Need to keep camera on what you are doing
Sharpen it. I used to work on them.
Good lord I have never seen so many axles on a trailer before aside from the ones they used to bring in new turbines for the local power plant.
Hears a solution to that since your a farmer, put in a second driveway so he can just pull in go around and then pull back out.
What kind of milk needs a truck with 11 axles! Cheese and rice.............
I did that everyday in Kansas picking up mostly Amish dairies. I pulled a 50ft. Walker tank with sliding tandems.
Wheel Holder
@@robertfowler217 nah newbie.
Typical farm yards..
Wow I've never seen a trailer with so many wheels before.
This is Michigan, very common set up there.
Just think how much more fuel you burn and the amount of rubber it takes from your tires. Yup, good old blue state requirements that are saving on the environment. By the time the driver gets backed up to the milk house, a normal tanker could have been almost loaded.
Have you ever driven truck? Michigan is an axle state and that tanker probably grosses over 120 loaded. Trucks pull that weight without permits there which is why their roads are awful.
@@KnightremWhat do permits have to do with this. The trucks are licensed for the weight they haul and are charged accordingly. Michigan has done this since the 1940s and initially allowed 13 axles. Yes the trucks gross higher weight, but spread out over more axles. It's not rocket science
Why would you not have a wider drive?
The width isn’t the problem, it’s trying not to destroy the lawn across the street.
Just imagine how much air it uses every time you step on the brakes My log truck is 6 axles in northern mn 11 axles crazy
Sometimes takes 20 minutes to air up in the morning, and guarantee at least one will be frozen in the winter
Well it's not as easy as it looks he got it in there that's all that matters👍
I hope thats the their fist time driving a truck.
Cause there farmers.. they can get around with there pickup is all they care
I’m sure you would do it in one try
@@blauer2551 maybe 2
But i only ordered a quart.
I’d say this person is a rookie
@@jerryvandyke9216 he got better.
Let me be the one who says, This is one very, very, very BIG MILK TANKER!!! That is bigger than 2 semi-tank bulk milk haulers in NYS!! They are impressive!!! Is the road stone & oil, or black top paved? Stone & oil couldn't hold up to all those turning tires. Great video 👍👍👍"Michigan Specials" rule!!!!
@@markbickelhaupt4414 at the time was new pavement so it got ripped up.
Painful to watch
Don't think they back into that drive before...Did that for 35yrs
@@Rodney-sf1mc normal guy was training his brother, that why it took so long.
This is the most Michigan thing I've ever seen!
Good thing the road is fairly wide, that's a lot of trailer to back in a driveway
How much the GVW?
This unit can scale 159,000 here in Michigan. We can go up to 164,000 with right configuation and Double trailers.
They need to put an underground pipe out to the road and load from there. 😂 That is one long trailer.
The farmer needs to make it a circle driveway.
What happened to the bridge law .
@@johnmerlo5005 Michigan has never had a bridge law. We are an axle loading state. We have units that can carry as much as 169,000 legally. Have been a truck driver for over 50 years here in Michigan. We have a maximum of 11 axles that we can have on a unit but can be in different configurations. Some are allowed 18000 per axle and others are allowed 13000 per axle. Hope this helps a little sir.
Yo dawg, heard you liked drop axles so I gave your drop axles drop axle a drop axle
Good luck with it, it's missing quite a few parts. Didn't see the hydraulic valve body that should be on the right hand side, and the pulley you were spinning isn't the cylinder, it's farther forward.
Cool baler!
How did you fix it? Mine has the same problem the button under the brake is seised up.
It actually ended up being an F0 I believe which it’s hard to believe when you see the damage along the expressway. The young Turk turf farm.
Camera is not absolutely still and is giving poor quality videos
and yet you still watched it.
I watched it because fords have been a part of my life since I was 7 years old on the 5000 acre farm in Norfolk united kingdom.
I owned one of the MC Rotary Scythes just like this one in the 1970s. I actually cut 50 acres of Alfalfa Hay 3 times a year. Because it cut the plants at ground level and broke the stems in the middle it would dry the hay just as fast as hay run through the rollers of a haybine. Another advantage was that you could drive almost twice as fast as the sickle cut machines. To cut the hay cleanly, I sharpened the swinging cutters about twice a year with a right angle grinder. If given the choice, cows will eat a bale of hay cut with this machine and leave a haybine cut bale until last. It has something to do with the sharp stems a haybine leaves on the end of the stems. It did a great job on chopping corn stalks. If you got enough dry days in late fall you could actually make windrows for baling stalks. All of my neighbors wanted to borrow it for chopping stalks. The MC Rotary scythe had one major draw back. It would level gopher mounds. It wasn't that leveling the mounds was so bad, it was that it mixed the dirt right in with the cut hay. When you came along with the chopper to make haylage all if that dirt and gravel went through the chopper knives. We ended up sharpening chopper blades every day and twice a day in heavily infested gopher fields. Mine was 540 RPM.
Hello
Looks like a ton of work... keel it up
we have a ford 5000 and the pto stays on all the time, any ideas out there how to stop this happening? cheers.
I would check the brake pad and clutch plates, is locked or dragging?
Would a round baler have any problems picking up hay that fine?
Wouldn't make a square bale of difference in 10 acres.
@@randallsullivan3692 What do you mean by that? Sorry, I'm a newish farmer...
@@Millennial_Hobby_Farmer I mean that if you cut, raked and baled 10 acres with each machine (both being in good condition and sharp) you might have 1 extra square bales worth of hay at the end with the sickle cutter over the New Idea. In other words not enough difference to make a difference and certainly not enough to justify the extra that the sickle bar machine would cost.
Thanks for the reply and explanation! So far I love my cutditioner, fastest drying mower I've ever used! Can't believe they stopped making them, they are so simple too!
Bit of a different question but can you get to the circlip that holds the front half of the pto shaft in from on top couldn't quit see from the video have a 5000 with splines and drive hub destroyed
I have six of these tractors, and they all run just fine. I have a rototiller on the hydrostatic one, a mower on another a bucket on another, etc... The important thing is to keep the brake pivot shaft lubed so it doesnt bind up and make the shaft break off the subframe... this had happened on 3 of my tractors! The best attachment is the front bucket, it will lift 350 lbs or so about 5 feet high as long as you have weights on the rear of the machine.
Isle Royle is worth the trip
Great video! Can a 50hp run it in Timothy and orchard grass?
What's the tractor? Farmall M ford 5000 allis chalmers D17 are what we have used on it.
@@fyrciakfarms199 it's an 1996 Agco White 6045
I don't see why it would not run it.
keep the knives sharp to keep from ripping up orchard grass to much is the big thing.
@@fyrciakfarms199 thanks for the advice! I was just worried that my 50hp wouldn't have the power to run through the thick hay. I have a haybine currently but found a Cutditioner for a cheap price. I'd like a backup mower, the nice thing is everyone says Cutditioners save a day of drying time cause the flails beat up the hay nicely.
Yeah I’d never slide in and out of that cage like he did.
One of these days I’m going to drive over and visit with Ray.
is that 540 or 1000 pto??
Now you got some real horsepower
How many bale's do you need to make it to next year
Right now we are looking at about 350-400 bales to make it a year.
I think green chop is the easiest feed from cattle
Glad you got that tractor going it’ll be a nice flip tractor for you as I recall you said you were going to sell it can’t help but saying all that big 12 foot hey going into a tiny row
Thanks for the video.
I'm really torn right now between a cut ditioner or a haybine I'd love to get a disc bine with flail conditioners but that's out of the price range currently not worried about maintenance operating cost or anything other then the quality of hay just mowing orchard grass for horses
Which machine finished the job when the other needed a trip to the maintenance shed? There's your answer.
Cutditioner will make way better horse hay compared to a haybine, there is less moving parts on the Cutditioner as well.
So you have a cassette player in your truck?

Good day from Ontario. Canada . I was listening too news on radio while driving, fellow complaint motorcycle cost him $40.00 , I went to go station that gives .10 cents/ litre & still cost 196.00 for pkup for 95 litres.. I am retired but we use to buy 3 day old holstein bull calves & veal them. Back then you got about $1/pd 700 pd calves. So what did these cost u? Thanks
I ended up with 9 calves at about 20 USD per calf, all in all I payed 172, but I was buying the runts of the pack. it's getting hard to find cheap calves in michigan.
Love it, very happy because of you :) Merci infiniment
Got it done before the rain ?
We loaded out between rains, the first round was not bad. that 2nd wave was nasty.
