A 45 minute video about mowing/chopping triticale and storing it in a new silo on Friday? Just what the doctor ordered!

[@RyanS493]

Who’s your Doc? I wanna be prescribed YT Videos 😂

[@JohnSmith-vo9zc]

Dr. GetaLife

[@soulewh]

@@JohnSmith-vo9zc did your doc, Dr Immaloser prescribe that comment to you?

[@adamrosenhamer3762]

big thanks to the custom guys for letting Eric film them all the time!! awesome drone shots too Eric!!

[@ianbruining]

Crazy how fast it goes from being built to being filled and used.

[@haydenc2742]

Would be a huge waste if it wasn't :)

[@asquithmainlines699]

When a dream starts to become a reality, must be a great feeling.

[@theirishman8356]

It was really cool to see the silo from start to finish to the first filling. Looks really cool. 👍

[@waffles9119]

From a fellow pa dairy farmer who just mowed and chopped their wheat and rye 2 days ago for the 28th year I would say that yall did a great job. Also as I get older I can't even climb our 60ft ss silos. Now I have to hire young people to come and do it for me.

[@brent9393]

Much respect, as a guy that uses silos, that’s a lot of climbing

[@foreverbrownsfan]

At 72, I’d have to rely on the camera. 🫣 Vertigo kicked just watching. Excellent coverage of the silo build and fill! 👍

[@elizabethbradley7621]

Glad you are smart, your father taught you well. I love listening to you explain what you are doing. Thank you.❤

[@Bella_Malk]

Really exiting for a fellow dairy farmer to fill his silo for the first time. We’re just waiting to cut hay til it drys up a bit, it’s been so wet lately. I’m not gonna complain though because of the drought we had last year In Wisconsin. Been really cool to watch the silo building process come about

[@marierichards6922]

I’m in Reading Pennsylvania. Been watching your videos for years. I’m 77 and the granddaughter of two farm families. It is so interesting and I’ve learned so much watching you and your dad. I just want to thank you. Keep the videos coming. I’ll be watching. 😊

[@stromxtc2033]

KZbin is great. I love it too

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

I just wish he had the same number of subscribers as “Mr Beast” Eric is a very good farmer. To work the cow side, then the field side and build a house and have 3 children in 2 years. The guy is an overachiever. I am thoroughly impressed.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Eric paint the cable mark bright orange for about a foot so you can easily see it when it’s near the top. You dont want to pull that splice through. Now give me a shout out.

[@TheStuport]

Greetings Miss Marie! I have seen your comments here and in a few other farming channels and I very much appreciate your positive words. Being a part of Two Faming Families, I'm sure you have seen and experienced a ton over the years! Wondering if you had KZbin back in the day...would you have considered having your own channel? I believe it would have been a Winner Too! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

[@sherryoverbey9938]

Eric, my husband and I have been following your KZbin channel several years now. How exciting to see everything come together on your farm especially the new silos and how they work. God has surely blessed you! Thank you for your valuable time in putting these KZbin videos together. We are already anticipating the next one!

[@nickv2707]

I can smell the silage in the video. Brings back a lot of good memories growing up on my Uncle’s Dairy Farm when I was younger. I loved every minute of it. Keep up the good work cause there’s not to many family Dairy Farms left anymore.

[@paulrichards9400]

Congratulations on a successful first run with the new silo, great video.

[@joetheagent]

Haha! Way to make my Friday, Eric! 45mins 10Gen is fantastic stuff! that camera feature is going to save hundreds? of trips up and down that silo... so cool.

[@dalet6250]

Your custom harvesting crew is pretty awesome. They are efficient with no wasted time or movements. And top-notch equipment to be able to run continuously like that, and obviously well maintained. Pleasure to watch.

[@douglasharmer690]

Eric & Dennis, Absolutely one of the best videos from 10th Gen!!! What a blessing to watch your farm modernize in front of us. May God continue to bless your farm as you feed and educate America and the world. Be safe and continue to be a blessing.

[@Kevin986_]

I've been watching you since the beginning. It is so satisfying to see your progression over the years. I can't wait till you get your robot feeder in. It will make your life so much better. Thank you for years of information, entertainment, and joy.

[@neillouise7533]

That's fantastic! It's clear your family's farm has thrived through generations of hard work. Growing farms, expanding silos - that's a testament to your dedication and innovation. Subcontracting some tasks out is a smart move too, freeing you both up to focus on the bigger picture. And as for the future outlook, well, that sounds like it's in good hands. Eric, you are the internal optimist. You always see the silo half full.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

The blower unit is AWESOME! Either it didn't plug, you didn't film a plug, or the operators finessed it to keep it from plugging! A LOT of HP pushing the silage didn't hurt, either. Great video, and very interesting to watch a fill beside the build of #2! Love the drone work!👍👍

[@jazzerbyte]

Nice mowing shots! That custom blower unit was fascinating to study, cool to see it make that height. The camera worked great to observe the filling.

[@smarquardt10]

Dang!!!!! That's a lot of feed!!!! Hope all goes well for u farm!!!! Keep bring milk, cheese, and other to everybody's table. Thank u for farming!!! And thank u other farmers too!!!

[@bradodell633]

From a non- farmer. I am a huge fan kiddo. A retired carpenter, 70 y.o. too. Your content is so good, but this is great. Concrete is still curing in that silo and it’s already being used. Cutting, spreading and rowing ( for the lack of know proper terminology), this very educational stuff you are putting out for us farmer ignorant. Keep up the great content, kiddo. Love harvest time.

[@clairestaffieri4398]

Proud of you and your dad. That's not a good word to use but it is the only one I could think of to tell you that it feels so good to see you succeed !! Big bucks, giant commitment, enormous amount of research, negotiation and worrying. Finally, it felt so good to see you at the top of the new silo feeling good about working hard and finally reaping the benefits. One of your best videos. You could have run on for another 45 mins with such Good News.

[@Theedeewd]

45 min vid on a friday? what a treat

[@patring620]

What a beautiful silo. Glad it is working for you as advertised. I bet that is a big relief for you and dad. Congrats!

[@johnhaneke8708]

How exciting to see the new silo being filled already! I'm so glad everything worked out so well. You truly are blessed for all your hard work and now the cows can reap the benefits of your well-thought-out decision to go with the 132 foot silos. I am very happy for you! 🙂

[@kimcwhite6509]

I loved the video! Always fun to see you & your Dad during harvest, but really exciting to see your new silo getting filled! Lots of hard work! Can't wait to see you get to feed out of it!💙

[@tammygurke7482]

One of the best videos. A Farmer’s job is never done. Thank you Eric😊

[@jbizzletx3420]

Can't believe another year of getting the feed ready for the cows!! Wow!! Congratulations Eric

[@michaelzeigerman4273]

The most authentic and relaxing KZbin channel out there. Excellent work Eric!

[@krusejonathan01]

Hardest working man on YT. You deserve whatever the Lord blesses you and your family with sir.

[@miwilia]

The drone shots are real nice. Amazing how fast and how well the chopper and the carts work together.

[@lildill5717]

Not a single second of this video skipped, love the vids Eric! Happy harvesting/planting !

[@robertthomas5590]

A great update and I can hear the excitement in your voice. It's nice to see how things are working so well. Good planning..

[@geoffrohrer7807]

Glad to see it’s working out for you. That feed will make a lot of milk. 💪🏼🥛

[@kanakamaoli9642]

The silo pays off, good job guys

[@SuperFourwinns]

That was a great video. Everything looked like it was working just the way you wanted it to. Thanks for bringing us along. Even your 45 minute video seemed short. Great job.

[@_PhilippeT_]

i've always wanted longer videos, thank you for making my dream come true!

[@motor2of7]

God bless the farmers, ranchers and dairymen. Feeding the world one acre at a time.

[@stephc.4668]

Awesome video! So happy everything worked with the new silo! Loved the drone footage too! You have a wonderful and beautiful farm, and you all take very good care of it and the cows! God is good all the time!

[@somethinburnin]

That blower is really sending it!!! Awesome to see this plan turn to reality.

[@craigrhitch264]

How many yards of concrete does it take to build a silo that big. Glad it didn't have to be mixed by hand lol love your channel

[@michaelwallace5887]

Glad it all worked out on the new silo

[@Farmer_Jim]

i think the drone footage might be my favorite part of these videos

[@Trapper_Creek_2024]

The views are always spectacular ☺️

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

That blower is horsing it up there well. Looks good. The deflector works better in the bottom 3/4 of the silo. As you get to the top it doesn’t get out to the walls. You can add a power paddle to spread it further

[@moosetallone2]

I've filled a ton of silos with tractors and blowers but the setup with the power unit is very slick as well as the hydraulic carts with no PTO. 😊

[@patricka4609]

Truck driver here: We were always taught to let the engine idle for 3-4 minutes before shutting it down to let all the internal parts reach the same temperature as well as to let the turbo wind down while still being lubricated by the engine oil. Shouldn't be any need to open the hood, but I'm sure that doesn't hurt anything.

[@vickilund7206]

You're dead on about letting things cool to a even temperature as I used to operate heavy equipment and it is super important for the longevity of the equipment

[@aaronsanborn4291]

I usually sit in my dooryard and do my time sheet and stuff at the end of the day let the truck idle for a bit.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Got a lot done on this video, fun viewing for us. I bet you guys are pretty happy with the outcome to this point. Good luck with the next batch of silage. I hope y'all have a good day and weekend ahead.

[@dhenschel4]

8:40 'I open up the hood to get the heat to escape better' - The 7220 has a 6.8L diesel, and you should let that idle for a period after running and it cools the internal better than anything. (I would just run it lightly while returning and parking in the garage would do the same thing). Once you shut the engine off it can't get any hotter as there is no friction or fuel burning so raising the hood may speed the cooling but nothing else. If you had to quickly turn off the engine in an emergency after working it hard you would want to open the hood, do anything you could to cool the engine as it would be very hot inside and that heat needs to dissipate.

[@chuckg9805]

Ya gota love it when a plan comes together! Job well done. Great video, thanks.

[@davidkimmel5153]

Thanks for taking the time to share this video with us 😊

[@martinmallasch2814]

Brought back memories from when i was a kid, we'd chop hay for silage, fill a 50ft silo, blower was driven by belt. Definitely not as efficient as these guys. Thank you for video

[@nmccw3245]

Thanks Eric! Great to see the new silo working so well and congrats on a great triticale harvest. 👍🏻

[@jermynpedretti4761]

Gives a guy a certain kind of itch seeing a silo getting filled, lets go!

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Eric. Congrats on the Inauguration of the new silo !! I think this project was a good choice. Multitasking is on of your fortes !! Well Done today. The team on the farm is a well oiled machine !!

[@2504499]

Absolutely incredible footage on filling the silo! Well done!

[@131dyana]

Interesting mowing. We in the city have no idea what you fill your silos with. Thanks for sharing. God bless you and your family.

[@AliceistheGoon]

Great video! You got a fantastic crew working with you. Many thanks for the videos.

[@bobdevine4906]

Big milestone! Nicely done! Congratulations! Truly enjoy your videos!

[@RA-II]

Great job and glad to see the new silo system working

[@erniesouza6263]

Been watching your videos for a few months. Really enjoying your content. My Dad worked on Dairies his whole life. He sold his small dairy when I was 12 and ran a Dairy for the state of California at a prison. Your content brings backs memories for me at 72 years old. Thanks!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Amazing!!!!! It all came together perfect!! Pride is Shining. God Bless.

[@steveadams99708]

Great video. So glad everything is working as it should.

[@dannyholli0711]

I could watch your videos all day long. Your Dad and you working together is awesome. You’re a hard working man and that shows how you were raised. God bless you all. Keep the videos coming Sir.

[@DoubleD.]

I could not believe that blower chucked the feed up the high. Unbelievable. I liked it when you opened up the door on top and got flooded with feed. One heck of a blower. You and your dad made a good choice in silos for your feed. I can hardly wait to see the process for the automated feeders, the future holds a lot of videos from you and I'm hoping to see them all.

[@d2ndborn]

Happy Mothers Day to your wife and Mom!

[@larrybg9293]

That was really cool to see. Amazing. I'm really excited to watch this project. Good stuff

[@mykecollins3255]

OUTSTANDING!! Best movie I've ever seen on you tube. Thank you so much for sharing. I actually watched it twice..lol! God Bless and take care.

[@RiDankulous]

Very interesting activities! The silo unloader install and first use was great. The work of the harvester crew is always interesting. They operate very efficiently. Interesting the careful drying of the triticale in the lower portion of the silo and how that is beneficial and the disadvantages of being too dry, also. Filling a silo seems to take less labor than the bunkers in that people don't have to put down tarp nor pack it down by driving tractors on it. It also takes up far less acreage.

[@LenniePike]

This was a fascinating video and very happy to see the planning/investment that you’ve made paying off. Those silos are truly remarkable with everything you added to make them work so well. As a fellow Pennsylvanian (Venango Co.), you represent the hard work and ingenuity of our state so well to the rest of the world 👍🏻👍🏻 thank you!

[@donwilson1952]

Very informative AND entertaining!

[@danielleaman5946]

Really happy for you Eric. Can feel your excitement. I farmed until early 90s. Whole new world. Enjoy your videos.

[@stevebiddle8912]

Great to see you getting forage into the new silo!! Have a great weekend.

[@leefulcher8823]

Love your videos. Amazing to watch all of the progress on your farm. Thanks for your positive influence on KZbin. We need a lot more people like you guys! God Bless.

[@andersonbagents2963]

Enjoyed the video. It’s crazy to think of how far you’ve come since i started watching 5 years ago

[@SAtoUSAgirl]

Really cool shots from on top to the silo, especially looking down on the truck unloading into the silage pump and the drone shots!

[@kurtschwoppe7167]

Excellent episode! It looks like your new feeding system is off to a great start. It's going to be exciting to see it all come together.

[@phyllishalley8972]

I'm still in awe of your silos!!!! What a great video!!❤️. Ty!! Can't wait for tomorrow!!! God bless you all..❤️🙏🇺🇲

[@Hardlyable]

Nice, new operation for silage but I have to admit I had to look away when you were standing on top of the silo looking down. I guess you could say I don't do heights very well lol.

[@jdschini]

Congratulations on a successful harvest, and first fill of your new “super silo”! I absolutely loved this action packed detailed video of harvesting the Triticale. I am so thankful it all went well for your custom harvesting team too. You do such an amazing job of filming and narrating your video’s. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dairy operation with us. Have a blessed weekend with your family!

[@canvids1]

What a great video and I am so happy for you being able to get all that work done in one day. I worked for the Railway here in Canada (Toronto) for 31 years and couldn't wait to get to work every day. I would work like you flat out hours in hours out best job I ever had from 24 till 55 years old and I still miss it after all most 30 years. Keep the great videos coming and Thank you for your hard work.

[@GaryLaurin]

Eric awesome video. Great to see how everything is working all together with the new silo. 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@Blueriverfarms]

Congrats on your first fill with no major problems! Always nice to see new equipment work with no major issues. Regards, Bob

[@johnthompson982]

That was one awesome video from start to finish Eric everything worked out so well from mowing/teading to getting it into you're new silo you put so much hard work into it you're an amazing young man you're dad must be so proud of you and you must be happy first new silo filled Really enjoyed the video as always looking forward to the next one Best wishes from Ireland 🇨🇮

[@vorticosecomb]

29:13 so awesome to see it working! New silo being put to work quick! you guys are killing it. Love to see and loved the long form video

[@gilbertahsam643]

Wow this awesome and less wasted crop. Now you guys can build a roof on those bins you had to save grass and maybe store some material or machinery

[@JimWhitaker]

It must be a great feeling watching the first stage of your new feed storage and mixing system getting put to use. Congratulations.

[@jamesmisener3006]

Excellent day. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@rusnsc7622]

Thanks much for the mini documentary length video today. Enjoyed it. Glad things worked out with the silo and equipment. 🙏🇺🇸

[@billyboswell5877]

I really enjoyed this. I hope you guys make more like this. Im not a T.V. guy and id rather watch things like this that are educational. I lived one a small family farm for years and I miss it. But I never knew about silos and how they operated because we never needed one. Keep up the hard work.

[@robynmorris7945]

What a monumental first silo fill. CONGRATULATIONS on the first step for robot feeding. Thank you so much for this great video. That tedder was awesome!!

[@TheStuport]

This video Eric was an absolute awesome MUTHA🤣 and a perfect visual present for all who cherish the Mom's in their families this up coming Mother's Day! Salute to your Mom Eric and The Mom's Of The 10th Generation Dairyman Posse! You were on fire Humor wise in this reel my man! Hilarious visual of your Cool Trucker Look AND drinking soda's and watching YT Farming videos! A whole day between Soda's too! 😂 The Storytelling of this video was perfect for connecting the dots and realizing just how much time, effort, work, planning and sweat go into getting everything to mesh together! Closing in on a Half Million Subs! No Surprise! Appreciate the Bonus footage! MOO From next door in COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

[@elizabethbradley7621]

Wow, what a view from the top of the silo. Breath taking view love it.❤

[@robbmurray3079]

It is so awesome to see you and your families vision come true.

[@steverumbaugh545]

45 minutes sweet! Great video!

[@MichaelHolloway]

congratulations! you and your father are very good project managers - and I bet it's all in your heads. nice job. the whole arc of this project so far, done to a tee.

[@gblahnik]

I was going to ask about driving through the field but you explained that perfectly.. Times have changed since I was a kid. enjoy these videos of big time farming by a small family.

[@donaldgibson3121]

Good to see it all working OK. Big changes at the farm for the future.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, I thought the day of tower silos was over, 132 feet is huge, your custom man has a very good operation, thanks for sharing

[@wildwheelsdarin]

Great work Eric! I really enjoyed this one. You put a lot of work into combining several days of video. Glad the new silo has worked out so well!

[@brianbarnes350]

Congratulations! What a great day for your operation.
