    Interesting to see how they are planted and also the different irrigation method used. I work at an almond orchard in Australia (NSW) and we just use the drip lines full of holes. But do like the idea of the sprinklers.

    hey Ryan i reached out to you on Instagram recently via direct message and my message to you got cut off. anyway i am new to the modesto area (moved for new job) and i am wondering if you can point me in the direction of local resources like clubs or associations to help in my goal of purchasing a 10 to 20 acres of third or fourth leaf almond orchard in the turlock/modesto area. i believe this small size is considered a hobby farm which i the investment i can currently afford. thank you for your time and help. ps i have many years of prospecting the merced river and it's tributaries. the bucket dredge tailing piles can produce some nice gold with a metal detector. thank you for your time and help.

    That’s some beautiful country this time of year. That part at the end reminded me of Dr. Cover’s soil class tour of hardpan. All that land was nothing but pasture at the time, it’s amazing what a little D11 action and some drip will do.

    Nice, I have a 64 Loadstar 1800 with the Perkins 6.354 turbo diesel. Full air brakes, hydraulic power steering, and 25,500 gvw. IH 5 speed with 2 speed 18.5k axle. Oddly optioned Loadstar. The door tag says 150.2 hp, and the governor limits rpm's when shifting. Runs and drives nicely; has plenty of power for my uses and is great on fuel. Been maintained and cared for; new tires and vintage S&W full gauge set, pyrometer / boost gauge. Has a pto / hydraulic dumping grain bed; it was stored in a barn and used for hauling harvested grain from the fields to storage in grain bins at the farm it lived at a few times a year. I want to add 4x4 and a twin boom Holmes 600 wrecker frame that I found. I had never seen a diesel Loadstar from that era before; it has no diesel badging. I had to open the hood, and it took me a minute to figure out that it was original. The truck showed up at a farm consignment auction unadvertised over a Thanksgiving weekend; I only had to outbid the scrap man. I don't think anyone realized it was diesel until I paid for it, started it up, and drove away while auction was still going on.

    Do you have to water the cover crop? I just see drip on the trees. I’m in Lodi, and planting a small fruit orchard. We plan to use cover crops in the alley as well but I’m not sure if we need to plan to water the alleys as well as the trees. Thank you and great content!

  • @Nightowl5454
    @Nightowl5454 7 місяців тому

    I'd suggest adding in at least 1 plant species that's heavy on production of pollen so the bees can expand their numbers. Another thing many will not know is the specific species that you put into the cover crop, so you should mention each species you put in the seed mix.

    About how long do you have to let the almonds grow on the trees before you harvest them? In what months do you usually allow the bees to pollinate the almond trees? How close are you to Davis and Sacramento? I was up there last year, and drove past the Blue Diamond HQ. Also, took the train from Suisan City to Sacramento and passed some almond farms. As a regular almond eater, I'm curious to know about this.

    • @jhoncho4x4
      @jhoncho4x4 5 місяців тому

      Yes, any wheel swapping tips are appreciated; bolt patterns, etc. These medium duty trucks are a different breed. My bias ply tube tires are like new but shakes at high speeds. I thought about airing the front down some since the truck is usually empty and see if that helps. I will need faster tires after I regear. If I can't use my current axles, then I am considering swapping in Super Duty Dually 4x4 axles and all the springs except main leaf; the SD also has 3" wide springs. Leave IH main leaf and clamp the dually springs between the main and axle perch. Add shock mounts to the IH frame; should ride nice and still tow or haul a decent load.
