FARM EQUIPMENT FUN!

What happens here

The host attaches the ABI Classic Spreader to the John Deere 5065E tractor. This involves two main connections: first, the PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft is connected to power the spreader's internal mechanisms, and second, a hydraulic hose is connected to control the rakers inside the spreader. He notes that the spreader has two hydraulic hookups; one is for the rakers (which push manure to the rear), and the other is for an optional gate, which he initially doesn't connect. After making the connections, the jack from the spreader is removed.

Goal: Connect the ABI Classic Spreader to the John Deere tractor's PTO and hydraulic system for operation.

okay so to hook up the manure spreader we basically drop a pin pretty tight fit and then we hook up our PTO Shack pretty simple and then there is we've got two hydraulic hookups what we're only gonna hook up one of them today and that is to spin the spreader on the rear of the machine pretty simple just plug them in and we're ready to rock and roll I am again take the jack out - very nice let's show you how that manure spreader works so you've seen how it hooks up and got a PTO shaft we have two hydraulic hookups one hydraulic hook-up is for this gate right here which we're not going to hook up today because we're not going to use it the other hydraulic hook-up moves these rakers and that's what ranks some when you are towards the rear of the manure spreader now if we come back here this is what's driven by the PTO shaft these are the flappers or the smackers or whatever you want to call them that spread the manure out now
