  • The busyness of Springtime field work is upon us. With warmer days, the guys have decided to try out the McFarlane vertical tiller for the very first time.
    Also, we are still doing some green chopping of the rye, but not for much longer, as it will be heading out very shortly.
    Thanks for watching!

    The winds have been around 50 mph and dropped down to 35 degrees. Strange weather all over. I am jealous of your rain and green. Man those fields are looking so nice. God bless you guys.

    Nice to see the Challenger up and running again. Liked the drone shots, but wished we could hear the Challenger engine barking away. Like Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor would say,....."More Power" (then his grunting noises). Don't know if you have a video planned for next Sunday 5-12-2024, Mother's Day, or not. But if you don't, I will wish you a Happy Mother's Day now!!!

    Sanders schooled on that EGR cooler haha. I agree with Kevin all that crap they've got bolted onto engines now is lousy.. the problem is it's not going away so I've just kind of accepted it at this point. Great video I enjoy hearing Kevin talk about the crops. That bird flue is really something, hopefully that doesn't go too much further

    The McFarlane Reel Disk worked great for us we recently upgraded to a Kinze Machtill. The reel disk loves speed the faster you go the better it does. We tried to keep it around 9 mph. Make sure to keep several wheel hubs on hand though that's the biggest issue we ever had.

    Challenger! I agree, don't understand EGR, always think it's an add-on, it's annoying. Life of a farmer... yay rain, boo rain, yay sunshine, boo sunshine, yay wind, boo wind, yay kids, boo kids (just joking about the last bit (but it's kinda true)). Not saying that farmers change their mind a lot, just having to depend on that weather.....

  • @omegalpha28
    @omegalpha28 19 днів тому

    the egr has to be cooled before it its recirculated into the engine. it will use a cooler similar to an oil cooler where the exhaust is passed thru a series of tubes incased in a water jacket. without doing this it would cause the EGTs to rise to a dangerous level.

    Good morning, Kevin, Ronda and family. Around here we've finally gotten a few dry days and grain is going in the ground right across from me. With all the silage remaining, will you continue to feed it til it's gone, or will the warmer weather cause it to spoil? Blessings for your family and farm, have a safe week.

    • @acresofclayhomestead
      @acresofclayhomestead  23 дні тому

      All the silage from last year will remain until we feed it up. Silage will not spoil if stored properly.
