ToeKnee!, SmartASH! Great video. I remember one year a friend of my dad's had more manure than ground and spread some particularly pungent stuff on our river bottom ground. I remarked to him "That smell!" he inhaled deep and said "....The smell of saving money, black gold" He knew I wouldn't appreciate it at about 15, but years later we laughed about it when we were loading the grain truck by hand with 25lb bags of fertilizer, I told him I was missing that smell right about now. Hope you get another short cold snap to move out some more. Thanks for the video and fellowship. take care.
Hey there Tony and Ashlyn, I hope this finds you all well and good. Tony, you've had that tractor for sometime, and that valve has worked properly, so it wouldn't be the wrong control module in the wrong place. It could be something as simple as a piece of dirt in the valve body, or the valve itself. Tony, I don't think your spreaders big enough to haul "thousands of tons" how about thousands of pounds? Lol...... 🤷 It was early and cold, so that's what we'll say happened. Ashlyn should have caught that in editing, so you could blame him? "I love the smell of manure in the morning" I hope y'all have a good one my friends! "Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
I know I said the shed could possibly hold a few thousand ton but I may have also misspoke. I have a nack for not saying what I’m thinking and think I said what I thought. seems to be a special gift of mine
@@tonyrohrer3563 You know what, I better go back and listen again, because I may have been the one who misspoke, I seem to have a knack for doing that myself? 🤔
Smells like $, doesn't it? Tony: I know the new electohydraulics are nice, but you can't beat a mechanical lever for easy troubleshooting. Chasing wires can be like chasing a ghost.
Winter spreading is usually drawn out because of weather and waiting on proper ground conditions. In the spring and fall if we have dry conditions for a solid 10 days to 2 weeks it’s usually sufficient
Interesting that chips have made it all the way down to a hydraulic output on a tractor. We always hear about chip shortages when we are trying to order a new vehicle. Makes me wonder if there is an actual shortage or the fact they are using them on everything including your coffee maker and they just can’t produce enough. I always thought the more electronics you put on a mechanical piece of equipment the more chance it will eventually fail.
Where there is cows there is manure, 😂 Be careful don't run me over....even though the ride was nice. What's the name of that big river? Stay safe and healthy, God Bless
It would be hard to go back. Our 8430 has had the trans out twice, second time we ended up putting a reman in. We have a total of 6 tractors including 2 6Rs that have IVT trans in them. Our 84 is the only one that gave trouble. 6Rs have a great transmission. Our 6210 has over 12,000 hours and hasn’t been touched
I know you get more out of the manure if it composted but why do you pile it in a shed? Other than it’s easier to clean up instead of piling on the edge of a field.
they store it because the need to have somewhere to put the manure as they clean out the pens. While they wait on the weather, ground conditions, and field readiness to spread it.
@@xavier_j_lamour I was just curious. I’m from Minnesota and farmers just pile it up on the edge of the field let it compost them go and spread it. But then you have a big mud hole
@@ryanbachman9227 They (Rohrer's) Pride themselves' of a clean and neat farm. And by storing it till the conditions are Conduent to spreading. they are being courteous to their neighbors in not having them stare at piles of Pooh-duckie. Plus, their fields are spread out to some extent and some of their fields are small/medium in size with one or two that may be on the large side. There in my neighboring state of Minnesota, their fields are more on the larger size and more flat as well. But there in Pennsylvania there fields are more, as some would say "Rolling hills".
@@xavier_j_lamour i totally understand that. Gotta keep the neighbors happy or at least try. Where I grew up there aren’t any dairy farms here anymore. 3 in the county I live in. But I’ve hauled milk and a lot of the dairy farmers just piled in the fields and spread it later on. God bless our farmers
