Right now it’s nice for us because we can take off all our first cutting but if we don’t get rain within the next week the grounds gonna be like a rock trying to get our summer forage in and growing
If we would take a few minutes and watch your videos, we would realize how hard and important your job is. May the good Lord bless you and your family!! Peace from SW Florida 🤗🤗!!!
We had a pole barn built back in the 70s. Instead of pouring concrete in the holes, they dropped in precast discs that were about 24 inches across and 6 inches thick. They called them cookies. The shed is still in use today, and it survived the derecho last year.
Your alfalfa looks a lot better than what the hay looks like in western WI. Full of dandelions and weeds. Hoping the second crop will have a lot better quality.
Our John Deere 7410 had the same hydraulic lever problem, on the back of the tractor there’s valve body’s where you can adjust your flow and there’s a cap, take it off and lube the insides up
I used to mow all our farm’s hay with a side-mounted Kosch sickle-bar mower, pulling a metal roller crimper behind a Farmall M. Mowing nice stands of alfalfa was an awe inspiring job. I just loved it, especially knowing how good it was for the cows’ milk production. We baled it rather than make silage. Thanks for prompting the memories.
Love the videos & I'm happy to see that all YOUR family's hard work is paying off, even happier to see you guys can keep expanding & upgrading equipment & barns.
This was another of your great and interesting videos. You are so fun to watch and learn from. Nice to see the new barn starting to take shape. Thanks Eric, enjoy your supper.
@10th Generation Dairyman Eric, I'm a new subscriber, I have Binged watched every video from the oldest to now, I just can't find all the right words to express how much I appreciate your humbleness, your work ethic, your respect, your "Dew" humour, your consistency, your care you take of your herds, your Faith, just so,so proud to see this generation work so hard, God continue to Bless you and your family.
I hope you salvage what you can of the barn before it gets torn down. I heard you say in a previous video that you were saving the headlockers but those extendable gates are a keeper for sure! So can't wait to see the end results!!! So excited for you!♡
Great to see you have some high quality British Columbia, Canada lumber…..…. Babine Forest Product lumber!! Likely harvested and milled in Burns Lake, British Columbia. Outstanding blog to follow…. Blessings……
Yay I get something interesting to watch tonight! Ya-hoo mt dew! I wish Eric could help me with preventive maintenance on my 79 Monte!!! I could only pay him with mt. dew and sunflower seeds. Maybe chocolate milk too. Yay 😎🐮🐮🐮🐮
Great video. I Thank You All For What You All Do For This World. I'm getting very interested in dairy farming so I was looking for a channel to try to learn more so we'll see how it goes. I'm subscribed and will be watching. Be Safe and Have Fun. Thank You.
I had a hydraulic valve get bound up like that. It got worse and worse until it wouldn't work at all anymore. I took the valve to a heavy equipment mechanic and he cleaned it and put new o-rings in it. It worked great after he finally got the right o-rings in it.
I watch your videos quite a while now, i really like your work. We were Farming till 99 and a awful lot smaller than your Farm. We had 50 cows in total, 36 milkcows. Greetings from Germany
Good video as always. Would love to see you do an interview with your employees, Ethan and the lady that helps with milking if they would do it. Would be curious to hear more from them.
As a western pa equipment mechanic I see a lot of rusted and corroded parts. If I had to bet. Your remote problem is probably a cable that the liner is starting to rust from the inside, or the spool in the valve for that function is starting to get “grabby”. Even though hydraulics are bathed in oil all the time. They don’t like to sit still. Exercising valves regularly will only help everything in the end. Both of these would explain hard at first than after some use it gets easier. Good luck man
Ain't nothing like the smell of fresh cut alfalfa.
Yup
A fresh cut of fall rye
With the price of lumber right now you should have two armed guards with AR15s around that wood.
Lol
was anyone else expecting a soda to be underneath that seed bag in the alfalfa field? lol
⁴sho!
You must be new here
With your 7220 the remote is mechanicaly driven and there could be some stuff in the box under it. You can open it up from the side and clean it.
That’s what I’m thinking as well. Either that or a corroded cable, linkage or valve block.
I’m pretty sure the remote runs on a cable system sometimes the cable stretches and makes it harder to use I ran a 6715 with the same problem
One thing to be thankful for having awesome weather here in Pennsylvania to get the crops in. Some years we have rain every other day.
Right now it’s nice for us because we can take off all our first cutting but if we don’t get rain within the next week the grounds gonna be like a rock trying to get our summer forage in and growing
I was sort of expecting there to be a can of Mt Dew or Coke under that seed bag... 😂 Missed opportunity. 😜

I'm not sure why I was recommended this video but god damn I enjoyed this 100%. Strange how watching a farmer work is so interesting.

That's awesome.
21 minutes!!! Man that's a record for me!!
Ethan is fantastic help! And he did a great job with the camera, too!
Wow another great video. 👍
Love the vid Eric I get to watch this before work wishing I could be doing that
Your alfalfa looks a lot better than what the hay looks like in western WI. Full of dandelions and weeds. Hoping the second crop will have a lot better quality.
Wow! Emily getting a little close to the poo poo! Lol great video! Thank you for the upload! You all work so hard!

I vaguely remembered Cunningham as the name of the crimper manufacturer. Just looked it up, It was a Cunningham. 😀
Great and amazing video Eric. thank you
Great video. Looking forward to seeing your new barn completed.
Another interesting day on the farm. Thanks Eric.
Excited about your New Barn! Keep the content coming. Thanks
Great video eric , i learned a lot about alfalfa from this , thanks for being a farming family
Love the videos & I'm happy to see that all YOUR family's hard work is paying off, even happier to see you guys can keep expanding & upgrading equipment & barns.

The whole setup is an amazing process love your videos
Ethan, another great cameraman! Very excited to see the alfalfa and barn progress 😆
Another productive day! Loving it.
I thought you were gonna get a soda out of that seed bag.
that is what I was waiting for too :)
Me too
Watching you ride that tractor while feeling the vibrations from the dishwasher I'm sitting next to in my feet really adds some depth to your videos.
Eric & family impress me no end !
This was another of your great and interesting videos. You are so fun to watch and learn from. Nice to see the new barn starting to take shape. Thanks Eric, enjoy your supper.
Good morning Eric. Have a dynamic day!
Nice to see Ethan again. He seems like a really hard worker.
the sound of a staring mower feels always really nice to me
That is really nice first cut alfalfa. Thanks for the video.

I remember shoveling stalls like that wish we had machines great vid0eo always
Never get tired at looking at the beautiful land. Thank you for my fresh milk, cottage cheese, creamer, yogurt love diary products
Thanks Eric another good one!👍🙏
Great to see you have some high quality British Columbia, Canada lumber…..…. Babine Forest Product lumber!! Likely harvested and milled in Burns Lake, British Columbia. Outstanding blog to follow…. Blessings……
another awesome video and well worth the wait.
thanks for the videos eric, its an inspiration to me. keep up
First cut is always so satisfying. Smells good to
Keeping the logistics scheduled and being flexible when things get disrupted surely dispels the idea some people have that anyone can be a farmer.
Nice job. Great video
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Great video as always Eric.
I can only imagine how much that wood cost at today's prices. Love watching the alfalfa get mowed. Great video can't wait for the next one.
It's up 250%.
Another very interesting day on the exemplary nice dairy farm 👍👍💯
Best u tuber. Keep it simple and no drama.
Good video, lots of interesting things going on good job
Great awesome video Eric ,
Yay I get something interesting to watch tonight! Ya-hoo mt dew! I wish Eric could help me with preventive maintenance on my 79 Monte!!! I could only pay him with mt. dew and sunflower seeds. Maybe chocolate milk too. Yay 😎🐮🐮🐮🐮
This is honestly satisfying to just watch
love the videos keep it up
Good video of the different jobs that need to be done.
What a beautiful field of alfalfa!
be glad you got your building materials, right now housing is shut down and if you do get lumber it's double the price of a month ago
Great video as always hope all is well
Another great video!
That stuff smells so good when it's cut.
You need to do a equipment tour
This is so true
@Canadian Farm Kid they've gotten quite a bit of new equipment since then plus equipment tours seem to get good views which equals more money
Good filming Ethan👌

Enjoyed the video.
Good stuff... Keep it up
Beautiful stand of alfalfa. Very weed free for first cutting. (Edit. I made this comment before finishing the video😂)
A GREAT farming video
Hi i am matthew from South Africa i watch your video and i love you guys
Goodmorning to you Eric hope all is well! Never had a upload in the morning should be nice🙂
That Lucerne is beautiful I’ve never seen anything like it
Only real 10th gen fans remember “what’s good in the hood”
Yep...lol
i remember that but i don't remember which video it was in lol

Hay looks good
Podoba mi się taka robota 😁
Amazing video I love the videos
I watch your videos quite a while now, i really like your work.
We were Farming till 99 and a awful lot smaller than your Farm.
We had 50 cows in total, 36 milkcows.
Greetings from Germany
Godbless your family’s farm work and your neighbors hand
Always good to be back on the dairy farm
Excellent feed!
Really nice looking alfalfa.
By far the best dairy farmer on UA-cam
some of that graphite you use in the seed, could help lube up those expandable gates. Thanks for the content again :)
Great vid
Check the plastic bushings on shift shafts. In the console might be the culprit. Thanks Florida Joe. Love your videos
Good video as always. Would love to see you do an interview with your employees, Ethan and the lady that helps with milking if they would do it. Would be curious to hear more from them.
For some reason I was expecting a drink to be under the seed bag in the field 😂
Those variable length(width?) livestock gates are a game changer for sorting livestock utilizing alleys.
Keep up the work man
Save the material!!!!!! That stuff is gold now as you said. Even used 2x and tin will bring good $$$. Or save and use on another project
Love the vid id love to see more about the calves
That "BABINE" lumber is produced a couple towns over from me here in BC Cool to see it way out East!
Eric I have to watch this before I go to school
Man that was 2 million dollars worth of lumber between the new lumber and lumber in the old barn you are going to tear down.
u r a good farmer dear
