How Farms Work 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. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
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.
Be sure to subscribe for new videos every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!

Obviously not trying to tell you how to do this but a little piece of advice you may try in the future. Straddle the pipe with the tracks of the excavator. Start digging on one side and as you move across the driveway you can just keep backing up. This lets you put the dirt directly next to the trench and when you want to backfill you can just push it in the the blade or skid steer. Plus it reduces your swing from 180 down to 30 degrees. Great video.

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Yep I was wondering that.

[@jaronkennedy7885]

Adam Trost also makes a cleaner, narrower and straighter trench

[@brianwebber7168]

Since both ends of the drive way were steep. I think he made the safe choice for his apparent skill level .

[@dwightkuster8249]

Brian Webber yes that is why we did it that way. Both sides very steep.

[@brianwebber7168]

Dwight Kuster , hide the keys unless you are there to supervise.

[@damoncrockett9321]

Got a bunch of seat time on the 35g one of my favorite machines they are a tough little machine and very dependable.

[@that73farmer]

We had one to use a while back on the farm. It's a cute little toy that gets a lot done in a hurry!

[@jacksak]

That 35G sure is a beautiful, useful little machine. I don't need one but want one.

[@mikedobson2988]

Nice job Ryan, i never heard you say you were an expert excavator, so most of us understand you were doing the best way for you. Just monitor for settlement especially after you get some moisture on your on your fill. You could even add moisture yourself and keep packing it with one of those deeres. Good job.

[@MatthewHoag77]

That's a great project to get done during the summer. It's nice that all of you played a role in replacing the culvert. Great footage as always, especially the slow-motion action shots. Have a great weekend, Ryan!

[@Cowman-ck4gi]

Awsome video Ryan!!!!!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks!

[@NicolaeCristian1003]

Great video ! You are a best farmer and youtober !

[@danielsweeney6742]

Looks like Travis is having fun.. Awesome job!

[@georgewyrick1859]

We have a 2011 JD 35D series for our plumbing business and love it.

[@bhurley5243]

Nice machine, beats digging it out by hand. Another great video.

[@hannaatvs134]

We had one at my farm to dig out cow Manure and they work really well

[@FoolOfATuque]

We have a 17G and it's not quite as fancy as this one, but it is very nice for trenching. It has the hydraulic thumb and we have three buckets for it. I've dug a lot of trenches for conduit with it and we have dug a lot of drainage ditches. We have a bunch of ditches to dig right now, but we are going to do things a bit differently this time. We are going to use a single bottom plow to start all the ditches and then come back with the ditching bucket to smooth the sides.

[@stevemondal.]

Thank you Ryan.

[@dsmreloader7552]

I rented an old 17C a couple weeks ago to redo a tile by my house, steep learning curve but a lot of fun. You guys did very well, not CT3 or LD smooth but darn close!

[@brianwebber7168]

Travis is a good operator. Good video. It would make a good commercial.

[@allied1394]

I love these we have a case that’s how we clean the enclosures where cows are or other animals just put everything into a pile let skidsteer come and grab it takes to long with skidsteer trying to pop it up or if it’s slippery they make life so easy

[@fredivory4304]

It's just a BABY! It's so cute.

[@wilbontrager8628]

Great video today. My uncle wants one like this on his farm!

[@albertnance625]

Great video!!! That the next purchase of the farm. Also our mini excavator is a E85 and our large one is a caterpillar

[@billykarwal980]

travis looked like he was having lots of fun playing with the toy

[@jbmbanter]

Glad you mentioned mounding it up because when I worked at the funeral hope the graves would often sink in and we'd have to call the guys back out to add more dirt! LOL! Needless to say the families weren't happy.

[@jackcarmichael3020]

Hi your vids are the best

[@lsm_optix3176]

Jack Carmichael also your videos are interesting

[@davidvincent3010]

Nice machine! Sure looks like alot of fun. Thanks for the video

[@blakeb1992]

Your no Letsdig18, but you got the job done! Excavators have so many jobs other than digging!

[@corysgardentractors7084]

please film some more storms... i also enjoy watching u mow around the farm and working in the fields... thanks for uploading. lets everyone see how farms work... - get it? 😄

[@trossponsor9077]

This comment didn't impress me it really shows how unintelligent you are!

[@milehightarantulas8563]

2:50 gotta be the best transition ever !!

[@jacobsimpson3901]

Great job Ryan on the video nice lil John Deere there

[@terilowe9528]

Good video love to see videos with all of you guys in them keep up the good work thanks.

[@owenscheider1874]

He shook it more than once! He's having fun!

[@leol1682]

Like it man , Pipe - John Deere 35G.

[@lsm_optix3176]

Its always fun to watch excavators doing their job love your videos ryan

[@backwoodscountryhallgren2033]

those john deere 35g I ran one years ago helping my buddy. take water tie tube 😎

[@ReverseProof]

I need one! Not sure what I'd use it for, but I need one!

[@ryanblosser7681]

Honestly Deere should just use your videos to promote equipment. It looks so professional! Great job Ryan!

[@arnoldromppai5395]

LMFAO

[@brandonwaldron2542]

Loved it ryan

[@carfreak1807]

thank you for providing great quality content. i really enjoy watching all of your videos. keep up the great work. i cant wait to watch the future videos you are making. its nice to see how a farm works and what goes into making a farm work.

[@shar-richfarms2149]

We have a mini on our farm we bought it year ago and it can be a lot of fun 👍

[@alexanderpowers4515]

Great video as always can't wait to see the how to operate video

[@mrih1586]

Neat little machine. Wish I had one. Can't get over how dry the ground is up there. Your soil must drain good or you've much less rainfall than I imagined.

[@HowFarmsWork]

We have good drainage and it’s been about 2-3 weeks since we’ve had any meaningful rain. Storms on the horizon

[@rongrose3746]

Like your videos, family. Stay safe ! from Indianapolis.

[@marksims7]

Great Job on this install!

[@paulc8581]

Nice work Travis

[@georgecrouch8729]

good job

[@tatetomandl8341]

Great job you should be the photographer for john deere commercials

[@oscarddhh8183]

Mini excavators are fun to drive

[@jonharrington9545]

How not to dig with a excavator you made ten times the mess but you got it done next time straddle the pip and side cast also don’t curl bucket so fast and less dirt falls on the ground. I will say you get a thumbs up you got the job done.... just helpful critism

[@iowafarmboyphillipsfarms3791]

Can definitely tell y'all don't run that kind of equipment much but good video keep up the good work Ryan!

[@lukestrawwalker]

Nice rig... we rented one of those mini-excavators when my folks were getting set up to move to Shiner... made short work of a long job... I LOVED the thing! Only thing missing was the hydraulic "thumb" but for what we were doing we didn't really need it, so it was okay. I hated to send the thing back, actually... ton of fun to run and the work went SO fast compared to doing it with a loader tractor or anything else... Later! OL J R :)

[@stuartsplace100]

looks like fun to run

[@Northern_Farmer]

That's one thing I wished I had on my excavator was the hydraulic thumb!!

[@wongcheongfoo9509]

不u8

[@FoolOfATuque]

We have one on our 17G and it is awesome!

[@richardbloomfield1247]

Travis is like a kid in a candy store

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good looking machine!

[@IHVA-ir9gp]

Ain't it great to have the right tools

[@treytonzoss1853]

Great video! Good job on that culvert!

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Great video Ryan!!!!

[@alanirishkelly6704]

Thank god for Sloan

[@HowFarmsWork]

Yeah they really pulled through for us!

[@arnoldromppai5395]

well, green horns,, it needed to be compacted in 6 to 8" lifts, and compacted really good on both sides of the pipe it self before totally coving the pipe, any loss dirt on the sides of the pipe the water will find its way along the out side of the pipe and wash, giving you a big sink hole, to were a car or truck wheel will drop right in.. no care was given to do it right operator is in need of a lot of practice. .

[@HowFarmsWork]

We can’t all be experts at everything! All I know what we have now is 100% better than what was there before.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

hfw you got that right, can only do the best one can.. and learn each time

[@brycemarsaglia3601]

Great video! I was anxious to see what your snapchat meant yesterday!

[@steveholton4130]

Another video of The Kuster Boys Playing with John Deere Toys. sdh in CT

[@SledgeHammer43]

Go find some stumps Ryan. Perfect opportunity to get rid of some stumps.

[@TheBuvaCrew]

Those excavators are a great tool to have. Love this video!!

[@alvinroundy6856]

ryan you had that bucket waving its hair like a blond model. great video

[@reidfamily67]

great music choices keep it up

[@cameronchandler6819]

We have the same one just without a cab

[@kennethmarlow2731]

Those are fun to operate

[@calebjewell3173]

Oh the fun I'd be having in that skid steer

[@deereboys5838]

I love watching your videos and have you ever thought about a bigger combine

[@frederiklarsen1610]

Amazing video god job keep it up

[@noelhohberger1188]

I'm not going to lie looks like a good time to me

[@michaelpreussoutdoors8976]

Nice vid we got an exavator las fall there a handy machine

[@jameswrighton8279]

I don’t mean to be critical but that is a very agricultural way of putting in a pipe.

[@nate486]

You should get bags of concrete and stack them around the ends. Once it rains they’ll get wet and harden

[@wbball15]

Dad's looking like a good foreman.

[@johnloken1445]

Good video, interesting videography,

[@leviebeling3551]

Hey Ryan how come you didn’t run the executor and awesome videos I love watching your videos

[@kylerruiz414]

Awesome video

[@therealjoey724]

A mini excavator is like a tractor. Once you get a hang of it it is easy to drive

[@arnoldromppai5395]

umm you dont drive equipment, you operate equipment, you drive a car you drive a truck

[@RyanChapman-od3cb]

travis lookes like a kid in a candy store haha

[@davidwpinkston4226]

i could have a lot of fun in my back yard with that

[@WiedemannPhotography]

Nice slow motion parts.

[@tannerrichardson9515]

Oh the things I would do with that excavator

[@nickferderer2585]

HealthyPoison I was thinking the same thing

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Like dig holes?

[@johnlong9655]

Looks like he just learned how run that machine..

[@trendinvestor2893]

It would have been much quicker and easier if you had straddled the old culvert with the excavator while you were digging. That would have allowed you to dig a much narrower Trench resulting in less material needing to be removed and less time to move it. Your trench ended up being probably twice as wide at the top as it needed to be. By positioning the excavator as I suggested, you would only be needing to swing the machine 90° to the side to drop the dirt instead of swinging it a full 180 degrees. It would have also been much easier to get a consistent depth & A flat bottom all the way across the trench for the pipe to lay on.

[@charlesdetke2227]

I was going to say but I see your dad got a shovel to hold on too. That made this video look like you guys worked for the city of Milwaukee but you didn't have a cup of coffee in all your guys hands.

[@warny835]

That would be a great machine for a landscaper.

[@kristenscott9438]

Cool vid, Ryan! How much rain did you guys get down there last night and earlier this morning!? Hope you guys are stay cool as best as you can! God Bless!

[@circlescollecting8886]

we call them tinhorns down here

[@chriscrosby8012]

AWESOME!! How old was the culvert u pulled up definitely lived it's life great teamwork. Should be good to go now👍

[@jamesajoachim3]

beats shoveling by hand

[@thomasmiddlebrooks5169]

You could have dug the pipe out a lot faster if you would have straddled the pipe. Great video btw!

[@spencespencer3814]

Did you get a chance to run the mini ex. Looks like travis did the whole video

[@billwestphal1421]

Let's dig would be proud lol

[@fredd8770]

Another A+ video from HFW.

[@stevenmiddagh6265]

damn good job boys.

[@batman1989keaton]

Tell Travis he handled that like a pro. Is a natural with an excavator!

[@robertduffy5302]

Hi Travis , use the rafters for a shop or main shop??????????

[@Nderak]

Porta-john on tracks with a digger arm :)

[@marshakrebs4348]

Porta shitter/crapper love it what kind of tractor brand do you like I like Allis Chalmers and like Chevy trucks

[@Nderak]

Me? I don't have a load of experience, but Toro and Volvo has worked out pretty well for me

[@rogerwilson9361]

Well now that tile need to come out it is a wonder the whole driveway didn't fall in on itself just to have deal with where it fell in at end of tile. The excavator that would come in handy around the farm but would have use for it once in while.

[@paintballshooter27]

How much do those 2 counter weights weigh
