Grass Seeding and Straw Blowing on Steep Acreage - AMI Ruckus Rake

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Seeding with used seeder and doing dirt prep with AMI Ruckus rake. Using the Kubota Skid Loader, I used the AMI power rake to try and remove the majority of the rocks and debris from the yard. Then we hooked up the Woods three point seeder behind the farms tractor and seeded the future lawn. This lot started as a woods lot several weeks ago and will soon be a finished turd that be bush hogged or mowed to maintain their awesome view. Hope you enjoy!

Power Raking with AMI Ruckus Rake and Grass Seeding on Steep Acreage
For the past 2-ish weeks, older, random videos from your channel and DP’s have been popping up in my feed. This particular property has been featured in at least 3 of those videos unless I’m getting it confused with a similar property. I’ve watched the majority of both of your videos so I’ve seen them before too.
Nope! It’s definitely the same house/propy. No mistaking that beauty and that view!
Ruckus rake & seed planter worked well together. Easy to blow straw with the machine. Didn't cost big $$$$ to get the job done.
Great video. As always, love to see support from Mike and Matt…great guys
from the Netherlands thanks for the video Captain Kleeman
Mike and Mike are a double comedy special. Mike, Mike, Matt is the three stooges. All we need is Aaron and Jerry and we'll have riot of a party!!!!
If DP didn't have any stickers on his equipment, all you need to look for are the empty or partial empty Pepsi cans to identify the owner of the equipment!! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad to see you used good Kentucky fescue
And with your signoff, you seem beat! First off and SO IMPORTANT is the BOND you have with your 'buddies'! It can't get better than that (believe me!) And CONGRATS for doing like DP and playing "show & tell" - showing the equipment AND explaining how it works. OK, to some, who cares, but hey, this is FIRST TIME USE of some old gear so job well done all around! On the way to check MATT's channel out! Thanks. Sonny
Another great video bud, definitely nothing negative from me about using those channel locks , you know how many hydraulic hoses I’ve changed with channel locks lol 😂
I mean why wouldn’t a fella. It’s what they re made for!
Im glad to see Im not the only one that checks the oil without a rag, wiping oil of dipstick with fingers and wiping on my pants. I am in good company here.
Waste of rags really 😂
"Kleeman proof ", lol. Your name is not just a pronoun at our house bud. My son was riding with me in the dump truck last week and I had to avoid a car on a narrow road and broke my little convex mirror on the right side on a tree limb. He told me I pulled a "Kleeman", so now your name is also and adjective. Lol. Stay safe brother.
Next thing you know, Kleeman will make it to Webster’s new edition!
😂😂 glad to hear to it! It’s an honor
@@CaptainKleeman I was honored myself sir.
@5:18 "Kleeman Proof™®" sticker. LMAO. 🤣
We need a "Kleeman Proof" sticker for products that are Kleeman Proof!!!! 🤣🤣😂😂
This is the very first time for me to ever put my true identity into a smartphone keep up the good work I love it
Hey welcome to the channel and thanks for watching!
Great vid. I always enjoy your commentary and usually have a smile on while viewing. Keep it up. We plan on making a reservation for the yacht when it opens.
Glad to get a smile out of ya!
Hi Mr kleeman is Captain crunch trying to sell you a four Master scooter
Should be a healthy amount of grass on that site. Lot of seed there bud.
Zip tie cables “NOT SO DIRT PERFECT” lol😂
Anyone that employs you is making a very wise decision!!!! This is the type of video that shows your hard work, and ability. This is the type video I like. Keep it up Captain!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words!
Ruckus Rake might be the best implement name ever.
Their PR department definitely nailed it
No Equipment is Kleeman proof!!! 😂 😆
Tip of the week, @ 18:00 vacuum that seed out before you store the seeder for any amount of time. With humidity and temperature changes, that seed can get damp and start sprouting, and rust the heck out of the inside of the hopper bottom.
Great tip!
That’s a good tip!
You are turning into a regular CECIL B. DeMILLE with that camera. Keep up the great work.
Thank you!
Looks good boys
Thanks!
Result of a "GOOD MENTOR" and 'FRIEND"! Sonny
Morning coffee with the captain, Thanks for the great videos
Nice way to start a Sunday.
Thanks for watching!
Is DP hoping planting the 120 in the wild will grow some new ones for him at not cost.
It’s working, just yesterday I noticed three 35gs there, with a little rain they will be ready to load at full 120s!
Matt joined in an the Three Stooges were back 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just wondering, what’s more expensive mirrors or the pieces for the Rukus Rake.
The teeth on the ruckus rake are held on with sheer pins. No cost other than re installing and bending the pin back.
Now how are people supposed to complain when you point out all the things they like to complain about? 🤷🏻♂️
That yard should green up pretty quickly if a huge rain storm doesn’t wash it out before the seed takes off.
Supposed to have gentle rain this week. Should help set the straw and get the seed going.
Great video captain 🇺🇲 I really appreciate your sharing this information 🇺🇲
Thanks for watching!
Why the heck does the straw blower input box spin around? Did they just have some extra bearings ,chains and lube laying around at the factory? Looks like a good way to get thrown off the trailer. Be safe out there.
It helps break the bake down more by rotating it over the knives
Late to this one but good as always 😃
Did anybody else see the Bobcat mini excavator on Mike’s lot? Hope you bring extra shovels to that job site.
Local contractor parking his truck on mikes lot since he had a job near by.
I still say you guys need some covers for the hydraulics when not in use. I also think you need an extra bottle of Tide. Have good days!!
Oxyclean! It even takes meconium out of bedsheets!
Lots of sticks. :) It seems a lot of time you need DP to fix something. :)
Seems I fix a lot too 🤷♂️
@@CaptainKleeman Very true. :)
Many have tried & many times to show how easily things go sideways and just burn up the daylight hours, reinforcements called in to lend an extra set of hands because there is always a shortage of that , as you stand on your head use both hands to break a bolt loose and a foot to support a piece of steel from beating the snot out of you,and tools 🛠 on location, never what's really needed but hopefully will get through the task. " it's not retreating, it's fighting from a new angle" The casualties are things have a bandage 🩹, but work got done things were not damaged and no one or equipment died.
Your comment...well written sir
Hey Captain looks like you’re having a whole bunch of fun with nice weather🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸
That is very beautiful
It's always a win win when it's doesn't involve a mirrors. (Lol).
You should use your mirrors when you drive man. It’s safer that way.
It looks like the power rake didn't do a very good job. There is still a lot of rocks and sticks .
Did an awesome job especially since our soil is basically rock. What do you use?
We mounted our blower on a trailer i built years ago ..... it just chains on so i can set it off as needed .... trailer holds about 100 bales easily .... we use a trailer mover attachment on the skid steer to move it around .... sometimes we hook it to the tractor .... also have a broadcast spreader to sling the seed on bigger reclaim projects ..... reclaim is what makes those projects shine! good looking work ole buddy!
I think seeing how well that used set up works, it’s worth spending a little and modifying that trailer to hold a few more bales.
The 120 was just free grazing. That's what Deer do. Lol God bless
😂😂
Great Job as always :) Not captain Proof LOL
Thanks!
Great video,having the correct equipment for each job makes working a joy.
Sure does!
Nice job,are you video editing your self?
Thanks and yup!
DP saves tons of $$ having the operator use their shirt as a rag! So glad the 2nd time loading the tractor went better! Thanks for sharing!
great job on the yard. thanks for the vids. cheers.
Hey thanks!
Cap’n, that rake slicked the hilltop like a barber school student does his first crew cut!
That seeder is a great tool too. Metering the seed as it does will really come in handy when sewing in the breeze. I’ve heard that filling a walk along hand crank seeder... 40 times to spread 100lb of KY31 is no fun. I learned that in 1969... I was 15, it was about 100 degrees... that’s what I was doing during the ‘Summer of Love’!!!
Now about those Channelocks.... is it legal to call a pair of Irwin Groove joint pliers that? Just curious...
I put out the final video in a series this morning... the same problem that you had, happened to me. A whole SIM card of videos just went bye-bye. Life was so much simpler when we recorded on film... or, was it?
You’re gonna have to invest in a stock of “Kleeman Proof” stickers... I bet three or four would last you a year!
Great job, great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Good video.
Thank you sir!
ya can never have too much kit!... had a JD 755 as my first compact (sold it for a shibara/ford 1220 backhoe loader in the end.. and that's a whole new story!) many years ago and it was a reliable little compact, last year though we managed to hunt down a nice '89 Kubota B8200 Hst with the factory sideshift backhoe and 5ft bucket fel, and its's the dogs danglies, love the old school kit! Gotta love a Bota, ...well unless your DP!
Would love that setup! Seems the majority of what we do is move soil from one side of the property to the other. Definitely going to have to get a bigger loader
@@CaptainKleeman We own or manage several sites/smallholdings from 2 to 10 acres and it's a perfect size.. being 08's iron she is in the process of getting a few updates, converting the FEL to 4 in 1 and the backhoe is getting twin aux lines plus a thumb run from the joystick. For muck moving it's teamed up with a 1.5ton agri style tipping trailer, which also gets used with the backhoe (on side shift) for dig and cart jobs... ya just don't even need to get out the seat, what a winner! .. kido's call it 'cedric'... Cedric Diggory lmao. ya could borrow it if yer weren't 4,065 miles away dang it! Happy homesteading and keep the vidjas coming there keep me sain!
Great vid Cpt. Love that rake. I borrowed my buddies excavator and berried a bunch of junk. That rake would come in handy right now !!!! Lol but guess I have to do the drag beam thing..
What kind of excavator was it? Sounds like a good time!
@@CaptainKleeman it was a Case.
Now that a year has gone by using the AMI what is your verdict. I am shortlisted down to the AMI and the Erskine would love your opinion on the AMI.
I have a video coming out tomorrow,. There are two issues with it and I briefly talk about that in tomorrows video
@@CaptainKleeman LOL, very good hook to get me to view the video. I look forward to watching it when it comes out.
Looks great
Sitting here watching Home Improvement I think you could be the Tim the Toolman Taylor of the dirt relocation world.
Captain of Equipment Modifications or "Captain Kleeman C.E.M"
Be Good, Be Happy and Be Safe and I hope to see you soon on the next one.
look like a great day , thanks for vid
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, another missed video. I have a single roller gill with two rows of spikes to "scratch" the dirt. I've looked for a stand alone 6' feeder that I could incorporate with my gill and create the same concept you all have. That straw blower is awesome. The ones I've seen were way too big to do what you were doing.
Now at 79 I'm looking for less to do instead of more....
That's gonna be a nice place when the grass comes in. Have a blessed and safe week.
Sure is!
Best tool for the job is the one you got.
Agree!
Three men to hook up a three point hitch.
It happened to be lunch time when we were hooking up, in actuality there was another contractor there with five other guys as well, so 8 if you want to be technical. That’s the plus side of having a store where you store your equipment 😉
Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Great job, what's the idea of the straw on top of the grass seed? Never seen that before in England.
Mainly moisture retention to help grass grow. If crimped or netted it helps with water run off as well.
It also keeps the birds from eating the seed
SALUDOS KLEEMAN ,FROM CLIFTON N.J. NICE JOB WELL DONE. KLEEMAN , NEVER LISTEN TO THE HATERS. JUST IGNORE THEN.
That straw thrower does not look OSHA approved , I can see at the end of a long day getting swiped by that metal
It was good to see Mr millennial helping you
Had a good time!
Nice video quality.
Thank you!
Nice tools ! Only one thing concerning me, might just be from the camera angle, but that straw blower with the revolving thingy... man that upper triangle top looks like a thoat cutter ! Would scare the hell of me. Hope there aren't too sharp angles on it. I donno, but I would certainly consider adding something like a pool noodle around the edges :)
Loved the video of you giving DP his birthday gift 👍👍👍👍
Me too!
Hey thanks!
I'm sorry I promised you and answer to a question the answer is the name of a formatted schooner the name is
On. Mary's. Time
What does the name of a for masted schooner got to do with your Maritime question what time is the best time to satisfy Mary the name of the format the schooner
On Mary's time
I love the using clothes as a cloth, did not know you could be so practical.
I mean why not?
Clean the straw off the trailer before loading the spreader and tractor.
Your straw chopper is very compact, ours is a farm king that loads up a one ton round bale and shoots it out the side. Not ideal for small locations but for doing a large area or spreading bedding for the cattle its awesome. I do like that little grass seeder though.
I’ve seen heavy civil companies use that. Can’t imagine he would ever need one that size, not to mention the logistics of loading the round bales, means more equipment for us to haul in.
@@CaptainKleeman Nice part is the farm king runs off PTO and hydraulic self loader. Ours doesn't leave the farm for the cows, your small one definitely does the job you need and you definitely got the right idea with logistics. Easy to tow behind a truck.
Just a quick question? Why do you cover the seed with straw? I live in England and I’ve never seen it done here.
It helps maintain moisture in the ground for the seed and helps to control erosion until you get a stand of grass. The drawback is that you tend to get a lot of weeds by doing it.
@@daneclark3161 oh right. Well we just tend to spread it over and hope for the best. Most of the time thou, we buy in turf from companies. Who grow it in the fields and then cut it out and roll it. So you only have to prepare the ground and lay it on top. Quick and easy way.
@@gaffer6846 - People will put down sod close to a house, but beyond that it is too expensive.
@@daneclark3161 well we don’t have much land around our houses. Only if you live in the sticks. But most of the time there’s plenty of grass around them and way.
@@gaffer6846
Just remember to lay turf green side up. 😉
Another great video
Thank you!
If you're making two passes with the drill, run one pass one direction then rotate 90 degrees and go the other. Gives you a better stand. Also running perpendicular to the slope will reduce the possibilities of washes forming and causing more erosion.
Hill too steep to run the opposite direction unfortunately
@@CaptainKleeman Didn't look that steep amazing how cameras flatten things. Need to get Mike to buy one of those hillside tractors for ya
@@robertboehle4473 you good put a go pro on a mountain and it would look like a 1% grade. It’s crazy how much it doesn’t show up on camera.
On my drawbar you put the pin on top! That way the pin won't get bent!!
Enjoyed the vedio
Thanks for watching!
Another bright cheery and enjoyable day out with the Captain and Matt. Many thanks. Stay safe and well all of the team!!!
Thanks for watching!
Another good job
Thank you!
ωραιο 👍👌
👍👍
Killer job
Thanks!
great to see a smooth seeded project, you guys did fine
Hey thanks!
It's nice to see two millennias volunteer with their free time to help Mr. DP
This isn’t volunteer work 😂
Gotta use what you have it’ll wash out
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Same to you and yours sir! Have a great week!
Good morning from Kentucky! There's a 120 for sale on Craigslist up in Ohio for $34k with 9k hrs.... That would make you a great Xmas present!!! Have a happy rainy Sunday!
Yea it would!
that rake looks nice, and your camera angles are great
Thank you!
Bobcat excavator 🤔?
Other contractor using the lot
Aaaah have to keep surging then 😇
~ring ring~ Hey Mike! Why didn't you tell me about that cliff? Found it with the skid steer and ruckus rake! kind of went over it.
What a perfect way to get him you blew by not making that phone call. ;)
Hahahah
Captain great video. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Thanks for watching sir!
Good morning Captain. Enjoying the video with cup number 1.
Thank you! Hope it was a good cup
Another great video
Like always Capt. K you always do a awesome job, take care stay safe god bless
Thank you sir!
It is nice to see you check the oil. If you hold the dip stick upright long enough it will usually show full of oil in time.
😂😂
we call your channel locks ..multigrips.
Now that’s interesting
Those attachments work out great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah they did!
Great video Captain, hope your little one is well now..
Thank you sir!
Great video captain that straw spreader looks like a back saver . Does a great job have to do a visit back to see it done. 😎👍👌😁
Definitely a handy tool!
Captain, DP and Mr.Millenial, who could ask for any more?? (Shhh, don't tell Aaron 🤫🤭)
Never use straw over here to cover the seeds, no idea why we don't 🤷♂️, just one of those things I suppose......
You did well to spot a 120, I hear they are a rare breed 😂 or did it come out of the woods to see the younger tractor??
Always a pleasure to watch your work Mike, keep on smiling and walk that thin red line 👨🚒👍
I’m going to guess you guys get more cloudy days and rain maybe? Not sure.
@@CaptainKleeman
That is a fair assumption Mike, it has been too cold for shorts, last year had them on since the start of April, only had them on the past two weeks !!! Plenty of rain forecast again for this week, shorts will still be on until September, whatever the weather throws my way !!!!
Nice little seeder there Cap. See if you can find a seed rate chart for it which should tell you which setting for your desired pounds per acre sowing rate. There also may be a different sized drive sprocket to change that rate as well. Oh and I hate seeing people just slashing open seed bags. If you do it right you can just pull the end of the string used to sew the top shut and it will come unstitched. Then the bags can be reused for other things. /Edit, seed rate chart may be that label on the inside of the lid.
Funny thing is I noticed at the end of the day, the dang seeder has a seed chart under the full lid! Handy huh? 😂
@@CaptainKleeman Yep very handy. A tip on that chart take a decent photo of it and save it somewhere where you can find it again. I did this because my seed/fert chart was getting very damaged. Also printed it out, laminated it and glued it in a different spot under the lid.
