I had a customer with a similar situation with their skid steer. I got some pre fab trailer fenders and cut and fit them to their machine. Quick and cheap and kept the "mud" from getting slung all over.
Oh Thank you for cleaning it. You clean so many parts but just wanted to see it clean. I’m a nurse so you are one hard working guy. Your immune system must be fantastic. Keep on pumping that milk. You are a breath of fresh air.
I know you read my comment and I thank you for actually reading comments. Clean machinery last longer runs cooler and you can see safety issues like cracks and bad hoses. I know its a never ending job but that machine new cost almost 50 grand US when its new. I had several of them I know first hand what they cost.
The Skid Steer looked new for a few minutes. This vlog came out so quickly, I almost expected a WHAM of a surprise like "10th Generation Farmer" delivered. Although Fall is my favorite season; it must be good to see the snow gone in the Spring in Saskatchewan. Almost time to be getting into the field 👍👍👍👍👍
When I was young and working in the woods I wore black sweatshirts was stung at least once a day turn out the yellow jackets can sense or see the added heat and sense it’s black bear. As soon as I changed to light colors I stopped getting stung but the yellow jackets seemed to land on me out of curiosity. Luca
You’re a brave man......., in my experience when you start pulling off that much mud you generally find about...., oh......, 30..,thousand hydraulic leaks LOL
Sitting here having a cup of coffee and I’m so glad this notification came up, good morning Jan and all your fans! This situation has been so lonely and depressing, all you RU-vid content providers have helped me through all this and I love you all! Jan you always get my thumbs up first thing because you never disappoint!
Good response to comments! What's not to like! Most of us have never seen the kind of equipment you use every day. Also people gotta say, farmers are not some dumb hayseeds anymore. They have to be smart and educated to run all this stuff! A lot of cattle! It's clear you really try to make interesting videos, and to appear happy and cheerful the whole time.i think over 68 thousand subs and the six thousand views this video already received on it's first day bode well for your channel, and you deserve to feel a sense of accomplishment. God bless you and your family!
If everyone was a farmer taking care of animals, the land and equipment the world would be paradise. Thanks so much for you and your fams hard work Jan.
Good job my friend....i think you got the best video s on you tube when it comes to farm life and your care and love for the animals,,, i think thats awesome.
WOW Jan, there must have been quite a few pounds of stuff on that puppy. It looks really great all cleaned up. But it has to be used for work and the minerr all over it just makes it look tough. The bees think you are a flower. Thanks for the video.
Hi Jan! Oh thank you for cleaning the Bobcat! I've been wanting to say something but refused as I know how busy you all are. It was actually fun seeing you get sprayed back! LOL But in a way disgusting! LOL Yea I bet a shower would feel great!!! You are one special person, thanks for the awesome videos, they are always great to watch! Stay safe and healthy Jan! Looking forward to the next one........
@saskdutchkid when do u change the oil or air filters on the skid steer that u washed and u need to look into a foam cannon with nerta diamond cleaning solution for a foam washing to help with the dried manure
It’s doesn’t have to be chain drive specifically, I’m sure there’s a equipment manufacturer out there that makes something to fit this specific application. Just seems like an automated system would be more efficient.
Hey. ha ha since the time that some ask you to wash it. good work. A question. How much slope have you put in the waiting area for cows for good water flow? Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Switzerland. François
It's a Bob Cat! It's white under all of that! I feel your pain, I used to work on trucks that hauled crude oil. They were always dirty, clean them up and service them and they got dirty again. Do they make fenders for Bob Cat's? That would do wonders for keeping it cleaner.
it is about time you clean that thing and are old john deere 320 skid steer just died and now we have to do all of are skid steer work with are 2018 kubota ssv 75 and let me tell you it is hard to dump feed in to the box stall feeder and i just cleaned it 2 days ago
Boyd Gilbreath / if they are going to spend like they have for that beautiful dairy I think the time and benefits would pay for itself with a small automatic machine wash/rinse the size of a garage but tall enough to fit all the tractors 🚜 down to the smallest skid steer. It’s just an idea but It was a serious idea!
I guess they should go back to hand milking instead of spending all that money on the new barns and milking parlors, improvements will pay for themselves.
Yep i found that bovines are also sensitive to different colours. It's not only bees. Bovines are supposed to be colour blind. I found they were always more skittish with the hi vis flouro gear
That's bobcat for you! You sould look at the new Kubota skidsteers much more enjoyable to run better engineering. The loader and driving controls are joysticks. And the loader has a damping system when you let it down. We use to have one of the biggest they make. It's in our videos on Leussink Farms Custom Farming Bros RU-vid channel, you sould check them out. Oh we also had a JCB telliskid just as good of a machine as the kabota. The nicest thing on the JCB and the Kubota is the door it can't be hit by the loader. Also your cab needs a good cleaning too! Lol
Circumstances sure work against keeping the skid loader clean but like you say periodic cleaning keeps it going. Seems like there aren't enough hours in a day to get work,done but somehow you make it happen. Take care and stay safe.
Great video. You make your point well that it's impossible to keep it clean. Love your positioning of the camera to get the great shots. HEY BOBCAT: Maybe your upcoming models could have a swinging floor pan beneath the pedals, so your customers can easily hose out the gunk periodically.
Washing it gave you the chance to inspect and maintain a critical piece of daily equipment. That's another way of looking at it. I could just imagine all the ecoli germs in that manure being jetted into your breathing space by the power washer. A face shield would help you out there I imagine. You must have developed superhero antibodies from working ankle deep in manure for so long though because you seem so healthy. Thanks for doing the wash finally to get us fans off your case about it.😉👍
It needs to have fenders so the tires don't throw it up into the body. You are so handy around the farm in sure your parents are very proud of the man you have become
A simple square frame of 1&1/2" pvc pipe with spray nozzles on the sides, top and bottom (bottom pipe is iron) to run it thru daily would cut down on the build up. I made one for driving my truck and boat thru to wash off the sand and sea salt. Saves me tons of time and effort. Took me a trip to the hardware store and less than a day to put it together. It takes 2 people to move it but you have plenty of room to set it up permanently inside were it wouldn't freeze. It's not like you have have anything else to do! LOLOL!!!
HaHa. The "ladies" won't know what to think when they see this brand new thing passing through their barn!! Excellent 'git 'er done" music choice too! :D Wash your face?!! Now I know why you have that glowing face. Could you market that Manure Mask treatment?!! ;D Love it! Thanks for another informative and creative video.
Should try a 0degree tip on the pressure washer. I worked in Alberta one summer washing side booms for pipeline and that’s what I used worked really good. Cuts threw that hard crusty stuff like butter.
