You have one of the most interesting farm channels on RU-vid, I’ve been on a Boehm farm marathon while I recover from an auto accident. You and Brad are awesome to me, thank you Jacob and Brad for keeping me from going stir crazy!
Looks like you should get your hands on a couple pieces of round baler belting and cut them about a foot and a half long, and bolt it to the underside of your drawbar through the hammerstrap holes with a couple bolts and fender washers... it makes a flap that will keep hay from bunching up under your drawbar pin and the baler clevis... I put one on the 5610 and it really works great. Need to make one for the other tractors too. If you don't have any old baler belting (or anybody you can get some from) you can always use a strip cut from an old mud flap or something similar... OL J R : )
I noticed the shady look here in NE Oklahoma from the eclipse. I forgot to take my welding helmet along so I didnt get to look at it. I noticed you looking at the hay or dust coming out the back of your baler. My 605f vermeer looses some like that and the dealer told me to fun the rpm's slower like 1500 on the tractor and keep the pickup full. I have been running like that and it works real well for me. I bale in hi 1 and 1500 tractor rpm on my 1086. Most of the time you cannot tell that I loose any hay out the bottom of the baler. Looks like you all are getting it done!
Yes you answered the TV show question right 👏 When are we going to see Daisy Boehm in her cut off👍 I used Howes Diesel Treatment in a green tractor and it helped clean it up .But you never know about them green machines
Well, it could be a while. Brad and I could be members of Sergeant Pepper's lonely hearts club for a while. This farming thing takes more time than women allow.
Brad is right about slobbering . You see that in the winter time . Could also be pump is turn up ,so you would be over fueling. Wouldn't hurt to look under hood
Driving to Kentucky would’ve been a waste. It wasn’t much better than what y’all had. I’m central KY so I couldn’t imagine it being much better further south.
Did y'all check the relief valve on the side of the lift housing 1086? If the spring is bad in it the remotes won't get full pressure from the pump. It kinda looks like a shotgun shell when removed from the tractor you could swap it from the 1466 to see for sure if it's bad. Y'all keep the videos coming we enjoy seeing the farming in ohio
We're in Oregon, had 99.7% eclipse and it was still light out! We don't know how powerful this old star really is until it still makes mother earth light enough to see with only 0.3% exposed. Einstein was right, light does bend.
If you cut a chunk of rubber and hang it on your draw bar your pin won't drag the windrow. Thanks for the video your eclipse was about like ours uneventful.
Do yall always bale that slow?? I can understand with the small square baler, particularly when you have someone on the wagon stacking that you can't get too far ahead of, but with a round baler?? I bale typically in 6th gear at 1800 rpms on the 5610, crank 'em out the faster the better or so it seems. In SUPER heavy hay I sometimes have to drop down to 5th gear, that's 5 mph versus 6 mph in sixth gear... With the Zweegers drum mower I typically cut in 6th gear, in super thick fine stemmed hay like bahia I've had to drop to fifth, and in the hay I just cut last week which was EXTREMELY heavy 4 foot tall so thick I couldn't walk through it bluestem hay, I did something I've never had to do in 33 years of owning and running that drum mower-- I had to drop to fourth gear on the Ford and about 4-4.5 mph to keep it from tripping open when it hit an anthill-- the hay was SO dense and pushing against the safety trip (which I carefully measured the spring and trip mechanism and then tightened the spring up so it'd be *just short* of coil bind when the safety trip popped open, to get maximum trip pressure out of it without locking the thing up and defeating the purpose). Anyway I guess the hay was pushing against it SO hard that when it hit an anthill it'd pop open. SO I dropped a gear and then another til it quit tripping. Baled some of that hay in 5th gear but most of it in sixth gear... we got 29 bales off a little over 5 acres, so nearly 6 round bales per acre (5x6 rounds at that!) Later! OL J R :)
Have brad Ted right after you cut then Ted next morning you'll bale that night assuming you didn't cut late first day, it at least has a couple hours to dry first day
I'm sorta looking at tedders. But other items mightbe higher on the purchase list. I have a three day turn around time from cut to bale. I would need a miracle (drought)for a two day window to bale day after cutting.
@@boehmfarm4276 We were at my wife's school cleaning loading some stuff out of her classroom when the eclipse happened. We went outside as I had brought my welding helmets with me for my wife and daughter, and took turns looking at it with some other teachers... What was cool was, under the nearby tree, the spots of light where the sun was filtering down through the leaves, you could see all these little crescents on the ground-- the leaves were acting like a pinhole camera... Take a cardboard box and poke a little hole in the side of it, like a shoebox or whatever, and let the dot of light shine on the far end of the box... the pinhole acts like a camera lens and you can see an upside-down image of the sun on the other end of the box... you can watch the totality or partial eclipse as a crescent of light til it hits totality... I made one of them too and we passed that around while we were using the welding helmets... OL J R :)
