hey everybody it's ryan welcome back to How Farms Work so many of you will remember that we took the
hood off the 4640 and dad installed some lights in the front while we had it off we took it up
to derek this was before we had him do big reds hood and he repainted it put new labels on it
made it look really snazzy so unfortunately it's probably going to make the rest of the
tractor look a little faded but at least the hood's going to be nice looking out over
so dad's got the lights on the front there we got to test those before we put it on but we're
going to be mounting the hood today because spring has sprung and planting is just around the corner
oh that looks nice
we had to check it because if there was one or two or whatever that
weren't on we'd have to switch the wires to change the polarity but if they're all on that's great
cool
are we gonna have to adjust these at all it doesn't look like it okay
okay they look pretty good
okay let's get up on the other side there now okay right now
oh i want this guy come towards us
okay
where'd you wire that into i went directly to the switch light switch
yeah i'd say they make a considerable difference
yeah directly in front of you i think could be really
so what you're looking at now are the meters
for the liquid fertilizer on the planter so pretty much the balls are just telling you
what the flow is doing for each row if i lower the rate down the balls will drop
if i raise it up they'll come back up
hey everybody it's hannah and welcome back to how farms work today we're fixing a bungee on the
we're fixing the bungee on the trailer because it's broke yep she said it best so
bungee up there that goes inside the tarp to hold pressure on it to make it easier to close from one
side namely the rear um broke off i actually think i had it mounted wrong on that eye bolt on the end
so we're gonna try something different by just putting a knot in it and running it through
that eye bolt with the washer hopefully that'll resolve the issue that i've been having with it
breaking the bungee did you flip the switch yeah oh okay gonna pull it up into the shed because
it's raining it's wet
well
go open up the tarp for me please
okay stop right there uh twist it more a little bit more oh okay all right
oh it's nasty
there's the old cord put a knot on the end there i'm gonna put a washer on it
and then i'm going to stick the pipe back through i'm going to run this through the pipe and then
shove the pipe back in really just like a 20 minute process get our pvc stick it down thorough
all right is it coming out the end yep yeah what's this
um that's like a protector that goes on the end so this keeps it from rubbing up against
the side of the trailer so it's supposed to make it last longer now shove it back through the tube
i didn't put one back right well no they just naturally don't last long
all right so what i'm gonna try differently this time with this bungee they don't typically last
very long anyway but what i'm gonna do is instead of just tying a knot straight to the eye bolt
i turned it 90 degrees so that the hole is facing the bungee i'm gonna run the bungee through
i'm gonna tie it off and i'm gonna put a washer on it so then that way
it just kind of keeps it from pulling through and that way it's not hooked to this the problem that
i was having was that this was turned 90 degrees and then the bungee would come down on here on
the far side and then it would pull it over onto this ledge here and that would make it
where faster all right so i tied a knot on the bungee followed by this little protector which
is supposed to help it from rubbing up against the trailer and the reason i put a knot on each
side of this is to hold it in place so that it doesn't come sliding up so i gotta kind of guess
where i want it to be but we're gonna tie it like that for now i can adjust it later
now we're gonna stick it through the eye bolt put the washers on there
and then those washers are gonna keep it from messing with it okay so are you
pulling on it right now yeah okay yep so now i'm going to go ahead and tie a knot on here
to keep it from pulling through
okay so go ahead and let go okay so
that's honestly probably pretty good i want to move this up to keep this more
in place because of the issue that i had is that as the bungee stretched
the knot will will come up further and then this will slide up with it oh yeah so so you need to
i think we're good see now this is tight so this is going to keep it down
and we got pretty close to getting rolled up in there
someone asked what those ratchet straps
are for underneath the tarp and that's to save the tarp to keep it from wearing go ahead
yeah that's not helpful do it again you stretched
stretched out
okay i need to bring that knot down this one yeah and i need to eliminate this one uh-huh
would you look at you listening to instructions i'm a mechanic
project when it comes down over there
it's amazing what you figure out when you read the directions isn't it ryan nope this is the
last wet day that we have in the forecast they're calling for things to get pretty dry
so in our next video we're going to start planting soybeans now while i've been hauling
corn travis has been getting the plant already he replaced the seed disc openers on the planter so
hopefully they're going to cut pretty well into the soil they are calling for things to
get pretty dry so that's probably going to help i would think cut into the soil
especially if it starts to get hot and warmer here and we don't get any more moisture after this so
we got the bungee fixed on the grain trailer and i'll probably have one more grain hauling video
to come after we finished planting but uh we're gonna focus on that once we get the chance because
it's time to go so anyway that's pretty much it for this video thanks for watching guys be sure to
