      I have seen rain hit the mud from a field on a tar road.... it's like snot and slippery as heck. Someone driving, especially at night, can really slide around on the road and have an accident! So glad that most farmers clean off the roads! Thank You Larson Farms for scraping the road! 👍👍

    @kendreher3301 Рік тому +1

    Dougo, your memory is still good, however I'm 74 and I question mine, and I understand you like a brother. With regard to the nut on left side of the bracket looking at it from the rear of the flail machine is explainable. It is easier to understand if you look at the machine's rotor from the left side of the machine with the front of the machine to your left side. This understanding is associated with the definition that most farm grade bolts have a right hand or clockwise thread. Now if the rotor is rotating clockwise, throwing debris forward toward the tractor as you stated, then the bolt that secures the flail blade will also have a clockwise rotational momentum. If the securing nut is placed on the right side of attachment bracket, observed from rear of machine, not to the left as you show, the clockwise rotational momentum of the bolt will be tightening itself into the nut because its rotational mass is greater than the mass of the nut.
    However, the flail blade is not rigidly attached to the rotor, and when it hits something abruptly, it changes its direction 180 degrees and its instantaneous rotational momentum increases substantially in according to what it hits, stalks, ground, rocks, etc. These changes in forces in conjunction with the frictional coupling between the flail blade and the attachment bolt facilitate the transfer of these new forces to the nut, thereby reversing the original tightening effect on the nut, each strike is like that of an impact driver in the reverse direction. This is all changed by rotating the attachment bolt 180 degrees, nut on other side of the attachment bracket, as you showed, now each impact tightens the nut, just as you mentioned.

    So back around 78 -79 my first job was working at DuPage County Fair Grounds here in west burbs of Chicago. One of my tasks was to mow the big parking lots. We had a yellow J-D no cab with a bucket out front and 3 point in the back. The mower was similar to this unit but it had different style cutting blades. It had like two chain links and then a V shaped thing at the end. I was always surprised at the carnage I would see at the next time around. Lets just say those woodchucks didn't see their shadows in Feb.

    This is a good example of the mud/dirt you guys actually deal with up there. It looks very strange to those that farm the sandy loam ground in most of the midwest. Additionally, it's so muddy on top you would think the equipment would just sink up to the axles instantly. This is very strange!

    The “ooz” is caused by tiny air pockets in the grease. The gun compresses the pockets of air when dispensing the grease. Then when you release the trigger, the compressed pockets of air in the gun and hose push the grease out end of the hose.

    @mikebonnett7730 Рік тому +3

    good job Dougo balancing those blades on the stalk chopper now you should try it on a automobile and sheet iron shredder. the one I worked on and fed was a small one compared to the mega shredders they make nowadays but it had 30 hammers two rows of 8 two rows of 7 and the hammers weighed on average 220 lbs each and they had to weigh them so they weighed as close as possible on the two rows on opposite sides and they even had to keep track of how much welding rods or wire they used when they welded on the rotor so they used the same amount on each side. the bare rotor when it is new weighs 25 ton and by the time they put the 30 hammers and the pins that holds them in and the end caps on the end of the spiders it weighs over 30 ton and just a couple pounds out of balance and it shake the ground and the building and it feels like an earthquake. the mega shredders have hammers that weigh 800 lbs they are about waist high when new and in two days they will be about half that size and weight and they get removed and sent back to the foundry and melted down and made into new ones. our shredder will do approximately 450 ton of finished ferrous metal in a 10 hour shift and the mega shredders will put that out every hour they can load rail cars and build up the stockpile at the same time. the biggest shredder I know of is in Indiana it was built in the 2010’s so there might be a bigger one somewhere now

    Oozing grease gun - I would put a long solid pipe for most of the length (which won't expand) and a short flexible end on that to allow getting in to tough spots. That should take care of the majority of the wasted grease.

    Dougo, you need to pump the grease in until the dirty grease is out and you see new clean grease!

      That’s the way you blow the seals out of them, over greasing.
