[@ktofarms9526]

We ran a straw chopper for years. We found it quicker to bed down with a telehandler using a mchale claphands grab with round bales. I think it would work in your shed shutting the cattle out into the scrapeing passage and then going in with the manitou to bed down. It is also very simple and low cost and saves money on fuel and tractor numbers and no dust for livestock.

[@TJMack-]

Yeah mate - that leveling just isn't acceptable - especially on a brand new shed. Have a word with the landlord and see if he can get the builders back in. I know it's a pain moving the cattle back out but it'll make your (and any other tenants down the line) lives a helluva lot easier with a proper draining floor.

[@antr7493]

Discount on rent from the landlord too if they can't get it fixed.

[@jameszy88]

Don’t forget straw bedding makes the best muck for fertiliser, it’s high in potash and can replace what beef animals take from the ground. It’s important to factor this into your bedding costs. For this reason I will only use straw as bedding.

[@CLEARVIEW666]

we always used saw dust on a raised bed. Similar to how sand is used in massive farms. Plus cawdust is so much easier to clean up and soaks up all the good stuff.

Move the cows like you did with the Manitou and the use the blower and blow out the back as you drive forward

[@jrvintage]

The blower will bed down much more efficiently than the bucket, also the tyres will compress the sawdust bed and reduce its porosity. So I would suggest making a crew yard at the end of the shed and move the cattle out when bedding down. You will save a load on material costs for the sake of 10 minutes moving the stock in and out👍

Tom maybe try wood chippings, we will once a week or so just use the bucket on the JCB and put wood chips down then another day put straw down. For us that works ok, absorbs all of the moisture in the cow muck well, and the straw makes it look tidy

[@petercross8871]

Hi Tom, my experience, with those Boden drivers they are really helpful guy's. . I think if next time you have a delivery, and you have the space in the shed where you have your straw, If you ask the Boden's driver he will put it inside for you. . I have watched Farmer P spreading the waste, saw dust, sawdust straw mix with his muck spreader. He just chucks it out and lets the grass grow.

You guys should look into a sawdust thrower for the bucket of the Manitou, like what the 10h generation dairy farmer has for his skid steer. I know they make them for bigger equipment like yours as well as a 3 point as well.

[@ioannichols6485]

I suppose that’s the main down side to rearing stock with no arable land, you don’t have any straw of your own, I’m glad saw dust works well and I prefer using it over straw but because we have tons of straw we just use that.

Move cows to opposite side while bedding up. Can still be separated by betting and feed side.

Yeah, not sure if the only benefit of blowing the sawdust is that you use less of it than with the manitou bucket method. It'll be interesting to see how you get on with it. For some reason i wasn't expecting sawdust to just pour out the back of that truck lol. Nice little video for a friday afternoon

Try slowing the shaft down a bit, I have a Teagle chopper, our big sheds i run it at full speed, but our smaller sheds which are indoors entirely, esp where the calves etc are, I run it at literally half speed...still more than enough blow to cover back corners of the shed, but get 25% the dust and 25% the straw going everywhere...and thats with straw, never mind sawdust!

[@zachrogers8836]

We miss the saw dust on our farm a thick layer lasts ages now we are bedding up with straw every day now. Quick question where do you get it from and how much? We really want it back we found ours only got wet on the top and stayed dry under so to save you a job you might not have to cover it up in future. And bucket all the way we just made a big old mess putting it through the straw chopper. 🚜💨

The Enthusiasm is infectious Tom! 🙌🏼

[@billlane7486]

Having watched a FarmingBros video before this it seems not all straw choppers have a 'remote'. Some of the stock seemed to really like getting blasted with the sawdust! You could try a combo of the two methods, put the cows in the feeding bit and blow the straw straight over them - if it has the reach to do that.

[@goglepop]

If the bit that’s exposed gets wet, just put some sawdust on. Should do fine.

Does the shed allow you to separate the cattle into 3 or 4 areas. If you can reduce the amount the Cattle can run around on the bedding the better it would be mite help to keep down how often they are bedded what I mean is don't let them have the full run divide into sections. Not sure if the gates allow for that

so my guess is that you are making a permanent bedding. This is often used on free-ranged horses(not sure of the english word). For this you remove the poop but not the wee. THis allows the bedding to warm up during the winter after all. I would probably sugest about 10cm of sawdust as a foundation and once it have settled use straw. Granted this comes from me as a HORSE person and not a cow one. So I apologice if I missinterperate anything or missunderstood something :) Just a tip from me :)
