Nothing better than a Sunday with family and 10th gen dairyman videos.

Loved how those cows acted after getting their new and tilled bedding. They were happy

[@victoriabulger9589]

My 2 year old son LOVES to watch you guys work, especially with the tractors and heavy machinery. Thanks for sharing what you do and explaining everything too. You guys are awesome!

[@davidepool5884]

Cows get so excited when they get fresh bedding. I love watching them running and kicking up their heels.

[@peterbootsma6623]

You could make some more shelter for the youngest calves by putting some light weighted wood on the sides of the gate. They will lay behind there as well

[@bobgreco6206]

You could till the bed pack before you clean it out too. Might help loosen things up and make it easier to scoop with the skid steer. Keep up the good work guys!!!

[@kmcinerney1]

Congrats on slat scrapers! I admire how you are cost conscious yet moving forward. I think your farm is an inspiration, your family has much to be proud of, God Bless 🙌

[@ez1913]

I'm sure they loved the airtime on your channel. Thanks for showing them off, Eric and Dennis.

[@allenwray6595]

If y'all would have had the manti still could have got alot more tires in the bucket when opening a new bunk. Be nice to see it on the farm soon.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Good idea changing both bulbs. You have great electrician skills Eric. I would hire you in a heartbeat if I was not retired from my electrical business. Looking forward to seeing the scrapers in action. Thanks for a great video.

[@TheFarmingLife]

Talk about strong winds we just lost 28 trusses Machinery shed. I didn't see that coming with the weather. God is still good.

[@charlenewenthold5150]

It is so fun to see you work the manure what a smart idea to give it refreshment the cattle seem to really enjoy it blessings to you and your family

[@anthonykaeb3778]

If you drill a hole and put a bolt on the end of the door track it keeps the roller from sliding out!

[@rosemarymurphy5767]

Yea pretty handy but Eric no longer will have a reach lifter manitou But it would of help with the door. How you going to change your lights when they go out again you have to have them at night to see. Cool never seen those kind before going to have our friend watch this so he can see it work . Maybe get more people to watch your video’s.Your explained a lot and so has your dad love learning more . How about placing your tire’s in a lean tube right beside the silage bunker the brick wall that way you don’t have to keep moving the tire’s around from one bin to another they be in lean tube. And you could store your rolls of tarp’s for silage in their as well.

[@dingdongdaddytimanderson]

Businesses that handle rolls of carpet have an fork lift attachment called a " dong". Moves roll of carpet. That would fit on your skid, and hold many tires. Great job of delivering high quality feed. Owners of livestock take the highest possible care of their animals.

[@googlinstuff8910]

Thank you for this well presented, informative and fascinating insight into your farm. My respect for farmers has doubled. You guys really work hard!

[@scottwiley8547]

Cows be thinking about opening a new silage pit, "Hey Eric, this smells different. Is it a new menu item?"

[@harrietcarpenter2387]

Thank u for the new video. Enjoyed it.

[@jacobberger7109]

I think we will be seeing this back on the farm some day

[@carynix8043]

Great stewardship of returning the two loaner machines. Thats the way to return things. Another awesome video

[@codycharles7147]

Yes always return tools and borrowed equipment in better condition then you got it in...seems impossible but it is doable

[@setholson6550]

Why not take the time and stack the tires on pallets so they will be ready for the next time and cut down on the work? So wish you could have kept one of the machines you seemed to really love the red one and we can see it made life a bit easier for the both of you. So enjoy the videos. Susan

[@mikeaiken4330]

With a refrigerated trailer, I thought you were getting a delivery of cheese! 🤣

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Can I offer a thought. The labor would be cut and make it lot easer. A few wire racks for tires be a lot easer storing and make next time lot easer spreading.

[@mickwg]

when Eric said it was a delivery from WI my immediate thought was they ordered a load of cheese, especially when the truck that showed up was a refer truck

[@TomPembertonFarmLife]

Love that you have to scrap the front of your clamp as well Eric hahah. Hope you are well!

[@JHruby]

That Manitou looked to be a nice machine. Never looked at those before, will have to take a close look at those. Would be nice if Manitou would let you do a longer term test. Have you looked at those MLA series of small loaders? Would you go one step up the line on Manitou or stay with the one you demoed?

[@r.scotthill3082]

Those slats could be cleaned in a few minutes with tractor scraper you already have when you have that side into be milked. No new expenditure and no automation headaches.

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

Running a tractor or skid steer through to scrape every milking would be time consuming and a pain. These scrapers can run many times per day and they will save labor and fuel so they'll pay.

[@EddieGalois]

Cheesehead here. Hope y'all enjoy your new turd hurders. Solid stuff, Damian🥛

[@brucemanley7593]

Wouldn't stacking your extra tires on a pallet as you go save you time in the long run? (Robin)

[@Itylien]

"I was talking to the camera." "Anyway"

[@johnh1353]

I love how some cows like getting sprayed in the face by the feed cart XD

[@davidcantu824]

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC HAVE BLESSED DAY

[@mitchellgourley4642]

Isn’t it funny how all animals once you put fresh bedding down they run in bulk and jump

Greetings and God bless from Wisconsin!

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video Eric

[@Marshall_Weber]

Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!!

[@robfl07]

Do they make a tiller attachment for the skid steer? That’d be super handy and maneuverable…

[@ProViper1337]

What does silage actually smell like?

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

I bet you’re sad to see that bucket go!

[@crystalparrish2087]

Just wondering why you don’t go ahead and put the tires on the pallet when you take them off the silage

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

We don't stack these smaller tires on pellets, they don't stack very well.

[@jbkinconcert.6005]

Oooooo canal bom!!!!!

[@kirb743]

Stop throwing tires in piles, stack them on pallets

[@10thgenerationdairyman61]

Only the truck side walls stack. These half car tires wouldn't stand on a pallet.

[@alabamacoastie6924]

I love the way y'all constantly improve your operation! The robot scrapers are pretty cool.

[@gregmcpherson6022]

Eric, I figured you would be keeping this one. The Manitou seemed like a better fit for you.

[@8tomtoms8]

He might have if it wasn't $90,000.00. That's a lot of milk.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

What is up 10 gen farmer. You were right about the rams. From the imperial co California.

[@steveneal2706]

Great video Eric. I just love you and your dad work so good together. Y'all are some great people. Love watching your video. They just make my day for sure. Thank you guys.

[@bobsandone3108]

Do you save some of the bigger sizes of plastic that you cut from the silage bins? I would think it would come in handy somewhere on the farm. Those cows crack me up when they discover new bedding. It's almost like a drug for them !!

[@Pcruz_19]

If you guys do decide to get a rototiller maybe it would be best to get it for a skid loader

[@stuartsplace100]

pretty awesome machines,i never worked much with skidsteers of loaders,i always did milking

[@siem040]

Your videos never cease to amuse me.I still remember the old skid steer. Still in love with that Kubota!

[@plutogaming4891]

cant wait to see how you utilize that scraper machines. I live upstate ny and the wind here has been pretty crazy. A lot more snow (obviously haha)

[@josephtrainor279]

We've had some strong winds the past two days, darn near pulled one of our gutters off here in Clay Twp. As for rototilling the bedding Saskdutch kid was down in California visiting a 5100 head dairy farm and they rototill their bedding to get it fluffed up and aerate it as well.

[@patzeuner8385]

Did like your thinking ahead and changing both lights while still having the telescope equipment. Saves on climbing a ladder later, Murphy's law, the next week, the other light dies. 👍

[@donnakytle6595]

Love seeing the cows,when they get their new bedding.

[@pumptruckjim]

Hello Eric. Just a thought. Perhaps you could put a bale spear on the Kubota and hook the tire rings on it. You could then move them to nice neat rows that could easily be picked up again when needed to fill a new bunker. Might save you a lot of slugging by hand.

[@davidwpinkston4226]

then you could have a tire toss

[@jerryjohns7358]

Your saying that you should have been helping your dad instead of talking to the camera reminds me of Marlin Perkins on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. Marlin would be in the helicopter and say “while Jim wrestles the anaconda down below I’ll check to see if the hippos are coming back.” 😂 Your Dad probably remembers.

[@sydsyd]

It seems.like one of those machines would help you out alot. Great demos, and explanations! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@tynagy4472]

Looks good man I’m 13 turning 14 and i look up to you and hope to become a first gen farmer

[@stevecraig6417]

What are those two blue jugs on the side of the mixer used for? I dont think you have explained those to us before.

[@thomasnugent6445]

Could you not put the sawdust in then mix it up with the rotor tiller? You avoid running over the tilled ground again & putting skid-steer tracks over your tilled area.

[@m1a1jake]

We should start a go fund me to buy him the Manitou. You can hear the sadness in his voice getting it ready to send back.

[@Supernaut2000]

It's Manitou for the Gold medal! I live in the suburbs and yet I want one also! I figure I can use it for cleaning my eavestroughs out!

[@vasekburian9248]

I was like "oh wow, new tools!" when you open the truck. Very nice! Enjoy it.

[@jamesbreault5762]

Great video Eric you will probably miss that Manitou

[@SkyBlueOffRoad]

We have several Silage bunkers up the road from me..I LOVE that sour smell, my wife hates it. I tell her that it is the smell of money hahahaha.

[@tarthibaim]

I love how excited the cows get after the new bedding is put in. They seem really happy, you guys take great care of them! Love the video Eric! Can't wait to see the videos of the poop pushers.

[@damionmullen7729]

You should put the time of day on the videos as you got through the day

[@jamesmilos9909]

The prefilter looks like a Donaldson. I’m pretty sure you can get them for almost anything.

[@garylarue5994]

Hi Eric! In the middle 40's, my Dad had a milk route, an insulated box truck, and went around to the small dairy's in our area and picked up there milk, cream, and eggs, and delivered the products to Carnation, or Early Dawn, in Spokane, Washington. From time to time, my younger brother and I would ride with Dad.That was a real treat! The milk cans held 10 gallons, and the cream cans were 5 gallons. Most of the dairy's were small, and only milked10-25 cows. I can remember when the first automatic milking machines started to show up. They were made by Surge. Before that the cows were milked by hand. Farming was hard work! I really enjoy your videos and commentary. GREAT JOB! Beast Wishes, AND GOD BLESS OUR FARMERS! Gary

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Always something to do around a farm, clean stalls, change bedding, repair equipment, and the list goes on and on and...... never a dull moment. The feed silage did look real good, I guess the smell is usually the first sign. Great video, thanks for sharing, have a great week.

[@gregcatlett1458]

Might need to raise the gates some , composting will save some bedding and clean out time Thanks Chet !! Beautiful silage also sir.

[@edharnish3294]

Question. How do you dispose of your old plastic?

[@samcowart7564]

Great video Eric really enjoy watching your videos I know you’re glad to have the robots

[@crackwitz]

how do you keep mice out of the bunkers? that stuff looks absolutely untouched!

[@michalistsiol6070]

I believe that manitou is perfect for your jobs maybe it would be a future purchase 😉

[@susanniman5507]

Love watching them after you put in the new bedding

[@christopherstpierre]

That Corn silage was top notch what was the Name Of the product you sprayed on before you covered it thank you

[@charleswolf279]

You are right about opening the silage bunkers, you hope there is no spoilage and the smell just can’t be beat! Keep the videos coming!

[@brianspaulding7802]

It seems it would make more sense to place the tires flipped over vs the current orientation. If flipped over they wouldn’t hold water. Is there reason for placing tires with the cupped side facing up? Perhaps you depend on the water for the additional weight to hold down the tarp.

[@croyfer]

I would guess that the cut side of the tire has a bigger chance of making a hole in the plastic. And the weight of rainwater would probably help with getting some extra weight on the silo as you say =)

[@jamesryan9206]

Thank you again for sharing. Hope all is well with your family.

[@kristianc472]

How much loss was there on the back wall of the bunker silo? I know that has been an issue in the past.

[@Johnat709]

Why are the Ladies so Happy on new bedding? Absolutley love when the act like they're in a Bounce House...

[@zammyb0y933]

someone should make farming simulator map of your farm, that would be cool. would definitely play it 😇

[@dobberaaron6658]

Another good video I bet. Signage smells awesome I hope the cows go up in milk stay safe stay warm God bless

[@yahsoobkhan3985]

Such a good channel join a year ago and love the content

[@johnearle6667]

I am planning on buying a used skid loader and was wondering Do you have a preference of which skid loader you think is best and why

[@paulwalsh548]

Should have a look at tom pemberton he uses the reusable and green friendly cover blanket and special sand bags, i hate seeing people use so many tyres. Will be interesting to see if using the heavy roller changed anything.

[@nicholasseitzer5994]

Please do a follow-up video of the manure collectors! Thanks for the great content!

[@makingithappen5178]

It is a sign of a good sense of order, to wash the machine that they have let you test. They probably did not expect it to be freshly washed.

Everytime the cows get new beading, they have a good time with it. They are funny.

[@MickeyMouse-vt4ce]

Love what you guys do and that you share it with all of us. I have loved cows since I was a kid. Spent many vacations on the farm. I only wish the newborn calves got to spend more time with their mothers. I know its business but they have feelings too and I have a soft spot for them. Keep up what you are doing. I love milk and cheese and I am grateful for those of you who provide. Take care and God bless you all. You are my heroes.

[@chriscrosby8012]

I Love how much you love your cows. Always making them comfortable 🙋‍♀️😊
