Operating T590 Bobcat Skid Steer

[@larrydunn6590]

4 oz vinegar, 2 oz ammonia, 1/2 tsp Dawn dish soap, 3 oz of denatured alcohol ( more if using rubbing alcohol), water to fill to 32. Oz. Removes grease too. Simply the best

[@kurtkriener3583]

A little advice to speed up spreading cornstalk bale, leave it on the bale spear, cut the wrap off, than use the hydraulics to shake the bale. Start the furthest in the building you wish to go, than shake bale an back up. Saves a lot on manual labor .

[@kevinmonahan2783]

Laura, the round peg that protrudes from the cab at the door opening on the left side as you are looking in. Move that out just a little bit. Just turn it out to loosen like a bolt, slide it out just a bit then tighten. If you slide too far the door won’t seal right. 😀

[@Maxid1]

There’s a place near by called Coffee Bar (very original) that has the best coffee and brownies. In most places in California it’s hard to get a “coffee”. You have to order a latte or an Americano. But this place is really good. The coffee with that moist dense brownie (size of your face, Laura Face sized) that has just a hint of peanut butter flavor is where I go when I’m having a bad day.

[@happytobalive3721]

Laura, the very best glass cleaner is Sprayway Aerosol in the white and blue Spray can.(Wallyworld) sells it. Enjoy your videos for your positive Energy and that Smile😊

I get the Freightliner Joke , I work at the freightliner plant for 28 years, but we got some good trucks now

WINDOW CLEANING.. Always put Pine Sole in your glass cleaner..1 mustering cup per application.. Also do this in your Velichle..it helps w cleaning any dead bugs you hit well out crusing..The Local Land scape.

[@fun4uleader]

Hope's "Perfect Glass" is the best glass cleaner but it is perfect for plexiglass because if you use a micorfiber cloth it will clean and not leave lint or fiber or streaks.

[@brandonlyons6865]

Bobcats are so fun to operate.

[@Maxid1]

The coolest snow removal I’ve ever seen is in Japan where they have an active hot water spring that runs on the side of the streets. They get a huge amount of snow and snow on the roofs like to ten feet deep. They just shovel it into the open volcanic water way and it melts instantly.

[@PD-yd3fr]

Freightshakers were an amusing truck, an adventure everyday

[@bobbolieu9013]

In my eyes a Bob Cat, skid steer, is the best piece of equipment ever to operate. It's like being inside of a huge Tonka toy.

[@joefudd]

Good ole farmer ingenuity at work! Farmers don't get to call people to do things for them because they usually can't plus that costs money. They always try to fix and do everything themselves and learn to be self reliant/sufficient. City slickers usually don't. This is why I know how to do so many things and can fix just about anything there is for myself because most of my family were farmers and couldn't afford to hire others to do things that they could learn to do for themselves. Didn't take her long to master the skid steer. Laura takes to new things like a duck to water! Or should I say "ducky wuckies"? LOL! I LOVE hearing her call the calves "cavvy wavvies"! Too cute and adorable! Makes my day watching and listening to this awesome farm girl going about her daily endeavors with her smile, laugh and this girl is smart and a go-getter! Grant is one lucky man! Oh as for best glass cleaner, I prefer ZEP commercial spray glass cleaner is THE BEST! I buy mine at The Home Depot. BTW, the door latch was stuck/frozen in the open position on the Freightliner, hence why it would not latch closed. LOL!

[@randyr.parker2698]

Same here. Grew up on a farm and can do pretty much everything for myself. Our dad taught us to be that way, self sufficient.

[@hotrodchevrolet5668]

I like the disappearing act on the bucket hitch. And yes if you are going to buy glass cleaner it must be Sprayway, at least for anything you don't want to smell like vinegar.

[@mikeadams2339]

Wonderd how the hitch moved so fast?

[@chuckbrown5484]

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

... Love the "Get-r-Done" Attitude !! ... Tools and equipment can be fun , learn how to use them as designed ,, then keep in mind how to improvise to tackle other projects ... ( don't forget to pick up the assortment of driver bits and put with the drills ,,so you don't have to look for them next time... ) .. take the time to learn right ,,, then another day "you" will be the knowledgeable teacher for someone else ...and always put safety first ...

[@hamiam2243]

Now that’s a farm shop ,not some squeaky clean ,polished ,floor buffing ,farm videos that I’ve seen. Great video Love the ice chipping and the cinderblock holding the gate shut perfect.

[@earlhollar1906]

I like Sprayway glass cleaner in the blue and white can ammonia-free for windshields and headlights because the foaming action stays on longer, and loosens the bug guts. You have to keep wiping with a dry towel for it not to streak. For the house windows good old, good value from Wally World glass cleaner with ammonia. The reason I like this is because if there are hornets or wasps around when you're cleaning your windows you hit them with a shot of that and it puts them right down!! Didn't see the Zach Johnson finger snap when the clamp-on hitch came off the front of the bucket. LOL

[@benkendall7403]

The star shaped screw heads are called Torx... and tricks with the bobcat: try doing reverse pull next time: drive up to building, tilt bucket down so blade is scraping and reverse 😁😁😁

[@derekpiehl85]

The best glass cleaner me and my grandfather have always used is really just warm water and vinegar. And my grandfather never used paper towels. He always used crumpled up news paper. Sound wierd but it works. But not like the store adds just the regular old news paper. Good job on the skid steer laura. Out of all the skid steers I have run over the years bob cats are in my opinion the hardest to operate. The catapiller skid steers are probably the easiest in my opinion to run. My son loves seeing the calf videos. Keep up the great work and soon we can get to planting fields.

[@skidsteersdirect]

Opening that garage door seemed fun to do. Skid Steers can be very versatile with the right attachments.

[@bobbolieu9013]

I love it when the cattle are cool being around you, and come check out what you're doing

[@davidjaskiewicz3461]

Ardex glass cleaner and newspapers a great combo for Clean glass. When running bobcat push snow to where you are going to pile it so you don’t have to make as many trips back and forth. I think theme song from green acres tv show fits you to a t. Great video as always!

[@larrycater714]

I love the Calves!!! I think its really funny how you go looking for additions to the herd in the morning. Thats independence at its root..! That old Freight shaker is a gem...! no def, no tec, no problems...

[@pixandmore437]

Laura, you amaze me almost every video how you keep tackling different projects. And using a variety of equipment. You are so proficient the first time with the skidsteer it looks like you've been doing it for some time. And you are ready to "wing it" and are able to get the job done. You have a knack for explaining things so even those who have not been around farming can understand. And brings back memories of my time involved in farming. I appreciate your efforts. Dave

[@twa77]

Grew up on a ranch in North Texas an I am enjoying watching you learn on the job. Best way to do it.

[@petermoto409]

SprayWay glass cleaner is by far the best!

[@garysager9028]

Farm kids have a great advantage on the no work ethic video playing city kids. I encountered a 22 year old recently that could not back a pick up truck because it did not have a camera.

[@johnwyoder]

There's so much to love about this video, but honestly, that pvc pipe notched for a cordless tool holder is simply the best! Very creative and functional. Although I grew up on a farm, we never had cows/calves, so I'm particularly enjoying the calf videos. Great work!

[@sharkeyist]

Gunna sound old n boring but google n read the operators manual is a great way to find things out, well worth it given how different n fussy newer gear is.

The calf gate needs to go all the way inside the door opening at an angle about 2 feet, and then straightened out to fit INSIDE the barn door opening.

Laura great job!!!!!!!!! First time really using the skid steer you did great.

[@commander1338]

Laura - you can't go wrong with Famous Amos cookies and ice coffee that's for sure ! I would say Windex glass cleaner is the best. Your work ethic is absolutely the BEST, there is no doubt about that and because of that you have our highest respect. Laura you are awesome !

[@t-yoonit]

Windex will wreck window tint film so you gotta be careful what you use it on. Most canned glass cleaners that are ammonia free are tint safe. Cyclo is a common bulk order brand for various shop supplies. I prefer Griot's Garage for automotive cleaning but they all pretty much do the same thing. I'm just meticulous.

[@My-Say]

Sprayway glass cleaner is the best. It comes in a really generic looking can but is easily #1.

[@cameronkoury7788]

Sprayway is the absolute only best glass cleaner ever and definitely streakfree unlike windex

[@My-Say]

@@cameronkoury7788 I drive professionally and it is the only thing that touches my glass. Thanks for the comment. :) I get really perfect results using it with NEW microfiber towels. I still haven't determined a way to get them as grease-free after a wash as when they are new, but even after washing and using them for years, mine still do the job well.

[@cameronkoury7788]

@@My-Say absolutely. I work with Napa Auto Parts and I have always used sprayway. There are so many other great products that outbeats any other general product.

[@joe_preston]

Simple green with oil/ hydraulic fluid on the glass, then finish off with any blue cleaner. newspaper does the best for no streaks but the blue shop towels also work.

[@lydiaanderson1747]

Joe Hello hope you are doing great

[@danhopkinson2811]

that pozi trac seems hard work, i lived in Australia for two years and worked for a company where i used one alot. it was the newer version of yours with the controls on joysticks instead of foot pedals and levers. so intuitive with either one stick to drive and the other for the loader, or you can change the settings to the old school set up. such a good bit of kit, can be driven remotely, GPS ready and had a 6 in 1 tilting bucket for working on uneven ground

[@dangelorrrr]

Your smile is so infectious!! Thanks for brightening my day!

[@0ptimal]

15:39 😄 Yea when a screw is rapidly spinning inside wood, there's a lot of friction, and it produces lots of heat. Usually is the worst when the screw is not grabbing properly and spins freely, but can also get hot from just removing them. But yea they can get super duper hot to the touch but not really enough to start a fire or anything.

[@mail_liw]

0:03 I love how you tried it the first time and it actually closed. Serves you right for making fun of the old freightshaker haha
