used vacuum for the gates, and cant remember who's parlours we had but the cooling system for the milk was used to pre heat the water for cleaning, also we recorded every month and the cows had coloured tape on their tails for amount of feed each cow got based on litres per cow, amount of food was inputed as cows walked into the parlour by the dairy person based on the tail tags 🤔 think that was the main differences, as you said milk recording was a real pain 🤣
Thankyou Bob! Yes I think they are still and thing where they heat the water from the cooling system called “heat exchangers” i think 🤔 although I’m no expert! Yes I’m our old parlour we would use tail tapes to dictate how much feed we’d feed each cow…it’s so much easier now though we’re it’s all automated!😅 glad I’m not only one who doesn’t like milk recording!🙈
Such a difference between a dairy farmers tractor and an arable farmers 😂 mostly I've been on the dairy side 😊
Great tour Will interesting stuff.
Thankyou Dawny!😁
Great and all that the 390t is, would the 399 not be better with a 6 cylinder and higher hp?
Yes we do have a 399, but I just prefer the 390T it’s pocket rocket 👍😁
Hi Will another very good video again it's nice you can on the fields some farmers still waiting to get on there fields good job again 👍 😊😊
Thankyou Paul!😁 yes we have some fields that are good for getting in when it’s wet 😁
Great video will ! Merry Christmas to you and your family, regards from Cornwall
Thankyou Mark! Merry Christmas to you and your family too!😁🎄
She's spreading just fine (when she's actually spreading)!
That’s one way of looking at it!😂
Be careful Will how much you cut of the nozzle 🙄 ot to consider if the pump has the spare capacity to maintain the necessary pressure also as you mentioned perhaps got to go up a gear or two then if emptying going up hill will the 399 have enough power in reserve 🤔, just a little tale that black rubber pipe that pressurises the tank over time deteriorated and blew off straight into the back of the cab 🙄😳😡😡 that was a shit day 🤣🤣
You’ll see from a future video Bob that i have a different plan other than cutting the nozel so stay tuned to see what I end up doing😉
Heron bone ten back 1969 Milk ing hundred twenty Ten heroin bone which two Cow fill two jam jars hold Two gallons twice a day That lot of bottles they came in last take twenty Minutes to milk holston cows bad feet😂
Hi Will it makes calfing a lot easier when you have the right tool very good video again 👍 well done my friend
Thankyou Paul! And yes can’t be without a good calving Jack😁
That cow that had the splits on the yard in snowy weather 😮 Lovely little bull calf
Poor calf that had pneumonia!
It’s getting over the worst of it thankfully it just sounds worse than what it is now
Good video Will 👍 these calving aids are a handy bit of kit , but i actually preferred not to use them until was no other option 🤔 not a criticism just my view 👍
Thanks Bob! Tbh I did try just pulling with just the ropes before I set up my camera but resorted to the aid as I knew she’d been calving for a while and thought it’d be too big for just a rope and pull job
No criticism token 😁
Congrats on the birth, how long will u keep the bull untill sold?
Thankyou, roughly until it’s about 4-6 weeks old
Have you tried using the short milking sleeves? They keep your overalls a lot cleaner.
No I haven’t John are they good?
Hi Will good video nice to see your good lady helping you out 😊😊😊
Thankyou Paul!😁
Great video Will 👍 so many differences from the way we did it 🤔 we washed every cow with warm water and wiped with cloths, then stripped every teat before milking to check for mastitis, then after milking they were teat dipped, nice of your girlfriend to help out by the way she deals with the clusters she's helped out a few times before 🙄💪💪 how do you detect mastitis without stripping🤔
Thankyou Bob! We use to have a hot water wash for washing their udders in our old parlour set up although we rarely used it apart from washing clusters with. We have mastitis detectors that are in the pipe line just past the cluster, the idea behind it is that the filter collects any curds or mastitis so we can easily identify which cows are causing issues quickly.
I’ve learnt a lot about cows, I live next door to a farm but obviously don’t get to see everything that goes on.
It's awesome what you guys do everyday keep it up I've always backed British farmers even tho I'm not a farmer myself always been interested in the work you all do, great job #nofarmersnofood
We’re the dream team ❤
My brother made me send it back to supplier. Use provita hoofshure now
I’ve tried hoofsure a number of years ago…I did t recon much to it having switched from formalin to that then back again
Predipping is the best change I made in a long time
What were the benefits?
I’ve debated it before but it’s another job aint it, our bactoscsns and cell counts aren’t too much to worry about atm
Hi Will nice to see you explaining how things work great video again well done my friend 😊😊
This tractor For sale available
No no we wouldn’t sell this tractor!
Good video Will 👍 we had two 14/14 parlours side by side with ACR s and every 6 months we stripped a parlour down and replaced ropes and have to say never seen a plunger take so much effort to get it back in place 😮 hope it works for you 👍
Have a great weekend you guys! ☀️
Hi Will you have done it again very good video my friend 😊😊
Thankyou Paul!😁
Hi Will good video the foot bath Will help the cows feet
Thankyou Paul! Yes it definitely helps their feet😁
Formalin 🙄 that was a name that took me back more years than i care to remember 😳🤣 seem to remember the smell that came from it could make your eyes water 😭 but always seemed to do the job 👌 good video Will 👍
Thankyou Bob!😁 to say it’s been about for so long it’s surprising how many farms still rely on just formalin 😁
Good morning you guys! ☀️
Good morning Dawny!😁
Another great post lad. The cattle are content.
great little machines them teagels. i used one for years at a dairy farm and a beef unit very rarely went wrong reliable john
Hi John, yes we’ve had ours over 20 years and it was about 5/6 years only when we had it, it’s had a few oil pipes and some blades but apart from that it’s been faultless 👍😁
Great little machine that Teagle , chopped straw makes life so much easier for when it needs spreading on the land 👍 Good video Will 👍
Thankyou Bob! Yes we definitely like ours, it’s getting near 30 years old now but still very workable and does a great job of bedding up 😁
Those little calves lovely to see them!
Your camera got a little bit too! 😆
It did Dawny well spotted!🙈😂
Teagle machine quite good made just down the toad from me
Yes we definitely like ours!
