@Der Seeteufel - SD how’s the arm?

2018-07-07 18:03:00 UTC  

It's good. I've got full use of it as long as I don't bump into anything.

Combining with the wind. It gets a little dusty

2018-07-07 21:55:45 UTC  

Getting ready to move on to the next field driving down the highway with this header should be fun.

I went and put the header down on the bumblebee. It was triggering my autism worse than the John Deeres being out of order.

@Grossly Incandescent it's pretty much exactly like that.

2018-07-11 22:58:45 UTC  

I’m guessing that field must be very dry for that 18 wheeler to not get stuck.

2018-07-11 23:31:56 UTC  

It's dry there that's why that grain cart has such big tires though. That's what goes out in the field with the combines so we can dump on the move.

2018-07-11 23:41:55 UTC  

What brand tires do y'all buy for your agricultural equipment?

2018-07-11 23:46:52 UTC  

Pretty much what ever is cheapest or comes with the equipment.

2018-07-11 23:53:49 UTC  

The tractor I'm in right now has Michelin.

2018-07-12 00:02:19 UTC  

Do you see any significant variations in tire performance between brands or models when you replace them? Like how long they last, their resistance to punctures, their level of grip in soggy conditions, etc?

2018-07-12 00:12:11 UTC  

I haven't been around long enough yet but I'd say it probably isn't that noticeable. According to my boss some different brands are literally produced in the same factory and just get a different name stamped on the side. They are internally identical.

2018-07-12 00:55:07 UTC  

Double jump start. Don't try this at home.

2018-07-12 01:24:12 UTC  

You all don’t want me to sperg out on tires. There are many differences in the brands. The type of work Andrews equipment is in doesn’t effect them very much but in many conditions they do.

2018-07-12 01:24:43 UTC  

So we had a hydraulic rupture on the mower tractor.

2018-07-12 01:25:17 UTC  

Luckily we have bigger tractors.

2018-07-12 01:26:19 UTC  

We probably didn't need to go that big it's just the one we had in the yard. That's why we needed the jump start.

2018-07-12 01:27:27 UTC  

The trials of being a farmer. When your stuff is broken you need to fix your other equipment to get it going again.

2018-07-12 01:33:58 UTC  

@JesseJames I do want you to sperg out about tires. I’m a gearhead, I started a new job that works regularly with tires, and I enjoy sperging out on things.

2018-07-12 01:41:47 UTC  

In the limestone mine field tires are a huge expense to my clients. I track every out that tire runs and can tell my customers how much they are paying per hour to run those tires. There is a lot of technology that goes into quarry tires and each brand has specific quarry branded lines of tires. My other customer base is the excavating field. Those are tracked in the same manner but usually they do not run as long because of the conditions they are ran in. I have a good diagram with examples of each style and how they’re constructed.

2018-07-12 01:50:51 UTC  

We run in pretty soft soil. Our tires can last quite a long time. Antlers do the most damage to them.

2018-07-12 01:56:00 UTC  

Highways are also hard on our tires.

2018-07-12 01:57:22 UTC  

We probably put more wear on the tires moving from one field to another than we do actually working the field.

2018-07-12 02:04:12 UTC  

@JesseJames can you post that diagram? I'd like to see it.
