Hauling fert with a Volvo? 🤔

- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2023
- So as you already know Mike is just finishing up the last of the fertilizer hauling up north now. He can't quite store what he needs for the year, but that's ok as he can haul more once he gets seeding.
He did need to buy a couple more trucks and another set of super b's, and since the budget was tight, he baught some cheaper Volvos!
Mike will take this red one to the dealer to get some odds and ends fixed up 👌

Mike, On the A tank pressure gauge, check the air pressure sensor. It’s in the pass thru plate under the clutch pedal. I’ve seen them have corrosion issues due to moisture in the air system. Was a Volvo tech for 15 years. Thanks for the content.
You're hired🤑🤑😁😁😁
Hello Mike
You should stack some flat washers between the bottom hitch of tractor and under the hitch of the auger to lessen the angle of the the PTO shaft
Mike thanks for taking the time to make these videos, of broken, breaking or just downright awkward macinery, all desperate to fu........spoil your day!
you have way more patience than I have 😂
When you buy additional new trucks do you make a condition of the sale that they throw in a "Six Pack" of phone charging cords to hopefully get you through the first season of use.
Ever think of magnetic backup cam that you can set anywhere for lining up the auger . It would save a lot of steps when you're all alone on the remote northern homestead .
Won't help, his swing is hydraulic. Ropes to pull on the hyd handles from out of truck window would be about his only go to with that setup. We have an electric brehon for oura woth remotes for drivers.
Hello. Maybe you should mount a fiberglass stick upside down on the trailers, which goes against the ager when you drive forward. then you will see in the rearview mirror when the fiberglass stick bends and you are in the correct position
Good luck hauling your fertilizer Mike
Great video Mike
This is the difference between a really good woodworker and someone who’s been there and done it professionally. Working in the cold weather is not something I had to deal with on a daily basis. That’s why I became a custom staircase builder
Good idea on getting those older trucks, it's not like they're driving every day. Hope it works out
Appreciate the content 👌
Hey Mike love seeing your channel . With so many parts making heat how about a temperature gun ? There awesome 😊
Some kind of portable camera would probably help with lining that auger up. 2 iphones face timing would work.
Make a popup flag. Get a 2ft 1"x4" and a 2ft rod or dowel, drill a hol in the board near the end at 30degrees from vertical and put the rod in it, attach a flag to the other end of the rod. Normally this will lay flat on the ground with the board tilted 60 degrees, but if you run a tire over it it will flatten and pop the flag up.
There are various ways of attaching the two parts, you can use allthread and two nuts or some suitable glue to keep the dowel in the hole.
Place it where you want the truck tire and roll until it pops up.(can also roll back just a touch so it isn't stuck under the tire.)
You forgot to tell us your not a fan of the electric tarps.
Lol
Haha
Good vid Mike.
Mike , we’ve put thousands of K on that D16 with almost zero issues. We run 4 of them . Nice truck
Not just a U joint but a constant velocity
Magnifique déchargement de dangre et le tracteur avec le ranpliseur 😊😮
😊😊
Nice truck Mike. We miss Lee!
Nothing is mor permanent than a temporary solution 😁
Still getting it done.
Such a Nice volvo
Expensive fertilizer, cheap auger! Perfect lol!!
You should have tried a european version, bulldog with boggilift, 750hp and i-shift gearbox💪😃
Get a non contact thermometer with laser pointer for checking u-joints for overheating.
Great idea, unfortunately Mike can hardly manage to remember to carry his mobile charging lead around with him, I'm afraid a thermometer is beyond his ability, he'd never remember to have equipment like that close at hand! 😂🤣😂
Good morning Mike. I was watching an old rock picking video with the speed goats and such. Do you guys allow hunting on your land? Also is 12-inch spacing the norm where you guys are? Any particular reason? Here in Ontario we are primarily winter wheat and the norm is 7 - 7.5 inches.
Nice looking Volvo semi Mike
I'm wondering how much help does your youtube channel help you make the north farm possible ?
Or you are just that good of a farmer/business manager ? 😁
You need a drive over belt feeder
That engine is good , made in Sweden . Here in Norway there goes many of them and a lot of them with 700 and 750 bhp. so you should turn them up and you will fly up hills. 750 is factory spec engine for trucks . Good luck.
I’m curious does Europe calculate HP different? All your Big Trucks have like 700+HP while here it’s like 620HP and 2050 Torque for the BIGGEST Cummins X15. There are NO 700+HP Factory Engines.
@@Len_M. There are basically two, the volvo cabover FH16 and the scania V8, MAN has a 15,2 l in line six up to 640 HP
Not many hills in sask so not a big problem
@@Len_M. I am not sure if there are difference what method they use the Volvo 16 D in Mikes was 535, here in Europe its 550. But the same engine is also available in 650 and 750 here. But the D16 is for the heavy loads but many use them on light loads to. But now the most popular is from Volvo D13 and 500 hp.
@@Helge_Refsnes I can’t post the link I guess, but my favourite Euro Truck is the Scania T730 Topline 730HP V8 8x4 with the extra tag Axle for heavy haul. I’ve seen one hauling 2 Logging Trailers in one picture.
We have Volvo freightliner and mack. All have problems but would rather have a Volvo.
In the UK the Volvo is considered a very solid reliable truck, in fact we have a few running on Hydrogen gas with the engine also generating enough electricity to run refridgeration on temperature controlled trailers, thus eliminating the need for commercial or agricultural diesel. Go Volvo! 👍
Howdy Mike
Fert Shack? Didn't the B-52s do that? A little old place where we can...get our phosphorus...I got me a bin, it's as big as a whale...
air pressure Gauge senders needed. 14:36
Wilson trailers pulled by a Volvo? ...those trailers must cringe when they c that Volvo backing up! Lol.....Dude picked up a train of peas with a 1998 379 Pete 3406 Cat with 3 mil km at my place headed for Montana today. Those trucks don't die!
That cv shaft is prob worth the price of that whole auger lol
ice in air system maybe. once had brakes froze(ofc i mean some valve) and had to push eu style brake button while driving to not lock up wheels. then alcohol/antifreeze directly to where you mount air dryer or whatever you call it in english.
That Volvo was assembled not very far from where I live
Is the Volvo a old Westcan truck ?
Are we going to see a new big bud on your farm?
Hey Mike what do you think of electric tarps? 😊😊
Total novice here but what about a set of traffic cones and yellow ropes to watch for when moving the truck
Did you notice his yellow gloves laying where the auger hopper should be?
Are those bins right on the ground ? Any dirt work before fert bins got placed ?
Better look at whats under the bins

He has a compacted gravel pad as fast as I can tell.
Was that your tractor trailer that hit the hyway sign
Maybe the fertilizer landing on you might make you grow :)
The 16.1L engine specks to 660-770hp in Sweden, depending on the year. Not sure but the turbo is probably different 🤔
Btw, 18 speed? How fast can you drive a truck over there? We only get 12 speed and can't go faster then 80 with trailer and 90 on the highway👍
Same speed limit for cars and semis here; some highways are 90kph, most are 100kph, and some are 110kph; with trailer, without trailer, loaded, unloaded makes no difference in the speed limit for semis.
Your 12 speed is an automatic transmission; his 18 speed is a manual transmission......lots of 18s and 13s here, with fewer 15s and 10s, plus more and more automatics every year (many of which are 12 speed like yours).
Mike, volvo FH💪😉🇮🇹
In my eyes in not an FH. Very big difference between US and Euro FH
If you are looking for something that’s cheap it makes sense to not pick up a used Pete or Kenworth because you’ll have to give up all limbs to get one for a decent price
Exactly!
Should have bought a western star lol
Volvo is the best = )
The LEDs are just about too bright.
That drive shaft angle might have killed the u joint...
I should add that in an automotive application that has a double cardon joint, you would want auger shaft to be pointing at the tractor pto shaft. So if you lifted the auger assembly higher to achieve that, your drive shaft would be in proper alignment
Take back what I said earlier, I have it backwards. Driveshaft at tractor needs to be parallel with tractor shaft. You don't want u joint at tractor to be at angle, so you had it pretty close. Maybe auger was slightly too low
Volvo is good for you
🔥👊🔥🏍⚙️🔨🚜
Hey look….. it’s a Fendt that is still running and not throwing a DEF code and shutting off!
2 videos back the dealer was there working on it
Hmm, I wasn’t subbed for some reason but I subbed years ago. Stupid RUclips!
Volvo trucks have that issue, when u push the yellow button in the red pops out, that’s just the way it is, we used to have 4 Volvos hard to keep ‘em on the road, slowly replacing them with peterbilts and Kenworths, way better trucks
You are feeding the problem, poor people.

Mike’s playing farming with unlimited money cheat on. 😂
Morning
One of these days Mike will buy that money saving lowboy trailer to transport his own equipment that he never has money to buy! Maybe he'd have the money if he stopped spending money? 😅😅
I would say a year that he actually harvested a money making crop he might buy a trailer. It’s not easy spending money an none coming in
He’s like playing with a Money Cheat on 😂
I was told this may different ways throughout life.. gotta pay to play, can’t make it better if you don’t break it, gotta spend money to make money,
@@connellyslandmanagement725 but not on spend plenty on things u need. But he two years of failed crops u need to b careful
@@davidporter9556 he’s fine… this year is looking quite different already for him regarding moisture. They’re gonna have a really good crop on both farms this year.
Couple Packie stackers
Buy a scania 770S Thats 770BHP
Not in north america…
That’s about all those Buler augers are good for haha. Moving fertilizer. Absolute garbage design haha
Dati sufficiency in farming Every danger we hear is a waste we say and a person Algeria is satisfied with buying wheat 🕵️ with the availability of a large area, most of which is agricultural soil?????
I guessed and said to search and see what is the reason why we can't achieve this thing
The reasons are:
We have men who are in rule who love the country
And a little dirham ❤️
The first tractor is a unit price of 10 billion centimeters. We crush 10 of each tractor
And give me the text of the state of Adrar
And a capital of 10 thousand billion centimeters
Doc, you two take off and say 10 thousand 😦😦😦
Don't worry, doc, we understand you
(Axial sprinkler of 30 hectares of 1 billion + a water pump of 400 million + panels of solar energy of 200 million + forage pits of 400 million + 400 million of fertilizers measuring 30 hectares ==== 2 billion and 400 million
2 billion and 400 x 1000 hectares = 72 billion
2400 x 90 hectares x 100 = 72 billion
Calm down 1000 hectares of ponds
10 thousand hectares 720 billion
100 thousand hectares, 7 thousand and 200 billion centimeters, of course ❤️
And full calc important sufficiency
Crops:
Wheat of all kinds, thin and coarse
sunflower
sugar beet
Maize
Breeding dairy cows and producing milk powder 😍

Products conversion factories and laboratories for the manufacture of fertilizers
And put your trust in my Lord, may this be a difficult thing, but 200 years of light are waiting for someone else to sell you wheat, verina, or milk powder /
These are the words of an expert in economics, and may God improve our situation, God willing, and put your trust in the living that does not die
Amazing that Mike doesn’t make the connection between the corrosiveness of the fert n the health of the man 😮
Who knows where this channel is headed now. Next thing I know he'll be getting a freightliner.😂 ( no offense it's just that kenworth is better).
Volvos are ugly but they work
You all know that volvo is owned by the Chinese government. When people buy trucks or parts for volvos. You are giving money to the Chinese government. I wish it was going to the people of China. That is not the case.
Wow, I'd always assumed Volvo was a Swedish company from Sweden, I guess you learn something new every day? 🤔
Hello! Volvo cars is owned by china, not trucks. Volvo Trucks is part of the Volvo Group, manufacturer of trucks, buses, construction equipment, and marine and industrial engines.
Headquartered in Göteborg, Sweden.
You are talking about Volvo CARS.
Not the semi’s, that’s the cars. The heavy trucks are European.
