I won't be in the comments much today at least this morning, we got 6.5" of rain over night so I will be out assessing the damage. Hope every one else in the path of beryl is ok.
I hope you’re not having had too much damage! 🙏🏿🤩🐶
Wow, that's a lot!!!
@@LumnahAcres holy smokes thats to much rain, i hope everything is okay at 2.0
@@homesteadedman4784 Thanks when I went to bed we had 1.5" and when I checked at 5 it shows 6.5" Not sure Ive ever seen this much this fast
OH MY GOODNESS IM PRAYING 🙏🏼 FOR YOU LUMNAHS 🙏🏼
I PRAY 🙏🏼 THE LORD LETS YOU GET THROUGH THIS RELATIVELY WITH MINIMUM DAMAGE! GOD BLESS YOU JUST KNOW YOU'RE IN MY PRAYERS 🙏🏼 AL GINA & OLIVIA!!!
Al. There is a you tube channel with a gentleman named Pete from Ithaca NY ( Just A Few Acre Farm) Pete restores tractors and other farm equipment as a hobby. Not to long ago he did a simple restoration on a manure spreader. You may find it helpful.
I love Pete! His wife Hillary too!
Good idea. I just told Al the same thing before i saw your comment lol.
Load it with your Excavator
I'm glad that others know of Hilarie and Pete's channel Just a Few Acres Farm - his channel has a wealth of information on it for a small farmer - Pete explains what he does and why he does it in a wonderful story-teller way which makes his stuff all the more fun to watch and learn. I think the left-hand lever adjusts the speed of the feeder while the right hand lever turns on and off the entire mechanism. (Left-handed lever is actually on the "passenger" side of the tractor)
And he uses the restored equipment.
Cleaning up after the last load and then greasing and doing some repairs and adjusting the chain ⛓️💥 will help. The video is not showing the fan in back and it may need to be moved forward to throw the manure better so it will not dump straight down but into the fan and get spread out. When you put it away after cleaning. It needs a roof over it. That may be your next build for equipment. I’m 72 now and was driving a farm tractor for grandpa at 6 years old. And seeing your smile makes me happy! Thanks for sharing!
PS: I love your coffee! Good job! ✅
Suggestions:
#1 use your waste drained motor and gear oil in a bucket and paint brush to coat rhe drive chains thoroughly, and all the metal parts, pivots. Grease the wheel bearings.
If your going to use the small Kabota remove the mower deck for ground clearance and then add suit case weights to the front or fill the bucket with rocks . You beat up the mower deck as it hangs on its height adjusters as you drive over uneven ground. Using a larger tractor would be prudent over the smaller mower. Is there an adjustment to lower the paddle wheels down closer to the deck?
That would pick up the manure better rather than it just rolling off the edge straight down Get a copy of the Operator's Manual off the internet. There are plenty originals or reprints available, eliminates guess work.
Spreading muck is so rewarding and beneficial to your fields. That spreader was your best tool purchase todate 👍
Kudos to the antique manure spreader, she is a keeper. Put her under cover & take good care of her.
So true. We bought manure spreader just like this at a farm sale almost 40 years ago and it has worked beautifully. Hubby keeps it in the shed and takes good care of her. She is built much better than equipment today. We pull it with a 1962 Case tractor. :)
You know you’re a true farmer when you get excited about flying maneur!!!! Lol
You should screw some plastic guides next to those chains to stop them falling off the sprockets.
Pete from Just a Few Acres farm would most likely answer any questions you have about the 1950's manure spreader. He's pretty knowledgeable about old equipment.
That's about all Pete runs, but they all run well.
@@davidgetchell3633 YEP and He is such a nice guy and would definitely give Al any advice--especially about that slipping chain
Yes, Pete has three videos of him restoring his New Holland spreader, but he also has a New Idea spreader.
@@jamesfenter4194 Hoping to make it to Ithaca some weekend and meet Pete at the market. It would require an overnight stay
You're so cute having fun with your new/old toy. You never fail to make this old lady smile
Same here. I remember cleaning out the barns. So much fun 😫😫🤮🤮
Good morning modern spreaders!😃
Al, I love your way of working your farm. God be praised for how He created the earth and everything in it.
One thing i learned at a very young age is to always drive into the wind when spreading
Same thing with when Peeing ?
Al, look around find an auction.
And buy an old tractor 🚜 to pull the spreader .
That 6.5" of rain will help spread the fertilizer more evenly. LOL "The Poo Slinger" ... Al, you were born to be a farmer 8-)
I love how giddy you got spreading. It was fun to watch. I hope you guys didn’t have any storm damage.
Greetings from Colorado. This video proves that even old things can still work as intended. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I’m glad u gave this ol’ vintage farming equipment a chance. It’s fun to see u excited about slinging turds
n then
Using Forward technology to !recording on a drone.
Your too much
I used a spreader just like that when I was younger, one thing you need to do is slow your apron down and speed up your beaters, you want more of a wide spread vs. all in one area. One thing to keep in mind too much in one area will burn your grass
Good points! I hope Al reads your comment!
Just remember always drive into the wind!!!!
Brings Back a lot Of memories helping grandpa load the Manure spreader. And spreading it on the hayfiride Riding on the tractor with him. He had one just like that. Thanks for the memory flashback.
Oh, those baby turkeys are too cute! I love the way you are trying to encourage complimentary wildlife.
When you told Gina that she would be the first to know if the spreader covered her in compost, I had to laugh. I’m so glad it worked! I liked the camera shots back over the spreader from the tractor, and the drone shots are cool, too.
Yes, having wild turkeys running around, just think of how many ticks they will eat.
Fill that baby up!!! Brings back so many memories ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I planted my first garden when I was ten. The soil was clay and caliche. I used cottonseed hulls to mix in with the soil and then a neighbor lady let me clean out her chicken coop of chicken manure that was 4 or 5 years old. The best garden ever.
I loved hearing Al’s laugh on the tractor!
Never thought I would spend a 1/2 hour watching someone spread manure, but I did thanks Al.
Ok now, your ANTIQUE Manure spreader was built in 1950 and I was born in 1950 but I don't really consider myself as an ANTIQUE just yet lol. I think you should consider restoring it this winter, make it look new again. "Just a few acres" restored his this last winter and it looks great. Maybe check out his video on redoing his.
I, too, was born in 1950. I am a woman and spent summers of my childhood on my cousin’s grandparents’ farm. I am, to this day, interested in all the equipment and implements of farming.
@@anj3595 Well you might be interested Benny Johnson's new video on UA-cam about John Deere going woke😨
Gooooood Morning Modernstedders! Slinging manue with a 1950 spreader with a Kubota and being followed by a drone on a completely solar powered farm is definely Modernstedding! Great video Al, Gina and Olivia!
Take the mower attachment off the Kabota.
Love seeing Al with his new toy. Your pastures and livestock are going to love the results of efforts today.
Okay Al and Gina, I have to say it. Now with the red shelves and a few other accessories it’s time to remove the plastic from the shop man door. Love ya with or without, Dan
I thought the same thing. 😂
Ha ha ha ha we all see it but never sd anything lol
@@basiaboy it'll be hard to remove, nothing like sun baked tape
@@elainem4439 Because it generates so many comments why remove it!!!!
I highly recommend loading OFF, your driveway... I think you're gonna have poo up on your vehicles having to drive through it when it's wet, and, you're probably gonna notice some nice lush grass and weeds growing in your driveway. To tension your chains, you may have to take out a link.
So now, I foresee a winter restoration coming. I think a nice pain job on it with the Lumnah Acres logo on the side. Oh been meaning to mention, any boards you have to replace, use white oak if you can source them. Most likely what's on it now, hence the reason it's lasted so long.
Good tip. One of the commenters said the bottom (Apron) is hemlock but the sides were oak. So you let us know white oak is best. Thanks!
Another thought Al, when loading the spreader park it on grass rather than in the driveway. That way whatever spills will go toward fertilizing the grass/pasture and not grow grass in the driveway and run off.
For the old timey manure spreaders, contact A Few Acres Farm---he rebuilt/serviced his one and it flings and spreads like a pro. Not the same make and model but the principal is the same as is the design.
That manure spreader works well, it really throws that stuff all around, it reminds me of D.C. Great video Al, keep up the good work.
Hey Al, lovin it. Hearing you chortle away while spreading the compost, and how the girls are getting into it, watching chooks never gets old. I used to have them follow me round my little property as they wanted to pick at every sod that I disturbed. Brings back wonderful but simple pleasurable memories. Not only chooks but I had kookaburras sit on my roll over protection while I mowed and ploughing, I loved those birds as they got the snakes before snakes got me.
My grandpa would heap the manure in the same spreader. He pulled it with a Ford 9N. The Ford 9N tractor, which was introduced in 1939, has an engine that produces approximately 23.9 horsepower at the pulley belt and around 12.8 horsepower at the drawbar.
@michaelschultz5584- My brother -in-law pulls the same spreader with a Ford 9N. Works fine. Al is collecting a good amount of gadgets and equipment, both new and old. Will make farmstead life a whole lot easier.
for what I have learned over the years is that you really need to let the compost sit for a complete season and really get mature (decomposed) ...The longer you let it sit the better it spreads as it decomposes more before spreading
Make sure you wash out the compost from the spreader. It will draw moisture and rot the wood/ rust the metal faster.
I really appreciate your work ethic, proactiveness, and frankly, just getting things done! You have a work style that is incredibly productive considering the size of your family.
Good to see you enjoying the compost spreading. What a lot of rain! Hope all ok with your animals. ❤❤🌻🌻
I think I’m just as excited as you are watching you use that composter it’s a pretty cool old machine
Slow down the speed of the floor chain and leave the rotors go as fast as you can, this will leave you with less big lumps, mixture of oil and grease on the floor chain 👍
If you look at 15:54 around, see the floo is coming out too fast. instead of throwing, most of it is dark rows on the ground.
Good morning y'all. WOW..... I'M IN A HURRICANE STATE (FLORIDA )AND WE HAVEN'T HAD THAT MUCH RAIN....That antique spreaders definitely a great investment for your farm.
*Lumnah Acres* Bravo well done, thanks for taking the time to bring us along. GOD Bless.
Hello Lumnah family. Yep speed works best with those old spreaders. Something I notice Al. We took an old paint brush and covered those drive chains with old motor oil. Makes them work easier. Looks like it's doing it's job. I was excited to see how it work. Thanks for sharing.
Goood morning everyone, from David in Omaha. The hidden garden should be producing some veggies soon. Nothing tastes as good as home grown veggies and meats and of course plenty of A2A2 milk. Nice manure spreader, I hope it works good. Have a wonderful blessed day everyone! Cheers!
Good morning David! 👍🏾🤩🐶
Good morning, David!
just wait for a good rain and stand back and watch the green. brings back memories of growing up on the ranch in the 50's.
Al, you need to restore the manure spreader. It would be a great winter time project.
I can't believe I enjoying watching poo being spread but it is quite satisfying - oddly. Sorry to hear about your excessive rain - I hope you all are ok and did not get much damage.
Good morning Modern Steaders! Love seeing the wild turkeys!
Good morning, Frances!
Brings back memories from my teen age years in the "50s". New experiances are always fun. You are testing the metal of old techknowledge.❤
Hi everyone wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful day 🎉
Thanks, Jim! Wishing you the same!
It's fun to see your joy, AL, in your endeavors. May God bless your hard work and the education your life gives us.
The spreader did well, didn't have any reason to think that it wouldn't. Still might need to replace a few boards. But I wouldn't ever fill it on the gravel road, You will be growing weeds in your driveway. And always try to put the trailer on a 90 degree angle to the tractor so you don't spill as much, a couple of buckets were spilling off each side as you dumped. Overall you get an A for your first time using it, you will only get better and better! I think the Kubota did fine and it turns a tighter radius than the big tractor.
Beautiful looking compost!
Like the spreader, I too was born in 1950. So, it’s your Boomer Spreader! Great to see it still working good!
Spreader would make a great restoration project for the winter.
That was downright exciting to see the spreader work and to see Al get a real kick out of it. 👍
With all that rain the manure will be well soaked and going to town on the root system, hopefully not washed away. Living in western NY, many areas were hit with the storm, some tornadoes and tornado warnings east of Buffalo. That was Wednesday midday, we were fortunate to just get mild rain. It is amazing how fast the storm traveled to NH. Praying all is well on the homestead, especially the areas where the beavers like to block the culverts. Will not only have to anxiously await storm update, but also were Gina and Olivia successful on their animal search!?
the two levers at the front as you say engage the spreader, the one with just two notches will engage all the beaters, the one with multible notches controls how fast the bed chain moves and the amount that is spread, the more you move the lever down the more it will apply. load it with your mini digger and put it on the tym, fill it up well and it will spread better with a full high load.
Grew up with an identical model needing chains on hand . Grease for wheels hubs packed
Beautiful great good job Bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
MY FAVORITE NH OFF GRID UA-cam FAMILY!!! Goooood Morrrrrning Lumnahs, AL, Gina, Olivia and subscriber friends and family!

Good morning, CC my friend - You'll get through the dental appointment just fine - think about these videos (or something pleasant) to take your mind elsewhere while that's happening - before you know it, you're all done! Good luck and no pain with blessings on top!

I love Al’s laugh when he realizes it is working!! Pure joy!!
Watch again' the Camera Gina was holding had its lens directly hit by Manure and some Manure flung behind her, as she was walking behind the Spreader with Brutus !
Good morning, everyone!!
Good morning, Chris!
Hello 👋 Al and Gina, I have found over many years of farm work that if you use a spike toothed harrow and drag the pasture after using the manure spreader that the clumps break down very easily and your coverage is better also. I found a small one that I use behind my zero turn mower
Good Day from Kamakura, Japan! 🇯🇵 Hello Lumnah Acres Family & Friends! Have a great Thursday everyone! 👍🏾🤩🐶
Good day Robert ❤ 🐶 ❤
Goooooood mooooorning

@TheKamakuraGardener Thanks, my friend. Am up trying to get a few final stuff done for an early flight this morning
That spreader is a fine piece of machinery. If you had the time and budget, it deserves a restoration.
That old spreader is great.👍
The spreader did a great job! It will be exciting to watch the new growth unfold.
Hi Al,Gina,Olivia,Brutus. That was a great 2 days work Al. The land will look so so good in a short space of time.
Brutus is growing at such a rate he is a wonderful Boy. A last question when will you start to build your workshop . Take care happy family.
U look so happy with your manure spreader Al.😊
show us where you hydro seeded
Al I love watching you with your new toy! Gina just smiles. This video brought back memories of grandpa spreading the chicken house clean out. It was very aromatic for about a week but man did the fields grow. Love you guys!
Good morning everyone! AL & Gina & Ms. Olivia. Runs smooth Maybe some new blades for the spreader if you can find the blade type. God bless
This is an awesome video. I always admired your compost system at your previous farm. Now that you have large animals you can compost on a much larger scale. You are fantastic planners at managing your property. 👏 Your 'Comments' section is the best!
Good morning AL AND GINA AND LADY O ❤❤❤ Allis Well. My area was all good with all the rain we received.
Thank GOD.
SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Spreader works WELL
Excellent
👍🏾🤩🐶
Good morning Evalina God Bless you ! Lumnahs posted a comment in comments Saying we wouldn't see them too much in the comments today, because they got a situation. They got hit by the path of that hurricane 🌀 6.5 inches of rain overnight! That's a lot of Rain 🌧️ in one night ! They need our prayers 🙏🏼 Evalina, so join me in prayer 🙏🏼 for them my friend!!!!! God Bless you my friend
Good morning, Evalina - hope all is well - blessings to you!
Spreader working great the pastures are going to grow like weeds lol!! More animals needed let's see what Gina and Oliva buy!! Stay blessed all!!
Need to get the chain harrow to spread it.
Now those are some very happy chickens. So happy you were able to get this manure spreader. Like you said, it is going to pay for itself in no time...perhaps it already has. Y'all have a Blessed day. Sorry you got so much rain...hope it caused minimal damage.
Good day to all friends in the Lumnah Universe
Good morning Juergen! 👍🏾🤩🐶
@@TheKamakuraGardenergood evening Robert
Greetings, Juergen! Hope all is well!
@@samvalentine3206Hi Sam
Nothing to complain 😂
We have an old manure spreader just like that. Have been using that thing for almost 35 years. Works great!
We have one Case tractor w/a bucket and we have to fill the spreader, then pull it with the tractor and it works great.
I think you should restore the spreader over the winter
I love watching your videos, I faithfully watch you on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Me too ❤ anytime a new video I’m watching
In my younger years I cleaned barns for several farmers I would load the spreader from the rear to the front. The wagon seemed to spread out good. Speed is what makes for better spreading.
Good Morning from the great state of TX. Thanks for all the videos, information that you all put into them.
hi Al ... had many hours on that type of spreader ... yes that guide sprocket need to be tighter and you need to go big and fill hit sky high..have fun
G’day 😊 aw the wild turkey and her babies are cute 🥰 gosh even Arlo has grown up! Sure is a good sight to see the chickens working hard on the pasture 😊👍
Good evening, Agnes - the eggs those chickens produce are probably the most delicious ever with all that forage!
I think it's great that you are putting an older piece of equipment to use instead of it just rotting away in some farmers field. maybe fabricate some angle iron that can be used to guide the chain to keep it from slipping off. Use your waste oil from oil changes, mixed with a little diesel fuel to spray on to the chains and gears to make them last longer and lubricate them well.
Hi, jut noticed, your solar panel are sliding down. check 23:57
Yes'the Portable Outhouses second set of Solar Panels have slid down, needing immediate repair by tightening !
Good eye, Gildenopa !
@@4Classie thank you
Hi guys, not all but a lot of the farmers here in the UK use a liquid manure slurry spreader.
Totally different from their farming operation!!!!!!
Good morning from Siesta Key Florida
Good morning, Bill!
Al, I think the compost is too wet. The dryer the compost is the better it breaks down into powder form. Also, less clumbs. I enjoy the hell out of your vlog.
Good morning folks !
AWESOME VIDEO GUYS 👍😇❤🙏....GOD BLESS YOU 🙏
Good mauhnin Lumnah Acres and friends!
Good morning, Elizabeth!
I would rebuild the spreader with all-new wood and chain sprockets and seal the wood, check out Just a Few Acres with Pete, on how to make a beauty for spreading gold
Goooooood morning Lumnahs!!!!!!!!!
Hello Al, based on what I saw you should restore this machine this winter. New pressure treated wood and strip the steel and repaint all the steel. You got a good deal on the machine so it deserves a restoration.
Best regards
Fred Thomas in Skokie IL😊
What about putting used engine oil on t😊😊
Looks great! One thing for your viewers to know is to be really careful on slopes especially if the tractor is small. The spreader has a relatively high center of gravity. Since the drawbar doesn't articulate if the trailer flips, it can flip the tractor. I'm going to rig up an articulating hitch for mine. -Mike
Nice of you to comment about that. I was wondering with the hitch through the middle of the draw bar if a strange torque due to hill could roll the tractor over. I hope Al keeps and eye out for that!
❤❤❤
Good morning!
Have a great day!
❤❤❤
Good morning, Cary!

Good morning Sam
☀️☀️☀️
I am a Master carpenter Mechanic and Painter , love to tinker with old things and rebuild things better than they are , so I think you should do a complete restore on your spreader and add a bit of height to the sides !
