Cutting it CLOSE!!

[@DanKlein_1]

Glad you commented on why you grind hay. I wasn't sure if for those reasons or if you do something different like mix it with something else so it had to be ground. turns out, no. it is just so they eat more of the marginal stuff and eat all of the plant. makes sense. less waste. 👍

Good luck hauling your winter wheat Tony and Tim

[@billykimball1614]

Now who says that a Square Peg won't fit in a round hole 🤔. Wonderful video, Tony and Tim. God bless you and both your family's 💪🇺🇲👍

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Tony and Tim

[@stevebiddle8912]

Had never seen a hay grinder before I started watching KZbin channels. Hope you guys all had a great thanksgiving.

[@jaybernieschoep]

merry christmas to and your family and hired men and families.

Good luck getting your hay ground Tony

[@alanlaub4890]

Another great video 😊

[@FootBallDad67]

QUESTION: At 11:00 Tim mentioned mixing Spring wheat with Winter wheat, is there any differences between the two?

[@FastAgMontana]

@@FootBallDad67 winter wheat is normally lower protein. This year it was higher than normal due to the heat.

[@roymills2564]

hi tony so what happens to all the string from the bales?

[@Flatlanderexpress]

captain obvious.its shreds into the feed pile and gets caught in the cows gut.then the cows all die

[@aaronisaak8071]

It's sisal twins it biodegradable

[@mtevilone]

@@Flatlanderexpress why respond like that? Tony has followers who are not in agriculture, and have questions. This is a family friendly channel, and doesn't need bullies on it.

[@MB93WP]

The cows don’t die from it unless there is a huge ball of it

[@roymills2564]

@@mtevilone thank you. i do come from a farming background tho ,but from the uk and dont think we are allowed to do that here, thats why i asked the question,

[@MM-vh8vh]

Génial la traduction !

[@shealy265]

How about a before/after pictures of your large rock/dirt pile.

[@IRONLION003]

May I ask why you don't take the strings off??

[@ianlund1086]

I replied to another comment. The majority of the twine or netwrap gets caught in the grinder

[@AuntNikisFarm]

@@ianlund1086that actually isn’t true. While there is a small amount of twine and wrap that gets hooked on the outside of the tub and the conveyor, the majority of it gets ground into the hay and fed to the cattle.

[@AuntNikisFarm]

The reason for not taking the twine off, is because if they were to cut it, the bale would fall apart and would never make it into the grinder. A lot of guys will cut the netwrap off of round bales, and while some falls off, the tractor can scoop it and add it to the grinder tub at the end. Straw acts the same as the big square bales and falls apart as well, so most guys will leave those together as well.

[@IRONLION003]

@AuntNikisFarm i have seen numerous other farmers cut the strings off so that's why I asked

[@wagon9082]

Good video

[@Freefarmer533]

Our trucks run on Liberal tears!!

[@raincoast9010]

You grind up the strings too?

[@lloydzilinski4401]

I'm curious about the hay grinding. I grew up on a farm north of Edmonton in the '60s and we had a Gehl hammer mill which was progress back then. Ran off the PTO from a Case 830 and the mill did a great job but the scale was small by today's standards small square bales fed down the as broken up piecemeal chunks. So we obviously pulled the Tennessee off the bales first. So my question is what happens to the twine on those big square bales and, if it is just ground into the feed, do you use sisal or plastic? How do the animals' digestive systems deal with that? Or is there now some different materials used for twine, like perhaps hemp? Are there new materials for twine that the animals' digestive systems can handle? Just curious about this. A follower from Edmonton.

[@jackbannock3458]

Id say 50% gets wrapped into the grinder and the other half is ground up into the feed. I've seen a few cows have to get cut open and netwrap balls pulled out of their gut.

if you need hay go to rock valley iowa hay sales.

[@david19659]

Dumb question but doesn’t the wind blow a lot of hay away?

[@FastAgMontana]

@@david19659 not it settles and crusts over from moisture.

[@relandguenther4907]

Great looking trucks and grain trailers 😊.. Nice getting the pay check for a year's effort, but need better prices,right?

[@DavidERetzer]

Hi / Love your videos / do you take off the twine before you grind hay ?? Thx

[@ianlund1086]

I replied to another comment with more details. The hay grinder catches most of the twine or netwrap.

[@derrickpettit86]

So did the radio get fixed in the truck, what was the issue with it

[@billschaben2329]

Only way to do it. Grinder all up together. No waist.

Why don't you grind hay and put it into a lean-to or covered shed ?

[@markweiler8172]

Check what annual precipitation is for his area

[@JHruby]

I'm guessing it has to do with the cost of a shed vs the benefits.

[@garrytitford2595]

Why would he want or have time to mess with cattle, when he has a 13000 acre grain farm. Tony and Tim are hard working guys. I'm not trying to be jerk but having cattle also is quit a commitment. He'd need fences,access to water and they should be checked everyday , then there's feeding them every day in the winter and calving. And wow if you ever want to go somewhere, you got to line someone up to take your place .
