Filling Upright Silo to the Roof

Merch: 10thgenerationdairyman.com/
Thank You!

[@samspade4634]

I'm probably a little older than your dad, so I remember chopping corn with a 2 row and 4 wagons to haul. We did a lot of climbing on and off the tractor - they were full days as we had 3 of those silos to fill. We also had a side business working on CLAY silo unloaders, so I've climbed more silos than I care to remember - I feel your pain! Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I think your doing a great service to the dairy industry by showing daily life on the farm and the humane way most farms treat their animals. Thanks again Eric and just so you know, you young dairy farmers are much smarter than we were. Great job.

Sam, I disagree with your last sentence. I'm sure you did your job very smartly with the technical possibilities of your time. And the generation after Eric will again have new technical possibilities that we may not even dream of today. I hope that this generation will be very smart too!

[@frankbaitinger9444]

Thank ok

[@4PeTe2]

interesting to see the contrast between the corn choppers. modern automation has made the job easier but as you point out there is still a lot of hand work needed to get the job done. thanks for taking us along

[@johnkruton9708]

Your filming expertise amongst all those places to DROP your GoPro is astounding. Your ability to get the shot with all the stuff flying around is awesome! Thanks for all the hard work and videos.

Just think, we could repay him for all of his hard work with a simple like.

[@HomerJ1964]

That rig you have for blowing the silage into the silo is pretty cool. Seeing the old school chopper, wagons, and blower brings back a lot of great memories. We had a neighbor who had all the equipment that we hired to fill silo for us. My uncle would usually come drive a tractor too. Mom always made huge meals to feed everyone lunch. Good times.

[@warehouseman6325]

Love the old school tractor and the 2 row chopper. Brings back great memories on the neighbors farm. One of the best videos to date.

Was that a Mennonite farmer you hired to chop Corn? Cool tractor on steel. You should have shown some closeups Keep up the good work! Hard work never hurt anybody JIM

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

[@Dan-qy1rg]

I totally agree with the comments on the great job you did on filming and the admiration of the old school method of chopping and filling of the silo's. You and your dad work hard and like all of the farmers out there, we want to do the best for our livestock, and that shows in what you do. Great job to you, your dad and all the help you get from friends and neighbors. Have a great weekend and, "Thanks again for sharing your experiences with us"!

[@spoodervr4734]

Hey Eric I just want to say that your videos have helped me through a rough time in my life. Hope you and dad stay well

I remember a time years ago when I thought I wanted to be a farmer. Now I see how much work there is, I realize I never could have done it. Congratulations on a successful harvest. A friend of mine milks 110 cows and pastors a small local church. He's a glutton for punishment.

[@shirleybewley6646]

Watching them work, it's like a ballet. Fun to see the machines and people in sync

[@orsonwells7997]

Brought back a bunch of memories inside the silo. Winter time scraping the frozen silage off the wall of the silo cause that Patz unloader was something to be desired.

[@chriscrosby8012]

Love love the harvest and filling the silos. Awesome video thanks 🙋‍♀️😊

[@Cole08006292]

Eric, I love this channel. Your sharing of insightful knowledge, exemplifies how we should live as a society. Knowledge is power, and the more that people know, the better things will be. When I watched this video, one thing stood out to me, only because I was speaking about it recently how my uncle reprimanded me as a young boy when I did something unsafe. When working so close to PTO shafts, they really should have safety guards over them. We take it for granted that nothing will happen when we work beside them so often but in reality, one wrong move and your life could be kaput. Whether it’s your machine of not, safety should be paramount. Even changing the end closest to where your working and making that safe, blocking off access to the rear of the tractor, sometimes unique situations require creative planning solutions. I only say this from experience as my neighbour died this way. PTO guards are in expensive when compared to the loss of a limb or life. Just want you to be safe. Keep up the awesome videos👍

[@yetiofthenorth]

That's why I always liked hauling wagons with a smaller tractor, better maneuverability. But sometimes no matter how many times you back up and pull forward it just won't get close enough to the blower. Another pass around usually will do the trick. Loved the steel wheels on the tractor. Any chance we see a team of mules next?

[@Brian-ov1rj]

Wow, you had a really good crop this year. Silo’s are full.👍

[@ichtus11]

Thanks Eric! As always great video! Blessings from the Netherlands!

[@stromxtc2033]

Another great video Eric! TY for your documentary efforts. I now see why y'all contact out the cutting, quite a job and that crew is fast!

[@matthewpowner7173]

You know what would be cool? A time lapse of the feed settling down in the silo. Sped up of course, but that would be very satisfying to watch!

Nice to see your cousin Cody helping out on the farm! Look forward to seeing him when he can help out. Great video Eric! So much hard work around the farm. Thanks for sharing with us through your awesome videos! I'm sure they take a lot of hard work too! Stay safe out there guys!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Yeah, brings back a lot of memories. That was our job since we were old enough to drive our old farmall M, bringing up silage wagons to the blower. Use to hate going up in the silo, always dark and noisy, when your 10 and dad says go up there and fix it, you go!

[@felipeschmidt4849]

Love seeing how all of this stuff works... especially the old stuff.

[@davenhla]

Back when I was farming with my Dad, we had the regular IH version of that blower. I know you were using neighbors stuff etc. but we ran our wagons off at 540PTO speed and unloaded them in no time. That was a long time ago now. That is the best design blower they ever made, you won't plug it unless yours is getting worn out. The unloader looks like a Patz and they still make them you can buy one brand new. Your Dad probably was not so much rusty as used to doing that back in the day with a smaller tractor.

[@alineuzan]

Dear Eric, I'm praying for you to be fully engaged in life to your satisfaction. After watching you for a couple seasons, you never cease the hard labor. I just want you to know, I am thankful for America's farmers. Its gotten much easier with advances in technology, but I'm watching you do things I am no longer able to accomplish. Good speed.

Don't feel bad about having to take a second pass at the silo blower. We call the second run " the pass of shame". We've all had to do it. Luckily, it's not filmed when we do it though
