Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarSpotted this teaching aid in the corner of the farm equipment hall.Can never resist something like that. So amazing to look into a machine and see what's going on.It's no longer used, the rest is modern equipment (including some John DRMeere), but at least they kept this around 👍<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Teaching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Teaching</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/CutAway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CutAway</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Farm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farm</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Education</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/School" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#School</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Alanta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alanta</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Mechanics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mechanics</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarThis contraption has been sitting outside the garage for ages. Finally got around to inspecting it. It's a <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a> chain flail mower, no respect for life edition.Connects to tractor, PTO gearbox driving a rotating disc below with two short lengths of chain attached.That is how chain flail mowers are normally built, except they have a steel cage around them because they fling stones and the occasional chain.Also, it's way too close to the rear wheels.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Farm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farm</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Treasure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Treasure</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarLooks like quite a good deal with all those accessories!

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarPicked the best of the old roller triplet and filled it with water ballast. I did actually find a cap for them in the garage junk, but it was too rusted and bent to fit, so I just made a wooden bung and banged it in with some inner tube.Held fine but was quite difficult to pry back out after! The former mud pit is now blended with woodchips, hay and rolled somewhat flat. Could be more level, but oh well. I'll sprinkle some grass seed and see what happens.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Roller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Roller</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarWish I could find a manual for this thing. Or service instructions or anything.Not much out there. It has hypoid gear oil in it, which I determined by sniffing and rubbing (thick fluid with sulfur smell) and there is what is probably a fill level bolt, but it's all guesswork.There's a few Japanese stickers but they're mostly safety warnings, telling you to not stick your arm into the rotating blades, yo.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Iseki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iseki</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Rototiller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rototiller</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Manual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manual</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarGarden tilled. The rotavator dug up a brick, a few more concrete chunks, some plastic, a pipe and a massive fucking steel beam. Luckily it seems I didn't break any of the tines. The guard door on the right was bent slightly, but it was easy to unbolt and bang straight again, didn't even chip the paint. Japanese steel won over Soviet steel 😁 Figured out what the feedback lever does, too!Some tricky driving to get in the corners.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Rotavator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rotavator</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garden</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soil</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Digging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Digging</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DIY</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarShort work day because morning shenanigans in town, but then I retrieved the rotavator from the tractor barn. Fixed a few small problems and greased all the things, as it was nicely painted but not a drop of grease anywhere.Some studying of Japanese manuals (translated) and wrestling the thing on and off the 3PH twice and then... magic!Turning the concrete field into fluffy garden soil. At sunset, sadly, so just a quick test run.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Rotavator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rotavator</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Iseki" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iseki</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Farm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farm</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gardening</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soil</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarAfter I finally got the beam out of the garden, I hooked up the other end and turned it 90 degrees so it can go thick end first towards the gate behind which I want it to be.But before I can pull it the rest of the way, I had to tidy up the other beams spread out in the yard. Luckily our tractor fits between fruit trees, sheds and old bee hives and I could pull them all into a pile, one at a time. One shattered!This took the rest of the day 😓<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Concrete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Concrete</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Beam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Beam</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Cleanup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cleanup</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarEarly tractors were wild. This here is a "road locomotive" plowing an entire field at once.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDj45zF-l0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xDj45zF-l0</a><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Locomotive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Locomotive</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steam</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Engineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Engineering</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarFinal result: Moved it about 3m. Just too bloody heavy.I tried many things. The wheel lever worked, but was a lot of work to reset (steel wheel very heavy). Shortening up the chain and lifting it with the three point hitch hydraulics worked equally well and a lot faster, but the wheels just dig in and lose traction. Maybe double tyres 😁Also learnt that a front ballast for the tractor doesn't do anything. At least not a 100kg one (me standing on the front bar hopping up and down).<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a>

Y⃒̸̷̝̜̙ͥͥͥngmarOk, giving up for now. I'll check how long I need the beam to be for the sawmill foundation and then I'll cut it into parts.It's just too heavy to pull from the soft soil there. Dug over half the yard with the wheels. Broke off the concrete crown with the chain. Even fetched the stone sled from the forest and winched it onto that (actually winched the sled under the beam, because beam don't move). Even with that it won't budge more than a few mm at a time.<a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homestead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homestead</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Farm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Farm</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Tractor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tractor</a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Concrete" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Concrete</a>
