Heavy Lifting | JCB Teleskid 3TS-8T

[@genedameier8746]

Have you considered getting old wood pallets to stack bales on. It would allow for air flow under the bales.

[@HowFarmsWork]

6:21 might wanna turn the volume down a tad!

[@CurrentChoices]

WRAPPED bales in White how that turn-out??

[@ryanlevis7532]

I will now activate hyper speed to unload these bales faster

[@brandonvaske9311]

Did you by that white grain feeder from Bernard ia

"Another Day another JCB Cold start" I love that lol

[@chrisrasberry7169]

What are you feeding your Cows for the winter?

[@dfredk]

Ryan, semi tires work well for stacking bales on. We started using our bald ones with our cornstalk bales and it has prevented a lot of loss

[@SuperScooby70]

Glad to see the spears still going strong for you Ryan! Pretty cool grabbing 2 at a time.

[@HowFarmsWork]

They’re useful for moving hay fast! Thanks Nate!

[@bryanraddatz790]

Merry Christmas! Thx for the shorter videos! Keep em comin!

[@AgrarfanLP]

We put those bales on pallets in order to keep them dry on the bottom. Pallets are cheap and you don't have waste, if you feed the bales.

[@merrymanrc]

Ryan do you think about putting the hay on some wood pallet to keep them off the ground

[@leol1682]

Ryan do you have block heater on your JCB . If you havent it help .

[@kershaw117]

@How Farms Work, out of curiosity what was the elapsed tie to move all those bales?

[@HowFarmsWork]

About 1 1/2 hours start to finish

[@markjuliestutzman4490]

Love your drone work and shots. Put old hay down on the floor before stacking. Even on a wooden barn floor, if we did not have old hay on the floor, the bottoms would draw moisture like that.

[@kimnewburn957]

Try using your pallet tines for mucking out they work realy well as you can pick the shit up in one nice block & it saves time if u lay the first lift onto the top of your second one but the downside is that its a block of shit & you need to break it up if its going into a spreader unless you have a beater spreader cheers

[@decland47]

Can you do a tour of Travis barns and barnyard?

[@kevins5092]

Yep, gonna be a nice manure hauling video in the future, big pile ready to go

[@CertifiedForkLiftOperator69420]

ever thought about investing in a pair of bale grabs? we use em. they are alright. helps with like you mentioned. not break any bales by mistake or when handling.

[@shyfarmboya]

Like the power slide.

[@daleley7645]

Pretty impressive , the JCB looks like it handles 2 bales easily. That machine seems like a great fit on your farm.

[@reggiefaggart196]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Keep the videos coming. Stay safe.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Merry Christmas to you as well!

[@waterskiingfool]

That jcb is quick

[@daspicsman]

Merry Christmas to you folks. Thanks for the videos and for taking us along for the ride. It really means a lot.

[@Token_Civilian]

A thousand and one tasks to accomplish to keep the place running. Nice vid, with great drone shots as always. Like the burnout around 9:55. Slick. Question: Lots of hay in eastern Washington is stored outside, but all tarped up. There are huge stacks of large rectangular bales over there - easily visible from I-90 near Ellensburg, for example. Is tarping with outdoor storage not effective or practical there to preserve the quality, or not practical given the particulars of your operation (round vs large rectangles, no good location, etc) ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

I would have to say it’s not practical within the means of our operation to spend the extra time tarping it alone and untarping it alone in the winter months.

[@gruffjenkins5603]

Are you planning to do some whole crop next year

[@ArnieD17]

Basically you are asking if they are going to put up some sort of silage. With out buying new equipment, which would guess is not in the bubget, would guess no.

[@brianhomolka4570]

Can you load a semi with the jcb 2 high with 2300 lb round bails

[@georgedavidson7986]

Ryan When are you going to cover the floor on the old barn ???

[@bryanraddatz790]

Happy New Year!

[@athumblessman]

I'm glad to see the JCB is getting put to the full use with 2 bales at a time. Twice the work in half the time adds up very quickly when moving bales lol. It looks like you were drifting there a bit at 9:00 - So i'm curious if that happens alot with the JCB + 2 bales, or is that just do to the amount of snow on the ground? It looks like the JCB handles the bales really well so I was surprised to see it slide at all lol. Loved the drone shots!

[@FoolOfATuque]

I’m impressed that the spear can handle two bales at once. It would be interesting to see how much less spoilage you have with the bales that came out of the Kuhn baler compared to the old JD baler when The hay is stored outside. Since the Kuhn bales are wrapped so much tighter I would suspect spoilage would be less.

[@janicewheeler5172]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

[@banjobenson9348]

Do you still have that Demo manure spreader ??

[@mikebonge7206]

[@nathanvanfossen1391]

Merry Christmas to you and Hannah and to your family

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks! Merry Christmas!

[@bobkyllo578]

I've always wanted to ask. Why do you stack your hay like that?

[@dmc3742]

Stacking bales on end inside a barn helps prevent them from pushing the sides of the barn out as they settle during storage.

[@levipeterson2307]

man that jcb is a best

[@Mr.frag-out]

Who makes the engine in that thing?

[@danfinley3690]

Sweet video always cool to watch

[@michaelc9128]

Wait till it's super cold in Wisconsin, and Ryan will start by a Super freezing JCB cold start

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

Would it be economical for you to wrap your bails that way they could stay outside without getting damaged ?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Yeah provided we have access to a wrapper

[@robertstibz9506]

Don't suppose having the hole in the side of the shed has anything to do with bale sitting on wet ground?

[@HowFarmsWork]

No the ground was wet when we stacked them inside.

Absolutely would. Wish we had one of our own but that’s another expense

Hey Ryan, I dont know if this is a rumor or not but I heard Bobcat is coming out with a bigger skid loader for 2021! If it does come out, is your dad gonna buy it?

[@jeffreyhouston2043]

Stacking the hay the other way would eliminate one process of flipping them and grabbing them again. Plus they won't retain as much moisture with the exposed ends open to the elements. It's always "interesting" seeing how you guys do things though, lol.

[@athumblessman]

I believe they stack them this way is for stability. Tyson (Norther Farmer) does the same thing with his bales, by stacking them up on end at the bottom they wont have a tendency to role around, and you get a flatter surface to stack the next row on. They do however stack the top row the "standard" way for the exact reasons you mentioned of shedding water/snow etc as well as easier to move. I agree though, I love seeing how they do things! I've definitely learned alot from how they do things than what I am used to lol

[@jeffreyhouston2043]

Never seen hay bales roll away in a barn, but I've never seen tillage done the way the do it either, lol. Northern guys have a strange way of doing things.

Hey Ryan just catching up

[@ronaldjennings8057]

Yeah it's going to warn about the balm of those bills that look kind of bad what if you give late some things down on the bottom of that and then set those on top if you can get it clean how come you ain't rapping the bells outside is that too expensive the rapid eye will that make the hay go bad being out there with the snow and everything on it just got curious ride you have a good day my friend take care of yourself keeping us some good videos

[@timhood6970]

I agree, pallet forks work much better

[@mikerellim333]

You should check out dodge brothers on KZbin they feed their cattle in some round bales feeders that keep hay off the ground and seem to be real effective

[@curleman]

that jcb is a awesome little teleskid for your farm.. great vlog.

[@jamiemiller6156]

Have you guys ever seriously considered using tarps? I know Travis mentioned he might talk to Wes Pandy about the possibility. I was curious if there was a specific reason you are not doing it.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Extra time, labor, etc. we don’t run enough cattle in one location to spend the extra time tarping everything. Wrapping would be the way to go.

[@SmallMartingale]

Awesome!

[@tedwpx123]

👍Slick machine

[@chevyon37s]

Man. If everybody could store all their hay inside they’d need 10-20% less hay. I much prefer bale spears. And back in 2012 I built a dual bale spear for our bobcat as my senior year welding project. Use it a lot and really speeds up unload from our semi and stacking hay.

[@tedb.5707]

Just saw a vid on the new-to-the-US JCB 1CX Compact Track Loader and Backhoe. What a beast... Though Ryan and Travis could use a used Cat 4 or Cat 5 bulldozer to grade and push-back the shrubs and trees.

[@rossnolan2883]

We see 1000s of round bales just sit and rot in the field in NE Kansas. Must be fun Making them -- is this more farmer govt. welfare?

[@fleminj2pa]

I find the yours, dad’s and Travis’ references to be a little confusing. You guys are all family and you farm together using the same equipment so why isn’t it all for the benefit of the family farm? You’re not the only farmer that discusses things in those terms. Seems like most do and I guess I don’t get it. My brother and I are partners in a family business and we own and operate it under one S-Corp with equal shares of stock and ownership. Why are family farms so different?

[@scottroberts3158]

I cant say for sure, but i suspect its because they each own their own land separately but share equipment, which is pretty standard even in non family farms, alot of farms will go in equally for equipment while not being co-owned.
