Another busy day taking care of your faithful herd of lady Holsteins. It is amazing to watch how well you utilize your Kubota skid steer to do so many different tasks. I hope you have a good “back up” for it …..just in case. Looking forward to maybe another video on putting some new baby calves into that nicely cleaned barn. Thanks for always paying attention to the details. Thanks & God bless.
It is always a treat to watch Eric the Excavator at work. So nimble at the controls. Milk over soda is always best. The robot scraper does a pretty nice job. Great shot of the feed wagon dispensing the feed. Super video and thanks till next time.
I just found out I developed a moderate allergy to milk. 😭 I was miserable every time I ingested milk products. Gas, diarrhea, pain, hives. And other minor stuff. It sucks ass.
His Dad is great in that he's shown Eric how to work independently and make all the decisions he makes. That way, not only is he set for long term future but Dad can take off well earned time and have no worries since Eric can run the show.
You can really see the difference those floor scrapers do when they don't run for a short period of time, so much better when their running all the time, but sometimes things happen. Your getting that drainage area looking good, just a little more shaping and you'll have it. I wish my skid steer was running, it's an old one, but I still would like it running, maybe some day in the near future. Great video, love the detail you give, thanks for sharing, have a great night and a wonderful day tomorrow and the rest of the week.
Love watching your videos. I'd like to recommend that you get an electrician to look at that wire in between the man and overhead door in the calf barn. If he could run it through some grey PVC pipe it would make it look nicer, and also eliminates the risk of accidentally snagging it with a piece of equipment. Or if you're comfortable doing it yourself, I'd just do that. Easy enough and I bet you're more than capable of doing it.
Nice video Eric! Great progress on the water drainage. Clean, healthy calf barn thanks to Megan. Productive day on the dairy. Enjoyed the video. Well done!
It seems as though that gal Meghan works very well there for your farm, I hope she's shown the appreciation for her steady and reliable work ethics!! Hello Miss Meghan!! (Robin)
It is funny, Larson Farms in Minnesota recently bought and started using an end dump trailer like the one you are using, except it is bigger. Nice simple fix you you farmers.
Hey Eric, would it have been possible to run the top soil slowly through your spreader? Then you wouldn't have to flatten it out with the skid steer. Cheers for another great video at the perfect dinner time for me.
I was working on a waterway yesterday but it's a much bigger one, as in probably about a mile bigger. I'd say you're doing a pretty good job on the waterway you're working on though
I think that if you built a backboard for your forklift setup, you could essentially lift 3 bales easy without them dropping. I'm not sure how many you can lift before it becomes too heavy and ruins the bale on the bottom tho.
You and your dad should invest in a Self-propelled TMR SILOKING Mixer , it would save you a lot of time and headaches cause it can cut and load the silage into the hopper then all you gotta do is add the other stuff with the manitou and afterwards you can feed the Heifers with the SILOKING. By the way Greetings from a fellow Pennsylvanian , im just east of Pittsburgh.
Kubota has great power! only downside is this machine is not mechanic friendly. Every little maintenance job takes forever since the filters are hard to get too! Also, inside the cab(even the new kubota skidsteer) all have the a/c controls under the arm rest things that kubota could fix but choose to avoid! Overrall for farm work its a workhorse!
Great vids! You all are hard workers! Have you thought about doing some paid promotions? I am sure there are many companies out there that would provide things as you promoted/ advertised them! We would love to see more in depth tool/equipment analysis! 😊 Just a thought.
When you use the Hoover silage defacer start the machine low and work upwards instead of starting high and working down as you do. You'll be able to get a clean cut down low and already have the cutter up high once silage starts to pile up instead of trying to cut down into the pile of silage. I'm no farmer..just had another farmer mansplain it to me.
8:56 Do you think it would be a time saver to get a scale on your skidsteer? You would not have to feather it into mixer, and would not have to return to the pile with the surplus.
@@HoLeeFuk317 yep, but maybe a scale on the loader would still eliminate the trip back to the pile for the extra. Loader driver could still pour slowly to help it mix better
My opinion but if you guys do more dirt moving and stuff like that I’m sure it would be nice to have an extra set of rims with dirts tires on the rims so you can swap out tires to get better traction
Just learned about your channel and subbed. Got a question for you: Have you seen the Udder Gun? Do you use one (or more)? It was designed and is built by a team that competes in BattleBots, and it looked like it would be incredibly efficient and useful and safe for the cows. Just wondering what your take was on it. Keep up the great videos, and all the best to you and your family.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 thanks for your reply! The kubota is a very busy machine on your dairy. Looking forward to your next video. Ps, the robots are doing a great job on your slats

Hi am new in cow farming ,, i need help in : 1. What supplements to give cow after birth 2. What to do for a sudden excessive drop of milk in a cow? 3. Cows are not getting pregnant, despite of how many times i tried? May you please make a ved for these matters.. thx
Its a slight misnomer. Chocolate milk will have far far less added sugar, but the nutritional information cannot differentiate between fructose, sucrose, glucose or even LACTOSE. Lactose is a sugar. Milk has roughly 6% Lactose g/mL. Roughly 60g per liter. So a 2L bottle of chocolate milk might say, 22g of sugar per cup, but only 7g of that is added sugar.

That little R-Poo D-Poo does seem to get dirty, but the floor is so much better
6:50 it just really shows how well the bots do at their jobs, you can definitely see the difference
This is one super clean well organized farm.

U probably drink almond milk

Dude I can't, if I do I wake up and toss it at 3 in the morning
@@BigglesworthTheGrey try 2A milk
@@ericrudgers6816 I'll look out for it. I'm currently just using oat milk cause it tastes most similar to milk for me.
This brings back memories I had a buddy who ran a dairy farm and I would occasionally help him
I want to see a time lapse of the robot cleaning a dirty floor like it was, I think that would be satisfying.
And the Dog is somewhere bouncing like a pair of unused coilssrings lol
Backbone of the country. Thanks for you hard work on the farm and in the editing and uploading of videos
Gotta love it when 10thgen dairy dad vlogs!
Your dad is getting more comfortable in front of the camera. Tell him the city slickers on You Tube need his sage advice.

They have acquired some new employees and invest in new equipment and infrastructure. Things bode well for the farm and the family. 😊
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. I really liked the shot of the feed on the conveyer belt!
SO COOL! WHO KNEW? THANX 10th GEN.
Well done guys. Farming is a lot of work. Not just physical but planning also. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, this is well demonstrated and edited young man. Well done
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 man!!!

Very busy beavers I don't know how you keep track of what there is to do each week. Good video
Love watching you mix and feed. Can smell that corn silage!
Great job and video, Fric. thank you very much
Robot does a dang good job.
Megan seems to be a great worker, great to have! Those pins look great 😊
Nice to see your dad filming a bit. That dump trailer is a lifesaver!!!!

Always busy. Always something to do. Stay safe.
neighbors always ask why I have an excavator, skid steer, dump truck, dozer, and motorgrader , I do a lot of work at their places it seems
Somebody get Eric a good door .. 😊
Those scraper robots do a nice job it seems… enjoy your videos! 👍🇺🇸🙏
Hi Eric and dad and families excellent video I enjoy hard work you do and you all be safe and have wonderful day
Love seeing your videos. Can't wait for field work.
Great video, very good! Your producing some of the best real videos!
that’s some dang good bucket work. thanks for this! 👍

You are, without a doubt, the best skid steer driving dude on the UA-cam scene! Well done Eric.
He could totally dominate the skid steer Olympics.

Love the videos. Curious if you could use the spreader instead of the dump trailer just to get rid of the the dirt and be done with it
Love seeing good silage
Love that your dad helps you get some footage sometimes!
The robots are also like a damn laser pointer and cat with me. I just get mesmerized watching them hahaha
Can you imagine putting a Go Pro on the robot? It might make you air sick.

Do you ever drink regular milk? Or only chocolate milk? Some days I will drink up to half a gallon of milk throughout the day.
Cows look clean
Great stuff Eric you do a great job so doesn't your dad👍👍👍👍👍👍
I used to feed and do miselanious jobs in Greencastle PA
Eric your dad is like was absolutely briliiant teacher

8:56 Do you think it would be a time saver to get a scale on your skidsteer? You would not have to feather it into mixer, and would not have to return to the pile with the surplus.
There is a scale on the mixer themselves. Sometimes you poor grain in slower so it gets mixed in evenly faster

Heyy eric its matthew from South Africa i watch your video and i love you guys and hope you are good and wel ther at home
you know you should take that dirt and just put it in the manure spreader and spread it on the field above the bunker were it washed from just an idea
i really enjoy your video's! would like a longer one or more thing fast forwarded. yee, yee - more live action..
Eric are you planning on putting in a pasture with barbed wire for the next barn cows to go run around?
Yes we want to get a pasture set up

What is the brand of your calf boxes ?
Thank.
Can't even unload a semi from one side. You really need that teleskid.
Send him a check for one since you think they need it so bad. Money doesn't grow on trees!!!
Nice farm man
Great awesome video Eric. Got milk 🥛, drink more milk , go Canadian dairy’s and USA 🇺🇸 dairy’s
Awesome
How you liking new Brevanr BMR? We're still using Unified. I think we feed less starch that way. Thoughts?
I'm curious. Where do you leave all the calves when the pens are being cleansed like now?
How do you get your 2 speed working on the skid steer.
?????
is that trailer a pto driven hydraulic pump ? if so how due you control the dump valve ? Good camera angle of trailer feed conveyor.
I noticed that too
With the string shown in the video.
thx i see the string now. Clever, it lets tractors without extra hydraulic hookups dump.

Which Feed mixer is better the Old or the New one?
I'm from germany
New one is a lot better
Have you ever considered trying to make your own fresh chocolate milk?
How has inflation and fuel prices impacted your overall costs? Are you offsetting that expense with your milk costs?
Farmers do not determine what their milk price is. It's set by the government based on the current market
@@HoLeeFuk317 Thanks, that seems like it could be tough to manage for the farmer.
@Luke Swamp loggers NC said the same about logging recently.
I used to think drinking chocolate milk and soda more soda was a good thing too until I realized chocolate milk has more sugar than pop
Its a slight misnomer. Chocolate milk will have far far less added sugar, but the nutritional information cannot differentiate between fructose, sucrose, glucose or even LACTOSE. Lactose is a sugar.
