Hi there! I'm Jay and I'm glad you are here on my channel. My goal with this channel is to show you some tricks I have learned over the years, share some knowledge and encourage you to get out there and try something new. I live with my family in Southeastern KY and enjoy all things outdoors such as hiking, working on the farm and gardening. Growing up on a farm has given me a wide range of experiences that was broadened through my career choice in the sign industry. I have been in business for over 23 years and through the challenges I have faced and people I have met, I have learned a great deal! Come along as I share projects, advice and work from my company and everyday life from beautiful KY.

How did you change out the inline hydraulic filter? Just use crescent on the filter itself or the outer fittings? Don't want to mess mine up ...if i can help it 😬! Thanks for the video...very helpful 😊
I use a crescent wrench on both the filter and the hard line fitting. The filter should stay in place the the line fitting should turn. Make sure to put the arrow on the filter pointing toward the rear of the tractor as well. Good Luck!
@livedlearnedDIY ..thank you sir!!
Super easy and quick! I have a 3520 also and the only thing I wish it had is a cab.
Thank-you
I've got that exact lift. Haven't got it installed yet. How far from the front wall did you install it? Does it seem like you still have plenty of room on front of it when loaded between the front of the vehicles and your toolboos against the wall? Thanks for the video.
I installed the centerline of my posts 15' from the front wall. The distance was suggested to me by a full time mechanic. I have plenty of room for toolboxes. The mechanic said they have used a engine hoists (cherry picker) and other tools in front of his cars without issue. It is perfect if you have enough room. Be careful this thing is very heavy. Don't let the post slide out while lifting. Place a rubber mat or something under the pads while lifting.
Thanks for the info. Worked out perfect. Did your lift come with holders for both sides for the extensions? Mine seem to be missing.
One more thing, did you lube the wire cables with 90w like they tell you to? I'm not sure I want all that 90w gear oil smell in my shop.
I just watched your video again and I see you did get the holders so that answered one of my questions I had.
@@allandebuff1416 Yes there are two, one for each side of the lift. They were packed in that foam paper to prevent scratches
Great Video Thank You for sharing
Cali is a Hottie😊
1st to comment & 1st to give a thumbs up
You rock!
P r o m o S M 😭
Widest gantry crane ever!!!
Nice catch. What type of wood & how did you get it home?
It is red oak and a friend/customer of mine has a two ton rollback wrecker. He helped me get them to my wood yard. It took two trips because of the biggest logs size and weight!
@@livedlearnedDIY nice! 👍 milled my first red oak back in the fall. You are right about the weight. I had 3 9’ logs that I put in my dump trailer all around 30” diameter. The base log I could barely get off the ground with the grapple.
Shag bark Hickory, that's what we call it here in NC.
We always call them Shag Bark Hickory and the smooth is either Bitter Nut or Pig Nut Hickory in my area! Sugar Maple is considered hard maple, not soft and is just a couple BTU under Oak for firewood. It is a little tough to split but makes for great firewood!🔥🔥
Thanks for the comments. I know different areas of the country have different names for things.
You just came up in my suggested videos. Just subbed! I would like to see more on your saw hauler on your 3 point hitch.
I actually have a video that I just released outlining how I made these. Try this. ua-cam.com/video/990q0CkfP8o/v-deo.html
Nice idea. I need to make something like that for my tractor. Seems there's always something on that to-do list! Watching you tap the hole at the end reminded me of why I love my Big Gator tap and drill guides. There's nothing worse than getting off angle with the tap, so using those Big Gator guides takes a lot of worry off the mind!
Sounds like a great plan. I don’t own a big gator guide but I’ll check it out. Thanks for the info and watching
@@livedlearnedDIY You'll love the Big Gator guides, and wonder how you ever got along without them!
Thanks for sharing
Good video. I have a 3039R that has about 150 hours on it. I will need to do the fluids at 400 hours so appreciate you sharing. I also have a 1026r that has just over 400 hours and I need to do those again. Have a great day!
Excellent share
Very interesting
Nice looking wood, excellent video, new friend here.
Thanks for commenting. That ash sure is easy and fun to split.
My pleasure @@livedlearnedDIY
My part of ky we always called shaggy bark . The 025 bacame the ms 250 and the 039 the ms390.
Thanks, that is some really good info about the chainsaws. I have never traced back the numbers on those.
What part of KY is home for you?
Just found your channel and subscribed. I don’t have hickory up here but lots of maple, hemlock, yellow birch, beech and some cherry. Have a great day!
Does beech make good firewood? I have never processed any beech.
@@livedlearnedDIY yes lots of BTUs. Some say it’s good for smoking too because it’s a nut wood. I like the smooth bark so it is less messy in that respect
That's good to know. We own a 200 acres farm in the foothills of the appalachian mountains. There are several beech trees on the property. I am willing to cut one to find out. thank you. @@adirondackwoodsman
@@livedlearnedDIY No problem. the bases can be a little knotty if they are really large, but they burn great.
you're splitters running lean..give it a tiny bit of choke or put a bigger main jet in it..or the jet or jet passages in the carb could be partially plugged
Thanks for the advice. I could tell something was not right. That was a temporary engine swap. It was also underpowered. I have since gone back to my 19hp v-twin. Much better.
We call it shag bark hickory and smooth bark hickory.
Sexier than socks on a Rooster…😂😂😂
Really handy piece of equipment. Nice job putting together. Obviously ya figured out the deal w safety cable. Take care
Nice place. Big John is perfect for the bigger jobs. Plus like ya said ya gotta run em. Take care
This is the farm where I grew up and I am fifth generation owner, which is almost unheard of these days. Thanks for commenting
GREAT VIDEO ,THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
Pretty cool work, man!
do your friends get to use the lift?
I wonder how many hours that weed eater would have on it by now
That’s a good looking car you’ve got on that lift
Enjoyed watching you work Jay!
Yeah it used to not be child abuse to teach your children how to work and maybe even teach them a trade with my parents did and I've raised three boys and the oldest one is married with two grandchildren and been I've been married for 34 years since I was 19 years old and started my own company when I was 16 years old because I had a family that taught me to work and to achieve what a good you know and that's what I done but nowadays you know use the take your kid to work with you 8 or 9 years old and I'm going to tell you when I was old enough to pick up trash if I was old enough to go get some tools I went to work, teacher work day summer break Christmas break spring break it didn't matter if I and Saturdays if I was not at school I had to go to work cuz I don't mean I had to work all day but my grandparents on the bunch of rental houses and on the trailer park sometimes the pipes the bus and we got to go get up under that cold trailer and fix them busted pipes or even a house or toilet leaking or something you know and and you know learn to trade
Sounds like we had about the same kind of parents, grandparents and role models in our lives. Good for you keep that tradition alive my friend!
You definitely did kill the hog. But you did not mistreat it. You helped it complete its role in this world.
I plan on making a more informative video this year and trying to not screw up as much. Thanks for watching
Big Johnny didn’t ever bat en eye. Impressive. Good luck w the bee’s😆
Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug. Great idea and ya know what happened and why it happened. A few adjustments and you’ll be splitting again. Wolfe ridge splitters economy models use bolt on 4ways. Keep up the good work
Thank you for your comments. It means so much to me.
That’s one heck of a candy store. Thx for showing 👍
Nice job👍ya said ya bought 3520 used. How many hours were on it when ya bought it. Thx
I think the tractor had around 2300 on it. I recently replaced the heat gasket, but other than that it just keeps humming along.
Important to us guys to ensure we can avoid mistakes . Cheers
I have a 2003 John Deere 3520 the rear pro shaft is moving slow but the underneath pit for belly mower works fine. Any ideas what is wrong?
That is not an issue I have had to deal with before. I really don't have any advice on this subject. Sorry. Wish I could help.
Great video! I bought a 3320 from an auction and I just got some parts to do the maintenance on it as well. I had a chance to look at the writing on the filter the other day and it wasn't change since 2019 and it is 2023. Definitely time to change it since I want the engine and transmission to last.
That is one of my favorite places on earth. Such a great example of God’s creation!
Love it Jay. Felt like I was at Cedar Head and Betty’s circa 80’s.
Why did no one else get a nickname? Makes me tired just watching!
Suzanna Slayer?
Great video- especially the old guy pretending to sharpen knives. Wonderful friends and family weekend with delicious results.
Thanks 👍
It's not free unless the deliver it to you! You should be charging for that work.
JD wanted over $1000 to do a full 400 hrs service. After watching your video, I bought all the parts and did it myself, saving more than $500 in labor costs on my 3720. Thanks for the video!
used motor oil is a known to cause cancer so wearing the rubber gloves is the thing to do. Was the last filter change the hydraulic oil filter and fluid fill......you do not say in the video?
Love the creek!
I learned something today. Great work!
