[@jddriver9565]

Iam back watching some videos....love them as always.:)

[@mikep7810]

Glad you are back and I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

[@ardurbin2]

The H&S 5215 is a fine piece of farm equipment! Like the spread pattern also! Thanks 4 the ride along. 👍👍👍

[@mikep7810]

Thank you I thought it did a good job. Thanks for riding along

We bought the farm from my wifes father in 2020 and we have daily haul and used a New Holland 165 box until it just simply couldn't anymore. We plant a winter cover crop to chop in the spring so we wanted to move away from the box types and into v tanks. I worked on a neighbors farm in high school and he always ran Knights with the exception of his wild hair Meyer purchased once he hated that one and he also hated Gehls so with this in mind I of course bought a kuhn Knight in 2020 also thinking they were the end all be all now looking back after a couple years I like my spreader but man do I wish I would have bought one of these I kick myself often

[@mikep7810]

We had a Kuhn Knight before this one and I thought this spreader has a tough act to follow but its been a great spreader and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone

[@KlineDeere]

@@mikep7810 well it'll probably be 2030 until I need another spreader now so if H&S is still making these I'm gonna give it a go what I'd really have liked was one of these with the New Holland paint and skins on it but NH quit selling Dura Tanks a couple years ago bit I'm quite sure they were just H&S spreaders The guy I worked for told me "Buy a Knight they don't freeze in the winter" well I'll tell you they certainly do cant lift the augers up out of the manure to keep it free.

Hey mike I have a 5220 h&s I'd till u 2 lift your auger halfway in summers on that spreader so u dont wear through the floor as quickly I'm definitely planning 2 buy another one they are a good spreader

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Looks like a nice spreader

[@mikep7810]

Yeah I thought it did a good job. Looked like it spread everything out pretty even

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Looks like it does s good job

[@mikep7810]

Yeah I thought it did a pretty good job. The real test will be how it does after a little wear on it

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Seems like it spreads pretty evenly. How do you get manure to the storage building?

[@mikep7810]

I should have mentioned that. We just pull up with the manure spreader and spread it right into the building

[@fyrciakfarms199]

We are looking for a side slinger to replace our old 680NH, How well does that take old unchopped pen pack? I have read that H&S have a habit of bridging with dry long stem pack.

[@mikep7810]

There was a lot of long stringy hay in that load coming off the barn cleaner and it handled it well. We haven't had an issue since we got it. It's nice to be able to move the auger up and down if there is an issue with tougher material

[@fyrciakfarms199]

Ok we may have to look in to a used one then, is it mush of a power hog? I know the 680 can make our Ford 8000 grunt if a big hard wad hit's the beater.

[@mikep7810]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewpeterson5977]

Is that spreader basically a slinger by the way it shoots out the side but a slinger painted red. Does that hold more than the 8114 slinger you used to have or about the same. I only see basically h and s box spreaders where I live I have yet to see a top shot spreader from h and s around. There are quite a few slingers around where I live though.

[@mikep7810]

It's a V style like the slinger but it has the bear claws where the slinger has the hammers and the h&s has one auger on a cylinder where the kuhn has 2 stationary augers

[@mennoreuten1563]

Nice video like the new spreader does a good job seems to me how many acres you farm in total thanks Mike have a good day

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I thought it did a good job spreading. We'll see how it is when it gets a little wear and we start fixing things how easy it is to work on

[@3408kid]

i like the spreader but i used to run a kuhn knight side slinger and it worked good when it worked but it wasnt the easiest to work on when something would break i used a johndeere hydra push and that was the best spreader ever the only thing u had to fix on that was replacing the bear claws i hope that h and s works out for you i really enjoy your channel keep up the good work

[@mikep7810]

We had a Kuhn Knight before this one. It was a good spreader but wanted to give this one a shot

[@rogerwilson9892]

Mike where does the manure come from in the manure pit.

[@mikep7810]

We spread manure every day and when can't get in the fields we pull up and spread manure in the manure storage. Now that a lot of fields are cut and baled we can load up a few loads a day and get them out in the fields

Thank you, I thought it did a good job. We have dairy cows. We milk 50 Holsteins

[@Adam_Poirier]

mikep7810 sadly the farm I grew up on sold the dairy cows about ten years ago.. but milked about 50-70 cows in a small town in CT. Keep doing what your doing man I envy you

How many cows do you guys milk? Can the barn hold more?

The barn holds 52 and that's about how many we are milking

[@jeffreyhall5679]

Looks just like the old martin spreaders . I had a single auger kuhn and got a new twin auger one didnt like it if u happen to get a rock in it was a night mare had to cut the auger fliting once to get it out .

Thanks for the video. Do you have to spread manure every day. How do you get it over to the storage building. When you have cattle it's a never-ending job. Have a great day

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Eric. I should have mentioned it in the video, to get the manure to the storage building we just pull up with the spreader and unload it right into the building. We do spread every day unless we can't get out in the fields. We run the barn cleaner in the old tie stall barn twice a day to make sure the gutters aren't piled up

[@toddnolan8836]

Looks like a solid built spreader. It does an even job spreading. That should last quite a long time! I like it. Is your barn cleaner a Patz?

[@mikep7810]

Thank you and yes its the old Patz cleaner. We just went through a couple years ago and put a whole new chain in. The old ramp is still holding up
