Real life adventures on a small farm in Northeast Ohio.
Brake disassembly on the John Deere 4420 combine
The brakes on the 4420 combine just quit working! Plus they were making a pretty bad grinding noise in reverse. My best guess is that the brakes need to be replaced.

PSA: Check Your Chains!
มุมมอง 2202 หลายเดือนก่อน
Coming home from the bridge crossing, we made a stop for fuel . When I got back from using the restroom, I noticed that Kris's tractor was not on the trailer straight. Turns out that one of the chains had come unhooked allowing the tractor to start sliding sideways on the trailer. I don't know how many more miles before something really bad would have happened, but I think we avoided a real dis...
Crossing the Mighty Mac 2024
มุมมอง 2033 หลายเดือนก่อน
With last year's crossing being cancelled due to construction on the bridge, Kris and I were very excited to travel up north this year to once again cross the Mackinac Bridge on our tractors! Kris drives a Ford 8N painted purple to honor her dad who passed from pancreatic cancer. I drive the John Deere 2840 that does so much of the work around the farm. Thanks for watching!

Here is the rest of the putting a new deck on the gooseneck trailer. As usual with most of my projects, there is a fair amount of trial and error and grunting and groaning. as always, thanks for watching!
New deck for the gooseneck part 1

The deck of the gooseneck trailer is pretty rotten. In fact, a tractor I was hauling broke through a couple of the boards! Not very safe! This video is about prepping the new boards that will become the new deck. Thanks for watching!
4th of July and how we got there

People always ask me the same question when I plant corn: Is it gonna make knee high by the 4th of July? We'll answer that and kinda sorta show you all how we got there! Thanks for watching!

It took me awhile, but here is part 2 of building the run-in shelter! Here is where I finish up the framing and put the siding and roof on it.
Building a run in shelter

The grass is growing and it is time to put the calves outside for the summer. Only problem is that Kris says that they need a shelter to protect them out there. I just happen to have a bunch of lumber that I'm not using anywhere else, SOOOO..... Here I go building a shelter for the calves!
A sprocket for the spreader
มุมมอง 1187 หลายเดือนก่อน
I know. I KNOW! This manure spreader is taking a long time to get done. Hey, at least I'm making some progress on it! Doing the best I can with what I got. Boy, do I need to get caught up on these videos. Thanks for watching!
Coulters from one plow to another

Pulling the coulters off the John Deere chisel for installation on the Massey Ferguson roll over plow at a later date.
Back to the manure spreader
มุมมอง 1389 หลายเดือนก่อน
It has been a little while since I started on the New Holland manure spreader by installing a new conveyer web and fixing up the PTO shaft. When one of the drive sprockets for the web broke, I put it aside for awhile. Well, spring is coming and I'm gonna need that thing so I better get to finishing it up!
New coulters for the plow
มุมมอง 2489 หลายเดือนก่อน
OK. I may or may not have picked up a 3 bottom Massy Ferguson roll over plow a few weeks ago at a consignment auction. Let's just say I did but it did not have coulters and since I plan to use it to plow sod so I don't leave dead furrows...I need coulters!
Picking up a new to us tool for the farm
มุมมอง 52010 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was going to try to keep it a secret a little longer, but Kris let the cat out of the bag. I bought a "new" combine and this is us going to pick it up and drive it home from Tiffin. It's 54 miles to Spencer. Ten miles per hour. That is all.

Another installment of corn harvest for 2023. No breakdowns...which is nice!
Corn harvest 2023 part 2
มุมมอง 1.8Kปีที่แล้ว
Harvest 2023 is going slow due to rain and mud conditions. Patience is truly a virtue and I just have to wait it out. Luckily, I got a little bit of a window and was able to get some of the corn crop in.
Hey Bob,,good to see ya!! Thought maybe ya gave up,,lol. Persistence pays off. Hop ya had a relaxing, Merry Christmas.
@@ronzezulka6646 Hey Ron! Good to see you still around! Merry Christmas to you too! And a happy New Year!
Look forward to the rest of this project. I have one side of the brakes on my 4400 that do not work. At least I know where the brakes are at now..
@@chrisjudge31 coming in a dot or two. Just have to take the time to edit the footage. Thanks for watching!
ADVICE ID GIVE IS TO MOVE THE REEL AS FAR BACK AS YOU CAN JUST MAKE SURE ITS BOUT 2 INCHS FROMS AUGER TEETH
Thanks for the advice! I'll keep it in mind for next year's harvest. Also, thanks for watching!
@BobontheFarmOhio yes love the videos! Hope everything is well!
Wanna be farmer. You don't have the "huge money " it takes to survive in agriculture these days. Sad I salute what you are trying to do. But it wouldn't make it. But good luck to you.
@@royharmon8846 not to worry, Roy! I can farm the way I am until I'm too old to do it anymore. As long as you stay out of debt, it's not that hard. Thanks for watching!
I’ll bet you had some comments about wearing a OSU shirt to “that state up north”. You dodged a disaster with the loosened chains. Good catch! Kubota dealer laughed at the tension of my chains holding my tractor down. I’d rather be safe than sorry.
I almost always "OH" when I am traveling, LOL. I check chains every time I stop. Thankfully, nothing bad happened. Could have been real bad.
Could make a pair of small ramps out of scrap 2" thick boards.
That would do the trick! We used that method the last time we made the bridge trip and swince it had been 2 years, I forgot about it. Thanks for watching!
Use heated Lincoln 7018 LH welding rod uphill . Take the mill scale off the pockets . Practice makes perfect with welding ! It was not necessary to well the pockets to the beam flanges . . Good Job !
@@vicpetrishak7705 Thanks for the advice! I find that life is a learning opportunity if you pay attention. Anyways, thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this experience. Are you crossing the bridge next Saturday, September 7th? I would love to make this crossing in the very near future. Looks like a lot of fun and such beautiful scenery. 🚜 👍
@tractorhyatt7044 we are heading up there on Thursday. Look us up. We are in the Heritage Farmers club and we will be the ones leading the Mackinac City parade. I'm driving the John Deere 2840 that is in a fair number of my videos and Kris is once again driving the Purple Ford 8N. It's one of our favorite activities.
@@BobontheFarmOhio My wife and I visited Mackinac Island a couple weeks ago, now back in Florida. Won't be at bridge crossing next week, but it's on my bucket list. I just subscribed to your channel so I can see if you have any updates from next weekend's crossing. Enjoyed watching your '21 and '22 bridge crossing videos. 🚜👍
Ja mam JD 2140, pozdrawiam z Polski.
Lol, I’m going to make you some saw horses. The ones that don’t eat hay. Maybe when the power gets back on in northern OH.
@pjment4826 Dude, I'll them! I already have a couple but a couple more wouldn't hurt! Hope your power comes on soon. Thanks for watching!
Bob, Make sure the trailer is solid. I may need you to haul my mini excavator next year. Paul
How much hp does your tractor have ? Or what the smallest tractor you think that mower would need ?
@@DennisZook everything I have seen says that the 5209 needs about 65 pto hp. My 2840 is rated about 81 pto hp. A little extra power is never a bad thing. Just ask Tim the Tool Man! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Hey Bob,,good to see ya. Was beginning to wonder,,lol. Crops are looking good.
Thanks Ron! Always good to see you here!
how about we dooooo THIS...🤣great video:)
Hey Bob,,good to see ya. Project coming along nicely. How's the field work coming along?
@ronzezulka6646 Hey Ron,
The shelter turned out nice. Field work is pretty much done and all crops are growing. I have quite a bit of footage of most of it. I think I will do a compilation of everything. I'm glad to see ya out there!
If used this machine and tried cutting hay at 20 miles per hour..... does just as good of a job as slower ! Except.....the problem is slowing to make the turns ! Heres me cutting hay at 20 miles per hour at 0:46 th-cam.com/video/5O6dI-TEB3c/w-d-xo.html
Question...why cut empty on the ends ? Not a waste of time ? Unless chopping.... I always go around the field...not back and forth.
You do know that the steal bar that you have your hydraulic hoses tied to is meant for cradling the PTO ? So the end dont get plugged full of dirt. Its heavy ! Yours isnt on correctly
Been able to get in the fields at all? Dodging rain in Wisconsin.
Hey Bob,,,it's pk it takes a few days to make a complete video. Takes me a couple days to watch sometimes. I enjoy your calm,relaxed, no drama approach to a jb. You'll get it all done.
Cant beat Dewalt tools.
Yeah Man!
And Chevy trucks Bob! LOL
Hey Bob,,good to see ya. I see yer staying busy,,lol.
Thanks Ron. I have so many little things to do that I don't know what to do first.
where did you buy the adapter that went from 1" square to the 1 3/8 6 spline?
That is just a small spline to standard spline pto adapter. Frpm there I just ground the shaft down until it fit. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting up the videos of the bridge crossing. I'll be going up there and participating for the first time this year (2024). I'll be driving my Ford Jubilee across and it was cool to see you guys taking a couple of Fords across the bridge on this trip.
Hey Bob,,checking in. Getting some tillage done?
Where did you ger your pockets, custom? Nice work
I had them fabbed at a local welding shop. They were amazing! I told them what I wanted and an hour later they were done! Thanks for watching!
Nothing worse than welding live parts,,lol
Hey Bob,,good to see ya. Stay after it,,always a new adventure.
1000😮
Woo Hoo! You da man!!!
great vide just subbed. almost 1k
Hey! I'm glad you liked the video! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!
Hey Bob,,,checking in. Hows the plow project coming along?
Hi Ron, Kinda in to another project right now so the plow is on the back burner at the moment. I should have a couple or three new things to show pretty soon.
@@BobontheFarmOhio I'll be waiting. Stay safe.
Show me how the Spark plugs are wires
Sorry, Darrick. I don't have that tractor anymore. Thanks for watching, though!
Yup,,,bust out the flame wrench.
Hey Bob,,good to see ya!! Gope all is well and drying down. Werre getting close to fresh dirt here in west central Wisconsin. Looking forward to the roll over plow footage.
Papa's you are much help because of you I wouldn't know what to do
I hope it helped. Thanks for watching!
Bob was that a cow I Heard in the background?? I didn't know you had cows
Yes sir! We raise a couple of beefers for our own freezer and sell to friends too. Thanks for watching!
سلام من ایرانی هستم تراکتور ۴۰۲۰ داشتیم ویک ۴۲۳۰هردو تایرهای ان را میبوسم ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
First thing im thinking is the sprocket isn't going to move.
Hey Bob,,good to see ya. Nope,,,no plow sightings.
I had footage of it, but I can't seem to locate it on my computer. Darned computers anyway. Next video will feature the new plow! Thanks for sayin' hey, by the way.
@BobontheFarmOhio Anytime,,looking forward to the elusive plow sighting,,,lol
You just need to use a bigger hammer! 😂
I couldn't find it!
I love your place/farm! :)
Thank you!
Is that a open station 2640? You got .
You are very close! It is a 2840. Thanks for watching!
Hey Bob,,checking in. How's things going? Preparing for spring tillage? Were seriously up and down here in Wisconsin.
Hey there Ron, our ground is way too wet to even consider tillage yet. I'm sure that things will happen when they need to though.
13:26 I haven’t seen someone do that and this is a creative idea I love it Minnesota. Elgin
I was in a silly mood that day! Thanks for watching!
sounds great!Really liked this series!:)
I think it was the first cornhead you repaired....but I bet it wasnt the first tractor...right?:)
delusions of grandure....🤣🤣

Love your little shop!🙂 Was it there when you moved in?
I gotta admit...you got a bunch of fancy tools!But you still did a great job!:)
