Maintenance & Weekly Chores

[@cedarman211]

I love when the cows jump around - it makes me happy! 🙂

For the pathway you may be able to dig a pit next to the area where the water is gathering and make a french drain deeper than the water is sitting. It will eventually tun downhill. If you can dig under the concrete pad you can put a perforated pipe leading to the drain to assist with movement of the water as well.

[@tomprivate3362]

Under the drain for the pipeline place a metal bowl, it will prevent the water from eroding the concrete. If you'd use a stainless steel pet food bowel the milk inspector might approve. Occasionally it could be thrown in the wash sink to keep it shiny. Not sure how inspectors are in Pennsylvania, in Wisconsin it would be acceptable to some inspectors.

[@dralord1307]

1:20 well it might be a bit difficult now but, a bit of tileing going to the culvert would probably be your best solution. that way you dont have a trench to drive over, and it would constantly keep it drained.

[@fritzheidi2647]

They have really good acrylic epoxy you could possibly do your whole floor in there around the milk tank and have it sealed up

[@joeandjudygreen5398]

Merry Christmas to you and family.

[@irvenrathburn9421]

Hi Eric, things are going along nicely. There are just a few things to do with your holding tanks. There is always a little thing but you get it done.

[@kyleg2367]

Water is following stone under the concrete down the hill ending up at the bottom. Dig down beside concrete and install perforated pipe dig trench to side of inlet cut then cut a hole in the box and stick pipe through.

[@simplegreen6596]

This.

I'm of a mind Eric that MANY who watch this channel would love to volunteer a day or three to come work with you and your Dad for FREE! To be able to chat with you both and get hands on experience working on your Farm would be very cool. My Dad was a 30 year USAF Pilot and Officer and I still remember him saying how Farmers and Military Personal were from the same cloth in that BOTH had to do their jobs on the fly while making adjustments for "problems" while getting the task at hand done! Your Videos throughout 2024 have been awesome and looking forward to a positive 2025 for Your Family and Your Fan Base too! Thank You! MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio 👋

[@carynix8043]

Merry Christmas

[@hubertutt5842]

Make a French drain from one side of the concrete to the other and core a hole in the box 4” should be plenty for that small area if you wanted to make sure go the normal size and go 6” ya be a lot of hand digging under the slab but don’t look to long just have stone close to the top and top soil over it the water will get through and into the pipe

[@jeffw8057]

I suspect you need a culvert or a channel drain under the sidewalk to facilitate the water flow, Eric. Merry Christmas to you and all your family! God Bless!

[@harveypenner2386]

Great job!!

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Buy Rock tire and it’s Self leveling and pour it out!

[@burtzorn4059]

I'll bet the girls love the soybean bales

[@michaelgray8301]

Hello 👋

[@tomgraham5536]

DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH DROP IN ELEVATION YOU HAVE - A SMALL PATHWAY MADE OF PAVERS MIGHT DO THE TRICK. THEY ARE PERMEABLE SO WATER CAN PERCOLATE UP THROUGH BUT CAN CREATE ENOUGH OF A SMOOTH DRAINING SURFACE SO THAT WATER FLOWS....

[@barryfitch6026]

Barry from NZ good man working

[@centexan]

Your concrete guy should have a way to dig under the feeder roadway to put in either a small culvert or French drain.

[@ScotWalt858]

all good!

[@TheIvalen]

00:30 My dogs goes ape at my vacuum cleaner when I use it. Can't imagine what he'd do when confronted by a robot feeder.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

Hi good morning 10th generation from Indiana

[@mr.rubber_duck]

Could put drain tile along the sides

[@ChristyCrosby-e4y]

Maybe pull that slab up & put a small culvert in and with your drain ditch like you have should be ok!! ✅

[@zechariyahelnadavbinyah8025]

three inch tile under the wet area will help or a 4 inch pvc pipe routed under the slab area to the drain would help.

[@AshtonSolanik]

Maybe try this take a PBC pipe use it as a little culvert and then leave a little drainage ditch to the drain

[@JohnBrown-pw3bz]

Can you add rings to the tops of your mineral containers? In order to hold the entire delivery? Also, can the plastic bins?The expanded in height?

[@johnbucklerfarms]

Dig it Down and bore a Hole using a Pipe and Water then Put a Piece of Pipe under it and dig it to Drain and knock a Hole in side of the drain Box for Drain Pipe!

[@beebop9808]

French drain piped over and punched into the catch basin is the best my nimble mind is coming up with. Probably nimbler minds out there than this one though. lol Hey! 2 days till winter solstice! Come on spring!

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Put a pipe across it to drain the water away from slab

[@Justangs]

Does your dairy have the Agrivolt system? I thought I seen the older model of boxes hanging on the wall in the parlor utility room?

[@TheOldBailey4135]

Push a pipe under the concrete, as long as one side is lower than the other.

[@fritzheidi2647]

Pipe under the concrete in a French drain on both sides so it'll drain

[@bikerboy4life41]

Put a pipe under the concrete for the water to flow. Probably the only solution and make sure it can't freeze and block water

[@bikerboy4life41]

Epoxy coating on Milkhouse floor may help

[@PetterPedersen-c5j]

First!, I’m a real subscriber over here

[@jjhbhd520]

Hi, Eric!

[@sheetmetalgi]

French Drain along side the concrete.

[@robpersons]

How do you override the robot system when you are adding the supplement by hand?

[@JLRobbins]

I don’t think he needs to override as it goes by weight. So it won’t put as much when he is shoveling it in.

[@Diesal3]

How many cows do you have now and out of those how many get milked generally? I know it changes but an average of how many you milk in a given day it what Im asking.

[@ezrhino1803]

that looks like a leak. any lines nearby?

[@jamesdalton8322]

Need to put a pipe with holes in it so it drains

[@geraldgibeson1151]

JB weld would work a lot better.

[@kristdaa4612]

Do you ever get concerned about the dust that the sawdust and whatever that was you spreaded today, how that affects your cattle when they are breathing all that in.

[@mr.rubber_duck]

It really doesn't affect them that bad there nose is so covered in saliva that dust would really have to try to get to the lungs

[@peterkangas3127]

you might want to try epoxy to fix the concreate

[@trudyeagan8160]

[@neillouise7533]

French drain: Trench filled with gravel or rock, often containing a perforated pipe, that redirects surface and groundwater away from an area. It works through gravity, channeling water to a safer outlet.
