    Now you just need another Werk-Brau quick attach and thumb for the ol’ girl😉. What a beauty. I grew up running an old Detroit powered Drott 50, so older equipment like this means a lot to me.

      Lol thay would be cool to have all Werk-Brau stuff for it I do want to put a manual pin grabber coupler on it that will adapt it to my 200 buckets....I love the old stuff!!

    My cousin told me this! Dad planted atlas it rained. Must have got 18 ft tall. Uncle Matt hooked his 1 row feed cutter behind his A John Deere then a wagon to blow into. The A did not have the guts to pull it. They hooked another tractor to the A. They chopped the whole patch of feed that way! (All the A run was the chopper)

    You might want to think about replacing the hydraulic pump on your semi. Noticed it didn't even want to pick up the trailer without you giving it throttle new pump

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  2 месяца назад +2

      Well the problem is this truck has the wrong hydraulic pump on it it's got a low pressure high volume pump on it but if you give it some rims it will lift the the low boy....my other 2 trucks have the high pressure low volume pumps and they will raise that trailer at a idle.....some day when I have the time I'm going to change that pump out

    Sweet machine brother! I have a question what brand is your hoop building?

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  2 месяца назад +1

      Thank you! So we actually moved that building years ago and we re built it with a new new cover so if I remember right the structure is a Clear Span and the cover is a Norsman if you build one do not get a white cover if we wax tractors and put them in they will fade out like they sat in the sun if we put green hay in it will look like straw after awhile so go with a dark color cover

    • @zacharyholbrook7930
      @zacharyholbrook7930 2 месяца назад +1

      @dirtgrainsteel  2 месяца назад

      I just found out the other day I had a background check done on it....it's a 1977 and on October 6th it was sold to a excavating company about 50 mins from here then it pops back up in the system in 1995 belonging to housing development company so with that history and what I was told by Mort I believe I am the 5th owner....sadly at some point John Deere changed their system and some machines history's were lost and Zac's later model was one of them so I can't get the history on it
