The top bracket on the high lift jack is so it can be used as a large clamp, or for tensioning fence wire for instance.just keep it safe in the workshop where you can find it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The old barn/shed, replace the pillars with used second hand telegraph poles which you can get from a utilities company. Another great video, always a lot going on on your farm, makes good viewing.
New sub here from a little farm near newbury! Mostly horses and pony’s but getting some alpacas joining us on Monday. Love the content, our tractors/balers/machinery is all about a1/4 of the size of yours haha
When that directional latch on the Hi Lift jack is in the up position, you should be able to pull up to the point of work......you don't need to crank it all the way up. In the down position, with no load it'll drop to floor. Careful when lowering anything with weight, they'll self crank all the down faster than you can say "LOOK AT THAT"
The Top Piece on the Hi Lift jack can be used as a Clamp or turned up you can put a shackle throgh the Hole and use a s hand winch make sure you keep the mechanism well oiled
Bottom of shed posts, dig a hole around the post get a 200L barrel or a bit of twin wall pipe split in half long ways, strap it around base of post in the hole then fill with concrete, once concrete is dry undo strap and take the pipe/barrel mould off
Feeling 95% still 🙂 Olly the red bit on top of the 'farm jack' is so you can use it to squeeze things. Great fun patching up slate roofs. Use silicone instead of resin, it gives a bit more flex and if ever you needed to get them off again it can be cut a lot easier. For the other barn with the rotten pillars, in the past I have seen concrete cast round them using 210L drums to help give them some extra years till funds allow a new building. The barn doors look spot on and think it needs a tractor weather vain.
Gooday Olly. The Trewhella Jack (or monkey jack), was invented in Australia in 1880 to assist with the clearance if trees, plenty of which went on those days - all done the hard way. almost everyone who goes off road 4x4 driving in Aus. would have one their vehicle. They are also common of Aus. farms. Have a great 2022. Regards Noel Vic Australia.
thats cool think the top bracket is for when you use to pull out of sticky situations or grab another part of the machine, me finks the pigoen that left that resin :) took the slates off :)
Those jack's can be used for a lot of different job's! I have 2 of the longer one's which I use to hold tractor cab's up when wheeling out the transmission attached to the engine. Put a wee bit of belting on the part which touch's the trailer when jacking to prevent it sliding as the angle is changing as trailer raises. You could get a serious doing if it slid when lining up pin.
Hi Lift jacks have so many uses. Lift, push, pull, clamp, tension . I mostly use mine for post or stump pulling so use the top jaw as an anchor incase it slips. The jack can be used as a puller for getting a vehicle out of a hole with the top jaw set vertical and a D link or strap hook through the hole.. also can Used as a clamp or a spreader are a few other uses. Great for heavy duty wire tensioning. The jaws can be turned either way for top or bottom use. The top jaw can also be used as a secure anchor .. they are also made to hold D link or chain. Ps: tractors look Naked now lol.
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer very handy. Weld up a wedge to attach on the top clamp and you also have a log splitter but be aware of the log flying lol.. not for the faint hearted.. 🤪😁
If the steel on the bottom of the pillars on the dutch barn are rotten, we used to cut a 45 gallon drum down the middle them put it around the pillar and fill it with concrete. I remember as a kid seeing them 2 or 3 drums high in places !
Great video, those jacks are awesome, I have one in my Landy oh boy has that got used on so many other jobs. I first used one years ago when I got in to plant hire and used to lift Jack leg cabins up so I could back the lorry underneath them. The bit at the top gives you the option to use it like a large G clamp. 95% back to work today.
Ingenious tool for me is an induction heater I bought before Christmas Rusty bolts or nuts 2 minutes quick heat job done and I don't have to worry about setting fire to anything around where I work,love the new intro 👍
When you have got weight on the jack and you have got it clicked down be carful if you stop and let go of handle, I had one go down on its own with handle swinging up and down.
HiLift is an exxelent tool, just take some getting use to. You can also pull with it. Just make sure you spray it some. They never cught on here in Sweden, but I have two. All american farmers have on their pickups🤠
for lifting the trailer, we used one of the extendable legs off an old lorry trailer we converted into a bale trailer, it wasn't too hard to fabricate and we had a steel plate on the bottom of it to give it a much bigger footprint plus it would lift a lot more weight than the one you're planning to use.
Videos are getting better and better! I like the little "whats coming up" bit! Ingenious invention....got to be the cable tie, so simple but where would we be without them 🤷♂️😉
The jack looks a handy bit of kit. 99.99% today, what a difference the sun makes. Love the views from the roof, Thanks and take care. Grandsons love the calendar by the way.
The red part on the top of the high lift jack can also be fitted below the jack and used as the jaws of life aswell and open up crushed cars to an extent I do have the manual for mine some where I'll dig the pics n info out for you
Good idea with the jack for the trailers, could you have used one of the lift arms of a tractor to lift and blocks of timber to hold in place, (not as safe but )
Like your nifty jack Ollie We use that silicone with are loose slates great view of the wheat from the roof ,Tractors look naked now you've take all the Christmas lights of them put them all away till next year for another fantastic llight show Eddie
The bit on the top off the high lift jack is so you can use it to pull like a come along or to hook over a bar and pull up a load or as press between the jaws. Agree with Duncan above need a good base for it. Have had them sink in the mud. Keep the springs and pins clean and lubricated. “Watch your fingers they bite!”
@@rescuecow90 That and when they have weight on them and your trying to lower the jack if the Dawgs don't engage fully the handle will come up and take your teeth out.
Project stone trailer looks Great Olly - Amazing what a few days hard graph and a couple of cans of paint can do! It has really made a tremendous difference to what will now be a valuable asset to the fleet. Clever work on the slate roof and barn doors. Tidy!
On this Video 6min in when setting Jack up you should be able to pull it up to drawbar then lock catch to start jacking up. Bit like when you lower & it drops to floor. Landrover off roaders use them & ex boss used same as you to double trailers up 1991
Beautiful clear crisp day today.🌞 Best invention for farms would have to be the telehandler, are you not bothering with a greedy plate on the front of the stone trailer? 🤔
my front room is looking bare like the Fendt,been de-christmatised, 100% today, finally got some mangense and trace elements on my barley today,it's looking a treat (probably looking too well)
If you take the top bit of that high lift jack and turn the ratchet bit over then put the top bit back on the other way up you can prize things apart it’s bloody handy used one many times. Just be careful they aren’t the safest things to use.
Quiz answer has got to be the ratchet strap. Would it be easier for hitching trailers to put them down on a block of wood at the right height rather than jacking.
Hi olly did you decide not to Put the extra piece on top of gravel cart for when you are loading it with handler bucket ?? Or is it we just cannot see it
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer when you park up your trailers have you considered lifting the bodies and resting the front on a block of wood so that they don't fill up with rain water. That's what many Lincolnshire farmers used to do.
@@OllyBlogsAgricontractfarmer the volume of oil is irrelevant because, let's say 2 litres was in the rams when the trailer is picked up, the 2 litres are merely being put back when the trailer is dropped off. So the 2 litres of oil would be a one off investment for the life of the trailer. However messing about with the blocks in the dry season isn't worth the hassle. So do you mean the problem is increased contamination of different back end tractor oils?
Put Sam behind while you have a shot at the padlock😉. Black beauty looks well and the stone trailer is a lot tidier now. Hope you had a good Christmas and New year matey. I enjoyed the break from moving tarmac machinery around but back at it yet again.
The stone trailer looks really good. I was amazed when I looked on line and found one just like yours but what amazed me was the price I won’t tell you but it was in the thousands and I’m sure yours wasn’t that sort of money so you’ve got, I suspect, a bargain!!
Sales if high lift jacks had just gone through the roof, hope you are on commission🤣🤣 just been watching mike Canadian farmer on UA-cam trying to start his 724 at minus 30. I Couldn’t cope with those low temperatures
Hi Olly, you made a decent job of the roof,just un time for some challenging weather heading our way 🙄 Speaking of challenging, I watched a short video earlier of a Claas Xerion having a tug of war with a Claas 960tt... results are in... it was a draw, neither could drag the other an inch.. Best invention?? Got to be a flushing toilet 😁
Hey Ollie would you not look into people or organizational that have bird's of prey for your pigeon problem and let them use your fields to exercise them.....
In my area , Ontario Canada , that jack goes by the name Jack-all jack . Also known as the widow-maker jack due to their unreliable nature or tendency for people to miss use them
Agree, we have a few of the “jack allsl but definitely one of the most dangerous piece of kit on the farm. But they are handy for hooking up equipment when they aren’t tipping over.
Great video again thanks for slowing the birthday number just right 👍🤠🇦🇺
Good content as always Olly! Don't forget the TwinTrac Valtra's,2nd steering wheel and pedals at rear,fantastic tractors

Use black gutter silicone on your slates, much better that the two pack resin your using & cheaper 😀 😉
I doubt it some one gave it me 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta be a bearing press/ knocker/ puller for me. Such a simple piece of engineering but my god do they work.

Olly , what % moisture do you dry the wood chip down to ? I see Crawford farms buy it in at around 22% . “Ready to burn “ logs have to be under 20%
Under 25%
Me and my gramps used that Jack to lift up heavy tonne grave stones to renovate a graveyard 3 years ago and it works a treat 👌
