oh
now this tractor you guys have already seen it and you're probably like what we did yeah it was down
in california at the world expo and we didn't know i was gonna get here until well last week
we started talking to ksih and they're like hey we got a tractor would you like it yeah yeah we would
so i saw a post on social media you know one of the few times social media is actually good for
you and that's like that's a great idea
so i bought a bunch of these i'll show you what i'm gonna do with them it's
gonna be sweet i think you guys are all gonna probably build one too as soon as i'm done
i'm sure about now you're probably wondering what am i making just wait it's gonna be cool
i think you get what i'm getting at here bucket oil all your filters drop them
in everything runs down into the bucket no more mess then you just take the filter off
you wash it off in the sink brush it down go use it bring it back put it back in place it's
a good idea whoever thought of this thank you but i'm gonna do a couple more adjustments to this
all right not every funnel is created equal but i reinforced it with two brackets now so it's solid
to the wall shorten the distance from the wall and added some long pipes and drilled a bunch of
holes in them for all the little funnels and it's all together and then i've got five gallon bucket
at the bottom with a bunch of holes drilled on the top for these guys because these ones didn't fit
in this very well because they have that long down so all that's there so technically it's good to go
so there you go guys make your own these were probably like 10 bucks a piece or something 15
i don't know it was enough but figured it out 100 bucks and no more oil on the floor and uh
nice organized filters so cool okay let's go do something a little different let's go drive the
magnum around i need this thing gotta move an air drill and hey it's got the work done so let's go
all right one in the yard one to go let's get them here i forgot that we never hooked the 3850 cart
to this toolbar because last year we had that uh with a 3725 air carved case ih
so i got the new remote hooked up to this toolbar and it's currently lifting the toolbar
and it's not leaking any hydraulic oil so thank you leg arms for you doing all that in the magnum
it's awesome there she goes lift it up this might be the last time i hook onto this thing
because uh well you guys know we bought one toolbar so we're getting rid of one of these
maybe we'll get rid of the other one too
whoops i killed it too many gears
one at a time since they redid the transmission this thing
it does shift a lot nicer just the detents just feel way more crisp
cleaner i don't the linkage was just adjusted or what but it's much better
as you guys may know we've been partnering with ksih for a couple years now i've been really
good to us great company to work with been really awesome they give us a lot of opportunities some
fun stuff and be able to show that stuff to you guys so this spring we weren't expecting a tractor
because they said demo units are really on short supply right now they just with the craziness has
been happening they're trying hard to get the cut tractors to their customers who have bought them
and it's just a mad dash to get tractors out and so with that said they said we're just going to
have lower denver units we're not going to do a whole lot well this tractor was down in california
and he they said we have a window open and it happens to fall in line with you guys spring
planting so would you want that tractor it's got the cvx transmission in it that means it's uh
it's not a power shift and it's the 540 and we're like wow that does sound fun
um and we currently have our crane on our series one big bud
and we're gonna need a big tractor pull land roller this year you guys will seen soon why
so it worked out really convenient we're like yeah uh sure we'll take it so they send this up
to us so this is the fs connect 540 with a cvx transmission that means that it's not the power
shift like i said earlier there's no gear shifting uh it's pretty cool we'll show you guys more as
it goes we've only driven one of these for just a little bit down in arizona a couple years back but
it has the ability to go literally like point three miles an hour up to a lot faster
so
all right toolbars in front of the shop now i got to figure out how to unwing this thing so
i got i think the hoses hooked up where they need to be i'm going to climb in and drive
this thing around and start playing with the 1200 see i can find the virtual terminal find
the instructions on what to do to wing this thing out and then you guys are probably wondering too
what is going on here so like i was saying demo units are a little short on supply right now and
this one was set up to push silage down in california and so they pulled the blade off
it's been fun to have had it but you know i'm not really having to push it
they left this on here so instead of having all your wheel weight or your your front weights on
the front of the tractor this is going to be our weight so kind of cool we might put some
big bull horns on the front of it so that's what that's about so it is set up for a salad machine
i'm sure it's a great salad machine but we don't have any salads to push here so it's
going to be a nice bumper so we'll find some stuff to push with that thing i almost forgot
i got to get this toe behind hitch off because this thing was originally a tow behind the cart
was towed behind the toolbar we're doing toe between we don't need this on here so
i got to take this off i can wing this thing out which means i gotta pull the hydraulics
off all this so let's just disassemble a bunch of stuff and then then wing it out
there i think we've got everything off that needs to come off gotta tighten up a lot of lines still
and we still gotta reverse all the main runs that are pointing to the back and
playing them to the front so we gotta build a bracket to hold on the hitch all these
runs here so when the cart is in the middle they'll attach the back of it so i'll start
the process on doing all the hose clamps or just cutting the hoses undoing all the bolt
hardware here take these take them off flip them over i don't know we don't know if we're
gonna fully use the steel rounds if it's gonna go rubber all the way to where the cart will be but
we'll get that figured out here soon this is just step number one of getting this tool bar
ready and then when we kind of feel comfortable this we'll pull this off the side park it bring
one other tool bars over the old 5000s and then start dismantling the intelligent egg block system
off that as well as taking a lot of the openers off we're going to use that for another drill
so something we have to keep in mind because all these runs are now being put in the front
um we either have to run rubber hoses all the way up to here and then connect the cart or
we possibly can reuse those steel runs that are there which we thought about maybe using
maybe not use i don't know and then we're like yeah let's use them so we're going to put them
up over here we got to cut off a couple feet of them because they're kind of long but the
problem is we're missing certain connectors these brackets that connect to the cart that i should
say adapters adapt to the cart but we have an old tool bar sitting over at the green bin site
i'm going to rob them off that then we're going to adapt those to this that way will work
so
all right update on toby tween from tow behind so uh we took the brackets like we said earlier
off the back kind of shorten it up refab a little bit got to fit on the tongue of the
700 and then back here decide rather than trying to join the main frame between this side and that
side together with the beam because i don't know what kind of flexing they've got engineered in
this but we decide rather just use these tubing they have like cross mirrors back and forth so we
built brackets with a little uh angle iron and a bolt so it's sandwiches tight when you tighten it
so that sucked it tight so i got the bracket here so i'm just now laying the tubes in place i'll put
three on one side four on the other because this is a seven run system or 14 if you double shoot it
which or not and then i'll put some tubes on the other side and kind of get that in place
then we got to kind of figure out where exactly the tubes are going to end come back over here
and go chop chop chop chop chop all these off and then take that old tube manifold or that came off
that old 5000 series that i pulled off a minute ago and we'll slap that on there and uh attach it
so that's where we're going i'm just in the office here making myself a little bit of tea because
you guys know i don't drink coffee sometimes i say coffee but i don't drink coffee i'm allergic to it
it's not fun i like coffee but i want to show you something that you guys did because of leg arms
and this little funny stint with the whole keurig cup
see all this up here see these and all these easy cups
i think we got about six of those things from you guys in about two weeks after that video went out
you guys are hilarious so thank you for whoever bought those we will use them good stuff and
