Spreading Solid Manure

[@Marchello5000]

Great production, I love the no-intro intro, you just get right into it. Great job, very interesting videos

[@bnicetoday]

Your drone and angle shots along with music pairing is at another level. Thumbs up !

[@saskdutchkid]

Thank you very much!

[@mcthomann73]

Really enjoy watching your videos. I have learned a lot and appreciate your approach! I am not too sure I could do what you do, but it is a credit to your parents that you clearly understand hard work and responsibility.

[@michael7423]

Never realized the amount of work in dairy farming! ✌🏻🇨🇦

[@maryclairekalamafoni9524]

You have the cutest way of saying manure! It's like "minerrrr" ! What did I tell you, cute! Maybe it's the way all Sask people say it. 😁

[@sureshteluguvlogs5738]

Nice video, using equipments is innovative haven't seen before in India especially dairy sector eagerly waiting for more videos and information about your dairy industry I love your hard work and dedication.

[@davidchristensen6908]

I am not a farmer and I am not Canadian. I lover your videos, I love learning about farming. It lots of long days and hard works. You also help me practice my Canadian language skill.... wink wink. That’s a shit load of sand. Hehehe get it. My question is over time will that much sand every year won’t that alter the top soils? You make nice videos.

[@henrybucknerjr5982]

amazing how people gripe about work you can find the wimps with work like that. hat off to you and everyone that who works there.

[@jamesrivis620]

Awesome film work.It will be interesting to see if this quantity has an effect on the yields.

We would've been pretty screwed had we not put that ramp in!

Park the speader in front of the pit and drive forward out whit the loader. The bucket stays full and less travel

[@iansmartel5473]

Need a sump in the big pit. Pump sits in sump, lot more liquid taken out.

[@eallen7772]

Love how he says 'sand' . adorable

[@katho78]

After the initial 10-15 loads I would suggest to pile up the remaining majority of the manure to let get it drained even more. Would be easier to load.

[@rfs2942]

I thought the same. perhaps a Bulldozer would be quite useful in this task. I am very curious to know how they are going to get around this accumulation of sand in the coming years. maybe build a sump

[@rogerwilson9892]

Yun interesting the sand bonds with the manure like glue and when spreading it putting the sand back into the field well if a person could pump down to the sand let it set for a while it would set up like concrete if pump all liquid manure out.

[@saskdutchkid]

Yeah we tried that but didn't seem to work for us!

[@jamesbedell7261]

Why don’t you back the spreader in the pit to keep the mess all in one spot and to save time loading?? Just a thought 💭

[@odhranbyrne7434]

James Bedell tractor probably wouldn’t have grip pulling it out cos the ramp would be slippy and some of the shit might flow out of the top of the back of the spreader cos he’d be driving up at and angle

[@gavinperry7237]

Once you got a corner of the pit cleaned out why did you not position the spreader in the pit to save all the up and down trips with the loader?

[@fendtdieselross4563]

Another great video Thank you😊

[@saskdutchkid]

Fendt Dieselross thanks!!

[@gerolddenhaan9942]

[@marksmith6533]

Great life fantastic filming thanks for sharing

[@saskdutchkid]

Thanks you!

[@thomashulett1409]

Isn't there a way to clean the sand and reuse it?

[@thr8061]

Great job on the drone shots, the music and the overall video! There's a dairy farmer in the UK that has a sand reclaimer. Have you seen that?

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

I would agree with "B Nice" the music and drone shots are great. I can understand why your drone flew into the pole, as you were driving and flying at the same time. Nicely done though - great editing.

[@mattdraper1388]

Seem to be alot of negatives to using sand what are the positives?

[@chantillybilly8489]

If you use pine shavings (the sawdust ones/mini flakes) you won’t have the sand problem. It’s also not as dusty and heavy.

[@cgmillington]

Ive a question, when you've got a bit of clean space in the bottom of the lagoon, why don't you reverse the tractor and spreader in? So you don't have to keep reversing out all the time when loading

[@JeffStewart78..]

New subscriber here. I am 41 and love to watch farming videos. Question is this a new dairy everything looks new ? Or maybe a complete overhaul of the facilities.

[@dbaileyanorchardistsdaught5041]

Why are you not using sawdust in the cow beds versus the sand? The sawdust would be a better a better choice for the permaculture in your field better than sand. The facilities, animals and equipment of your farm are impressive! Love your VLOG!

[@jenniferpablo1973]

Hi rye do you not run the spreader in the pit to help down time when loading Graham uk

[@saskdutchkid]

Can’t drive down that ramp

[@johnlim123]

You cant back in down that ramp? Is it too heavy to pull up when full?

[@stephendekoschak9555]

Nice video love the parlour and yeah you might want to get a crawler lol or rent one as needed

[@saskdutchkid]

Thanks and yeah i guess we'll have to see next year!

[@cntslesfabrication]

I would add a concrete pad on the ramp so it is easier to keep clean and not mess up more the pit

[@donaldshinn1915]

We started using sand in 1997 in new Jersey and went seperator next year worth every penny

[@saskdutchkid]

Sweet!!

[@CommanderAustria]

A deployable conveyor belt would be a good thing.

[@davidschlett9352]

Did the mixing work for you properly in 2020? Do u know a manure seperating system? You could feed the machine with the wet dirt, bring the solid manure out with your spreader and leave the liquid manure in the pit. This way you would save a lot of fuel with your loader and tractor, since you had less solid manure.

[@hectorrubio3309]

Looks like you do all the work!! Haha

[@robhakeman5873]

Do you have a manure management plan that you have to go by in Canada? Wouldn't be beneficial to have a pad of cement outside of the ramp then you wouldn't have to fight the mud ? What are the pipes in the pit for ? Depth to know how deep the manure is in the pit ?

[@saskdutchkid]

The pad would cost extra money, Those pipes are to pump the maure into the pit and its 10 feet deep and 175ft by 175ft!

[@mattbeehler4422]

Thanks for the great videos. Great job. Have you guys through about a separator for the sand or is it not going to work in the cold winter? Does wonders for us.

[@johannesdevreeze1367]

Here in the Netherlands we have too many problems with nitrogen. How is this with you in Canada

[@mountainlover3692]

Good work

[@NSoutdoorsman]

Love seeing other farms 👌🏼

[@spukduk5632]

Why not drive the whole tractor and trailer into the lagoon? Tractor too wide? Bad angle for the hitch and spreader? Too heavy to pull out once loaded?

[@rgw3629]

Sand and solids separator? Nice video👍

[@saskdutchkid]

Not likely, we kinda think if it came out the pipe out the back of the barn it shouldn't go back into the beds!

[@aprilkeller6185]

What effect does putting the sand on your fields have?

[@kennethdow7075]

Why didn't you drive the spreader down in the pit? And save alt of time, from driving a shorter distance with the loader?

[@allanholiday1617]

I wonder if a large auger or conveyor belt set up would make things easier and take less time to load. Less wear on equipment.

[@dr.ahmedjabbar265]

Good Job 👏, you remember me with “Lary”, from Gumball cartoon, he also did everything in the city. 😅

[@andrewpeterson5977]

How many cubic feet of manure does that spreader hold. That is way bigger than anything I see around where I live.

[@saskdutchkid]

andrew peterson up to 600 haha I said it in the video just for you! 😂

[@brunoproulx8264]

Hi, we milk 300 cows here in Quebec on sand too. We have the same problem we pump the liquids and then scoop out all the solids. This year was the worst the solid was really more a soup it wasnt fun.

[@saskdutchkid]

Glad someone knows how i feel!

[@mgclark46]

Thanks for the Videos. I am searching your videos, hoping find out why you are using sand for bedding. Sand is so hard on all of your gear. I don’t get it.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Michael Clark , in an earlier video he said that they use sand since its inorganic. Apparently it’s better to prevent mastatitus. Plus, they have access to large sandbanks on their property so it’s free.

[@ManGrain]

spreading solids looks like a shitty situation compared to pumping the liquid manure. bet that sand is really hard on equipment

[@saskdutchkid]

Yeah I’m sure we’ll start to see some serious wear on all the pump in a few years. Definitely quicker to pump it out than scooping it.

[@woolybuck6852]

Would it be possible to park your spreader in the pit and load it there so your not having to run up and down the ramp with the loader?

[@saskdutchkid]

Nope we looked at doing it but it just wouldnt work

Why don't you back the spreader down the ramp so you have less travel with the loader. Plus you're dirt part of the ramp won't get so bad with less travel.

[@tomrobert3288]

interesting to know that cities deal with this same issue. Only difference being the amount of heavy metals and drugs in the manure (human waste). Makes it impossible to spread in one area year after year.

[@bobearl7859]

Should have took the spreader right down in the pit when you got enough room to turn it around

[@BillAndersonNS]

I think with 50,000 lbs of manure on the cart he might not be able to pull it back up that ram with the tractor he has.

[@ildairyfarmer2436]

Bob Earl I agree, I have a similar pit and as soon as I have enough room at the bottom of the ramp I back the spreader down

[@Midwest4x4f150]

Your pit is so large it’s impossible to keep the sand suspended long enough while you’re agitating to pump it.

[@Destructorz94]

Call me stupid but why not put the spreader in the lagoon.?

[@CourtnRob]

The lagoon boats are really expensive. If you want him to have one so bad. Im sure he will give an address to send money to. lots of more expensive ways to do things. I'm sure they got the pit emptied with what they have.

[@saskdutchkid]

Yup just gonna keep doing it like this!

[@jamietaylor1799]

You must have a good reason, but why not bring the manure spreader in the pit for loadingit? Save lots of time.

[@kevinwiebe6859]

You should be using a sand separator before you pump it into your pit

[@stevem145]

Why not load the spreader in the Lagoon itself? will the tractor not pull the loaded spreader up the ramp? I understand that angle and the spill Factor in the wagon coming up the ramp it just seems like it would be a lot faster to load 3/4 loadsin the bunk than a full load out of the ramp.

[@saskdutchkid]

I think it would be pretty hard on the tractor and the wagon. Also since I was hauling it a couple kilometres it was worth getting a full load.

[@calebvanderbijl6738]

Great video though
