Part 1 of the New Round Bale Feeder Build!

[@joelink7665]

Your grandpa would be darn proud of the way you farm/ranch

[@daynaswan427]

Your common sense is spot on with the addition of the sprinkler. Great video.

[@tyler3148]

Iv been watching farmer Tyler ranch since he started his channel

[@jennifershephard6638]

Good morning Tyler and Mrs FTR. Another wonderful video. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy seeing the smile on your face as you complete another project. It looks great but seeing you happy and seeing your visions come to life is the best part. Have a wonderful Sunday and try to stay cool. Little Shepherd Farm

[@traceyhacking7109]

Great comic timing on the cow moo as you are talking about how they eat!!!

[@brandonvance9095]

I have fed that way for years its great. My final design has a 1 way slant roof so i can feed from 3 sides if needed. Never know when your going to feed a larger round bale if you come up short. Mine is 7ft wide i never really waste hay due to the brooming action he was talking about. The best thing i added though was rubber skidsteer and excavator tracks for where the cattle stand no more mud! Just manure that is very easily cleaned with a skidsteer. I do clean the hay feeder 1 time per year for stems and small sticks they wont eat. Good job sir you always think outside the box and always keep looking to improve the cattle and the farmers lives.

FTR, best fabricator on KZbin! 👍💪🙏

[@janetmccullough7436]

I don’t need to build anything, but I enjoy watching you use your ingenuity to to figure out and accomplish what you need. It does give me confidence to figure out things on my own even though they aren’t even similar things. Good job.

[@carolyost6733]

I like how you think. You are a craftsman and you want things done right. That's how my farmer Dad was, too! Thanks for adding the "bull fighting" in the intro. That makes my day! Do you have humidity in your neck of the woods? Yes, that is Hot! Really hot!

[@danielashford2430]

Go in and cool off brother, thanks for bringing us along…

[@karenladwig3856]

I love to watch you build!

[@Hoosier60]

Nothing wrong with OCD! That is just the care in doing it right, and the pride in a job well done! In that hot weather…I would have gotten the tractor and my post hole digger!😂😂 Great start Tyler. We’re cutting the hay fields for our second cut today! It won’t be 108F, but it is supposed to be high 80 to low 90F today! 😎

[@janetdupree6353]

KUDOS Tyler. For a hoot, and to watch an excellent fabricator make nonsensical things, watch Colin Furze. You will appreciate his welds, his precision, and a fabricator’s dream of cool tools. During the lockdown, he had millions of viewers!

[@Sandy-is7wc]

Your “ocd” is what draws me in….all the details and analyzing is so dang interesting.

[@robynmorris7945]

Great job Tyler!! Yes it is to darn hot to stay out to long in this heat..stay hydrated and keep the sweat out of your eyes as that sweat burns like heck.

[@131dyana]

Thank you for taking us with you. God bless.

[@bigmattydaddysymz7993]

Love your content, new to your channel.

[@valeriequest]

Yes, your planning skills are amazing. Your use of repurposed materials is excellent, but I’m most amazed at you doing everything by yourself. No extra hands… in any episodes. I just can’t imagine. I’m assuming your grandfather must have taught you well!

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Did the cows critique your work, because they sure were watching!

[@michaeloglesby4467]

Wore my new FTR t-shirt this weekend! Love the channel and love the merch! Support FT so he can keep giving us this awesome content!

[@toddcaskey9984]

Great job , I love these kinds of videos, your making stuff videos.

[@julieenslow5915]

The most important step (in my opinion) for any project is the one where you put the plan into action. That first action step takes it out of the dream/plan stage and into the real world. Great start!

[@anneoreilly4900]

Gaining the confidence to start any new project is a great video goal. Thx FTR.

[@RebekahTOUCHEDBYYARN]

I have always enjoyed watching you work on your farm and build new things to improve what you're doing

[@suzisaintjames]

Consider build sections at night in your shop when it's cooler, then making a quick install during the day when you can see. Sending lots of love 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. 😷

[@gitatit4046]

We've been in those 100+ days lately here as well, so I know how the sweat in the eyes stings to the point you can't see anything. 😭 I also appreciate all the thought you put into your projects. I'm sure this one will turn out great as all the rest you've done. 👍

[@teresaflobert3022]

Another project well on its way to being completed. I love watching your transformations

[@MegaGeorge1948]

When I first saw those 4 X 4" vertical posts I thought that they were made of wood because of the brown color. So when you mentioned welding I finally got it. 😀

[@USSBB62]

Thanks much for the advice about construction at the top. Measurements and corrective measures before welding it up. I'll remember and "Quote You" !

[@timmattingly2250]

Glad your opening turned out a little wider. I have a Ford 4110, not a huge tractor, but it’s 7’ wide! You may be glad of that in the future.

[@sashcraft51]

You are a good fabricator.

[@adamklaine768]

If it’s worth doing it is worth doing right! I always appreciate your effort. I agree with you in that if you can build it and save some money that is obviously good and it just creates such a sense of pride too. Which helps you maintain and care for everything that much more. Looking fwd to more videos.

[@GoogleAccount-fx4cz]

I thank you 💥 fo inspirer showing very much interested of how your farming and building the things you do I look forward to watching your videos. God bless you ✨

[@cajunnathan4586]

Glad to see you clean the Rust away from the welding area to allow for good Penetration when you weld & it will last longer

[@cathy8070]

My late husband was a finishing carpenter. He said in that field one must be OCD 🤣♥️🇨🇦♥️

[@lesbarnes26]

Great feeder design. RE: Stacking hay in barn. If you will place the first row of bales on their flat end, you can then start your hay pyramid on the next layer and will be able to get 8 more bales per barn width. Here in Arkansas I deal with round bale storage also, and have for many years, but with my tractor and front-end loader am able to put the first two layers on the flat ends. I don’t think you’ll be able to do that with you 8N tractor. If you ever need to store hay outside, put the bales touching the flat ends together- that will let rain run off the round sides without much damage to the hay. If the round sides touch, it will trap rain runoff between the bales and cause the hay to rot. I enjoy watching your videos. Regards

[@robertkelley1990]

Good job on the header FT u have a good start .

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

Good deal..enjoyed it. It's not OCD, it's just doing it right and making it square and level. Hell 1/4" off for long pipe inside the ground is nothing...usually ends up 3/4" to 1-1/2" for most of us...even that can be pulled straight.

[@Hoosier60]

Absolutely true…well said!

[@austinpatterson1352]

Thanks for sharing the video farmer tyler ranch I missed you guy's this week did I miss any videos all week lol

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

Being the most un-DIY person on the planet, I love to watch and listen to you as you figure things our. It takes real dedication to weld in 108 degree weather! (We’re a cool high 80 s up in the mountains of Twin Oaks/Walker Basin.)

[@miriambertram2448]

Yep as a 72-year-old woman living in a small condo in Irvine California, this clearly has no application to my daily life, LOL. But I so enjoy his channel and I think it's actually gotten better since he figured out a way to replace his day job income.

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

@@miriambertram2448 Greetings from a fellow 72-year-old damsel! I have condos in Ventura, but I chose - perhaps foolishly - to rent them out and move to an isolated valley in eastern Kern County. The power just came back on after nine hours of no air conditioning or water (I’m on a well that runs on electricity). I often wish I had some of FT’s do-it-yourself expertise!

[@jlhaslip]

Retired carpenter here. There is most definitely some OCD required if the tradesman is worth their cost. Most good tradesmen, or tradeswomen, are sticklers for detail. That is probably a good thing. Love your videos.

[@johnking8679]

Being a little OCD can certainly help, Tyler.- so press on and do your project !! Ha, Ha !!

[@terresiagregg9326]

Great job Tyler

I absolutely love your videos. Thanks for sharing with us in Okieland 😍

[@tammysarrazin7078]

my daughter is doing the welding thing she has 4 tickets now and the funny thing is she is very OCD lol hugsss

[@vnthomas16]

Look forward to following this project! Sorry it’s so hot. Hopefully you can get out early some mornings to beat the heat! I think on the cross bar between the two posts you should weld something on the top, like steel cutouts of “FTR” or your family’s brand. Kinda like a mini ranch gate…

[@rebeccac9378]

Looks good Tyler, can't wait for the next video. Take care

[@benhesterly462]

Your great to watch, you always figure out how to do things.

[@tinacatharinaeden2711]

Not fancy? It looks great to me. Just 'A Hair Out of Square' and you fixed that. :) Are you going to put some kind of cover on it to keep the hay dry? That's going to be so much nicer than having to throw bales into the old feeder. How often will you have to add a new bale to the feeder? I think the girls will like it. I noticed a small group came by to check it out. 😂😂

[@suzisaintjames]

I think 1/4 inch over 8-feet is terrific! (But I would have pulled them together also!) 💖🌞🌵😷

[@PatricesProjects]

Over 100 degrees is too hot to be doing any outside work. I always enjoy watching you do building and fabrication projects. Be careful in the heat.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

I'm really interested in seeing how your new feeder turns out. I was surprised you weren't using an auger attached to the tractor to dig those holes, but I can see how running around gathering equipment can be time-consuming. I'm sure the new feeder will be great!

How come u don’t mix the cement in the hole first then drop the pole in to get some cement inside the pole too ? Maybe it would fuse it in there better and stronger?

[@barbarabrand190]

I love the project! Im watching closely as I am not a welder, but have recently learned how to weld and need a build something like this. My question woukd be how do you keep the bottom of the hay dry? Are you putting pallets or some other type of grid on the ground?

This is a great idea. I wish I could do something like this at my place. Do you plan to put concrete in the bottom where the hay will go. May help with waist but will be expensinve.
