Thanks. I really enjoy fixing old stuff. We’re not big enough to justify buying more new equipment beyond the tractors and haying gear so we care for what we have. Most old gear can be saved if you take time and know how to weld.
You did a great job on the spreader! I hope you took the time to lay down in it before you use it, something that you probably won't want to do once you use it.
Wow Dave!!! That old spreader looks great!!! I would be honored to haul 💩 with it!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations on reaching the 1000 subscribers!! Well done guys. You have a great channel
You did a pretty similar restoration like Pete from Just a few acres. You did a fine job. As always "Poop Happens" Good luck on calving season. It can be very rewarding and very stressful. Hope all goes well.
Morning Dave, spreader looks great, one thing about trying to sand Ash that I found as a young guy is that’s it’s harder than woodpecker lips! Good luck with the baby bovines,they’ll be here before you know it.
I would miss the detachable link chains. The link count had to be identical. We used waste oil every year for preservatives. Different times. Thank you Dave.
Nice New spreader!! Ash here, doesn't get used for much, Alder is the big hard wood. Poplar here gets big, but starts rotting when it's small.. seen some 6' at the butt.. 5' of that is rotten, punky stuff. Happy Easter!!
Beautiful restoration job on that spreader. I’ve done a couple myself that Ash has zero rot resistant value. I know you don’t have a lot of choice of rot resistant woods that far north but white Oak would’ve been a better choice if you weren’t gonna use womanized.
