awesome video. I love my 6610. mine has a cab tho. I grew up running a 5610 those old fords are great. I want to get my hands on another 6610 someday for a restoration project
I love picking up rocks ! LOL I've seen a lot of no-till beans this year that look just like those, And guys wonder why they got a 1/2 a stand ! Keep up the great work JB. Bandit
No, I've been waiting on a good rain to mellow the ground out so the clods will brake up. No sense in planting seed in the ground that wont grow and have to replant it so I waited till it rained on it good and we got it last night and tonight ! Now I have to wait and see tomorrow how wet it is. Bandit
@@boehmfarm4276 Yeah that not closing the slit is no bueno... sounds like some sort of Deere "slit-n-smash" but with an air cart?? That's a lot of rig ($$$$ wise) for the size fields yall got around there, unless its one of them BTO's farming half the county... Either way that ain't working right at all... Later! OL J R :)
@@boehmfarm4276 Oh and IIRC if they hit the field with an over-the-top Roundup application to burn down that field grass, IIRC if spray hits the seed it can kill the germ. RU goes inert when it hits soil, but with an open seed furrow like that spray droplets can still get down onto that exposed seed! Later! OL J R :)
That shank IIRC has another square beam behind it that it's hitting-- that's why it keeps breaking. You either have to remove what it's hitting, or move it back to that tube so it's not hitting it. When it hits something in the ground and bends back, when it hits that tube it's creating a stress point and forcing it to bend more behind where it hits instead of bending along the entire length, causing it to snap at the stress point. It's gonna keep breaking right there til you either move the shank back to the other tube so there's nothing behind it to hit, or you get rid of that tube so it's out of the way where it's mounted now so there's nothing for it to hit. Later! OL J R :)
I thought for a minute you were going to pull the anhydrous rig with the little Ford. I never had the opportunity to run a tractor with a cab, back in the really old days an umbrella in the summer and a canvas "Comfort Cover" was considered up town.
With a surname like mine naturally I would be biased, but I have huge respect for 6610’s I never had one but my next door had and it performed brilliantly. How long have you had it for? That’s not stoney ground either try Ireland for stones!!
We've had this one for four years. Yeah, I spent a term at he University of Reading, I remember some of the gravel pits for fields I saw while traveling about.
I Did a lot of Custom NH3 app with a 1466 pulling a 13 knife bar lol i ran the tractor so hot doing that the paint would bubble on the hood lol ..... BTW the weights on the 3 point of that 6610 means your ready to hit the local Fair Tractor Pull lol
I would stack another 1000lbs. on it or more. I never understood why someone would make a puller out of 4 cylinder fords until you let out the clutch with the disk in the ground and the engine doesn't flinch, just tires spinning. It's not a speed engine, but it's full or torque.
@@boehmfarm4276 No liquid in the tires?? We used to pull four row bedders (middlebusters, basically a four bottom plow with 14-16 inch point that throws soil "both ways" at the same time, to either side to build a bed for next years crop to be planted on). Pulled it all day long in 6th gear at 1800 rpm, which is 6 mph... Course we had our tires full of water... pulled a 14 foot disk 6 mph no problems... hippers, cultivators (though they're not much load) even 14 foot shredders chopping down cotton and grain sorghum and corn stalks, all 6 mph... we rarely used fifth gear (5mph) because we didn't usually need to.

Not good... One time when I was in high school I was passing a BTO's hired hand hipping up a field before planting and pulling an anhydrous wagon behind the hipper, using the hipper ripping shanks to knife in anhydrous, with the disk gangs in back throwing the soil out of the middles up onto the rows to build the beds up. Anyway, his supply hose to the tractor must've busted because there was a HUGE white cloud of anhydrous ammonia fumes coming from the tongue area between the wagon and hipper... Well, "Ol' Pedro" (whoever he was) had climbed down out of the tractor and was looking like "what do I do?" and then he pulls the lapel of one side of his long sleeve shirt over his face like Dracula's cape in a movie, and dives into the cloud to try and reach the shutoff valve on the front of the tank! I was on my way to school and on the highway, so I just kept going so I'd stay upwind-- that stuff is NOTHING to mess around with and I guess he got it turned off and didn't die because I didn't read about anybody getting killed. Still, NO WAY I'd EVER do that, not farming for myself, and CERTAINLY not working for some other guy!! Not worth dying over or going blind or having your lungs burned up... I know when we were in the police academy we saw a dashcam of a trooper who got himself killed in an ammonia cloud... OL J R : )
The two reverse speeds don't bother me. It is a bit slow on the road, I think the tractor really needs 38' tires to quicken it's pace. It's like the other Ford eight speeds, with 3,4,5,6 all evenly spaced, then a big jump to 7 and 8.
Yeah , trucking company don't just have 1 tractor/trailer 👍 Yeah it better to have spares so you keep on going 🚜. Pressure regulator value or relief maybe culprit on 1086 👍 but I don,'t know location , maybe need adjusting or have something keeping it open .
If you ever have the chance I highly recommend you make a trip to Mackinac Island in Michigan they have the best fudge and incredibly beautiful scenery. one piece of advice the Island name is pronounced Mack uh gnaw so us Michiganders will not get mad.
Probably many of you know what Anhydrous means, is it a process? A fertilizer application mode or it refers to the fertilizer itself? Could you please explain what it is and how it works? Thank you
Anhydrous ammonia, NH3. It offers the most usable nitrogen per pound of any fertilizer. Anhydrous means that there is no water in it, absolutely none, so the term refers to the state of the substance. For instance, solid fertilizer could have molecules of water suspended in it. Anhydrous ammonia is so hydroscopic that it is a desiccant, if person finds themselves in a massive NH3 leak, good chance they will be dried out like an Egyptian mummy. All NH3 tanks are supposed to be equipped with a water rinse tank. NH3 is a pressurized liquid.
It is EXTREMELY toxic!!!!!. It will burn the eyes out of your head. It absorbs any water it comes in contact with. I used it in refrigeration . It is an extremely efficient refrigerant. I once had to respond to a leak at one of our customers late one night. The ammonia was over powering even outside the bldg. I donned the MSA mask and isolated the leak in just a few minutes. As I was sweating heavily The NH3 was absorbing the perspiration on my skin. By the time i finished the repairs and was able to get home and to a shower I was burned all over. Be VERY careful around that stuff.
Anhydrous ammonia is the most basic form of nitrogen fertilizer. It is made using the "Haber Process" (which Fritz Haber won the Nobel Prize for in 1918) which uses natural gas (methane, CH4) and reacts it with nitrogen (N2) from the atmosphere to produce anhydrous ammonia (NH3) and byproducts. "Anhydrous" means "without water" and anhydrous ammonia is a pressurized liquid that boils at 44 degrees below zero, so it must be kept pressurized in order to not boil away in the tank. When injected into the soil it converts to a gas (usually at least partly boils in the hoses after the pressure regulator due to pressure changes) and the liquid/gas mix spurts through the tube welded to the back of the knife into the soil, the disks or other covering devices behind help throw loose (preferably moist) soil over it to "seal" it into the soil. Anhydrous has an EXTREME affinity for water, (hygroscopic) and will readily dissolve in any water or moisture it comes in contact with, stabilizing it and converting it into "aqueous ammonia" (aqueous of course meaning "water"). In fact liquid fertilizer is usually just anhydrous ammonia dissolved in water, to make anywhere from 28% to 32% concentrations of ammonia. Anhydrous ammonia is highly toxic due to the fact that it so readily seeks out any moisture it comes into contact with and dissolves nearly instantly into it, converting it into aqueous ammonia. SO if you breathe in the vapors or are exposed to them, the anhydrous will dissolve into the moisture in your eyes, nose, throat, mouth, lungs, and brachial passages and turns into liquid ammonia which then attacks and burns you. It can dissolve in sweat or moisture on the skin and also cause burns. Because it's so easily manufactured and because of its cryogenic phase change conversion properties, it was one of the first refrigerants in common use, but was replaced by more efficient and non-toxic chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's) (Freon) when it was invented by DuPont... Interestingly, anhydrous ammonia is also flammable under certain conditions and was used as rocket fuel in the X-15 rocket planes that flew to the edge of space in the 1960's... (fueled by anhydrous ammonia and liquid oxygen). My Dad used to use anhydrous because it's more concentrated and therefore cheaper than liquid or dry fertilizer, but it's also hazardous to handle and he nearly got gassed when a fertilizer applicator rented from the local ag supply providing the fertilizer blew a hose; after that he decided to just use liquid fertilizer since it's room temperature liquid and therefore much easier to handle, if a little higher per ton in cost.

Jacob I just saw a nice looking I-H 1086 w/6579 hrs With cab, heat , A/ C not working. Has synchroshift that works. Tires 40% Seat is shot It's in MT wants $8800.
Montana!!! That's just a few miles away. Thank you for letting me know. Another 1086 would be nice, but for some dumb reason, i think I want a 2+2 to make a slight upgrade.
I am hoping it's as simple or easier than needing a hydraulic pump. I think we diagnosed that it's not the draft control, or three point, or the valves, or the pressure relief valve.
The 6610 mostly pulls the disk and sprays. I have taken the green chopper out with it. It really needs 38" rear tires because it's a little slow on the road.
@@boehmfarm4276 Yep gotta find a system that works with your soil conditions in your area. No tilling is EASY in some areas and a very good fit, but very difficult and a very poor fit in others. If it's one thing I've learned over the years by being around farming in a lot of different places with a lot of different soils and climate conditions and crops, is that there IS *NO* "one-size-fits-all" in farming... what works in one area and one soil type for one crop in one climate with one set of machinery won't necessarily work worth a rip for someone else in different conditions. That's what a lot of people (including a lot of farmers) don't get. Later! OL J R :)
are most of the 7 tractors of yours blue things?lol.......might be why you need seven back ups!!!!!!should trade them for another red thing or ONE green thing!!!!!
It's not really the break downs as much as unhooking and rehooking to implements every day. We have four Fords and three IHs. You couldn't pay me enough to have a green tractor.
i like massey,wont support ford cause they contributed to the nazi war effort and were sued for it along with four other companies,,,,,,,,,then ford sued the U.S military for bombing his ford werke factories in berlin,france and belgium and won the case and was told there after to build bombers or be considered enemy for his nazi dealings since the 1930s and openly being anti semite.Ford been bailed out by the nazies,and bailed out by the canadian government too.My dead grand daddy be rollin in his grave if he seen me in one of those nazi windfall machines,alot of soldiers were killed by germans that were brought to the battle field in ford powered trucks and panzers with ford engines into them............lol just a thought man,green things outpull those fiats all day long!!!!!!
