Putting a new floor in our New Holland 520 manure spreader and we hit some roadblocks and made some hard decisions... #familyfarm, #newholland, #farming,
Thanks. I really enjoy fixing old stuff. We’re not big enough to justify buying more new equipment beyond the tractors and haying gear so we care for what we have. Most old gear can be saved if you take time and know how to weld.
Wow Dave!!! That old spreader looks great!!! I would be honored to haul 💩 with it!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Congratulations on reaching the 1000 subscribers!! Well done guys. You have a great channel
You did a great job on the spreader! I hope you took the time to lay down in it before you use it, something that you probably won't want to do once you use it.
You did a pretty similar restoration like Pete from Just a few acres. You did a fine job. As always "Poop Happens" Good luck on calving season. It can be very rewarding and very stressful. Hope all goes well.
Morning Dave, spreader looks great, one thing about trying to sand Ash that I found as a young guy is that’s it’s harder than woodpecker lips! Good luck with the baby bovines,they’ll be here before you know it.
I would miss the detachable link chains. The link count had to be identical. We used waste oil every year for preservatives. Different times. Thank you Dave.
Nice New spreader!! Ash here, doesn't get used for much, Alder is the big hard wood. Poplar here gets big, but starts rotting when it's small.. seen some 6' at the butt.. 5' of that is rotten, punky stuff. Happy Easter!!
Beautiful restoration job on that spreader. I’ve done a couple myself that Ash has zero rot resistant value. I know you don’t have a lot of choice of rot resistant woods that far north but white Oak would’ve been a better choice if you weren’t gonna use womanized.
Great job, bringing back an old piece of equipment for use on the farm.

Spreader looks great Dave....that floor will outlast me and you. lol. Thanks Dave, have a blessed Easter Sunday.
Thanks I just hope the chain will last a year😅. Happy Easter Brent.

Well done guys.
You have a great channel
Thanks Gary. You’re welcome to help haul😊. I’ll even take you walleye fishing.

Hah! I spent a lot of time laying on it and under it during the rebuild 😅
Good morning Dawn and Dave ☕☕☕
Congratulations on breaking the 1K!!!
Thanks Ed. Now I collect my $4.23 from the big G😅
Almost too nice to haul manure with now! Awesome video Dave!
Maybe I need a second one 😅. Thanks.

Thanks Kevin. Nearly the same spreader but Pete had a lot more repair. I was lucky.

You are correct! I was wishing for pine boards about that time😅
I would miss the detachable link chains. The link count had to be identical. We used waste oil every year for preservatives.
Different times. Thank you Dave.
Yeah wish I had the detachable. Maybe if I get a new chain.
Good job on the spreader. That should last you for a good while now.
Hope so
Luv watching yall up there im in ga i like seeing how it goes up north
Thanks for watching. I have a buddy in Atlanta. We have a very different climate 😳.
Nice New spreader!!
Ash here, doesn't get used for much, Alder is the big hard wood.
Poplar here gets big, but starts rotting when it's small.. seen some 6' at the butt.. 5' of that is rotten, punky stuff.
Happy Easter!!
We get very nice boards from poplar that can be worked like pine, which I don’t have in my woods. Holds up if covered.
Happy Easter Dave and Dawn
congrates to the 1k subs
keep them videos coming
the spreader is looking great
Thanks. Happy Easter.

Yeah I wish I had oak but it’s hard to find around here in large enough trees to mill. I was on the fence between ash and buying pressure treated.
Congrats on 1k subs!
Thank you. I never miss your episodes. Enjoy your kids, cows and equipment.
Ash is poor man’s oak around here.
It’s beautiful chocolate color. Would make nice paneling
