Thx4 sharing Ashlyn. We enjoy learning about the details. Be certain to take a break to chill a bit (as much as any farmer can) over the holidays. Blessings!
We run are steering axles all the time but will definitely try not running them cuz your 100 percent right about the tractor and tank getting wonky at full speed
SmartASH! Nice! Like the change of pace. Allot of good info. Love seeing the controls (being an ex-farmer from less sophisticated days). Seems to me a dragline would be impossible with roads to cross and hills would leave allot of product left in the line, like you said, flat land stuff. I see watching other farmer's videos as 2 things, continuing education and fellowship. Not weird, wise in leveraging technology for a greater purpose. "Manure hauling in a nutshell".....I missed the nutshell.😂🤣😂. Thanks for the video and thanks for coming on screen at the end. Perfect Friday evening, hanging with SmartASH! Oh and MOST important, thanks for using your turn signals😁.
I drive past a dairy on my commute and they line and tank. A tractor- tank did get hit once on a turn. I missed the actual hit but came up on it just afterwards . It was not good but no injuries. Now when he turns he leads to left with signals so people see it's crossing center before he turns. Its an everyday thing on my drive to work. Now the tractor has better brighter turn signals than what it had and seems everyone knows where he is going . I like camera position you chose today BTW I was using my own foot brakes on that hill they didn't work through my computer 🤣
Being your a cafo with a nutrient management plan you might want to edit out you don't know your application rate. From tank size width of spread pattern and distance you made it with that 7000 gal at 4.4 mph you over 7000 gal per acre
I enjoy your videos by the looks of your families operation all of you take great pride in dairy farming and your stewardship of the land is wonderful to see. I think drag lining would definitely suprise you on how flexible it really is.
I wasn't trying to insult you I was just watching out for ya I understand your just doing what your asked to do but your nutrient management plan will have your application allowance for that field which dep sets. Like we have fields that allow 11000 gal ac but has to be split for fall and spring application or others 15000 gal ac split application and others that are 10000 gal only spring application. I'm sure being your spreading on a growing crop application rate is high bc rye or tritacle are high nitrogen unit users. The slope of the ground your applying to is also a huge factor in dep determination of allowable application rate. I've had to go through a dep evaluation of application rate on fields in Potter county we milk 900 and have all replacements on site. I was put in charge of tallying all manure pulled from the pit for the one yr growing season. I had to make sure no land was over applied it is a very stressful situation keeping application rates in line with allowable application amounts
For you ground in York County haul with tractor trailers set up a frac tank drag line off that be most efficient way to apply cow manure is a timely fashion I would think. With the new expanded dairy facility comes more manure with the need to have the acres to apply that added manure
What for tires are you running on the rear of that tractor.they look like they would have great wear resistance on hard top roads as compared to your traditional tractor tire.
