Farming Geeks is our channel for the operations of our hay farm, our family, our gardens, animals and more. We are geeks by nature and we try to incorporate some of that into our farming. Follow along as we embark on our farming journey and hang out with us.
There are kits sold but often you are better off just buying a top end kit aftermarket. Check out Disc Mower Doctor. www.discmowerdoctor.com/discmower-parts-for-sale?machine-type=694&field_test_brand_model_tid_1=500&product-type=All&combine= You do need to know if you have shock hubs or not. Or if you want to convert to shock hubs.
20:10 Find you a pipefitting bell reducer to fit the seal. It makes installation much easier. You can drive it straight. Like the metal top work bench.
You can't believe ANY specs from Harbor Freight...I thought this was common knowledge...Lol...they flat out lie on everything........I have this Gun and while it's more than enough for cars/trucks..... I knew right away it wasn't 1200ft lbs....probably more like 800-900....because I've used REAL pro grade guns like Snap-on and SK, with over 1000ft lbs....and bolts just Fly off the second you touch the trigger, Major difference with pro grade stuff. Honestly if you're messing with tractors, you should just go 1" for everything, or spend the money on High end automotive stuff, so you Actually know what you're getting and you can Actually trust their Specs.....I had an old F-250 from the 1980's, and that alone almost made me convert to larger impact stuff.....so tractors are bigger.
@@FarmingGeeks i don't recall that ever happening in my lifetime. But I do recall the following facts; YOUR comment got downvoted to oblivion because you told a lie. And second, the drone flew over MY BOAT that I took off from. I didn't fly over anything illegal. I'm sure you're just projecting. That's why you don't assume things. You're just jealous because I received positive feedback and your drone videos are complete ass and nobody is interested to watch a field of grass from the sky so you have to tell lies to bring other people down to make yourself feel good.
Lot of vibration on tractors. I ended up finding a way to mount it that didn't vibrate as much later. It was also a much older gopro without video stabilization built in. More recent videos don't have the shakes. Thanks for the comment though.
Believe me hot wrench was used. Just not enough to make liquid out of anything. Tring to save the modules. These things can just be a pain to get apart.
It works really well after spending a lot of time setting it up. Making sure everything is in line. Have not used it a whole lot. But it's better than waiting for months on the rental from the county. Also much cheaper than others.
Most modern log splitters extend then return on their own using a return detent. They do not extend again until you pull the levers but that is how they work now.
I get what you are saying, but if its advertised at 1200 it should be 1200. It is a cheap tool but specs are specs. And yes it would work for standard car/light truck lugs, but bigger things like tractors, or trucks it is going to have problems. It struggled with these front lugs and wouldn't budge the rear.
@@FarmingGeeks nice! About to have my 13th season for myself. I’m first generation but grew up as a hay nut and worked for a hay farmer in town, so it depends when you start the count 😁. How about you?
I promise you if u feed the Earthquake the correct amount of AIR (90psi while in operation) not 90psi on compressor u may need to turn it up a fair bit higher, it will blow that other old gun into the weeds. Id say 'in this video' the Earthquake is purring out around 40 or 50% of its potential power. Its should be spinning at least another 2000rpm.
I have large compressor, there is no way that the Earthquake is pushing 1200 ft lbs, at least the one I had. I have plenty of air. Running a regulated air supply on an 80 gallon tank with 175 max PSI. Maybe I got a dud but it didn't matter how much air you fed that thing. Made sure to oil it as well it was just a turd.
Why show it to her? 😅 My grandson is 6 months old his Dad works cutting trees and he's crazy about skidstears and bulldozers. He will fight his Mom to get on one.😅
She always goes to auctions with me. That was the biggest tractor we had seen at auction around here. There was enough room for two dogs in there with both of us as well. Way too big for our needs though.
I might still have it. Probably do. Going to go have to dig in my parts bins to see what I have. Might be this weekend though its dark before I ever get home now.
Question - I changed the transmission fluid on mine but I let both filters drain all the way out instead of changing them quickly. Now I think I have air in the system because it is difficult to move. What are your thoughts? I thought about changing filters again and filling both up with fluid?
Sorry for late reply. Nothing wrong with letting your filters drain out. As a general rule it is not a good idea to fill up filters. You should let the system fill them up. Otherwise you could pour debris into the incorrect part of the filter sending it straight into the system. Did you top off the hydro fluid? If your fluid is full and you filters are on and you have ran it around a little bit and it still has difficulty moving, then you have a problem. Could be as simple as incorrect filters or you could have an internal issue.
Grew up on a cattle farm in Wendell and grandpa grew his own hay. Miss being in the field with him stacking and loading the barn up. Don’t miss fixing the string on the old square baler tho.
Yeah, a lot of people made these by hand as they were a very simple design. If I had not found this one for cheap at auction, I would have made my own as well.
Hey, after I seen where your fuel filter was, I went back out to my tractor barn and changed my RTV-X900 fuel filter out. I am 70, so it takes me a bit longer to get up and down than you. Thank you for a good video, I hope you do more.
How many hours were on this RTV. I have been trying to find my darn fuel filter, I think I am good now. I thought I had an oil filter, but I didn't so off to the Kubota store tomorrow to finish the maintenance.
I assume you mean Bannana bales?There are a lot of different things that can cause that on these balers. Your bale tensioner is a big one. Make sure they are even. Also your timing could be off. Hard to say without looking at the machine while it's baling.
What a good invention to have I used a rake hitch for 20 some years now and what a time saver I love it so much how much you could save in time and fuel using the twin rakes
There is a ported filter cover kit you can buy to plumb a return. But even on a 67 there is a rockshaft. You doing a 3020 or 4020 and is it a powershift or a syncro range?
It should be just like this video. There should be no difference between yours and the one in the video. Mine is an early model as well. You have a rockshaft. You just have to buy the special fitting to T into the line. I talk about part numbers on the T fitting and other fittings needed here farminggeeks.com/farm-equipment/early-john-deere-3020-powershift-front-end-loader-hydraulic-re-plumbing/
If you mean the little ball then yes but so are the ISO couplers. Both have a little ball in the end of them. ISO can also use poppet with a little tit inside. The issue with the old JD couplers is that they are proprietary and really no longer in use and most newer equipment is going to come with ISO or "Pioneer" style fittings.
Just something I was taught and I teach my kids. It's dangerous to drive tractors on the road here. If you can afford the time just hang back with the hazards on.
