Good video! Takes me back over 50 years ago. Back then we waited until spring to haul out the manure in WPA. You might have had a warm spell but that manure looked fairly frozen in some spots when loading it into the spreader. The ground still looked frozen where the tractor was, but really greasy on the surface. Have watched many of your videos, enjoy them all.

[@MrDaChicken]

Looks like that skid steer bucket works fantastic for that job. Having emptied out many a pole barn with a conventional loader/manure bucket, ( tractor/front end loader) seeing how the grabs helped with separating bucket loads was pretty neat. Because stabbing under the manure and having a 25 sq. foot layer of manure want to come up all at once, with the expected result. ( Loader says NO!), could sometimes make for a lot of rocking the bucket up and down to separate things. Funny story. The FIRST thing my Dad bought as a young man with his off-farm earnings was a front end loader for our CA Allis. About 1957 or so. Because he'd had quite enough of litter carrier/pitchfork method by that time....:)

[@fergie35X]

4020 sounding great !

[@canvids1]

Ryan you are just getting better and better at making your videos. I used to make videos and if you look at my site you will see that I haven't made any videos in some time for various reasons and I was getting pretty good at it as well. But you have with your knowledge a way to make great videos and what helps you so much is the Drone. thanks for taking the time to make great videos along with your brother we out here in cyber land enjoy what you give us.

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

I watched Travis' channel where you guys started loading the manure and that bucket on your skid steer really is a great investment!

[@poorfarmer1101]

Never a good feeling when you know you don't quite have enough tractor for the job. If it is flat, everything is fine, but bring hills into the equation and it could get sketchy quick. Stay safe.

[@chasetemple3129]

Change that to, if it is dry, everything is fine. If it it wet, nothing is fine. That 4020 has plenty of power for that manure spreader

[@craigschofield64]

Gawd that skid steer sure makes that job a hell of a lot easier that when I loaded the shit spreader 45 years ago with a pitch fork!....lol

[@chasetemple3129]

Didn’t y’all have loaded tractors?

[@chasetemple3129]

Loader

[@craigschofield64]

@@chasetemple3129 actually no we didn't, according to my uncle those were for rich lazy people, he had us kids to do the work why would he spend the money on a luxury ...🙄 Plus if he had one it would sit in the barn and get polished because if you used it the thing would wear out...that was the way he was

[@schott106]

Can't believe February people still in field. I'm from Manitoba Canada. Like barren tundra. Can't wait to get back out there

[@jamiefrench9023]

Love to watch the old iron get to do some work around the farm.

[@breezyridgeranch]

Great video. These style videos are always my favorite

[@henriqueroque3701]

All old machines are beautiful

[@benburns5995]

That was very creative Tom. Sure different from all your other videos.

[@davidharris6581]

Amazing to me how y'all set that tube and chute up every time. Here in Texas people with much smaller herds than y'all s have dedicated working pens.

[@toms1499]

I honestly think you should leave the 4020 just as it is with the cab on it. Restore it mechanicly maybe but having the cab on it adds to it's historical significance I believe even if it is aftermarket. Good video Ryan!

[@jlsmith6310]

White Pines Acres I agree. If the cab was on it for most of its life I think I'd like it kept on. Even if it is aftermarket, that's what it had on it.

[@leol1682]

Enjoyed the video Ryan and it remind me of my younger years .

[@rileygarcia5958]

leo D l do you have snapchat

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Just got greasy is all, that bucket looks nice. That 4020 is in great shape. Is that something that has been in your family a long time?

[@chriscrosby8012]

Clean barn is a good feeling🙂❄️

[@jeffhoser7717]

Is that twine or wrap on the beaters ? Since some of that manure appears frozen how does the drive box and beater system like it ? IAC< when time presses we don't always get to what we plan or want . Keep up the great videos !

[@MatthewHoag77]

Remember what you were saying about the handiness of 4WD/MFWD just a few weeks ago? Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh well, it's not winter driving unless the knuckles get a little white and the "pucker factor" takes effect.

[@ajburns5376]

Matthew Hoag I thought the same thing

[@garyhelms3467]

Ryan, did we miss the tractor windshield instillation? I know it was of interest to several. Been trying to watch videos so as not to miss it. Any update, please?

[@HowFarmsWork]

It might be another month or so. I'll film it when it happens.

[@garyhelms3467]

Thank You very kindly. Meantime I (we) will continue to enjoy your videos.

[@jamesburton1587]

How Farms Work Ryan is your favorite tractor the 4640?

[@myronyoder5352]

Hey look!! You shaved!! Baby face is back!!! Great video

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video Ryan thanks for sharing

[@luisbeninca8697]

Hello Ryan, can I ask a question? Where do you get this songs you put on your videos? Thank you, keep up the good work!

[@This1LifeWeLive]

That is one nice steel I beam barn! How many pounds per acre of manure do you try to apply?

[@seanashcraft6984]

Ryan! I know how u feel abt getting stuck. I did that 3 days ago. But we managed to get unstuck and we took another path, then worked our way to the muddy part of the field with 2 tractors instead of 1. Just say that was smart of us to think abt that before we do it again.

[@cropfarming9290]

How meany acres have you got all together

[@MultiMrNoone]

How do you like the cab on the 4020? I’m looking at a 4020 but I’ve heard the cabs aren’t that great.

[@trentonherink8868]

Every farmer needs a good 4020

[@barnyardmowerz4409]

4020s don't get stuck they get work done

[@JesseEder]

What Editing software do you use do use the youtube editor or a downloaded one ryan.???

[@schott106]

Does the freeze thaw affect your alfalfa over wintering. Had a ton of winter kill last year. Really weakened stands. I know Manitoba different then you. Just curious

[@moonlightblade1080]

Geez how many trips do you have to make sure looks like you need to upgrade.

[@Timberland-Farms]

Do you drive the drone and tractor at the same time? What drone do you have? I’d like to get one for my own channel

[@hturbo1007]

Ryan, do you still have the tire chains for the 4020?

[@alolson3359]

I can remember doing this job by hand with pitch fork shovel and horse drawn spreaderin Iowa back in 40's and 50's

[@ReverseProof]

Very cool video. Well done!

[@mariafernandaangel4263]

I have a question. How much weight can pulls this tractor ?

[@tomekc1113]

Just curious, there’s no steering rack? It doesn’t need tie rods like a car? On the tractor

[@jlsmith6310]

Tomek C yeah they are on it. There right behind the front axle.

[@billwhitman1529]

I'm pretty sure that with some weight in or on the tires and wheels you would have had a much different experience. For an aweful number of years, we hauled manure with 2-wheel drive tractors and did fine.

[@jacksonhunterandfarmer2673]

Very great vid Ryan Stay Safe Guys 👍

[@williamgames9125]

hello I just subscribed an liked your video's because I use to farm back in the 70's an 80's an I'm from n.c.

[@wisconsinfarmer4525]

Nice video. That happens to the best of us.

[@georgewilliams6657]

Awesome video man the drone footage is awesome sounds like that skid steer might need some grease hahaha great job though keep up the good work

[@moisespineda1789]

How many oil gallons you recharge in your machines?

[@jdmoosetracks4670]

Another great video!

[@jarrettflamang3659]

When do we get to see what is behind the 7600

[@andynaberhaus4069]

Tires would be a good investment as well as grease.... Edit, I have the same spreader with lots more miles on it. Guardrail makes pretty awesome fence does it not!

[@patrickstynes9676]

Ryan what is your favourite job on the farm?

[@boblablah3166]

what is the "demo piece" that is on the 76?

[@jpw1490]

Is the window still frozen on the 72

[@generationll]

Would the 7600 with mfwd have helpef?

[@110fbpres]

here on the edge of Lake Erie, you would not be able to spread on frozen ground because of runoff possibility

[@b210wah3]

Hows the rock bucket been going?

[@fergiehenderson408]

what drone?

[@baginak9162]

How much you have got cows? Greetings

[@ButlerFam]

The soil provides for the livestock, and the livestock provide for the soil...and that provides a living for the farmer.

[@jakeoht791]

What is that trailer next to the miller welder in the beginning?

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’s the generator

[@jakeoht791]

Oh cool I could not recognize it thanks for replying. God Bless

[@claydighton1044]

Is that a hiniker cabon the 4020

[@ScotWalt858]

The steamy side of farming :) All good!!

[@jeffhoser7717]

What no birds in that long shot of spread manure ? When we were dairying the sound of the tractor and spreader was the dinner bell to all the birds that wintered over in NW New Jersey ! We'd see everything from sparrows and starlings to pheasants, crows and the occasional red-tailed hawk and even a falcon or two. Once or twice I've even seen owls patrolling the spread.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

thanks for the 4020 video.

[@Puffleman13]

I can hear the pins on the bobcat screaming for some grease

[@jamesverburg5478]

Me too

[@kadenwatt2033]

Yeahhh...

[@markmortensen4341]

Always like to see that crap going back on the fields. I feel it really helps there soil.

[@rileygarcia5958]

Mark Mortensen do you have snapchat

[@markmortensen4341]

Riley Garcia -I'm almost afraid to answer haha but yes I do.

[@rileygarcia5958]

What's your name i will follow you

[@markmortensen4341]

Riley Garcia -Shoulder be under Mark Mortensen. I haven't had it but only a few days.

[@markmortensen4341]

Riley Garcia ---What is you're named in snap chat?

[@shiftedproductions1629]

what year is the 4020

[@montybolinger6383]

Looks to be about a 71, I have a 70 but this one has only one light on each rear fender facing forward.

[@johnmarshall2024]

Doesn't your State Dept of Ag/EPA frown upon hauling manure onto frozen ground?

[@robthompson466]

FYM is ok as it cant wash/run off unlike slurry which is well known for it

[@tboss2.034]

How many acres do u have

[@wildcard1494]

We have the same seat in that 4020 in are 4430 and it puts rashes on my back does anyone know how to fix this

[@adamoffen788]

I hope the "surprise" implement isn't a blade.

[@lucasmakk9279]

Does the heat on the 4020 work?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Remarkably yes!

[@larrynichols7450]

what horse power is the 4020?

[@stankmeme2885]

Larry Nichols 90-95 hp

[@stuartsplace100]

here in Vt,u can not spread from 12/1 until 4/15

[@gabesmith654]

I don't know Ryan looks like you did a crappy job on this one...Lol I like that old 4020 we had one when I was a kid no cab and had a loader I learned on that tractor I'd like to find one like it again

[@clevermonicker1887]

I literally feel better watching this 💩💩💩💩😱 than I do watch the news!!!! I feel like I accomplish ed something following you around 👏👏👏

[@PhatboyHD88]

Time to get one of the big Hammers out buddy lol

[@TheFarmingLife]

Thanks for the video. Something we need to get started here on the farm Hauling manure the weather is just been peachy maybe we'll try next week. I haven't used a two wheel drive tractor in a long time to haul manure that must be a fun experience again. Someday I want to get a 40 20 powershift tractor to add to my collection. Have you guys ever tried different brands of oil. Hope you guys have a great day and talk to you later

[@DiggyTheDwarf]

do you even own any 2wd tractors?

[@ronkeking97]

Here in norway we used our ferguson and tank, liquid manure. Mf 7726

[@thomasrichardson3537]

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

The Farming Life - a 4020 would make a really nice addition to your collection of tractors.

[@dougg3060]

The Farming Life out looking for more views again for your boring Channel. All you do is copy all of the other Channel's. Post the same thing everyday about Cattle And all your equipment is a piece of crap. Oh you can't forget what makes all your money by killing people.

[@MordusdepleinairQuebec]

you don't have snow?

[@zeke7561]

I think I see a Rhino bank mower peaking out in the bottom left corner behind the 7600 at the start of the video?

[@josecarlosarmentaperez3511]

RYAN ME DA MUCHO GUSTO SALUDARLO Y SABE ME DA MUCHO GUSTO QUE EN SUS VIDEOS SALGA SU JOHN DEERE 4020 PORQUE UN SERVIDOR TIENE OTRO IGUAL, ADELANTE CON SUS VIDEOS SOY UN FAN SUYO Y TODOS LOS MIRO.

[@ustinman8446]

That manure looks 3 ft. deep, maybe 12 -14 loads?

[@domingotorres3616]

Good job , i love Rancher life

[@maxdamron4020]

You need to put new tires on the 4020! Or at least some good used ones it needs more traction! Great video though always enjoy them!!!

[@shar-richfarms2149]

How you like the new camera

[@billdepew2506]

Can you do more pov while driving?

[@aaronjoles5883]

This was one “crappy” video. I’m joking it is a good video as always

[@farmboyo2397]

You want to sell the 4020?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Definitely not

[@garywaxler5537]

I think it might be time to checking on new tires for the 4020. Tread looks like it's getting a little worn. lol

[@jeremysmits9784]

Gary Waxler that probably won’t help in that situation, the ground was still frozen but it was warm enough to make the top slimy. It’s just like putting water on top of ice, makes it hard to get traction unless you have tire chains

[@eddeetz493]

Would it be less expensive to prestage fodder and hay bales (ring feeder) train cattle to electric fence in the lot and feed in pasture or corn field. Saves spreader aroma and field compaction, time, wear n tear and fuel money. Build a travel swayle for cattle back to water. Cattle don't compact and moves water to ponds with nutrients. Local tree companies may give away wood chips to save dump fees. See a truck with chipper call. Set orange cone for dumping site. Great deep bedding in cattle barn and compost after. Many ranchers like letting the animals do more field work than humans using expensive equipment, fuel and time. Would a bale wrapper, electric fence and a solar charger be money better spent than barn yard cleanup expense and a new spreader? Good for custom work if you plant pastures waiting on grain to recover.

[@gumelini1]

Ed Deetz we use straw and sawdust for beding

[@tntcattle6246]

We might start spreading this week we haven’t been able to cause everything is froze right up

[@seanashcraft6984]

TNT Cattle I agree with u on that. Because were the farm I work at in Northern Missouri. Mother Nature can't make its mind. Some days r above freezing and other days its below freezing. The pass 4 weeks I have been cutting & splitting wood to sell for firewood. Today's high is 34°s & feels like 11°. And this Tuesday during the day and night is 60% of snow showers & the high is 26°'s, at night is 10°'s. I know what u mean by everything is frozen.

[@tntcattle6246]

Sean Ashcraft yeah it ain’t looking good for us

[@seanashcraft6984]

TNT Cattle nope it doesn't! R u from Missouri?

[@tntcattle6246]

Sean Ashcraft nope I’m from NY I’m gonna make a video on our weather here in a bit

[@seanashcraft6984]

TNT Cattle cool

[@edwardpidwinski9060]

not enough traction to go uphill you can see ice under back wheels

[@mattkammeyer611]

Oh come on! Hit the differential lock and take it wide open in 6th gear! You will make it.

[@chasecasper890]

Great vid i like the soloshot veiws

[@claydog6422]

How do you even spread frozen poop???

[@ethantrout2407]

you should fix the old barn up that stuff is being lost today.

[@HowFarmsWork]

I hope to make enough money someday to be able to restore it before it falls over.

[@ethantrout2407]

looks like its not bad other than the roof.

[@HowFarmsWork]

The foundation is failing so it’s not going to be a cheap fix

[@caidynmeyer6529]

Nice video

[@baronbetz6890]

Kinda a small tractor for that manure spreader

[@billjoe9455]

What happened to Jamie?

[@goodlifefarming2589]

You need to get grip on those tires

[@joelmollenkopf3767]

Excellent

[@goonerair]

Hate to say it, but eventually you'll likely be restricted on application times like we are here in MD. We cannot spread from Dec. 15- March 1

[@robthompson466]

Not even muck? Here in Wales we cant spread slurry overwinter and have at least 6mths worth of storage but solid muck is fair game year round

[@goonerair]

Nope, no solid spreading during the winter. We can spread liquid only in an emergency, like if a pit was too overrun. We cannot apply commercial N or P fertilizers during the winter either.

[@chandlermilstead7548]

Why don't yalla tune the 4020 up like the 4640 it would be a BEAST
