Squeeze Chute Swap! Part 1

[@Steve-zs1ki]

The stairs are a must, we don't get younger. Your future self will thank you.

[@beckygreathouse2660]

So glad to hear u talk about installing steps on the cat walk. Your worth it. Safety for you is number 1 AND definitely easier on ur knees/hips as u age.

[@territn8871]

Instead of Farmer Tyler, you're more like a "Farmer McGyver"!😁 You are so good at refabricating and making things work more efficiently! You will have everything set up and in great order by the time you're done with it! I'll see you back on Saturday's video!👋

[@klhp22]

I just said to my husband that you’re a great thinker and planner, anticipating problems and solutions, as well as executing them. You’re so frugal and smart! We love your channel. It’s a pleasure to watch. Always looking for the next one. Happy calving season!

[@thomaskeil1437]

That's because of his Grandpa

[@herdingcats3850]

Thinking is good. Impulsiveness, not so good. Good job.

[@barbarabrand190]

It's not just your critical thinking and communication, but the variety of skills and tools you have to imement to plan. I love that you are working with a lot of 'well loved' tools. It's what most of us have. I learn a lot from you. You are an amazing young man!

[@81carrerasc]

It's all about taking your time .......... slow and steady wins the race. And g'day from Oz !

[@johnking8679]

SLOW but SURE, Tyler !! Rather over-think the project than under !! That's when it can get expensive !! And who needs that ? I'm a little like you, Tyler - best be safe than sorry, my friend.

[@lindakinsey1093]

You are not over thinking. You are being efficient. Do it right the first time and it’s done. Doing the steps is the right thing to do now. Yes you can step up today but each day we get older and want to keep being productive. So what is easy today in a few years won’t be so easy. Thank you.

[@deb283028]

This is a big and very important project. Take your time thinking it through because you are right; you don’t want to do this twice and now is the time to accomplish all the little details. Sure is fun watching you and the dogs interact together for the day, “hey, what is Dad doing over here?”

[@jrsf222]

🧩👍🧐🧠⚖️and great family, animal caring, ambitious, great storyteller‼️

[@suzannesund4595]

That’s a complex project! I missed seeing you prepping for the new squeeze chute . . . It really turned out great!!! Another awesome day at Farmer Tyler Ranch 🐈🐕🐖🐓🦨🐂

[@redmapleleaf4617]

We need people like you in charge of the country. Thinking always of best ways to do things. I have total confidence in you to do it right. You have my vote! :)

[@kathleenmholland8055]

It's fun watching sweet Callie supervise, and puppy Beli help...I'm going to be very pleased to see your new chute finally in place. You've waited a long time for it, you've needed it for a long time, and now it's finally happening! Now, all the hard work needed to get it placed! Wonderful to see how you think everything out, and then do whatever you need to do to get the job done. Can't wait to see the new chute in place! It's going to be a great help to you, be better for your stock, and I'm still so happy that you got it at last. Keeping my fingers crossed for you to have a healthy and trouble free calving season, Farmer Tyler...and especially looking forward to seeing Riveter's offspring. This is going to be amazing! All the best to you, Farmer Tyler! 😊

[@dougallmcmillan8970]

Good morning from Cambodia, Tyler. Time spent in reconnaissance is never wasted. When assessing a multiple-part task I always think of it like a mouse and a large block of cheese. The large block can't be consumed in one go but nibbling away, the mouse consumes it all. Wonderful explanation as to what you are planning on doing - as always. Thank you for your time once again.

[@AmandaDoll-hi4dr]

Hi Mr. Tyler farm i like your cows and calefs and bulls and pigs and chickens and

[@reginaghee3768]

Great video. I enjoyed it. I don't know how you keep so many ideas juggling around in your head but somehow you make it work. Stop being so concerned with over-thinking. Under-thinking will surely be more detrimental in the long run. Considering that I am totally a city girl, I thoroughly enjoy watching what you do and how you go about figuring out how to do it. I can't wait for the next part to get posted.

[@monamoon925]

This is going to be such a fun project! You do you, Tyler, that's why we're all here!

[@LINDAR-j2p]

You are not over thinking, You are amazing. Slow and easy, think it out, just like you do. Get it right the first time. You're doing it right and it'll be so worth it. Thanks, I enjoy watching you, and your dogs are fun to watch as they supervise your every move. -Be careful. God bless.

[@davidcooke8825]

Yep. “One thing at a time” is an important mind-set when one starts feeling a little overwhelmed by the size of some of these one-man projects

[@patriciagrande311]

Your wife must be a patient, trusting saint. You are out there working alone doing these risky task but you do good work.

[@anneoreilly4900]

Overthinking is only a bad thing if you get stuck thinking and never doing. Many of your viewers appreciate your thoughts as they help us navigate our own problems into good solutions/ decisions.

[@scharlenebivens5352]

You're a CEO out there. Guess that's what farm life is all about, especially since so often you're out there alone. Also, it was a good idea to create this channel. For me living in the city and always wanting to be where you are, I now see how hopeless I would be at it.😂 For you, you get a chance to share your farming knowledge and skills while being able to exercise your communication skills, about your animals, and the need for mechanical and planning. Really good idea to create this channel. Thanks!😊

[@hattiecolley54]

Great Work Tyler. If it needs to be Done, I know U can get her done. Taking ur time and seeing the Big Picture Always Wins. U do Great Work with All ur Great Skills in building and Welding. U r going to Live it when it is Done, easy does it. Thank u for sharing, Keep Pushing, U Rock!

[@NickJames-f2q]

Thank you for mentioning the people in Canadian I do appreciate that

[@PatricesProjects]

And the list goes on, and the list goes on. It's better to think things through thoroughly, than to rush into a project with just an end goal in mind.

[@lindacbenson4400]

It's a smart move on your part Tyler...measure twice, cut once!

[@billkenosky3825]

This is why I like watching.Tyler do not take this wrong but I love when you go down the rabbit hole.😂😂😂

[@Darla-kf1jp]

This is like reading a good book or watching a good movie and then having to wait for the sequels! Can't wait for them!

[@daynaswan427]

Watching that shoot extraction was magical. You made forks? When did you do that? I missed a video? You made my week..........thank you.😊😊😊

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Great start on a big project!

[@Alfred19947]

Now that OWL is pretty much gone, this channel really satisfies me. May also explore Sonne Farms. Farmer Tyler is really adept.

[@virgilscott6517]

Good job Tyler. Thinking and planning out things is the best way to work with your animals. Always.

[@allanpeters4403]

Over think it TWICE measure it THREE times SLOOOOOOWLY cut ONCE!!! You will figure it out - you always do - excited to see it in operation!!!!!

[@jackg.1759]

Good job Tyler. Made it look easier then most others would have that removal. 😝

[@robertkelley1990]

U have the right idea slow and easy have a good day .

[@annamschnetzer4036]

When I decided to contact Arrowquip about your problems with the old chute, I had no idea that there would be so much work before the new chute became useful. Please, tell me that besides making good content, because all of your building projects are interesting, having the Arrowquip will be worth this work!

[@brandtlamb9177]

Man I’m glad you mentioned torch. The whole time you talking about tools you were going to use all I was thinking man he has that sweet plasma cutter why not just torch through it and buff it off

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Hi Tyler I love you new shoot

[@chrisbernard6811]

Wow great start to a big project. One step at a time. Stop think and then take the next step. No rushing through this project. It will be so great when it is done. Thanks for sharing all you do.

[@tonywise3705]

Great job of being thorough, it will pay off in the end, thank goodness the dogs were there to help.

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

Great work Farmer Tyler 🎉🎉🎉😊

[@Julia_Teeker]

I was looking forward to this project. Take your time. It’s going to end up great. 👍 ❤

[@bevakathedementedraccoon]

I know concretes expensive, but would it be feasible to make the slab large enough so that the little "Tyler work zone" thats fenced in has a solid base too? Would help you keep working even if the weathers not been cooperating, you'll keep your own footing without sliding or sinking in mud. Plus handy bonus storage space. If nothing else, a damn fine tripod zone lmao. (and no patch of grass to tidy up when it gets out of control lol). just a thought before you go building forms n shit

[@egrace3738]

My father taught me 'measure twice, cut once' 😊

[@billreal76]

Enjoyed eavesdropping into your thought process!

[@karenexner6848]

Excited to see the new shoot in action!! You were lucky to have Callie and Belly there to help you out!!

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO TYLER 😊

[@teresacahlik6887]

Good job. Thanks for explaining as you go. We have a tractor but I do not understand all the leverages and workings like you do; so your walking us through as you go helps me learn and understand.

[@elizabethrogers1152]

I tell ya,that their chute is the 'Cadillac ' of chutes!

[@liljoeii6091]

Awesome video planning is all the better to make your perfect shoot look good and work good thank you for the video

[@streetfaith61]

Being a thinker is frustrating for those waiting for you to get something done but overthink something once only do the job once. I totally get it. I like to comprehend what is in front of me before I make the first cut.

[@gurubhat2403]

So much of tall juicy grass near the chute and also just outside all along the drive. Wish a few cows somehow could enjoy it!

[@youpattube1]

Moving right along.

[@robertsimmons3556]

What a GREAT upgrade that Aeroquip chute is going to make to your operation. Given your handling system is custom made, well there will be cut and fit needs. I don't believe you over think it, it is just covering the "What If's" Starting the foundation from or with a clean slate will make you the happiest and will give you the best results!!Good post FTR!!

[@freddylove9914]

GREAT JOB TYLER

[@marciaolson4878]

Everyone, let’s get Tyler’s channel out there more and more, share share share! Always a great day when we can follow you FT, tx for taking us along!❤❤❤

[@kwtoyman]

Just a thought….. and a question? Is the chute and the load bars high enough in elevation so they would be “high and dry” in a future working corral that is “high and dry” If not you may consider pouring concrete over everything that is there so you could bring in a little dirt so everything slopes away from the new chute and you have drainage out of the corral area. At the price they charge for these new chutes, you want to keep them clean, high, and dry so they last. Just a thought…. Now I need to go and jack up my chute (originally installed on top of the ground) out of the mud pit that it is in……🤠

[@gregedmand9939]

I'm curious about when you decided to upgrade to the Arrowquip crush? Because a while back you were talking about improving the ratchet system of the old one. We're there no good off the shelf or easy to make mods? I'm glad to see you go with Arrowquip, as their North American factory employs my fellow Manitobans. Tom Pemberton, UK dairy KZbinr, invested in the model 87 portable system and swears it's better than sliced bread.

[@RoBA7]

Never getting unemployed;) Well done!

[@manleybrittain1296]

Anyone who says you are overthinking things is ridicules. I do not like doing anything twice and I don't blame you at all!

[@garrettaman]

The people who say that aren’t bright enough to know understand why he does what he does. Lol

[@joshmccoy584]

Great video. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the story.

[@robinwhitlatch4497]

Thinking about different options, thinking ahead & about possible problems is helpful in any project & saves time & aggravation in the end. This isn’t going to be easy to accomplish but will be well worth it. Putting steps or ramps on both ends of on the catwalk is a great idea, will be safer & your 25 years older self will thank you. Might as well do all the work now to improve the alley approaching the chute & new rebar reinforced level concrete pad for the chute & load bars to sit on. May want to consider extending the concrete pad on both sides of the new Arroquip by 4 - 5 feet to give yourself a level clean area to stand / walk on & put a table for vaccines, medications, notebook binder or pad to write on & etc when working cattle. You will be able to run pigs through to weigh them too. Would be easy to keep cleaner, sweep & hose off.

[@Saratogan]

Buy one of Jesse Muller's rebuilt skid steers. 😁

[@littleacresranch2096]

Good work!

[@keithrudderham7569]

Great Video. Have you considered cutting back to the closest post, placing the chute and then rebuilding your alley to fit? I would think it would be faster rebuild a larger section when the chute is in place than to cut a small section place the chute and then try to fill the small gaps. You might even be able to save a complete section of alley that you could use in the future somewhere else or even sell.

[@deankurth7622]

great video

[@GrantTravels23]

This is a lot like washing the truck right before a good hard rainstorm 😅. I bet he wishes he had recieved that new shoot prior to having fixed the old one😅

[@JimMckay-q8y]

Just subscribed love the channel

[@glennrollins8422]

Great content.

[@coyroberts8356]

Cool thanks 😊

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@montana4939]

You’re on the right track , perhaps bring the new chute in and setting it close by will give up at least an eye ball if your thought process is in the ball park.

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

As long as the difference doesn't warp your EroQuip shoot!😊

[@mikedaugharty5544]

Yeah Tyler always snowballs into more stuff than you kinda thought it was gonna take but you gotta do it once and do it right otherwise you're just spinning your wheels and wasting time but you're on the right track so keep it up

[@reaskelton4939]

Measure twice, cut once. Who knows but what your thinking out loud will not help someone else? Plus sometimes you put it out to us to see what solutions we might have - nothing wrong with that.

[@larrycrawford173]

I don’t think you overthink at all. With a cut like that you only get one chance and it’s better to overthink it than to figure out some way to cobble it together after you’ve goofed it up.

[@peterkoster5053]

A new concrete pad would be nice.... with elevated piers where the load bars go so mud falls away and can be cleaned around easier. I work in the ag industry and we always fight with snow melting then freezing and jacking up our load cells.

[@barbaralong3693]

Tyler, I was so worried about you falling when you were standing on top of the chute! You did a great job removing the old one! I'm so impressed with all of your abilities! Is there anything you can't do?!!

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Plasma cutter, you will need it there to fabricate the steps. If your generator and Air compressor can be moved and handle it.

[@jonchains5479]

Why wouldn't you cutoff the end bars. Then trim back the alley. Then weld then end back on.

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

Great strategy 😂❤🎉🎉

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

You made it look easy ❤😊

[@marilyncapehart663]

Hi 👋🏽 Tyler enjoying this nice weather I am 3-14-2024👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤

[@ericdownward6170]

Gotta admit you scared me balancing on top of that thing. Good busy video.

[@chrisunderwood2524]

Love farm life journey, Tyler...

[@tublifer1]

Step by step Tyler you have a chance to do everything properly now, before its to late it just takes your time to do it,so far so good.

[@annebell7274]

Well maneuvered. Part 1 👌👌👌👌😊😊😊

[@peterbiltnightrider]

Make that section of alley a gate

[@patriciabeyer8029]

Good morning.

[@michellenicholes2087]

My thinking was that if you cut it back 4 inches so you had wiggle room to get the new chute in place then you could have used the tubing to fill in that Gap

[@dylanhockaday9878]

May be a good idea to get you a hydraulic top link to make life a little easier

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

I'd just cut back to the next pole. Get the new chute in place, then rebuild to it. The height of things on the chute may dictate how you want (or have to) or need to "attach" it to the "catwalk" *alleyway.

[@barbaraberrier8840]

First time getting it right might take longer, but less headaches. So glad you're able to get right on this project. What does Mrs T think when she watches and sees you standing on top of chute? 😮 Have a great day.

[@benbruce8507]

Like to see the process and you explaining the why. One question though, would it be less work for you to cut a section out of the alley at the post you will be keeping and then use the existing end as the new end instead of cutting and re establishing a whole new end? I understand that one post is set in the concrete but it could be cut off flush with ground level too?

[@wroberth1205]

my question is why wouldn't you use the front endo loader with the pallet forks you have? I know you said the wires up above was the reason, but you don't have to lift the loader any higher than you did with the 3 pt. forks.

[@JimMckay-q8y]

You should get you some Frezer s and start far to table beef shipping is a pain but that’s where the money is

[@teresadasilva8773]

In away it's sad, the first time I watch you help a cow deliver was many year's ago , was in that chute...

[@johnlawton5534]

Tyler, would it be better to cut the end of the chute off so as you don't have to re-manufacture the same end and cut a piece of panel out of the chute to end up with the correct length. It would save rebuilding the cross over brace at the end of the chute. It seems a shame to discard something your'e having to make again. I've been screaming at the screen hoping you could hear. John...Australia

[@maryruss9349]

It's going to look good I can see your image .

[@davehafso7003]

When you bought the new chute did you spend a lot of time thinking about replacing the tub and alley too or did you buy the chute to go with your existing tub and alley?

[@pinky2502]

Tyler, could you not get the loader and lift it from the forks?

[@Misty45-kx3bz]
