This is exciting. I've gotten a new tool, specifically a Formlabs 3D printer setup, and wow, it's going to open up some new possibilities in the future! Enjoy patrons! Building A Hydro Generator Turbine Assembly, Version 2. (YouTube)

Hey patrons. This vid got held up for a few reasons, but mainly because of a sponsor. I'm going to post the public version next Wednesday, because reasons... Basically they were slow getting product to me, but their rules are it has to go live in September. SMH. Anyway, this is a perfect opportunity

Apparently youtube has cracked down on AI generated content. I had one 2 second clip in that video that was AI generated and that was enough to blacklist the video. I'm uploading a new version now. It should be ready for viewing within 30 minutes. I'm posting the link here but it won't be viewable u

Farm Fuel tanks are very necessary, but also can be a point of concern. There's thousands of dollars of fuel in them that you don't want leaking out onto the ground. When do you scrap? Do you buy used or new? It's surprisingly difficult to tell the best answers. Dozer tribute at the end. I Try To Fi

I hate this, but I've got to let people know, so here goes. If you aren't in a mood to take some sad news then you should stop reading now. Yesterday morning we got up and everything seemed normal, just as it had been the day before. Dozer was out for the night like he always is. He usually stays ou

This is the first real haul since I did all the fuel system work. Enjoy patrons! First Haul With The Detroit Diesel After Repairs. Is It Fixed? (YouTube)

I'd like all feedback as usual, but on a couple things in particular for this video. One, I feel like I'm down in the weeds a bit in this video, with engineering and doing math calculations. But it's necessary to understand what's going on and to be able to build the best system, so all I could do w

Thought you guys might like a sneak peak of my workbench. Yep. We are deep into this one!

I hate to do it, but here it is! I'm making progress on the next video but it won't be ready until next week. Lots going on, working on multiple things, just nothing ready right now unfortunately. I'm thinking I should have split that Detroit engine repair into 2 or 3 videos, because I think more pe

Had a great time! It's good for me to talk with other Youtubers and discuss the ins and outs. It recharges me and re-focuses me, I think. And the guys from Fluke gave me a new multimeter for free. Gotta love that! Problem is, I don't know when the next video will be coming. I was burning the candle

I took out the Incogni integration and turned ads off in this video which won't go public. A different video with the integration will publish on Friday while I'm at Open Sauce. Looking forward to that! Enjoy Patrons! Patrons only - Batwing Cutter Overhaul (YouTube)

Took longer than expected, both in fixing it and editing it! Enjoy folks! Dump Truck Injector Repair (YouTube)

Good news: I'm making good progress on the dump truck. Bad news: Can't get the video done for this week. I was really hoping I'd be able to, but it's just not going to happen. More good news: The video is going to be pushing 2 hours I think. This is quite a job! I'll have it ready for you guys early

Enjoy patrons! And thank you for your support! Using A Skid Steer Boom Mower Around The Farm. (YouTube)

My previous record actually generating was 420 watts. That's quite a difference! Achieving 1030 Watts Continuous Power on My DIY Hydro Electric System (YouTube)

Going for the maximum possible power with this one. Enjoy! Hydro18 Max power (YouTube)

First problem? The engine. Kinda wish I hadn't bought this truck, because now I'm faced with what to do with the engine. Re-powering it with a better engine would be expensive and time consuming. So I guess I'll try and see what I can do to keep this old girl running. Enjoy! Dump Truck Repair: Diese

Any of you fine folks have experience with this engine? More specifically, I'm looking for the specialized tools that are for working on the fuel system. To buy or borrow, whatever suits.

I couldn't take it anymore, had to fix the tractor backhoe. Big job! But I also included lots of info that I think folks wanting to rebuild their own cylinders will find useful. Enjoy everybody! Tractor backhoe (YouTube)

I'm starting to think I've gone off the deep end with this project! Lol. But I'm having fun even so! Enjoy patrons! 3D Printed Draft Tube for DIY Hydro Electric – How It Actually Works (YouTube)

Hey folks. Obviously I didn't have a video this week. Lots of work going on, but very time consuming with many hurdles thrown in the way. I should have a video for you guys within the next few days though. And no, I didn't hurt myself...too bad... ;-)

I've wanted one of these for a long time... Buying A Rock Hammer For My Yanmar VIO50 Excavator (YouTube)

Sorry guys. I posted to my second channel and forgot to let you guys know... Bad Jon! I should have this week's video ready by tomorrow. Cheers everybody! FarmCraft101 Stuff. Mud Storm, Dozer, and Stone. (YouTube)

I start out testing some turbines. I end up with a plan. Testing Turbines On The Hydroelectric System. (YouTube)

I'm pretty excited about this one. There's something gratifying about generating electricity in wire that you wound and installed. I don't know, it doesn't seem like it should work, but it does! I had a lot of trouble getting it to render properly, so if you see any quirks or glitches in the video,

I'm always learning something new, and recently I learned that...hydro isn't easy! There's a lot to know, and I've got a lot to learn. Luckily, I enjoy learning new things.

I'm leaving this evening for our family vacation. I'm happy to say I was able to get this video done in time, and I've uploaded a patrons only version for you guys. Let me know what you think of this video. Lots of explanation and visuals, which took quite a while to edit. Fair warning, I won't get

This week's video has an AG1 ad integration in it, so I made you guys a non-monetized version with no ad. Hope you enjoy! I'm heading out on a family vacation the day after x-mas, and I may have another video ready to publish while I'm gone, but I'm not sure yet. There will definitely be some missed

Got the video done, but now I'm just waiting on Victorinox (the sponsor) to give it the ok. There's a chance I'll have to upload a different version, but I wanted to get it out for you folks, so here ya go! Enjoy!

I do have a video for you guys this week, it's just taking a bit to get it ready. Sorry for the delay, but I'll have it for you by the end of the day, one way or another!

I'm posting this on Youtube as well, but wanted to make sure you guys didn't miss it in case you are interested in ordering something for Christmas. They are telling me that orders placed by Dec 15 will arrive in time. Cheers! Shop Official Merch by FarmCraft101 (Dashery)

Progress on the hydro. Good progress. Except for one little detail... Building And Testing A Turbine Driven Hydro Generator. Part 7. (YouTube)

I think I have a way to measure the amount of water flowing with reasonable accuracy. That will be helpful in designing the turbine for maximum efficiency, and also calculating it's efficiency. DIY Hydroelectric. Pipe & Valve Pit Complete. Testing Flow. Part 6. (YouTube)

I removed the sponsor, they will come up in a later video. It's Bambu labs, 3D printer manufacturers. I am going to be 3D printing the turbines that will drive the generator, but I'm just not at that stage of the build yet, so it will be better to save it for later. I'm getting excited, we are defin

I'm waiting on a response from the sponsor. If they don't give me an answer by noon today I will render a patrons only video without the sponsor for you guys and have it viewable by this afternoon. The sponsored portion actually applies to the video enough that it's worth seeing.

Layin' some pipe!! This took a long time to edit. I wanted to explain the thought process and the options, but didn't want it to be too much chatter. Hopefully I found a good balance. Feedback always welcome. Enjoy folks! DIY Hydroelectric, Trenching & Installing The Pipe. Part 4 (YouTube)
