- Join along as we get the tender ready to go and equipment moved around in preparation of top dressing corn. Power outages have caused havoc but they pull though to get me a delivery. Thanks for watching along.
As far as John goes you can take the farm from the farmer but you can’t take farming out of the farmer. I am sure John likes being involved.
This is why I watch you. Top notch setup and expansion. You share the good and most of the bad in running a large family farm.
Keep up the great work man!! Always cheering for you and your great group of people around you.
Chris , you are so much in a better place all around this year and its all because of your hard work and you refuse to give up when mechanical failures happens and you don't let yourself get defeated , it happens to everyone and its just apart of life when your dealing with farm machinery, you can have the best PM programs for your equipment but you will still have failures but the PM programs due help with less failures over time.
Your addressing small problems this year so they don't become bigger problems later . I am so proud of you for doing more PM programs ( preventive Maintenance)
I will come power wash the Mack anytime !
Keep it simple stupid with the multiple function drill , smart ! I think your corn will recover but tissue samples really do help ! God has blessed you with not allowing the bad storms get to your corn .
All the best to you and Yanko and the boys ! 🐕🐂🐖
Always pulling for you and the farm
Thanks video Chris have a good day.
i love your organic corn
Back in the 1990s I drove dump trucks for a man that owned 12 or so Mack R model dump trucks, Some had 2 filters, some had 3, the ones with 2 held 8 gallons of oil, the ones with 3 held 12 gallons of oil. Mack said the ones with 3 filters and big oil pan were considered extended service engines and the recomended oil change interval for them was 25,000 miles.
Thanks for the video
You need to put your efforts into getting the combine ready. Also he thankful for the rain your receiving. Western Pa we haven’t had any in weeks
You know that thing isn’t going to be ready until a month after he should of started combining
Chuck, I am in Western PA too. Right next to the infamous Butler farm show grounds from last week. Where are you at? We got a half inch on the 4th and then we go to half inch this past Thursday and you are correct it's dry. Funny thing is I have a guy 15 mi North and somewhat west of me here that is still trying to get first cut hay out they're getting a rain every time they turn around hard to believe it's that close to home
@@guydaubenspeck9206 I’m in Indiana county. Same thing, 1/2 inch on the 4th and a little bit last week. Been pretty much it since June time
@@Chuck_cedar hi Chuck Butler county I saw your reply on Duffy's page there. We're feeling a lot better blessed today I dumped an inch and a half out of the gauge about 2 hours ago I went to pick up a couple heifers we're bringing in to breed with our bowl for a friend of mine and ended up with another quarter of an inch. Guess we're getting all of July's rain now. We are in Butler county about a stone's throw south and west of the farm show grounds if you've ever been there I'm sure you've heard of it we raise beef cattle and crops. 5th generation family farm. I also sell seed for growmark over kittanning you don't know if you've ever crossed paths with any of those guys or not.
Don't worry about what anybody else says but I love the old Mack and if we had any in the UK I'd buy one just for the weeekends!
Chris we got some maintance done and service to tender that was great thank you for sharing
Great video of more progress even with problems thrown into the mix. People gettin worked up about dumb shit. Bostrom makes a good seat as well. Praying for everyone dealing with weather and storm damage.
Man that nice building with the square bales is leaning a lot more since the storms 😉
I drive by that dealership quite often while delivering fuel to gas stations.
The GSI grainery equipment manufacturer is next door.
You have enough room at the front on the tender trailer to use it for carting water as a spray tender as well
We've always sprayed our fertilizer equipment with used oil. Super easy and fast. Maybe 15 min to spray your tender. Then followingbyear a quick pressure wash
Hi Andy, i have had pully wear to a sharp edge and wear the belts fast. Something to chack.
Never know what the weather will be from one minute to the next just lucky that the Storm didn't cause much damage for you
Chris you can mix PB Blaster and ATF . 50 - 50. add a big shot of Dawn dish soap. Spray all the rust on tender or anything you don't want to keep rusting. It is messy but works awesome. We us it on our dairy farm all the time. Just a hack for you. Keep doing you my friend.
Some of the Real Kool Kool Kool tractor ❤ and its Awsomeness Grabbing Gears Let Her Sing!!! Pretty kool!! Tell 46 Dat de hillbilly 29 says hello n Rock On!!
Eldorado seats , either love or hate, I don’t care for them, they pinch the small of my back, glad it works for you ! ,
Chris you could UV epoxy line the inside of the fertilizer tender. Donezo!!!!!!!
Wish knew that you were going there I'm a big fan I live in Decatur Illinois and have friends that live in Assumption Illinois
Can you buy fertiliser when it’s cheap and store it in the barn???
Howzit Chris. Great job. You are on the right path regarding your mindset of nitrogen leaching. Just a question: Wouldn't you consider using NH3 application ahead of planting to mitigate leaching
Very little NH3 used in NY
Build machine shed first, then farm. You loose thousands of dollars a year with equipment sitting out. Put a dam tarp over 8820 grain hopper
I have run green belts and they would last more than a year of running the black belts wouldn’t last a year before having to change them out
Nice fixing 👍👍👍
They can pay that road but it's not going to last more than a year they got to get rid of all that loose stuff where it sunk down and build it back up from the base to make it last
My dog 🐶 rides on scooter 🛵 4 wheeler and tractor 🚜 in a milk crate and he loves it
Be as conservative as possible with fuel this year. I'm sure diesel will drop this winter. Remember 4 years ago on road diesel was $1.89 a gallon. The way it's looking people might wise up this election cycle.
Isn't nottogen something you need to feed the plant with yearly? What does organic matter help with nitrogen?
Organic matter retains water reduces leaching of the nitrogen you apply in bigger rainfall events.
@@Otherrandomguy42 that makes sense. But organic matter also uses nitrogen to break down.
@zacmiller9384 also organic matter helps to facilitate natural structure of soil for healthy microbial activity, therefore releasing trapped nitrogen and nutrients in soil for plants to consume. I'm not a scientist, so maybe this came off as stupid.
@@zacmiller9384the research I read said that although the living organisms ( microbes) that are breaking down your organic material are using up nitrogen and a lot of carbon when they die they release that nitrogen making it readily available for plants to use. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ Same with the carbon they're using idk. Maybe that's not right but I thought that's how organic materials provide nutrients to plants.
Each 1% of OM releases 10 lbs of N every year
When are you going to spend some time on your corn chopper?
Chris in the spring can you spread some manure on the rented ground
In Wisconsin. Went to Culver's for the first time. Vermont makes better cheese curds
👍
How long did you lose power for
Surprised you don't haul fertilizer for your friends.
MY FIRST COMMENT, Fan belts have differnt angles on the vee ,its like american standard and metric size,i dont know the angles of the vee like hydralic fittings JIS JIC ,I was an assembler in a hydraulic breakers,they come from Japan first thing we did was change the fitting fan belts i think are the same,if i dont know what im talking about so be it,beat me up with with your comments im a dumb f--k
Should pour a bucket from the trailer and dump in the garden!
Most people say you need a pound of nitrogen per bushel of corn you want to produce. While important organic material is'nt magic
That's a fertilizer salesman saying. Not many farms in NY/PA are putting more than 160-180 lbs or N. Yields range from 160 to just under 300, depending on previous crop, soil type, weather, etc
Yummmy
Aboline machine. Looks like caroval is upgrading trailers
I work for carovail and I promise you that is not an upgrade.
@ofpminkfarms0709 sorry my friend. I'm in Washington County. I remember the old steel boxes
@@jasonbeecher509 yea the old steel ones are long gone. We only have a few of the rear unloads left now. 99% of the tenders we have are Doyle side unloads and rayman 7 bay. Everything we tend with is now stainless.
@@ofpminkfarms0709 I guess I'm way behind the times
They have had that trailer for awhile now
You don’t understand the military a bolt that cost you .25 cost them 250 $
Running 2 belts instead of the three belts that are supposed to be on the pulley’s you're loosing 33%
Well if they continue to act up in Houston then you may find suddenly more travelling linemen to do the repairs as a lot seem to be getting fed up with it.
Dumb idea....? Could you get the sides and top off the box trailer, and set it up as a flatbed for your spraying needs? Put water tanks on it....etc...
I doubt it, Most box trailers dont have a very strong frame and rely on the sides and roof as a lot of there strength
@@ronaldgentry9923not the ones I've seen the sides are like tissue paper.
@@Otherrandomguy42 Look at the frames on them compared to a flatbed trailer, some of them barely have a frame.
Ok, thanks for the information, I didn't realize they didn't have a good frame
@@ronaldgentry9923 older ones like he has have more enough frame to put on 13,000 lbs of water in a couple 750 gallon tanks put one up front one at the back. It's a non issue. In fact if you put one right at the front and one at the back you could easily do 2 one thousand gallon tanks that 4.6 tons right over the trailer wheels and 4.6 tons over the fifth wheel.

Why don't you put that thing on the green mack truck
Because it's missing parts and will never be driven again. He took quite a few parts off it to fix up the red one.
Første kommentar i dag er en hilsen fra Norway.
Stop looking at the tires and look at that silver thing in the middle of your hood
First view!
PREdicted not PERdictid.
"Perdictid" is not a word.
"Repulsterd" is not a word.
Reupholstered.
Who would ever park up anything fertilizer without opening all hatches and running water through it
Chris why don't you look into setting yourself up with a spray drone ideal for yourself and custom work.
I'd assume those are a lot of money. He could hire a custom spray applicator with a self propelled for far less.
@@Otherrandomguy42chris can’t even get his own crops sprayed in a timely fashion…. How is he going to do any custom spraying?
@@markjones-nb5fhthat's not what I said. I said and follow closely he can hire IN a custom spray applicator for far less than buying a drone sprayer.
@@Otherrandomguy42 hire someone with what money… seems like the operation is pretty cash strapped
@@markjones-nb5fh he can go haul manure on the days he would otherwise be home spraying and make lots of money to come home and pay the custom spray bill. It's not rocket science. No different than him running around borrowing a sprayer this year and spraying it himself a custom applicator could have sprayed all his corn in less than a day with a self propelled sprayer and he could have spent that 2 or 3 days he was spraying trucking manure and made way more than enough to pay the spraying bill.
