The Vision is Almost Reality

[@graceveenema4762]

I finally figured out how this bale unroller is supposed to work. 🙄 And, from a non-farming, 75 year old woman, that’s a huge compliment! You’ve drawn me into this design and build project completely. I look forward to every new video and seeing the first unfurling.

[@lintlamb8397]

Two funny parts: when the steer knocked over the camera, and when you admired the rump on that beautiful steer. Made me laugh! Thanks!

[@annbarron5874]

Farmer T, your engineering skills and precise fabrication are so interesting to viewers. Thanks for sharing👍

[@allanpeters4403]

It's going to work better than a store bought one!!! WTG Tyler - PS - the little calf will probably become like Buddy - a permanent figure - lol.

[@jennifershephard4708]

Another wonderful Saturday! I have my coffee and your video. Thank you. Littles is adorable reminds me of how tiny Buddy once was. Bale unroller looks great. What color are you going to paint it? Blue like the LS?

[@carolyost6733]

Another lunch date with hubby watching FTR! ALWAYS A GOOD TIME! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS IN ACTION. WHAT COLOR YOU PAINTING THIS?

[@marciaolson4878]

Morning FT! Your list is a whole world above regular grocery lists! But, I’ve found the older I get, the better it is to have one! As always, it’s great to see what all you’re up to and what you get accomplished! Great vid!❤❤❤

[@pjment4826]

Save yourself some work. Load the concrete on to a pallet in the back of your truck while at Lowes. When you get home just move it around with the forks. I think of my tractor as my only employee. Great video as always!

[@lindakinsey1093]

I wish I had your energy. You accomplished a bunch of stuff today. Just going to town wears me out. Have a great weekend. Thanks.

[@kathrynbraun2073]

Looks like beautiful weather that day, may you continue to be blessed.

[@donnaml8776]

I was thinking the same thing especially since it’s starting to snow here in New York State. We’re expecting 8” with high winds. It’s just starting now.

[@jackieconnor6845]

Honestly Tyler, I have NEVER known a man that can do everything that you can do, your just amazing at it all, you really are so so cleaver 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊😊😊😊xx

[@bobbyfabiano]

On those grease fittings, just weld a nut to it. So you can put a socket on it and unscrew it with a socket.

[@susandias5388]

You are truly a genius!! I am always amazed at your handy workmanship. Love your show😊

[@dlj4660]

YOU ARE A NUMBER # 1 FAB MAN.... GREAT JOB

[@justmyopinion80]

Tylerisms You knw you are going to have a busy day when you leave the house with a list. One by itself does do you any good. Would it work any better? No. But it would sure look good. Better to have a guard and not need it than to not have one and need it.

[@davidcopling1442]

Enjoyed the build sir. We made one several years ago and still use it every winter. One thing we added to ours that most don't have, is a guard where our hoses mount to the cylinder. Ours is a 3 inch piece of angle iron, think of it like a bumper. You don't always spike it exactly in the center, and the bale can hit your connections pretty hard. Just our thoughts. Thanks

[@terrypotter4779]

Tyler the annular cutter cuts the hole true to size, where as a twist drill bit will cut 15 to 25 thousands oversize, you can run a die grinder in the hole to get relief.

[@angonorancho]

Also should be lubed and cooled with a water base liquid. Water, dawn and lard work well. Also, don't jack the drill lever up and down,load the drill motor and keep the load constant till it's done.

[@jeanohlerkingflower7284]

I really enjoy watching you create. I like the sound of the welding, and almost like a little kid I enjoy the fireworks. You are one amazing young man.

[@minerran]

Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Alfred19947]

I really liked this video FT. I had been wondering how the bale unroller project was going? Also, glad to see continued work on the loading chute. I think your decision to keep Littles separate was spot on. He looks frail and forlorn. I believe you are right if he was in the herd he was going to get bullied, and in worse condition. Thanks for sharing, and vicariously enjoy life on FTR.

[@jaclynalley809]

Good stuff FTR! Good looking steaks on those steers...

[@JB-mf1zc]

Weld your name on it!!!! Looks good can't wait to see it work!!!!!!! God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jamesacuff-oz4ph]

Add some jack stands to the head of the bale un roller to aid in attachment and storage. I’ve used 2x2 tube with a plate at the base. I’ve got two stands with a pto pin to retain in operation.

[@EdwardWebb-z4x]

From a old retired industrial maintenance tech. Take a drill and put a dimple through the bearing screw hole into the shaft. It will help the shaft from slipping through the bearings. Just a old trick.

[@allysonh6410]

A lot accomplished today, Tyler! Great job!

[@chrissiemorton4126]

Yeah another purposeful day!!

[@mea3665]

Freezing here in Wisconsin counting the days until Spring 61 😂😂

[@lifeoutdoorseveryday1682]

I would consider swapping the spike assemblies, because as the triangle tooth sections sit, the angled side may allow the bale to roll on the spike, instead of at the bearing - kind of like a sprag clutch. If they were swapped, the flat side of the triangle will dig into the bale and force it to roll at the bearing. It's possible that it might not make a difference - only one way to find out: test it! It's a great looking implement.

[@barbaraberrier8840]

Great to see steers are doing so well. Hope the grain and sweet feed helps Littles to grow quickly Have a great weekend.

[@MoPets888]

REALLY like your way of thinking

[@amandaefird7324]

Missed seeing Callie 💕

[@SuperFourwinns]

You are really talented. And like I have told you before, your steers are really looking great. They really should be excellent for the table. Just think with your help "little" will be a big strong steer also one day. lol

[@robertsimmons3556]

Progress on all fronts! Good post FTR!

[@sharongidner4516]

I like to watch you work on things

[@susananderson1216]

Hello from cold and sunny Idaho!

[@dakotabeebe6412]

Can you let us know what the calves gained from weaning too sale barn. Like to know what they gained on your hay

[@RichOstermeier]

Tyler, great video!! The bail un-roller is looking really good!! Looking forward to seeing it in operation!

[@brucerazor5202]

You really are a good fabric fabricator.

[@jeanneshannon5607]

Bet Greg Judy is enjoying these videos😊

[@micah06v8]

The bale unroller is looking good! It sure does look a hell of a lot more sturdy than the ones you can buy. Have you thought about checking Marketplace or something like that for a used lathe rather than paying full price for a brand new one?

[@dannygavin5860]

Looking great Tyler i watched other channels use them looks great

[@jennifermartinus4929]

You do Great work, Tyler. 🐂👍😊

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

AWESOME JOB LOOKS GOOD VERY THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

[@Ralphcanoeingadventures]

I don't know what a bail roller is. But I love watching you make things!

[@RobertKelley-f1b]

The un roller is coming along good and the steers all look good I am read to see it in action and laying out some hay good job .

[@ThomasKud]

Hey Tyler, you’ve built a work of art with this bailing roller. It’s a beautiful thing that you’ve done and I’m sure it’s gonna work great on the back of your tractor. Just asking a question have you’ve ever seen a Greg Judy bailing roller. you could of built it for a lot less and you can also use your 4 x 4 to unroll bails, which would save you diesel on your tractor use. Not to shoot you down, but it would’ve made your life a lot easier and cheaper to build. Can’t wait to see how it works. I’m sure it’s gonna work great. Keep up the great work.

[@coyroberts8356]

Cool thanks 😊

[@jonathandelamarter9002]

Coming together nicely. I enjoy your contemplation as you work your magic with the welders and other equipment

[@ShainCaldwell]

Next bale project idea, 2 bale spike for the loader.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

That bale unroller is definitely looking awesome job with that now color of paint are you decide on

[@bobkelly2447]

Honnestly I think you made that bail unroller alot more complicated than it needed to be..... but with your version you can pick up a bail without getting out of the tractor , pounding in rods or cranking a winch to get it off the ground..... so feeding the cows will be a 5 minute job and that alone makes it a wise move ! my hats off to you Tyler ! that thing will never break and that is what ya want !.... I vote for BRIGHT RED PAINT !!!!

[@jackdawg4579]

Those half covers on the grease fittings are perfect how you mounted them, they should still protect from a strike whilst moving forward or backwards, whilst giving excellent protection when you are putting it down.

[@athenarocar]

Add a little molasses to the pig feed. Then it is sweet and you use up the pig feed too

[@jacqueline-fc8wb]

Wow! it was so cool to me to see you make that metal pointy and make the star. Thanks.

[@denault3985]

So much work on the bale unloader but it appears to be worth it, almost done!

[@edensfamilyadventures2714]

Almost done Tyler! Looks great and I think it will work great too! You might think about running your hydraulic lines up the back of the upright so they are protected (like ones on my grapple) Keep it up bud! 👍

[@ericdownward6170]

Brilliant edition.

[@jackg.1759]

Your fidget spinner is a little over the top 😂 That’s goin to be a lot of paint that will be needed.

[@donnaml8776]

The weather is so nice there! We are expecting 8” of snow with high winds between today and tomorrow. It’s just starting now. I have a QUESTION: It’s about the calf. I was wondering how is the calf doing all by himself. As you’ve mentioned in the past that cows don’t like to be alone. So I how is that effecting him or maybe it’s not? Making the bail roller is very interesting. Thanks for taking us along. Looking toward to seeing it in use.

[@johnzink3309]

Thx

[@DWilt1969]

Great video Tyler, and just want to say that you have gorgeous eyes😉

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

Hi Tyler that little calf he is so darn cute will you give him some other cows for company? You certainly. Know how to put your ideas to become reality and work for you,when do you get your next batch of chicken’s and pigs?here in Ontario we are getting severe cold minus 21 below zero , I guess our Ontario farmers have their cows in their barns. We have had more snow this year,it’s good for the farmers to put more moisture in the ground Take care from Ontario🇨🇦

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Tyler has already said that he keeps the calf separate because the other cows bully him and he does not get enough to eat. The calf certainly seems to be making up for lost time on the feeding.

[@Sharon-g8q5u]

@ thanks for your reply but I didn’t know that I like to hear from Tyler unless you are answering for him!

[@goatram1]

Be nice miss sharon. He did say that the calf was bullied. Feed won't go to him but to the bigger calf. Feed makes all animals but wipes. Survival of the fittest is nature's way of improving the herd!!!

[@goatram1]

Pain+t is a pain in the rear. You live in a relatively dry rust free area. Yes it looks good but what does it actually do for you? LS Blue for color Coordinated curb appeal. Amazon has the hydraulic hoses cheaper than TS. Still looks good. Enjoy the dry and cool weather

[@TheDrewCharles]

Question, from the seat of the tractor, are you going to be able to see in order to center the spinner on the bails?

[@joannemurnaghan8921]

Hi Tyler still wondering where the little calf came from I must of miss that

[@freddylove9914]

Good morning Thanks for sharing the video

[@tsl7881]

[@jerrygibs8120]

Another great video Farmer T. Appreciate your sharing your thoughts and creative expertise. Stay safe, strong, discerning and alive in 25. Blessings ☝ 🙏 🙌 in Jesus's Name for all your family. See you next week on the next one.

[@michaelstingel7576]

Park the trailer in the spot where you want the ramp to be

[@jimputnam2044]

Will the star pieces not stop the last little bit of bale from contacting the ground??? You want the entire bale to be spread.

[@sarahgriffith8790]

Tyler, for all your inventions/creation's, you need to have a Copyright, you have lot of great ideas 💡

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

HI good morning Tyler from Indiana,

[@peterlee6574]

Have you thought about getting it Galvanized. If you do have it double dipped.

[@BrianArrington-o4j]

You can actually come straight out with the load shute and just angle the end instead of curving the shute

[@prestonking5736]

Tyler, there are plenty of leaves, not being used in California. You just gotta look for them.

[@sharonhooks9071]

Great job Tyler!

[@vietnamvet5826]

What is the brand of the orange portable drill you are using?

[@OldAcres8690]

[@leeprice2380]

Tyler, do know anything about Pete with JUST A FEW ACRES FARM. he has been off line for a few weeks

[@williamsmith5514]

Tools , How many time I have bought something its not higher compacity for what it is not made for it breaks or I curse myself for not get the larger or higher quality tool with the greater price . Shop around at weekend sales often you can pick some cheap gems !

[@thedoctor7151]

The Gene Simmons Cow is my favorite

[@ZacVaper]

The points are nice but the easiest to make ,and the sharpest, are just a diagonal slice...look closely at any syringe.

[@DQ_ThaBiggest]

There is no side to side stability. With 2 independent hydraulic rams it would've had 2 fixed points of stability. But with one ram in the middle of 2 free hinged arms whats gonna stop it from swinging side to side

[@thedoctor7151]

Salt!!!🙏🏻🤙

[@thedoctor7151]

Paint the unrolled blue and sell the design it to them 😉😇💀

[@CynthiaHolmes-n7m]

Another awesome video 😊❤😊❤

[@westsidesjvalley]

I wouldn’t waste money on one of those light mini lathes for doing HD farm steel machining like you do.

[@tsl7881]

He does a lot more fabrication than I do. Mostly repairs , but at times I think need a lathe and mill but a decent size chinese grizzly is priced high for occasional use. So the part goes to a machine shop for a week or two.

[@louiselandry3716]

Wish you'd keep that adorable little tiny bull for a pal for Buddy. He is so sweet, I love him.

[@jimmycarter3498]

I don't think I would have uses bearings

[@rpk1519]

Is Little calf all by himself? Doesn't that upset him?

[@allenbartlett3567]

a bale will spin with a rod at each end without the bearings so you do not need all that where the rods go in the bales yours look good just don't need all that

[@GrantTravels23]

Old timers learned that cattle would load into a trailer easier if the very end of the shoot ran along a building or something taller on one side. The building(s) also would reinforce the shoot at the trailer where cattle tend to bunch up. You can extend the shoot, but u need to make it a light at the end of the tunnel. Too dark and cattle won't go into it. To regular fence with light coming through and cattle tend to want to jump the fence vs enter the trailer. We found the best option was to run a bottom board, but skip a board up (so light comes through to the ground. Then cover the rest of the shoot fence with plywood so that cattle can't really look anywhere but the ground (light) and the light coming from the trailer.

[@caroledwards3465]

Ummm " Light at the end of the tunnel " ? Best wishes from England UK 🇬🇧 💙

[@GrantTravels23]

@caroledwards3465 if cattle do not see where they can walk, they will not go there. This is why cattle guards work so well in replacing gates. The same concept applies to a loading shoot. If they cannot see where they are stepping, they will fight u on going in it
