How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZbin channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

I live in suburban Long Island, NY. Not a farmer. I just watched 20 minutes of manure spreading set to music. I love this channel!

[@johncasalinuovo3352]

aas1018 Miller place NY represent!!

[@sc0tte1-416]

Yep. I live in a big city too but I'm not a cityot. Love watching these channels.

[@paulhudson8321]

As a farmer I always liked spreading manure in the fall and had my share of shovelling out broken down spreaders when the apron chain broke. As a boy we had a ground drive manure spreader. The axle broke last year on our new holland spreader. Rusted out. We had it repaired at a welding shop. Cheaper than buying a new one after we just put a new floor and new apron chain on it. Watched Boehm farm video. His dad fell on pto shaft running a conveyor. Stalled the little tractor but he broke 5 ribs when the shaft grabbed his coat and pulled him into the shaft. He’s lucky the tractor was small horse power. Good warning to the dangers of pto shafts on farms.

[@acomputernerd]

The drone footage makes this video fun to watch, thanks again!

[@CGW116A]

Super spreading! Gave Travis a good workout. 👍 No time to over think... makes Travis happy!

[@HowFarmsWork]

Just stole that for my title! Thanks 😂

[@ryanlevis7532]

Operation Make Travis Happy| Fun with the Kuhn and JCB

[@Kugerand727]

Wait ... Travis is happy ? Did anyone capture that on video ?

[@tedb.5707]

You can never have "too much tractor" on a piece of equipment.

[@michaelc9128]

Nice to see you have a great business relationship with Kuhn equipment, I hope they let you Demo one of their Speed rakes for your Hay operation this spring

[@richardpoe2461]

You guys are very lucky to have Andrew around! He’s a good guy!

[@iowafarmhandanf2266]

If I was Kuhn or JCB I would be thrilled with this video.

[@towstrapstoiletseats7231]

Iowa farm hand ANF |||||| They should have gotten a JCB on one of those spreaders

[@hiromantrains8676]

Ryan we Love watching you work, you are great farmers who keep America feed! Can't wait for 2020 videos. I love my cap I bought from you, I proudly wear it, I worked dairy farms when young and have always missed it, family farms in Washington State go back to 1890, loved working with my Aunt and uncle on the farm in 50s and 60s. They had a generator in the barn but wood cook stove in the kitchen where my Aunt cooked four big meals a day. I hated filling that wood box! It was always empty, even when it was 110 outside, we ate good! May the Lord bless and keep you safe always, your special people. 💞

[@HowFarmsWork]

Thanks for supporting us! I hope you have a great 2020!

[@johnnydale6515]

Ryan it is good to see farmers looking to better the soil .Nice to have the spreader to do the job. Kuhn JCB n and

[@MrVailtown]

Really nice video , the extra time you put in it paid off. Hope you get all that black gold back out on seed ground. Cool seeing Andrew

[@TheHwnleatherguy]

hughhhh manure haul & spread. the jcb is really earning its place. glad you got it and utilizing its strengths!!!! SPREAD THAT CRAP FAR. SPREAD IT WIDE!!!!

[@tucobenedicto109]

The fan spread on the pro push is bigger. Really cool to show the fourth hydraulic on the 8235. Two spreaders side by side what a video. Kuhn looks good and the jcb is a smart choice as it lifts up and dumps in. Hope the told is better and soul samples come up. 🙂🚜

[@stephendunham9597]

That is black GOLD right there!!!

[@shopshop-lx9hj]

nothing like having both an on-line and a live audience watching you spread manure! Soon you might have some of us crazies offering to help you. Summer camp down on the farm.

[@SimonKL11]

Nice video. Good to see both spreaders working together. I really like your drone shots.

[@jimbo8317]

I have a suggestion for a video during the winter I'd like to see. I'd like to see how you do your snow removal in the winter time, having 4 farms to do must be different from other farmers. I guess I just LOVE watching equipment at work!!! 😊 😂🤣

[@craiga657]

Andrew has to be the best agronomist going hasn't he lol...

[@MsSunwatcher]

Cool shot from the spreader!

[@jayrominger]

Video Quality = 100%, Content = 100%, Wishing How Farms Work and family a safe and prosperous New Year!!!

[@ajv0987]

Never before has slingin' muck looked so majestic!

[@acresofclayhomestead]

New to your channel. Love seeing the Kuhn spreaders. Thanks for sharing!

[@mennoreuten1563]

You see them everywhere lol

[@tonyburelle6633]

Hey Rhonda, good to see you here

[@MatthewHoag77]

This was a great opportunity for you to get a big job done in a whole lot less time. You did a good job spreading the fertilizer as well as capturing the shots, which is exactly what we expect from this channel. Happy New Year, How Farms Work! May 2020 be an exceptionally good year for you.

[@nitrodad15]

10000 plus views of Ryan spreading manure. Beautiful. Better then anything Hollywood is making these days.

[@mopeman440]

Those are pretty sweet spreaders! You guys are making a big dent in that pile and those fields will be better off with that material on them. Congrats to your Father on his new truck.

[@frederikspannerolesen9514]

Great to see grandpa (4640) and grandson (8235r) working together. Lol

[@wlewis6762]

Wow I can't believe how well these spreaders are doing distributing the manure! When I farmed back in the late '70s through 90's they didn't do this it was more clumps than spread.

[@thr8061]

Hydra-Push spreaders are great up north here when it freezes. The apron spreaders are nice, but are better where it doesn't freeze as much.

[@wrightfarmshoffman8663]

Great video, awesome spreaders , they spread real even , be a good spreader for your operation that’s for sure . Jcb is a good fit for those spreaders verses the old bobcat

[@SUPERSORNO]

The above pictures really show how well the orange spreader spreads. I think it does a better job then the silver/gray/turd colored one.

[@dimduk]

It was good of Kuhn to sponsor you, in farming all help is appreciated. Those were some interesting camera shots, the hydraulic seems to be the way to go.

[@bokivree9009]

Hello from Slovenia. Love all your videos. Looking great.

[@randywelsh7444]

Can't wait for this year's rewind!!! Love the past ones!!!

[@BossmanEight]

Who knew manure spreading could be so entertaining?!

[@feltro19]

Good video Ryan those spreaders are awesome 😎 kuhn makes great stuff

[@tbix1963]

Great video thanks for sharing, thanks also to Kuhn and JCB for giving you the opportunity to use their equipment and demonstrate just how affective it can be to clean up a really big chore. Wishing you and Rocket a happy New Year.

[@Kugerand727]

Nice “Formation Flying” with both tractors spreading simultaneously.

[@22gonefishing]

There's alot of sh!t flying at Travis' place. LMAO.

[@jordanperson3126]

Three really good brands of equipment.

[@viewerman99]

no I can't right now, I am watching dual manure spreaders in a field .

[@stanhensley3082]

I smell soil compaction? Darn nice spreaders. Great video! Thanks Kuhn Co.

[@marty0715yt]

Great comparison. The red is the ladder tracks,yes?? Lot more consistent feed than the pusher white.

[@paulreed6340]

Wow that looks like some high quality fertilizer!

[@marty0715yt]

Man --You could grow rocks with that mix!!

[@MatthewHoag77]

Rocks: the one "crop" of which they *don't* need any more, especially at British. Your point is well taken.

[@RKHarm24]

Great commercial for the JCB Teleboom Tracked Skidder. Watching them side by side, I'd look hard at going to the red one with the moving belt. Seems a better dispersion.

[@marty0715yt]

That is some good lookin muck!!. Get the bags out and sell it to the city folk! $4 a bag ,$9 for two!

[@FoodwaysDistribution]

Why is it more expensive to buy 2 bags ?

[@marty0715yt]

Transportation costs. You should know that coming from the "Distribution" sector! Had to make two trips to the stock room.b lol

[@callumhaddow1216]

marty surely you’d buy one then buy another one then 🤷‍♂️

[@beeroquoisnation]

I can remember numerous years ago spending some time maintaining the Knight spreaders with the twin counter flow augers. I endorse your sentiments for the push spreader. Great Vidya.

[@merrymanrc]

Getting the job done faster with both spreader going at same time both do a good job.👍

[@tarefoot]

That is a lot of manure......good stuff.

[@melchristian3638]

Good afternoon Happy New Year!

[@ElCorozo]

Great vídeo, Ryan!!

[@IH100]

Great video Ryan!

[@ginggur17]

I sooooo wish I was over there nearby. I’d be happy as hell to just volunteer to help ya when needed. Great video Ryan.

[@kreed1004]

you should drive that manure spreader on full blast right through the center of a shopping mall

[@timbrown5842]

"Only time the 8235 will be on a spreader". But it looks so good though!

[@HowFarmsWork]

I can agree with that! What a beaut!

[@MatthewHoag77]

@@HowFarmsWork A beaut and a brute!

[@johncasalinuovo3352]

How Farms Work she’s a beaut Clark. A beaut!!!

[@brandonkibbey2]

Looks like you got a little close with the drone and almost got it shot down, lol

[@rusnsc7622]

Thanks for the vlogs, wish you and your family all the best in 2020!

Thanks Ryan like the video and love the grey spreader,lest coponate to work with .

Great vid Ryan thanks..

[@jasonstockbridge3613]

Thanks Ryan happy new year to you and thanks again for the video

[@jessehiebert3419]

C’mon Ryan, just admit it that a nice red 7140 International would really match that nice red spreader!

[@14Marathons]

Awesome video...love the channel..always great to see Andrew...what a great Agronomist, guy and friend to you all. Too bad Dad had to work and couldn't run the Bobcat as well...All the best to all of you in 2020. Thanks for your great channel and work...

[@SomeGuyFromOttawa]

early on in one of the drone shots, looks like a near miss from a chunk of flying pooh! lol Great work by everyone! Nice to see Andrew come by and help out for awhile!

[@dustiningram2572]

Congrats Uncle Ryan. Now jack has someone to play with.

[@bullrider3218]

Great video keep it up I will keep watching

[@22gonefishing]

At 1:48, I see Travis dumped a clump of manure right on top of the JCB.

[@buffalojoe1970]

Such mellow happy music to fling poo...

[@memyselfandifarmer]

that's a lot of manure, almost as much in washington dc.

[@merrymanrc]

I think Washington DC got lot more

[@andyfield6854]

Any politician talks more shite than they are spreading

[@jimschaefer9290]

This produces something of value.....not so in Washington DC.

[@steveminer8341]

Wouldn't be great if we could dispose of the waste in DC as quickly as our farmers can now days.

[@karlrovey]

Someone could make a lot of money with a "Politician" line of manure spreaders. Here's the smallest, the alderman. If you need a larger capacity for crap slinging, upgrade to the Mayor or Congressman. Finally, our flagship for the politician line, the presidential slinger, has the most capacity of any of our manure spreaders...

[@BWYinYang]

Makes one wonder what the crop yield will be in that field on next harvest. 🤔

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

Almost 1st that JCB is still the bomb

[@treytonzoss1853]

That's a lot of hauling capacity! xD Great video, Ryan. :D

[@shadlambert8799]

That's seems like a pretty good set up with the spreaders and the JCB

[@algomafarming3799]

Good video

[@danielrandolph9170]

Good video Ryan always enjoy yal drone footage pretty cool keep up the good work & yal be safe !

[@plowboy7700]

I could use one of those for a couple days. Looks like they both do a good job.

[@chadsmith14]

I forgot to tell you in that life story novel I just wrote you. I used to have a thing from deere for my buddies 4430 for the fan on our 7300s. It was on the hydraulic hose between fitting and hose at the tractor. A rectangle block w a knob on top to fine tune your flow. It would slow down the flow more than the adjustment on the tractor would but I cant remember what it was called but I'm sire deere has some . thats where this one come from.wish I could remember what the thing was called

[@tdgreenbay]

Nice spreaders.... I got my 2 Meyers the 160 bu and the 210 bu they will have to do for me... for now...

[@towstrapstoiletseats7231]

If we had an 8235R it would be on our houle 7300 tanker all the time

[@jetegtmeier71]

I was waiting for your drone to get shot down by a flying turd LOL

[@randymaylowski2485]

Good work guys 👍 but yeah that's the part of composting it breaks it down so you would have less big chunks of manure laying on the field.

[@mikebonge7206]

nice equipment good for dad

[@micksmith1724]

Now all you need is to be able to load faster?

[@reggiefaggart196]

Need video on Dad's new truck, looks sweet

[@ginggur17]

They sure shove the shhhhh out well. Good coverage with the Deere’s indeed.

[@stevenironside4648]

Am i the only one surprised at the lack of snow. Or being from sask is your winter always like that

[@jameswest332]

That is some good looking "Shite", My vegetables would really do good with some of that organic stuff!!

[@mackrogers2262]

A new subscriber to the channel love the videos

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!!

[@manchis2023]

I like 4640. I from argentina 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

[@jimvance3236]

Have you done a comparison of yields for areas you have spread manure vs not ? Love your videos!!

[@clinthochrein888]

Geez! That is a lot of manure. I bet the fine folks at Kuhn mfg. stand behind their spreaders 🤔😂

[@raincoast9010]

If loading efficiency was your goal you should park the spreaders backed into the pile perpendicular to the long axis of the pile.

[@HowFarmsWork]

Could’ve done it with the 82, but the 4640 would have gotten stuck

[@kadenabbott4932]

Hey Ryan, quick question, are you going to be at the National Farm Machinery show this year?

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

Careful choreography with both units - insuring one is not behind the other. ;-)

[@thomasrouse3826]

How quickly do you have to till in the manure to prevent nutrient loss through volitilization?

[@banjobenson9348]

cool I want one of those and I do not have manure to spread LOL

[@captainclay4595]

Thx bud #howfarmswork and also #duramax

[@tannerkrcil1021]

You should try an Artex manure spreader too
