Heck of a fine man first time I met him I didn’t know he had a big coat on and I put my hand out to shack his and he put his foot up and I shook his toe we laughed about that just a down to earth guy
hey Brian if you would take the v piece in the bed and put it on top instead of the bottom it will make the lime spread a lot better and it dose not affect the machine spreading fertilizer at all that is what we have done to all our rigs at the coop i work at just thought i would help you out for latter times spreading lime. love your videos
I tore my right bicep a few years ago. Felt like an invalid for a few weeks. Can't imagine how Andy did it, but he became a hero to me when I first saw his videos. Yup, I healed up, but gained awesome respect for Andy and the people who have to deal without every day. I just had a "warranty issue", not a daily thing. RIP Andy, and thanks to you for thinking about him! 👍👍
Suggest that for future night spreading or spraying, install horizontal laser units below the fall pattern. They must be screw fastened. The cheaper magnetic units will move around or fall off. If cleaned after use they last a couple seasons
Brian, ya know, ifn I didn't have a light to see, I thinks I would add one. Perty easy, wouldn't take much time. Glad to see the season get started. Hope it's a good growing season AND pray prices improve.
Good progress...I've wondered why they don't offer an impeller auger for spreading lime to minimize bridging issues. If stockpiled lime gets damp/wet it can be a real pain. Have loaded stockpiled lime when a local co-op was spreading for us and rode on the truck with a shovel to keep bridged lime moving.
Are local quarry has a lime shed. Looks like baby powder & never rained on. You could round that baby full and never have a problem. Keep it coming, love watching.
For BJ, I'm thinking the heat is coming more from the transmission. Some suggestions: a) Make sure the transmission cooler radiator is clean. b) Put a 12v fan under the cab to blow the heat out from under it. For Brian maybe a frame with expanded metal insert placed above braces. Would a) Catch the big chunks before they got to the spreaders. b) Help break up the lime as you bounce over the field.
Ag lime was always one of my least favorite things to dump when I used to pull end dumps! If you think that's a bad amount clinging on to the side, try having a couple clinging to the nose of the end dump lol BTW, it's not fun, lol
I use thick "Welcome Mats" to put my feet on when operating some our heavy equipment that will cook your feet no matter what boots are shoes you where.
Overhere we started spreading liquid manure but the field conditions are not so good, its very wet so we have to wait for some dry spell to come,thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
We are lucky in NW Texas by making 280 bu with a soil of 7.7 ph. We are too wet to strip till from the 2.3" rain 15th December. No need for lime or K with 700ppm. or grid sampling with our uniform clay soil.
BJ to help with engine heat on your feet, get some Dynamat. Add it anywhere you can on fire wall and floor pan inside and outside of the cab. Get some exhaust wrap and wrap exhaust manifold/exhaust that is close to the cab up to exhaust stack. Then double up your floor mats. Bring additional clean pair of socks and some crocs or sandals you can change into if feet start getting hot. Last thing sounds odd but it does help. Wash your feet before you change into the new socks and shoes. It helps open the poors on your feet helping your feet cool down for a little while anyhow. It's what I used to do for an old plow truck I had, the floor would scorch from the headers and just sheet metal floor. The biggest thing that helped was wrapping the exhaust by the cab, and putting down Dynamat under the floor and on top of the floor.
Thanks for another great video Brian. Interesting video and tillage work. You asked about the heat on the floor board that bothered your feet. I have had that myself some years ago. I took some heavy duty truck floor mats and doubled them up. That seemed to help quite a bit. A suggestion anyway. Your ground is working up real nice from your tillage tool. Looks from what the camera sees that your tillage machine is doing a great job on the ground there. Not real heavy soil it looks like. Nice job. About it I guess. Thanks for everything Brian. Getting farm work going again. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
We have 3 large limestone quarrys in my area and the older pits have white lime but the one that is 2 years old is very gray and a lot of moisture so if it sets to long it clumps, so bad it will knock the beaters off the spinners. Hi- cal is another product that comes out of Illinois and is very pricey, looks like brown ball bearings.
Yeah bj I struggled with that too. Jd sells a kit for insulation under the floor mat that you cut out. It’s cheap stuff could probably find it at Menards. But there’s a lot of hydraulic lines that are run right underneath your feed and are secured to the cab. Probably also noticed at that same time you can’t keep a drink in the cup holder long. Bad design with poor heat block. The newer ones aren’t like that.
Differant supply and different process. Chances are you get from Marblehead lime. I see their big white piles in the Indiana Harbor and South side of Chicago driving into the city. Much better stuff.
Good start for the crop season Brian , looks like the lime will go on ,Brad is doing a good job of tilling, see you on the next video Brian , Cheers & Best Wishes to All the Brown Family,regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.👍🐕🦄🦄🦌🐂🐃🐄🐖🐗🐏🐑🐐🐨🐨🐨🐨🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦃🐔🐓🦋🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌻🌼🍌🍍🥭🥥🥑🌽🌽🌽🌽
Funny how high the cost of lime is per ton. All lime is a by product of crushing stone in a quarry. Now I work in a garnet quarry so we don’t sell lime, instead we sell stone dust (same thing as lime without the same benefits). We make so much of it I know we’ve sold it for just over a dollar a ton plus delivery (and that’s where they get you).
Im pretty sure this is the first time you actually started a job first thing without a bunch of plan changes !! Usually dont start a job until about 3 pm. !!! 😂😂
It’s too bad that the spreader hopper doesn’t have a vibration option to help keep the lime from hanging up on the side walls! Or have a silicone release applied to the side walls! Best of luck in 2024!
I'm surprised oxbow doesn't make some sort of agitator option to help prevent bridging. I wonder if even something like an apron chain that just moves above and below the structural tank bars would be enough.
Take that v baffle and mount it on top of the cross members we just welded some flat bar to the bottom of the mount and never had lime bridge again had the same problem on that spreader when in wet lime with it mounted on the bottom
Do they make a kit to agitate the fertilizer? You could make your own with some pipe with a bearing at each end driven by a hydraulic motor. There are hydraulically driven vibrators that could be mounted to the side that might work too.
Andy Detweiler lost his arms when was 2 years old, so he pretty much grew up without any sense of arms and adapted to that. Don't get me wrong, Andy was an amazing human being and inspired myself and so many others in so many ways, but I think if I lost my arms at this point of my life, it would be way harder to adapt.
Usually I just buy the Folgers prepackaged filters through a bunn coffee maker. Makes the most consistent coffee in my opinion without taking 30 minutes
R.I.P Andy Detwiler. No arms = no problem 🤘🏻 man truly showed us anything is possible if you want it bad enough
Heck of a fine man first time I met him I didn’t know he had a big coat on and I put my hand out to shack his and he put his foot up and I shook his toe we laughed about that just a down to earth guy
I have a buddy missing his right for arm and he still runs equipment like a pro. Super impressive.
That is. Where there’s a will there is a way
First farming video of the year! I didn’t think I was going to make it. Thanks Brian’s Farming Video .
Great job guys !
I am very grateful for your videos, I wish you prosperity
My suggestion to the engine heat on your feet: take the lid off an old cooler and place it on the floor as a foot rest. It’s durable and insulated.
I love a field work video. Just wish I could smell them
hey Brian if you would take the v piece in the bed and put it on top instead of the bottom it will make the lime spread a lot better and it dose not affect the machine spreading fertilizer at all that is what we have done to all our rigs at the coop i work at just thought i would help you out for latter times spreading lime. love your videos

Put that inverted V, that sits over the belt, on top of the cross members. It makes the lime flow WAY better. It’s fine for fertilizer as well.

Manage to fish that nozzle out of the 8400 pan?
Your systems for doing that are amazing!
@@dedogster we think so lol
Great video hope you guys are doing great it snowed about 5 inches here in Missouri today so seeing dirt move is a treat 😂
Brain the JD purchase was a good call.
Looks like the new tillage tool is doing a good job.
Brian i would recommend removing the center divider in the spreader body this will help
Good to see ground work for 24
Always nice to hear Mornin first thing.
Happy subscriber 😊!
Great Video Brian, you lime seems different to lime in New Zealand, ours is white and once dry it runs through spreaders very well! thanks for sharing
I wounder if it's been put through a kiln?
We are lucky in NW Texas by making 280 bu with a soil of 7.7 ph. We are too wet to strip till from the 2.3" rain 15th December. No need for lime or K with 700ppm. or grid sampling with our uniform clay soil.
if you put a couple of baffles in the spreader bin you won't have the hard packing, I think could be wrong...Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brian maybe a electric thumper
welded/secured on the sides of UR spreader may help the cloggin problem. I used them on my crusher hopper worked great.
another great video! always learn something
We love youall!! N no not de other way. We just appreciate n great full for you all.!!! N really glad uall in Buckeye 😂

I am from Illinois, are lime is very high in calcium. Very white in color. It usually flows out really good.
Differant supply and different process. Chances are you get from Marblehead lime. I see their big white piles in the Indiana Harbor and South side of Chicago driving into the city. Much better stuff.
That Sanford did a great job. The field looks real smooth
We put a big spot light on other spreader to see in the box while it was dark
On the floor of our 9510R I put down a carpet sample. From the flooring store works great. Cheap and when they get old just replace it.
Great video as always
My grandpa always put a piece of plywood down to put his feet on to restrict the heat .
Im a firm believer of Lime on fields plus soil testing is obligatory!
thank you
Loose the morning loose the day 🙂
Their is a stick on product used by all of the car guys to stop sound and heat transmisson. I believe it is called Lizard Skin. Hope it helps.

That spreader needs a large vibrator attached to the box. I have seen those in sand cast factories that move a lot of sand.
Hi Brian from the UK and keep the videos looking 😂
Great video Brian. thank you and BJ
Wow amazing
Find a dutch store and get yourself a pair of wooden shoes. Works great keeping your feet cool.
Miss old Andy he was impressive
He was truly an inspirational man
BJ buy a fendt heard they don’t run long enough to get warm. Also sounds like you might be running a high transmission temperature.

Morning
Mount some vibrators on the spreader box and it will help with the product flow
Thanks

Hello! Some tillage, at last!
10:05. Brian show that crap to the limestone seller! That stuff could have caused damage. They didn’t give the material free to you!
Take that v baffle and mount it on top of the cross members we just welded some flat bar to the bottom of the mount and never had lime bridge again had the same problem on that spreader when in wet lime with it mounted on the bottom
shout out to the Harmless.... R.I.P Buddy
great video
I have ran JD 410/560 pulling tillage and your feet get really hot I found. They bonce way more frost ripping had red river clay in north dakota.
Good video

BJ, Harbor Freight Anti-Fatigue Foam Mat
You drop tillage video same day we get 4 1/2 in here in Galloway Ohio about an hour now from you
🔥that salford sure is doing a nice job working ground.. bj, try some Sandles 😂🔥👊🔥⚙️🔨🚜🏍
Afternoon
need to weld some air vibration devices on the floater box?
You can put on a light bar
Mornin
Looks like you and BJ are riding the quarter kiddy pony in front of Walmart.
Look at the dust fly! It is pretty dry for February there I guess!
Yep

Is this the first year for you guys farming it?
Keep hearing something about how it was tilled that makes it rough
No we screwed up a few years ago bj was running to vt a touch to fast and it made the field rough
If you're bridging up raise the v plate in the box
Where do you get your lime out
Do you add lime every year to every field?
If the soil test said to but typically it’s not a every year thing
Do you normally spread this time of the year
Have before
@@BriansFarmingVideos didn't know if you were doing it because of the nice weather
That’s Not Very Bright White so I’d Test It ?
I live in Missouri where we have High testing Lime!
First field work video
Funny how lime looks different in different places
@Te.le-gr.am_Me_BriansFarming7 no we can't shit for brains. Do people actually fall for your crap?
Where do you get your lime if I may ask?
ohio asphaltic limestone , in hillsboro
20%calcium 11% mag
Hey Brian what's your favorite type of coffee to drink
Hot
Hell yeah that's the way I like mine. But what's your favorite kinda of coffee to drink lol.
Usually I just buy the Folgers prepackaged filters through a bunn coffee maker. Makes the most consistent coffee in my opinion without taking 30 minutes
Why Mag lime?
Ok but we need an update on the oil pan
👍
🇨🇦
Chainsaw pants saved my life, just saying. Play safe
I don't see that much, those fertilizer barns are a great idea; multipurpose and all !!
Would you let me walk your fields looking for arrowheads?
No these are landlords fields so I don’t give permission for that and they don’t like people on there property
I wish u would run tillage more in John Deere
That’s BJs baby
So many safety stickers on the side windows they are a hazard from blocking your view…

February and you are doing tillage. Seems nuts to me
Put your hogback on top of cross members
