WTFarm Girl Hola guapa de donde eres de q parte de USA eres yo t ayudo
Love how before you truly injured yourself, you were able to keep the humor about you. Sometimes these moments are the ones that keep you sane. Hope things turn around quickly and let Erik get you all mended up. Maybe a couple adult beverages would be of assistance, too. Hope y'all have a great weekend! 😊
have wes send you some tire ject you did a great job with the tire

i allways wishing newhollands put flat free tires on there equipment wich kubota can give flat free tires replaces the aired tires to save less maintance
I am so impressed with this girl an her work ethics, didnt think there was any more women out there like that, Eric you are a VERY lucky man. That being said , farm girl i just have one lil piece of advice an it is easyer said than done for sure, dont let the small stuff get you so upset, it will get you hurt, (as you found out) or killed, farming is a dangerous business, stay focused, in the blink of an eye bad things can happen. Flat tires, getting stuck, rain on the hay, thats all part of farming, my granddad had a great saying he'ed say when that stuff happened, it was "if that's the worst thing that happens today, then we had a good day, thank you Lord", an he said it alot. May God bless you an your family, stay safe. Its a good life if you dont let it kill you or drive you crazy in the process
Your definitely a determined woman. I respect you for not giving up. Stay tuff young lady and I hope the finger is not serious. Thanks for the videos.
You need a Milwaukee impact gun. They make life so much easier and they are not too expensive. I have tons of respect for you doing this stuff. My hats off to you and your husband is a lucky man to have you 👍🏻👍🏻
WE bought one after repairing the wheel, lol!
You get 10 thumbs up from me cause you don't give up and changing a tire on anything is a chore in its self so great job. Hope you can get it done before the rain. Keep up the great videos
Sorry about what happened Farm Girl. My Grandfather farmed till he was 81 so he farmed well over 70 years and I remember countless times when things like this would happen at the worst time but never in all the bad times did he ever complain or get mad. He always told me if Farming was easy anyone could do it so to complain does not get the baler fixed. I also remember quite well that in all those years he never rode around the hay field in an air conditioned tractor with the stereo on. He broke many bones over the years and got knocked out by a BULL (HIS LAST BULL) cause he made the mistake of turning his back at the wrong moment. He never once blamed the Bull for doing what came naturally to him. He would simply say it's something you learn from. I give you and Eric praise for doing an almost thankless job that is full of the unexpected everyday. I think it helped that he was a very religious man. So remember that bad things on a farm never stop and If it was easy anyone could do it.
I would say most farmers are God fearing souls. We know all things are in his hands. We are grateful for the good but know bad comes too..
Hey Farm Girl, I used to use those bale carts and here's a tip for unhooking:
put the pin in upside down when you first hook up, then when you're ready to unhook, chock the bale cart tires so it can't roll,
then put you're tractor in reverse and put just a little back pressure to squeeze the bales on the tongue,
and the pin will fall to the ground and you can drive away
Step by step lady....late is better than get hurt.......your tractor is so lovely.....your works is great...
At 7:51 You are in the air over the jack. Here's my experience at age 17. I am now 61. We loaded dry horse manure for the garden into the half ton truck. We had about 3/4 of a ton load on the truck and as we drove home we had a flat. My brother was 15 at the time. So I pull out the jack-all jack to jack up the truck to change the tire. We had a spare as the location was 1/4 mile from home. As I am jacking the truck I am basically in the same situation as yourself, trying to jack too heavy a load. The next thing I know, my brother is calling to me. I open my eyes to find that I had been hit by the jack handle when it sprung! It hit me in the sternum, and mid - left lower jaw. The jaw is dented to this day. I was covered in blood as I bit through the tongue. I was out cold. My brother ran home, got the town truck and loaded me in. He drove me in to the hospital and he was driving on the highway underage. We got in to emergency and my mom, the ER nurse signed me in. She was frightened, upset and mad that I was in there. Was observed for a day at home for concussion. To this day my cardiologists say that my heart has an abnormal tilt and agree that my continual sternum pain and heart tilt was caused by that jack handle. Two days later I had to go back, jack up that truck and change the tire. I had to offload manure first before doing the job. Just a word from a kid that was too young to take on some of the responsibilities that I took on. When it is overwhelming, wait and get help from an expert. Those kinds of predicaments are not worth injury or loss of your life. I know you are tough as nails, but your life isn't worth rain on hay. Live to hay, another day! All the best to you folks!
A front end loader does all my lifting
Great Video. Those Balier Tires Are A Pain In The Butt. Im A Small Guy, So A Breaker Bar Is My Best Friend. You Did A Great Job, Id Gladly Farm With Ya"ll Any Day. Take Care.
kubota balers has flat free option at my dealer
Gear head girls from Michigan rock. Good job young lady. I'm sure Mr. Eric is very proud to have you standing by his side. I grew up on a farm and your channel brings back so many memories, mostly good, but we had days like this as well. So very sorry you got hurt.
I’m impressed!!! One tough beautiful lady!! My hat’s off to you!!
throw a log chain around the frame of the bailer and the front end loader. lift the bailer with the front end loader. put a block or something to keep the frame from falling down. pull the wheel and get'er fixed.
1 time to invest in a cordless impact gun. 2 an old trick for mounting that style of rim that requires bolts is to find a long bolt the same size and thread as your lug bolt and cut the head off so you make an alignment tool to get the tires back on easier
I was gong to suggest putting at least two regular lug STUDS in each side. Never really understood the idea of using bolts like that in anything other than truck or tractor wheels.
William Collins totally agree on a good battery powered impact gun! I would suggest 2 bolts for stud alignment.
Put a trailer tongue jack on those stack wagon tongues.
Agreed.
You rock girl great job. You are learning and your gaining valuable knowledge and strength.
Many years of mechanic experience, and doing tire work has helped me learn some things.
Yep, love those hayin days. The closer the rain is the more problems you have.
You have a loader on the Tractor; unhook, chain and lift the baler and remember, loosen lug nuts before you lift
Yep gotta bust those lug nuts on the wheel
Your a hard working farm girl, but as we know farm work is hard work, have a blessed day, RESPECT from Missouri
Awesome .... I like the way you work .... no stopping , no giving up .... keep going until you succeed .
Some days you’re the windshield and some days you’re the bug.
You need a portable impact driver or a longer handled socket wrench for those lug nuts.
Dwight Schrute fure sure that saved me lots of times
Your going to have no fingers or back left the way your wrestling things around. The old saying, work smarter, not harder is a good way of thinking. Good luck !!! Thx for the videos!!
Having worked on a grain farm I would want you on my team any day. You have a great attitude, you give it your all, you don't give up and you still manage to smile. Keep up the great work!
I would try to have 2 spare tires that way if you have a flat you can just swap the tire and rim out. Even if they are old truck tires. I've used a truck tire on a bailer before and plenty of wagons. You should invest in a battery impact so you don't have to screw around with a ratchet.
Olá! Trabalho difícil, mas no final fica a recompensa pelo ganho em experiência, o aprendizado, e o seguimento do trabalho.
I love your effort, it really is baffling how in this day and age they are still putting regular ole inflatables on ag equipment something like this needs some hard rubber or foam filled tires ,for field use. You are a true inspiration for American women
For tire problems i use tire ject. I used to deal with about 4-5 flats a year. Now i have not had a flat in two years because of tire ject. Its amazing stuff.
You are an amazing patient women and one hell of a hard working dedicated women. 👍❤️
U should buy a cordless impact wrench
Travis mohwinkel just picked up one today
Agreed
Suzie I give you 3 thumbs up for effort and style. Your a real go getter. Eric is a real lucky man to have you. Things will get better. Wish I lived closer to help ya.
You could see the baler listing as she was baling before she noticed the flat. Too busy making videos. Eric’s comment confirmed it 😂
If you are open to some advice. When trying to put the heavy(or any) wheel on.
Lower the jack slowly so it comes close to the ground. Than put the wheel on and just lower it a bit more so you can "catch" the top screws in. Basically use the jack to rest the wheel on the ground so you can just try and get the holes right. When you don't have to hold the wheel you can turn the bearing to position it right.
BTW good job New Holland for not having fixed bolts.
When you catch the top 2 just jack it up so it can seat properly. Keep them facing up. Don't Tighten the bolts until you have them all in, just hand screw them.
Hope it helps.
Oh BTW I don't know how you call it but We call it Rare(or loose its hard to translate) tire here. Its when it gets older Tire get weaker and micro holes occur due to rubber loosing elasticity. So it constantly loses pressure and when loaded and bumped,like on a hole or a rut, it creates a hole from a micro fracture. That may be your issue. Maybe get a new inner tube if you can.
I was tring but it was STUCK and wouldn't move :( I figured if push came t shove I culd pull it down the the tractor..
Yep use the brain not the brawn, if you can raise the tyre lower the baler
That short socket wrench really doesn't give you much leverage. I bet you if had about a 3 foot long piece of pipe you could slide over the wrench handle, you could bust them bolts loose all by yourself. ;-)
Exactly , even use the floor jack as leverage . Relatively , no effort if you use the floor jack too . The jack does all the work .
Still needs an extension from the socket to the ratchet.
A cordless impact such as the 1/2 inch Milwaukee would be the best for that situation
You are such a hard working lady,I wish you better days in the future.
You're a very pretty young lady but what I like best is you'll get right to the problem and deal with it. Your fella, I'm sure, knows and appreciates what he has in you. This is the first time seeing you on youtube for me and you're an enjoyment to watch. Keep up the good work.
The possibility is that you made too tight a turn leaving the tire as a pivot point, pinching the tube and separating the sidewall. That tractor represents a large capital expense for baling hay. An old "M" would be more than enough.
thats why were getting rid of newhollands and getting all kubota equipment
..and the fuller the wagon even more pressure on the tires of the 575 and the rest of it....so asking for not only tire problems ....the 575 even have to push the bales high up in the air as well... more pressure ..and what is the tire pressure on both .....
so in a way ....she is really lucky the tire went instead of.....
A old M didn't have a live pto
One thing is for sure. You are very persistent and determined. Kicking ass and taking names...lol
Keep it up girl don’t give up work hard don’t let nobody tell you you can’t do it keep it up bailing hay you do good your luck Will change so keep it up pretty girl
Well Young lady I think you are doing very well for your self as you are learning the hard way.
You need a Milwaukee or whatever company - cordless impact wrench for doing that - just suggestion
Hard working beauty
Ya never gave up. You know it gotta be done & ya kicked ass. Nice muscles also. Seriously like your job & ♥️. 🇺🇸
You had bad week with flat tire and changing the hay cart. I made a good investment 5 years ago by getting a cordless impack which will loosen the lug bolts or lug nuts which ever is holding the tire. There are several different ones out made by Dewalt, Kobalt, Milwaukee. My is a 24V Dewalt 3/4'' drive and I also have Kobalt 3/8 drive. I've been using my impacks to change flat tires and other repairs that I have worked on. If you have a Lowes or Home Depot near you check them out. I keep mine in the tractor cab along with sockets and extensions. Once you get one you'll be glad you had it! You also put a lot of effort in working on equipment or what have you. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
I have a tip for you, on your basket. I use a shorter self locking pin I use but I put it upside down so I can pull it out. Makes it a lot easier to get the pin out.
I thought we tried that once maybe our pins were too long cant remember but will try again with shorter pins.
Rural Ridez616 I use a black self locking pin. I believe it is 4& 3/4 inches long upside down. Works grate for me.
Just back up a little and the pin falls out.
I like your hat!!!
Lots of talent there! You can do a lot more than most of us!
I have never meet a women like you that works so hard. Your very awesome.
I laughed when you said jack it off. I have a bit of a dirty mind, but a good video.
Put a wee drop Greece on the bolts or spray a wee drop of wd 40 on them.
Davie McCallum
Or just put studs on the hub like it should have to begin with. Bolt on rims, Stupid European design.
Amazing the. coincidence of observing the battles you wage.....Only my problem is not knowing what o do and how to do it..... Age has robbed me of the strength to do it......It takes me forever to do simple things........But you are a joy to watch....Wish my son had married a girl of your Ability.......
What a beautiful farm girl !!!
I think all of your viewers should chip in and buy you a cordless impact gun!! lol
I would agree! But Erik JUST bought one this weekend :D
didn't take him too long to catch on 😉 LOL
Sorry but i giggled when I saw you grab that little ratchet to take to bolts off lol :P
it's just a "LOOK AT MY ASS AND LEGS" video.
@@DavidSmith-jj5pr DOn't mind if I do!!!
Hi farm girl
My son and myself are first time farmers as well.
I wrote you once before as you were attempting to change a tire before..my advice to try and help.....be prepared
I admire your patience and willingness to work..however once you have a problem you need to be better prepared...a aluminum jack that is considerably lighter would be helpful..but a bottle jack will fit easily in your cab..and for only a few dollars more you can or should have is a battery operated impact wrench to take off the lugs
I know advise sometimes is unwarranted..but I like you guys and have learned from similar experiences
Please don’t wash any more tractors like the last video....my day was ruined...LOL
Erik bought an eletric impact the next day, and I had subs send me breaker bars :) But we do need a new bottle jack, our current one is not working too well :(
You can do anything farm girl😀💪👍🌹
Get yourself a 4 way lug wrench and a 12 ton bottle jack and 2 tire iron’s enjoy your videos
4 way lug wrench goes a long way.
I am collecting your regional expressions. "Holy hell!" That is a good one! Even better then "Gosh Dang".
I've worked on a few balers, and after working on a few of them I'm convinced that they were purposely engineered to fail 37.3 seconds after you just got done fixing the last thing on them that broke. And then once you FINALLY get it to run more 37.3 seconds at a time and think it's all good, BAM, tension is too low or some other thing will be out of adjustment. You got it done and that's what matters, but you might think about keeping some good sling chains so you can pick stuff like that up with the loader and if you don't want to rig it then a decent bottle jack is a better idea than an "automotive" floor jack, they lift more weight and are a little safer. Stay away from those chinese tire tubes, even with wheel liners I've not had or heard of anyone having a lot of luck with them.
sometimes I just want to reach into your video and help you....
Me too
Same here! It pains me to see anyone struggle. :/
me three, lol
Always the Southern Gentleman, Soybean Farmer
Thank you for being beautiful
Great perseverance thanks for sharing 👍hope your week gets better
The joys of baling. I’m looking at a wire baler. Best of luck to you.
Hopefully your affected by the flooding. Atleast it’s not the tiring needles shhh
Buy a new tire
I don't like to some boyfriend on a video about farm woman you r so cool
Hello sexy farmer i love see you work on your farm love you
Admire your tenacity. Most folks would have given up.
Eric has the patience of a saint!
tireject OLF
Tireject is for tubeless tires.
iowadairyboys
Yes, our baler is tubless. The tire guy may have put a tube in it because it has been giving them problems. And when she let the weight down it hissed she said ,most likely a bead issue. If it keeps going flat I'd pull the tube and do what 70 elco suggested.
Please don't listen to the folks suggesting you put lube on lug nuts and bolts. It's a recipe for disaster. The last thing you need is to have the freshly lubed lug come loose.
Properly torqued bolts/nuts dont need rusr to keep them on.
@@lynwessel2471 nobody said anything about rust. Been an ASE certified mechanic for over 40 years. How about you?
50 yrs experience removing/replacing ag wheels on machinery that's stored outside,run in liquid manure etc.Rusty lug bolts is a given.Approx 164 tires on my small farm,so have some experience on what works,but Ill stop lubing the threads so I dont have a disaster.
@@lynwessel2471 wonder how old you'd be if I had said I had 70 years experience? Don't be angry at me if you have been doing it wrong for 50 years.
Id still be 59 and still not had a wheel fall off.
You are one in a million!
It's always fun fixing flat tires on farm equipment and tractors!!!
Maybe you should talk less and just sort the crap out
LOL, my brain doesn't work as smoothly as most people's, so for me talking helps to drive the neurons to the far outer reaches of my brain to help gather ideas better. Otherwise I'd just be staring stupidly at it ;)
@@This1LifeWeLive
If I think about it i do do the same just in my head
And I also laugh at my own jokes
LOL, if I think a joke in my head, I laugh out loud, but if I say the joke out loud, I don't laugh at all, so maybe that means it's not funny, lol?
Maybe you should leave your mom's basement.
@@asherdie I left my mom's basement years ago.
Atta girl. My grandpa was bailing hay one time. John Deere 520 putt putt. Any ways, he went to step over the PTO and got his old denim bib overalls caught in the PTO. Thank goodness they were wore out because they tore them clear off his body. My grandma said she'll never forget it. Because he came walking down off the hay field in his white shirt and tidy widys😀
As much as I love watching you wrestle that tire. Let the jack down till the tire is on the ground and not putting weight on the hub then you can spin the hub by hand and line the holes up. By the way your a looker for sure lol
You need a 4-5' pipe. Like the one from the top of a res. chain link fence. This will give you the leverage to get stuff done. Also a piece of rope to wrap around it and use to pull the pin out. Also if you back the triler up to some blocks it will take some pressure off the pin.
Hey Farm Girl in order to make your job easier to disconnect the E-Z load basket from the baler. Get a different type of pin, the type you need has a spring wire that actually fits in a groove on the entrance end of the pin. Now when you attach a empty basket you install the pin upside down. Before you use the spring wire you need a large nut that fits loosely over the pin then you let the spring wire slip in that groove. What that nut does keeps the spring wire from getting damaged by the holes on the basket hitch. Now all you do to unhook is to release the spring wire out of the groove by just using a hammer. Once you have done that just get in the tractor and jiggle the baler back and forth. The pin will fall out on the ground. If it still hung up use the hammer and a crow bar rest the crow bar end on the head end of the pin hit the bar so the impact down ward pressure extracts the pin. I have used my hay baskets for 20 years. You are doing a some other adjustments that are not really called for. I do not adjust the angle plate on the basket. Never lift the tongue using that plate. Only pickup the tongue by grabbing the tongue it's self. Email me. I know what it is like to bale hay and beat mother nature's storms. thehorseman322@aol.com
It is to be admired, the work of a woman in a job for men. From Romaniea I follow you. Congratulations, you did admirably!
Bad day, but you got it done. You rock!
You said it. Put a bar under to pry upward. Where was your bar ? Lost like your gloves ? I use what's called a wrecking bar. Very handy for lifting, holding or prying. Be vigilant using tools. Saves thumbs and fingers. Gloves have a way of walking away. So I buy a cheap bulk pack of a dozen pair or so. Heck, I still have to look for them. IT's crazy.
Suzanne here is what I like to do.
1 you need to get a strong 1/2’ cordless impact wrench, I use a Makita that is in excess of $400, but it will take off a semi Budd style rim.
2 I take out 2, 8” to 14” tapered punches for holding up the rim on to the hub. Put one punch in a hole in the rim & hub. Then try to turn the tire so that the punch is on the top, hurry up, stick the other punch in a hole.
Push both punches in hard, start a bolt, now you can relax!
Hello from north east Montana.
10 miles from the Canadian border.
I love the punches idea! We did end up buying a large cordless impact driver too right after this incident ;D
Get your self a barker bar and a speed wrench and keep them on your tractor they well become your best friends I enjoy your videos they are the truth about farm life it not as easy as a-lot of people think it is..
Carry a ratchet strap and when you need to pull the pin, wrap the strap around the tongue on thd tractor and around the trailer tongue and ratchet them together to loosen the pin. Or put the rig in reverse for a second to hopefully push the bailer toward the trailer. I use the ratchet strap. Great video and i gotta hand it to you, your a tough cookie!
Excellent
GOD BLESS YOU,FOR WORKING SO HARD. THANK YOU!!!🇺🇸😀🔥🔥🔥
You are such a trooper thanks for the videos and keep up the good work...
Thanks!
and I love that I never heard you say I can't not once
Hi WT Farm Girl, one suggestion for your "tire" issues. Most of my implements other than soil preparation are from New Holland (older models). At one point, I replaced all the rims so that they are 15", same bolt patters (had to switch some hubs) except for the Manure spreader. I have also one extra-wide rim and one regular rim that are mounted with Ag implement tires. I always have couple of spares for the times that the garage would be closed or the tire ruined. Have a nice day and wish you a good 2019 season, Ciao, L (ME, USA)
Looks like another win for New Holland
Good For You! Nice trick with the leverage bar and thats not cheating..... its using your head!! (a wood 2x4 works well aslo, its flat) ; here is a tip for you regarding changing tires (I couldn't lift that tire either) . On cars and trucks with lug bolts you need to first thread a long stud into one of the threaded holes , then as you lift the tire, as you are, you only need to line up one wheel hole with that protruding threaded stud and HANG the tire in the proper place!!! Now as its hanging there you can work with it. Very common technique used on Audi automobiles or any other hub that does not have wheel studs on it. Oh ya..... bring a spare with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need a breaker bar, longest you can get. a four foot length of steel piper just big enough to fit around the wrench will also help, use a wrench with a good warranty for this, they might break. I use the pipe and breaker to get off the spindle nuts on my mower deck, they self tighten even when I use no seize.
You are very determined, thumbs up for being bull headed LOL
That's a good farm girl push and talk and tell them haul you'll get it eventually take your time
I can't sleep I have no idea how I got here
Changing those tires is a biatch for anybody! I would suggest you get yourself a 3/4" drive ratchet set . You would never regret it. Hope your finger is ok! Way to soldier on. You are a true hard core farmer!!
Miss these type videos from you!
Where's I'm crying and complaining, lol?
@@This1LifeWeLive lol…. What guy doesn’t appreciate a super hot farm girl? Even if she complains a little. :)
The dealers love you guys ... easy money
Very good
I've never enjoyed watching someone change a tyre before now
The high cut top part to funny. The good times wouldn't be as good with out the bad ones. 👍
