all right another day we're down to the last 1500 acres of plant on the farm because we're
gonna run out of seed before we run out of acres we might have a little bit of chem follow so
technically we won't plant the entire farm
but we will plant 95 of it so that's the biggest we've ever had gotta start this girl up guys girl
get some press we'll bring it over because uh leg arms air drill uh pretzel bearings out figures
so he's actually going to take the forks hook onto it and shake it pretty good to see if we
can get it to come off sometimes that works other times it doesn't
it was worth a try looks like we have to cut it awesome love doing those
it is a messy job unfortunately that is the only way we have been able to get those things off
when they are that seized on there it is what it is sometimes you just got to take
out the torch or the plasma cutter in fact our plasma cutter is having some issues so
i decided to bring out the torch which did okay but uh one thing i do need to check
i'm pretty sure the pillow block is good on that it didn't destroy that which is good
but let's see there we go there's the bearing right there okay so we have a good bearing
um just need to take that pillow block clean it up a little bit where the grease zerks go
install the new bearing take a sanding disc and clean up that inch and a half shaft for
the bearing put anti-seize on it slide the bearing on slide on that uh pipe that i
just cut off from the wheel slide that on and then put the wheel back on and weld it all up
that gray stuff right there and he sees we do it in hopes that down the road if
we have to change it again it'll come off easier and i think it helps but obviously
this time around later i'm still had to cut the perhaps wheel apart but thankfully and
just so you know i may or may not have ground down anything before i welded it so the welds are great
you make oh well that's okay
okay press wheels are on broke the adapter that converts three quarter down to half inch sockets
the reason we're using this is because this is a thinner walled socket which
fit on there the other big sockets don't but that's okay that that milwaukee is
a little overpowered for that adapter we shouldn't be using it so
that's just what happens we just break those things unfortunately just order a bunch of them
all right let's go load this drill so we get a little bit of seed in the ground
so
hi camera you see you guys yeah are you guys at the big tractor yeah
hi cameron hi say hi everybody hi everybody this is rosie she's my oldest this is luke
he's my second oldest and my youngest screamingly went to take a nap he wanted
to come so bad but it's nap time but they get a ride with daddy for a little bit
bye bye
so
i was plowing along and then there come uh a uh obstacle actually two so i had to stop and pick
them up say hi yay nothing like running a butt and having two grandkids with you awesome what
a life rain's coming dad's booking it he's got her to high gear i think he wants to get done at this
field before the rain really hits i think he's got time he'll pull it off but i got some kiddos that
wanted to ride with grandpa so they're riding the grandpa let's go get them
silly puppy well we got shut down for a couple days you can see it's still lightly sprinkling
here got about a half inch of rain that's like a three inch rain for you uh row crop farmers that
have all the rain and everything it's a big rain for us our soil here tends to get pretty
mucky with not a lot of rain so it shut us down for a couple days we we're gonna probably try
to go tomorrow but i don't know we'll see what happens it's a little dark up there and a little
bit of spitting going on we got around 2000 acres left i think i've said that about four times now
but we added another 400 acres of canola that we're gonna try if we can get it in
it's getting a little late so we're getting a little nervous about that but we'll hopefully
get some good days ahead of us coming up here um things are going good i went to the lake house
over the weekend purged a well i guess you'd say shocked it because there were some levels of uh
bacteria that needed taken care of so i learned how to do that so good stuff lake house videos are
coming um we're gonna be building a deck here soon so i think i'm gonna record that all right let me
get the shop just maybe on the apache spray work let's go well dad's building a sweet staircase
and we're still rained out but it's not any longer be back in the field in fact
actually probably could be spraying i'll look at the weather again and see what's coming but
remember these tie rod ends i think this one's pretty solid reason this one's not
wore out the other side isn't the apache it dawned on me it's because there's two
arms pulling on this whole thing so this side's got two spots to take the wear and tear
as it's traveling down the road taking abuse two arms well two joints this side's only got one
so all the torque that happens on this wheel is being driven entirely into that joint that's the
bad one but i went ahead and got both because i figured it'd be a good idea to get both
joints so let's go ahead and put this one in the one that's bad right here at first
and then i'll swap that one out too if the first one's easy then we'll go spray some loads
i think i'm gonna pull the other side off i got the joints this is taken apart
this side it seems tight but i've got might as well do it i think it's gonna be easier to put
this in the vise this tire on and change the bowl get the alignment just right and put it back up in
i think let's take this one off
so it's not the longest tie rod you've ever seen wow that's huge
it was due
so i measured the distance or the width of the tie rod with the ends in and then i also
marked on there where the nut goes so i'll put the nut in that spot then i'll run it into the
tie rod then jam the nut tight but i got the other side too but let's put the nut on see if it fits
well that there definitely a hazard that thing it would have come apart going down the road
um there have been nothing holding this tire in alignment and then that wheel would have turned
and who knows what would have happened this side's got double you got the cylinder and the tie rod so
it's locked but both ends are changed both ends are tight you guys watch me do it so sure did
right popped right in just fine lineman looks good i'm thinking i might get everything outside
go spray a load out well i think i probably better stop because that's coming this way
don't want to wash the spray that i just put down huh i got a load out that's good
that's good found out the neighbor's seating right now that's good too it's bad that we're not
we'll fix that tomorrow going home
things are moving both buds are up and about leg arms pressure washing his off make looking
all pretty for the camera that's what we do dad's getting fuel over here with his
uh i got a bunch of fertilizer i found out the truck didn't have as much seating as i thought
so i got to treat some seed but we're getting there we'll be long getting the field get us done
hear that old versailles engine burn in there it's actually coming but it came out of a versatile
it is a little bit smokey i think it needs the rack ran on it something we'll have to
do probably this next season but let's get him filled up he's ready for it
that's it that's all the barley that's it so whatever's in that truck whatever the drills
that'll help to finish out those acres and then it's canola so i just got to clean the storm up
get it all prepped and ready and done for the season because we're not going to be needing
any more for canola let's do it okay back at uh seeding last few days and then we'll
be done and i'm on a piece uh we call the airport land it's just east of the airport
and it's kind of a hilly uh air piece of land but uh just curious um
this piece of ground has 14 power poles that stretch across it one goes diagonally and then
there's a another branch that heads across the field so there's 14 of them so i'm doing a lot and
turning around and around so i'm kind of curious on some of the comments um how many uh polls do
you have in some of your fields uh nothing against the polls because uh these are power poles and uh
we we get a charge out of them actually this is our line eventually reaches our farm
so i don't find just because i have to farm around them like this i don't find
it revolting because it only it not only serves us but it also powers other farms out farther
so you know but it's just one of those things you put up with um i was watching real closely
does that make me a pole watcher what are those are those antelope kobe do you see some antelope
really goldstone
he's going the opposite way got fooled but he just runs adam a few paces then stops um he does
he knows he can't catch him and uh they uh will come back around and be curious at him
and he'll look at them and then he'll both go on their own way so but he just loves a
he's a herd dog and so anything like that you know that instinct um i'm an old dog
you
