GRINDING HAY!!!

Today on Echo Valley Farms, Blake and Bryce get to work on the hay grinder! The tire is a little flat so we have to fill it with air before we take it anywhere. After we get it out of the barn we have some work to do! We get all the bearings greased up and show you guys how to change a PTO on a tractor! Once we get that hooked up all that’s left is the hydraulic lines, connecting the PTO shaft to the tractor and we’re ready to go! There’s part of an old bale in the hopper of the grinder so we grind and clean that out before putting a fresh bale in. Eventually, we pull it up to our feeder and the hay starts flying! The calves love it! If you want to know why farmers use hay grinders and learn a little more about cattle and farming equipment this is the video for you!

Thanks for watching!
Echo Valley Farms is a small, four-generation family farm in Eastern Washington established in 1976. We grow hay, wheat and raise a few head of cattle. Despite being young we have hardcore work ethics and love to learn new things around the farm. We enjoy fixing and building things, taking things apart and using equipment. The intent of our videos are to show what farmers do on a day to day basis and educate people about farms. We love the farm and we hope you all love it as much as us!

nice looking 4230 when you fired it up I was like yay boy

[@mbateman6732]

Snap ring not o ring! Nice work

I'd love to find an old grinder. I only feed a couple bales a day, but I think it would help save hay and improve palatability.

[@echovalleyfarms4030]

Yes definitely it’s great for that

[@terriricks1519]

Terrific video! I have two questions....(1) Have you ever known a cow to have hay fever? Yes, I'm serious. Watching that ground hay fly in their faces made me wonder! (2) What impact has the pandemic had on your farming operations and family?

[@foxonkbm5082]

A thousand views let's go Blake!!!

[@royalburrows2323]

Good job explaining. That Roto Grind is real old. A 1977 or 78 machine. many improvements have been done since that time. You should see a newer Roto Grind machine work!

[@echovalleyfarms4030]

I would love to see a new one work! But I’d love to run the new one even more lol.

Just heard a couple days ago that a guy I know got caught in a hay grinder. Lost his arm up to his clavicle and part of his leg. Serious caution is a must when working around anything with a PTO or fast moving parts on a farm.

more vids!!! dont get discouraged,it takes a while to get a channel to kick off!it wont be long though!

[@echovalleyfarms4030]

Ok thank you for the encouragement

[@beans7231]

Can we have more content please. Anything would be good.

[@stevensdad4877]

I'm thinking this would be a great way to prevent loss of feed with goats! They tend to waste more than they eat if you just toss em a bale.

[@tomcampbell815]

Do you guys know if there is a way to change how finely the knives grind a bale?

[@jamespetty9545]

How did the 4230 handle the bale grinder?

[@echovalleyfarms4030]

It did really well, it didn’t get pulled down at all.

[@mbmcclure3579]

What brand of grinder is that?

[@echovalleyfarms4030]

It is a roto grinder

[@mbmcclure3579]

@@echovalleyfarms4030 thanks! I like the looks of it. I’m not familiar with any of them but I’m looking in to getting one. Thanks for the reply.
