Maintenance Week

40 week
120 month

This week I just did a bunch of preventative maintenance on some equipment around the farm getting geared up for next month's field work. Lots of greasing zerks on the discs and plows we use. Changed one of the bearings on the disc blade. I also changed the oil on 4 tractors and 2 silage dump trucks.

Milk tank destruction

40 week
80 month

This week I spent the whole week with a torch cutting 2 old milk tanks into pieces to send to scrap. I learned if you cut the pieces small enough you won't need a forklift to load them on the trailer.

Pretty slow week just did a bunch of preventative maintenance on some tractors oil changes and coolant flushes. Also I changed 2 tires on the silage truck and installed a new cb radio system in it. I learned that changing tires by hand without a machine never gets easy.

Trailer wiring

40 week
160 month

This week I rewired a hay trailer it took me all week to run new wiring and redo the lights with new ones. I learned that if you take your time and measure right you will have enough wiring. I ended up having to rerun the negative because I was a foot short lesson learned.
