I bale about 2500 rounds a year being a custom operator, I use net because that’s what the customer wants. If I was storing rounds inside and feeding a few dozen head, I’d be using sisal twine on the rounds, don’t have to worry about disposing of the plastic, or the animals ingesting any plastic in case you miss some. Anyway, love the channel, just started watching and going from beginning to end!
Kool stuff Pete👍👍
Hey Pete, my grandfather was a dairy farmer in Michigan. To keep the hydrant and hose from freezing, he built a plywood box with a door, insulated with blue foamboard around the hydrant, that was big enough to coil the hose up in as well. he just had a single 100 watt light bulb in the box for heat. That worked for us. love the channel, reminds me of him.
I use leftover baling twine in my garden, as a sort of trellis for tomatoes, cukes, and beans, and to contain tall plants like phlox, sunchokes, and coreopsis. It also comes in handy for hanging things like garlic and sunflower heads in the shed for drying/curing.
Wow you can play the banjo, what can't you do , I love the sound of a banjo
Well I can't play the banjo or guitar very well. I've been a beginner playing them for 30 years now. I just don't have the knack for it like some people do.
Well what you played sounds pretty good just for goofing around,
I bought the lock jaws a month ago, will be changing them out, birds sit on the top of the post and the poop stays there and then the fence starts to pop and ground out it's hard on your electric box, also when it rains water sets in the part the wire is in and it also causes the fence to pop
Nice work on that clock, it looks great!
I chuckled when you opened the jar of pickles, you and Hilarie almost headbutted each other trying to get a sniff =)
I remember my grandmother talking about when the Chestnut trees died. Do you play bluegrass?
Did you ever put out a video on how well the Lockjaw clips did?
I thought in his videos trouble shooting his faults in the electric fence he mentioned he wasn't a huge fan of these after using them. I seem to recall a few of them arcing to the T posts. I picked up some as a test myself.
He did a 3 or 4 part fence fixing video trying to troubleshoot the lack of voltage. Search "FENCE WARS" in his video library and I believe in that video he gives his opinion on them. Spoiler: They weren't as good as he had hoped.
I'm using these to put up my hole fence alone with the wedge loc system I really like it looks nice as well. Also awesome clock.
For your hay string you should build vintage ladder back chairs and weave it for the bottoms, or by them at garage sales or thrift stores and re bottom them.
Pete the red pliers in your other video that you where asking about is for twisting wire ends together. I was going to reply on it but forgot to before clicking off of it. Electricians use them alot.
The best thing about winter is that it makes your lawn look as good as your neighbor's....
Great video. Thanks for always sharing with us.
You're welcome Juliann! Thanks for watching!
well, we braid the twine with either 3 or 6 strands and use it to bind posts and other stuff. You might even be able to sell is.
LockJawz at the 5:00 mark. 🙂
There is a law that exists that I have yet to name; that when you are pulling a hose or a cord and there is a possibility of it getting tangled or snagged or wrapped around another object, it absolutely will. Seems to have a more severe effect on farms ;-)
How did they last? I’m looking for a cost effective way to fence in our dexters.
Although you may not have material wealth, you certainly have a rich and abundant life...well-deserved.
Very Nice Video Pete 😇👍👍
Nice Clock. Well Done!
Need to find yourself an old international or bobcat skid steer for a project. It’d sure be handy to have around the farm.
They are kind of rare but it would make a great project! I think they had air-cooled Wisconsin engines in them.
Hey Pete how did those insulators work for you? I am considering using them.
I can really relate. It snowed here last week. We had 1/2 inch accumulation. Everything was shut down until it melted off in the afternoon.
you could put a bit of foam cladding round your metal pipe in the winter to prevent freezing. Would stop the need to thor is out.
I wish Farmall had made banjos. I'd have one.
The steve martin of farming jokes and banjo !!
👍
Maybe sometime to look up if you're interested but watched a special on plastic a few years back. In it was a research doctor who specialized in plastic in relation to food. She was saying to never introduce heat to plastic in contact with food as the heat allows the chemicals in the plastic to transfer to the food. Since then I have stopped Sous vide/simmer in a bag or microwaving with any form of plastic. Food for thought. ;)
My aunt used to weave rugs out of baler string.
For getting rid of the plastic baling twine... build your own desktop 3D printer (couple hundred bucks) and use the twine for the medium. Fun for the kids too.
Polypropylene is one of the most difficult common plastics to 3D print with, unfortunately.
The hydrant seals may not be the issue but the gravel/freencch drain at the base of the hydrant.
Updated review?
Hi Jordan, they did not turn out to work very well. See the series of videos from last week and yesterday.
You put a slice of break to your pickles that you make for summer use. Can't Keep them for to long but if u eat them in 2 or 3 days after it's done is good.make the pickles faster.
I have seen a guy make ropes from the baler twine only thing is you have to unwind the twine rather than cut it
We call dirty snow "Snirt" here. lol
Pete, have you asked your local crocheters or knitters if they can make mats for the homeless shelters from that orange string from the hay bales? I know that some shelters accept plastic bags that have been knitted or crocheted into mats. As a protection against the concrete for the outside homeless.
Hoof care. Any videos on that? When should you trim the hooves? Or do they take care of themselves if given enough room to walk around on?
Hi ZaneyMay, we've never had an issue with hooves. Guess our cattle do enough walking!
Greetings! Hadn’t seen this one. Ha, we are lefties. Lefties are weird they say. Are those orange insulators from Gallagher? Thank you.
Thanks to you i just spent 500.00 at Lockjazs
Have you ever considered a fodder growing system?
how do you keep the water spigot from bursting in when it freezes?
It's a frost free hydrant. The valve is 4' underground and the water drains back to it after it's shut off.
Thankfully we have not had that much ice here. Still pretty mild winter for Ohio. I also agree about the fermented foods. The only problem I have is I don't like most of it. Still trying to find some I like.
Hi Bernie, we have fermented lots of different vegetables; beans, cauliflower, cabbage, etc. They don't need to be spicy, just brined.
@@JustaFewAcresFarm so say the beans, would they just be salty and/or sour? Have not tasted fermented beans.
@@TheStormisComing24 Yes, use fresh string beans, ferment for 5-7 days. They stay crunchy & are very good.
chains are like night and day. Buy the chain tool and make your own. Broken links are easy to fix with the tool. You will want to make chains for everything you own.
Kimchi's delicious.
That plastic twine will burn quite easily
Might add a set of chains for the Super A, too, especially if you continue to plow snow with it.
Hi Donald, funny thing is that I have a set, but rarely get around to putting them on...
It’s easy and cheap to make your own chains if you have a welder
Have you given the lockjaws a try yet? How did they work?
I did try them Brent. I've been using them mostly for fence ends (like at a gate), and corners. They have worked great thus far.
So do you like the lock jaw insulators?
Hi Christine, they are working great so far! I mainly use them at corner posts. They're so much easier than the old way of wiring a special corner insulator to the post.
I'm looking for something to use on the back side of the posts, were in running wire along a neighboring fence line. From what you showed in the video these would do the job. Thank you!
