DIY you fellas would fit in well down under. Don't you just love it when a project comes together and works out. Great farmer skills using the bucket as a saw horse 🤗
Omg just finished watching your robot scrapers, before watching this video... didn't realize you literally uploaded this just a few minutes ago haha! Love the innovative features your doing, keep up the good work my dude!
@@brodieschubert2388 do you breathe? Are you alive? This life is but a vapor, short and insignificant to eternity. God has a place called home that is awaiting the poor, the destitute, the sick and the lame. Unfortunately people reject God even though the miracles of His work are show even in nature everyday. In the few months of this new year I have been in the ICU for a week because of Covid, two weeks later my father died, for the past few months I have been dealing with crippling pain in my lower back (to where they even have burned my nerve endings), and my wife's Petuitary Tumor has come back. Yet God is good for His mercy and grace upon my sinful life. His providence has lead me to Him for eternal life. He will take you as well, put down your bitterness and stop rejecting you only hope for true happiness.
It’s enjoyable watching your dad and you working together. I really miss those days very much. Also wanting to ask for his opinion and then you realize they are not there.
Your dad with the puppy makes me grin. Is there anything you and your dad can't solve -- oh yeah -- that "electrician stuff." ; - ) You do amazing work.
I've never bothered to oil apron chains. I'm guessing this was a one time thing because it was rusted from sitting. And it will be such a small amount of oil it won't hurt a cow
Glad y’all found used one from bone yard. Catch box from cart to conveyor could be bigger to allow more freedom parking feed cart. Other than that, great job.
I just recently found your channel after work this week and I gotta say I'm really enjoying watching what you guys get up to. Reminds me of my primary (elementary in the US) school days at a combined dairy farm/school. Learned the rural way of life and a lot of agricultural education mixed with standard curriculum. Especially when I saw your old International tractor, we had one just like that but with a ROPS frame on it. Used to tow a trailer with seats and side panels and take us around the farm occasionally. I don't know if it's an option for you're loader or not but here in Tasmania you can get tracks kind of like snow chains but you fit them over both wheels of a wheeled skidsteer and they give better ground resistance and traction in dirt. They look very similar to the chains on your conveyor belts actually! They'd probably suffer a bit on bitumen though but might make working in snow and also digging that drainage a bit easier if you can source them. If they're not commercially available a fabrication workshop might be able to engineer a solution for you. They're commonly found on tree harvesters and forwarders if you need to find some examples.
Great neighbor to offer that conveyor to you. That worked out well. How will that work in the winter with the snow days? Can you cover the conveyor that is outside except for the end where you bring the feed in? Or even cover that when not in use. Otherwise great job. Yes, you and your Dad do work well together. "Creative" is the name of the game to make life a bit easier and to save your backs....
Will you cover up the outside part of the new conveyor or is that not needed? I imagine you wouldn't want standing water in it :-) Love the vids btw and super cute puppy!
My suggestion is get a decent backpack blower and use it to clean out all the dust and crap from the floors and ceilings in those old barns. I’m guessing it’s a fire hazard. Peace out!
What is the advantage of having the return chain running on top? I have noticed that most of your conveyors work that way. All of our conveyors the return chain ran on the bottom.
Sorry Eric battery of mobile phone died as I was saying great episode on the conveys solution. It was watching another show on u tube and I know you always looking for areas to improve your dairy equipment just thought you might want to a review a company call ventrac of Ohio who make small tractors with alot of attachments just thought I would do some free community networking luv your vlog
I can't help but chuckle at that a tad lol I have been in construction for over 30 years and the way I I've work, 80% of my work has been done by one person and that's me, including hanging 10' sheets of drywall (without a lift) I've had to raise a 12x12 premade roof (roofing and all) over my head and without any type of lifts/ jacks, just pure back and muscle so when I see these two install a few nuts and bolts together as a team, I do have to laugh lol. I mean it's good and all, at least they won't end up like me and I wish I had been granted help on so, so many jobs that were not intended for one man at all
Now that is just brilliant. I'm so impressed by your ingenuity, I never saw that coming. No question why you have been successful for 10 generations. If William Penn could see you now. Great job Eric and Dad!
TIM from Canada as you are building your conveyor in through your barn. Suggestions make a half door. That’s underneath your conveyor this way you can close the door when the weather is not so great or in the winter time to keep the breeze out..
Congratulations Eric & Dad, on your clever improvising to meet the need. * A Safety suggestion might be to put the " stands strength," underneath the conveyor, so the vertical members carry its weight, not the screws. Tim.
Excellent job installing the conveyor. Anything you can do to make the job easier is a plus. You have probably already thought about it, but you could make the box on the conveyor that receives the feed from the mixer a little larger in order to catch all the feed from the mixer. It looked like the belt from the mixer was wider than the box. Keep up the good work, and God Bless.
Excellent video! Appreciate your explanations and your work. Great teamwork for Dad and Son. Hope the increased productivity give you the time to teach the little ones the thrill of flying through the air - safely seated in your lap as you float across the barn on the rope swing, or maybe more time to shoot hoops with a second junior sized basket mounted a few feet off the ground. Great project. Well done Dad and Eric!
