Here in Latvia we would use it for another 10 years as minimum, it just need a little bit of welding and thats it

[@boehmfarm4276]

That has more paint left on it than any of our gravity wagons.

[@planeiron7553]

JD running gears are some of the best we had all JD running gears 60mph down the road trails perfect

[@fredcupp7358]

You could extend it and make a nice hay wagon to haul bales a short distance. Flat bed wagons come in real handy.

[@cotontop3]

We have a quite a few loads of scrap saved up, hundreds of big truck brake drums and all other bits and pieces of logging stuff. Hopefully the price will come on up a tad more and we will cash it in.

[@steveducell2158]

just an observation........you guys appear to be very analytical in your equipment decisions and i find that very refreshing.

[@lukestrawwalker]

We've got an old John Deere dry fertilizer machine, goes on the 3 point hitch, chisels in dry fertilizer on 4 rows at a time. We always washed the thing thoroughly with the pressure washer and soap when we were done, then SOAKED it with diesel fuel... just poured buckets of diesel into it and then went around it with a pump-up sprayer full of diesel and just soaked it, top to bottom, undersides, side to side, around the back and over the top, etc. Keep it in the barn away from water, it's held up so far... Later! OL J R :)

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

If you wash the tank out every time, it won't rust the same. We have just done Wholecrop harvest if you want to have a look Ryan?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Tom Pemberton Farm Life We did, but you can't get all the fertilizer out and over three decades it's eaten away at it.

[@tomricco77]

Tom Pemberton Farm Life enjoyed your video again tom!

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

How Farms Work oh that makes sense, We can all ours out but it's abit smaller 🙈. Dad made it bigger with old planks of wood so he can get two fert bags in hahha

[@nickskokut6537]

We spray some of ours with diesel after it's is washed

[@bigwheelsrollin6565]

That’s better shape than my best wagon that would be worth $1000 easy around here with the running gear. But we are small time farmers and do with what we have.

[@waterskiingfool]

That claw they use to unload is pretty cool

[@markhertzog6636]

That would make a good trailer for your 6 row corn head.

[@markhertzog6636]

BIlly the SMall Bong thorton from india. I made mine from a similar running gear for the exact same head. We even stretched it for the 893 john Deere it holds now. Have you had problems with yours?

[@BornToFarm101MN]

my uncle made a header cart with running gear like this and a telephone pole. works great

[@night_bot3798]

Why did you not take the extensions of and keep them? never know when ya might need em.

[@douglaslaramie9245]

Ryan, on our soils (which are different than yours, I know) nearly 100 % of the planters run a high phosphorous starter fertilizer on the row at 2" beside and 2'" below the seed. I use dry at about 150 -170 lbs/ acre. Some guys use liquid. At that rate it doesn't slow you down that much filling. I have experienced the yield advantage of starter vs no starter first hand, by accident when I broke a fertilizer drive chain. Obviously on your soil it doesn't affect yield that much or you would go back to a starter fertilizer. Even on high fertility fields the starter fertilizer being that close to the row, works for us. Is it fair to say for you guys it's not worth the effort? KIT d

[@scottviers3794]

Why didn't you keep the box extensions. You could have used them on another.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Scott Viers Odds are we aren't going to be getting another wagon that small any time soon and they'd end up sitting around taking up space.

[@matt56849]

They actually work well the top, far side of a big wagon so you're not as likely to run it over when filling it with a grain cart. At least we did it for our 650bu wagon that sits in at the auger to the grain bin, on the far side and the ends

[@57fitter]

I'm glad someone else saw that, too. Everybody on Craigslist would have given fifty bucks for them.

[@lukestrawwalker]

Or sell them on fleabay... some guys still run wagons that small and could have used a set of good extensions... Later! OL J R :)

[@VideosByAl]

That box would have been $55 in Cedar Rapids Ia. However that Deere gear is worth $250 for a Hay Rack.

[@57fitter]

If it's Deere, around 400 (in Indiana)all week long.

[@America-First2024]

$850-$1000 in Texas

[@redneckjeff4991]

We made a corn header trailer with a running gear

[@GuyinWY]

Those running gear are always handy. I'm looking for another one myself to build another dump wagon on. Could you put another steer stuffer on yours?

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

Fertilizer tends to corrode metal it’s exposed to.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Ryan. have you ever thought about having plastic liners made or is it not worth the hassle?...

[@lidsman2221]

You may want to consider sandblasting the rust off of the frame and repainting it while you have the chance.

[@rupertmundy6556]

Turn it into a flat bed trailer for carting around pallets of seed or just a run about trailer.

[@outminded6622]

Turn the old gravity box bass into a flatbed trailer.

[@simonrichard9873]

You could make a hay wagon with that frame

[@codyoldendorf4636]

you could make a hay rack of the running gear

[@eliemming3495]

Can use running gear for another bale wagon.

[@olivedeans971]

Make a handy little flat bed

[@latashabruhn7644]

What we did with the running gear is put on a fuel tank on top

[@alexbuss3377]

Rust in peace

[@libertyevanko1794]

Great but sad video!

[@Ghis1964s]

....good enough for a head-hauler

[@chandlermilstead7548]

did anyone hear someone say " the best place for a Dodge"

[@michaelbaumgardner9493]

You could buy 1000 gallon tank for Anhydrous Ammonia aka Nitrogen an have your own nurse tank.

[@forestlawrencegrading9154]

Less than 19 and a half cents a pound

[@Bg1111ghk]

Clean that thing up and repaint it before the rust eats it too!

[@Lo24775]

68 bucks thats it ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Farming Gamer That's what we thought lol but ironically, the gears are worth more than the unit with the box on it.

[@TheUncommonKIBBLES]

its SCRAP yall

[@MatthewHoag77]

Which means he made more than 5 times that just from the GMC logo from his truck. (You're welcome, Ryan.)

[@sheiry1]

scrap metal is dirt cheap anymore. around here its not even worth the fuel to haul to the yard unless you got one hell of a load. i worked at a small engine shop and we would let anyone who wanted it take the scrap metal.

[@Blazer02LS]

Same here. I just toss all the scrap into a chassis that is heading to a yard and let them worry about it.

[@rogerwilson9361]

Ryan, I would think you could use with spraying or new gravity wagon many possible uses for it.

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

That blue wagon is a DMI correct? The big little logo is different than I've ever seen. Especially compared to the logo on ours lol.

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

Edit: huh just got to that point in the video where you say it's an arts wagon. Smh maybe I should finish the video before commenting lol.

[@williamriddell9202]

Turn it into a bale trailer?

[@billbaas1402]

I like to fill my old gravity boxes full of other scrap before I bring them in.

[@connorhachborn2141]

That's quite the grain wagon,got a few miles on it.

[@MatthewHoag77]

It was definitely time to send that one down the road. Is the running gear sufficiently heavy duty to handle a chopper box if required in the future? If not, how will you use it?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Matthew Hoag Could be converted to a flat bed for large squares. Could be made into anything, I've heard of guys mounting sprayers on them.

[@MatthewHoag77]

As you already might have guessed, I'm eager to see what you guys do with it. I know you'll keep us posted.

[@LUNITICWILL]

i would've just made a bigger box and slap it on the running gear.

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless stay safe guys 👍

[@farmallskittle]

time to make a hay trailer

[@israelquirarte3372]

Almost a full tank of Diesel for your truck

[@dvanstraalen]

Looks like it was time

[@ruralrider9961]

Best place for a Dodge, Amen.

[@ontarioagguy2769]

Ruralrider ain't that the truth!!!

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

My dad dumped over $7000 into repairing his grand caravan and it's only a 2008. Piece of trash.

[@braydenhood4415]

Make it into a bale trailer

[@baised55]

You know you could utilize the running gear and turn into a hayrack or a trailer to use for future farm days as a shuttle, just an idea.

[@Toddgillilandfan]

We're is this

[@bobbylouis6502]

Make it into a hay wagon

[@tanyamacquarrie856]

[@ziggysigs5293]

Big fan. I live on a farm to

[@deividaspavardenis8573]

What next item will be in your farm?

[@farmingsimulatorfan4337]

I geuse 1'000 right

[@silvershark2843]

Wow what a waste. I could still use it

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Gary Rivard Maybe you could, but we were to the point of spending too much time fixing it for what it did for us.

[@jaygroomes1357]

NOOOOOOO NOT THE TRAIL WAGON 😭😭😭 obviously I’m joking Rule #1 Do not become emotionally attached to your equipment. Lol

[@Blazer02LS]

Hmm, I can see a hay ride rig for the next farm days...

[@jessegoucher8813]

Cool, thanks

[@fishingfarminglife8558]

Wow cool i love john deere i am 7 and i drive a 1250 john deere

[@theogheshmodding9955]

[@olivermohwinkel9409]

[@banjobenson9348]
