- 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
What a difference 12 months makes.You ploughed planted and harvested your own crops,rebuilt your truck,became a father,tickling with the idea of more cows,made good connections and friends up there, you are going well Duffy,congratulations.
Great progress around the farm. Everything takes time an money. You doing good. It's not gonna happen over nite. Hopefully you can find yourself a chisel plow this fall .
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.
Love this channel and the hustle from Chris
Great video Chris that was good explanations great thank you
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
Farm progress 👍👍👍
Those saddle tanks will stretch expand when filled. Watch the toolbox bolts
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)
That Deere vertical tillage came from an auction in Ontario it looks exactly like what I seen sell there they had 4 of them I believe they sold for $22,000 Canadian $ or $ 16,500 us funds .
correct
And now they're asking $60,000 Plus for them I know it's good to make a profit😊

I'm really surprised the 450J didn't knock down the obsolete building...... but maybe you are saving it for the 7520/blade to do it....?
Chopper went by yesterday, saw a haybine moco moving tonight...
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.
@@Otherrandomguy42 what about ripping?
we got 7 inches of rain last thursday so 24 hr period in north ga last week. Its going to rain another 3 inches tuesday. Their goes our plans to cut hay for the next couple weeks
Chris did you hear of Andrew Carmada’s channel well he owns a whole mountain too in NY state. He is crushing shale for fill and driveway cover. Maybe give him a call out.😎👍
Nice video
Speaking of the bridge you could always use the frame of the dry van your going to scrap
A good portion of the dry van’s strength is in the side wall, without the side wall the frame is pretty weak.
@@davdhynes3518 the wheels would be right on the frame when you drive across unless the frame is junk it would be fine. I haul pickups on my flat bed with no problem
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.
Lmao plowing does not burn organic matter. 🤣🤣🤣
Hey you're power washer with a turbo nozzle on it would have made short work on them tracks.
Put a filter between the tanks and the spray manifold,the amount of crap that ends up in the tanks will save some headaches.
Those yellow with blue hoods are NYSDOT TRUCKs but we all work together
Could frame of parts truck or trailer be repurposed for your bridge?
Looks like you got an 8 row planter, do you have a 8 row combine? Have a machine that would be right up your alley!
No GPS just curiou GPS would be pretty cool as always greatly enjoy your videos and maybe you've said something and I just missed it
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
I got a good idea get one of those chineese 4x4 pickups they are street legal they do 50 to 55 for 8,999 to 10 grand and better than a side by side half the cost and beds have lots of better options sides fold down some you can dump them my lawnmower repair and new sales in ohio told me the price on them he also sells them
Duffy are you going to be using fj dynamics auto steer this year
Press on with PRIDE Chris. Doing good work.
Whatever happened to your electric bike?
Does the 4wd on your plow tractor function properly?
Could you plow with your smaller tractor? Will the smaller one pull that plow
I pulled 6 bottom Deere plows with 20inch bottoms with on land hitch with an IH 1066 in the late 80s duals on.His 4640 should pull everything a 1066 would.
Youll make the pad bigger next time theres more good base material available no sense landscaping around it until its a lot bigger thats only half big enough yet.
What happened to your auto steer
How about notill? Instead of plowing.
On that wet heavy soil?? On a cold wet spring like this it wouldn't get dry enough to plant until late June. He isn't in a competition with Boehm Farm to see who can be the last farm to put seed in the ground. 😂😂. His marginal ground is suitable to no-till about once every ten years on that rare early warm dry spring.
where you able to see the northern lights the last few days i know theirs more tonight

That junk planter can sit outside .
Obviously you don't follow the used market on them. 7200 8-36 brought 5600.00. 7000s in worse shape than that brought 3500. The nicer 7000s were as high as 7000.00.
I don't see you sending him anything
People like your neighbor need to get a life.😅
