No matter how old you are, when your Dad is around, he will always give you a hand and help you. Love the way you pause during the intro for the chickens. 👍

[@carlstout4546]

Yaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my experience was cars and Big trucks some farm but once those yokes get bent its just trouble on-going Listen to your Dad he's plenty smart with a lot of experience your just real smart getting lots of experience love ya ! Oh and congratulations to your Husband I know that is a lot of work, tough field.

[@robertlafollette8931]

Glad you can share dust with us. God Bless.

[@billhooker3006]

Hat's off to you and dad.

[@jonathanshrewsberry8507]

Really enjoy all your videos. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful day!❤️

[@ericbeightol3214]

I'm glad to hear you have several mentors to guide and help you. Congrats AJ!

[@robertpsieving4401]

Wow 85 & 90 degrees. Come to Ohio. We've had a day in the 70's here & there. Most days don't even hit 60. In fact there is a snow skiing resort down the road from our farm. Not all of the snow has even melted yet

[@jacknevitt7384]

I’m glad you powered through and got it done. I think that’s one of the greatest qualities a good farmer has; persistence! If PA’s in California are like the PA’s in Georgia, then it’s a wonderful profession, a doctor without the ego - congratulations to AJ! Keep up the great work and videos.

I stopped caffeine at the beginning of the Covid stuff because I was really anxious and it's made a huge difference. I haven't noticed me getting anxious as bad as before.

[@aymanalan8435]

Basically this video is about your tractor problems and how you fix it

[@caljay1000]

Memories of growing up in Lodi, home was surrounded by grape fields.. sulphur was applied by aircraft.. covered us and the house.

🤣🤣🤣 I let my dad know that people need info haha

[@kennethpwhritenour2701]

So happy it is working

[@nathan2813]

Tara, OMG I was SO immersed in your struggle, my eyes started tearing! (I must have been imagining getting sulfur dust in my eyes!) ;o) This happened both after you continued enduring chronic problems and again when you finally started making progress with a neighbor's rig! (It was SO nice of him to let you use it!) :o)

[@dowdawg]

One of the oldest tricks in the book if you want your junkie equipment fixed, loan it out to responsible person LOL. That’s happened to me before

Hey, I know where you are ! Been there, Of coarse it has been 19 years ago, But I have seen all those wind mills. That was quite the site when there is Not one Wind Mill in Florida.

[@rrobertomondo5173]

Tara, so nice to see you happy. You're an amazing person.

[@Arcadia_Olive-Oil_Farms]

Yeah and the borrowed tractor has the Blue Cab gen 4 I think with the pressurised cabin which is awesome!! you do not need any protection inside the tractor!!!

[@markdoherty3718]

Yahhhhh!!!! Congratulations on getting it to work. Baby steps, stay positive!

[@smengine]

Those ends that the U joints are in are called Yokes

[@tnsman40]

I suggest you get a Rear’s Pak Blaster. Great farm family owned business for three generations.

[@MineCreatores]

Normally owners with tight orchard farms take them out because they brake and get in the way of making end row turns. But the tractor come with them from factory

[@marksteagall5124]

[@tonyburelle6633]

That was a good outcome, after many problems, good work, way to keep pushing on, so great your dad is there with knowledge and assistance, great video

[@aaronskinner7605]

Great video. Glad you were able to get some dusting done. Hopefully you will be able to fix the other duster or you are able to get a new one. Keep up the great work and God bless.

Hey Tara!👋 congrats its finally working 4 u! 😁❤👍

[@jamessparrow6549]

Fresh day. Every day a learning day.

[@jamessparrow6549]

Chin up. Keep carm and carry on. You will learn more fixing something pto shafts are a twat and always fidly not the best job ya dad will have been streesed with them. Been there done that only takes one or two needles to move in cup and screws you up a end up buying two more just in case.

[@gungadin6889]

What a wonderful smile when a rooster crows, sign of a chicken farmer Late nights? Think sheep farmer lambing at 2AM pulling stuck lambs from the uterus. Lots of live blatting wet curly lambs and happy momma ewes. Glad to hear you're doing organic wine grapes.

End of this episode of "ghost duster " to be continued.

[@jonathanprimmer7642]

Your doing well 👍

[@richardmckee4376]

glad you got things working for ya as far as the other machine l would rent one and fix the broke one when i had the time to work on it your doing great i enjoy watching when i can

[@pierregodin1668]

When installing U joint bearing you want to use a vice not a hammer to insert the bearing cup because with a hammer you can easily pop a needle bearing out of it spot and damage the hole thing. What i do, is use a vice to push smoothly the bearing cup into the u-joint and this gives me complet control on the depth i insert the cups.Now to push the cups into position i use a socket of the correct size in the vice jaws.Once the snap rings are in place i will then use a hammer and tap the yoke to loossen the bearing cups to the proper setting position against the snap ring. This way the U-joint somme loose and operates properly, if the joint is stiff i will use a punch to open or close the yoke and free the bearing pressure .

[@jankotze1959]

Very nice video

[@davidschlecht3016]

Victory feels great when you finally suceed,i know where your comming from sulfur is dusty and as you say smells bad so here's to success!🍇

[@davidpoynter6546]

Tara, what is the RPM’s on shaft? High speed coupling shafts can increase vibration or self destruct if it binds up in anyway. Please be safe if you feel it’s not going to perform properly.

[@DavidD-qr2vn]

U-joints can be a PITA, especially when a cross breaks and bends the yoke. Hang in there.

[@davereynolds6145]

I feel your pain with the duster, it really may pay to get a new one, not only to get the job done but to keep your sanity! Good luck!

[@tajvinderjohal3821]

I would recommend a d&m sulfur duster. We have been running those for years. Gear more is very cheaply built.

[@shaneomack5018]

I’m tara ( bo with the shout out ) from Northern California hahaha awesome

[@deanrichardson450]

U joints, I used a hammer one time. Pressed on joints need to be repressed on. Am interested in the price of your new duster. It seems to be a very important piece of equipment. love your show.

[@matthew_beal1228]

You should try spraying the vines instead of dusting them so you can add in fertilisers as well as sulphur to boost your crop

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

The dust is sprayed on the berries to help prevent powdery mildew. Fertilizer will be applied through my irrigation line

[@robertpowell2746]

Tara I know you already know this but when life gives you lemons make lemonade glad everything turned out super, be healthy be safe and get some sleep.

[@mouscj3]

Congrats... On finally getting some Dusting Work done... Have you already Pre Purchased your Bags of "Dust" for a cheap price and stored them in a dry non humid storage area on the farm or at your house... Has your tractor dealer given you any reasons yet why your tractor hydraulics are screwing up... Have you already been pricing a Duster like the really nice functioning one you showed us in this video... That first duster i'm sorry to say has seen lots more way better days i'm afraid cause it looks to be quite old and worn out... Good luck with dusting the rest of your vineyard, and also purchasing a Duster like the nice one you were lucky enough to use in your vineyard... Thanx for sharing...

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Your rooster has a good set of Lungs on him. I aways enjoy a goos crower. We used to just heat the ujoin up with the torch and it pop right apart. I sure you have it all under control.. Just keep at it.... Never give up. Give 110% each and everyday!!!!!

[@jlytollis4]

I think it would be better to buy a new duster. As you will use it every year and having your own you will know how it works and knowing its serve history. Great vid and brilliant content.👍👍🇬🇧

[@kennethadam5107]

Good job. !!! If having problems with something / working on something.. Sometimes you have to get away from it for a little while, take a few deep breaths - maybe walk around a little... To regroup.,... Clear your head..... Then get back at it. :-). Hopefully the regrouping would have straighten things out... Usually does actually.. ... :-). Good luck. !!

[@twa77]

That’s farming always a challenge

[@bfd1565]

You're a farmer now. You no longer have a bed time. Getter done!!!

[@danmeyer5737]

I don't know the first thing about dusting, but I think I would try to buy a new duster since it sounds like an important step in good production. Also, ten trips is alot to do and reliable equipment is important. Just my opinion.....

[@hfff1]

Tara, what a great update. Glad you were able to leave your stress behind long enough to recognize AJs' achievement. The application went much better with a duster that didn't arrive on the Mayflower.(Sorry mentor lender) I love seeing you work with your Dad, he is a gold mine of knowledge. You need to mic him up! Probably not. You mentioned that you ran at a lower speed. Did you adjust the duster or is there a little flex in the application rate? Are you seeing a phytotoxic reaction to the first day of dusting? Get those center rows smoothed out and you may not need a new seat. How else can I try to micro manage you? Thanks for putting up with my crap.

[@jacksak]

Very good video... I'll be drinking your wine in a few years. Thanks from rural New Hampshire, "Live Free Or Die", the official motto of the state of New Hampshire, adopted in 1945 and on our license plates and state emblems.

Do you have to redust if it happens to rain?

[@bigfootbubba1425]

5:26 The trick to changing U-Joints heat. If you do it right the grease in the caps will just pop them out....Then just use ratchet sockets and a vice to reinstall... super simple. Heat the knuckle/yoke part of the of the collar first so it expands to release the U-Joint caps. Then heat the piss out of the joint and caps and that should do it,,,,,,,,pop. If the pin bearings are too damaged and the grease is not there...... force grease into the cap... tape the gap so the grease can pop the cap out and then burn it till Satan winces, or it goes pop. True story.. I pulled the drive shaft off an old as dirt Box Truck, it had to weigh 80 lb,s. I used heat but the caps would not pop. I got a piece of wood and was going for a hammer then decided to put it on the work bench. I knocked errything out of the way and picked the heavy thing up to the bench,,,, Stay!! I went for my hammer and touched the hot part of the shaft, it rolled off the bench and both caps exploded when it hit the floor.. nice. The next shaft I did I just dropped after heating, and it came apart too... That drop trick never worked again, and tried it every-time if the caps did not pop, but 99% of the time they do.

What does the sulfur dust do for the plants

[@buckeyefarmboy107]

Oh powdery mildew control 😜

[@tinkerinbruce6560]

Ah yes metric cross and U joint! They are always a pain.

How you lucked out getting to borrow the same model tractor, i want to guess it might be a newer model yr than yours?

[@davemclelland9292]

We spray sulphur..... not sure if dusting is better for your climate?

[@adeereplowboy]

Why dust and not regular pelletized fertilizer?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Dusting helps prevent powdery mildew. And when the fertilizer is put through the drip I know it’s going right to the roots.

[@rodneywroten2994]

Once a week for ten weeks I don't think the older duster will hold up that long. Must be a lot of money in grapes? May I ask what kind of grapes is this? Is it for wine making only. I am not smart when it comes to grapes.

[@davidj.kester7979]

I think you need that brand...lol

[@johnnysalazar1552]

All i wsnted to know wad about the dusting

[@robhakeman5873]

You should always wear rubber gloves when you get out of your tractor and handle chemicals. You got out to check the sulfur dust and got in your tractor and opened up a monster energy and didn't wash your hands nor did you wear rubber gloves. Thats a no no its to prevent future problems down the road.

[@myronparks3495]

Is sulphur dusting a timely process? Like if you dust on a Monday you have to keep your schedule the same?

[@TaraBeaverCoronado]

Yes! So whatever day of the week I choose I need to ideally do it that same day every week

[@myronparks3495]

@@TaraBeaverCoronado so you pray the day before you dust that it doesn't rain.

[@pierregodin1668]

When you use or operate a new piece of equipment (old or new) do you take the time to read the operators manual and familiarize yourself with all the adjustments and the trouble shooting section in the operators manual. It could solve a lot of guess work for you. If the manual is not with the equipment i am sure you can find it on the net. Having worked at JD and NH dealers as a mechanic i have seen many tractors coming back 15 yrs latter and find the operators manual still in the plastic wrap behind the seat compartment .I have also seen many complaints against the equipment that would of been solve if only they would have red the operators manual. I have often heard customers saying that they have been operating the machine for 10yrs bla bla bla and to inform them that they were doing it the wrong way. Got the book out of its new plastic wrapping and opened it to the info that was missing for 10yrs. It is very important to take the time and read the manual completely before using it and also the trouble shooting section that is usually at the end of the book. It can solve a lot of frustrating days, and go back to it when you have a problem.
