CURRENT SCHEDULE
Expect a new video every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 11AM Central!
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.

So satisfying and I’m not even doing it. I could watch mulching videos nonstop

[@digger5858]

Good video Ryan nice job on cleaning the pasture up!!

[@charleslynch7274]

That machine is a beast looks like a lot of fun to operate i probably would never get tired of that job

[@ThomasDrehfal]

That Fecon really does the job!

[@bradwunderlin1873]

That is Shawn's tree stand from long time ago 😂probably his license plate to fell off truck when we use to cut wood there

[@HowFarmsWork]

I figured it had to be one of you 😂 now I know where you’ve been getting all those big bucks!

[@mikey5194]

I have a family farm in NY and I love watching what you guys do and I would love to come work for y'all.

[@peacepeople9895]

There's just something about using something that's destructive that's so satisfying...

[@bhensel100]

I would spend a couple days mulching. Look how much pasture you are gaining by doing that. Beautiful farm, Ryan.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I would spend a week or two at it. Looks like fun, and the amount of potential grazing would be worth it.

[@daleley7645]

You get all the cool toys! That's a great piece of equipment.

[@SimonKL11]

It's nice to see the mulcher doing its work😁👍 thanks for the video👍👍

[@kg6jay]

It appears that the top left light on the back of the JCB was not turning on when you were backing up, unlike the top right light. (12:42 in the video for reference) Might want to check that out. Always exciting to see the shrubbery cleared away and ground opened up!

[@dustup2249]

Nice bid for enticing JCB to send you a new 8T and Fecon head. The new ball cap was probably their answer to your initial enquiry and they gave you the ballcap with a reply of "What have you done for me lately?" sound track.😆

[@waterskiingfool]

Love watching the drone shots of you cutting the trees

[@larrysheriff8251]

Hey Ryan, You got cotton wood trees you have to get them out by the roots. my neighbor has cotton wood trees and by the roots they come up by the roots. Wish I had a mulcher like that. Take Care, Take it Easy and Trust JESUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nikphoenix]

I love these video's. You get to see so much progress is short amount of time. Can't wait for update showing all the area you get cleared this year.

[@fredmja97]

love when the cows come up like can we haz leaf now?

[@Dick_Shinn]

Hard to believe we are past the first week of July, already!

[@mitchellgourley4642]

Very nice video Ryan can’t wait I love to watch people clear brush away make the past you look bigger and more grass

[@ronaldlee2376]

You are lucky, we have a lot of rocks baseball to boulder size to contend with. Enjoy watching you reclaim good ground .

[@chrisrichardson8908]

Did you put larger hydraulic hoses on

[@BrianJensen-ym5gk]

Looks good, and the remaining trees will benefit so much from your thinning. It looks really dense in there 🙂 Can the JCB run a hydraulic tree shear? Might help on some of the larger trees.

[@jeffschwering1300]

You should seriously consider screen guards for when you operate the mulcher..They can be incredibly dangerous.. I work in the office of JCB 's North American Headquarters near Savannah, where your machine was built

[@dylliedutch]

Does JCB make a teleskid with the forestry package?

[@jeffschwering1300]

@dylliedutch They did for the 325T..That was discontinued but you can buy the guards & there is a Lexan windscreen option

[@patkelly7999]

Mighty job Ryan, have a good, safe week👌👍🙏😎

[@huathai8204]

You know goats would do it for you all summer long even when you are working on something else...

[@lumpy1603]

That's not as fun

[@krusejonathan01]

Also goats are extremely hard to keep in. You have to have excellent fencing with nothing they can climb on and jump over.

[@kyleellsworth966]

You got goats that can cut down trees?😂

[@4MRanch]

Looks good! I’ve Never seen a mulch ran on a JCB before.

[@robbytorregrossa1037]

I could watch these type videos forever nice lights on jcb

[@brentkelsay3439]

The Treeminator. It'll be bark...to debark and devour more trees! Looks good Ryan 🐂

[@rongrose3746]

What a great attachment!

[@pandrdoberman]

According another videos u need add protect your front window glass. Its gonna be cheaper than replacing

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’s got bulletproof glass already.

[@billwieland8497]

That's one heck of a nice cheese shredder you have there!

[@Antonio-ti2he]

How is the maintenance on the JCB teleskid? Did you buy it new or used? Thank you

[@semihozgol8933]

İlk yorum türkiyeden.işlerinizde kolaylıklar ve başarılar diliyorum

[@busterbailey370]

Great video keep them coming please

[@shealy265]

So when will the upgrades be out of Beta test and launched so you can disclose?

[@clinthochrein888]

Awesome job Ryan! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Ryan I give you an A. plus on today's job.

[@rtz549]

Serious piece of equipment.

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video ryan lots of mulching done hopefully you done hafe to tend to that for a long time thumbs up and shared

[@anthonyfrench6625]

Great video i love the drone shots showing your progress. You should try to add more. Lots of more grass to feed the cows coming soon

[@jacobalderman105]

That thing is sweet!

[@tonyfox9151]

what happened to the flat mower you used to have for the jcb?

[@leol1682]

Love the video Ryan but did you think Goats would clean that now time for a big Dozer .

[@canvids1]

Ya put a D 8 Cat in there for a week and clean it up with some nice burn piles.

[@matthewtoes6433]

That has to be the best machine when you have a large estate / farm To get things moved it's saving massive amount of man hours there nothing to get rid of its going throw every thing keep chipping away intime be job done

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video Ryan, that machine does a great job. It would be nice if you could do it in colder weather when you wouldn’t have all the leaves to deal with and see where you are going, it’s just a thought what ever works for you 👍

[@user-rx3hm8ot3d]

wow it looks like JBC can mulch real land! Everyone else can ONLY mulch Pan Cake perfectly flat land!

[@shaneanthony1278]

Very Nice job now you have a new path to hopefully get the tractor 🚜 thur

[@u.s.a.satire5982]

Seems like a winter job. No green leaves and be able to see the whole picture.

[@dwightl5863]

Good chance there would be snow to contend with.

[@johnkemp4370]

Good video and filming your channel is great. A question from Texas: is the A/C in the JCB a good one or a joke? The single arm/side entry is wonderful. How many hours on it now?

[@Daveco82]

that thing does a days work!

[@bigredgreg1]

Good content. 👍

[@rtz549]

Get that valley opened up for use.

[@rossnolan2883]

Awesome 😎

[@kimphilley621]

That's a great tool.,too bad you don't have more time to open up new pasture land. I wonder how many acres you could get back?

[@nickpetrancosta7812]

Your awesome

[@tomhill4765]

Weedwacker on steroids!

[@centrumbiografen1774]

Hi Ryan. Is there a market for wood chips in your area? Here in Sweden I would have felled all the trees larger than say one inch and sold it to nearest powerplant

[@billcreed6882]

So who owns that valley?

[@timb4569]

I'm gretta "tuneburg" and you just wreched the planet Ryan. HaHahaha

[@brycemoats774]

What’s the extent that this can be used? Could you in theory use this to grind larger tree stumps?

[@SawyerManey]

Whatever happened to the rhino batwing mower

[@plaza314]

Ryan, I am starting to think an excavator pulls bush out cleaner than a mulcher. Whole trees and burn piles or burn pits all done with an excavator.

[@martennottelmann6375]

No thats the wrong way. Aß a good Farmer U need the Mulch for good Gras. Diversity Farming 👍

[@galegregory97comcast]

1 acre at a time that'll work

[@andywintz959]

These videos are fun and interesting to watch, keep them coming. One question, will you come back with a herbicide to try and keep it from all growing over again?

[@peterjames2004]

h ave i missed something i thought the one you had was like a giant lawn mower with 1 blade

[@yvonnejohnson1557]

That eats the heck out of brush. From gary

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! So has someone been sneaking in and hunting on you?

[@karlschupp8552]

I wonder if anyone leases them in louisville???

[@Blackwellll3066]

With all the land you Clean up a fecon mulcher is the only way

[@dylliedutch]

Can you at least say who did the mods?

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

It looks to me that it would be dangerous to you and the glass on the JCB. Maybe you could put steel grates across all of glass as a safety feature for you and who ever operates the machine. I don't mean to be a safety Natizy but did see several big chunks of wood fly as you lifted it to mulch down different trees. And honestly I was concerned for you....

[@HowFarmsWork]

It’s got bulletproof glass on it.

[@ReverseProof]

Video starts at 5:01 😉

[@shane7133]

So what are we looking at here? 135k-150k for the machine, mulcher and hat?
