Bill tells about breaking and fixing the silage cutter in a hurry, using parts from an unlikely donor. Then, much later, removing the old parts before scraping.

Chopped 100’s of acres with a NH 717 and that same 1 row cornhead. Did a lot of custom silo filling for a few yrs along with filling our own silos.

Thanks for sharing the video. Yes sir motivation by not having something done for your Dad or Grandpa can get you to do a whole lot. That old hay loader came in for you. Take care and stay safe out there working.

If I could only get my Wife to understand, (It's Why I keep the old equipment around on the farm in the woods or fence rows, sometime parts are parts. Does not matter who made the part, if a farmer has a welder, torch and a can-do attitude on the weekend we'll be up and running either the same day or the next morning! All Equipment Manufactures started out as Farmers, either rebuilding or making their own Ideas happen. I've fixed a lot of equipment with Green-on-Red or Yellow-On-Green or Yellow-on-Red, it doesn't matter who built it, just takes a minute to look at the part and come up with an on the farm fix!

Perfect case of never throw anything away-----may need it one of these days or decades. I think all our Dads were like yours they expected a lot out of us, great story about the sprocket and clever fix did you think about going around to neighbor farmers to beg borrow or steal a sprocket especially after they heard your story LOL

What's the back story on the 3150. How long has it been on the farm?
@so.md.dirtfarmer22269 ай бұрын
We've had it about 22 years. Bought it so Dad could be in air conditioning when baling hay and straw.
