    When the drill hangs up around 7:20, I use a 3-fluted, tapered bit. It won't hang up and 'twist your wrist'. Another solution would be a 'stepped drill'. Stepped drills are best used om thin metal (sheet metal, etc.). I wanted to send a pic. but wasn't able to.

    You can install a center ring in your round bail feeder. The elevated position will allow the hay to fall to the outside ring. You are loading with a tractor anyway so it should solve your problem and also keep small animals out of your hay ring. You should also put a roof over this ring to keep the hay dryer.

    Wrap a 16' cattle panel or goat panel (4" squares) around the round role and that will let them eat without climbing on top. As the roll gets smaller, just overlap the ends. You can sit the roll out without the feeder.

    Kevin, from Hidden Heights farm, used a cattle panel on the insides of the half moon feeder. He welded the panel on all the surfaces, even the ends. He said that he wastes less hay. Also Chad , from Doss Farms uses a Guardian hay feeder. It suspends the hay off the ground, and so less waste. And no animal can stand on it.

    The best feeder I ever saw was a cage suspended about two feet off the ground. Animals could access all around and even that hay/silage falling underneath centre, the gap being too small to physically get underneath and spoil anything.

  • @hschultz123
    @hschultz123 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Evan, maybe you should build a large fence line feeder for the cattle, and put up a cattle exclusion fence around the small fence line feeder so that the sheep can feed. After all in the future you will have 2-3 times as many cattle.

  • @onfarm6521

    I agree with you on the silage I’ve cut quite a bit. My advice might be to sprinkle some feed in it to keep them eating the high lignin silage. Typically when ours went long and it turned stemmy the best way to feed it is grinding it and mixing it with grain or a better quality hay.

  • @peterkoster5053
    @peterkoster5053 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Evan. Tip of advise. If your drilling maybe set your drill to the highest torque setting where it will clutch out to avoid it from taking your hands for a ride. At my old job I would always tell people after it spun around and "broke" there hands.... got to have the amusement of telling people after the fact lol.
    Also those pins stick through the hinge more then they have too.... what i do is i cut maybe a half inch off one and a quarter inch off the other and leave one alone so then you line up the gate you start with the bottom pin because it's the longest and you don't have to line all 3 pins at once, you can start at the bottom. It will drop quarter inch then you line up the middle one, when it lines up it drops another quarter inch then you line up the top one and it drops till all 3 are bottomed out.

    Tip I learned for running hole saws and other nasty, twist-prone stuff in my cordless drills - if you stand on the up-torque side of the drill, you can brace it against your hip or knee, and when it tries to twist away, you can much more easily control it than trying to do it with wrist work alone. :)

    Evan, you've got your hands full with that hydraulic valve. The one on my TYM T454 got stuck in the UP position detent and it was a bear to get it out. Had to disassemble the valve and release the balls to get it out. I then had to shim it with some 1/64" washers to keep it from moving too far into the detent and not being able to come out. Too few shims and it would stay stuck, too many shims and it would not engage and stay in the detent. The specifications are far too exacting to be on a tractor IMHO. I need continuous hydraulic flow for the BY85 backhoe I ordered from Small Farm Innovations. Before I fixed it, it wouldn't stay in the detent so I had to run a bungee cord between the handle and the handhold on the passenger side. Don't judge, it worked in the moment! 😆 You might be able to find a replacement ball at a good hardware store or online at McMaster Carr if you have a reliable set of calipers to measure them. Good luck!

    I (unfortunately 😂) used to work in a burn shop, mostly running CNC plasma and burn tables and an older milling machine. When I drill smaller holes I'll use an impact with impact drill bits, it's so much better than using a regular drill. After I get a small pilot hole drilled I run a step bit in reverse to hog it out, that works great for thinner metal. For thicker metal once I get to the big bits over 1/2" or so I run them way slower than you were, and push a lot harder with the drill. Holes drilled on a Bridgeport type milling machine will have one long continuous spiral of metal if the speed and force are both correct, much much slower as the bit width increases. I might not even have the trigger fully pulled on your drills slowest speed for those big holes you drilled. If the speed and downforce on that milling machine were really dead on it would make spirals over a foot long 😂
