Happy New Year!/Feeding Fermented Round Bales/New LED Tractor Headlights
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 гру 2023
- As 2023 comes to an end, we want to wish our viewers a wonderful new year ahead. After a week of wet weather, the cows were eager to get outside and stretch their legs. Before they can go out, the bale feeders need to be refilled with baleage. Baleage is a fermented round bale of hay. Alan uses the Gehl 4625 skid steer to haul out the heavy bales. Later, Alan replaced the dim and burnt-out lights on the 830 Case tractor with some new LED bulbs he found on Amazon. The new bulbs seem to be a huge improvement.

Trinity Dairy was established in 2006, in Minnesota. Alan and Jennifer farm with their 5 children; Jessica, Justin, Jordan, Joshua, and Jason. We milk a mix of 33 Jersey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire cattle. We also enjoy sharing our family's love of Draft Horses and using them for logging and other farm work. Dairy Farming in Minnesota can be challenging, but it's a lifestyle we really enjoy. Subscribe today to watch our small family dairy farm and family grow while continuing to thank our Lord for the blessings we've been given.
I have learned so much about family dairy farming by watching your videos for the past two+ years! It seems you work 24/7/365! In good weather and bad, with equipment and tools that sometimes work and sometime fall apart. You pay attention to the condition of the soil and crops, the nutrition in the feed, the health and comfort of the cows. Now when I go to the store and pick up a gallon of milk, a package or two of cheese and some sour cream, I think of your family and the cows. HAVE A BLESSED AND SAFE NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year to you and the family and may the Lord bless your efforts in the coming year.
Work in a dairy farm never ends thank God for family have a blessed and healthy new year
Thanks for the great videos this year. Our best wishes to all of you for a great, happy, and healthy 2024. Be blessed.
Continue dairy farming !
I just read some sad statistics about dairy farming in MN.
In just one month,,,,,,NOVEMBER OF 23..........58 dairy farms in MN went out of business.
In the year 2023 ,160 dairy farmers went out of business.
I retired and sold my herd in 2007 at age 62.
In 2010, 4 years after I retired there were over 4,000 dairy farms in MN
Today that number dropped to 1,825
Watching your video is an inspiration !
It's very sad! We will hang in there as long as we can!
I think you made the right choice on those LEDs. Happy New Year to all on Trinity Dairy
Those LED lights will improve your productivity since you will now be able to work 4 or 8 hours extra each night.
I hope you and your family had a great Christmas holiday and God bless you all
Happy New Year everybody!
What you need is one of those light bars across the top of the windshield
Thank you, if it were not for folks like you doing this type of work we would not survive! Lord bless you and keep you safe and Happy New Year! 🙏👍👏🎉🐄
Thank you for your thanks. I'm similar sized small dairy in NY. Usually all I hear is ppl complaining about cost of milk, butter, cheese, etc. But then they go get in their $60k SUV and go home to 72" smart tv
Great video Alan
Excellent video again enjoyed very much thanks for sharing a Happy New Year to you and your family
So great to see the cows and the new calf jess got
The newer lights are so much better like years ago. The regular headlights stunk couldn’t see good at night and everything and then I went to halogen now they got different Lights that are brighter things LEDs in the so long and so forth good move. 20:57
Happy New Years to You and your Family's
The last frame in this video reminded me all the sudden of the movie "a Christmas story"
That being said just remember folks you are rich in so many ways!!!
Awesome love it buddy I need ti get my lights working on my tractor great job great video
Happy new years to you, family and friends
Happy New Year. God bless. The lights you put on your tractor look like they should work really good
When you put in LED bulbs, smother the connections in dielectric grease. This will prevent the terminals from corroding. The slightest bit can kill the circuit boards. It's not the diodes that produce the light that fail. Have a very safe and blessed new year.
Yeah the old green death isn't a friend of electronics.
Watching one of your boys plow snow at the end was priceless.....reminded me of my childhood.... keep up the good work, your doing it right!
Happy new year to all at trinity dairy
Happy New Year thanks for all the awesome content in 2023, and im looking forward to all awesome content for 2024, God Bless you and your family
The cows must have liked the baleage, they weren't so hungry for the corn.

at 1:00............."frost came out"
I saw a picture of a farmer near Bowlus MN plowing.
Sandy ground near Bowlus so my guess he did it to set a record.............plowing in MN in late December.
Great video A J Happy New Year Alan Jennifer and kids
Quite an improvement in lighting with the LED bulbs. No shortage of daily chores to keep the cattle well-cared for. Interesting details on the baleage. Happy New Year to all of the family. May you have a safe and blessed year!!!
Point those leds off to the side put a 12 led bar on the front of the cab and you'll dang near be able to see into the future
Maybe not that far in the future, but maybe to the middle of next week! You may get that if you are from the South. 👍😂
Nice cows great video
One thing you can't call a dairy farmer is lazy. Thank you for pulling them teets got milk 🤣😂🇺🇸🦅🚜🐄👍

Happy new year my friends
Happy New Year! Hope everything is going well for you!
1st day of the year so good so far lol..
The LED lights looked like a great investment. Enjoy your videos
Happy new year.
Sure hope the new lights last you a long time. The LED's can be very bright. We put a 100 watt equivalent in our yard lights and you can definitely tell that they are on, just hope the neighbors aren't bothered by them. What a difference from last winter. Hope all goes well and you all stay healthy. May God Bless You in the coming year.
Happy New Year's to you and your family. Hopefully next year will give you a break from some of the challenges you faced in the last year.
Happy New Years to your whole family and a good farming year of 2024
Those Par36 are used in so many things they have become very economical and LED is one of the few things that makes old equipment better. Although to be fair, if they made better quality wnd efficient incandescent lights, but because of history, so we don't have that option.
A One thing that I hate about LEDs is looking at them in a farm store. The companies are getting those things from China anyway they're not making them in the US or Canada or even Mexico so they're not paying anyone even somewhat locally to make them. But they sure are proud of them and the packaging that gets wrapped around them because they'll charge twice or three times as much for the same product that like you said you can get off of Amazon.
And I just don't know who is buying that and why they don't buy them on Amazon or eBay or something for cheaper. It's pretty easy though upgrade and equipment throw a new lights.
One hard size to find is I think they're par 56s for our Ford 3000.
And probably was a common size back in the day and it could give more light cuz it's a bigger bulb that was incandescent but finding a decent LED has been hard.
And even the cheap ones they want a decent penny for those. But the difference it makes not to mention you can add more lights cuz your draw is so much less If you wanted to double your lights you could and you're still not going to draw what you wear with those handful of incandescence so your alternator is happy.
But we we put those on my dad's 4400 combine and it was almost like a fancy new combine with how bright the lights were compared to the old ones.
I would still like to put some more on it because it just doesn't have that that many lights.
I guess kind of went on rant here and that's how I feel about LEDs😂.
Great episode Happy New Year and hopefully we have good growing season in 2024.
Happy New Year and. God Bless. Have a Wonderful 2024
Have a Blessed New Year to you and your family ❤
Happy New year everybody from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Like yer new lights. Happy/Blessed New Year. May 2024 be prosperous for you ☺️👍
baleage........I would think it is better for the cows vs CHOPPED haylage as it is long stemmed hay.
Also, baleage makes the hay more palatable vs the same dry baled hay.
I wish I had a wrapper when I was dairy farming.
Happy New Year! Winter is going to be short now, only about 100 days to go. That 830 should be good for another 60 years. Those tank heaters really do the job in cold weather.
Thanks for a great video and hope you and the family had a great Christmas. Wish you as well for a great new year with lots of happiness and good health.
Have a great new year! Hope 2024 is a blest and good year.
Good content as usual
Awesome video .Happy New Year
Always enjoy watching your channel God bless and here's to a prosperous and safe new year!
Happy new year to you and your family and be safe and God bless
You will love the LED's, especially up high. And I could almost smell the baleage when you fed it, it looks great. Happy New Year to you and your family, and may milk prices go up for y'all! 🐄🍻
Happy New Year to you and Family and cant wait to see more videos in 24. Love the content and seeing the happy cows!!! God Bless
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS
I wanted to hate LEDs, I love LEDs! Happy New Year guys!
This was our first year making balage the only problem with it is that we should have been making it 30 years ago
Happy New Year!!! GOD bless!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
WOW Nice, LED WORK 👏👏👏🌝,Thanks (N.G Indiana) 19:30
Have a Blessed and Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas and happy new year Trinity Dairy. This wet weather is not good for animals and alfalfa or winter wheat, never mind the holes in my rubber boots 😅 we have had lots of flooding here in Ontario. I think snow would have been better. It looks like somebody stole all the cobs out of the corn cribs, they look empty. You must have more energy than me Alan, if it gets dark enough for lights then I call it quits, tomorrow is another day. Hope you keep making videos in 2024, thanks again and take care.🇨🇦👍🚜❤️
Happy New Year to all of you.!
Happy new year Alan and to your family. GOD bless .
Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉
Happy New year to you all and God bless
Very good job and God bless y'all and happy new years
Happy New year's To everyone

It's been a wet muddy mess in northern Pa. I very glad I have a concrete barnyard. Still fair amount of corn out . Guys including myself waiting till freeze s up. Hopefully doesn't snow first
Best wishes for the coming year!

❤ HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM LE SUEUR MN ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Hi guys, happy new year.Weather looks nice over here if we got a skid off gravel or concrete we would need a sling ( to pull it out) . If we decided to let the ladies out we would have to issue life vests and waders! Even the sheep are getting bogged over here.
