How to remove or install your front end loader..Green Paint Version

[@bcpfarmandtrucking6560]

You need a bigger tractor...at least 110hp

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Need bigger wallet too lol

[@michaelmactavish1728]

my kubota dealer has a 141hp m6-141 kubota with bucket,forks,hla blade and dubble auger snowblower for only $99,000 with 18% off the tractor and 10% off impellemnets perchuse wich pretty good deal and 115hp newholland t5.115 with loader,bucket,forks and blower is $139,900

[@Ford-pd5sn]

My grandpa has 228 acres and his biggest tractor is a Massey ferguson 65

[@FarmallFanatic]

I need a bigger channel 🤪

[@FarmallFanatic]

@@Ford-pd5sn Massey 65 is a great tractor

[@okcowrancher]

Thank you for this great video. You showed the parts while you explained how it works

[@ruyguy8888]

Josh. You are one of the few and far between breed of farmers who clean out their quick connects before you install the loader or implements. A few microns of dirt goes a long way to chewing up a hydraulic system, or worse yet.. causing a safety issue because of grit stuck in a poppet valve. Cheers from NS, Canada.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Amen to that...take care of it and it will still break eventually! We want this tractor to last until I'm 80! or 90

[@kavingoucher9231]

I find shutting my tractor off and moving the loader control around relieves the pressure and makes connecting hydraulics easier.

[@curtwhite876]

I almost didn't watch this video because I have an orange tractor, but I'm glad I did, there is still useful information here. You should do a similar video of this process on the B3350, it's much simpler. And another advantage is that the Kubota connections are horizontal so water doesn't pool in them. Keep it up with the great content!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks man....yea I think it's interesting to see how the other side lives don't you?

[@jsdny1]

I have the same tractor, I’ve never have taken off the loader, but always wondered how the support stands worked. Thanks for the video

[@cheydahlitz4165]

The valve is for locking the front loader I think so like if you were cutting net wrap or something and if you turn that you can go up and Down. And also not saying you are doing something wrong but around our farm we leave the implements on the ground. Love the videos keep it up 👍

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Josh when you have pressure in the lines. Just shut the tractor off then move the controls all directions and it will release the pressure. God bless

[@Sam-nl6fr]

Really useful to see...the every day practicalities

[@wfeismann]

Quick tip, don't shake the air duster, it works much longer if you don't. Great video!

[@Void_And_Absent]

You do a good job of explaining, Thank you.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Glad ya enjoyed the video!

[@pineyhavenhomestead8947]

Thank you so much for the tractor information. It has helped me realize how big of a tractor I need here at Piney Haven. Thankfully a smaller one like your Kubota will be all the tractor I will need here on my 4.29 acres :) **HUGS & PRAYERS** Have a Blessed Day!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Oh yea...glad to help ya buddy! It's tough making this very expensive decision! Be sure and share my videos with like minded folk if you think it will help them

[@kimculver1038]

I believe the valve locks the hyd sys to prevent drift when unhooked and prevent back pressure when hooking up. Bad design by JD to have female hyd ends facing up when unhooked to collect dirt and water .should be horizontal. Great vids.

[@justinpaone2227]

yep or put the quick connects on the lines (many don't have a plastic lever anyway) and the male ends with rubber caps on the tractor.

[@richfreedom6577]

I figured that was the case I just kind of thought it was funny about how if I talked about using the PPE and how you were talking about it not too long ago and then seeing you not using PPE thanks for responding back

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...well there's a time and a place for PPE....15 mins on a tractor at low idle....well I think we can do without....50 mins at 2000 rpm...better get that hearing protection on for sure!

[@ramonnieves8589]

Cool toys you got i lke the video about kubbota tractor i need that tractor my land is not that Big how much they run the kubbota thank you for you videos the puertican hillbilly 👍God bless your farm and your family 🙏

[@petermathwig8969]

Josh, I believe the valve is to lock the cylinder in place so when you relieve the pressure on the system (engine off) prior to disconnecting the hoses the loader doesn’t drop back down. Also after you hook them back up you’ll have to turn the valve open again after you plug the hoses back in.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks!...I think I'll try it to see if that holds the loader up

[@fooddude9921]

Love the ammo can idea!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Works great! That thing is full of tools and pins, rags and other goodies! I need 2 of them on each tractor!

[@davebruins8623]

Another great and informative video. You should make a "how to" series and sell them on amazon.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

lol...that would be funny...I am working on an "E-book" about raising chickens for your family

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks so much. Will keep ya posted on farm open house. Would love to have fences..cows and pigs first

[@austinsensenig9411]

Stoney Ridge Farmer absolutely, will be awesome to see when finished we raise hogs here at our farm in Illinois are expanding in the spring might utilize KZbin as well to show all we do

[@jerrysadler6100]

Show one on how to take the loader off , much better than the dealer told me when I got mine!!

[@ottobettcher7025]

Josh could you place a plastic bag over the hydraulic hook up to keep out water and dirt ?

[@jessegreco6818]

I love that tractor!

[@PeterbiltBoy359-Kyle]

Hey Josh I'm a new subscriber and I'm really loving your Channel I'm trying to get caught up to your new videos just ain't made it there yet talk to you soon buddy love what you're doing with the farm look really good can't wait to see more talk to you soon have a good day and be careful it snowing in Kentucky that's where I'm from Brooksville Ky you really have a nice place in North Carolina can't wait to meet you sometime looking forward to it

[@hartstudebakerkid]

If you welded up a couple stop blocks for your loader you could set it down against the stop blocks and then disconnect the hydraulic lines you need when you need rear hydraulics.

[@mikebenoit158]

Those ammo cans come in handy

[@kevinwhetham4590]

Josh look into getting u a power reverse trans John deere with a loader I have a 5100e and I love it

[@fooddude9921]

I think this is one area where JD outshines its competition - the ease of hooking / un-hooking implements.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I've never tried another tractor...the kubot looks pretty simple too...maybe I'll do that video next

[@FarmallFanatic]

Gadgets must be the word of the week. I used it in one of my videos too. Also, I've come to the realization that you don't have 50k subscribers 🤪. I've never been so wrong in all my life.

What type/brand of grease do you use for the grease fittings on the tractor/bucket/brush hog, etc?? Great video Josh!!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I just get the top grade grease from Tractor supply

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Good to see you use Tractor Supply.. that way we can keep getting checks in our mailbox.....

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

In regards to Grease, the best that I have found is chevron, if you stick your finger in it and pull your finger out of the grease you’ll see strings of grease following you it’s super sticky it’s by far the best that I have found otherwise grease is grease just grease all the time!!!!

[@jessegreco6818]

Josh, did you quit your day job and move out there? Curious to know the story and history. Would love to know how you did it, why, and all that. I totally get the why part.

[@Lucas_Terry]

curious have you ever taken a look at timeless fencing? Also if so what are your opinions?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I have not looked at timeless fencing

[@Mmercier942]

You have 6 line on the loader. So you have boom/bucket ( 4 lines ) and an auxiliary may be for a grapple. Do you have a switch on the Deere like the Kubota ? You could just plug your baler door on the 2 line of the auxiliary valve without having to remove the loader.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

So I have a switch to install on the tractor..it's a project coming soon this winter...I remove the loader because it's just easier to get out of the way...takes 2 seconds to remove it...baler is heavy..saves fuel when mowing and baling and raking

[@richfreedom6577]

Hey where is your hearing protection thanks for the video and thanks for the great tips

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Can't wear hearing protection and talk to the camera...tractor is at low idle...no hearing protection needed...don't worry I take care of my hearing for sure!

[@reltcl1995]

Can you show how you mounted the ammo box thanks

[@phillully4472]

Josh, your becoming quite the all around farmer/mechanical expert! your idea to put that ammo box on the 5065E as a tool box was very smart of you! but I'm wondering why your hydrolic connectors were filled with water?? don't the caps seal them good when not in use? hope you had a good Thanksgiving you and mrs. Stoneyridge.

[@petermavus4131]

Like the ammo can all you need now is a gun rake in case you see coyotes or a big buck

[@loriehabel1552]

Josh , I need one of those shirts for a flag or a sign for the chicken coop.😂😂 hows your apple hooch coming? Have a good week.

[@jGoodloejr]

"Come on Dod" lol love the dogs Josh!

[@stevebanjo197]

That value is a safety, when the loader is attached to tractor and your bucket is all the way up in the air, keeps the lift cylinders from drifting down

[@treeclimbing7798]

Josh, hope you sell plenty of hay bales.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Me too! That crusty old bale was from last fall...lessons learned...don't use sissil twine

[@justinpaone2227]

put whatever you can on FLOAT, makes hookup much easier.

[@RsmvTmoody1]

The valve is a lock so when you work under the loader there is no chance it will fall. The line it is hooked to is a return hydraulic line.

[@dylanmcdonald7765]

I still think that 50 cal ammo box was a awesome idea for a tool box!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Works great!

[@MrBest-mr2my]

Can you do a video explaining how you do the shifting and high low etc

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

John Deere offers an add on second valve and control for rear of tractor......It is shown in the 5 E series literature.... We have a 5075 M (cab) 240 loader and a 5045E (rollguard) 512 loader.. for loading 18 bale bundles in dry van trailers..... pressure on cylinders would hinder the connection process so a valve is installed to block pressure from connector Most Krone hay equip is similarly equipped

[@smoothbore4377]

I thing the whole "quick attach loader" thing, is a solution in search of a problem. I NEVER feel the need to REMOVE the loader, on any of my tractors. The only tractor I have that DOESN'T have a loader, is a 18 hp Yanmar mower, ... and I'm thinking about putting one on there too.

[@kfstreich4787]

In tight situations it is handy and I used to mow for hire, it was nice to take 1500# off the front end, and in winter the extra weight on the front tires tears the ground up. I'd prefer 2 or 15 tractors, I had one really nice one...

[@mikebenoit158]

Is that valve a bleeder not sure my self

[@4x4Moses]

Please show us how that ammo can is attached to the loader arm.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

two bolts...it's on a tool box mount that had the old plastic tool box...two bolts out...two holes drilled...two bolts in...very simple

[@engir63]

I would think the valve is emergency or quick bleed off and a way to purge the system??

[@mikebenoit158]

You have to get a pair of JOY CAM VIDEO SUNGLASSES

[@laynethomas7496]

The valve is to turn the loader on and off

[@maxwellknapp9994]

The hose with the valve if for your 3rd function

[@kevingreen920]

How about installing the the protective caps ?

[@mattryan2536]

Maybe its an isolation valve. So you can attach and remove the quick release. MAYBE

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Lots of other comments about that valve too..some good ideas

[@craignash4736]

Josh .. I didn’t mean this one I made a good comment on your making cider..

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Ok buddy sounds good

[@Malakie]

Hi, What breed are your dogs? My german shepherd K9, the one in my avatar photo in fact, died 01 APR 2018. Her loss was big for me. Anyhow, I am ready to find a new companion and am looking for something a bit smaller than she was. Belgian Mal is one option but they are expensive as hell and as a disabled Veteran now, can't really afford the price they come in at (another reason I probably cannot get another pure bred shepherd). Yours look like they have shepherd in them but something else as well so am wondering what breed they are to see if I can perhaps locate something similar.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Both are GSD...we plan to breed them in the spring...pups are about $1200 though....that's what we paid for them

[@Bammsaidthelady]

looks to me like that valve is just a lock. When the valve is parallel to the hose its open and when its perpendicular its locked. We have similar ones on our implements. They just lock the pressure in the hoses. They are particularly handy on air seeders when you're moving down the road the cultivator wont drop if the valve is locked...unless the hose leaks. I'm probably the 15th person to answer this lol.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Cool thanks for the info!

[@chrise4994]

Goats now have s jumping off point at the fence. Hehe.

[@mikebenoit158]

You can buy some at TRACTOR SUPPLY

[@aaronsmith5620]

That value on that on hydraulic line cuts off flow to the loader

[@lonzosatterfield7904]

What happened to your older rooster

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Soup!

[@smoothbore4377]

The simple solution to "sharing" a hydraulic remote for when you bale, is to put a "T" in the loader circuit that controls the tilt on the bucket. Yes, the bucket will roll when you operate the baler door, ... but, ... so what ?

[@BeastMortThe]

So in a nutshell at the end with the bale of hay... goat stew or no goat stew : )

[@dmorgan28]

👍👍👍❤️

[@w9driverby]

That valve is a hydraulic lock. Without it, your loader would most likely be sitting on the ground.

[@mikebenoit158]

You can get them on Amazon

Green paint solution- throw money at it. Idk what jd puts in that paint that makes everything its on so expensive.

[@kfstreich4787]

Murika. That's what does it.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I'd say this simply...we bought a John Deere because it was less expensive, ran smoother, drove nicer, had a bigger more comfy operator station and overall seemed to be the best bang for our buck...as for parts and service...JD has 4 places I can go for parts and service withing 1/2 hour...NONE OF THE OTHER MANUFACTURERS CAN MATCH THAT... I'm not addicted to "green paint" but I do like that I can get parts easily and JD has taken pretty good care of me..don't care about the paint...if the machine get's the job done

[@kfstreich4787]

Interesting, I got the primary orange tractor new, at the time comparable green easy Japanese built pretending to be American made for 25% more

[@Bojangles6]

Ive made alot of money as a repair welder because replacement parts can be outrageous. I dont deny that they have alot of dealerships and most are well stocked and overall good. They also definitely have some good products. But it also costs alot of overhead to stock that stuff and keep making those parts. I dont think cost of ownership is any better than any other brand in the long run. My $8000 loader tractor is nothing fancy, but it does the same work. Yeah, new and easy is nice, id just rather spend money elsewhere.

[@petercresswell9517]

That hay looks past its best I guess the goats will eat anything

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

[@rainowl1]

Turn it off.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Yep...I don't start and stop my tractor over and over...for the sake of battery and starter...once she's running she's on for the duration

[@kfstreich4787]

Hey Josh, if you keep making that face it'll stay that way!

[@kfstreich4787]

I used to turn the tractor off and run the joystick through all positions a couple times before connecting the hydraulic lines, you bleed off all the pressure and make connecting easier, sometimes they would put up a real fight. Can you remove all the connections and place the males on the base facing up? It seems a bit backwards to have the females there. Even using caps the dirt and water still seem to find a way in.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

I agree 100%....sometimes you're at the mercy of the manufacturer

[@kfstreich4787]

The pipe threads on either end may be the same allowing you to swap ends if you do this often
