(20,000 characters)show is awesome this thing is huge man if you guys have never been to the ntion farm machinery show you got to go just to check it out it's just huge hey guys we're at the national farm machinery show we're starting off in the tym bo we got some fancy schmancy YouTubers here so introduce yourself man I'm Adam Hometown Acres I'm CJ M 5 plus1 for Mount plus one that's and I'm Hank Hilton yeah hamiltonville Farm Hamilton it's just Hank Hamilton Hank it's just Hank Hamilton nowt okay more hamiltonville Farm not for tractors not for yeah nice nice we got other guys over here too so we got Evan with with Country View over here right and Tony Tony with Tony's tractor Adventure we're going to find all these guys and shove a camera in their face guys welcome to farm machinery show we drove all the way from North Carolina through the Blazing snow uphill both ways Barefoot let's have some fun Chris Wingfield Wingfield American hero All American Steel all americ All American made yes sir this is what what is this this is the Wingfield contractor Harrow it's a brand new Harrow we came out it's a framed model the nice thing about this it has a skid steer mount on one side and on the other side we have a category 1 two or three tractor Mount so you can hook up to a skid steer or a tractor the other nice thing is it connects the Harrow to the frame with chains so if you want to go from the aggressive to the less aggressive you just have to drop the chains drive around the other side so you can push or pull with a hero in whatever time angle you want to be harrowing and exciting so tell me about a drag hero first of all we need to know how did you get into the business of building drag herrow like this I mean we have been selling drag hero since 1975 so we are well vered we started on our family farm using them in our row crops but what we found over the years is instead of row crops pastures has overtaken everything as far as Harrows you want to break up that manure thatch A8 overseas but then again we found you can use it inse Aras on gravel driveways food plots beaches yep now I use this on my gravel driveway all the time this machine happens to be on the farm where we're going to be testing it out using a skid steer plate so this is a quick attach it'll fit on any tractor with a quick attach steer attach and you don't have to remove any of this you can just set it down and move right over the other side right absolutely yeah so you can push or pull you have full control over that Harrow aggressive or less aggressive now with a gra a drag herrow you have the tin and they drag like this that's when they're the most that' be the most aggressive and then when they're laying flat would be the least aggressive gotcha so when they're going this way is that more aggressive yeah that'd be well when they're pulling this way they let here I can show you right here on this this time right here so we have these timeses when you're pulling it this direction they all stand up in the aggressive mode when you're pulling it the other direction they lay flat so you can kind of pull it either direction if it's too aggressive and the most aggressive you can do that or you can ride it on its back you can ride it upside down so you have the option three different ways to pull in this Harrow right here now for manure for dragging passers we want you in the most aggressive generally that way you're just going to be working more per pass and getting that those kind stirring through that manure breaking the do nice awesome well now you know how to take big poopy parts and make them into little poopy parts and we'll see this on the farm soon man thank you we ran into none other than Tony from Tony's tractor Venture Tony hello where's your wife I have no idea she around here she's handing out bags she's handing out bags right over there man she loves handing out bags she hands them T TM bags out at every show it's her it's her passion see I see more of them floating around the show than anywhere else she she uses she's like this is how I break the ice I just talk to people yeah you hand out a bag and start talking to people it'll do it and by the end of three days you're like I'm there I'm getting close there already check out Tony's Channel Tony's tractor Adventure right right Tony's tractor Adventure I'll post a link down there in the video description for you guys Tony does awesome tractor review stuff tool reviews stuff like that yep a whole nine yards homesteading at its best well not necessarily but we do our bet we do our best yeah at its best let's go have some fun go get to the CH go all right guys so we got some other social media Medi ites right here who we got here I'm Evan from Country viiew Acres Evan softspoken very nice guy great Channel watch it all the time one of the few channels I subscrib to and Lucas from Peaks Peak hobby Homestead and Luke just interviewed me about the worst and best tractor did he interview you to well he he just asked me about this one okay about this one right here so guys check out their Channel it'll be links down in the video description we're cruising around the show checking things out you got anything to say to the American public you caught me off guard on that one let's go so we got BART BART BART how you doing from chore Warrior guys's hand is like this wide it's like grabbing a back sack of bananas he's got a big old hand man I don't get that much so Bart is here and we're at the chore Warrior Booth chore Warrior is an electric wheelbarrow right electric cart yep electric equipment mover around like trailer mover tra mover we can do all kinds of things we we'll get to that in a moment yeah I want to show you this though yeah show us what we got first thing you need to know is these motors they're all steel cut gears no nylon nothing's going to strip out of here the batteries battery cases mount underneath it's a standard pair of 12vt AGM batteries wired in series for 24 volts this is your motor and Axle it's a limited slip differential so if one tire bogs down the other will pull it through we've got a redefined brand new throttle system for this year it's got powered reverse on it on off battery indicator and throttle oh right here on the handle that handle is right here on CH Warrior wheelbarrow so it's almost it looks like kind of a motorcycle grip with a thumb actuator kind of like a four-wheeler like an ATV on it is thumb operator yeah now we were going to do this like a motorcycle the thumb operator is much better because this can be handled and operated onehanded yeah and this invention kind of came about with a fella in his backyard having a concrete project and was so tired of rolling the wheelbarrow full of concrete he was looking for he thought why don't why isn't my wheelbarrow motorized yeah so he figured he'd go online and buy one yeah he couldn't find anything for under $2,000 so he started playing with different Motors we moov Wheels forward mov back we've got a dump race on there what is neat about the dump brace is that with the typical wheelbarrow that's about all you get right with this you can tip it all the way forward and Shake all and you're also not on the tub you're on the dump brakes gotcha so you're not tearing the front of your wheel bear up exactly and these things are tough as nails too I mean they really are charging port right there yep you've got a charging port you can plug it in to charge now I hear you have a habit of laying down in this is that I do I do I give people tries they want to see how it works yeah we turn it on I want to see how it works okay I'm going to sit here what do you weigh about 120 I'm yeah right not since fourth grade I'm 285 lbs 285 super balanced okay I got two fingers on here right now uh for my trigger for reverse right now it's a variable speed yep so it's not full throttle all the time charge indicator right there and we're going to go up this ramp back me up yeah take me up the ramp here there we go one-handed yep all right right now something new you guys got to whoa feel that really pull let off we've got Dynamic breaking yep so it won't run down on you when you let off the throttle nice that's whether you're going forward or reverse so if you're taking a load downhill the motor starts to get away from you you let off on the throttle and it'll stop nice so it's holding itself in place right now absolutely yeah and you are again about 120 so yeah about 120 you got it all right well thanks man chore Warrior guys uh where can people find chore Warrior we're online at chore warrior.com we're based out of St Paul we do all the assembly manufacturing there we can ship anything anywhere we got another celeb right here eating beef stick this is Stanley beef stick dirt monkey genetic from Minnesota oh yeah don't you know I can speak fluid Min even with the MTH full of jerky and we forgot to mention the tow hitch before uh uh so for moving trailers around this tow hitch mounts up to the cart system or the frame system and you can mount uh a ball hitch on and move trailers around in your property you have a tour Warrior I have seven of them seven yes we got to talk about this he's hogging all the chore Warriors yeah well my guys take them yeah they love them so all your Crews have a chore Warrior oh hell yes huh the cart mainly or the the wheelbarrow wheelbarrow yeah the the wheelbarrow is hands down my favorite because of so many things I mean you know you got an ATV battery in the bottom of it so if that ever craps out on you you take it to Batteries Plus you flip it over you put two new batteries in and you're back in business I've gone 3 days without plugging it in three 3 days without recharging it so it's not like you got to hike that thing back every night and charge it and plug it in and when you do want to plug it in Josh it just goes into a 110 outlet and boom Bobs your uncle nice cool another famous YouTuber he's more famous he's more famous he's better he's famouser fam we ran into another fancy YouTuber Ed Josh we're very fancy here aren't we big fancy YouTube this is my cloer garage tell them all about yourself hey well I'm really happy to meet up with you this is fun yeah uh it was great being here at the equip Expo and now here at the farm machinery show which is just massive is this your first time here to the far time this show okay this is big isn't it it is Big it's huge huge stuff that's just totally irrelevant to to me and what I do and what you do too right yeah so my channel you know we've got a smaller smaller property than yours but we've got a 33 Acre Farm with a lot of wooded areas so we're doing a lot of outdoor content and some firewood content a lot with the compact tractor yeah so all the all the kind of rural lifestyle rural living that we do and you know located in in Southern New Jersey which is a surprise for a lot of people when they see the scenery and that we're in a very R area yeah New Jersey is a very agricultural State uh however most people see New Jersey and they think Jersey sure look at our license plate we're the Garden State the Garden State yeah that's right exactly so we're at the Mahindra booth now what kind of tractor are you running on your place now I have a cabota b2601 compact tractor okay that 2601 that's a little 24.8 horsepower little Kabota diesel be that precise I think so yeah yeah yeah yeah for some reason I have odd precis that's going on uh you think about something big like this on your place that cool I think I think this would be fun but it would probably be a little too big for me yeah I'm undersized right now and underpowered yeah but something like this would be a little too much every man needs a 75 80 horsepower tractor so I had an old John Deere that I could barely turn around in the drive it was so big it it was fun but I couldn't use it so good stuff guys check out my clutter garage there'll be a link in the video description we're just visiting with all the YouTubers today I think we got like nine of them so yeah thanks man good to see you here brother thanks let's have some more fun wo talk about 2024 2025 Rock so this is a 2025 model um it's a turbo diesel 2.7 L tier 4 compliant but there's no DPF no scr if you come up here into the front very easy to service we have the turbo up here on the top it's a four cylinder common rail fuel injected you have your fuel filter it's serviceable it's a screw on type fuel filter primer pump on top with the lift pump full steel tube frame you have um 538 gears front and rear it's a 5-speed manual with high low transfer case so you have two high four low four high you can independently run those um it's available in an open station that you see here and a cab model only difference between the two powertrain doesn't change the only difference is the cab model have heat AC and the cab where the base model doesn't have heater AC you can always add those after the fact though here on the firewall you'll see the provisions for oh yeah where it goes right through yeah right through here super easy to service oil filters right down here fuel filters right down here so 5-speed transmission high and low high low and does it have lockers like uh for the rear and front diff or um they're open diffs but you can get lockers Spartan makes a ratchet style Locker for it um you can get Ox box depending on how if you're an enthus right Locker makes an a locker for it strains makes an axle kit for it so you go Chrome m in the front if you're a really big Enthusiast you want to run 33in tires um if you're more on the Enthusiast side I would say that you can get up to almost a 31 1/2 in Tire on Factory if you run a negative offset that negative offset will push that wheel out so that when you're turning you're not going to make contact with the frame nice nice now this kind of plays uh a little homage to the uh of of yesterday right very similar very similar we built that for the US government for the Asia campaign back in World War I so it's very similar in design um we still run this in India it's called the th D um but here in the state side um this will come with an MSO as a UTV so as long as your state allows you to run a small plate you'll be able to do that with this unit nice so you can make these Road Road ready you can put turn signals do they come with turn signals too they do not come with turn signals you have light brake lights you'll have a park brake um they do make a turn signal kit for it in the aftermarket there are Provisions in the dash to put that in there it's a push button for on and off and I do see enthusiasts they'll do a turn signal stock style they wire it in Fairly simply do um fairly cheap as well we make winch mounts for it different style bumpers you can do a Pinel style hitch in the back you can do a 2 and 1/2 in square receiver up to a class three does a 1500lb bed capacity Ching capacity is about the weight of get the vehicle you're about 3,200 lb now with the old Willis they used to have a PTO option do you have a PTO option on one of these unfortunately not yet um but we're talking about that be awesome maybe in the near future a couple years down the road cool Mahendra Roxer thanks buddy always guys we ran into another fun YouTuber here Brian from Brian's farming videos uh where are you from chil Cy Ohio I Ohio so not very far from us probably about 7 hours from us in North Carolina uh how's things going for you how's the show going pretty good um feet are tired knees hurt ready feet tired knees hurt yeah yeah this it's it's odd how this will affect the feet the hips and the legs it does I keep trying to find the right Footwear for this show every Brun Footwear is what you have on right it is it is I don't know that it matters though no after 3 days uh roll with the Nike bro this is it the Nike Pegasus is the travel shoe it is perfect this is a size clown awesome shoe what size are you wear uh 13 14 13 14 yep yep we'll have to get you uh this is definitely not not sponsored Brian's farming videos guys check them out so guys we're cruising around the national farm machinery show here in Louisville Kentucky again we found the hydraulic pressure relief tool that's what it does I mean it couldn't be more simple have you guys ever tried to hook up and Implement to uh a tractor or skid steer whether it's a flat face connector like this or whether it's a Pioneer type connector uh it's always a pain in the butt especially on a hot summer day you've got pressure in there say you leave your grapple open and it starts to close down on you uh you build up pressure so it's always a struggle and every farmer or everybody that's ever hooked up to a skid steer have grease across the bottom of their pants and we'll let you tell them that I guess that's how you guys came up with this right yeah instead of hitting the thing against the draw bar yeah yeah we made a tool that you can actually you know back off Connect up yes connect up so you basically to backen it off so you connect it to the high pressure line yep and this would be the Implement so say a grapple a rock picker whatever it might be disc you know coloror and then you turn around and you crank this in and you have this of course in your EPA proof can and uh you crank this in it releases the pressure so then when you can just flip it off pressures off your line and you can hook it up to your tractor yeah get to in the past so some of these have a ball type on here and some of these have a little Point type on there I don't know how frustrating it is to take this and Bash it on on your Implement like whack to try pop that pressure off and this relieves that pressure instantly and then You' got one for skid steer quick attach too set this to the side basically the simple design here you unscrew this relief valve right here this will go down this connects up to your skid steer flat face quick attach so it's connected up to the Implement you screw that in as you screw it in it breaks the seal hydraulic fluid comes out right here you can pop it Loose then hook it right up to your Implement and you don't have to strut strugle cuz most people will crack the line on on this Implement so say this is a line that comes off your Implement they'd crack that line to bleed it off and put it back together so taking it apart putting back together causes leaks this solves all that problem yep cool where can somebody find this they can find it at uh polych you get on poly po.com is our website poly. po.com po.com hopefully we'll see some of these on the farm soon guys so we got somebody else Super Famous we just met here that's right Farms of Nashville Nashville Indiana that's right Nashville Indiana tell them who you are so so Peterson from Nashville Indiana Peterson Farms
