Starting to clean junk haylage out of our 60ft Harvestore silo, changing 4240 oil, steamer baring 30% UAN on triticale and more. Thank you for watching.
Please be soooooo careful inside those silos... a young man with his whole life in front of him was killed inside a harvestore silo last November in Wisconsin doing exactly what you were doing. Please be careful and never ever ever do that alone. The world is desperate for people of your character and work ethic , Eric. Thanks for everything you do
you're telling him to be careful in the silo after he said in the video that one needs to be careful in the silo, i'm surprised you didn't give him a great tip to use a fan to blow fresh air in the silo.
yes, according to country life only old people work, very few young people do anything at all. i think you need to get off the youtube and experience the world out there buddy.
Heck I’m out everyday but my job requires it,but i stay away from people when i can and have done that long before this so called virus thing started.. be safe in Seattle and stay sane. We’ll all get thru this..
I love your channel and your down to earth way of presenting every day dairy farm life. I grew up on a dairy farm and your channel makes me so lonesome for that life again.
We use to keep cutting our washing hose too until we switched to a fire hose! It was life changing and way more durable. Haven't had any issues with it now for almost 5 years or so. Well worth it!
That's one thing I can say about him here too hes dedicated to keeping the farm working cause the way he works cause on the vedios hes always gets it done on there
Eric, your videos are fantastic! I'm in Michigan and can't wait for things to green up around here. Thanks for posting such great videos, stay safe and healthy!
I can't imagine a rubber to rubber connection for the oil filter. I love how you run from job to job through the day. I would never have the balls to go inside that silo, I admire your doing it. Great vid, Peace.
Thanks for the videos, I grew up on a farm, raised Holstein calves on a bottle. You never get it done, but being connected to the place where food grows is it's own universe. A lot of wisdom comes from the surprise lessons that are thrust upon you. I get to farm with you and I enjoy the time I spend visiting with you via UA-cam.
Amazing day of hustle from project to project! Eric, much thanks to your family for demonstrating what it takes to provide America with a constant supply of the kind of product that is so often taken for granted. Chocolate milk cheers to you! :D
Where to begin a true mechanic. “An inch and something “ Lol 😂 what a great milk inspector !! The overview from atop the silo was beautiful! Very very good video for sure 😊🚜
Nasty silo, thank goodness it only has to be done occasionally. View from the top of the silo was pretty. Great to see the area greening up. Well done Eric.
I just subscribed to your channel. You are very articulate and explain things well. At the end of your video, I was sooo jonesing for some cold chocolate milk. That was a very cool power move, but very sincere. Thanks for taking the time to share your life with me and others with these videos.
I’m studying to be a vet tech. And now after watching your videos for a while you sparked an interest in me working with farm animals and making sure they get the proper care and need to live a nice long healthy life.
My FAVORITE CHANNEL- THANK YOU ‼️ Ask your Rep/ Inspector how to get that brand of Chocolate Milk in GEORGIA‼️ I can get them in ALL CLIPPER PETROLEUM STORES‼️ Glad to see you wear gloves more and mask! Proud of your welding skills‼️ Blessings to YALL- Tell dad 🙏 Thank You- I’m 65 and both my boys and Daughters were going to learn Stone Masonry/Concrete Business- but MS took me out before they were old enough‼️ Raised on Poultry, Egg, Hog, Cattle Farm and Hatchery long ago‼️ Masonry was easier‼️
Great video and got to be safe in them bins, we pulled the chopper out of the bin and when is was clean we filled bags if saw dust and made a nice heep so the chopper would go back in when feeding started
The only thing better than watching a young farmer do farm work, and watching a young farmer drive a farm tractor in the field and on the road....is.....(wait for it).......watching a young farmer distribute "chocolate-milk-availability" throughout the various farm work-shop venues. Enjoy your content, love your farm, keep the nose to the grindstone. (yea-like a kid on Christmas with chocolate milk) The mountain dew takes a second-row seat to chocolate milk.
GoodJob Eric on the cleaning job I bet your father it's glad he has you to help out you are like a one-man working machine you never stop I had five girls no boys if I was your father and I'm sure he is I would be so proud of you thank you for a great video 👍🇺🇸
Hi I am new to your channel. So educational. Thank you for teaching us. I've always wondered what goes on on a farm. You are blessed with a great farm.
Hey Eric I love you videos I just started watching a couple weeks ago and I just finished your whole channel lol I'm dairy farmer in NY and I think you videos are great and helpful for informing people who want to learn more about dairy. I think it would be a cool video idea for you to talk about the farm some, the history, the generations, and where it's at now. Keep up the good work!
Great video! Seems kind of funny that we just changed the oil in our feed mixer tractor and so did you. Everybody must be doing spring maintenance around this time of the year
I can handle doing anything on a farm but going in silos or having to climb them. Afraid of heights and confined spaces. You are awesome flying up the silo steps and climbing inside. Be safe- and thanks for the great video !
Good evening, always a pleasure to view the wonderful content you put together for your followers. Very very interesting to watch your daily activities. Makes one wonder how you relax and goof off when you get time. Stay safe and get busy. Lol
Awesome how you guys still use silos. I love them and everyone seems to hate them. But to each his own I guess. I like when I just flip a switch to feed :D
I have an intense fear of falling. Watching you climb up that ladder nearly did me in. I think I saw you crack a smile when you saw the chocolate milk. :)
I can imagine some farms have no debt load. The profit margin is less than most bank interest of 6%. Banks are making that because they think they in a risky business.
If you lube your o ring a little more with clean oil, the filter won’t stick on there that hard. Love the videos, keep them going, Watching from a hay production farm in Ohio
The seal always goes into the groove on filters. The reason the seal was on the tractor is because it was stuck. Happens alot on heavy equipment. Good luck and keep the videos coming
Watching from Ireland,great vid,be very carefull with the methane gas in silos or when agitating slurry,,always have another person,it will knock you out without even knowing its happening.Gob bless farmers the world over.
Great video..Quick tip.. use clean engine oil to lube up the filter gasket. Like that you put service info on filter, I add the filter part number and engine oil capacity..
Please be soooooo careful inside those silos... a young man with his whole life in front of him was killed inside a harvestore silo last November in Wisconsin doing exactly what you were doing. Please be careful and never ever ever do that alone. The world is desperate for people of your character and work ethic , Eric. Thanks for everything you do
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I know it has to be done but please... Safety safety safety.
Andy Lieffring you are right my uncle lost his foot from a farm silo
you're telling him to be careful in the silo after he said in the video that one needs to be careful in the silo, i'm surprised you didn't give him a great tip to use a fan to blow fresh air in the silo.
@@pratwurschtgulasch6662 lmao! Or to warm up your tractor before doing an oil change to help loosen up the oil.
As a 10TH GENERATION DAIRYMAN i am pretty sure he knows the dangers and safety precautions to follow while working inside the silos.
I wish more young people worked like you the world would be a better place. Thanks for the videos.
If 1/4 of the people worked like Eric and his family does,then this world be a lot better place...
@@cowboyupnow63 yeah it surely would and it would be even better if there weren't any wars
@@cowboyupnow63 that's the truth. I wish I could move and be apart of there crew. I would love to work on a farm with them.
yes, according to country life only old people work, very few young people do anything at all. i think you need to get off the youtube and experience the world out there buddy.
I don't quite understand this comment,I'm 14 and I work hard I'm not Bragging it's just the truth there's still lots of young people that work hard
"...I need to have chocolate milk availability at different parts of the farm..." SPEAKING TRUTH!
The view at the top of the silo was amazing! Thanks for including that. I've been binge-watching your old videos. Love the channel.
Stuck inside in Seattle. Been inside for three weeks with NOTHING to do. Your videos have kept me sane.
Hang on in there.
The virus doesn’t grow on grass and trees...... you can go outside..... stay away from people
Heck I’m out everyday but my job requires it,but i stay away from people when i can and have done that long before this so called virus thing started.. be safe in Seattle and stay sane. We’ll all get thru this..
Welcome to our Great Northwest. Hopefully we'll all be able to return to our normal lives soon. Good health and safe keeping from Tacoma, Wa.
@@jklaas4987 Tough to do when you live in the middle of a big city that is shutdown.
Eric is a fine young man who exemplifies what this nation needs more of.
I love your channel and your down to earth way of presenting every day dairy farm life. I grew up on a dairy farm and your channel makes me so lonesome for that life again.
When he got the chocolate milk it look like he was a kid on Christmas
I would have that look on my face too if some1 dropped choco milk off at my home :)))
That's different. We use to have to bribe the inspector.
We use to keep cutting our washing hose too until we switched to a fire hose! It was life changing and way more durable. Haven't had any issues with it now for almost 5 years or so. Well worth it!
Cut off 6" of hose, split it long ways, then slip it over the hose and fix in place with another clamp to provide some wear and strain relief.
They sell a spring that can go over the end of the hose to stop that.
anastyb or a 90 degree fitting
Nice trick!
The view at the top of the silo was amazing! Thanks for including that. I've been binge-watching your old videos. Love the channel.
tip with putting oil filters on if you lube the gasket with oil it will make it easier to get the filter of when changing oil
Yup that's correct there now
Beat me to it
Also when tightening up he filter twist the filter back about 1/2 inch to relax the seal ring , it helps when taking off the filter
On my farm we use hundreds of filters a year and putting oil makes things go better.
Shouldn't it only be hand tighten too?
Thanks for sharing your work day Eric. Great video as always! ✅
The farm is in good hands for future generations with you there. Hope you all stay well.
Don't marry no wicked city woman now Eric.
That's one thing I can say about him here too hes dedicated to keeping the farm working cause the way he works cause on the vedios hes always gets it done on there
@@jamesburke5709 vedios?
not after you just jinxed him with that statement, it's probably too late to knock on wood now.
Chocolate milk and Mountain Dew, 2 of the 4 major food groups. It does a body good! Stay safe and healthy, my friend ( family too).
Eric, your videos are fantastic! I'm in Michigan and can't wait for things to green up around here. Thanks for posting such great videos, stay safe and healthy!

Too many horror stories climbing inside Silos that's some brave stuff.
Hello from a Frenchman watching your videos!

That grass is looking NICE !!! Keep up the great work.
Amazing day of hustle from project to project! Eric, much thanks to your family for demonstrating what it takes to provide America with a constant supply of the kind of product that is so often taken for granted. Chocolate milk cheers to you! :D
Thanks for cleaning the windows of your tractor. It makes a huge difference.
I love all our farmers and dairy men! ✨💕✨🌝✨🐄✨Thank you for all the hard work.
As always, great video! Thanks for sharing❗❗❗ 🙂🙂🙂 👍👍👍
Thank you Clover Farms ✨🍀✨🍀✨🍀✨ for making my fave dairyman happy.

Once again I appreciate the way you explain everything. I love watching your videos

You do a great job explaining 👍🏻

Nice job on the videos, really enjoy all the types jobs you do on your farm. Your work ethic is first rate , stay safe out there
lot of work in this video. thank you for taking time to make it. I always enjoy watching it. BLESSINGS!
This young man knows what he is doing. Busy and hard work. Peace from SW Florida 😇!!
Always pull key when changing oil... one engine later, lesson learned, 40 years ago. Especially when other people around, or not...
Small things like that, stuff that you usually will never think about, comes only from experience.
Bored.In.California experience or accidents, it depends on who’s talking 😂
Thank you for showing your farm again, I came a big fan of your UA-cam

Hi I am new to your channel. So educational. Thank you for teaching us. I've always wondered what goes on on a farm. You are blessed with a great farm.
So impressive! Nice to see what actually goes on all day on a farm. So much HARD work, I'd never make it lol!!! great job!
Gotta love all the people with good advice... this kid can do more than most adults I know.

Greetings from Serbia 👋
Your knowledge of crop husbandry is impressive Eric
Great video! Seems kind of funny that we just changed the oil in our feed mixer tractor and so did you. Everybody must be doing spring maintenance around this time of the year
Another good video Eric, Love that chocolate milk!!! Good job!
You were like melenial farmer with that filter!
the only 2 people i know that have put on a new oil filter in the whole world, they are so alike it's amazing
Eric you are a rockstar nice green tractor
Great vid. I like the way you explain things so clearly. Removing old oil filters can be a bi***. Please stay safe.
I love that view from the silo 😊
I can handle doing anything on a farm but going in silos or having to climb them. Afraid of heights and confined spaces. You are awesome flying up the silo steps and climbing inside. Be safe- and thanks for the great video !
Yeah I unfortunately am in that club as well. When I was younger it was no problem but as I grew older it became more and more difficult.
I see I click, always a entertaining, informative video about your daily life.
Thank you Eric! I’m very inspired to go out and grow some food for my family!
Love the video it's either the milk inspector or the milk man that gives you something 👌🏻
Yeah , I had him give me something one time
Good evening, always a pleasure to view the wonderful content you put together for your followers. Very very interesting to watch your daily activities. Makes one wonder how you relax and goof off when you get time. Stay safe and get busy. Lol
We needed a new video! Thank you!
great video, hope that your all doing well there, be safe
Awesome how you guys still use silos. I love them and everyone seems to hate them. But to each his own I guess. I like when I just flip a switch to feed :D
Keep up the good work man. Love ur vids ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for answering my question again about needing fertilizer in addition to the manure. Plants are greedy. :)
You're definetely a legend man!
I have an intense fear of falling. Watching you climb up that ladder nearly did me in. I think I saw you crack a smile when you saw the chocolate milk. :)
Great video Eric
I can’t imagine the debt load the farm must carry with all the equipment you have. Love your videos
I can imagine some farms have no debt load. The profit margin is less than most bank interest of 6%. Banks are making that because they think they in a risky business.
You had my subscription at Chocolate milk. You're so right brother, you need access to that goodness wherever you are!
This dude works his ass off, good job man!!
Awesome as always, my dude!!!
Your new pants is sure getting a beating.....good work young man!!
You doing great in your vlogs. 😊
I'm a old guy here in Ireland pushing with you to get that filter off. I'd love to be young again.
Wow that stuff coming out of there would go great on my garden!
Gotta love that chocolate milk. Thanks for another super video.
If you lube your o ring a little more with clean oil, the filter won’t stick on there that hard.
Love the videos, keep them going,
Watching from a hay production farm in Ohio
Love your videos
Nice view ...lets see some more. hope all is well in your neck of the state..closed for the virus in Wisconsin.
enjoying your vids , you put alot of effert into them
Good job boy!
Wix filters are the best. Just found your channel and I subscribed.
The seal always goes into the groove on filters. The reason the seal was on the tractor is because it was stuck. Happens alot on heavy equipment. Good luck and keep the videos coming

We should help this guy get a camera light. Love these vids
No has yet answered me. Doe chocolate milk come from brown cows! :-p Great job Eric and Dennis. Thank you for providing for America.
Great vids 👍
Great content as always! Thanks for posting this. Hopefully you and your dad got that silo cleaned out today. Be well and stay safe.
Thanks yeah got it cleaned out today
