    Battery isolator?

    there has to be a short on the system somewhere. As a test, disconnect it at the pegs over night. If confirmed, put a dedicated pony box with a bar switch shutoff, between the battery and the tractor.

      I guess a bad battery sucks power when connected to other batteries. We need better data from batteries - should be easy to do.

    Through vibration or sulphite build up it can cause the lead plates inside to break, weakening the battery. Can also allow the materials to build up and create internal shorts within the battery.

    Had issues with a similar battery, tester showed 13.5 volts and green light on battery tester. Mechanic had a 60 dollar tester from Canadian Tire that shows voltage and cranking amps it showed 13.5 volts but next to no cranking amps dead cell. Needless to say I bought same tester

    I had trouble on my 6620 combine.... ended up with a twisted off stud on the starter solenoid goofy battery cables and one bad battery. It was frustrating not finding a smoking gun on it but now it starts 100% better. Now I'm working on my IH 1086 tractor it has marginal cables so I'll probably do something with them yet.
    Where did the rope in the mixer come from? That would have been a mess to deal with without the grain vac. That Cockshutt looks cool. What size is it?

    • @millionairefarmer.
      @millionairefarmer.  3 месяца назад

      That Cockshutt is a 1950, got a fresh coat of paint couple years ago. Had some hydraulic/pto issues that cost more then the tractor was worth to figure out and fix. But what a handy tool for the grain augers

      Ouch, I know that the hydraulics on those Cockshutt Oliver's are a bugger to diagnose, but in the end I'm glad it worked out. That one must have the detroit diesel in it from the sound. Also I'm glad I'm not the only one who wanders around with ear plugs in for most of the day🤣🤣

    I would say it behooves you to educate yourself in any way you can That way You can gauge which direction and what you need to do around your farm to keep up with Demand And Educate yourself in the reasons behind things such as Low grain weight not being beneficial Things like that are helpful for your business.!!! 👍👍 ✌💛🗽💯🙏😇

    I’ve fed lots of light grain, it’s fine, you just feed more of it. Light barley is still better than most hay. Usually your protein is better in light grain.

      @@jeremycherny2041 use to feed lots of brome and fescue aftermath. It was good stuff cause them seed guys fertilize so heavily. The guy we used to buy off of had a stripper header to take the seed and then would swath and bale the rest of the plant. Fed a lot to feedlot lambs and feeder calves quite a few winters.

    Dead cell in a battery, with always drain the rest. And any other batteries in the system. As soon as the alternator starts, it should be putting out 13.8-14 volts.. clean terminal connections help too.
    Good luck!!

    The reason why lead acid doesn't last long is because of the "double sulfation" in the discharged state. Tying together six 2.2V cells doesn't help either without a battery management system. That is why a lead acid maintainer is so needful. Chemistry like LiFePo4 do a lot better at lower cell voltages over a long period of time. Hope this helps.
