  • Join along as we wrap up with the bull dozer and get it back to Macfadden & Sons. Where we check out a serious piece of tillage gear. Then back home to tinker on the 4640 and give plowing a try till mother nature shuts us down. Thanks for watching along

    Hey Duffy. If you want to get all the life out of those saddle tanks I highly recommend pulling the straps off and cutting down an old inner tube and put rubber between the tank and the bottom saddles and between the tank and the metal straps this will do 2 things keep the metal from rubbing into the plastic from weight and vibration and it will help keep the plastic tanks from turning if the straps loosen up. It’s a quick cheap thing to do to prevent premature wear on the old plastic tanks. Just a friendly fyi DIY way to keep them as long as possible. I have seen tanks ruined with rubber protection. Love the channel watch Dailey EVERY SINGLE episode and try to comment on most to either try to help with a little advice from a wise older man who has been around the block a few more times and seen a lot done a lot and don’t mind sharing. Keep up the great content. Oh and if you didn’t live at the other end of the country I would come get the mower dialed in for you. Maybe help run a tractor do some plowing or some wrenching but I love way down south in GA and your way up north in NY. If I ever come up your way I’ll see if you want some help for a day or two. I’m a damn good mechanic a certified welder and pretty dang good fabricator. And I was a farm boy for 14 years started working at 5 yo even learned to drive at 5. Pretty good at it too.

    Get some old nylon straps, take those bands off and lay the straps where they touch the tank. It will help from rubbing a hole in them.

    Hi Chris, thank you for all your videos, great job! As you have already discover so many times before: having the right tool for the job makes all the difference in the world. This is also true for cleaning tracks on earth moving machines; using a track shovel makes the job 10 x less difficult and less time consuming. One can also use a short handle 4 to 5 inch wide drain spade or drain shovel as well. Best of luck for this crop year! Regards, Bob

    Chris, I am one who wouldn't sell my moldboard plow either, but it would seem to me that you might do better a leveling your ground and holding dirt on those hillsides with trash on top. I've never farmed in NY or NE nor studied how is best there, but for speed and so many other purposes, on your previous year's crop ground, why aren't you using a field cultivator or similar. (I know the $ issue too)

    You know some of your fields you could get away with just putting a dish to it run it over a couple times. I know it’s in your blood and the way you’re raised to plow, but sometimes you just gotta look at it, but I think you could get away with just running the disc a couple times on some here fields there in good shapefrom last year

      Plowing is the only option to try dry out wet heavy soil. Disking that would turn it into a mess. Seen that before. It's almost to wet to plow.

    One of your fields you plowed had very high organic matter, plowing is going to burn up the organic matter, have you tested your land with a potentiometer to see where the hard pan is? It wouldn’t surprise me if the hard pan is below your plow, plus where you’re plowing will probably create a plowing hard pan so you will have two hard pans and a loss of organic
    I had cattle grazing on a gentle slope there was a lot of run off. I took a ripper in with only two of five shanks in the ground next significant rain no run off. I have two 5 shank rippers I think I paid 650 for one and 950 for the other, I’ve seen many for sale for around 1 thousand dollars.

    Duffy I know how expensive everything is and there's always something that can be bought to make life easier on the farm and the list is long, however if you could get a set of dual wheels for your 4640 it would make it a completely different tractor, those tractors are really to heavy to run on singles and be efficient, I know on my 4840 the duals are a must have

His marginal ground is suitable to no-till about once every ten years on that rare early warm dry spring.
