Pik Rite, a company based here in Pennsylvania, brought us a vertical beater manure spreader to use for a little while. We are very happy with it so far. I will be doing a full review on the machine after a while.
What they fail to know is I bet out of all his subs how many are farmers 1 percent if he lucky I'm a mechanic and last thing I want to watch is someone wrenching on a car
My dad used to rise dairy cattle and milk but got out of it. So we do beef I really appreciate and respect dairy farmers thank you for all your hard work.
I've been watching your vids for a while now and never knew you where in PA...I grew up on a farm in Butler county. Love your vids keep up the great work and God bless.
I just subscribed, been stuck in the house all day today because of the weather here in WI. Enjoy your videos, keep up the great work your doing and showing us all.
Hi Eric, Been watching your channel from the UK for about a month and I love it. Me and my 10 year old boy are catching up on all your vids. He's a future farmer! Please keep them coming, Thank you.
I'm impressed with how the vertical beaters spread vs the horizontal we always had horizontal tandem axle New Holland with lots of clumps of manure everywhere
Great filming Eric. That spreader is awesome, sure beats the chain drive along the bed for emptying. I was laughing, you barely stayed far enough away......suffering for art!
Awesome company and an awsome owner. One of the best if you ever get to meet him. He grain farms also, right down the road from me. Those spreaders are a great long lasting spreader. You would not be disapointed if you happened to buy it
Kudos to Pik Rite for the "loaner". I'm sure they recognition the value of 118K + subscribers and likely many more viewers having their company name mentioned. I like the idea of the Vertical beaters and the Spreader did perform well , covering a wider swarth than your other spreader. 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜 🚜
Thanks for video. Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving with your family. Looks like a chance of snow up here on Sunday morning. Thumbs up from me always hard-working family
Nice Video! I always look forward to when you post a new video! I can't say that I would be in the market for a new manure spreader, but for those who are interested, it might be helpful if the next time you spread manure with that spreader if you can capture some drone shots so that others can see from above the pattern that it spreads and how even it spreads. Thanks again for the videos! Keep them coming!
The shots at 3:40 down the alley and also the side angle shot of the skiddie bucket... sweet camera angles. Maybe take that talent to a videography class at a community college or on line, if you haven't. We need more farmers sharing. Thank you for your service to Pennsylvanians.
That thing does do a nice job of breaking up the material and fanning it out we always had the old tank spreaders and they broke the material up good to by the way McKean county pa here
I've been watching for a couple of months now and I'm impressed with the size of your families operations. How many acres do you have in pasture land, acres in corn or other grains, number of milk cows, any beef cattle, gallons of milk a day, etc ? I certainly respect your hard work and the hard work of all of our American farmers. The average American has no idea what goes into being able to drink a tall, cold glass of milk with those cookies, or eating corn on the cobb, or slicing into a big thick steak !!
I like the concept of the vertical beaters. Seems like there is a much more even covering on the field. I'd be interested in one of I still milked cows unfortunately though I've retired from that.
I liked the spreader! It really does a good job tossing the manure out so evenly to the point you don't see it... (I am not a 'Bot or company rep! LOL) I searched everywhere but didn't see that darned soda can anywhere! Maybe the spreader got it and tossed it out in the field...
Who knew watching poo being flung hydraulically could be so interesting? A far cry from the old red one a buddy had on the farm growing up with the drag chain and a couple paddles on the back. :-)
I am no longer on a farm. I.find the discussion of merits of new equipment probably helpful to others. I just find it fascinating the differences between the machines and the options. I can imagine it would be difficult making a choice sometimes
The broadcast manure spreader was first sold in 1875 as a horse drawn implement. Of course, farmers at the time still had to fork manure into the spreader, but no doubt that was a lot easier than hand forking it into a wagon and then having three people riding in the wagon with one person driving and two people in the back ----flinging. In 1776, Adam Smith identified manure as being among the origins of the wealth of nations. But even this new manure spreader, while it creates a veritable CLOUD of cow manure, needs improvement. Combines have long been able to keep working and unloading grain on the fly. Something similar needs to be done for manure spreaders, so that they can be loaded up on the fly from a truck without having to stop and make a lengthy and time consuming trip back to be loaded up.
Again Thank you for taking your time out, to show how you use the cows poop as fertilizer, when you grow the cow food how do you grow there food, and is it big job. Again thank you
We have a spreader just like that except it's quite a bit bigger and it's at Orange tonight 20 series we also have a side Slinger that's orange to it's one of the newer ones I was on the phone with 800 acres and about 750 Dairy heifers re-raise for two different areas locally
Thanks Eric ,here in the Uk we call those extensions "Greedy Boards " looked like a useful bit of kit not a brand I'm familiar with and I was wondering why it has such a long drawbar
I’m a new sub so catching up on your videos.Its so obvious how you pay attention to details in everything you do. You really work hard to treat your cows well. When you scrape the free stall beds some move around like a waterbed. What are they exactly?? That really looks like luxurious cow comfort.
Cool machine. Do farmers get sick often? It seems like 75% of their job is dealing with actual crap. I have so much respect for you guys. I couldn't handle this job that's for sure.
10th Generation Dairyman spreading manure :) Surrounding 5-mile radius :( 10th Generation Dairyman Thanks for the entertainment and example of hard work!
