That’s how I get twine and net wrap off my beaters also works great

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, it does make it pretty easy to get off compared to a saw

[@maineman11]

I'm all caught up. And enjoyed every video (except for the shorts, I don't watch those). Your content is good so far! 👍🏻 🚜

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Thanks for watching I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m starting to cut back on the shorts.

I'm ready to see potato planting. I've never seen it done, and I'm sure it will be very interesting. One observation occurred to me while watching the "burning off" of the manure spreaders. You could have roasted some marshmallows while you were at it. 😊

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Those would have been some nasty tasting marshmallows the smoke coming off of there is plastic and cow manure not exactly a campfire haha

Spring rush has started! I might be able to swing past Saturday and see how green the road is on my way north for spring break.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It will be nice and smelly too.

Have you guys ever thought about getting 40-ton pull-type spreaders to replace those trucks? What I've found, with help from a friend who went all in on them, is that you can replace three of those trucks and two workers (since it's hard to find help to run our trucks) with one pull-type. I run a JCB Fastrac with a Bunning 380, and it's amazing what one guy can get done compared to the trucks. It seems like a lot of money to buy the setup, but by the time you calculate your time, fuel, paying extra help, and overall less equipment to maintain, it works out.

[@BrandenOletzke]

Also forgot to add that with these spreaders you also have the capabilities to minimize compaction and more accurately control how much tons per acre your putting down

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We haven’t really looked at it the ones we have seen wouldn’t work too well in our situation but I’ll have to take a look.

[@bdrakephotography]

I would love to come out and do some photography during planting season! I'm a local photographer around the same area!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That would be cool!

[@bdrakephotography]

Awesome that would be a lot of fun! I’ll send an email if that is the best way to reach out!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah that would work best

[@Jordan-ut8wx]

We have to do it with our tow behind Kuhn Knight pro push a lot on the farm poultry because if how much twine gets ( one of the workers ain’t the brightest apparently) sent through the chopper and ends up in the manure

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Twine is no good

[@Jordan-ut8wx]

@@RockyMountainFarmer yep we just bust out the tiger torches and go to town but hooo boy does she ever smell

[@joelg8004]

Is the twine from the straw bales used as bedding they don’t remove before laying it down? Like it’s a large dairy and it would be too much time to completely remove it beforehand?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They do remove it in the milking stalls because they use a machine to blow it in but all the straw comes from their dry pens where they just take a bail out there and break it up with the loader. They don’t take the straw out they say it’s too hard but I don’t really believe it.

[@2000bigsean]

The guy that was greasing the plow and wearing the yellow hoodie with Builders First Source does he work for them and you ?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

No, he works for us. It’s just a work hoodie from a previous job I imagine.

[@2000bigsean]

@@RockyMountainFarmer I work for them and was just wondering? Thanks for the reply .

[@billybobs841]

Wats one of them spreaders cost without truck

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m not sure I think they are around 80000

[@Jan-Boer]

Thanks for the video, what a mentality of that cow farmer. You would be inclined not to purchase manure. Can't they use sisal rope, a natural product?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

You know I’m not sure on that kind of rope. I would have to check on it.

[@Jan-Boer]

@@RockyMountainFarmer Here they all use plastic, but I noticed that they still use old-fashioned sisal when making flax bales for processing into linen.

[@jeremypmpm]

he needs some fur! lol

[@stoddern]

sure hope you charge the worst offending farms a twine hassle fee

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We should, but I’m not really in charge of that
