Another not so perfect day using Vintage Farm Equipment. Spreading Manure like they did in 1961.

We are going to use the J.I. Case 730 tractor and the New Idea No. 19 Manure spreader to spread composted manure on our hay field.

Back when I sold equipment for the local Deere dealer, I sold a couple spreaders, I joking told both customers that was the only piece of equipment I wouldn’t stand behind 😂

[@michaelmactavish4445]

we traded the old spreader and got a bigger one from kubota and case dealer wich is versitile with hydrulic tailgate wich take beaters off and use as dump trailer

[@jan-johannes-bosman]

Evan, some encouragement. I am in my sixties and have all gone wrong this week alone broke 3 tools, geyser / boiler went, timers blew. I live with diabetes, heart problems and cancer, I have lost most of my sight and my spine and neck is encased in metal. I am not overweight, walked a half and full marathon. I started a urban farm 2 years ago to help those in need, but it seems one step forward and three back. We battle the electricity beast here. Some days 6-8 hours and ot its worst 2 weeks all not because of weather. This week alone 2 days without water. Drink water from the rain catchment army style. Electricity means no internet and solar out of my reach. Every day as I approach the cross I get energy and then get up and go again. Videos and the real you is what inspires me. So thank you so much.🤗🙏🇿🇦

Use a hair dryer in intake to heat incoming air. I have to do that with my 3000 ford cause it doesn't has the preheater option

[@BryanPAllen]

Maybe a cordless heat gun to heat up the intake manifold and carb intake would help him out as an alternative?

Looks like my grandfathers old spreader. It was a 30 year old case spreader in about the same condition back in the 60's LOL. Neat to see the old equipment still working. Not that its any where near that age. It was just brings back memories. The simplicity is what makes it last. If he was around he would have had to replace the wood on it by now. Carry on Evan. Enjoy.

My Grand Father had a manure spreader just like that, beside using it for the cattle manure, he also grew Tobacco and when the leaves were stripped off the stalks, they would get thrown in the spreader and spread out in the pastures to decompose.

[@brianmcneese9425]

Been there, done that. Growing up on a dairy and tobacco farm in 70's and 80's in Ky. The work never ended. We loaded our manure spreader with pitchforks.

Once you get the first compost bin empty move everything from the second bin into the first one and then start filling bin 2 again. It helps to turn it and decompose faster.

as a youngster on a farm i can attest that this job is one of the worst especially in July and August. It ts stink from start to finish. Wore a rain jacket cause our spreader tossed in every direction including up and forward. even after a long shower i stil felt icky. did it with both tractor and horses. Thanks for bringing all those memories.

[@robwilde855]

I remember the same thing. Instead of your rain-jacket we inverted a jute/hessian grain sack, put one of the [originally bottom] corners into the other, and wore it as a sort of combined hood and cloak. Very happy days.

That tractor has a decompression lever under the dash to relieve some of the stress from the starter. Also a bit of ether would help.

Great video

[@gerardcudmore1556]

Get your self a can of starting fluid .A small amount sprayed in you air intake will help with those cold starts.. You can not use it with glow plugs but it will help with old tractors. Just use it sparingly . It is used a lot in colder climates with older equipment . It will also be easier on your starter and battery . Just don't over rev it when it first starts. Another great video always look forward to your videos .Have a great day.

Hi, Evan! I love watching you work with your tractors. You bring them to life.

My 730 has a glow plug button I push to heat the air at the intake and I also have a lever that takes the compression off the cylinders for fast easy starts in cold weather.. yours does too, that little lever on the right by the steering column, twist it too the right..

[@CountryViewAcres]

[@miket5331]

When it's very cold you can heat the intake manifold with a mapgass torch, hot intake air cuts the cranking by half.

[@MRcrem1]

if you stir the compost more often it will turn quicker

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

Lol, Evan, watching you try to revive that old tractor was like watching Dr. Frankenstein bring his monster to life. Gnarly looking and stitched together with spare parts, apply some electric shock, flip a lever, and then, "Yeesss!!" 🤣

[@graydonturner]

The hay that is not composted yet would make great amendment if spread directly on the field. We feed hay to our stock directly on pasture. The best grass grows where the hay was fed if left to be eaten enough or spread out. It breaks down and is gone before first cutting if you have good active soil life. If you leave it to compost you'll lose more nutrients to the atmosphere.

[@kevinbailey9564]

Just a guess… but I suspect the grass grows best where the hay was fed mainly due to the “fertilizer” the cows leave behind while eating the hay rather than the contribution of the hay residue that remains on the ground.

[@waynejones5239]

When you spread hay out on pasture you get a double benefit seeds and some hay and what the cattle leaves behind 90%consumed more or less have reseed parts of bare pasture and stopped washing

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Hello Evan! Those older Case tractors may be a little hard to start with the cold but they usually last pretty good, congrats you got her running. You got a good buy at a $200 price on the manure spreader, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing, have a great day.

[@BlackPill-pu4vi]

Because he's using vintage equipment, I'll bet his operation is clearing a profit. Plus he can work on his own stuff and not be a prisoner to John Deere. As for the Case tractor, doesn't that thing have glow plugs? It should just start right up if it does.

[@rickysens597]

Nice to see that i am not the only one using museum pieces on the farm. The nice part is the bank doesnt own any of the iron. Water circulator is easier to install than a block heater....keep spreading the news!!!

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863]

Under two hundred bucks and it works... Heck of a good deal

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Maybe you can take one link out of the chain and adjust it accordingly. I think the spreader is cool. Hopefully it can be repaired for further use.

[@Sagern234]

This was my thought, back the tensioner all the way down and remove a link, or maybe 2, then retighten

[@robwilde855]

Two links. You have to remove chain links in pairs.

[@garyjohnson4458]

If your going to use a block heater get a inline one that heats the coolant and circulates it and add a cub holder

[@hollandduck79]

to start a cold diesel engine more easily, insert a hair dryer on hottest setting or a hot air gun in the air intake, then the engine needs to make less heat in the engine to ignite the diesel

[@russellyoung1181]

My tractors of this vintage all have starting fluid systems built-in, and a block heater plumbed into the coolant, which works much better than the stick-on oil pan options. If you don't have or haven't plugged-in the heater, a 1 second spray of fluid in the top of the air intake, and you'd be off and running without a battery charger of any sort. Thanks for the vid!

[@jvin248]

Glad to see the antique tractor fleet is in operation again. If you are feeling limited on your compost then look up the Johnson-su bioreactors, they give several talks and the channel young red angus has done a bunch of testing, it's really good for crops including hay.

[@eagle2019]

Evan, keep a spray can of WD40 in the tractor. Spray it into the intake like you would ether. It works just as well but not as hard on the engine as ether.

You can use a PTO driven spreader to mix your pile. Just back it up to where you want it and load it while its running at lower rpms so it doesn’t fling it into the woods.

[@randallquiring9525]

Your Case would benefit from a block heater in cold weather. If you build an extra compost bin you can occasionally "turn" your compost by transfering it from one bin to another. Your spreader chain could need a half link taken out or a new one.

[@joshbutterfass5251]

I suggest putting that case tractor inside a building if you want to continue to use it during the cold winter months so it starts easier for you

[@terrypomatto907]

Evan I would suggest to put a water heater for the Case. It would keep the block and radiator warm. I connected the engine heater and heated the engine a day before I used the tractor. When it started snowing I plugged in the tractor just as a safety factor for clearing the driveway.

[@dwk7375]

Hi, friend. Good job. well done. Your tractor is old, but it's great. I live in the other hemisphere and I also have an old mtz-50 tractor in my farm in 1978. and it also starts badly :) good luck to you.

[@charlenepartlow7880]

Hey y'all ! Fun video Evan ! A drag harrow would help spread that compost more evenly...just a thought buddy ! And a bit of triple 19 fertilizer with the seed may help...I don't know ..just another idea...we dont have a farm ..we just have property that we plant seed...last year we did sorghum Sudan grass and did the triple 19 with the seed and it grew really well over 8ft tall! Fun times ...deer bedded down in it and bunnies hid in it while it was growing, before we turned it under for enriching our soil ...it was our first attempt at the Sudan grass....have a great day ! 👍

[@CountryViewAcres]

i have a drag harrow. That's not a bad idea.

[@powrguy1696]

You'll probably remove a link in that chain, which most likely is pretty stretched, and the tension will be adjustable again. Watching the spreader (which was a GREAT buy), I think getting a slower bed-feed speed would go a long ways toward controlling the coverage, too. I'm sure you'll engineer some kind of fixes, as you usually do.

[@mabloodhound]

That was my same thought---remove a link.

[@thewayidoit8895]

I've got a feeling it's the wrong chain as well. That is a double like chain or whatever. Normally used in light applications like a baler knotter. A couple years back I scrapped a gear box because the spreader was rust and rot. I wouldn't hesitate to use ether to start the tractor. If there's no glow plugs. They make an ether for diesels. Cranking and cranking like that beats the starter and wires and likely washes the cylinders with diesel.

[@dwk7375]

Whenever a chain goes to jumping off, replace it, chances are it's wore out
