When I was William’s age, a 4230 with ROPS & canopy was the “big” tractor on our farm. I loved that tractor. Glad to see yours is still in operating order.
I spent hrs sat with my Dad when he was driving a 4230 on the farm he worked for, mate, ya brought back sweet sweet ass memories of my childhood. Brilliant, especially getting the driving view. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇺🇸
Wes, you ever think 25 years ago you would be calling your 4230 a little tractor? I know some of ours have moved to basically auger or square baler duty much like yours. Hey thanks for taking us along, probably the only chance I'll ever get to see either state is you.
That compressor station has a turbo to force the gas pressure to the end of the pipelines, or volume would drop low at peak times in winter and pilot lights would go out. Always double the weight on a bridge law, they have to allow for two trucks, opposite sides to be on their at one time. Enjoying your videos.
Yep I worked at a compressor station after I finished school... we did mainly ROW maintenance because the old compressor station had been shut down for years, because in the 40's when it was built they allowed much higher pressure in the pipelines-- by the 70's they basically cut the allowable pressure in half, and the next compressor station further out could raise the pressure sufficiently to push the gas all the way to the refineries south/east of Houston, so our station wasn't needed to boost the pressure any more. Our station consisted of six gigantic engines, 16 cylinders each one had a piston about the size of a five gallon bucket or a little bigger. I still have an old valve that was going to get trashed-- the stem of the valve is about a foot or so long and the valve head is about 4-5 inches in diameter. There were manholes on the side of the crank case to get in there to fix bearings; the mains were about a foot and a half in diameter, the rods about 8 inches in diameter. The heads were all separate and each head was about a foot or so thick and about 3 feet or so around, cast iron. Wouldn't want to guess what they weighed. The engines themselves were about 20+ feet long and about 4 feet wide, and on the LH side (from the back) there were three compressors that ran directly off the crankshafts on their own throws... Each compressor had a piston about 3 feet in diameter with about a one foot or so stroke. Each of the three compressors were separated by about 4-5 feet spaced out along the side of the block, and each had its own cast iron head, bolted down to flanges on the ends of the manifolds in the floor under the engine in the basement. The heads were all bolted on all the way around and we had valve plates for them... they were basically a gigantic 1 inch thick steel plate about 3 feet or so around, sandwiched between two thinner outer plates bolted onto it. Each plate had a half-circle with about a 3 inch dividing portion between the two halves, each half had dozens of about 1 inch holes drilled in them from opposite directions... the holes were tapered at the bottoms to form valve seats. Into each hole a plastic poppet was fitted, and then a spring inserted into it, and then the two outer plates with matching but slightly undersized holes to retain the springs and put pressure on them were tightened down on the main valve plate, and then this plate was inserted between the cylinder of the compressor and the head, which had a matching center divider and gasket to seal the inlet side from the outlet size. Gas was sucked in from one side through the dozens of poppets and pushed out through the poppets on the other side to raise the pressure. One time the boss came over and got me and took me into the compressor building, which was usually locked. He took me down the stairs to the basement, which is where all the plumbing for the oil supplies and returns to the engines, and the huge manifolds from the three 36 inch gas pipelines that fed gas into the compressors and then back out of them into the lines continuing on to Houston, out in the valve yard with the pig traps. Of course since the compressors were no longer in use, the crossover valves had been opened to bypass the compressor, as was done for maintenance when the compressors were still running. We got halfway down the steps and he stopped... the entire basement, bigger than a football field, was filled with about 4 feet of crystal clear water-- seepage from our rains and high water table. The pumps had quit and the 90 foot deep storage well was full and the company hadn't come to pump it out and haul the water to disposal sites, so he pointed out a 3 inch Pacer pump suction hose going out a basement window on the back side of the basement, the bottom of the hose laying on the floor. He then took me around back of the plant where a Pacer pump and five gallon can of gas was sitting, and told me to pump the basement out into the ditch, since the storage pit was full. He also told me to hang around the yard and tend the pump, but if I saw any "strange vehicles' other than our trucks or his car, to go shut the d@mn pump down right away and disconnect it from the hose going into the basement, because the last thing they needed was to be found out by some inspector LOL:) I pumped water all day and I'm not sure it went down by a foot LOL:) H3ll of a lot of water! They tore the compressor station down about 15 years ago-- nothing remains now but the valve and pig trap yard to clean the pipelines. When I was a kid, there was a 'company town' out there with rows of houses on either side of the main entrance road a half mile back off the gravel road to the compressor station itself-- all those houses and families worked out there maintaining and running the compressors. When it shut down in the late 70's or early 80's, all those people were out of work and had to move off-site. All but 2 of the houses were sold off and moved; one was kept for the office where the boss and his secretary and a big ol' boy who used to find and mark and monitor all the pipelines for companies who were gonna dig and needed them located had all his maps and office and stuff... the other old house was our "break room" and toilet basically, and storage. It was really a shame because they had a nice big ol' warehouse out there and everything... lot of good jobs back in the old days, all gone. Worst thing was the smell... there was a little shack in the middle of everything that just stunk to high heaven. I found out why one day. Natural gas is of course odorless-- they add a "stink agent" to give gas its distinctive odor, so that you can smell gas leaks in your house before it blows up. All the homes and buildings out there had been supplied with natural gas straight from the pipeline, which is straight from the wells, so of course odorless. They had a BIG meter that the company could tell how much gas they used from the pipeline and pay whomever accordingly, and next to it was this big dual-filter looking thing. Well, once a year, we closed the valves into and out of it, and opened a plug in the top, and poured a cup full of methyl mercaptan down in there to soak the filter elements inside... The little shack had a 2.5 gallon jug, stained dark brown like a water line where the fluid level sat in the jug, which was holding the methyl mercaptan. Smelled like pure skunk spray. It soaked through the jug which is why when the wind was still and the humidity was high the whole yard stunk like h3ll... Anyway we CAREFULLY poured a two cups of this stuff and closed the jug back up tight, and CAREFULLY carried it over to the housing and poured it down the holes we unplugged in the top to soak the gas filters... then we closed everything back up, opened the supply valve to flush out any air, tightened the plugs, and opened the supply line back to the gas system-- the filters would add the gas smell to the gas as it flowed through there from the meter. My foreman told me "don't get that stuff on you, you'll stink for a month because it soaks into your skin, and if you get it on your clothes you might as well burn them because it's there FOREVER..." If you wanted to get even with somebody who did you dirt, you could squirt a dropper full of that stuff in their car-- they'd burn the d@mn thing or haul it to the crusher... LOL:) Later! OL J R :)
We call them transplants in iowa as well. have a surplus of jack wagons from out west and Illinois/chicago. Wish they would go home. Not a 10 ton bridge
I enjoy listening to you yammer on about things sometimes your video gets into something interesting you start talking about it and all of a sudden it's cut into something else
Salt domes and traps... Basically oil and gas move through the rock all the time, but they pool in upside-down features of the rock, where a permeable rock is overlaid by an impermeable layer... easiest way to think of it is like puddles after a rainstorm, but upside down... same way water runs to the lowest points on the surface to form a puddle, oil and gas move upwards til they hit an impermeable layer and then "piles up" at the highest point, like an upside-down puddle. Geologists look for those features and then drill into them to access the "pool" of gas or oil. The real trick is, differentiating between a small puddle and a big "pond" of gas or oil. It's like pumping water for irrigation-- it won't take you any time to drain a puddle or small pond, but a big reservoir or lake you can pump from for years and not empty it. Small accumulations of oil or gas can be under extremely high pressure, but they're quickly depleted because it's a "puddle" or pocket of oil or gas. A large accumulation is a "formation" where oil or gas have been accumulating for millions of years and flowing in from surrounding rock as its removed, which can produce for decades or more. The permeability and pore size of the surrounding rock also affects how much it can hold and how quickly or slowly it can move through the rock. Oil or gas "sands" or sandstone layers underground have large pore spaces where oil and gas can easily flow through the solid rock to the well bore. "Shales" or mudstones have teeny-tiny little pore spaces-- they can fill up with oil or gas and contain large amounts of oil or gas in a formation, BUT it can only flow through the rock with GREAT difficulty because of the tiny pore space. It's sorta like a new oil filter versus a dirty one to the point of being clogged... the pore space is too small for oil to easily pass through anymore in a clogged filter. Previously those oil and gas in "tight formations" like shales were largely not produced, because it's easier and cheaper to produce from "looser" formations. BUT all the "low hanging fruit" has been picked over the decades, and so now we use technology to get at the oil and gas in the "tight" formations like shale. Frakking drills into these formations, then pumps sand, water, and acid into the solid rock at hundreds of thousands of PSI, literally enough to fracture the rock, causing it to split and cracks to form in the solid rock going outwards from the well bore. Sand flows into these cracks and holds them open when the pressure is released, and the acid attacks the rocks and eats holes in it. Oil and gas can then easily flow out of the rock into the cracks and holes and crevasses in the solid rock, and flow through the sand holding the cracks open back to the well bore. Thus enough oil or gas can flow into the well bore to keep the well productive, FAR more than could flow in from the surface of the solid rock surrounding the well bore. In the 50's and 60's "Project Plowshare", a program to find "peaceful uses for the atom bomb", detonated nuclear explosives in well bores into tight shale formations in the four corners area of New Mexico and Colorado... Shots "Gasbuggy", "Rio Blanco", and "Rulison" tested various atomic devices of varying power and their ability to fracture the rock to produce gas from tight shale formations that were uneconomical at the time to produce commercially. The atomic bombs detonated at the bottom of the well bores thousands of feet underground vaporized large caverns in the solid rock and fractured the rock out for considerable distances from the vaporized cavern, creating a chamber into which the natural gas could easily flow in from the cracks in the shale. The well had casing installed and the wells began to produce natural gas quite nicely-- only problem was, the gas was too radioactive to sell and distribute commercially-- flowing in through the contaminated rock caused it to pick up radioactivity which remained in the gas coming out of the well. They were capped and that was that, though there are plaques in Carson National Forest showing where the wellheads once were... Later! OL J R :)
@@onelonleyfarmer Thanks. Hobby of mine. Geology and oil exploration are interesting. Course being from Texas is everywhere here lol. Look at the Shiner area on Google earth, you'll see hundreds of little tan squares doing the landscape, that's well sites in the Eagle Ford Shale. They do directional drilling now one bore hole at the surface, branches out to many underground, like an upside down tree. The bottom of the branches might be a mile away from the surface location of the well in any directions. In the 80's they bulldozed up a slush pit for the drilling mud and cuttings and a couple mix pits and drilled a 4 inch water well to make drilling mud for each site. Now they level off about an acre, cover it with gravel a foot or so deep, and haul in all their equipment for the drilling operations, with portable rectangular steel water tanks with a trailer axle recessed on one end and King pin for fifth wheel welded under the other, so it lays flat on the ground when uncoupled from the truck and winched down to the ground. Mix all the mud and pump the cuttings into them by manifolding them together with big hoses. They drill a centralized well or even use city water by tapping into a fire plug and running the water for miles alongside the road ditches thru collapsible 6-8 inch hose, run thru culverts or they put a "jumper box" across the driveways if there is no culvert, basically about 2 ft wide by 4 inch thick steel box wide enough to drive stuff across, with a transition manifold welded to each end where the hoses attach, then dump gravel over it like a speed bump 😂... The old ways actually left almost all the land returned to farming or grazing, now those well sites are permanently out of production... But "better for the environment"🙄🙄🙄 later! OL J R
Did anyone else notice the lightning in the clouds to the top left of the screen whilst Wed was loading the tractor and bailer. Love the videos Mr Pandy.
Good video Wes, always working, got to, to make a living in today's society right, Scranton pa, I'm in Cumberland Maryland, hard to find people that want to work nowadays, that unemployment will eventually run out, dc is full of scum now so who knows, thanks for being real Wes. 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah. Compression stations just keep pushing the gas through the pipeline and they are noisy has heck. Lot of the old ones are Ingersoll and Rand engines. Spent many of nights in hotels doing surveys for those stations.
@onelinelyfarmer you must have been near Hop Bottom Pa. I'm pretty sure I know where that compressor station is located. The farmers most likely lease there gas rights and get royalties for them.
Your Corn value price should be going up. We have lost corn in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois already this year due to micro burst and duratios.
Poor Tim! No old baler to put a smile on his face! That's more then a 10 ton bridge unless they're is something majorly wrong underneath!! Enjoyed the trip to pa!
It is usually a good idea to have your name on a land title to park your equipment on, at some stage. (Even a small area of land). Circumstances can change quickly at any time, more so when a person gets over 40. Having a sentimental attachment to family/ relative owned land can have its issues. Be interesting to see what the options other people use. a) Subdivide the 'home farm' land area so the younger generation don't have to buy a large area or pay too high a price at one time. b) Start new yard close down the road on a small area, adding a new shed as budget, produce prices allows c) Buy an existing earth moving machinery/ construction/ trucking yard area with fuel/ oil traps etc and convert to an ag machinery base.
Tell your wife ought to be here in my home town at old lion oil plant when the lion has his tail up you can smell it on certain times when the wind 💨 is at certain directions
Ok build a fancy house no chicken facility the birds shot all over the driveway and walkway to the house. That’s stupid. City folk do this all the time then when there sick of walking through chicken shit they give them to somebody else.
@@onelonleyfarmer ok yeah that makes sense. Guess I'll didn't understand at first what you meant in the video when you said it. But yup I know exactly what you mean. I know people that do that with cows here where I live in Michigan
“Someone had this thing in gear”! William gets off the tractor 2 mins earlier 🤔😂
One thing about them 2wd tractors. Can't beat them for maneuverability.
With using a little brake on only one wheel, they turn on a coin!

That old tractor sounds good
Love ya fleet. 👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
We bought a brand new 4230 in 1973 with a sound guard cab, it was the biggest tractor around at the time.
Did anyone else notice the lightning in the clouds to the top left of the screen whilst Wed was loading the tractor and bailer.
Love the videos Mr Pandy.
I thought maybe lightning, you too, then?
@@57fitter yes I thought so, could see it through the layers of the clouds and also in the shot afterwards once all loaded up
I’m sure that rock quarry has run that thing with 50t on tri axles, plus the truck, I’m with you, it’s gotta be 100 ton..
That building at 11:50 is actually a compressor station, and yes is uses natural gas for fuel (some use electric power but most use CNG)
Good video Wes, always working, got to, to make a living in today's society right, Scranton pa, I'm in Cumberland Maryland, hard to find people that want to work nowadays, that unemployment will eventually run out, dc is full of scum now so who knows, thanks for being real Wes. 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
It always makes me sad to drive out thru the country and see all the unused fields.
Yeah. Compression stations just keep pushing the gas through the pipeline and they are noisy has heck. Lot of the old ones are Ingersoll and Rand engines. Spent many of nights in hotels doing surveys for those stations.
I enjoyed the content of the Heston in the shop...wene you 1st got it👍
We got those 10ton bridge signs here in MN. I think their just under rated for liability purposes, I've yet to see one fail
Still plenty of dirt roads running through the Pine Barrens in NJ. I hope they stay that way...
You were only 20 minutes west of me! I'm guessing you went 81 North and got off in Lenox? We don't have the gas production on our side of the county.

You should do an equipment tour.
He has before but it's been quite a while

Sometimes they post a lower weight limit on some Bridges on purpose, for various reasons. You already know the reasons 😉!!!
Your Corn value price should be going up. We have lost corn in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois already this year due to micro burst and duratios.
But USDA said everything is fine LOL:) Never underestimate the power of the gubmint to screw you... LOL:) OL J R :)
Poor Tim! No old baler to put a smile on his face! That's more then a 10 ton bridge unless they're is something majorly wrong underneath!! Enjoyed the trip to pa!
4230 got to go for a ride
Well, what do where have here, the 7410 without the loader.
I don’t think that area of pa has anything except narrow roads
Beautiful area though
Nothing crazy about metal detecting I do it it pays off and exciting and good exercise
The onelonelyfarmer needs to invest in the big shed for his gear
And a much deserved shop
It is usually a good idea to have your name on a land title to park your equipment on, at some stage. (Even a small area of land). Circumstances can change quickly at any time, more so when a person gets over 40. Having a sentimental attachment to family/ relative owned land can have its issues. Be interesting to see what the options other people use. a) Subdivide the 'home farm' land area so the younger generation don't have to buy a large area or pay too high a price at one time. b) Start new yard close down the road on a small area, adding a new shed as budget, produce prices allows c) Buy an existing earth moving machinery/ construction/ trucking yard area with fuel/ oil traps etc and convert to an ag machinery base.
I would be pretty sure he hauls his loads of hay to the mulch barn over that bridge.
Hilly is the blonde chick in Silver Streak
Yeah
Its a ten ton bridge because they can charge gas companies to cross it. Billy goats bluff.

Did you see Dwight's beet farm?

Lot of dirt roads in south eastern Ohio
Never let people drill your land. Might get an initial big payment, but you will lose over all.

So it's stupid if someone has "chicken's and stuff like that"? Guess I don't understand how that's stupid
Ok build a fancy house no chicken facility the birds shot all over the driveway and walkway to the house. That’s stupid. City folk do this all the time then when there sick of walking through chicken shit they give them to somebody else.
@@onelonleyfarmer ok yeah that makes sense. Guess I'll didn't understand at first what you meant in the video when you said it. But yup I know exactly what you mean. I know people that do that with cows here where I live in Michigan
Got rid of a good baler and have trash krone ones
Spoken like a true fool.
@@onelonleyfarmer well said,this fool is only saying this to wind you up wes
