Dead In The Water - Meteors Caught On Camera While Hauling Bales

Travis and Ryan started hauling in the hay bales from the 25 acre hay field when the Bobcat wouldn't start just as a snowstorm was starting!

How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

There's another shooting star at 10:20 just above the tractors cab

[@HowFarmsWork]

christopher smith Whoa! Good spot!

[@jacksak]

The nighttime shots of you all working in the cold blowing snow trying to fix the skid-steer are powerful. You always work hard, but that shot highlighted the hard work you do and how determined you are to get it done.

[@doggedout]

Good to see that JD came equipped with "Ludicrous speed" tow gear.

[@nolanchambers4408]

Lmao i agree

[@bighouse1283]

At first when you were towing the truck up the hill I thought that was regular speed! I then realized it was a time lapse, lol. New meaning to " get in, shut up and hang on" 😂🤣 😎👍 〽️

[@jacksak]

I've watched your channel for a long time now and rarely make comments. But, you make really good videos. Thanks...

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for watching all this time!

[@canvids1]

Working in a snow storm just makes things a lot more interesting! been there done that. Great video thanks.

[@lewisgeyer1440]

I was about three-years-old, sitting in a family friend's truck during sugar beet harvest, saw a shooting star. That was 50+ years ago.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Hey Ryan we just bought a JCB Tele handler used from a rental company. I have to say all of your videos on the JCB you guys have had really weighed heavily on my decision to purchase it so thanks for all that! On another note you have to love your brothers personality. Some of his lines are so funny: the first thing he says after seeing that shooting star was “that was what killed the dinosaurs right “😂 happy Thanksgiving to you and your family bud

[@TheVideoSteve]

That JCB is sure the best

[@hoberghacienda2267]

What?!!! You mean to tell us that farmers don't take off when it snows?!!! =-))

[@bobcrone6151]

Shooting star and dead battery. If only you had experienced a Sasquatch siting, you would have had the trifecta.

[@RKHarm24]

Since it was snowing, Maybe an Abominable Snow Man or Frosty the Snowman!!

[@countryboyforlife2921]

Bob Crone or a demogorgon siting

[@leol1682]

Love the video Ryan and Travis , Don't stop the bobcat .

[@HuntGamingProductions]

Someone call Kelloggs and tell them their frosted mini wheats are ready

[@MatthewHoag77]

Nice job getting that hay hauled despite the conditions. It's pretty wintry today up here in northern Wisconsin, and I, for one, am glad I don't have to run the snowplow or Bobcat with the wind we're getting. I'm surprised you didn't get the bale flip on camera. Happy Thanksgiving to the Kusters and all fans of How Farms Work and The Rest of the Story!

[@EtzEchad]

God, you guys work hard. I've been working as a delivery driver but right now I decided to take the day off because it snowed. I can't imagine doing what you do. Of course, I'm 66 and in horrible shape, but even so...

[@freighttrain1399]

You read my mind about the jcb 😂😂

[@jimc4731]

The greatest things about the Teleskid are the telescoping boom, side entry and the heat/ac!

[@lukebriggs501]

On the top hinge of the back door on the bobcat there is a piece of metal that you slide up that will hold the door about straight open

[@jamesm9766]

Everyone make a wish lol

[@DumbOhioFarmboy]

If you like that Jcb skid you should really try their tele-handlers. Things are an absolute beast and fast enough you don’t have to trailer it everywhere.

[@clinthochrein888]

Cruising down the highway listening to Clint Black. 🕺🏿

[@ginggur17]

Hope ya get the lil JCB. Sure looked cold and biting out there. Nice light show. Keep warm guys.

[@fitzieindoorsoutdoorsadventure]

Happy Thanksgiving Ryan and keep the videos come Ryan!😀😀😀😀

[@cornflake73]

That JCB looks to be pretty handy, I would have that over the bobcat anyday.

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

Hmm more lifting bobcat but jcb not so much

[@sonnybeach4932]

unloading from one side AWESOME wish I had that capability

[@klugfarmsklug9323]

A loader tractor, with a quick hitch. ( One man operation,) no need for 2 skid loaders. Pickup & trailer either. I use Attach Matic brand quick hitch, made in Canada but.

[@theyarddogs4100]

One in a million on that shooting star Ryan coll video buddy. Carl

[@hanksfarmvideos]

Impressive!

[@homey3051]

If it isn't one thing or another , it's always something The hits just keep coming

[@danielrandolph9170]

Scope boom way to go Happy Thanksgiving to all your family be safe

[@lukestrawwalker]

Nice... love seeing shooting stars... Sounds like the skiddie battery just gave it up... time for a new one... Later! OL J R :)

[@KerboOnYT]

Western burbs of St Louis here, heard the boom from that meteor passing over

[@dwaynemurphy814]

Hope your whole family has a great Thanksgiving.

[@valeriewilliams1738]

Great catch on the meteor! I'm impressed with the JCB and especially that telescopic boom. I really like your channel, because of the different machinery that you get to test. If I had the budget for a new piece of equipment I would consider this. However a post pounded is on the list first. Don't you wish you can clone yourself, that way everything could get done?

[@jeremywilliams1835]

The meteor hit about 15 minutes from where I live. Last I heard, no one has found it yet

[@banjobenson9348]

Glad you could get out on the Tundra and get things done

[@tjrasmussen8328]

That 773 is a good machine we got one and its a live saver

[@lukasbutler3521]

Did you end up buying the JCB teleskid or is your demo not over

[@peterzweck1763]

I don't know how you guys deal with all the cold and snow. I couldn't work in those conditions. Of course where I farm it's only snowed once in my lifetime and only gets a few frosts in winter. Cheers from down under.

[@foxacresfarm7595]

How many hours have you put on that jcb demo?

[@HowFarmsWork]

About 100

[@RockBrigadeCommunityForum]

@@HowFarmsWork damn good demo..... congrats on the sponsorship. They are so versatile that when you do the math they can replace many tools on the farm and save many backs lol. Once you pay off the Rig you could use that cash to put toward a jcb or another Rig..... passive income is always nice when things get paid off. :)

[@kevincreech7345]

You will like that Tela skid when it comes time to load that khun manure spreader

[@Robertshrawder76gmail.comTract]

Happy Thanksgiving to u ur family nd friends

[@00springfeature]

Please get a hay spear...i cant take it lol

[@HowFarmsWork]

We own two, and prefer the pallets usually.

[@jasonstockbridge1489]

Great video Ryan and hi Travis lol. Nice shooting star lol happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@jamesmdavis1523]

How cold was it this time doing this?

[@lumpy1603]

Seen 1 in southeast iowa Was pretty cool

[@farmboy-rz5xh]

Hi Ryan did you guy's purchase the JCB or leasing it keep up with the videos. 👍

[@mikethehorribleartist2814]

So did y’all buy the jcb

[@lidsman2221]

How is your pet cow doing? You have not shown here in a while or any cows for that matter. Maybe you could do a cow update video. Thanks!

[@hammbone8643]

Did y’all buy the jcb for is it just a demo still

[@carlbous]

What size is the teleskid?

[@ronaldspruill2247]

It will be what it is !

[@thedeere1012]

How many hours are on the 76

[@Forevermissingmyex]

You should put led lights I in the bobcat

[@austinhayes3901]

Best thing I found if you have the means for them are kinetic ropes

[@billsexton4811]

Hello Ryan , great video but I must tell you , when wishing upon a shooting star you must ask for all new equipment with no payments . Don’t use your wish to start a piece of equipment . Happy Thanksgiving to you and Travis and the rest of your family !

[@hyperbossboy7453]

When are you returning the teleskid?

[@JussiValkila]

We're getting a snowstorm in friday evening

[@Farm382]

Can you stab the pallet forks through the bale or does that just push the bale? I love the videos

[@benbeaty2500]

It would depend on how tight the bales are to some degree, but it would have to be pretty loose. On really solid bales sometimes I can only get the spear to go in half way.

[@richardsmithson-waudby6826]

Hi Ryan when are you going to test a JCB Fastrac on the farm cant wait for when this will happen JCB are great machines and also the fastest tractor on earth have a good day Richard wales UK

[@iminsane84]

fire in the sky

[@codyleger2338]

What happened to your durmax? At the time you got stuck

[@watermanone7567]

Thanks for that video. If you run the Bobcat with a bad battery, you might burn out the alternator. Better get a new battery in it ASAP. Thanks, and hope the snow stays out there for awhile. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@jankotze1959]

It looks like an expedition on the North pole

[@paulhudson8321]

Nice to catch a meteorite on video. With the amount hay straw and fodder bales you move why don’t you grab yourselves a better bale wagon.get a flat top the. You can use it for round and square bales as well as transporting other things like equipment and you can double your hauling capacity for bales.

[@saintanger5876]

Whats the deal with the jcb? Still a demo? Thats one long demo

[@dimduk]

Losing power out in the field and things got country dark in a hurry.

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

I was under the impression that farming is hard. Looking at your videos (have seen quite a few of them, rather interesting), it seems less hard than my current job. Maybe a little dirty and sloppy from time to time and maybe a bit frustrating off and on, but I believe I could handle it. Doubt you will read my comment, but if you do, what kind of work is available on a farm and "very roughly" what kind of pay is expected? I know there's no way for me to own a farm, but hey, if the pay is decent enough, maybe I'll try my hand at working on a farm in the coming year or so. I'm a wee bit out of shape compared to my past, so I would prefer to get in better shape first.

[@michaelgreenfield465]

Did you guys buy the JCB tele skid

[@Oliver0200]

This shook my house! Landed 30 minutes away from me

[@TheCarhartt1]

4wd on the truck not work?

[@carterh5683]

I saw that shoot star and I live in Michigan

[@jasperstaats4998]

Did you buy the JCB

[@hunter.2big]

are you selling a john deere 4440

[@robert5109]

Seems like all of the 773,s I have been around mine in particular , the hydro pump is very load. Yours sounds to be the same way. Does not seem to be a problem just annoys me.

[@parkershipley4562]

That a good wish Ryan

[@paulgeier7324]

thats farming in wisconsin hope water not froze yet

[@jonlindner8022]

Loyal Wi also saw it 🦌🐄

[@nathanbrodeur]

Did you put the pickup in 4 low ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Yes I did

[@user990077]

In your hay day you moved a lot of hay.

[@bethfrazier414]

I guess if it went perfectly, you would wonder why!!!

[@brianrutherford3229]

Hey it's a used machine right now.you need to tell them that.it became used the minute it left the dealership yard

[@credixon8203]

AKA KREE. PLEASE PLEASE. BUY. THE. JCB. ITS. VERY. HELPFUL. AROUND. THE FARM. STAY. WARM. AND. KEEP. THOSE. GREAT. PLAY BY PLAY. LIVE. VIDEOS. A. COMING. THANKS. BLESSINGS COMING.

[@jamessmith9685]

Freakin' aliens man

[@TheOneSaskatchewanFarmBoy]

Don’t you have 4wd

[@mikethemedic4141]

Instead of using the hay trailer would a gooseneck trailer be better? Load the skid steer up take it all to the field and load up more bails in one trip. It would be a multi use item.

[@HowFarmsWork]

That was our original plan but since it snowed we couldn’t, there’s no way we could’ve gotten it in without getting stuck or sliding into something on the way out

[@mikethemedic4141]

That's what I figured. I figured y'all had one or two but I have not yet seen one. By the way nice farm. I got the opportunity to drive by during the summer when I was having a class in Madison.

[@mikethemedic4141]

Since I am from Texas and live out in the sticks to it was a good opportunity to drive out in the country and see y'alls neck of the woods.

[@kellykonoske91]

Is Jamie ever around anymore?

[@HowFarmsWork]

No

[@thomasleonard1846]

Chain is more dangerous than cable!

[@HowFarmsWork]

As long as it isn’t metal cable!

[@benbeaty2500]

When I took tractor safety 20 years ago they had a video they had us watch of the stored energy of a chain, cable, and nylon tow strap when stretched till they broke. All 3 would penetrate 3/4" plywood when they snapped back. Basically they told us any one of them could kill you, so be careful, and dont overload any tow apparatus

[@HowFarmsWork]

Ben Beaty That’s a very good mindset to have.

[@Leofred2000]

BobCat issues?? Check out Andrew Camarata yt and just buy Japaneese stuff

[@chevyon37s]

You don’t keep a tow strap in the truck? Shame on you!

[@mikeyjohnston2703]

Wouldn’t a loader tractor save a lot of time in this situation

[@HowFarmsWork]

How so?

[@mikeyjohnston2703]

How Farms Work you wouldn’t have to haul the skid steer and deal with the hole stuck situation. then you wouldn’t had to have had Travis driving that truck there. So one operator one machine vs 4 machines and two people

[@t.money1196]

Mikey Johnston one operator one machine? So you’re telling me you’re going unhook and hook the bale feeder 20 times and that’s going to save you “a lot of time in this situation”? That’s only one factor to mention too there’s so many other things that play into why that isn’t a faster process.

[@mikeyjohnston2703]

T.Money11 that’s a hauler not a feeder also take just a few mins to hook one up so yes it’s cheaper and faster also if unhook and hooking is killing time build a gooseneck hitch for the hauler and weld a ball on the hay fork then you never step out of the tractor

[@FARMALLL666]

HOWS JAMIE DOING? YOU NEVER MENTION HER ANYMORE...

[@HowFarmsWork]

We aren’t together anymore.

[@FARMALLL666]

SORRY TO HEAR THAT..HOPE YOUR STLL FRIENDS.

[@joshuathompson7528]

I would’ve laughed for days had you turned the bobcat off a second time and then went to Travis and said “I did it again.” I love how you guys stay cool, calm, and collective in situations like that.

[@afarmerslife2092]

Hello Everybody hope your having a great day. 👍

[@mikeh7708]

The aliens 👽 did it 😂.

[@robertgorsett1586]

call BARNWOOD BUILDERS I bet he would buy that barn from you

[@RKHarm24]

When the Bobcat died, I shouted CALL HANNAH, but you didn't hear me. She could have probably fixed it. Happy Thanksgiving Kuster Farms.

[@carterrodman8132]

You have snow down south in Wisconsin except my place don't have any snow in central Wisconsin

[@MatthewHoag77]

Northern Wisconsin got quite a bit, although it's not as much as I was expecting. Another snowstorm is coming later this week, as well. I'm glad I don't have to work again until December 9th!

[@benbeaty2500]

I'm in central WI and we got 6-7" last night into today

[@christianmuller4716]

A couple years ago my Brother and I had a similar Problem when we hauled bales to the cattle. We didn't have another tractor or truck with us that Time. In our luck someone came by and helped out. We finished the Work and when we wanted to leave I already forgot about the Problem and shut down again. 😅🙈 when I saw my Brother going crazy I immediatly remembered. He walked over, ready to kill my ass and I just wanted to get out of his way so I started the tractor again. We could Not believe. Since than we always keep an extra eye on the cables and contacts in Winter. 🤣

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

those eye brows are coming in nicely for winter. Time to buy my winter "How Farms Work" hoodie. That JCB is the bomb.You're getting your money's worth out of it.

[@00Silverado]

Yay I’ve been waiting for this video since the preview on your insta and Snapchat!! It’s finally here
