what'd you do i'm sorry it's my first day back on the job
okay everything's inside must fiend weather's coming
yeah minus six degrees fahrenheit and six to ten inches of snow but i'm glad we got the bud done
new shoes are on good on that i think it's time i do a little bit of a maintenance i'm going
to bring my suburban in here and drop all the fluids including differentials transfer cases
transmissions and engine so i'll bring him in here her it and uh get that ready for the year and then
find some stuff to do because uh it's winter that's how it goes these days
that always takes longer it should but i didn't pay someone to do it all fluids changed
transmission filter changed greasing done should we get to go for a while and rotate the tires
bring on winter let's go got another call for the order of peas out of those bins
this time because well you guys know our auger that we're working on which is way over there
it's kind of got some issues we didn't finish yet it's getting there and then the other the blue
auger the branch auger the engine on that decided they wanted to destroy its engine fan though it is
cool enough outside it'd probably be fine but it's slow it's only eight inches and it's slow so we're
gonna bring the big dog in this is the 13-inch the mx-130 94-footer so what we're gonna do is
we're gonna take off this ramp and then we're gonna use this gold two and we're gonna stick it
right up against the unloading auger on the bin and use the slug trucks this can be way faster
i don't know enough room to put that gulp underneath that
we'll see it'll be tight if we can get underneath that'd be awesome but it's going to be tight i my
goal i was gonna bring the backhoe over here and i was gonna dig out probably six to eight inches
of soil underneath this whole area just cut this whole area down and not just have a little hole
under each spout because that's just a pain it's going to fill with water because this slopes up as
these green ones were built up and this could be knocked down level with the road out here well not
quite level i want a little run off but then you'd at least be able to get augers when these easier
but you never know we might decide to upgrade these and go to the 45 angle and run the spout
up higher it's it can be added on it's not too late now it's just yeah we'll see what happens
we had some ice filled up inside the gulp canvas here and then it wasn't budging so i
got the propane torch and we kind of just worked on a little bit got it freed up it's just running
right now we're gonna go back an extension cord and plug the tractor because we have electricity
here that's awesome we're gonna let that run let's get all the water off the canvas that way first
thing in the morning when the truck comes get a load it'll hopefully be free and if it's not i
got the propane ready but yeah always something in the winter winter makes life wonderful well
the truck didn't show up this morning that was supposed to get the load of peas and we need the
7140 because we're gonna put that on the grain vac to pull out some wheat so we're gonna start the
old john deere 45 20 up and take that over hook it up to that westfield auger take the 7140s on
the west vlogger hook up to the rim v12 vac and then go to the rain bin to fill some trucks of
wheat while this tractor is set on the westfield unload the peas make sense let's go cold start go
it actually is only probably 20 degrees fahrenheit out right now i know i've been a sweater isn't
that crazy yeah it's it's a nice sweatshirt it keeps you warm all right we're back at the 7140
he's going to start this thing up it's been plugged in for the day so it should
just fire right up then we'll make sure that conveyor is running and not frozen
and then when that's good i'm going to drop this unhook it
i guess he's going to start the hydraulic just check make sure this works
pull this back there we go perfect wow look at that snow in here why is there
snow in here you ask what happened to the door you may ask why did i leave it
open when the wind gusted but i didn't know it was going to gust but it gusted
a lot of questions but this is what we're here for this thing's a beast the vr 12 vr 12. this
thing's awesome ooh i'm riding a leg arm style it's a 2008 gmc yeah he knows how to pick it
unlike my 1998 toyota tacoma with like 210 000 miles on it which i've only put about
20 000 on it since i've had it i've had it over 10 years this drives around the farm
i need a different pickup you guys want to tell me what you get leave in the comment below i dare you
i'm actually curious what you guys say pretty sure i know what but tell me what pickup i should get
if i get one not gonna happen unless the wife says it's okay kobe and dad can't separate those two
so depending on what you're using ptos come with a 540 or a thousand this tractor's got
a thousand it's a lot larger spline or size shaft with more splines in it we have an
adapter to neck it down to 540 that's that auger was using i gotta take this adapter
off because this pto on this vr12 ram vac is a thousand so let's pull this uh adapter off
so
this is pretty cool this can contract or extend out as needed
give a little flexibility this vr12 is a beast of a vac it is it seems like it takes less power
yeah it does a lot more and i hear a jake big yeah there's definitely a peterborough coming
so let's get the truck on this thing move some grain we're gonna go get the international the
guys will be back and then we'll get two trucks going and then eventually their
second truck will be going and bringing a lot of green move quick
that did not take long at all wow okay i'm learning that back that's that's actually my
first time running that vacuum wheat so it's i'm getting used to it but we're gonna get
the international fired up let's bring it over here and get that loaded if i don't get on the
road to get it delivered today at least out in the yard i can take it out first thing in the morning
then he's our neighbor he's gonna hit the road right now
and uh get that load in so go get him tiger all right let's get that 9370 started
and uh let it warm up so we can put some weed in there and get ready to haul the conrad there we go
there's a lot of awesomeness in this [ __ ] right here okay let's go get it started
yeah she's a little cold so let her sit
there
we got some neighbors of ours that are helping us out haul a little bit of wheat to conrad
and they pulled in to the field turned around and uh there's no weight on the truck
well i guess he just spin it out so my dad's gonna use the his duramax and uh we'll grab
this yank him rope in here and let's see if they can do it by the way
thanks guys thanks for all the support that you've given me and my family for uh you know
with my little injury and then of course my kiddo on the way well my kiddo that's here
just really blessed just wanted to say thank you to everybody i don't know what else to say um
yeah thank you that means a lot it really does
take a rope to the rescue leg arms push the snow in the wrong spot
got him stuck okay well we thought we had him
but i think we're gonna have to pull him a little bit farther second time's the charm this time
so all right well got her all fueled up floated ready to roll make sure she's legal hopefully we
piled front in the back and hopefully the center being empty will be about the right weight but
i'll get going in the morning hit the road quickly that's delivered and get this process going
you
