Eric, thanks for the videos. I'm a disabled veteran, and it seems like my body is just deteriorating from all the meds I am on. I ran the weed eater for 5 minutes this week and my muscles are so sore I feel them at the slightest movement. I grew up on a farm, and I got it in my system, I can't drive my riding lawnmower without it causing a firestorm of aches. I really have enjoyed being your side. Kick. You are very generous. Thanks again. JD from Alabama.
Mom and I took over Dad’s farm after he passed.... I’m grateful I helped Dad fix things, and I can use tools... but glad to have your tips on things I didn’t do often... like tractor stuff.... thank you!
4240 is one of of the best John Deere's large farm I work for has one on the mixer for the past 15 years. It had 25,000 hours on and they had to rebuild the motor, it's now pushing 60,000 and only major break was a new injection pump this summer.
That's not bad. When they started turning the engines sideways in the cars 250 transmission for the front wheel drive on the 87 Oldsmobile you had to take off part of the passenger side fender well to get to the filter.( "To position the transaxle".) I usually change what autocorrect puts in there but this time I thought it was hilarious what it thought I said.
@@EFCasual There is a small plug right under the filter housing that can be removed & put a small container under it so it will drain the oil from the filter before removal, but sometimes, when time doesn't allow, it is much faster to just let the oil run down the frame. Going to powerwash anyway.
Your little smirk when putting on the safety glasses made me chuckle. Love your content of your videos. You do a great of making the simple tasks interesting.
Sign the covenant: "We the undersigned do solemnly pledge not to point out the obvious to 10thGD recognizing that Eric is profoundly intelligent and is probably doing so anyway."
We switched over to a10w-30 oil for colder weather and it makes it a ton easier to crank a diesel in cold weather. When it warms up the next oil change is back to the 15w-40 and we have no issues with wear on the engines. Just an FYI for you.
I laughed so hard when you put your safety glasses on maybe now TH-cam will promote you. Clean machinery is my pet peeve, a clean machine keeps making money. Good video Eric, Aloha brother🤙🏼from the Big Island
Which one is the bid Island? Your other things(editing is) a little sketchy, but I totally agree with you on keeping the Machinery clean. You let the ink build up too much( and as much as){ it will smudge} the bills and then you're finished making money. You see you got to go back and check your comments at least two or three times because that little programmer in Sri Lanka thinks we don't speak the Queens English so good and likes to change everything you said with talk to text
So glad to see you continue to post! Big BIG "Thank You" for all your hard work "keeping in the loop" those who choose to be (and those who are are forced to become) armchair farmers. I love seeing what you're up to everytime you post a daily farm task. I miss using all the varied skills required to productively till God's Green Earth! Keep it real. Ps 143:8 Let me hear your loyal love in the morning...make known to me the way I should walk... FarmerMJ
Yard tractors and skid loaders are the most heartly abused machines on the farm. My Dad used to get hysterical when I'd pull our 4020 in the shop till I'd mention how many hours were on it! Still have it 1969 model with side counsel!
Love your channel for someone who loves milk, I say thank you for all your family does to keep the shelves full. God bless you guys with many years of amazing cows that produce maximum quality milk for you.
Never commented before but will do because it helps you out with you tube! Love your videos, not a farmer but live in a rural area where farming is a major industry. Actually find the vids relaxing, bit if escapism I guess! Thank you for making the effort. Keep up the good work!
Whoever sent you the filter wrench, good job, I don't do maintenance on Motors of any kind but I remember from my auto shop class way back in high school, those are incredibly useful tool. Great video.
Long time viewer, first time commenter....Ok well it's you that mentioned comments, so :). Please show more of the cows. Just hanging out for like for 5 minutes, it might seem boring to you, but city boy here finds it very relaxing :) I love all your videos, thanks for sharing part of your life.
Sorry I cannot afford your tshirts , I’m COVID poor but I try to watch all the ad’s and support you in every way I can! I love your farm family life Eric! Your Dad too!
The inside of the cab looks like a well used farm machine. I think I once suggested that Eric wear safety glasses. Nothing like the satisfaction of watching crud come off with the power washer. I ordered my shirt and am looking forward to wearing it. Thanks for the fun and interesting video.
I use a piece of expanded metal screen on my bucket. This way I can drop the plug on the screen and not get my hands covered with waste oil. Love your videos. From BC.
Hi Eric. We love to watch your videos. We are big fans of your farm. We have a small holding in Co Kerry, Ireland and one day we hope to we as much machinery as you. Hi from Robbie, Lila and Ogie.
Love your videos..... I know this comment has nothing to do with today’s video but haven’t seen your lovely doggies for ages especially Sasha with the twigs/leaves in her mouth ❤️
I’ll add a comment not only because I’ve been meaning to but to boost your TH-cam stats. Like others love the dry humour here and there & the experiences you share. Keep it up!
Looks like the 4240's engine could use a power washing...Great to see you wearing safety glasses...And now you're power washing the 4240 and the new'ish Kubota. Eric - thanks for the video - it was fun to watch. Stay safe and say "Hi" to dad.
That's not old. It runs on diesel and has more than two Pistons, that you turned over by hand with a large heavy flywheel to start it, with a tricycle front end, and a hand clutch. Now that's old. Oh yeah, and across from the flywheel is a flat belt pulley to run the threshing machine, and grinding mill.
Looks clean! You can order whole new decals for the kabota. They are not hard to take off and easy to put new ones back on. It is nice to have things look good for at least a few years.
Great to see you getting the feeder tractor serviced and cleaned out and washed. She is looking well and sounds sweet running to. Pity about the stickers on the skid loader but these things happen Eric. Great video and intresting plus you explained why you put oil on the cell it will save as you said about comments.
LMAO when you looked at camera and put glasses on. You and your family take great care of your dairy farm, keep it up and keep giving viewers something to comment on
Thanks for all the fresh milk for my cereal and cream for my coffee, butter 🧈 for my flapjacks 🥞 and so many other great dairy 🥛 greatness feeding us all!!!
Hey man I live on a dairy farm and I am a full time heavy duty mechanic, I find it funny that people try to tell you how to work, now for all you pros out here oil will make your o ring swell and it makes it harder to remove and may cause a leak. You should use vaseline, engine grease etc with a light a mount you silly goofy potatoe heads any way I love your content man I dont care if you put peanut butter on that o ring its your farm and your equipment thanks for sharing!
Do you ever get very annoyed? No matter what happens you always describe it as a little bit of a problem, a bit of trouble... I appreciate the positive attitude.
What.... no safety glasses while pressure washing???? 😂😂😂. Awesome video doing maintenance. Looking forward to getting my long sleeve shirt!! Cool design 👍🏻👍🏻
Had a rock come sailing at my head shattered the glass. A little scary😂😂 I’ll think about putting that in the video Lol 😂 safety glasses look. Pure upbeat great video THANKS 😍
Those rotary nozzles are nice.... they remove a lot of material, very quickly. But remember.... that's basically zero degree tip. It's just moving in a circle. I've stripped a lot of labels (and paint) off of equipment with those. They'll also put water where you don't want it... inside seals, inside bearings, under o-rings.... Good call on the safety glasses.... gave me a chuckle. :)

You iced out the "safety patrol" viewers with that subtle silent grin in putting those safety glasses on. Pretty slick. ; )
You gotta love that filter position. Makes a oil change extra messy.
That's not bad.

I usually change what autocorrect puts in there but this time I thought it was hilarious what it thought I said.
Yeah, that position is perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with an oily frame.

I affirm!
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 That is the sign of a truly intelligent person.

The face you made putting the safety glasses on made me laugh 😁
👍🏻👍🏻.... and then didn’t wear it them pressure washing. Hilarious 😂 😂😂
Its funny cause you see this comment before opening the actual comment section, so I was just waiting for it to happen. Didn't disappoint🤣
I just take my pliers and open the jaws across the bung and open it that way. But always seem to use the chisel on the breather bung 🤦🏻♂️😂
Hahaha hilarious... where can I get a shirt???
Love those are chair expert’s

The decals on the skid loader sure peeled off easy. I remember when they were pained on with a stencil.
With 267K subscribers, it would be nice if the local dealership replaced the decals.
The look with the safety glasses . . ,
great performence!
Stay tuned!

Your videos are the best. Your parents deserve credit on such great children. You all work so hard. Keep up the great work. Love the cows ❤️
It’s really something to see all that goes on to bring that gallon of milk to the grocery store. You never run out of something to do

Shirt ordered and I can't wait for it to get here! Love watching the power washes and see things go from dusty to shiny.
Thanks for sharing part of your day. Wix makes good filters. Our local parts store is actually running their annual wix filter sale, time to stock up.
The content that you provide is very real and very practical. Thank you very much for sharing.
OH, THE JOYS OF HAVING A CHANNEL! Have to laugh at what you have to go through. Congratulations for doing so for us.
Good job lubricating the oil filter gasket and the safety glasses! Seriously, I enjoy your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Nice 42. My boss started with a 4230 and a five bottom plow back in 73, and let's just say 8000 acres later, we're at were we are today.
you have made this pandemic a little bit easier to get through. My husband and I look forward to every "episode"

Eric, I love your sense of humor! I could watch you all day! Good video!
Hello Eric, thanks for the video. I always look forward to the next one. Stay healthy and safe. God bless you and your family.
Love the 4240! Love that it is part of your childhood memories too!
I don't think I've ever ordered a hoodie so fast 😂 glad to be able to support you after all the entertainment you provide!
The dilemma about oiling the gasket 😂. At least your honest about it! Haha! Great video as always!
We had a new 3020 JD when I was a kid. - Nice to see yours cleaned.

Cant understand why i enjoy this type of video so much!!!
From a non-farmers perspective there is nothing better than seeing the equipment getting a nice pressure wash.
Sorry I cannot afford your tshirts , I’m COVID poor but I try to watch all the ad’s and support you in every way I can! I love your farm family life Eric! Your Dad too!
Look forward to your posts - funny how one chore leads to another, but pressure washing actually looks like fun! Thanks for sharing- God Bless!
That whole safety glasses bit cracked me up dude...thanks
Awesome video as usual. As fellow farmers and neo-youtubers you're a constant inspiration. Keep it up! Kudos from Italy 🇮🇹

My Father love his John Deere when he was farming. It was sure a step from a team of horses.
Love your content! I think people would love more interaction with the cow ! The video you made were they were jumping and running outside was great !
"Ok...so now while I have the pressure washer out, I might as well clean the......."
The time loop that has many a farmer trapped forever.
The smile when putting the glasses on was precious
I think the best part about being a farmer is the variety of thinks you can do in a day I wish my job was like that
Great video! I'm pretty confident you know what your doing. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait for the next one
The best farming channel on TH-cam!
of course you'll now get the "You applied the oil in the wrong direction " comments lol
He needs to rotate the air in the tires next! Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@jolive7953 that's a bugger to do when they're full of chloride.
