DEAD BATTERIES, AIR LOCKING TRACTORS & BUSTED BEARINGS, ALL IN ONE DAY.!!!

Its two steps forward and one back, or more like two steps back and one forward. Winter hibernation time again for the summer silage kit, but as usual a very simple job is hampered with mini disasters... flat batteries, air locking tractors and in the middle of all that we find a bearing in bits that needs changed.

Great video again. Just one of those days. Would love to see the flying thing as well.👍👍👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers Carlos, hope get it up an running (i mean flying) soon!!!!🤞😎😂

[@paulthompson8467]

Good video getting machinery put away for winter is a bit like playing suduko when space is at a premium but its satisfying to have everything in out of the weather 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers Paul. It is good to get it all under cover.👍👍

[@johncallaghan3367]

Good stuff. Keep them coming

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks! Will do!👍

[@stephenmeehan9961]

Time for a portable jump-start especially coming into the winter. Great to have a shed for these bits of machinery.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Its a must buy item after that carry on.👍

[@eamondempsey3018]

Would love to see that taarup double chop on the 1200, would be interesting on corners epically with the handles for the spout 😂. You might need to upgrade the controls to Bluetooth 😅. Maby some day we'll se it 🤞. (We used to have a similar harvester pulled by a Zetor crystal with a passenger on the back seat working the levers for the spout 😂). Great idea for the flying interviews, you could call it "Top Goon"😂 fair play for doing it for the air ambulance, a worthy cause 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

It might have to be like the ploughing Eamon....straight lines only. Could leave the old hand controls on there and just stop, jump out of the cab and adjust them.😂😂

[@bobpaterson1845]

Good video 👍 old saying,,,,,,never rains but it pours 🙄🤣🤣🤣

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Bob👍 Thats a very true saying.

[@stephennesbitt8337]

Excellent video, the idea about flying with other KZbinrs sounds good to me 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Stephen 👍 Hopefully get it up and running soon.

[@philipjmcloughlin5880]

Great video Cathal 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Philip!👍

[@david-g8l6i]

great watch 👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Cheers David.👍👍😎

[@SAB_Agri]

U need get a few trickle chargers to keep them half right. I tried that too, but I can’t get them to run on fresh air!😉 🤙🤙👍👍

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Trickle chargers be a good idea alright.👍

[@grahamclark7594]

You get days like that Cathal, diesel makes a difference!. Bit confused about the 100 Series series going flat due to the ignition being left on, they were supplied ex Banner Lane with a spring to off lucas ignition switch. Switches with ignition on were used on 500 Series and the 1200. Maybe not just the 290 that was dry of diesel for this video Cathal? 😂😂😂😂😂 🇸🇪. Great video as usual.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Diesel sure does help🤦‍♂️ Possible the 168 has had a replacement ignition switch at some point in its history??? It has a non standard ignition light. I never even checked 168 for raspberry Juice , 🙄. Defo a flat batter in this case.

[@grahamclark7594]

@FlyingFergyMan sounds like it's been changed, change it back next time you have a few bob and a half hour 😀. Save you frustration, nothing worse than a machine that won't start. Here in Sweden it is mandatory to have an isolator switch. However you also have to remember to switch it off!. Not got round to doing this on 1104 and 1200, will do when they go for testing and registration. After rebuild, probably 2025 some time. We critics are a pain especially when we suffer the same problems Cathal. Have a good day.

[@williambowman7589]

Just love those tidy up videos Cathal but I do think you need to build another shed and give your father a pay rise💶💶💶

[@FlyingFergyMan]

He needs to give me a pay rise you mean.😂😂😂. There are plans for some more expansion.😉😉

[@barrymallon9373]

Great vid today. Just one of those days. Would love to c flying things to!!!

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Thanks Barry, will defo do the flying thing for sure..weather permitting.👍👍

[@Gearoid35]

Then tractors are a pain in the arse when they won't start, get one of them noco power packs they are brilliant for jump starting.

[@FlyingFergyMan]

You said it Gearoid, yes Noco power pack would have been very handy item. Going to order one to cut out that hassle again.👍👍

[@Gearoid35]

@@FlyingFergyMan go for the most powerful one

[@aaronmitchell3671]

What size of rear tyres is on your 290

[@FlyingFergyMan]

16.9 R34👍

[@danielcunningham5052]

Be aswell with 2 or 3 fresher tractors, all that messing just wouldnt work if you had much to get done

[@FlyingFergyMan]

Very true Daniel, there are more modern tractors in the fleet just giving the old girls a run out. Mostly self inflicted by leaving ignition on and not putting diesal in the tanks.🙄🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

First again...
