COOL FARM TOOLS EXPLAINED...NO-TILL SEED DRILL...SEE HOW IT WORKS!!

What happens here

The presenter connects the two main hydraulic lines from the seed drill to the rear secondary hydraulic ports on the John Deere tractor. He suggests wiping down the connections and then securing the hydraulic lines with zip ties to prevent them from becoming loose, flopping around, or getting pinched by moving parts during operation. He mentions learning this lesson from prior experience with damaged lines.

Goal: Establish hydraulic connection and prevent line damage

Tools and materials

  • Hydraulic Lines — Transmitting hydraulic power from the tractor to the seed drill
  • Tractor — Providing hydraulic power connections
  • Work Gloves — Hand protection
  • Zip Ties — Securing the hydraulic lines to prevent movement and damage

the tractor okay I'll show you what we have to do here we are at the back of the seed drill here okay these tubes that you're seeing down here is what the seed drops down into okay and we'll show you how all the adjustments work this is the hydraulic setup and these two hydraulic lines right here go straight over here I have some zip ties all set these zip ties down they go right over here into our rear secondary hydraulics okay so we'll give them a little wipe down it's good to have gloves for this and we'll pop our secondary hydraulics loose right there okay now here our hydraulics we don't want our secondaries this is for the front the grapple on the front of the tractor we don't want them flopping around here so that's why we have zip ties so we'll zip tie these guys up to where they'll be in a good safe place out of the way and they won't get pinched ask me how I learned this okay alright guys so here are hydraulic lines and we'll hook those into our rear secondary remotes and all you do is just push them into place and they lock right in just like this okay and they're locked into place now we need to take a look at our Dalek lines now our hydraulic line cannot just be flopping around all over everywhere but we see they've already put some rope on here and the rope is kind of loose so we got to know this is what happens when they flop around everywhere they'll get pinched right inside there so we've got to find a way to support these and once again that's why we need our zip ties so what I learned last time is you got to take care of your hydraulic line so we'll go down here with our zip tie and we'll just zip tie this guy right up here to our three-point hitch thing I forgot what that's called guys tell me what that thing's called I forgot what it was what it's called I know everybody knows what it is so now you can see our hydraulic lines are free-floating but they're not gonna get into anything down here okay next thing we'll show you how to adjust the hoppers
