The Grain Train! - NEW Farm Equipment

[@aTrippyFarmer]

Big gravity wagons are one of the most underrated tools on the farm, especially for a new operation. Backing a wagon could be an Olympic sport though… 😂

[@trapper7476]

I love how grant never gives up on the things he loves. He was a kid wanting to farm when he grows up and look now he is following his dream. Being a farmer and loving his life. Having friends to back him up when he needs it

[@kashliddeke8269]

Just a thought... If you wanted more space for implements and such you could just build a lean to or two off the side/s of the shed. It would give more shelter without using the indoor space. Plus it'd be cheaper than another shed. Only two walls and a roof.

[@jacobh8113]

If you want to keep the weeds down but don’t want to kill the grass, graze on is a chemical for cattle pastures but works quite well for keeping thistles and dandelions down

[@bennomand7225]

Hey Grant! A few tips are if you are planting when you are switching from one crop to another take a shop vac and vacuum the left over crop out of your hoppers and that should help keep the corn out of the beans and the bean's out of the corn. Also if you are attaching two groudy wagons or something like that together the trailer you are gonna put on the back hook onto it and drive up as close as you can to the back of the trailer that is going on the front then hook onto the front trailer and back it up while someone is watching the trailer to tell you when to stop.

[@granthilbert5632]

It was volunteer corn, meaning it was left on ground from last harvest and grew the next year as an actual corn plant! Hope that makes more sense! I like the trailer idea!

[@joshwagner5414]

My suggestion would be as you’re making money you can turn the front concrete into a shop space. Almost like get it prepped with all the wiring and slowly finish it. It’s the perfect size starting shop

[@granthilbert5632]

Good idea. My whole thought actually is not to go too crazy with shed. Eventually the dream (2nd dream lol) is too trade this ground for ground closer to home. So I’m building this knowing that someday I may be selling it. (3-6 years). Honestly If I knew I was going to farm this farm the rest of my life I would build a 60x120 cold storage (gravel floor) and then right next to it put like a 66x88 heated shop.

[@joshwagner5414]

@@granthilbert5632 ahhh I gotcha. Just seems as if you can never have enough shop storage and eventually if you build another you can keep the old one for chemical and seed storage

[@jacksinclair6499]

[@mike_k63]

I would recommend getting a hitch attachment for the skid steer. One of the most handy things you can have for moving equipment.

[@landonries8208]

You can just drill a hole in the forks or th bucket to it work just as well

[@mchuo7834]

There’s a hitch attachment for forks, you just slide the forks close together and put the attachment over the forks.

[@thesalabasharmas]

My grandpa has one and it is excellent

[@mike_k63]

@@landonries8208 that’s what we did for our forklift. Didn’t know if these guys had forks

[@BornToFarm101MN]

You’ll love the big wagons. We have two semis but still run two 650 bushel wagons for fields we can’t get semis in. Word of caution, when we first got them, they were hooked together and at road speed and coming down a hill to make a turn into the bins the tractor started skipping due to not enough tractor weight. I’m sure you’ll be fine but just be respect the weight. Safe harvest!

[@granthilbert5632]

For Sure! Would be pretty scary to be in that situation. Will only pull 2 together on 1 farm that is about 1 mile away from the elevator. The other ones will most likely separate.

[@joemama4042]

My Uncle and aunt have a massive farm in Davenport Iowa. He is a 4th generation farmer and it’s nice to see other farmers in the area!

[@jacobh8113]

You should get a front hitch for your skid steer - they are so convenient for parking wagons and getting stuff packed tight

[@Spdy-ip5nl]

Hey grant I have been watching your farming sim videos back in FS17 for 6 years and you always talked about how you wanted your own farm. And how you wanted grain carts. Now look at you!! Good job buddy!!

[@aidenwisler9201]

When we used gravity wagons we built a hitch plate that connects to the front of our skid steer and that makes it so much easier to maneuver them.

[@HappyHarryHardon]

Look at those adorable teeny weeny grain carts! Awwwwww!

[@gregv1206]

Add a lean-to!! Easy to pull wagons and narrow equipment through for cheap storage

[@lifeonthefarm7892]

You will love the side door on the building for multiple reasons; airflow, light, equipment moving, etc. Can’t wait to see more videos this fall.

[@4wheelliving132]

On my barn I have on the top of the walls all the way the length of the building, a clear fiberglass panel to let in light. Helps a lot. You're doing good

[@danielgeist5497]

Good call going with the side door. Seems like the equipment that is needed is always at the back of the shed. This way you don’t have to pull everything out to get that one at the back. Looking great!!

[@trippmontgomery8614]

This is so cool watching you build up I’ve been following you on the squad since you had like 300,000 and it’s cool watching you build your dream of having your own farm

[@matthewcrossman980]

We use to have a front row hitch on the tractors and p/u for backing gravity and hay racks in. Worked well

[@xBrodeurguyx]

For the algorithm. Likes, comments, shares, and subscriptions help your content creators more than you realize. Keep it up Grant!

[@Silver_obs]

I work on a farm and all our grain wagons and hay wagons have the front axle welded in place so its easier to back into cold storage

[@johnmaurer4521]

Hey Grant you need to insulate the inside ceiling of that barn. Condensation will build and drip all over everything. Doesn’t have to be a real thick insulation

[@wyattasmus4849]

For spraying weeds around the farm you should buy a sprayer for the back of you four wheeler you can get them at Bomgaars.

[@cmurt5824]

Boy oh boy that tractors gonna have a lotta miles on it when your done with it especially with it being one of your main workhourses

[@jasonprocai1020]

I just subscribed to your channel because what you are doing is what I dream of doing!!! My grandparents were dairy farmers with all green equipment, I worked on a dairy farm with all green equipment.....I love farming and of course John Deere 🚜🚜!!!! I live vicariously through many KZbin channels and plan on living through you, good luck and keep up the content. I am excited to what comes next.

[@terrynickelo1024]

Hey grant it makes me happy to see you and your brother working together as a team on the farm i wanted to tell you how proud I am of u and Spencer

[@joshuavocke9599]

Those wagons are light enough when empty that if you have 2 people they back up by hand really eaily, one person grabs the tounge and the other just push the front. Works nicely for getting into the corner of a barn or in small places etc

[@BluebellyGaming]

Close. The word is "cupola" and pronounced like "coop-oh-la." (17:05) Farm's looking good Grant. Thanks again for taking us on this journey. It's been grea to watch along.

[@christinemann3965]

So happy you found some wagons!!! All coming together. Harvest will be here before you know it!!

[@bl-newc]

What I've been told with backing up wagons is that you have to keep that front axle as straight as you can. Great video love to see it.

[@asquithmainlines699]

Windows are nice, the thieves love them. If you are just adding them for natural light put theme up high.

[@somersfarm1921]

Grant, a tip for you when using a tractor to back up wagons, is to use your left and right brake pedals as your backing a wagon up, whichever way you need to go. When using the breaks along with turning the steering wheel, makes backing a wagon a lot easier. Hopefully that makes sense to you, lol. Backing a wagon with a truck isn't easy, even for the most experienced farmers. I've farmed all my life, and it can even frustrate me at times. One of my friends that were neighbor farmers of ours, can back 2 hay wagons hook together, with a pickup, thats one thing, I've never been able to do, even on my best days, I dont have the patience for that, even when Im using a tractor, its not easy for me to back 2 at a time,lol.

[@NickIA319]

Seen you drove through the neighborhood (Lisbon/Mt Vernon) great to see local areas!

[@mattgr29]

Awesome to be working with you on this building Grant!!

[@waterskiingfool]

Nice looking grain carts. Building is coming along nice

[@Jeepinjosh82]

Build in one of the corners a small apartment with like a kitchen, bathroom and small space for like a bed or futon. Would be a pretty sweet setup!

[@eliheyvaert9243]

Those gravity wagons are easy to move around by hand in sheds and when you’re hooking them up to a tractor. We have two 644’s and it works perfectly for them.

[@eliheyvaert9243]

Also when turning with those wagons you need to make sure you don’t turn too tight or you’ll bend some things up

[@realredditstories420]

You need a dolly for those super hard by hand

[@dukechristner]

I like how it's gone from video games to the real deal since i have been watching squad for like 4-5 years.keep up the good work

That would be cool

[@granthilbert5632]

Yup, I could do that!

[@lukedesselle2491]

Grant if you have to maneuver the grain wagons around alot for some reason in tight places, make a hitch on the front of your skid loader or tractor it's much easier to steer the wagons if your pushing them with something hooked to the front, it's almost impossible to back then up with any degree of accuracy 😆

[@allenmoore4186]

Very nice gravity wagons! They will serve your farm well! Great video!

[@korbinbeer7815]

An easier way to hook your too gravity wagons/ back them into your shed would be getting an attachment for your skid loader that’s just a hitch plate. It’s a lot easier to back a wagon with a skid steer rather that a tractor/truck

[@chriskirchen7621]

You have a left and a right break use them when you are backing the grain trailer up. It is way easier. Don't hook up the other grain trailer and go practice. You will make it look easy next time. Your doing great at learning and you will be a great farmer

[@03_tahoe]

I’m not even old enough to drive but just from fs and Ats I can tell how hard that must be

[@charlieparr7339]

Not sure what you guys do over the other side of the pond but here in England we’d just build a lean to off the side of the shed to get some more storage space. Doesn’t even have to have sides just the roof. Good place to store equipment such as the cultivator as keeps the worse of the weather off them. They’re pretty cheap to build as you’ve already got part of the building there.

[@masonbluml3999]

You made a good decision would recommend getting tarps for them

[@bigdermogaming3572]

Much more fun but not as easy as in game congrats on your success mate 👍 just shows people if they put their mind to it they can achieve what they want by putting in the work love your videos 😀

[@dysondurocher4954]

the camper sounds like a great idea. keep up the good work.

[@timothyedwards9298]

Also put a lean to on the side or back if your shop best equipment storage ever

[@ryanmeester6943]

Another suggestion for your wagons is looking at adding a roll tarp system. Keep inside wagon and grain dry if wet weather hits…

[@garysloterjr1628]

There are some lights at Home Depot that are a trifold led, they work really well in my opinion.

If you get something with a hitch on the front it makes it much easier to maneuver wagons. This is coming from experience. On our farm we have a 97’ Chevy with a hitch on the front to move wagons and you can put them anywhere.

[@rodjohnson2938]

you'll find that those semi tires do well on the road, in mud its a different deal. We have one wagon with those on and one with flotation tires. Its amazing how the semi tires push mud, but the flotation tires just sort of part it and keep moving. So with two wagons behind a tractor, in the mud, you need lots of power and the wagons will really sink and leave ruts.

[@jameslcoble248]

Just got caught up with your channel. I like the shed setup. If it was my shed to add a little more space under a roof is maybe put put a couple lean to roof on either one side of both. Just a thought. Also I believe that it's a great idea for sticking with just one brand for the equipment. Probably wouldn't hurt to invest into at least 1 more tractor that way it's not alot of wear and tear on the one. Have a great weekend and week next week. Once again excellent channel.
