Spreading Spring Manure | John Deere 7600 

As a teenager I worked for my 2 neighbors on alternating Saturdays, hauling manure. I hand loaded most of it with a pitch fork. My pay was a dollar an hour and usually work 8 hours. They did furnish a noon meal.

Growing up I despised having to clean barns(mostly by hand). Now 30 years later and I am watching videos of it and enjoying it. Circle of life, thanks for your great vids

I just sat through 15:27 of a video loading, hauling and spreading shit....... Congratulations, you kept my attention longer then any politician!!!!! lol Have a great weekend....

NEED TO TELL YOU, VERY PROUD OF YOU AND ALL FARMERS AND RANCHERS AROUND THIS BEAUTIFUL PLANET

Loved the intro with the whole dog 🐕 shooting the breeze and the top gun 🔫 sound track.

My granny as a kid was so impressed by the new manure spreader they got for the farm in Kansas was better to use the auger instead of the pitch fork!

Thank God there is no such thing as smell a vision!

Awesome to see you guys are moving! Plenty of drying for us to do yet. Nice to see the 7600 is out!

Manure hauling, a sure sign of spring. There is no replicating the heat and the smell of a bucket of manure. Love a skid steer with a cab.

Always fun to hear the stories of the "good ol' days" from your elders! Keep up the good work

Nice setup for manure duty. When I was young on the farm we had an old New Idea wooden box spreader single beater we pulled with a Farmall Super M. Our loader tractor was an Oliver Super 55 utility with a Freeman trip loader. No power steering on either tractor. Also had to learn to duck alot while on the M pulling the spreader especially at the end of the load...it tended to throw chunks straight at you! Also had to mind the wind direction. Brings back lots of good memories from 40 years ago. Excellent video Ryan.

As one who's spread manure myself, I could almost smell all that duky smell oozing out my computer screen. LOL

It fascinates me how many people can find manure spreading such a big deal.

"That's a lot of fertilizer!" Not to mention, a crap-ton (several, if truth be told) of organic matter going back into your farmland. Since we don't often see the cattle at Rockville, as opposed to the ones at Travis and Ryan's places, I can only assume that these, in particular, are great at converting bedding and feed into manure. Well, here's to spring and slinging the "sweet" stuff all over the place. Hopefully, that old spreader holds out for you until a suitable replacement (upgrade?) can be found. Thanks for the video.

Never been so excited to see 💩 hit the fan after the winter we've had. Spring is here!

My 1st job out of school was on a farm and as I left in April, I was right into cleaning out cattle sheds and pig pens. Great introduction to farming, like you the muck was stockpiled until all the smaller sheds were clear. The farmer also employed lads from a care home right across from the farms top field, well one day the John was driving the muck spreader and I was loading with a Fordson Major tractor with forks. each trip the John got back a bit quicker and I guest he was working down the field towards the farm. Anyway about an hour had passed and a small red van appeared in the yard, with LONDON TRANSPORT written on the side a uniformed bus inspector got out and walked over to me. Apparently a double decker bus had been side sprayed with wet stinky cow manure!!!!!!! Just then John drove into the yard and I found out he had been working towards the road and was driving faster, which in turn sprayed the muck in a wider arch as the spreader was driven by its own wheels. Well the inspector felt a bit sorry for John as he realised where he was from seeing a motif on his jacket, and with a telling off all was good. I'd have loved to have been in the bus garage when it was driven in covered in SH-=.

old papa run the best

It's nice to see a new idea still at work

Hey Ryan I am your brothers age.. when I was in middle school we had an old cement silo, and the unloader failed when it was early winter and the silo was full. Your dad’s story reminded me of That lol. We had to pitch fork all the chopped silage out by hand all winter- parts for the unloader were on backorder. Every couple days I climb up to the top and throw the rot down first, then throw down enough to fill the feed carts which were gas powered. The good ol days lol..

And that's How Farms Work, You never know how good or bad a day can go on ya and hold you up, great job Ryan:)

We had a old John Deere spreader, ran off the tires and had a chain and stuff down under the manure. It was metal, but ran like the old wood units. Every winter it would rust up and bind up. We had to take it on a paved road, walk along side and oil it and just hope it didnt break free and start to work when you were too close to it!!

Tell your Dad I long ago lost count of how many 16' X 45 ' silos I've forked out ! If you've got the location composting that manure before spreading it makes for a more uniform product that's easier on the spreader as well ! ( the beaters won't get clogged so easily as the fodder is more rotten and loose ) Direct any leachate across tilled ground or make a catch basin and pump it back on the windrow . Hardest part is probably finding space close by for two windrows - one working and one to spread . The only " downside is rolling and shaping the stuff two-three times/year . Looks like the time is fast-approaching for some major " farmerneering " work on that spreader . Great video ! Nice and tight and nicely paced .

Great to see how a spreader works in the field thanks Ryan.

great fertilizer better than commercial

That opening.... classic

That was me spreading horse crap from sunup until I gave up. We had a pile at least 100 feet by 80 feet by 20 feet high. Not spread by the previous owner. A lot better than cow manure!! I was planning on bagging it and selling for 3 bucks a pop!!

Never knew that manure can look so good on camera 😂

Excellent video sir!!!

A tidy load on the spreader Ryan. Awesome footage as always. Give Rocket a pat from me across the pond.

Your dad runs that Bobcat pretty dang good

Growing up I loader the manure spreader one pitch fork at a time or one shovel at a time. BUILDS CHARACTER

Manure is the best thing you can have on your land!

Glad to see fieldwork starting

GREAT FOOD FOR THE LAND

Suggestion A grapple fork works wonders.

I was gonna rec' you tighten that slip clutch first time it stopped beating. Honest. That's a really nice combo you have there for slingin' the "black gold!" Composition "decking" "boards" work good as a floor. I envy your compost pile! (Price THAT out by the 40-50lb. bag....) In fact Chris (Farming with Duffy Ag) bags/sells their's. But he farms in a very different "neighborhood." As for the "drag" (we call 'em) the moving floor-----ya jes' gotta keep a close "eye" on them (parallel) chains.....opening links are a drag (or NOT, actually...) they're just "stamped" 10ga. links that sometimes come "un-formed." Enjoyed your video!

We always loaded front to back....makes it easier for the beater to spread the manure

Excellent camera

Gives a whole new meaning to steaming pile of ... lol

"NEW IDEA" - Man they have been putting forth New Ideas about spreading the Sweet since the beginning of time. sdh in CT

Wow, y'all did an amazing job with the camera work and editing - looks awesome!

We had two silos and we emptied both by hand every year. Corn silage.

Living in rural MN... definitely smells like that time of year!

Brings back memory’s . Did my fair share of shoveling out a manure speeder . Never fun if you have rocks put in speeders nether. Broken shear bolts or apron chain or beaters. Up in Vermont we call few things different but same thing lol 😝

Add a second or replacement spreader to the list to go with second skid steer. Good work on getting the unit workable. Cheers

Good video Ryan even though it was shity job somebody's got to do it glad you got everything working right glad you could get out in the field that's one thing and your favor get back into the fields to be able to work be safe

So much fun to do

Great intro

Great video cant wait to see the 4640 out roaling coal and turning dirt. Have a good one Ryan!!!

Great video.

Cannot beat manure as a fertilizer. Does a great job and not created in a lab.

Time for a company to sponsor How farms work with a manure spreader.

Ha! "Highway to the danger zone" starring Rocket... Loved it

My family always had two spreaders running to keep the loader busy.

Nice video, Like John Deere №1 !!!

Great video! 👌

Looks like you guys need a quickshot ether system for the skiddy

The web broke and wrapped up around the rear sprocket on me last month, had to pitch half of the load out by hand. Good times.

Great video

Yo también llevo un bonito año con el remolque esparcidor de estiércol 😂 I like ur videos Ryan 👌🏼💪🏼

I really like Travis's 7600 #WorldsOkayestFarmer

Great video, awesome drone shots. Thanks for sharing.

Doggo in the back of the ute, good choice of music!

I don't know when the last time someone put this much effort into making literal shit look good, but you've certainly managed to pull it off lol.

Spring in Wiscowsin... gotta love it

Remember doing this all loaded by hand ! We had 35 cows oh my the work in short time lol!

What another great video ryan keep up the great work!!

Rocket , the real star

Yeah we run a NewHoland 195, double beater. it's a decent machine for the money and i've seen guys fit a canopy and canvas to the back and make a feed wagon out of them. a local feed lot uses a big spreader with vertical beaters to bed their big pens.

Second to equipment, a good farm dog "Rocket" is a valuable co-pilot who should have a blanket or some seat covers to ride in the truck with the way people drive today on their phones and not paying attention.

Another nice video Ryan. Keep up the great work!

Well if I’m not mistaken those are seed totes in the back of the machine shed. But HEY you know what that means! Spring is very close and so is planting season🌽🚜

Great video, we still use a New Idea 6922 manure spreader

Rocket needs a ride in Big Red

Free Fertilizer can’t beat that

Oh my God did I laugh with Rocket and the "Danger Zone" opening theme, you made my day. Nice stuff, (both the video) and what's in back of the spreader!

Looks like it's time for a new (additional) spreader especially now that you are acquiring more head of cattle.

Great video Ryan! It reminds me of when I was "your age" (young)!! Your operation is similar to what I had growing up as a teenager and farming after that. Keep up the good work showing folks what a real farm is. Have a great year...looks like you're starting out on a good note. Getting that late winter, early spring manure hauling done is always a good feeling. Stay safe and prosper!! \\//

I went by your farm to day

Like the video guy's ,your Manure spreader is going .

Does Ryan ever run any machines? Lol I feel like Travis does everything

I'd like to hear what was really said when stuff breaks. Hauling manure here in Southeastern Wisconsin was one of my favorite things to do. Till I stopped working with cattle.

Geez your camera is great

Thanks for sharing guys..

Thanks for the great video...love it

Finished planting our rye yesterday

Really like the airial views.

very nice video!

Finally! Firld work great angles👌👌

Good video!!, nice dog

The sure smells of spring

Not sure if you would like a new speeder or not Ryan but we got a New Holland 195 from Hennessy’s last year to replace our old 195 and it works great and with the added beater on top it would work good for bedding pack and your pile’s and I believe it would be a good match for the 7600

You should mark that spot to see how the corn grows in the fall.

I like it you guys should think about a new spreader if your going to get alot more cows

When the sh*$ hit the fan. Lol.

Its sad when you know exactly how to fix something! Thanks for the video Ryan

I wish I could get some of that for my garden.

Looks like you need to do some maintenance and part replacement on the spreader, especially since you've doubled your stock, wouldn't want the spreader down when you need it.

Good work!!

I wish you could share the spreader's design plan. I would gratefully copy it. 😄
