We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.
Evan, the manure spreader looks pretty good and the cows are growing. You have the farm running smoothly and I want to see the new barn when you get everything moved in and set up. That will save you a ton of time.
I haven't moved in yet, hopefully soon.
You have worked so hard, cleaning up, and cleaning up, and cleaning up that property! Things are looking really good!
It feels so good when you have a long list of things to accomplish in a day....and at sundown...it is all done!
That tractor is proving to be quite handy!
...things are comin' along nicely, stay safe and have a great week..
Excellent vid as usual 👌
One thing I see on the manure spreader right away is the chain tensioner on the rear most chain. A little TLC and it should work fine. Might be able to find a local saw mill to get some rough cut lumber instead of going to the big box store as well.
We have a sawmill just a few miles away. I was hoping to take some trees there someday to have milled. But I haven't saved any saw logs yet.
@@CountryViewAcres some of your trees you have cut down have been massive and would be hard to haul too. But maybe they have some already sawn lumber.
Who has more fun than a Farmer ?
The manure spreader you bought looks like it’s worth $450 !
put old oil on bed on the wood good job
You’re sure getting a lot of use out of the new tractor. It’s nice!! The water is a long way away from the hay!?!?! 💕💕
Everything looks so nice and the tractor is making easy to get your jobs done quickly. Question: what will be the source of your manure since you don't have the enough farm animals to produce enough sludge to spread, will you buy it from other farmers?
Get in touch with Pete from Just a Few Acres Farm he has a New Idea manure spreader just like that one and he did some work on it I'm sure he'll be able to point you in the right direction!
Extra time on your hands. I admittedly LOLed. I think you might temporarily have forgotten you’re a homesteader...
Not sure why you have the post hole digger as your counterweight on the tractor since it is so light? I'm guessing your old box blade and other older attachments don't fit your new three point hitch. Nice tractor. Keep up the good work! Also, I would recommend you wear gloves when handling those posts with old barbed wire on them as you don't want to get tetanus. Cheers
The post hole digger was already on the tractor. And I don't have a heavy 3 point implement to put on. My blade only fits the Allis Chalmers snap coupler hitch. I should have a ballast box arrive later this week.
I don't know if you know but if you put your chickens in after your cows and put chicken feed on the manure and they will eat and spread it out without you doing anything but just throwing chicken feed out and moving them.
That new tractor is certainly saving you some manual labour and backache. Even the Steers are impressed.
Two minutes in and I'm reminded that I keep wanting to suggest to you that there's no shame in wearing a pair of lightweight leather gloves especially when doing this type work. You won't regret it.
Thanks for your videos and continued success. 👍
@crimsonwizard01 He could even find a sponsor to have multiple pairs on hand and for various jobs. I'm okay with that. (#ironclad)
Wild guess here..lol...but I’m guessing you are loving that new tractor. Gotta be honest when I get ready to buy a tractor TYM is looking more and more like my choice. Great job on your farm/homestead.
Your place is so BEAUTIFUL !!!! I Love It !!
Farm is looking good Evan. Steers are fattening up, pastures looks good as well. Manure spreader will be a good addition. Thanks
Look at the steers watching you! Lol
The new tractor is certainly showing how useful and versatile it is and how you might have been holding off some things because of equipment issues. Also, I love how it looks - just a proper red tractor!
Wow! You really needed the new tractor!
It's a little power pack!😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
I miss having cows around, watching your every move lol You should get them a ball :D
Howdy Evan, couldn't determine if T-Bone and Chuck were impressed with the new TYM T654 tractor or upset that you were removing their favorite barbed wire wrapped scratching posts. Have A Day! ;~)
I wondered that too. They were startled at the power of the tractor at one point - curious fellas! They look in fine fettle.
Farm is looking great, you're getting a lot done! Love seeing the 🐐🐃🐓🐈 !
manure spreader looks like it just needs all the chains oiled and find all the grease fittings. Tip on loading it, we always(when possible) load from one side and it is always the side opposite the driveshaft. That way there is no chance of us drifting into or bumping, bending, the driveshaft with the tractor. just a precaution to avoid us making a stupid mistake.
Good advice
Thank you for introducing me to Dave Ramsey.
I’ve got tractor envy! Good video!!
Compared to what manure spreaders are going for here in Georgia you got a great deal! Looks like only minor fixes and very cool you got a PTO driven one.
I just did the same exact thing - removed an old corner post. I had to do it by hand though. I really need a tractor for the 'grunt' work 😉
Thanks for making these videos. I see you have a new fan club. You steers enjoyed watching you pulling up those fence posts. I also noticed that the feeding chain wasn't moving on your new manuer spreader. I hope you don't need to do much to get it working, but I'm looking forward to your next video.
The apron (feeder chain as you call it) doesn't move very fast in the first place. I see the adjusting lever for controlling it's feed rate is missing. Not a deal breaker.
If the manure spreader doesn't work for the farm, you can always sell it to a politician!
Love that tractor. Never thought about it before. Everything looking good
Looks like it's useable, at least all the gearing works, didn't see the bed chain move. Good deal for 450.00$
It appeared the bed chain would move. About 1/8 inch per revolution. I will really find out when I hook it up to a tractor.
@@CountryViewAcres that's about the speed you want for the manure to move
What a FANTASTIC video!! Nice and long 😁 So happy for you with that new beautiful tractor. Good luck with the manure spreader.
Can you please do a drone flyover of the whole property? I can't recall seeing one ever since...I don't know how long. It would be awesome to see. Have you ever done one since you moved the carport down the driveway to the concrete pad where the old farmhouse was?
Thanks for sharing ❤️
Always enjoy your channel! God bless your family!
At 15:30 the chicken wants back into the barnyard!
You only just got that great little tractor! 🤣🤣 You're not supposed to 'ditch' it just yet! 🤣🤣👌👌
Hey Evan. New to your channel. Hope that manure spreader works out for you. 👍
If your tractor has a 3rd function valve, get a Tree Puller. You will not need a chain and will not have to get out of your tractor to pull posts. You will think, " How did I ever get along without it ? " I enjoy your video's.
I hope your steers don't put a leg down one you're old post holes. My grandfather always made us backfill ours, he said you would never forgive yourself if some of the stock broke a leg. Its something I still do no matter where they are just in case something small falls in and can't get out.
Yes, you are right, I need to go fill the post holes.
Hi...... Evan nice to see you, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
JudithB My ex drug an old manure spreader home one day, paid $50 for it. He worked on it for a few days and got it working. LOL Craziest thing I had ever seen, but it threw chicken manure 8' in the air and did a great job!!!
Everything is looking wonderful Evan! Great buy on the spreader!! Also that tractor is wonderful addition to the farm!!
friend and his dad bought a new holland 570 baler and two 9x20 kicker wagons thru an online auction bout a month ago.5 grand,baler had less than 8,000 thru it,they did their 1st cut friday and baled it yesterday,they counted 825 after stacking in barn,another 73 acres to go now
I think You should name Your stears , Pete & Repete so You don't call them cows, LOL
Everything looks awesome tidy steers are getting to know you both now. They are looking good your feeding them well. Keep up the good work Even. Hoping the spreader works good for you.
14:20 I know you designed the feeder as a skid, but now you have a fork lift. No reason to gouge up the field when you can just lift and go.
I thought you were definitely stuck there! That tractor has been very useful!
I have never seen a manure spreader like that and look forward to seeing it in action!
late 1940's w/pto
Get the hell out of the cities people. Buy some acres and care for them. Most satisfying.
Funny how with farming, there is always one more thing to do or get done! Full circle for the barnyard manure. Spread it on the hay field to feed the grasses that will in turn become feed for your animals that will create the nutrients to once again feed the hay field. Nice job with the new tractor. Makes chores easier! Steers are looking good. Good luck with the spreader. Looks like good bones to it. Thanks again for sharing you day.
I always coated the wood floor of manure spreader with used engine oil if it was to sit for awhile.
Make sure wood floor is wet down before loading it with pen manure.
The apron slides a lot easier across a wet wood floor vs a dry wood floor.
Looks like a little work and you’ll be in business Evan. Thanks for sharing with your videos with us. Fred 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Use your grapple to pick those posts out, wont even have to leave the cab!!
I don't have a grapple yet. Hoping to order one sometime soon.
@@CountryViewAcres bought an MTL a little over a year ago, i didnt think i needed it but the price was attractive and its been extremely handy you will love it on your new TYM!
Even, take some metal plates and put on the wooden floor to make removal manure much easier , maybe line the sides as well
That tractor is a game changer. Glad you have that to help out!!!
It looks like you need a helper to pull out the poles i can't help you I'm too far away
How did you ever get by without that tractor 😁
Thinking y'all got a good deal on the spreader..
Farm is looking so nice and clean,and so is the ‘ cows ‘. I sure would like to see the ducks. I hope they are doing good. Did you get the rest of your garden planted . Take care, be safe. I am glad you found a manure spreader, I can’t say much about it, because I never seen one before. Lol
I bet you get a lot of satisfaction fixing and cleaning up your property
I can tell that you are loving that tractor.
G'day from downunder Evan. Would some of those old fence posts be worth chopping up for your outdoor fire pit ? Keep up the good work mate
Those fence posts are what we call Hedge Apple around here, also named Osage Orange. Very hard and dense and burns white hot.
You need a longer chain.....lol!
véry good vidéo,thank you
Evan, have you given any thought to putting a culvert in across your paddock to get rid of that trench, or is it not worth the effort ? Thanks.
No, the ditch goes to far. Not worth messing with.
@ 12: SHES A GOOD LIL TRACTOR
Are you going to show sitting up your new shop and making a lot of space for your stuff in your old shop for your trackers and stuff
I plan on having a video of moving into the new shop area. But I haven't got around to it yet. Been to busy with all the livestock and garden.
U could try looking at tractor house.com for more equipment.
I have. $2100 for a similar spreader.
I miss learning about the hay field and all the old equipment to get the job done
The case Tractor is used in the next video that will post.
Manure spreader???
Politicians don't know anything about farming!!! LOL
😂😅 You came running🏃♀️ out. Just a small ditch. I got stuck in. Lucky to push front forks down for leverage to get out . Always a Great recovery videos with Evan down on the Farm 🚜👍😀❤😅
Nice job! Plenty of uses for those forks!
WOW.....that spreader would have easily brought 1500 to 2000 thousand here in central Mn. Seems you got great deal
Is there any concern about the steers stepping into the open postholes ?
many people have brought that up. and I need to fill the holes, to make sure the cattle down hurt themselves in the holes.
LOL! The steers watching you pull the fence posts, “Whatcha doin’ silly hoomin? Oh crap! It mooooved!”
🐊🇺🇸👍
That tractor though! ☮️
Tips from a fork truck driver
When you need to move the forks.
Flip the clip
Push or pull the bottom first, then slide the top over till the clip catches where you want it and get those forks up higher. Hip height or so.
Less danger of hurting your back because you're stopped over or your foot slips.
I love how you've gotten things in such great shape Evan.
Keep up the good work my friend.
That's a handshake backache waiting to happen.
Those old locust fence posts look like they still have some years in them, Evan. They're not pretty, but the fence doesn't care. You need to invest in a pair of leather gloves, son! Farm is looking great!
Manure spreader looks promising. Being able to turn it by hand is a really good sign. Lube that rascal up and let 'er fly!🤪
Are you sure about your "Steers"? One of them (maybe both) sure looks like a bull to me?? Got some big shoulders and a muscled up neck for a steer? They look really good though... I'm sure they will look even better on the grill 😁
I one like that, be mindful when you pull it. I use my Polaris Ranger 1000xp to pull it. if you move to fast it will sling "stuff" up in your direction.
I suspect that the muck spreader started out as a wheel driven implement and someone has later converted it to a PTO driven one. Perhaps because of that, I also suspect that the drawbar is not the original one and has been extended. What caught my attention was the serrated curved bar on the headboard of the spreader where the gear leavers to engage and adjust the implement would have been. Given that these older models were often designed to be reachable from the tractor driver's seat, the original drawbar would have been far shorter. Whether I am right or wrong I do not know, but if I were you, I'd check underneath to see if the welds are good and strong. I suspect that they are, but better safe than sorry.
I can't help but chuckle about the fact ya got a bunch of biological manure spreaders on your farm. They're called Chickens.
That TYM is quite a handy tractor. So quiet too. Great pickup with the manure spreader. I think you did ok. Thank you for sharing these videos of your homestead.
You got a "real steal" on that spreader, Evan! I sold one like it (in worse condition...) for $1500.00
Good show, I like your hay feeder, easy to move and reduce wasted hay by the cattle. I know you are busy all the time, there is always something that needs to be done on a farm and the livestock always seem to get into the middle of all you plan to do. Every farmer I ever knew was a patient person, they lived a life that not everything can be done at once, you just do what you can passing by on to the next chore. Your manure spreader looks like it is in decent shape and can be used for many years to come because you can repair it yourself and even make some of the parts yourself. The floorboards you can replace and fit yourself, the mechanical parts can be salvaged from other equipment, doesn't have to be spreader parts. Both of my grandfathers were farmers, and I learned many things can be remade to use for other purposes than the original intent. Good luck with your farm and reach for what you want the most.
Someone has done repair now oil it and rust. Paint it pick your farm a color for your equipment, black brown and shiny with white tire rims.
Not a bad looking manure spreader. I've seen much rougher looking ones.
The other day you mentioned about have issues with flies. In Australia we had a program for farmers to buy Dung Beetles and it helped get rid flies a lot over the years. Don't know if they would survive over your winters
Place looks great ! slap some grease on it, and start slingin some poo..👍👍🚜😁💩💩💩💩
I'm sure you would've thought about it but if not, I hope you closed down the holes where you pulled the old fenceposts from...I'd hate to think what could happen if one of your steers might step into one of that holes...
Looks like a chain tensionner is not in place ? (At the end of the video). And keep up with the videos, I love them!
The spreader looks better than most I have seen. Usually all the sides are rusting out. At least with wood things can be replaced. Now you have a good use for your old motor oil. Seems the under supports may need work but still a good deal. Pretty soon you will need a nephew to start helping you soon. It is nice to have two steers to help you figure out the cattle setup. They are doing their part well and follow you. Hopefully you can get a cow to start working to lead the rest when you move them. Soon you will be ready to get a few. Have fun! Things look great. A good working tractor really helps.
Lol, pickup the hay feeder with the forks, no need to get off the tractor. As far as the gates between pastures, swing them open towards each other and latch them together with a rope or chain to cover the space. They’ll move to greener pastures.
Make sure you put some old oil or some marbles mystery oil or WD-40 on your driveway before you start up your spread up they look like they're a little bit Rusty they need a little bit of lubrication you don't you run into problems down the road I do it while it's setting it gets a chance to work it way into all the joints on your drive wheels and stuff like that save you a lot of headaches
When you have some time pop the chains off the spreader and put into a container of oil so they are soaking in it till you are ready to go over everything as you will most likely need to pull them off anyways to work on it. Don't even need to use new oil as used oil will work fine as long as it is not milkshaked yet.
Maintenance tip
Get a mop and 5 gal bucket take your used motor oil and just a little diesel to thin and whether you replace the wood or not mop the wood down with the oil and place in the shed get a masonry brush and lube chains and exposed metal
