    Now you just need another Werk-Brau quick attach and thumb for the ol’ girl😉. What a beauty. I grew up running an old Detroit powered Drott 50, so older equipment like this means a lot to me.

    My cousin told me this! Dad planted atlas it rained. Must have got 18 ft tall. Uncle Matt hooked his 1 row feed cutter behind his A John Deere then a wagon to blow into. The A did not have the guts to pull it. They hooked another tractor to the A. They chopped the whole patch of feed that way! (All the A run was the chopper)

    The 690B was always my dream excavator too. My dad worked for an excavating company in the 1980’s and they ran a couple of them.

    Sweet machine brother! I have a question what brand is your hoop building?

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you! So we actually moved that building years ago and we re built it with a new new cover so if I remember right the structure is a Clear Span and the cover is a Norsman if you build one do not get a white cover if we wax tractors and put them in they will fade out like they sat in the sun if we put green hay in it will look like straw after awhile so go with a dark color cover

    • @zacharyholbrook7930
      @zacharyholbrook7930 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the fast response and the info! We're looking into the options now going that route or metal. I'll let you know what we decide. Keep up the great work!
      Thanks

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If my memory serves, that one has the cab on the wrong side of the boom vs modern excavators.

    You might want to think about replacing the hydraulic pump on your semi. Noticed it didn't even want to pick up the trailer without you giving it throttle new pump

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Well the problem is this truck has the wrong hydraulic pump on it it's got a low pressure high volume pump on it but if you give it some rims it will lift the the low boy....my other 2 trucks have the high pressure low volume pumps and they will raise that trailer at a idle.....some day when I have the time I'm going to change that pump out

    • @dirtgrainsteel
      @dirtgrainsteel  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I just found out the other day I had a background check done on it....it's a 1977 and on October 6th it was sold to a excavating company about 50 mins from here then it pops back up in the system in 1995 belonging to housing development company so with that history and what I was told by Mort I believe I am the 5th owner....sadly at some point John Deere changed their system and some machines history's were lost and Zac's later model was one of them so I can't get the history on it
