Farm Tractors at work...load it up and spread it out!

What happens here

With the John Deere 5065E tractor positioned near the ABI Classic Spreader, the presenter begins the connection process. He first lowers the tractor's drawbar. He then proceeds to attach the four hydraulic hoses from the spreader to the tractor's quick-connect hydraulic ports, ensuring they are wiped clean to prevent contamination. Finally, he connects the PTO (Power Take-Off) shaft from the spreader to the tractor's PTO stub. He uses a specialized 'PTO Link' adapter, explaining its function in allowing flexible rotation for easier alignment of the PTO shaft without having to start the tractor.

Goal: The ABI Classic Spreader is connected to the John Deere 5065E tractor, involving the attachment of the PTO shaft and hydraulic lines. A PTO Link is used to simplify the PTO connection process.

but fertilizer so we always shut her down before we start hooking stuff up back here this is connected with four hoses a PTO shaft and a pin is absolutely attached to this tractor it ain't no doubt about it we're going to go ahead and we're going to slip the PTO link we're gonna do that last actually we're gonna go ahead and hook up our hydraulic hoses everything's here we have two sets of lines before I plug them in I'm gonna wipe them off I got a rag over here keep a rag on your tractor guys so you can want these hydraulic lines off before you hook them up no use in introducing any trash that you don't have to into your system these are the quick attach type hydraulic lines for a tractor I think they're called pioneer couplers correct me if I'm wrong I have two small hoses and two big hoses ones label with a black zip tie that tells me this one's labeled with a black zip tie then it goes together without pressing it now I have an extension brought back from my loader arm okay and that's what I'm gonna raise the gate when you see this thing in action there's a gate on the rear I'll show it to you in a second but it opens up and allows them when you were to flow towards the back so this is the extension that I have right here and let's talk a little bit about education educational moment this is the first tractor I ever bought I had no idea of what to look for all I was looking for is something that was in the 50 to 70 horsepower range and something that was affordable in my budget and it was four-wheel drive little did I know that I needed two rear remotes I didn't know that so now I have to run this extension up to my loader arm handle which is right here and makes it a bit of a pain so I'll disconnect these guys these quick connects and oftentimes they are not very quick and then we'll reconnect our other connectors John Deere really did me right man they they took this tractor in they did a clutch on it they stood by their work which is awesome and they neatened up this whole area I'm really happy about that I'll go back to them for sure so let's fire it up and get cooking wait we can't do that we got to show you the PTO link come on this is as simple as I can explain it this is not a how-to video I am NOT a pro at this the PTO link comes like this there's a pin we will pull out set that to the side this is how it connects well there's another pin right here so we push that I get or pull it get your call out of detent and it releases your PTO shaft…
