I spent Valentine's day delivering political promises. It was an awesome day of mostly dry ish soil, especially for February, when I would figure on mud and hope for maybe some frozen ground.
I had to source some of those 20 inch tires recently for a gravity wagon. My spreader also uses them. I had a heck of a time finding them for less than a fortune. Ended up going with a suggestion from the COOP tire man who said to just use front tires from a newer 4x4 tractor. So now I've got 7.5x20 tires with tractor tread. Seem to work fine though, and much cheaper.
That'll work fine for the field or going down the road with the spreader behind the tractor, as intended. BUT if you wanted to go down the highway like he did a few vids back hauling something else (like ear corn) the lugged tractor tires can't go that fast... bout 25-30 tops. Implement float tires aren't really any better on that score, like the grain drill tires. Truck tires can handle the speed. Airplane tires too aren't meant for more than about 25 on the road-- they'll build up too much heat internally in the rubber and blow out-- they can handle 200 mph takeoff and landings, but those only last about a minute; no time for severe heat to build up in the rubber to damaging levels even at those speeds... then they get a couple hours of "cold soak" at 40 to minus 50 degrees at altitude in the belly of the plane, depending on the altitude. Airplane tires work fine at tractor speeds because the slow speed doesn't build heat in all those plies of rubber faster than it can dissipate to the air through the thick rubber plies. Highway speeds for any length of time though is no good... build too much heat til they blow out. Just so ya know... Later! OL J R :)
@@boehmfarm4276 Most trucks on 22.5 rubber now, or retrofitted to the 22.5 rims... used to have tons of old truck tires on the 20 inch split rims, but NOBODY will touch those anymore (pansies) because they're too lazy, too stupid, and too risk averse to actually do a tire man's job... those tapered "half size" (having the "0.5" instead of a whole number) are really easy coming off and going on, too, so there's that, versus the old square shouldered beads on whole size tires (20's, etc). The split rims were only a problem if you were too lazy to use a tire cage and remote hose to inflate them like you were supposed to. Oh well... times change.
As of today I have six out of ten tractors at the farm. Four 6155R are at the dealership for sensor malfunction. Two with fuel sensor. The other two had some Def sensor shit. Expensive month since it will take a month for that harness to ship and deliver as well to mount. Coming to watch boehm farm videos makes me thinking thirty years ago when sensors wasn't s huge dealio.
Yeah I drive a school bus my bus has been to the shop twice in the past year for faulty DEF level sensors. The second one now is STILL malfunctioning, it reads full to 3/4 tank one minute, 1/4 to nearly empty the next. Long as it doesn't derate I don't care... I've reported it to the boss but evidently they can't fix it. Miss my old 1991 International DT-466 with the Allison automatic-- less to go wrong-- just get in and go. I'll never buy any of this modern sh!t with DEF on it... wasted time and money. I'll fix my old stuff and keep going. Another driver told me the school's getting two new buses, evidently the state is buying them for the school district, BUT they have to take the old ones to a place where they'll be cut up on video and the engine blocks have holes drilled clean through them, so they cannot be sold as salvage or used in any way-- only scrapped... all so they can get new "low pollution" buses on the road and make sure the old ones are destroyed and cannot be sold or used for other purposes or even parted out for parts to keep other old buses running... SO Wasteful! When my brother worked at a tractor salvage they had a deal coming the same way-- guy brought in a nice old articulated loader (payloader) and sold it to them for scrap, BUT they had to video blowtorching the frame in half at the articulation point in the middle so it ended up in two halves, and drilling a hole through the engine to ruin it for resale... they could part out the transmission and hydraulics and axles, but the rest had to be scrapped beyond use... gubmint bought him a new payloader complete with all the DEF and pollution garbage, for a huge discount IF you agreed to demolish the old one...
That's a fantastic question. I don't know. I still use the GoPro editor, and it hasn't been supported in five years. I have heard about a free version of DaVinci Resolve 18 that's really good for a free Editor.
Hi Boehm .why drive you 25 meter with ever bucket of the skid steer to the manure spreader ?? You are mostly a person who ratinonally works . Why did you not parking the spreader with his backside directly on the muck hill . Than you could easyer work with the skid steer .must not ever bucket move a half turn .and must fewer drive to the spreader !! Best greetings from East-Frisia in north west germany from Bert
Yeah park behind it and only make a 90 degree turn from scoop backing up, then pull forward and dump, back up turn 90 degrees and back for the next scoop, and on like that... 180 spins just wasting time, fuel, and wearing the tires down that much faster... yes they're "lubed" somewhat by manure on concrete, but it still wears the tires faster than turning half as much.... Meh to each his own I guess... :)
