Mike, an off-topic question but do you know IF Wolfe Ridge carries parts to build log lifts for splitters ? I want to add a lift on my splitter, if not I will just build 1. Thank You, Tim. PS, Since I am a farmer, the right tool for that job would have been a cultipacker.

[@clint5919]

So much for the theory of the rake eliminating the squeak.......LOL......Just take it back to the manufacturer and while they are fixing the squeak, they can fix the sticker on the side that's driving ya nuts too......

[@richardwest-q8w]

Grain is normally sold by volume (bushel). 1 Bushel = 1 Cubic Foot. Dry grains normally weigh around 50# per bushel. Of course, the actual weight for a bushel of dry grain varies based on the type of grain, moisture content, and many other factors. If you ask for a 50# sack of a specific grain, the proprietor just gives you a bushel, without any commentary.

[@Shippusher]

[@rogeremberson6464]

Here in the UK, 112 lbs equals 1 cwt (hundredweight), therefor 56 lbs is half a cwt. Twenty cwt equals 1 ton. Thankfully we haven't gone fully metric yet.

[@JosephForgione]

I’ve noticed that your carpentry skills include neatness and accuracy. The interior of the cabin looks great. It’s true that keeping an eye on weather forecasts does help with planning outdoor activities. Typically the Western New York/ Pennsylvania weather reaches Northern New York/Vermont approximately 8 hours later.

[@dannico58]

maybe the seed is bagged by the kilograms, 25 kilograms = 55.1156 pounds

Today is Sunday Sept 29 2024, much of the nation can not get to the eastern USA. The hurricane destroyed many paths in east TN and western NC. Franklin Graham put out a request for help for Samaritan's Purse, I would wish to go to NC as I have son east of the worse area, but I can not get there by any routes I know. Probably do a donation, I will have to study if I can get there.

Hi Mike really like your channel. If I'm right the 56 pounds per bag is the same as bushel of rye.

I was just up at my farm and realized I have a cultipacker I never use anymore stored up there. I'm not sure if you purchased one yet but I'm in NW PA. It's a Field Tough 72" I bought from Northern Tool. It's about 4 years old and I've used it maybe 3 times. I've gone completely away from tilling. Just got tired of dealing with weeds and dry powdered dirt. Anyway, if you're interested let me know. $550 and it's yours. New are $1100. I can send photos.

Great video, strong work. Excited to see the finished product on the field. I loved my harrow when we lived in Washington State. I have a new nickname for you, please done take offense. Just joshing. When I was little I was called “Mini Pearl” for two reasons. My grandmother Susie Pearl Hatfield AND because I wouldn’t let my mom take the tags off my clothes. I saw the tag on your power rake, so you are “Mini Earl”. 😁😉 (quite wet here in Tennessee, after months of no rain).

[@notradeslodge4235]

Mike I enjoy watching your channel, you go through a lot of equipment and attachments. Have you ever looked into the reverse tillers? From what I've researched on them they actually bury all rocks and stones. Also I've started about 5-8 years ago on food plots on our property. Learning things every year I do it. I've stumbled along a seed company that I think is outstanding and want to share. Crooked Blend, Check th out you won't be disappointed and or go broke.

Mike, that squeak would push me over the edge!!! 😂 The dirtier it got, the more it squeeked! There has to be a pump of somekind under the hood with a belt. You never pop the hood to rinse that off.

[@wolfpack4128]

Those drags are heavy-duty. Problem I've had is sometimes they move seed around and clump it in one area and pull all the seed from others. Looks like yours did well for you here, though. With that rain we got the last week, my brassicas exploded. I have bulbs like softballs and leaves over knee high.

I believe you can get a pounding press attachment for the front of your loader or tractor what it does is it pounds as you go along so you can drive it right through your field and pound it down or use it to pound your driveway materials one more thing you wrote and said thatJohn Deere tractors is not being produced outside of the country. You were dead wrong about that. They’re being produced in Mexico and the Chinese are supplying arts. I believe the engine as well. Check it out.

I used to pick up the nuts with one of those tools. We have walnuts, hickory, and acorns in the 1.3 acres I mow. I had 3 of the tools in case I could get help. They came with a piece of bent wire that that fit on a 5 gallon bucket and made emptying the tool easy. It eventually got to be too much so I just mow over them. I tell people thans how I clean the heck on my mower. I use my land scape rake on the beach. My neighbor follows up with a drag harrow. He would lift it up to get all the junk out. He now uses a 3 point mounted dethatcher from Good Works Tractor. I am looking for a good deal on the frame mounted harrow that can be lifted with the 3 point.

Hi mate, not trying to tell you what to do, but if you want all the rocks and debris move from your property, you should try pre-hooks in back of your tractor.

56 pounds is equal to one bushel of rye. It does depend on the commodity being weighed as to how much equals a bushel but Rye is 56 pounds.

Im no expert but our oak does same thing. I believe the little bitty nuts falling early are the tree's way of getting rid of extra nuts ....too many to grow in a pod. Ours grow in pods on the outter ends of the branches.

Maybe use the excavator to tap on different areas of the tree to get more of the acorns to fall and be cleaned up at the same time, less times. Put them in piles somewhere to give the deer a nutritious, easier food source so they can give the grass seed a better chance to grow.
