Potato equipment rundown!

[@maineman11]

I automatically give your videos a thumbs up before I even watch them. 👌🏻

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

You're the best! I really appreciate that. I’m glad you like them.

[@BellsFarming]

Wow all that equipment is awesome! I’m looking forward to seeing how it all flows when you guys start storage!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It is pretty awesome. We are excited to see it running also. Hopefully we can get together when you guys come over to Spudnik.

Excellent - very well produced video of a very serious spud operation. I can’t wait to see all the great new equipment in use and I hope it all performs as expected. Thanks for giving us this great insight. Best regards, from Dorset in south west England. 🇬🇧

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it we are excited to try it out.

I love how your family is involved in your farming operation! Many blessings for a good potatoes harvest!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thank you! It is nice. I’m glad you enjoyed the videos.

[@keithcotant8770]

Congrats on all the new potato equipment! Can't wait to see you using all this new stuff.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Me too!!

[@michaelhollmann8353]

Awesome equipment! Can't wait to see it all in action 🤩

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, it is pretty awesome. We are all excited to see it run.

[@berthiggins2335]

I'd love you to do a future video on how you manage the overall and day-to-day operations. Who does what and when. Working with my father on the farm wasn't always the smoothest!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Maybe I will in a little bit. Glad you’re enjoying the channel

[@lindanelson8400]

Thanks so much for taking the time to show us all the new potato equipment and how it all works together. Very interesting and so different from regular row crop farming. I really enjoy your content!😊 🚜🇺🇸🚜🇺🇸🚜🇺🇸🚜🇺🇸

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I figured not many people know how this stuff works.

Hi,like your videos and to see how you do it in the US…!! I’m a potato farmer from Norway…..😊

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Very cool! Glad you like the videos. It should be a good harvest.

[@HarrisPropertyMaintenance]

Gota love shiny paint!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, it is pretty nice

[@growingdeepandstrong1582]

hi -- I love your videos-- I am from Australia-- way down south in Victoria -- I was born and raised on a farm, and in the sixties, I would spend up to 8 weeks driving a tractor breaking up rough country and making it into beautiful pasture--- the equipment is a lot different today

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you love the videos. Things have definitely changed a lot.

[@bertbinsbergen7549]

Nice video.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@jackweeks8099]

Can’t wait to see some tater harvest videos! And that’s a heap of new equipment. But it should make for smoother season though!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, we can’t have a four week potato harvest again because the weather usually turns bad near the end last year we got lucky this should definitely speed it up.

[@shanebell9589]

Nice stuff! It must be super convenient having spudnik that close! can you get parts and stuff right there too?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It is pretty nice. Yeah they have all the parts there ready.

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

Do you have enough power for all the new equipment? Looking forward to seeing harvesting and the new equipment in action. I caught some harvesting action north of Alamosa, CO, last year. 😊

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We had to upgrade a few things power wise but we should be good to go. I will be nice to see it all run.

[@tuberNunya]

Just a suggestion, but if you had an overhead crane you could change all those beds in a few minutes.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I agree, but that would be quite the expense

[@Arham7cheema]

Congratulations for all new brand equipment it is too onerous to make a time to watch this video because we are going to preparation for potatoes anyhow you explained the machines working with details as company could not gave such type of huge explanation your farm equipment look like as a factory i get flambergent to watch a too large equipment towing with 4 by 4 anyhow i m curious to watch potato harvesting when will you start Happy greetings for your family the video is very informative

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks and I’m glad you like the videos. I tried to do a pretty good job of explaining things. We should be starting potato harvest in about a week.

[@roepershof]

Thanks for coming. Hope you enjoy it.

[@farmerkendawg3768]

We just got a Dewulf Miedema piler and telescope conveyor for our storage season.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Awesome I’ve never actually heard of that brand. I hope it works great for you.

[@patmccauley3885]

That is impressive congratulations

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks we hope it speeds things up.

[@paulhammond7489]

Loving all the new kit for cleaning / stacking the cellars. Nice to get a proper walk around before harvest. One question because you mentioned that the previous conveyors were tripping because of the heavy load of last years potato harvest, but the motors on you new conveyors etc are much bigger. So is there adequate electrical supply in each cellar for all the new equipment and their larger motors, or do you need to use generators.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you’re loving the videos. We did have to go through an upgrade a lot of our cellars. We also have a 200 kW generator to run a couple things at the cellars that don’t have the power needed.

[@paulhammond7489]

@@RockyMountainFarmer 200kw is a good chunk or power :) Hope the weather is kind to the upcoming harvest

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Me too

[@copoaffl]

Cuando estabas explicando sobre la maquinara y su uso, es como les he dicho a muchas personas acá donde vivo, de nada me sirve todo lo que aprendí cuando estuve allá en EU, ya hace casi 10 años, mas que nada, por que no saben nada de eso o de que estoy tratándoles de contar, les comento que en estas fechas, pero diferentes años, en una ocasión me toco estar en el recibidor de la planta donde trabajaba, después en el lavado de patata, que era para hacer Patatas fritas, al siguiente año, en el almacenamiento de Patatas, la maquinaria que van a estrenar, y en los últimos dos años que dure allá me toco estar en la cosecha de la Patata, que hace 10 años me salí de trabajar y me regrese para México, me gustaba lo que hacia, pero por diferentes rezones me tuve que salir, buenos videos, Saludos y buen día.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching.

[@idahofarmer]

Gracias amigo, cuídate mucho!

[@copoaffl]

Es un placer, espero todo salga bien en la cosecha, en mi Facebook tengo algunas fotos de lo que les conté, estoy como Cesar Medel Estrada, Saludos y hasta pronto.

[@HarrisPropertyMaintenance]

What’s the wait-time whenever you order new potatoes equipment? It being so specialized I’ve been wondering.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It takes anywhere from 6 to 9 months I hope you enjoyed it.

[@ileenmcminn2062]

If you added some spud ground where are you going to put them? Have you added any cellars ?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Our yields are down this year so we will probably have less potatoes this year even with increased acreage. We are going to try to add a cellar next year

[@brettwildman6822]

What do you mean by set the skins for the guys that kill em off a couple weeks ahead?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

If you dig them up without killing them a little the skins just peel off. So by killing them the skins get a little tougher and won’t peel during harvest.

[@toddjohnson7972]

Did you end up buying the loaner john deere tractor or fix the 9510?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

No, it was too much money. It would’ve been over 500,000.

[@trevors42]

Why not an air sep?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They are too expensive

[@jimpolk]

So you guys have a dairy too?

Poor huh, they love what they do and they make a ton of money doing it. Yes not all farm jobs are the funnest thing to do. Like hauling manure or moving irrigation pipe but our guys are the best I know I may be bias!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I think they would rather be driving truck than moving pipe and they are some of the best workers around. This is what they signed up for.
