Skid Loader Maintenance

[@TheTIMSAMLINDA]

Dude no apology needed! Your working hard, got a family, and you film and edit. Sounds like your busy enough for two people. I will enjoy these when you put them out. No rush for me.

[@Landon_Chrud]

U said it, that stuff is hard work. And then remembering to get some clips, and then edit it on top of that

[@duncansonny8556]

i guess Im asking randomly but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

@Duncan Sonny Instablaster ;)

[@duncansonny8556]

@Diego Bruno Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@duncansonny8556]

@Diego Bruno It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

[@obviousness8113]

Farmer, mechanic, welder, carpenter, vet tech, (and more), and most importantly, Christian! I'm twice your age and you are an inspiration to me.

[@gruntqueen]

I'm happy whenever you post. I suspect your subscribers understand you have a day job. I'll just add that I've learned a lot from watching you. That's what I look for in a KZbin channel: an opportunity to learn something. Thanks.

[@scottgray493]

You work hard. You don't owe anyone here an apology Eric. Everyone here respects your work ethic, I guarantee it. Keep on keepin' on.

[@gruntqueen]

His name is Eric?

[@billsexton4811]

Eric , no apology’s needed . I always enjoy your videos , when you put them out I watch them . Your videos are very educational , and I think you are a hard working young man .

[@TRDoutdoors]

My whole family watches your videos. I was raised on a dairy farm and now my boys will get to see what it’s all about. I’ll send you a “The Rural Dad” sticker. Keep up the amazing job!

[@fairwinds8305]

Eric, I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed your channel so much. I have learned so much about dairy farming and have so much respect for the great job that you and your Dad are doing. I never realized how much hard work went into something that we all take for granted, milk production. It is so nice to see a young man working so hard to make a living and it is commendable. Please keep up the good work.

[@tamran127]

You do great work with your posts. Do what you can and don’t feel like your audience is pressuring you for more. We accept what we get and we don’t through a fit! Your channel is valuable and give us a view into your daily work life and also the cow’s daily milking life! We Love it!

[@jerryjohns7358]

Your channel is one of my favorites no matter how often you post. I know it must take a lot of time to film while you’re working and then edit on top of that. Thanks for all you do!

[@hoophil]

Hi Eric! Your videos are great, when ever you have time to post them, I'll watch. You sure can do anything around the farm! Thanks for posting the videos!

[@davidallinson2501]

Good idea to change the diesel filter as well as the oil and air filters.

[@steveadams99708]

Always glad to see a new post from you Eric and I always enjoy them. Glad your real job is a priority with you, and sometimes wonder how you find time to do videos as well. You are an inspiration! Thank you!

[@sixtoes2313]

Eric. You have enough to do ! When you post a new video; I'll watch it. No matter how much time is in-between posting's !

[@lionbill]

Having grown up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin I love all of your videos, but also know that you're a busy guy . . . so understand fewer vid's. Thanx -a-lot!

[@lynardok6654]

Have enjoyed whatever and whenever you post. You and your family work very hard and do a great job. Thanks

[@michael7423]

Thank you Eric for all you do, no apologies necessary, and thanks to your recommendation I can watch Seth's channel when you are busy. I love the farm life and I especially love your channel, stay safe and see you next time!

[@shibumi5210]

Just a tip for you- when cleaning a radiator, or any kind of condenser, you don't want to blast it at 90 degrees with water, or air- you want to back-flush it, blow stuff out the way it came in. Otherwise, you're jamming it into the radiator and risk getting some stuck in it. Worst case, rinse it from the top at a shallow angle- blast the gunk off the surface rinsing top to bottom...best thing is to get a high-pressure air hose, come in from the back and blast it out the front...

[@johnunsicker7440]

Yes air is best and back blowing it is as well. Also the one thing that kills faster then anything is heat so power washing the engine and the inside helps and when you have a leak you can find it quickly.

[@armicv691]

These kinds of maintenance vids are very interesting, it is nice to know how the machinery looks inside. Please do more of them

[@TheLjel]

I grew up on a farm, but now own a snowplowing and landscape company in Wisconsin. We still farm about 3000 acres. Farmers are crazy hard working and industrious people, but now that I am slightly removed from the farm, I would just say, try to stay up on the maintenance. It will make your life easier in the long run. I also would not recommend using a zero degree rotating tip for your pressure washer when cleaning a skid. Those puppies can etch concrete. You were peeling some of the stickers off the machine. I would use a 15 or 30 degree tip instead. I love the videos, and it reminds me of how hard I used to work for not much money. Keep up the good work.

[@farmershady47]

Love your videos 10th Generation Dairyman,its a BIG thumbs up from Ireland .

[@TheFarmingLife]

Excellent video keep up the good work. Maintenance is very important on a farm got to keep the cost down in repairs. Spring is coming can't wait to see you guys get back in the field chopping alfalfa.

[@gurkevinbhullar8089]

I don’t know why, watching these videos are so satisfying lol

[@angelodliljedahl2975]

Well if you don’t learn something today you don’t make a difference tomorrow and I think it’s time we need to start watching our farmers in America so we can help them that’s why we watch this

[@Forevertrue]

No worries on the number of videos Eric. Take care of the job first. Thanks for this. Very informative. People should understand what it takes to get that gallon of milk.

[@namrayd1976]

Love the Tank years ago I worked for a refrigeration company near chambersburg Pa that was Mueller distributor and had a chance to to the factory in Springfield. Love your videos keep up the great work

[@edwardsofin3593]

You are for sure a hard working guy. Thanks for sharing. Always interesting stuff. You post a video often enough , your work-ethic speaks volumes . nose to the grind stone-full speed ahead. !!!

[@ritterjon]

💥 You do more work before noon than most people do all well! It’s inspiring to follow your channel! 👍 Keep on tractoring!

[@williamthomas8459]

I enjoy any type of video you post. Even maintenance stuff like this or updates on how 482 is doing, lol. It’s all very interesting!

[@jeffw8057]

That pressure washing is a perfect job for well trained youngsters. You NEED to make that a priority for the winter 'maintenance' periods!

[@StinkyPete69]

try wrapping those Plexi panels with some weather stripping for a tighter seal. Did that on my old skidsteer for wood processing, barely had any saw dust in the cab after that.

[@marck6903]

Have not seen an updated. Post for awhile. Know your busy but in joy watching

[@TheGilbert48197]

Thank you for your time and showing us how you do things and up keep on your things

[@spiderskull8359]

Firstly. Hello to the 10th gen farmer from windy old england. :D that being said I have no idea why I'm watching these Vids tbh. I don't farm never had any experience farming. Let alone dairy work. Yet I keep watching lol. Its fascinating to watch something like dairy work let alone as in depth as you go. Don't over work yourself man. Keep up the good work and make sure you love those puppers. :)

[@DeathSword22]

Loving the vids and no apology required. If you have a fan head for the water blaster it will clean out the radiator a lot better without the risk of bending and breaking the fins 😊. Looked good after a nice bath I have to say, those turbo heads are absolutely amazing.

[@danielbanks9000]

No apologies necessary.You are busy running the farms. Finding time to make the videos will be hard enough.Nice video.Good theme to continue with maintenance videos on the equipment.

[@obviousness8113]

And the 160 is good for another season! Very satisfying video.

[@danfinley3690]

Great job with the video and we all know how hard you and your family work, when you post new videos it’s always great to see what’s next bless y’all

[@triciaabrams8848]

You just make videos when you can and I'll keep watching them! The farm and family have to come first! I'm a subscriber for life!

[@PattyNieto]

The better you take care of the machinery the longer it last. It's farm equipment meant for hard dirty work yet keeping it clean is just as important. Catch 22.

[@davepelfrey3958]

Really like your videos. We know you're super busy. You have to do what you have to do, and that's ok.

[@claytons5092]

I remember taking an air compressor and blowing out the radar and air filter of out trucks when I was in Iraq. That was some moon dust that could get in every everywhere.

[@saskdutchkid]

Yeah it sure is alot of extra work to make videos all the time! Always great to see that people like them when you put them out tho!

[@curtislongtin3577]

Eric you dont need to apologize. You are doing great at working hard and taking care of the farm and cows. We know you need breaks here and there.. there are other channels we can watch too. Oh and you forgot your PEPSI!! Dont worry I'll drink one 4 ya....

[@williamfortenberry8625]

As always enjoy your videos we all know you're pretty busy so as often as you can make him will be here to watch him and then for being a farmer you deftly make the US go

[@markybear92840]

Pressure washing a machines when it is BRR cold! You da man! And even better, making the mess and getting dad to sweep it up! YOU DA MAN! Keep up the good work!

[@lahourna]

Being a dairy farmer myself I know how hard it can be to get videos posted. Keep it up love to watch how it’s done somewhere else

[@onealfarms9967]

Thanks for sharing your farm work with us we do greatly appreciate it

[@seimonlloyd4234]

100% my favourite youtuber, your videos are so chill and simple i love them! great guy

[@makingithappen9722]

That engine will breathe better now. Well done and your videos are worth the wait.

[@ericklamotte617]

I like the maintenance videos, very educational professor Eric.

[@tanantharun]

#1 fan of yours from India.

[@jaapbruijn1300]

Keep those vids coming up! I like them very much. Nice to see what you‘re up to daily.

[@seanmcdermott70]

Glad you mentioned safety stopper.your skids are my favourite machines,cos they dont have lethal uncovered pto shafts.

[@KanakaMaoli1]

Good job on your maintenance schedule. Skidsteers aren't cheap

[@TheTimbersaw]

you sure don't have a lack of know lt alls keeping tabs on you.! keep on maintainin.. think you do an outstanding job. good videos too.

[@johnneal1102]

Love watching what you do, a lot of education. I want to give you a shout out because of those black and yellow barrels you are using, great oil, I've been to the plant in Walcott, IA as our company delivers it to some of the distributors. I can't remember where you guys are from but would like to know so we can give the distributor and salesman a big shout out for our end. Thanks

[@davewilson6451]

Glad to see you are using good quality filters. Enjoyed the video.

[@angelodliljedahl2975]

Like the guy said no need for a apology we appreciate you doing this for us I’ve learned a lot and can’t wait to learn more just know man you by posting videos every week for us is amazing you’re a farmer man that wants to inspire people about farming and I see where you coming from on it and it’s really amazing you take your time out of your day just to do this thank you thank you thank you for your service in America’s farming you’re the best dude

[@angelodliljedahl2975]

Hopefully we meet one day

[@joshbascom8618]

That camera work is smooth!!

[@Ducati1198SBK]

Hi Eric, thank you for your video, you are very good! and compliment for your job!! i follow you from Italy.

[@jackbaker5284]

Every nite after milking 350 Holsteins and getting the parlor washed down I would crack the tap on that cold storage tank and fill a BIG thermos with fresh milk. Best milk in the world.. I miss that..thanks...Jack

[@drmcgills]

I've had that same DeWalt light for I don't know how long and just realized the hook at the top extends after seeing you use it 😂

[@danaedwards5464]

that air filter certainly does its job and keep up the great videos know your busy ill wait

[@ez1913]

On high dust machines, we'd oil the seals on the air filters too. Looks like that little one almost needs a pre-filter. LOL Thanks for sharing. Post at your pace, I enjoy your content when it comes out. -EZ

[@brianbarnes350]

Thanks for another video. I noticed you didn't vacuum out the cab! We always found it easier to pressure wash the outside than detail the inside of the equipment too.

[@wingrider687]

When you love your equipment it loves you back!

[@rodneydavis7958]

Good video, gotta take care of the equipment. It'll last for ever. Local guy here Rohrerstown area.

[@timothymartin01]

Great work. I understand how fast the skidloader can get dirty.

[@jacobburke4534]

Great video! A little preventative maintenance goes a long way.

[@lonniejacobs551]

i enjoy your videos and understand you have a life. thanks for sharing.

[@s.pursell8901]

I was hoping to run into you today. I was in your area. I was at the Great American Outdoor Show. I'm fairly certain your pretty close to there. Thank you for the video.

[@johnwalker5745]

U were taking the paint off on accident love your vids keep up the good farming

[@paulhudson8321]

I’ve got an L150 Newholland skid steer. I went with the Newholland model because it’s actually the lowest profile of its class. My old barn has low ceilings. Bought mine at a farm auction sale and got it for a good price. One thing about changing the fuel filters is no bleeding just put them on and start it up.

[@davidhinson5010]

You men work hard and we appreciate it. From NC keep it up.

[@jonathandrotskie8446]

Love watching the videos man keep it up💪🏼

[@belfast479]

Let me tell you something that a lot of people want to say but don't. If all guys your age took half the responsibility that you do, we would be so much better off. Kids here today just b*tch and complain that nobody helps them, instead of putting their hands in their back pockets and take care of themselves.God Bless the farmers, backbones of America.

[@colto2312]

Most guys his age have parents who own .000001% of the assets his parents do. He's a product of his environment.

[@glenn_massie3039]

I understand about the posting issue. I watch your videos and feel a urge to jump in, take over, and tell you to go take a break. Lol. Hey, but like others have stated, post when you can, we will be ready to tune in when you need us.

[@BWYinYang]

That skid loader needs monthly bath, helps tractor breath and cooler from all that wood shaving spread.

[@rburli]

You’re doing just fine. We enjoy them when you can

[@s3v3n3]

6:59 I love those things, they’re so satisfying. I just like to watch the oil get pump out. Kind of like a miniature nodding donkey oil pump.

[@MrFuz]

Bonjour from France 🙋‍♂️ Love your vids man 👍

[@gruntqueen]

Your array of skills is impressive.

[@patricksmith3135]

Great video. Make them when you can; we enjoy them.

[@slayxr9800]

Dude your channel is growing fast! Grats man!

[@dalescommonsense7676]

Video was great and glad to see them whenever you post them. Thx

[@fredysa7221]

Que lugar incrível muito legal este vídeo gosto muito de micarregadeira e ainda mas fazendo revisão com tudo a disposição

[@Farmermanrc]

I'm eating my pizza and watching this on the tv thanks I like seeing the skid steer in action

[@Farmermanrc]

I too farm family owns 8000 laying chickens and we have a bit more then 100 acres not big but we money and can support ourselves in southern ontario

[@christinecortese9973]

I wish my car was that easy to service. Well, not that it was easy, just that everything was so accessible and straightforward. Maybe I should drive a small skip loader, hmm... anyway thanks for showing how it’s done! I could watch power washing all day long!

[@jakeguello6814]

i recommend getting one of those battery powered grease guns. theyre a life changer!

[@blakedehart9171]

I see you do a lot of greasing Milwaukee makes a automatic grease gun I think you would use the heck out of man good videos keep it up

[@peanut71968]

Great vid! Thanks for doing all of these videos!

[@jeffhabermann6005]

thank u much .. I ll now do mine because of your help..🇺🇸

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video awesome PM hello from Daniel from central Mississippi

[@danielshue5192]

Holly cow! That skid loader has decals! 😂

[@bobbymann2225]

still loving the videos, keep it up!

[@shellymb]

Thanks for the video, when you power washing I was thinking... but what about the grease fittings.. 😂 looks much better, that machine takes a lot of wear with the dust exposure

[@javiergomez172]

I’m not sure if you saw my comment on past 2 videos but if you guys want a lower cell count try to use one skid loader for feed and another for manure. Helped us a ton.

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

That's interesting, we try not to drive in the feed with dirty tires. Wonder if that's something we should consider. Thanks

[@sdrailfan892]

Nice clean up job and maintenance. What about cleaning the inside of the cab.... looks like it could use a good vacuum inside.

[@uberuberdude101]

different kind of vid, but enjoyed it, maintenance is crucial for any farmer/rancher

[@icebabysnocain]

Agreed, we will watch whatever comes along whenever it does. Peace.

[@andrewmaas6620]

Spray from the inside out on that radiator it will get more out
