Squeeze Chute Swap! Part 2

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Nice, nice work for the day FTR. Progress being made as usual around the Ranch.👍👍👍🇺🇸🙏🏽✌🏻😎

[@reaskelton4939]

Never an end to work, your Grandpa would be proud !!

[@sandib4234]

🙂

[@deb283028]

My goodness, you are such a hard working man. You should be proud of how much you have accomplished on this project. Always nice to be ahead of schedule. Pastures are greening up from all the rain. Calves coming soon!!!

[@johnking8679]

All's well that ends well, mission accomplished and nobody got hurt !! Good job, Tyler. I like the way you figured that project out !! Blessings to you and your family !!

[@robertkelley1990]

Good job as usual that was a lot of work in one day but u will get it done have a good day.

[@JC-uq5gi]

Tyler, please don't be bothered by the comments saying you over-think things. It's my supposition that most people don't think enough. All the best things made, constructed, devised, are a result of "over-thinking" it...think about it. Lol. When a guy has to make every minute count, thinking things through will always result in time well spent. All the best to you, young man. You're inspiring many.

[@jackmargason2594]

Well done Tyler. I'm really enjoying the new chute project.

[@lorrieannesilvey474]

You definitely have a natural engineering way of figuring things out. I must say......it is the best times to watch you. Thank you for giving us this part of your abilities. These videos of yours are one of only 3 things I look forward to every week. The other two are the ability to do for myself . Shopping and taking care of my own environment are the other two. The great memories of my time on our farm come blazing into my mind plus your imagination and problem solving skills are so soothing in my advanced years. Again......thank you very much.

[@billreal76]

I'm so glad we're here for you to bounce your ideas in real-time off us! 😀

[@annebell7274]

You're getting there. Well done 👌👌👌💕

[@marciaolson4878]

Good job Tyler, always a pleasure to watch you complete a task!!!! God’s blessings!❤❤❤

[@dougallmcmillan8970]

My father's generation of Australians referred to the small sledge hammer as an American screwdriver. You keep that reference alive for later generations. Thank you for another great video.

[@carolyost6733]

Boy, im tired from all that work. Great job! Glad to see you were wearing eye and EAR protection.

[@nadeenflynn9673]

Fantastic that you got more accomplished than planned. Love watching this project come together.

[@jennifershephard4708]

Great job! Can’t wait for the next phase in the chute exchange.

[@jaclynalley809]

love this time of year on the farm!!!

[@jrobtube]

I was visiting my friend at his new property this weekend and we were looking at a junk pile left by the previous owner. There were a number of metal chain link fence posts in the pile with the concrete still attached. We decided to chip off the concrete with a pick and maul to save the posts and this video reinforced the rightness in that decision. I think I was channeling you and your re-use whenever possible mindset and it's funny to me to see it in this video.

[@donnaml8776]

🎉SUCCESS!!! 🎉 Nothing better than a plan working out better than you expected. I’m enjoying the progress. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next edition of “The Squeeze Chute Swap!” 😃

[@graceveenema4762]

I was cheering, Tyler!

[@cindymcmurray6879]

Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

[@VanDeWitt-u4y]

You are truly an amazing man!!! Keep up the great videos!! I grew up on a farm in Bozeman, Montana. Really miss the farm life. Many blessings to you and your wonderful family.

[@lindakinsey1093]

Good morning. I enjoy how you think and process a job. Good work. Yeah you were able to save those posts.

[@tedduke1699]

There was never a doubt you could yank it out! Good work as usual.

[@Chrisgalin]

Damn Tyler! I gotta say you are a badass brother! That was a hard job! Breaking up conceete is no easy task and then to get it out of the ground. Thank god for that tractor and chains.

[@purdy6947]

Nice job! I am excited to see the new chute when it is done. Your ability to tackle any problem never ceases to amazing me. Well done, Tyler!

[@perrywollam8981]

Haven’t farmed in 40 years but still raising a garden every year. Bailing wire and duct tape are staples for any farm. In 60 years now there has always been a roll of tye wire in my truck. Duct tape is considered John Deere repair kit

[@kkeenan536]

When you were wrestling with that last post, I was saying to the screen, “back into it”, & then you backed into it 😆 That was a big job done 👍👏

[@lindacbenson4400]

If you still want a step off of the cat walk you could, maybe, use that section you cut off the end of it. Seems wide enough so you wouldn't miss step when using it. You might possibly try designing a way to pull it out/tuck it under the stationary cat walk so it wouldn't be in the way when not in use. 🤔

[@julieenslow5915]

Congratulations! Amazing job - a hard one in every dimension - and it is DONE! Well, the demo and keep the parts part is done!

[@DaliaWoods]

Loved the video can't wait to watch you finish it.

[@nathanielsanborn9298]

I like the hat. On the right side i think it should be FTR.

[@olgalewis6661]

You are resourceful! You are a pleasure to watch!

[@mrslib]

Oh, how I love to watch others work. I learn so much that I will never use.

[@janetdupree6353]

W😳W, you made some serious progress! I am sure I will enjoy watching the progress of this project.

[@DonnaKnower_sez]

Yippee! It all worked out!! That was very interesting; great video, as usual! I love how you talk to us as you go, explaining your thoughts and expectations; it’s like a shop class 😁👍👏! Not that I’ll ever use this info myself, but maybe I can advise someone else 😉! Never can tell hahaha! I’m so happy everything went so well for you, too. Being able to salvage the square tubes was fantastic, like money in the bank. So much of what was removed is reusable 👍👏! And the cut off catwalk will make that step you’re wanting 👏👏! Ready assembled; just need to shorten the height a bit 😁👍! An excellent day of work!!❤❤

[@madampolo]

That was a lot of work just to save the two posts especially since you will have a lot of work to do to be able to use them. I, too, was thinking you better get that old chute working because when you need it, you'll need it immediately. A long day of work! I can't wait for there to be babies in the Winter pasture.

[@hopeherefords8122]

I bet that concrete was way harder to chip than it looked! Hell of a job 🎉

[@Cinder2008]

I enjoyed the video.

[@Saratogan]

Binder twine and chewing gum! 😁

[@cynthiatumbling1038]

Woohoo!

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Tyler must have a nice sense of accomplishment. What he tentatively tried worked better than he hoped. Good work, Sir!

[@anneoreilly4900]

I enjoyed that last pasture shot.

[@rickwhiterock2681]

Excellent Tyler, got me jack up to clean up my Bucks bag float raft to sell.

[@kevingordon7426]

Hurray. Hard worker you are.

[@drdave1947]

great video!

[@marionsmith1464]

Good job

[@craigwhite7698]

Good job!!

[@allanpeters4403]

All's well that ends well - you need to patent the configuration of the old chute set up - LOL. Nice job!!!

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Legs on old cut off catwalk and there's your step. So great to see so much accomplished. Looks really clean cut.

[@joannthompson765]

nice progress for a good day of work

[@monamoon925]

What a satisfying work day!! I clapped and yelled when the posts came out!

[@dougpeterson5257]

A good days work 😊

[@mabelodell8439]

It was a good day. You managed to get a lot accomplished. Good job

[@dm55]

I've learned to laugh when you say, I don't give this a very good chance of working. Things you do always seem to work out. 😃

[@robertsimmons3556]

Work In progress! Good update! How do you eat an elephant, one bite at a time, just like putting in a new chute! Good post FTR!

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO TYLER 😊

[@deangustafson7533]

That cleaned up real nice!

[@bradplueger7951]

Question: If you need to use your old squeeze chute to aid in delivery of a calf, since the normal exit out of the chute is not leading into a corral and is open to the driveway, do you back the cow out or do you have another plan? Seems like a cow's "reverse" is unpredictable!

[@coyroberts8356]

If you can step over it you can weld it!!😊

[@hattiecolley54]

Keep Pushing Tyler. Ur Skills r Exceptional. Everything coming along really well. I do Appreciate U! Looking Good.

[@jimgable2422]

Good job Chip!

[@JoshFedderman]

Hi, farmer Tyler. No job to small or too big to complete, stay safe and God bless you and your family from across the pond in Great Britain

[@coyroberts8356]

Cool thanks 😊

[@steveschweiger6569]

Power of hydraulics never seem to amaze me.

[@RoBA7]

Congratulations! Well done again!

[@montana4939]

Great job !

[@nadinelataille7462]

Well, that strong catwalk piece you removed is a good stair starter piece.

[@tamstertx63]

Hay twine for the win!!!

[@liljoeii6091]

That was a lot of work wow you got to be super tired thank you for the video

[@daleredmond6449]

Found myself cheering along with you as that first square post came out so smooth great job Tyler

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉😊

[@LydiaUtsinger-b3r]

Very ingenious!! 😊nice to watch your plans Work !😊

[@manleybrittain1296]

You did an incredible job doing this work in one day getting as far as you did!

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Another great job

[@robynmorris7945]

FTR has to work really hard to “undo” his previous hard work😂. So many steps to take…one at a time and you are rewarded with success. Good job Tyler!!

[@freddylove9914]

I agree tyler metal is very expensive

[@lindadreier3207]

That was amazing to watch.

[@leobegin4694]

You are good,,,, very good!!!!!!

[@tonywise3705]

Great job, always gotta salvage

[@denault3985]

FTR 1, Concrete 0...nicely accomplished Tyler.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@USSBB62]

I'm not sure this is appropriate . But I use a thick construction trash bag around metal posts that I'm going to put into concrete so when and if I need to pull it. You can knock off the concrete easily or if it sticks to the post at all. It has never interfered with its holding capacity that I know of. Just throwing that out there.

[@PatricesProjects]

Ingenious ingenuity.

[@81carrerasc]

Boom Shacka Lacka Boom ............................

[@anneoreilly4900]

Professional twine job, lol. And then you do this top notch alley deconstruction- working smarter that’s for sure, FTR.

[@nadinelataille7462]

That beautiful green grass where the temp chute is…i was thinking…tie a cow there lol.

[@daynaswan427]

😊

[@phil-1115]

@6:00 Tyler, Just out of curiosity here. After you run the heifer into the chute and take care of the issues, what is next? You can't back her out of the chute. You can't release her into the open field. I am guessing you will have to back the trailer up to the head gate and load her in the trailer?

[@hschultz123]

Oil pipe can be notched in a couple of minutes by making two miter cuts with a chop saw.

[@Misty45-kx3bz]

💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@bobwollard9105]

Tyler, I am just curious why you didn't just use a plasma cutter for removing all of that metal fencing. Power not available? Not trying to be critical. Just curious.

[@mary-i7d9d]

Good job in deconstruction 😅

[@sawdust302]

Have you tried a grinding disk from Bad Dog Tools?

[@briangrammer898]

❤❤video ❤❤

[@billymc1628]

How about a acetylene torch

[@gregedmand9939]

I haven't seen you use one yet but: did you ever consider using an air-arc gouge for your shute alteration?

[@CurrentChoices]

When does contracting out for improvements ever make sense?

[@johnking8679]

The twine (rope ?) you used could fail after a while !! Wouldn't bailing wire have been a better choice to secure those panels to the squeeze chute ? That's this city boy's guess......?

[@jaclynalley809]

I used twine on my "temporary" chute last Saturday. It's easy to cut loose with my pocketknife when I get through with it but strong enough to use "temporarily". With the wire I'd have to get the pliers to cut it loose.... that's why I use twine on my farm

[@ezinatx]

I noticed that there was no rebar in the concrete pad. Are you planning to add something to the new pad to make it stiffer for the scales? Would it even make a difference to your weight readings?

[@cynthiatumbling1038]

Bet a hammer would fix it! Classic!

[@xtender5]

Pardon the city boy question, Tyler, but how will you get the hypothetical cow out of the old chute if the front end is wide open and it could just run off anywhere. Can you get it to back down that alley?
