Hi Wes, Thanks for the great video :-). Here in Ireland there is a company that makes air compressors that fit on either front or back of a tractors PTO shaft . Many benefits. Namely fuel , space , transport and having access to air anywhere in the field . Maybe you have this type of unit in the states Wes !? All the best and safe working . :-)

Wish my dad had that wherewithal to not run our hedgecutter minus a flail ignoring the small blocks they weld on it to balance it which screwed the bearing and shaft. After getting the price for a new head and one for a complete new cutter he decided to run it until it shook itself to death it which took about 6 to 8 years was was noisy and headache inducing but taught him a valuable lesson not to run it without a flail

We bale ALOT of stalks where we live in Iowa. 20% moisture is very wet for stalks. They are going to heat. We generally let them dry 4-5 days after combining. For mulch you will be fine with them keeping, but they would never work for bedding. The slabs would be like concrete. Also I'm surprised your knotters were working. If I try to bale green stalks the needles pull them into the knotters and I misstie all day long.

Really need to have your injectors checked or rebuilt. Black smoke can be related to bad injectors even though the engine runs fine.. The injectors could may not be atomizing the fuel properly and could lead to engine damage. Really a cheap preventive measure and could actually save you money in fuel savings. Bad injectors waste fuel and fuel is money.

Wes, have you looked into a switch blade turbo for any of the tractors? Could help with the black smoke. Jpaydirt swears by them.
@lawrencelacenski97814 жыл бұрын
NoC yes sir Jpaydirt loves the switchblade turbo made by blaylock turbo in Baxter springs Kansas. He said that the switchblade turbo has doubled the oil life and I am not positive but I believe that he was also able to turn down the fuel and adjust the air fuel rate using less fuel without sacrificing power. The switchblade turbo also almost eliminates turbo lag. Check it out on KZbin Jpaydirt switchblade turbo
@lawrencelacenski97814 жыл бұрын
NoC one of the negative issues might be the possibility that he might to change or have a custom exhaust manifold maybe unless blaylock would design a bolt in replacement for the 4960. According to Mr Jpaydirt Jim blaylock is an awesome guy a real turbo nut willing to work with anyone. I think that he would work with Wes just fine because Wes is also a very knowledgeable guy
@michaelbrown85454 жыл бұрын
@@lawrencelacenski9781 he did not turn down the fuel. He adjusted the air fuel ratio control which controls the speed of the rack opening so the fuel being injected matches the air volume. Less black smoke = less unburnt fuel = cleaner oil. Otherwise you are absolutly correct. Also keep in mind that the engines Jpaydirt runs in the old B scrapers and H dozer are 30 to 50 years old the diesel tech is very basic, the C15 in his Kenny is much more current and also responded well to the switch blade over the compound boost turbos. Cheers mate 🍻
@lawrencelacenski97814 жыл бұрын
Michael Brown thanks for the correction sir it’s been a while since I’ve watched the switchblade turbo series. That 4960 is almost 30 years old so if Wes wanted to put one on I think that it should be fairly simple because I am fairly certain that the engine is mostly mechanically controlled out of possibly a electronic fuel shut off
