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

What happens here

The video begins with the presenter, Josh from Stoney Ridge Farmer, outlining the day's agenda, which involves utilizing a John Deere tractor to load and spread manure on pastures. He notes that this task is slightly delayed from the ideal fall application period due to a lengthy repair of the John Deere tractor, which required a new clutch that was initially out of balance. He then points to a Massey Ferguson 240 tractor, which he intends to use for tasks, but first needs its battery charged, hinting at a jump-start operation.

Goal: The presenter introduces the day's task: spreading aged manure on pastures to improve soil fertility, acknowledging it's a bit late in the season. He mentions challenges with equipment availability, specifically a John Deere tractor, and the need to jump-start another tractor.
