[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@ianhaggart1438]

Good work... that floor is going to make a huge difference when it's all done. Stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks! Yes it should really cut down on the dust

[@peterwarnstrom8872]

Another great video Dennis. I enjoy keeping up with what you are doing. Thanks.

[@DLHFarms]

Awesome!

[@mandog2142]

Dennis, your new audio really makes a difference! Really high quality.

[@DLHFarms]

Well thanks!

[@dozingnsloping6814]

It's about time someone decided/chose to sponsor you! You absolutely deserve it, for everything you put into these videos,plus all the knowledge you have on the things you speak of have actually helped me out a time or two, I know others appreciate it also.

[@DLHFarms]

Well thanks! Just so you know though I wouldn’t advertise for them if I didn’t use and believe there products were good. My John Deere and one of my old NH tractors were tuned by them and it’s been great.

[@robinlance]

Dennis, Getting the A-OK from dad makes all the hard work worth it. I miss my Dad's A OK on a Job well Done.

[@DLHFarms]

I’m really sorry 😞 my wife just lost her dad and it’s been very hard.

[@leol1682]

Enjoy your work Denis

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks

[@George88889]

The broom attachment is nice. Ive used them before. They make light work out of a mess that would require scraping with a shovel like mud and dirt on a driveway, road or sidewalk.. up in the northern states people use them to "fling" the stones out of their yard after plowing season. Its quick and easy. Sure beats raking. Heck im pretty sure you could use it to broom a light snow off walk ways as well.

[@DLHFarms]

Awesome I need to get one.

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

The laser level saves alot of work.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes

[@willardlocks]

Great video, keep them coming.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@bjenkins803]

I checked out Miller's Farm Services. I need to reach out to them about my Massey. Another awesome video as always.

[@DLHFarms]

Don’t know which Massey you have but he has done a bunch of 4700 series.

[@zachbaugh6317]

I have a kombi with the rubber paddles and j love it for moving dirt from hard surfaces and gravel from the grass after plowing

[@DLHFarms]

Awesome I want to get one but the dealer didn’t talk highly of them.

[@kevinlewis8409]

Looking good

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@2naturesownplace]

@Dennis my cocker spaniel does the same thing. My vet recommends Zyrtec. Once a day and so far it's worked. They can also do this when they smell chemicals their body is trying to expel it.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks I may try that

[@404nitro]

The Stihl "power broom" is the one with the rubber flapper paddles and it very useful, especially for getting stones and mulch out of grass. The "power sweep" is the same attachment with the bristle brush drums installed. I have those too, but I have found very little real use for them and they require a significant amount more of power to run than the rubber drums.

[@DLHFarms]

Ok I wondered which one would be better

[@404nitro]

@@DLHFarms Definitely the rubber paddles.

[@joshuapreusser2265]

Have had the kombi system for several years (have the prior generation KM130 power head). The string trimmer and blower are what I've used the most, though the pole saw is also extremely handy (with or without the extension). The multi-angle hedge trimmer on the other hand gets a bit front heavy for long usage periods ..and is almost better used as a light-use powered scythe in my opinion. Have been considering getting the new KM131 powerhead - or their battery-powered head since I'm more frequently having to do a lot of start/stop and short runtime operations. Especially since the kombi leaf blower taught just me how useful leaf blowers can be. For me they've pretty much replaced using brooms in sheds or outdoors, and they make quick work of cleaning loose dirt, gravel, grass and small sticks off of equipment. Enough so that I several years ago I bought a Makita cordless handheld leaf blower just for cleaning equipment off since I'd already had a fair number of other Makita cordless tools & batteries. So yeah I'm looking forward to seeing how you use the kombi system.... see if I can pick up any new tricks I can use myself ;)

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it’s a wonderful tool. I think I would get the battery one for the stop start jobs your talking about.

[@joshuapreusser2265]

@@DLHFarms Yeah, I figure the electric ones are also easier/safer to carry on the tractor with me. Saves a bit of time carrying one on the tractor as it's simple enough to park the tractor/mower to trim around mailboxes & sign posts vs. walking back over ground I've already driven over once (or more).

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks

[@richarddemers1750]

Hey there Dennis. I’m no doctor but on your dog that sounds like a reverse sneeze. My dog does it every so often and I always thought it was something in his throat too. Can’t wait for the floor to get done.

[@DLHFarms]

Maybe it is a reverse sneeze haha

[@George88889]

That dump truck reminds me of the one i ran a little in the oilfield. 98 gmc c7500 had a 3126 cat and a 8LL. Easy to float, fun to drive 🤣🤣

[@DLHFarms]

Haha yep. This one is a 92 with a 3116 cat and a 6 speed.

[@George88889]

@@DLHFarms Awesome! They dont make them like that anymore.

[@paulcollins8296]

There seem to be a heck of a lot of green tractors at your place these days Dennis. I am really worried that you might take them out into the hay fields later in the year and then your drone will not be able to find green tractors in green fields. Anyway maybe those tractors are best suited to work inside and in close proximity to a workshop !

[@DLHFarms]

Haha! Don’t worry I’m not turning all green I got something coming soon that’s not green.

[@dozerman3248]

I see the J&J truck sales mud flaps on truck that's down in my neck of the woods 👍 Have a good one bud catch you on the next one!

[@DLHFarms]

Yep we drove down there and bought it several years ago.

[@hvy1ton]

Have you tried the broom attachment? I love mine.

[@DLHFarms]

Not yet I want to get one.

[@freemanhochstetler9598]

Where did you get the steering knob. I have the same steering wheel on my John Deere 360 it does have power steering, I can’t seem to find one that fits.

[@DLHFarms]

It came on it bought the tractor used but I think you can get those at tractor supply.

[@jcapoldo718]

Would it help to put blinders on the head? Might shield from reflections.

[@DLHFarms]

Not sure never tried that

[@Jacob-zd4gj]

What brand is the blade? And how much was it. I do lots of road work and I find that everything is going electronic. I can't seem to find employees that can run by the feel of the seat anymore.

[@DLHFarms]

It’s a “Levelbest” blade it was around 12k a couple years ago.

[@LoefflerFarms]

Ha whenever I try to film something I have the same problem with it not wanting to work correctly but as soon as the camera is off it works perfectly, my stack wagon is a real good example of that.

[@DLHFarms]

Haha yep Murphys law

[@dougvaldivia3395]

so the straw had mice in it...ole jack was just trying to point em out to you lol

[@DLHFarms]

Definitely haha

[@digging_in_the_parks2238]

We have a level best dual slope box, it did make things nice. Our trailer got broken into and the receivers and monitor box were stolen. Now its a giant paper weight. I hate when the roller man stops in front of the laser signal

[@DLHFarms]

That sucks, dang thief’s

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Looks great Dennis good base. Jack want to go with you if you leave property? Have a good day.

[@DLHFarms]

If I go anywhere when he is out of his pin i take him with me in the truck.

Hay Fever anyone? ( referring to the first part of the video, of course. I think this is going to be a good floor when you're done.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes!

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

OMG so weird, I just bought a broom for my kombi head TODAY!! I was at the Deere dealer pricing a 5115M and I always ask if they have a broom in stock, (they have been out of stock for almost a year) and today they dealer I was at had one that didn't have a drive shaft in it, but took a shaft out of something else and sold it to me. I want it to broom all the rock I snow plow off my driveway into the grass. LOL

[@DLHFarms]

Haha guess it was your lucky day! I just priced a 5115M also with the options I wanted it was $110,000 for a 5M I wasn’t happy that’s ridiculous.

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

@@DLHFarms yep, mine quoted around $108!! Only thing enticing is that they give you free money for 60 months but still not happening! It’s ridiculous, exact same tractor 3 years old with 1000 hours is going for $80-90. Prices are just nuts. We just need a second tractor for the bale grapple.

[@DLHFarms]

There’s a new tractor coming to my farm to run the tie grabber so keep an eye out

[@niccer28]

We have English setters they do the same thing

[@amped5234]

The concrete should never crack with that base under it, I liked the 3 different size John Deere's.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah It should hold up good. Haha yeah we have a 1,4, and 6 series deere we need a 2,3 and a 5. Haha

[@jarridcockey3810]

I know what you mean about that pig noise from a dog I had a beagle thats now deceased and she done the exact same noise I would say thats normal if jack is a beagle I would say thats normal

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah he is a noisy thing while I’m trying to sleep at night haha
