One of my favorite sounds on the farm…happy cows chewing their cud! Clover is a favorite of our cows to! Great job on moving your round bales. As you move your square bales in, you might be able to stack another round on top of your round bales and against your square bails! Just a thought…helps protect all of your hay, especially with the drought conditions the western states have experienced, and limited hay supply this coming year for you folks!
Pastures look Great! Mowing was definitely beneficial. This was your first time housing the round bales, then to loose a significant quantity of your crop to issues beyond your control well then having to buy square bales. You can't cover all the "what if's". You did good. Also I've told you about my rattle snake problems and how the barn cats put a significant dent in that issue. Protect your cats...they are definitely a valued ranch hands. Good post.
you need to fix that ceiling part you have to go under one day you will forget to duck and boom headache from you know where please be careful hugsssssss
Thanks Tyler I didn't know an 8n could reach 4 high in a stack the old girl dose good for $2500 lol just as good as a $25000 35000 or 45000 dollar tractor. O and as I read the other comments! Do you know if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump its butt all time time lmao
Should put those bales outside tight face to face in a line, then you only really have to worry about the two ends spoiling. Great video, greetings from Ontario Canada.
You can buy newly refurbished antique tractors like these for less than the down payment on one of those new shiny painted modern tractors. And they have lots of life left.
I’ve been a licensed pesticide applicator (for turf) most of the time since 1981. I agree there are good reasons to not spray your entire pasture but 2,4-D does not kill clover. Your mix would have to include Dicamba, or any of a couple other newer chemicals to take out the clover. 2,4-D as a standalone chemical is quite cheap. If you spray any herbicides be sure to add a spreader-sticker to make the most of your application. I really enjoy your channel.
Impressed with the 8 n. I guess the wheel weights make the difference. My experience with older Ford tractors too light for loader work. Had 601 and 801 with loaders and tires were loaded and still light in the rear.
Tyler, I love the videos. I always learn something and you are such a positive person. I love starting my day watching you start yours, or watching you finish up your day as you take us all along, thank you. The field looked beautiful so green and it looked thick and soft, fluffy kind of. Have a great rest of your week.
@@farmertylerranch4399 Tyler your very welcome. If more people in this country or world were more like you the world would be a much better place.

@@sandib4234 I just love seeing Buddy the bottle calf. He is so sweet and cute. I think Tyler should sell shirts with a picture of bottle calf! What do you think?
Lots a holes in that tin roof, some Flex Seal would be good. I know it’s not as much an issue with round bales, but still. I would think the dryer the better. Love that old tractor
Beautiful video Farmer Tyler ! You stocked the round bales really nice and the tractor performed well. Your pasture grew well since you cut down those weeds. Lastly, you have a beautiful herd of well-kept cattle...so very content, too ! :)
Farmer Tyler Ranch always gets me excited to see how healthy is cows are very healthy thank you for that and we appreciate you sharing God bless you and your family
Awesome video, took us through the day: Morning: moving round bales Afternoon: moving cattle, checking pasture Evening: manure spreader rebuild It’s a busy life, but it’s a good life
I don't think you have to worry about rain on those bales of hay . The state of California is in a record drought. It might not rain for a long time. When was the last time you had a measurable rain. I'm interested. Good luck 👍
I must say that I am mighty proud of the 8N, after all us “Old” gals have to stand together😍. You did a marvelous job refurbishing and retrofitting for the round bales. You certainly put her to the test with the hay moving job. Had to chuckle at the cows eating the two bales in the corner…..it is not like the cows didn’t have anything to eat..or no wonder your cows look all slick and happy. I think that knocking those weeds down simply for pink eye control is well worth the effort, besides it does make the pasture look almost pristine. Hope that you are proud of the all the work you have accomplished this year with some pretty adverse occurrences. I was also, again, admiring your new pipe fence in the background of the video. Great job Tyler.
How did the center pivot look on that tractor? I didn't hear you comment on that in the earlier axle refurbishing video. Also, it looks like on the side bay with the low siding, you might sneak 2 more bales onto the stack from the main bay, if important.
Good Luck! You’ve along day moving bales! Mice 🐁! Cats 🐱! For Mice 🐁! Dead Combination! The Tractor was really good today! The Horse loved the cool down! Moving Day for the Cows! Happy Cows 🐄! Cows are grateful! Fresh Grass! Hello, Callie! Great Job! Great Video! Thank-you!
I am thinking about purchasing an 8n with the loader and other attachments and having a tough time because half tell me not to learn on this kind of tractor and the other half tell me I’ll make my money back just using it a few times. Anyone have any suggestions for somebody that is completely new to using tractors…
Thanks for the video. I like how you work with the cats on rodent control. Cali is doing better with the cows and your mowed pasture looks great. Always enjoy your videos
Dumb city boy question...what is the issue with the rodents in the hay? Contamination from droppings? Surely not hay consumption? Disease? Probably good that I'm not a farmer or we might starve to death.
Great you are getting everything back together. I pray you continue with the contents that you got started with the family and animals growing up on your farm and all the good work you have doned
need to make a weight box on the back 3pnt with a "bed / sides ) to put your stuff in. as a kid we fed lots of square bales of hay and had an old black mama cat (Dad had even hit her with the sickle mower, she lived but lost a couple of toes) once saw her with a mouse in her mouth, one under Each front paw and REALY wanting to go after MORE. cant beat a good mouser!! even old hay beats a snow drift the mowed grass makes a mulch to hold moisture even if the cattle don't eat it> what's the heat like this year
Thx as always! Glad to see the bale spear work! I will have to do a follow up for my students and show it being tested under loads, since we watched you build it! Take care !
ok now I have heard you complain about the rodent problem 1 cat with kittens will not solve the problem you must have at least 6 female barn cats. 1 cat cat can only eat 1 mouse a day. if you dont get ahead of this problem they will multiple at a very rapid rate and they bring in diseases. Why is this an issue. I believe they wont eat the pigs. They are harmles. The pound has lots of barn cats or a sign out front will get cats brought to you. They will need water and a small amout of cat food also. Please get some cats. Rats especially are full of diseases. You already lost cows with some disease. Sorry to be so pushy but for some reason you will not address the issue. All farmers rely of barn cats to keep their barns clean and disease free. Watch your site all the time. great farmer and kind to your animals. Thanks Bunny
Just be careful you don't take one of them round bales and roll it down the lift arms of the loader like my ex-boss did with his tractor he was using a loader bucket instead of a spear and he just about got smashed but he jumped off anytime but he lost it steering wheel the steering assembly
I'm fairly new to the channel and I was trying to figure out what days you post a video? I saw one last week and I've been watching your older ones and it said Tuesdays and Fridays but I only saw one last week
stack your hay 4 to 6 inches to help keep rodents out of your hay and prevent mold. when it's 6 inches apart it ventilated better and keeps cool to prevent mice from nesting and the cats have better chance of getting the mice.
How does the hydraulics drive on that tractor. My uncle used to have an 8n with a trip loader but the pump ran off the pto. So everytime you pushed in the clutch, the hydraulics would quit. We used to have to get a bucket full and the put it in neutral and let out the clutch to raise the bucket then clutch again to put it in reverse.
Age isn't as much of an issue as the weight. It's probably good that you have all those wheel weights on there. Also, the low horsepower of those old engines makes them pretty heat resistant. One thing to look for is keep that front end and steering lubed, tight, and inspected for wear. It's not designed for heavy duty loader work. I had a relative buy one with a loader on it and the front end and steering were all extremely worn. Even the steering gearbox needed a rebuild badly.
Ooooh buddy you can’t have ur nice ice chest full of beer sittin on the engine getting warm! You need to build a 3 point attachment basket for your cooler haha
I have put up sudex hay and had few mice but when you bale !ate and get seed heads you get more . What to start selling mice to labs put up oat hay. Never again.
His has the auxiliary pump driven off the crank for a self contained basically live hydraulic loader. I dont know if you know much about the older ford n series but they dont create alot of hydraulic pressure or flow so the loaders that run off the tractor hydraulics arnt the best but they do work
I am impressed with the old Ford how well it preformed! I was surprised at how the rodents damage was in the stacks! Callie keeps growing, what a cutie! The cut pasture look great!
Hi I am in scotland mowing it a big yes for me , i graze sheep and cattle the benifits are helps control weeds , the bigest benifit is that it gets grass back under control ups the feed quality and cuts away the poor rank long grasses , the breeding ewe flock is approching the breeding season and need better feed quality to help them prepare for mating and winter, Topping / mowing does this , it sounds mae i no to cut and wast grass , but ask your self is it wast ? NO it breaks down in to organic matter feeding the soils and the soil bacteria and worms and is in my mind very benifical ,
@@farmertylerranch4399 Good to get a sense of that before I get my loader mounted. Though, I am betting I am not looking at anything that heavy with the goats. Thanks!!
Tyler , here in south central texas . I like to shred for all the same reasons and our cattle do eat better then half the clippings. I cut few days before i rotate them off .we hardly ever get grass to tall to cause eye abrasions keep up the good work
In my area you can by a used tube tire fork lift for about the price of two ford spindles and if you are going stack bale's you are going to need spindles and front axle knees. I always had pikeye trouble when I cheaped out on mineral.
Thank you for subscribing James. Typically I don’t buy any hay because I raise my own but this year a fire took out half my crop so buying was necessary
Hi Tyler really enjoy your videos, I was wondering how your tractor back tires don’t come off the ground when you lift a bale I notice the arms are long you have no weight on the back how is that?
Tyler maybe try to leave some space between the bales for the cats. Somehow The mice have to drink water so figure out where they are getting their water. Try high pitched noise repellers they work
Good job. Looked like the girls were as happy as could be munching away.

Love the humor Farmer Tyler😂🐀🐈⬛
bait as in poison ? wont that kill the cats if they eat the mice ?
Cell phones have an app if you take a picture of any plant it will tell you what it is
Should put those bales outside tight face to face in a line, then you only really have to worry about the two ends spoiling. Great video, greetings from Ontario Canada.
I agree with this. You dont want the sides of the bales touching, only the ends.
Love the video!..Thank you for sharing.
Isn’t it amazing that the 70 year old machines are still getting it done ? That tractor only was about 800$ new. 45,000$ today.
You can buy newly refurbished antique tractors like these for less than the down payment on one of those new shiny painted modern tractors. And they have lots of life left.
Mowing pasture works for me in SC Missouri. Not one case of pinkeye this summer when it was really bad down here.

Also need to get some abrasion guard on those hoses near your face. If they bust will save you injuries and spray from hot oil.
Good idea

If you bate (poison) the mice and rats won’t that kill the cats if they eat them before they digest the bate and die?
Good evening Happy Labor Day everybody .
I feel like my tractor would stand up on end if I picked bails
Get a couple of 'tin cat' traps. set the openings near walls/bale corners where the rodents like to travel.
Do you have magnesium lick tubs for your cows?

The bait traps are good but they poison the rats and the cats can eat those rats and poison them too. Just a FYI.
The old girl did good with all those bales. May not look like she did back in the day but so what, gets the job the done.
Not worth moving all those bales again... throw a tarp over them.

Yes they are
@@farmertylerranch4399 Good to get a sense of that before I get my loader mounted. Though, I am betting I am not looking at anything that heavy with the goats. Thanks!!

Has to be a bear to steer that 8n with all that weight on the front.
FTR, cattle are looking very well.

Was a bit surprised with no rear counter weights the tractor did not tip forward with round bale load.
Hay lasts longer kept dry we house all of our hay also
If a 8n can't do it, it can't be done.
you built a nice tractor,, thanks
In my area you can by a used tube tire fork lift for about the price of two ford spindles and if you are going stack bale's you are going to need spindles and front axle knees. I always had pikeye trouble when I cheaped out on mineral.
Possible to wrap them up?
Always a good vidjeo
You should put outside bale's rowed up end to end
Hello I subscribed. I agree cutting the pasture is important. You buy all your hay? Have a great day

Hi Tyler really enjoy your videos, I was wondering how your tractor back tires don’t come off the ground when you lift a bale I notice the arms are long you have no weight on the back how is that?
The tires are loaded plus wheel weights. If you go back and find the video where I put the new tires on I go more in depth on how that’s all done
What do the bales weigh? We have a couple 8n fords we use for raking, handy little units.
These are about 600 lbs. it picks them up no problem
Tyler maybe try to leave some space between the bales for the cats. Somehow
The mice have to drink water so figure out where they are getting their water. Try high pitched noise repellers they work
Looks like a lot of nail holes in that roof.
