Weld a wee tab on the front of the stand at the bottom in front of the bolt hole so it can only fold back. The tab will then lock out against the drawbar. There is no need for it to fold forward. Abbey were lazy when they made those stands.

@patrickjblackwell 7 месяцев назад

Hi Adrian, very interesting video, thanks. Not sure if is the case for your compressor but the air you hear leaking form most of that type of compressor is actually a design feature. The compressed air is being bled from the pipe running from the pump to the tank, the one you replaced. This allows the motor to restart next time under no load, reducing the current surge in the motor at startup.

@IFarmWeFarm 7 месяцев назад

Yes that’s true, once the tank pressure drops that spring will compress the rubber seal to close it off. The unfortunate thing is if it’s worn or dirt gets stuck behind it then it will never fully seat and just leak out completely. It’s very common on all compressors, thankfully and easy fix

Sad news about your cow. For someone who doesn't know how it all works, would you not just keep her and wait till next year or is it likely to happen again and not worth the risk? Or too expensive to feed for the next year?

@tc6573 7 месяцев назад

Using the chain i hang the pto at 45° degrees roughly. (If nothing to hang too, make a bracket which holds the pto well up out of way) That way you are reassured that you wont damage it by the USUAL methods. Had the same issues with same compressor and fixed it likewise. Allow at times she doesn't cut out & the pressure switch blows. Damp air i think???

When you're really fond of your cow you might milk her up with eight month pregnancy. She won't be a topper, but if she was, you could keep her and try again. I never heard the expression you used in relation to your helper; as helpful as a underwater dryer. 🤣

@IFarmWeFarm 7 месяцев назад

Our stocking rate is too high to hold on to her, we normally sell 10-15 cows each year to make room for our replacement heifers. They all go to the one farmer, he does fatting the old ones and put the younger ladies like this one back in calf and sell them to a dairy farmer as they calve down. He left with a good calf afterwards to rear as well. Hope that makes so sense. Stocking rates are getting tighter each year

@@IFarmWeFarm ah yes, I see. Thanks Adrian x

@karolschulz48 7 месяцев назад

You have me confused. Why are you going to sell the cow that lost her calf? It makes no sense. Especially if she is a good producer. Who knows why the calf died. Likely had something that wasn't compatible with life. So give her antibiotics and get her back in shape. Then let her try to have another calf. It doesn't cost you to feed her during the summer and minimal cost now. If no live birth the second time then send her to freezer camp and get hamburger. Btw and underwater hair dryer awesome never heard that one before.

@jameshussey4900 7 месяцев назад

@kaorlschulz48 because she will be taking the place of a replacement heifer that will actually produce milk for the year, every cow has to pay her way. Unfortunately that is the reality of farming.

@IFarmWeFarm 7 месяцев назад

Just like James said there, it’s based on our stocking rates, if she was kept on it would be at least be 11 months before she would be back milking. She would also take up the spot of a replacement heifer or a milking cow so we always have to tin out the herd each year anyhow to allow young stock to come in. We would get penalised if we’re too overstocked. She will go to another farmer that buys all my cows who will more than likely based on her age put her back in calf and sell her on as she calves down. He’ll have a calf for himself and a good milking cow to sell to a dairy man.

@andyross5644 7 месяцев назад

The syphon on the front of your tanker is supposed to be slightly loose so the pump can travel up and down with the sprung drawbar, if you leave it tight you run the risk of damaging your vacuum pump.

@mikestapleton3973 7 месяцев назад

Nice job. Just curious, why does the pressure switch have 2 air connections? I know it needs to monitor the tank pressure to control when the pump starts/stops but what does that second flexible pipe to the non-return valve do?

@IFarmWeFarm 7 месяцев назад

Bleed of pipe, it’s suppose to release some pressure so it isn’t under load starting up. That spring pushes back to release the air and when the pressure drops it seals up and the air stops. Hope that makes sense
