Emptying A Grain Bin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 кві 2019
- After hauling corn for a few days, the Sukup 20,000 bushel grain bin is empty! We decided we'll clean both bins out in one go, so I kept right on hauling out of the Sioux bin.

How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a UA-cam channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
The time lapse of the power sweep was amazing to watch, thanks for that.
I used to teach Tractor trailer driving.... you are doing much better than you started Ryan.... Glad to see you enjoying what your doing... Nice Alley dock backing
Your first 40 loads has made you much more confident and it shows. Looks like you will finish in time to do field and planting work. Good luck with dry weather and fields to get the crops in. I hope the trade deals kick up all farm prices for a great year. Thanks for bringing us along. Sure is beautiful back home.
Ryan, it still breaks my heart seeing those precious folks in the Missouri and Mississippi River valleys still under water in some areas! So proud of you guys for being a touching heart to those great folks with the money/donations you received! May God reward you 10 fold for lending a helping hand! Keep practicing on the shifting! You'll get it down pat sooner or later! Another amazing video! God bless you and your family!
Live here in mid Michigan and the farmer I work for hasn’t even started. Hope you have better luck. Stay safe and have fun. Thanks for sharing.
great video Ryan. You are pretty smooth now on the shifting. You can't beat the fuller transmission. I drove for a lot of years with that transmission.
Hi Ryan I used to live in Cuba City and watching you driving down the road and I see familiar stuff the brings back a lot of memories doing a good job thanks
Your doing a great job floating the gears you come a way and great vlog
If you want a better reading on the gauges only set the tractor or trailer brakes. If they are both set you are compressing the bags and won't get a spot on reading on them.
Yep, that’s what I’ve been doing
Nice job Ryan, practice makes perfect you're a quick learner by the looks of it 👍
Great video Ryan!!!! Thank you for your channel and videos.
Looking good! I use to train new drivers and you're shifting better than half of my students did after going through school and spending 4 weeks on the truck with me.
Looks like you ate getting the hang of it pretty good. Thanks for the video!
Great video, interesting to see the sweep working, good to see big red running well
Thx for sharing this with us. 1 Advice: put some big iron pieces around your fueltanks and unloading place of the bins. There will be come a moment you'll hit them...
Down by me some concrete companies will give away wash out blocks they make.
It's crazy to see how your confidence has changed driving the truck from the beginning till now. How much has this helped not having to wait on other drivers and to do things on their times?
Good video Ryan. I had been wanting to see the complete proceess!
I recognize a lot of that area thanks to the farm day. Awesome to see big red doing its job!
You are doing well Ryan the more you do it the more you learn it will become natural eventually , be safe out there Ryan
Thanks for the ride along Ryan.
Gettin' good at floatin' gears.
New to the channel. Great video. So satisfying watching it dump out of the bottom. It goes really quick considering you work what 7 months to get it to that point maybe more. God bless.
Very cool video. Really enjoy the trucking camera angles and the unload process.
I did the cross country driving thing for a year, the most valuable trick I learned was to not let the RPM's get to high before changing gears. Hope this helps.
I was waiting to hear him blast the air horn .... never happened. Maybe on the next video ??
Great video , all in all. Thanks you.
Did I hear that right?! “I love this transmission” for a guy who hadn’t touched a manual transmission vehicle ever just last fall when you picked this truck up you sure have come a long way. Awesome job Ryan! Really happy to see the truck up and running and of course watching your videos. You definitely do add horsepower to the truck when you know how to shift lool. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the ride along. It looks like you are getting the hang of shifting gears.
Good driving and good job backing up Ryan
Your doing a great job driving and shift, good job loading to,,if you can get an axle weight it will help give you a better idea of much more you can load.
Great video !
Really beautiful work. You're not just a farmer, your a truckdriver aswell. Looking very nice.
Great video Ryan!!!! You are shifting much smoother and i can see the farm manager approves :)
Great video Ryan and look forward to your next installment of how farms work. Hope Jamie is ok don’t see much of her on your channel. Anyhow love you guys . Thanks again farm safe be safe
I drive an old Ford bucket truck with air brakes for a friend because he can't find anyone willing to even be a grunt for $250 a day much less try and learn anything. I love driving this top heavy worn out synchros hit my head on the ceiling bare bones machine especially for $175 for an hour of my time. So sad that I can't even give away tools to young people today, at least not where I currently live. Great job BTW and I'm glad your channel found me.
Love the video Ryan keep on trucking and be safe .
Don't forget to hold your breath when you're crossing the big bridge.
Thanks for another fine video!
Brilliant...i am so relaxed after watching this...best way to disconnect from the world.
Hiii I'm new to your channel...honestly enjoyed this video it was sooo satisfying 😂😂
Looks like those hopper doors are giving you a tough time! I had the same problem and replaced the bearings the door slides on. Might be worth giving a shot!
Probably shot & he was using the direct drive.. Not the easy crank
If he carries fertilizer in them, then bearings don't seem to last.
Ryan set you're trailer brakes only when loading the front hopper. I'm going off memory but my old Freightliner was 58 on front hopper an than when loaded it was 68 at 80,000. You're trailer beings it's Wilson should be 66-67 for 80,000= 34,000 on trailer axles... Take this for what it's worth when shifting I noticed you are hitting the fuel peddle hard on the shifts cause I could hear it hit hard in the transmission ease into so you don't have such a hard shock load on the drive line things will last longer even though you have the M11 in the truck them super 10's aren't a very tuff trany
Great footage dude!
I liked your gran sistom video and your gran handling video thanks for showing use.😁😁
Great vid Ryan thanks...
Awesome video have a good nite
I built grain trailers at Wilson in SD. Glad to see them put to work. I can tell what plant they were made at by the sticker on the back.
That is sweet how fast you can unload you need to come show some of the truckers where I work how
Good going sod buster take it easy you are doing just fine
Great job backing
thanks for sharing the video
This is a very well produced video. Very interesting also.
Way to use those mirrors, Ryan! You are doing great behind the wheel!
Great job you never disappoint me
Nice job man keep up the good work
You are lucky in a way Ryan to start out with the "super 10" as your first transmission. Having started on the standard 9, 10 and 13 speed patterns i absolutely hated the super 10 when i had to drive the one we had in the fleet. It was tough to make the change. Your getting pretty good!
Hey he listened. Bought a Tempte handle that will work on any trailer!!
Tractor sounds g o o d!
Here in CT, we have had 8 days of rain and the forecast is rain thru the rest of the week.....grrrr outside work is backing up like a plugged drain. Feel for ya since you have to soon start planting but you field are probably straight mud.
Yup, Middletown, Ct here, been pretty wet. Have to dry the dog off every time he comes in, pain in the ...
Volvo ishift, and veb is a priceless combo! never use my regular brakes that much
Hi Ryan. Your truck and trailer combo is a good looking outfit. Some one commented that you need to let up a little on the gas pedal when shifting so it doesn't bang so much but I would definitely be checking to see if the jaws on the fifth wheel are tight. Its common for older trucks to have slop in the fifth wheel but the jaws are adjustable. Just something to check.
Thanks for the great video
At least we know you're doing the hard work to open the tarp and hoppers on the truck... Zach MNMF has it easy with his electric tarps and hoppers!
Dear sir very nice driving skill [ in back driving ] and your videos are always very nice .
Ryan, maybe you could add a bit of grease or something to those grain doors on the bottom of the trailer? It looks like they are very hard to open and close.
glad to see you're getting the hang of that freight shaker or in this case grain shaker
I find this show inspiring
Very nice feature-length video, Ryan. Thanks for taking us with you through the whole process. Think back a year or two ago and how your grain was handled at that time. Look how much it has changed! Six short (well, *winter* ) months, and now Big Red is fully operational and serving your needs. One silly question: if the tractor lacks a Jake brake, what do you do in an emergency stopping situation? Nice job, man.
I'm not a truck driver but I'll take a shot at it.
Option 1: Downshift
Option 2: Press brake pedal.
Option 3: Jump out.
@@jbbuzzable All good things to do until you get to Option 3.
Most of the time the response will be, STAB the brakes, downshift, STAB the brakes again. Repeat until stopped. If it's more of a "I have to stop or run over a bus load of kids", Take it off the road toward a ditch/guide rail/barrier or similar and pop the emergency brake. These would be the same with a Jake, the Jake just gives you a way to control rolling speed without needing to ride the brakes.
3rd!!!
Wolf creek pass way up on the Great Divide, bring it on down the other side.
The vid is great truck looks good
I know I am going to catch all sort of HE double toothpicks for saying this but I love the Super 10 in our Volvo. I know I know but I am old and I love it. And Ryan you will never stop learning, you have come as many have said a long way!!! And please stop sending your rain down to us at least for a little while tell it to stop at Illinois no further east!!! Saw the animals paired off in twos heading south on I 65. LOL
Good job with big red! #WorldsOkayestFarmer
I dont dont know why but this videos are the best from this channel. But other are very good to.
You got that trucking down pretty good
Are you seeing the results of the benefits of trucking your goods yourself yet Ryan. Have you given Jamie a ride in the truck yet? Hope all is well. Great video Ryan thanks again my friend take care be safe.
With all the work you put in the truck and trailer, treat yourself, put on an electric tarp!! You have a very nice first semi 👍
Also, lubricate those traps!! I got a hernia watching you!
Yaaay Ryan learned to float
Back breaking door slides or dollies they are the only thing that I probably greased to much - well done it's great to watch someone who loves what they do! Still wondering who does the drone footage and what kind are you using?
For some reason I kept sneezing when watching it unload into the pit.
You are doing a GREAT JOB trucking man, if you can back that trailer in there without pulling forward and then back a couple of time, you can DRIVE TRUCK
Years if of backing up farm equipment helps. After that he only has to get used to the length of the trailer.
Great job on the fund raising!
Great farm
I don’t know about there but not in most states! It saves on your tarp the less you roll n unroll! Just wondering you should check on that!
I'll ask someone the next time I'm through the weigh station
Re driving Big Red: When did you get your CDL? Was it hard? What did you have to do? Was there a test on air brake systems? Was it just a written test or did you have a road test too?
You're getting really good at shifting Ryan keep it up. Are you hauling to Dubuque Iowa??? Because I live in Washington Iowa.
Excellent
Great video "Trucker Man" :)
Yea that's too hard to crank. Time to look at bearing and gunk in there. I was straining watching you
Looks like fun. I might have missed it, did you say how many loads you could deliver in a typical day?
Great video, Ryan! It's relieving to know that we're not the only ones who have to actually get out of the truck to unroll the tarp! How close would you guess that you guys are to planting?
Treyton could be a week, could be two. All depends on the weather
@@HowFarmsWork Absolutely. We're from Central IL and were fortunate enough to get about a fourth of our acres planted. It's rained about every day this week.
wow Dubuque Iowa.There to bad there any place closer to in wisconsin.Or Iowa giving you best brice
You should get you one of those electric impact wrenches and do away with that manual cranking
Lazynub was about to say the same thing. A 1/2” drive Milwaukee or Dewalt would have no prob.
It takes a lot of torque to move those doors, most of the cordless tools won't do it. I use them a lot and they are nice tools but not for this use. Plus you really don't want the open brushes and sparks around the dust from a grain bin. Bad things happen fast.
I was thinking the same thing I don't think them cordless impact wrenches will have enough torque to open them doors but I would definitely check in to put motors on them that would do it and then all you do is flick a switch
Ernest Dougherty these new cordless 1/2” impacts run all the way up to 1100 foot pounds for Milwaukee
That is the instant torque rating, when the hammer first hits and not constant torque. Great to break loose bolts and tighten them but a constant strain kills them real quick.
You look to have floating the gears down pat!
I know it’s not a huge thing but if you went out and got one of the cordless m18 Milwaukee 1/2” impact with over 1000 ft lbs or torque it would save you on your unloading time and it’s just nice to have around the farm anyways!
After truck and try is paid off ,next thing to buy is a used dump trailer( aka coal bucket). So you can run between field and bin with big red, used coal buckets are about the cost of 2 gravity wagon
I think the auger they have will fit under the hopper doors. The trick is getting it out to the fields without getting stuck !!
Very good
Nice backing job. Too bad you cannot drive around the bins to load
You just look more comfortable driving then you did before
Any info as to reductions in supply because of the flooding?
scale limit? Sounded like the scale might top out at 75,400. Might be that you are just giving away extra grain?
Before ya know it, you'll be a full fledged Trailer-Trucker trashing around the truck stops! 😂😂
Lol just watch out for them lot lizards lol
You need the electric gate opener for that trailer. It will save your back in the long run.
