if you want to stop the cows rubbing against fence posts then get a good 12ft of telegraph pole, and buy a few dozen wooden scrubbing brushes, drill holes for screws into the brushes and screw them to the top 4 feet of the post then bury the post in the ground for the cows to rub against works great and doesnt cost a few grand like the professionally made totum cattle brush do...
Advice from a Norwegian farmer. If the waterpump is broken you will see water spraying on you lower right window in the cab. I have both changed my waterpump and radiator on my 795XL, the radiator was very rusty inside. If the coolingwater is rusty, you should also change your thermostat. Mine clooged up from rusty water. Hope this my be at some help.
If you have a leak in the radiator use tec 7 leak sealer in it. It works a charm. Used it in my 3cx 5 years ago and still going perfectly and had a leak in the tractor this year and worked a treat. Just saves pulling it out and cheaper
A few other things to consider with the case as well as what you mentioned in the video before you do too much ripping to find the problem. Check the spring or the washer aren't gone in the radiator cap and that it is the right cap for the tractor, if she can't pressurize to the right pressure she will boil over because the pump will start to cavitate as the water heats up and stop circulating the water effectively. Check the radiator isn't blocked with dirt and dust, sometimes they look good and clean till you shine a flashlight through them and the fins are packed full of dust and hair and grease and whatever else, might be grand all winter but once the weather gets a bit warmer she reaches the limit of her cooling and boils. Viscous coupling on the fan could be another culprit, that could be getting weak and she wouldn't be cooling herself properly, same again where it might be grand all winter and then the warm day would cause her to overheat. The thermostat is another thing to check, might need to take it out and get the manufacturers spec for how far it should open at whatever temperature and then check it in a pot of water with a thermometer. Same again, might be grand nine days out of ten and then on a warm day or when you drive her on she'd reach the limit of your cooling and she'd boil. You said you were topping and if that tractor is always doing mostly yard work you might not have noticed any bother till you went driving her on. Problem might be lurking there a year or more. Best of luck.
Brilliant Video. I hope everyone learns a lesson from the precautions you took spraying. I’d say your a great teacher and lads could learn a lot from you. Keep it up.
Always thought they should add a strong colour dye to farm chemicals , You'd see exactly where the spray mist had gotten to , on clothing ,machinery over the fence ect ...
Great video as usual. Grazon pro is great for doing rounds the hedges kills the weeds and the brambles saver to use with a hand held lance than fore front.
Can I suggest you put a single fence line nozzle for the end of the boom. I think you will find it handy and you will not waste as much spray. When I saw that sick cow I thought she might have a wire or plastic in her stomach, but your farm is so clean it could not be that. The farm is a real credit to you.
Great video. Just a tip mate leave the bucket blade on your loader on the ground when you're parked both my father and I have lost chunks in our shins exactly that way. Very dangerous things.
If you get yourself a 12v water solenoid and fit it in pipe to spray bar wire it to the tail light you can switch the spray bar on and of with the light switch at your thumb makes some job of it
If you haven't tried a few pairs already Adrian, would really advise the Bolle Cobra or Tracker safety goggles, only glass/goggle I've worn that doesn't fog up easily or atall and that's working in a cheese factory where you'd have lots of hot/cold areas and would be getting a fair sweat up yourself! Shield is great but fine mist can get in by the sides, I've even taken to wearing goggles now when strimming, can't bate all around eye protection. Great vid as usual 👍
We used to blanket spray the silage fields with Forefront T for docks, nettles ect but now we spot spray. We put the cows in peat bedding over the winter and in the spring we take the peat out, we decided one year to sow some spuds in the garden and use the peat/dung for the spuds. They didn't come right at all, leaf was there but didn't mature, at the end we found out that the ingredients was absorbed by the grass, cows eat the silage, and the chemical was still active in the dung when the spuds started to grow. Its designed to kill what it saying on the container, and what it doesn't kill stays active in the grown for a while longer after spraying. Spot spraying in the way to go or just get a goat to eat it all.
Start with checking thermo stat.i had a load of bother with my 885xl blowing water out the radiator cap.in the end drilled a small hole through the thermostat and sorted out the boiling immediately.
Adrian i have the same boom, the only thing happened to me was the tank moved around and wore a small hole in the corner of the tank rubbing against the brackets. Great bit of kit. You without doubt need good ppe
Did a top end rebuild on my 785 this year new pistons liners ect it was a quick easy job and I'm not a mechanic if it is a head gasket you will have done in no time Adrian
Afternoon Adrian, Nichole and Bailey, you mentioned plastic posts in previous videos. Did you ever think about getting a small few just to try them out and trial them? I use them to stop the parents from wandering out the road. Great Job!!!
Bar wire is the best around by dicth. We yous rent land 15 year ago. Electric wire around dicth. Iy earth the wire. Cattle were breaking out. I put bate wire up in its place
Copper sleeve round an injector has blown through, pushing compression out of cylinder into water gallery and into rad, seen this loads of times on them. That may be the problem
Hi Adrian, Great video as always. Hope all goes well with the cow and case. The sprayer boom for the quad is on the wish list right away, a fantastic looking piece of kit. 💯🤗👍
Oh Adrian I forgot to mention only one cure for rotten fence posts, concrete ones, once in lifetime job and there for generations to come. My father was fencing for the Land Commission for years and always drilled that into me. Might sound expensive but in the long run very cheap and no need for a pet driver either , you'll buy a lot of stakes for the price of it. Just something to think about. 👍
25 years Ish ago I planted a 4x4inch tantalised post it’s still okay I stopped buying roundup years ago I now buy various brands of of the active ingredient in roundup glyphosate much cheaper My try that forefront when I run out of my lawn weed killer ps I don’t have a farm just a garden
Remember seeing some horrendous accidents while fencing back in the day of swinging a “mell” to put the posts in. Like the guy who would put his hand on top of the post when he thought it was far enough in, then the mell comes down one more time, messy 😱🤮
You should let down the mower after mowing the grease will be runny and will all go down to the side of the tractor. Takes it a few minutes to travel back to the other end when you start mowing again
really a great video enjoyed it very much, that unit you bought was quite expensive maybe 250 quid, i will say one thing that sprayer does a really good job of it
Would you ever think of mounting the sprayer on the front of the quad for better viewing or would the over spray be a problem just a taught because I was thinking of doing the same on my own quad.
Adrian the same thing happened our case 4230 after it came back from the mechanic. We were only bringing a few cows in the cattle trailer and the coolant boiled over. The water pump and radiator needed replacing. This may be of some guidance.
Hi Adrian,hope your cow is improving after seeing the vet,fencing posts over here(Somerset uk) since health/safety stopped all arsenic mixed with treatment on timber, we found fencing post struggle to stay in ground more than six years,always rot off at bottom plus bout 50mm below ground on posts,arsenic used to kill all ground level bugs,not anymore,but watching you spraying,had me thinking,,,,,,wonder if the roundup around the posts would kill of ground bugs,anyway we now leave 10/20 posts in side a drum that has creosote and mixed old engine oil till we need them,,,hope all goes ok for you with the case.another interesting video 👍
I remember the head gaskets were a common thing to go on those older Case tractors alright. Typical machinery that itd only happen just after you spent a heap of money on it!
Hello Adrian, great advice about the necessity to use PPE when dealing with chemicals on a farm. Too often I saw local farmers in my area in Co. Derry (my family included) just handling Add-F, and other very dangerous chemicals with little or no protective equipment being used. My only criticism of this video is that you didn't cover your head with the hood as the chemical residue can attach to your hair (and scalp) and we have massive amounts of blood vessels circulating in that part of the body. As well, whoever was filming you as you went down the lane spraying was standing too close and unless they too were covered there was a risk of direct ingestion into their lungs. As a one-off perhaps not so serious, but over sustained exposure things can be very different. Tell me this, do you ever take a holiday? Do you have anyone come in and help/run the show for a few days allowing you and the family to get away?
The best thing u can buy is the esb poles they are 20€ each and we buy them and use them for fencing on our farm and leave them in burnt oil till we need them sometimes we don’t but we don’t use the normal fencing post any more their just useless
Oooohhh! Blooming' fossil fuel engines, always so much faffing about. I love my 'leccy van, starts first time every time :) Maintenance? Now that's just checking the tyres.

Buy the 3/8 bars n put insulation on them, very handy or get larch stakes, ull get 15 years plus
Sprayer is some job. Could do with that set up for spraying round fences and the yard/lane ways myself 👌 hope the case issue is something simple 👍
One cause of mastitis outbreak we experienced was due to staph aureus in airline was working its way through the milking system
Good video. I found your channel through farmer phil, who's channel I found through george saunders. I love this sort of stuff.

Turning off a boiling engine can sometimes do more harm cos a hot engine gets hotter when you shut it down
it gets even hotter if you let her run
@@moiwilliams170 not if you add coolant or water
@@Kt-ro2fm i agree with you , but i guess when you're out in a field you dont have water to fill her up .
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.
Brilliant Video. I hope everyone learns a lesson from the precautions you took spraying. I’d say your a great teacher and lads could learn a lot from you. Keep it up.
Always thought they should add a strong colour dye to farm chemicals ,
You'd see exactly where the spray mist had gotten to , on clothing ,machinery over the fence ect ...
Look like you have fine soft ground there and we use allot of old telegraph poles and trainline sleepers for our strainers and gate posts
Very good look forward next one have a good week You and the family 😎😎😎
Great video as usual. Grazon pro is great for doing rounds the hedges kills the weeds and the brambles saver to use with a hand held lance than fore front.
Good video. I bought a spray that holds 60 litres for the back of the quad and it has a 3 metre boom for €200

Same thing happened my 4230 a few months ago. Water pump had gone. Got new one in Conatys and had it up and going in no time
Excellent video today,,great riding with ya,,and best of the summer to your farm

Hardly a air pocket in water system since did clutch as heater pipes would have been disconnected 🤔.great video 👍
We giving up on timber post all clipex now super job I say you a water pump problem in tractor hopefully
If you mix forefront and grazon you will have nice clean electric fence lines put on in may . You should try a few octoposts they have a long lifespan
Afternoon Adrian, Nichole and Bailey, you mentioned plastic posts in previous videos. Did you ever think about getting a small few just to try them out and trial them? I use them to stop the parents from wandering out the road. Great Job!!!
sorry i forgot Benson, is it?
Once had a JCB loadall came back from repair and same thing happened. It was due to a mix up with pipes at the radiator cap.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Bar wire is the best around by dicth. We yous rent land 15 year ago. Electric wire around dicth. Iy earth the wire. Cattle were breaking out. I put bate wire up in its place
We have an 895 which done that lately and it turned out to be the thermostat being stuck it was an easy fix
Great video im glad the case is back 😀
Great video. U have good helpers 🌟👍🐕
Hope the tractor is an easy fix Adrian you don't need the hassle 🚜🚜🚜👍👍🏴
Check the heater hose's because you have split the tractor and it could cause problems.
Copper sleeve round an injector has blown through, pushing compression out of cylinder into water gallery and into rad, seen this loads of times on them. That may be the problem
Exactly, had this happen before to me.
Hope it’s a cheaper job for him

Nice one Adrian, hopefully it's something simple with the Case!
You do know that you could use the cases loader as a post knocker
I would say the cow will have a twisted stomach and your tractor looks more likely to be the water pump. Good luck with both anyway.
Mr 6420 is never gonna let this one go 😂
That quad sprayer is a Draper we put longer hoses on our 1 as the ones on it were too short
That Esb pole went down fairly well despite its thickness
Great video adrian like your quad sprayer very handy to have
Great video Adrian. You have the place looking well, hope its something simple with the case
Great video as always Adrian. Hopefully your cow will improve and the issue with the Case is not to serious. 🤞🏼
25 years Ish ago I planted a 4x4inch tantalised post it’s still okay
I stopped buying roundup years ago I now buy various brands of of the active ingredient in roundup glyphosate much cheaper

Adrian try loughwood posts Ltd.
Swedish red wood creosote post.
Bit more expensive but their quality.
Great video Adrian hopefully not too muck wrong with the case 🤞
There was none of that craic when I worked on farms as a teen. You'd drive the stakes down with a sledgehammer lol
Great video as always keep up the excellent work 👍
Great video Gerry is going to have a field day with that info 😊
You should use the white steaks in stead of the wooden posted
really a great video enjoyed it very much, that unit you bought was quite expensive maybe 250 quid, i will say one thing that sprayer does a really good job of it
hi from ex dairy farmer in the UK. Those posts are not as good as the older ones were - split chestnut would cope better? great video
Happy Sunday 👌
Would you ever think of mounting the sprayer on the front of the quad for better viewing or would the over spray be a problem just a taught because I was thinking of doing the same on my own quad.
Great video Adrian as always
Great video Adrian keep them coming hope the case you don’t need to spend a lot of money on it 👍👍🇬🇧🏴👌👌🚜🚜
We have some posts that are 20 years on our farm still in the ground going well
Would it be easier to fence those paddocks rather than replacing posts every other day?
Good video lad keep up the good work
Adrian the same thing happened our case 4230 after it came back from the mechanic. We were only bringing a few cows in the cattle trailer and the coolant boiled over. The water pump and radiator needed replacing. This may be of some guidance.
Great video and great contents it could be the thermostat stuck closed

Put ya wires on the other side of the post that way they can't rub against it without getting a shock from the electric fence
How much acreage do you have. It just seems to go for miles. I love it.
For your yard area’s mix Chakira with your roundup and you will get no weeds till next year I think about €100 of it will cover your yards
Hi Adrian, your sprayer looks very similar to the draper one I own.
Hi have you ever tried clipex steel posts. They have a 30 year warranty.Very easy to drive into the ground as well.
Price?
@@callummckeonagri1483 I got them at €7.50 with an insulator..There is a metal tube for driving the posts so that you don’t damage the end of post.
PLASTIC POLES ARE THE WAY TO GO. LIFE TIME JOB.
Great Video Adrian.Its a pity about the case if I were u I'd be expecting some stick from Gerry 6420.😉
Looks like an Enduramaxx Sprayer 👍
Stomach problem likely could have a small internal bleeding
If you can't get pressure treated post just get plain post and then burn the outside of the post this will also prevent rot.
Love that boom Adrian 👍
Love the vids keep up the good work how do you keep your yard so clean
How many cow do you milk and how many heifer do you keep
I bought treated stakes which I thought were good. Happened to break one by mistake and they are white on the inside. Very hard to get good stakes.

Does the sprayer on the quad bike need to be tested like the boom sprayer every 3 to 5 years
Good stuff Adrian 👌
Why not Steel Posts if Timber Posts rot so easily?
There to dear
What size of posts do you use? Nice video
I was also going to ask that , they seem on camera to be a little small ? Or are you just using for the electric fence?
Could u not get a weed wiper trailer and for the quad bike so u can get rid of thistles and docs and nettles in ur fields
The best thing u can buy is the esb poles they are 20€ each and we buy them and use them for fencing on our farm and leave them in burnt oil till we need them sometimes we don’t but we don’t use the normal fencing post any more their just useless
