Farmer friend told me that a dairy cow takes a crap every 40 minutes. It explains the quantities of bovine guano being dealt with here! The best compost we were ever able to get was from the truck wash-down at a freezing works. The slurry went into a big settling tank; liquid pumped off and remaining solids heaped up to dry off. Most of it was taken by employees for their gardens as it was full of earthworms, grade A1+ stuff! Col, NZ

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I believe it there is a ton of manure very quickly. Hope you enjoyed it.

I drive a salt truck over the winter and I love all wheel loader content. Good to know about case loaders, I've heard some things before what you said as well. I drive a cat 924K and my truck and that loader is great handles a lot of salt really well. I'm glad I don't have to mix the salt and the smell...

Hi there from Australia How many cows at that dairy It must be huge

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They milk about 1200. I think they have about 4 to 5000 cows.

[@linebattie6005]

It would be nice to look at the dairy barn sometime.

Yeah, it’s definitely enough to cover all of our ground

[@LeoKrijgsman]

You don`t have air a air dryer on your compressor ? And i see that Jilles Boer on your site, do you like his farm ?

@@RockyMountainFarmer Yes i see your videos and i enjoi them. Jilles Boer is also on youtube he has a small farm with patatoos in the Netherlands, maybe you see some things that you can use.

[@OhRonaldo]

Tehren, what if you put one full loader scoop of the driest at the bottom rear, would that try to seal the back of the truck, or does the entire bed leak? Great content as usual ❤️

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That would work. And we use to do that but now there just isn’t enough solid to be able to do that. Glad you like it

I work on a dairy farm we use knight side slinger manure spreader it can handle anything from dry to straight. liquid manure

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I have seen those. They look like they work good

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Talking to my son who works for JD he thought there should be a breather in the front axle of that loader and the oil should have come out of it rather than blowing the seal. Maybe check on that to keep it from happening again or to the other loader.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That is good to know thanks for the heads up. Odds are it’s plugged with manure.

[@RJJ6129]

How many cattle do a that dairy have ? I always wondered if the manure when it breaks down made any difference to the soil composition since your soil is sandy. Thank you

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

The milk 1200 but I think they have about 4000. And the manure definitely helps change the sandy soil because one of the fields I guess used to be really sandy, but we’ve been hauling Manure on it for so long that it is no longer Sandy.

[@craigstitzlein1148]

Grew up on a dairy farm. I can smell this video. 😂

For the real sloppy stuff ive found that the slinger type spreaders work the best and every case loader ive been around turn to just junk fast i like the cat and deere loaders way better

[@ArthurFagan]

What happens to the manure over winter? Do you haul it over the winter? From the dairy

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We used to haul it in the winter, but it’s just too hard on the trucks, so they just stack it up when it’s cold and freezes and we haul it out in the spring

[@jillesboer]

greeting from the Nederlands

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks for watching

[@Legend-gi3zz]

all you have to do is find another chassis with old equipment like that never scrap the beds if you can replace the chassis save you 20 or 30 grand most of the time but i do recommend have the beds updated when you do sandblasted and painted and everything gone over and replaced to as new as possible so your starting out with an almost new vehicles after your done!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We may try to save the bed the problem is these old yellow beds are so rusty that they have holes everywhere.

[@TymonMasa]

​​@@RockyMountainFarmersorry for asking, but do you use manure spreaders on trucks because of the long distances, or are manure spreaders for tractors simply not popular? And what is the approximate load capacity of such a truck? Great videos, greetings from Poland, hang in there and look at European solutions 😁

[@joebufford2972]

We just want to watch how your farm operates on the off time and how you have to deal with stuff along the way

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well, there will be plenty of that coming along this winter. I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffcatey7457]

Is there any economic benefit from investing in a tunnel mixer to agitate your manure storage? Have you had issues with your processor spuds and elephant hide or scab from applying manure to your tater ground? What I mean with a "tunnel mixer," is a machine used for composting that takes a manure windrow and mixes the manure and puts some oxygen back in to help get things cooking before applying.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

A tunnel mixer would work to dry it out I just don’t think the dairy wants to invest in one. We haven’t had problems with our potatoes.

[@DonaldLade]

Pre trip check fluids

[@cmc7106]

All that manure for a glass off cold milk!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

[@justinmills8084]

How many milk cows do they have?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They are milking 1200 I believe

[@northwoodsguy1538]

Manure adds nice organic material to the soil. Too bad you/dairy farm don't have good access to cheap sawdust or wood shavings to soak up that water and bulk up the manure. 😎👍

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, it definitely helps out the soil. We do not have access to sawdust around here though.

[@Skunky281]

I never thought I would like to see a person hauling poo but here I am and I’m liking it😅

[@jaythomas4695]

Why not have a vac tanker spreader an just suck up most of the liquid a 8000 gal would make short work

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Try the "store" that Millenial farmer, Welker Farms and FastAG use. Im sure if you reach out to any of those farmers they will help you.

@RockyMountainFarmer Farm Focused is the company they use.

[@cliff4695]

Is the dairy part of your family's operation or is it completely separate?

[@JamesWest-iu4jx]

On another video , he said it was his uncle's ... possibly might be able to video on it someday but wasn't sure.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It’s my uncle’s dairy. We just haul the manure and grow some hay.

[@tombrockwell6961]

To a new watcher to your channel, do you own the dairy also, thanks for all the information especially about potato production….& storage

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We don’t own the dairy just haul the manure and grow hay. I’m glad you are enjoying it

[@donald-w9y]

What kind of agreement do you have with the dairy concerning the cost . Or do they just pay you top haul it.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We pay them for the manure

[@rigger4695]

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Do you pay for the manure? If not and the only cost is handling it it's a heck of a deal for fertilizer. Adds biomass to the soil too.

He said on another video that the dairy operation was his uncle's and the move the manure for their fields.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We do pay a little bit for it. It’s definitely good for the soil.

[@maineman11]

Now the truck that blew its engine in the field, why didn't you have him activate the body to fling the poo out before driving the truck back? I get that all the people replying to my comment will have excuses and reasons why it can't be done in their opinion. But I can promise you it can be done whether you're flinging poo or pumping oil for raising a dump body on a dump truck. I can personally speak to the pumping oil and the raising the dump body from experience. Both motors were worn out Cummins .

[@TimothyAmiot-zr8ec]

It barely had enough power to make it back to the shop.. never mind powering the pto

[@vfromid2186]

Likely not enough engine life left to get that done and back to the shop.

[@tuberNunya]

No engine means no PTO, means no hydraulics, thus no workie.

[@maineman11]

@tuberNunya the motor was still turning their for the PTO still turns therefore the hydraulics still flow therefore it does workie workie.. It would just workie slow.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

He did try to run the beaters before I started filming and the pressure against the beaters killed the engine so I told him to turn it off and just take it back to the shop.

former trucker here... the worst thing about trucking is, now I get that operators don't want or even has space for more than 2 trucks at once a LOT of times, but they have to realize that even though we all left you at staggered times we'll end up coming back in bunches an you don't understand why... well we deal with City Traffic which includes Stop signs, Stop lights, Yields, jams, Idiots with a license, and different driving styles. All of which can result in a "Bunching" effect resulting in trucks coming back to you in 2's and 3's or 4 at a time, that's just the way it works, not like we're stopping at the station every round having a 10 minute B.S. break
