Working Tomorrow, Again.

[Edward. S]

Here's a sneak peak for tomorrow. Don't worry I will be working on this all day! And one of our workers will be on the 6715 and 975. Maybe some action of the 637. . Tractor look small? Yes it's small for the manure spreader. It was pushing the little 6420 around when I was setting it up and fueling it up this afternoon.. That thing a bit big for our operation, I think so.. I could barely get it out of the barn. All my other buddies have a 185. I think it was necessary for a 195 though. The 195 is 1.4 times bigger than a 185. The 185 is too small for me I'd say.

Thanks! I got the 6420 fixed its showing 96 PTO HP. I put some Power Service Diesel Kleen in the tank today and I filled the tank. So shes all ready for work tomorrow. Around 400 ML of PS. Should clean the fuel injectors a bit and get some fuel savings. You should see this new field I'm renting. 2 Mile drive / 3 KM something like that. Its so dry it could be good as the farmers in California. Now I'm lacking the sunlight and warmth part. The pink flagging tape in the second picture came from the manure spreader. It was strapped around a hydraulic line and I just ripped it off, I picked it up after I took the photos.

Thats one heck of setup,post some action pics if you can.

 

[Edward. S]

Will do in the tractor now getting ready for work.

Lookin' good, Edward! That's a very serious manure spreader!

Also, glad to hear that your 6420 is all better and the Hp has been rejuvenated! She looks to be in excellent condition.

Do all of your tractors (except the utility-CUT's) have the high-crop tires? Makes the 6420 look like a 8335R...

Thanks for the pics.

The 4700, 5085M, 6715 and the 6430 Premium have standard / wide tires. Sadly I didn't go working today, I don't have keys to enter the farm, I can work tomorrow though, I have a guy opening it for me. I did make a video with my GoPro camera that I will post up here later.

Wow! That is a LOT of equipment.
What do you farm up there Ed?
Cows and Hay I/m guessin'?

Why could you ot get in the barn? I am confused, do you work there or own it may I ask?

 

[charleyfarmall]

Holy Manure Spreaders Batman!! That thing is huge! It makes my ground driven New Idea look like a wheel barrow!

Besides, you call that work:laughing:

Are you trying to say (Why I couldn't get the it inside the barn?) I could, but it has to be pretty cleared. That things huge. Its wider than the 6420 about 20 inches each side something like that. And its a bi*ch to turn around, I already got wheel rubs on the side of the spreader A frame trailer hitch. I grow mostly row crop vegetables with some rooted vegetables. I was at my main farm but I got this new place and it was all ready to have manure put on it but I realized it was Good Friday up here so no one was at the office where I rented the place from.

I thought my buddy had a 185 when he thought a 195 and a 185 were the same, when he figured it out he was freaked out just as you.

Isn't it work when you have to get it out of a barn then hook the trailer up, spin the jack up, drive it outside, grease it, hook up the PTO and hydraulic lines. Check the air on all tires. Boy it was work for those minutes.

I'm back with pictures with more tomorrow!

Picture 1 : First Load of the day.

Picture 2 : Driving

Picture 3 : 6715 Plowing.

Picture 4 : Hot and Steamy.

Picture 5 : 5085M Taking the big hill. In D2 @ 1800 RPMS 10 MPH Something like that.

Picture 6 : More Spreading

Picture 7 : Manure

Picture 8 : Wait... so who closed the gate?

Picture 9 : Me: "Whatcha guys eating?" Crows : "oh nothing just lots of snit"

Enjoy, planting tomorrow, more manure, C250, 5200, rollers, maybe a little bit more 5085M and a little bit of the 4700 not sure what I'd be using for tomorrow. Just more work.

5420 is down for now, needs a new belt and a new fan tensioner thing. Stuck in the field I was working in today, took off the smv and locked it up hope no one sees it.

Love those pictures, Edward!! :thumbsup: Gettin' to sit in the tractor, drivin' down the field; **** just flyin'! :laughing: All from the comfort of my computer...

Way too much snow up here, yet. Anchorage just broke the all-time snow record, today. We had about an inch or so - just covered all the ground again - but was mostly melted off by the end of the day.

Not so in the woods, though. Still plenty enough snow to ski, snowmachine or fall into up to your crotch!

Thanks again for the pics! Like seein' green fields.

Buy lots of snow / ice melt :laughing: Would be pretty pricey. I cant wait for my new tractor to be here! Around 10 more days! . I was driving up to the farm with the 5085M yesterday it takes 10 minutes going 12.4MPH and I got there in 7 minutes going 15 Miles - Top speed.

Enjoyed...thanks.

No prob' I will have more later tonight from the last few days.

Maybe I can post some pics today - slogging in the snow and muck! Need to clear a few trees next to the high tunnel/greenhouse.

Gotta get 'em down and all the scrap burned before I lose my snow.

Been nice here for the past 4 days or so. Up into the low 40's. Plenty of water and mud!

Don't sweat it, my actual fields are still wetter than ever. I feel like year after year everything's getting worse, but we all have to keep going. Still wanting my 6430 Premium to be here quicker..

Nice looking soil.
Again thanks for the ride.

 

[AKfish]

Thanks, Edward. Got to spend the whole day... in a bunch of different tractors!

Nice farm fields. I looked those pictures over and over - not a rock - not one! :thumbsup: I'd say you must raise some beautiful veggies in that dirt!!

Just what were those transplants, anyway? I did notice that some of the field workers looked to be cleaning up (fixing) some of the plants that either weren't covered real well or just didn't get in the hole correctly. Is that what they were doing??

Thanks again, for all the pictures. Almost made me wanna kick my boots on the step before I came into the house... some of that dust in the air ya know!! :laughing:

No rocks? Are you serious? This field is full of rocks. I hit a big one with the 975 well my worker did. Broke all 3 shear bolts. :laughing:

Sure does raise good veggies, Different veggies like different types of dirt. One of the transplants are both Asian greens one is a Chinese broccoli but there is actually no broccoli fruit. The other one is kind of a edible canola I'd guess. But you don't eat the flowering part, you eat the whole vegetable for both. The flower on the broccoli is bitter and the canola like vegetable is sweeter when the flower comes up.

They are manually planted, I wish I had some poker device for the harder packed soils. After the Plow, disk, C250 then its has a special roller that makes squares on the beds then they are manually planted in.

I usually keep the dirt in the fields not on my porch.
