Fitting Hydraulics | DIY Pressure Tester | Cow Update #CRAWFORDSFARM #289

Defender repair attempts, roguing crops, back to a tractor tomorrow, hydraulics

My name is Crawford and I’m a farmer.

Being a farmer is more than a job; it’s a way of life. The good days can involve bringing new life onto the farm or sunny days outdoors whilst on others it's dealing with machinery breakdowns and on the worst days, sometimes animal deaths.

Farming can be isolating at times – away from the busy streets and city life – so this platform brings you closer to the inner workings showing the highs and lows and everything in between.

I hope to bring some context to how the food ends up on your plate, from your Sunday roasts to morning porridge and even the tulips on your kitchen table. Hopefully a bit of agricultural education along the way.

This video captures the latest goings on including crop management and our efforts to increase sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint.

Another enjoyable vid again Crawford that was a cracking tune on the radio Don't stop believing by Journey.

Typical landrover - bonnet is always up however you’ll get a sense of achievement in nailing the problem which will result in swapping everything apart from the paint work 🤣

Cracking video. Good to see the cow making an improvement

[rwumrop]

Great video Crawford hopefully you get to the bottom of it

yes the forklift could do a grand job of it

To find vacuum leak if air and soapy water in spray bottle doesn’t work then smoke test be best option. Seen someone blow cigar smoke into intake pipe to find split pipe before. Good luck

Very entertaining video. Love how you have such a variety of jobs in a day. Hope you get turbo problem sorted.

You should try a wildlife camera discreetly placed to catch fly tipping scrum, even their registration plates

Put a 90 elbow between ram and hose will give you bit of extra lenght to push the corner up a bit and also look tidier.

[davie]

Get a 90 adaptor for the ram and it will tidy up the hose that’s short and make it look a bit neater

[SB-dvih]

Would the container hydraulic pipe be long enough to avoid cutting the corner If you put a 90 degree elbow on the bottom ram fitting ?

[andrewdougal]

Spray the air intakes with brake cleaner to see if the engine note changes to find the leak

[rosslowery]

Are you going to the highland show in Edinburgh??

[robertdundas]

put a 90 on the ram you will gain lots more hose

[James-wubi]

Blacksmith blacksmith Stevie Wonder 😂😂😂😂

[Celtic-jrcn]

Now the question is what would you do to the fly tipper if you had them red handed???. A know what a would do

Crawford get rid of it and get a hilux or Mitsubishi, far more reliable and doesn’t have a land rover badge. Keep it and there’s trouble ahead. Even the dug disnae like it. Always rely on yur four legged friends.
