Preparing The Kenworth For The New Trailer

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]After running it a few times, it's unhappy. So, I'm thinking we do have a pump issue.

[00:00:26]You are now watching the 2026 season of Farming with Duffy Aag. Okay, so we stopped by Tai Shoke. We saw Brian. They have the flow and pressure um tester as far as testing hydraulic systems. So when you run manure trailers and live bottom the moss trailers, silage trailers, it takes a lot of hydraulic uh efficiency and pressure and flow to actually get them moving. Um and then the heavy sand manure. So on this truck truck, we started having an issue with the pump. And what Leland thinks, and I believe he's probably right, that looks like there's oil there, but I'm hoping that that's just what's sitting left.

[00:01:12]So, we got to find out what Leland thinks. And we blew the seals out of here and it's bypassing.

[00:01:20]This pump isn't that old. Uh, I think I put it on I've run this trailer for 6 years. I think 6 years. I think I put it on 2 years in. But underneath here, there is a pressure relief. And this does have a Gemini pump on it. So, we want to test this system and make sure that it is working correct and that it is a problem back there. So, I appreciate uh the Zims letting me borrow this.

[00:01:53]Haynesworth recommends these. If you're getting a trailer from him, he has it and they test it. So, as you can see here, you have your pressure gauge and then you dial it down and you can get your actual flow. So, gallons per minute is over here. Liters per minute is over here. So, we're going to go ahead and test the truck. I'm going to get it off of there and uh we'll make sure it is 100% good to go.

[00:02:23]We have the flow and pressure tester over here. Um appreciate Tyoke letting us borrow this. So, you got your pressure gauge and then you can restrict um it down. Well, you restrict it down till you get your pressure on here and then you got your actual gallons per minute. So, we had to take off their returns are larger um than what this is set up for. And they were both females where we have a male and a female so that nobody ever puts them on backwards.

[00:02:53]But both trailers are set that way. Um yeah, might not be the best thing, but it works. Yeah, it's not the bad thing.

[00:03:02]So, we'll go ahead and get the truck started. Uh things that could be wrong. Our actual pump, our Gemini pump, bad pressure relief, bad pump on the end of the trailer, bad. Or could just be something in here. I don't know how this is all actually plumbed. I don't know the functionality of that.

[00:03:25]So, and I should get rid of it cuz thinking about putting a Vivore hydraulic motor in here to run the booms. We have six functions and that would solve a lot of issues that um you get rid of this whole valve set when you turn on the hydraulics it runs for.

[00:03:43]We'll see what goes on. But all right, let me get this started and uh Jake are on.

[00:03:56]I was messing with the dash uh since the bolt broke there. So, so at 1,000 PSI as of right now, we got 15 gallons per minute. I'll back this off. We'll rev the truck up a little bit.

[00:04:35]200 idle down though.

[00:05:05]Okay. So, we got 2,2400 out of it. Uh 35 to like 38 gallons per minute. That's about right. It should I This should have a high low on it. And there's a pressure relief. So, I'm going to pop this deck plate off and we're going to mess with the pressure relief while it's pumping and see if that changes anything. I tighten this fitting up. I believe it was leaking right here. It might be leaking up top here. Actually, I got to do a little digging. Sure looks like it's got a leak right here.

[00:05:39]Um, so I backed the pressure relief valve off and as you can see if we close it down to build pressure flow is all the way down. It bounces itself off and starts reliefing. So right now it's good.

[00:05:54]I'll turn it back in now.

[00:05:57]There'll be no pressure on it.

[00:06:07]So now the pressure relief valve's on all the way in. We should get up to our 2,000. Truck needs to idle up some more.

[00:06:22]I think we got to get on the high flow side. Yeah, it's leaking up top there.

[00:06:27]We got to do some digging on that so that we stop dripping hydraulic oil.

[00:06:33]So, got to take the lines off. Got to take the bracket off that holds this. I believe I did start spinning this and it hit.

[00:06:41]Does it spin around? Yep. So, we got to put some thread um tape on it. This is the relief valve so it stops leaking above it. Nice. At least it didn't go in the mud.

[00:06:56]Um, clearly one of these is leaking. I don't know if it's top or bottom, but I'd take it if it came off the bottom first, it's probably the bottom. After messing with it more, so we took that out, cleaned it up, it's leaking more, which isn't so warm and fuzzy feeling.

[00:07:13]Maybe it's leaking down at the bottom.

[00:07:15]The cows are all worked up. Um, but now after running it a few times, it's unhappy. So, I'm thinking we do have a pump issue.

[00:07:27]So, it was running and then it started losing pressure and flow. And uh yeah, or we can take this relief valve out and see where it's actually at.

[00:07:40]Dan hooked us up. So, new Gemini pump has the relief valve and everything, you know, from Co.

[00:07:52]And he's got a hose for us. So, this should line up in the pump that is failed on they can.

[00:07:59]Okay, we are back here. Just got to take the support bolts out. Um the four bolts that hold it on the airlines and the two hydraulic lines. So I believe we're going to have to add a third for that other pump. Um we'll make we will see.

[00:08:14]So but feed line, two clamps that will have a little bit of fluid in it because we did shut it off. Um, and then you got your feed line or your suction line and your feed line. GoPro stopped recording.

[00:08:29]Okay, we'll get the inlet line off, which is hopefully shot. I did shut the valve.

[00:08:37]It's not It's going to be real awkward.

[00:08:40]Wait, no, I didn't shut the valve. Valve is on the other side. Okay, getting it all switched over as far as fittings. And I realized we don't need that hole. There should be a plug in there. It is as you see. You can see my finger in there.

[00:08:55]Yep. So, I took the cap off the back and I was like, "Yeah, nope. That's the wrong size." So, we have to figure out that before this can run. The old pump broke down. Put the bracket on the new pump. Everything's good. We got to take these airlines off. So, this is set up Gemini dual pressure pump. It is set up that it can do um 25 PSI 2500 PSI or 3200 PSI depending on what we have the relief valve set at in here. It does have the third line back. Um the one thing is this is the same pump except for this the housing here has an inlet on the side in case you had the inlet on the side instead of on the back. Problem is the inlet on the back is smaller than the side. So, we got to figure out a plug on that before we can really do anything. I'll probably put that cap back in there so nothing goes in there. Where where is the caps?

[00:09:56]I don't even know. There it is.

[00:10:01]So, we got to figure that out. I got to take the airlines off or the couplers off, put those on for the dump body. Um, but we're going to run it the way it is and then we'll put the third line and we can get rid of the relief valve. that's um up above. That way we can run high low at any time. I don't know why this one was never set up that way. It is it's they're the same pump. So this is the same housing. This is a ZF. Oh, same exact housing. ZF09 220.

[00:10:33]Um I didn't actually read the tag on the side, but they got to be about the same.

[00:10:39]So yeah, Vantage Power.

[00:10:44]And then it's got the serial number. So, let me do those. We can throw it back on and we'll figure out um a cap. Okay. We are going to have to get a reducer that goes from inch and 3/4 to inch and a half and then that will be good. Uh we'll see what time it is.

[00:11:00]Maybe we can run grab something. It is Sunday night, Mother's Day, uh weekend, so not many places are open right now.

[00:11:08]But let's throw this one back in, get it bolted back up, get the hoses on, and get the relief valve. All righty, we got the pump back in. We got to do a little figuring, but we just hooked up to our new tank. And we'll do the little rundown cuz you guys can't see nothing, but there is a tank hooked to it. Pretty excited for this. We have this tank. We have this tanker. It's dark. I'll have to show it in the light time. Let it air up and we're going to run it for a little bit. We're going to go check something else.

[00:11:38]>> This thing is pretty slick. Definitely going to have to come back out. So, it's got its own nurse boom, well, suction boom on it. Uh, multiple hatches on the top. I've never seen one actually in person. This one has uh 59 hours on it.

[00:11:55]So, there's the suction boom right off your side so you can see what's going on. We'll have to come out and actually see this thing run.

[00:12:02]Okay, so this is a brand new Oxbow self-propelled manure injector, I believe is what it would be called.

[00:12:08]We're actually going to come out here.

[00:12:10]So, it has 59 hours on this bad boy, which is very impressive. But, we're going to come back out and actually see it in action because you do not see many of these in America. Europe's a whole different ball game. Here we are. AT5105 Oxbow LNMS.

[00:12:29]So, I don't know exactly what that means, but it probably means something uh related to manure, but this dairy here will have this for I think most of the summer. So, I'd be very interested in actually seeing it apply manure and uh what it can do. So, whole contained unit, which is pretty slick. We are hooked on to a different trailer. Very excited to actually run this trailer. Um, yeah, it is the first of its kind in the Northeast and, uh, we're going to do some do some experimenting with it, some promotional stuff with it for you guys and showcase it. So, I appreciate them letting me have the opportunity to pull it. And, uh, so far it's been very impressive. But, uh, yeah, it was dark when we picked it up. It was almost 11:00 at night. And, uh, I guess you guys will see on a future video how it runs. But appreciate you guys watching along. Appreciate Dan hooking me up with that pump on a Sunday. Uh he says he's not going to use it, so I'll buy it off of him. Um and uh I'll give you fair warning. We're going to have some more issues with the hydraulic system, so we got to do some figuring. But see you guys on the next one. Have a go.
