Day in the Life of a Small Farmer

We’re going to do a little spraying on my small farm today. We even find a surprise in my sprayer. I hope you all enjoy.

Every time I open the wing windows on my jeep I say "air conditioning, on"😂

If you get to stripping down your final driving unit to replace the outer oil seal, my advice would be to be mindful of how heavy the final drive cog is which you have to support when you slide out the stub axle. I used a block of wood jammed underneath it but only after I'd crushed two fingers from not realising how heavy it was in a confined space. Bryan Lindon's suggestion is a good one to try first though! Great vid!

Awesome video brother!

[@dianayavetz6286]

It always amazes me how much farmers need to be mechanics and understand so much equipment in addition to farming.

[@lambfarms7894]

It is a must

[@alio893]

I love animals and working on the farm. If someone is looking for a worker, I am here

"When we go to the gas station,we go to the gas station, we buy gas, and alot of it!" 😂😂😂😂 I love it. That's how I do it!

[@lambfarms7894]

That’s the way you gotta be brother

That 2 inch ball hitch on that drawbar will ruin that driveline if the bush hog drops into a ditch! Ask me how I know! Lol.

[@lambfarms7894]

Yeah you have to watch it, even with the bush hog on the ground it still has 5-6” so I don’t worry about it much

[@Newt3700]

I learned the hard way too..

[@philswords6390]

I didn’t worry about it either, until I was cleaning out a dry ditch and bh went down too far and bent drive line! About $450 25 years ago. Some average drive lines are now $1000 to $1500! Likely would not happen if ball had not been on drawbar. I had a sleeve made that fit my drawbar. Attached ball on one end slid other onto drawbar and pin dropped through sleeve and drawbar. Could attach or remove ball hitch by hand only, no wrench needed.

You might want to check the bolt in top of the final drive cover plate with the little breather vent holes if that little hole gets stopped up it will build up pressure snd push the oil through the seal I had one leaking and I stuck a little piece of wire in it and it sounded like I was letting air out of a tire

[@lambfarms7894]

Thanks! I’ll try that before I tear into it

[@justinhutton2578]

The weed killer will stay in the manure and ground for several years. I have seen videos of people using compost that had manure with the weed killer in it and it will wipe out a garden and it is hard to get the soil back to normal.

[@lambfarms7894]

I know the side effects. My farm was barely hit with spray, lime, or fertilize for many years. I have a serious horse nettle problem because of it. Hopefully with over seeding and proper land management I won’t have to spray as much

I don’t see all your info could you tell where your power beyond came from? Thanks

[@justinhutton8574]

@@lambfarms7894 I was just letting you know that way if you was going to compost aby, that you kept it away from your or anyone else's garden.

[@afarmerofficial6477]

my ford 4000's ball does that, the ball falls out

[@lambfarms7894]
