I’m looking forward to watching your silos being built . That’s going to be very cool to see . I enjoy watching your videos and my very favorite part of them is watching you and your dad working side by side, and that warms my heart . I know you do but, cherish every single moment and I personally wish you and your family, all the best . Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
I like how you keep your farm so clean. It really does make a difference in the health of the cows 🐄 🐮🐄🐮. I’ve seen other farmers with flies all over the cows and they look like they have worms 🪱 and they are treating them for scours and pinkeye and they look sickly.
Looking forward to all the silo videos. There are a lot of good ideas in the comments on improvements. Turning silage bunkers into a shop/ storage shed. Making a ramp for the skid steer or a high unloading bucket. Turning the box around on the forage wagon.
Instead of cutting down the sides of the forage box, do you have some area you can make a ramp / platform to raise your skid steer up to the proper level? Or dig a trench down to lower the box. Again, to the desired height. Love your videos! Keep up the good work.
I love my square nose shovel, have worn it down by about 40% but it fits an old man like me better now!! Own lots of round nose shovels but use them only as last resort. My #2 square nose has a very limber ash handle and is easy on your back. We have moved many a truck and trailer of materials from road base to fill dirt by hand, tractors are nice but a good shovel and a real wheel barrow never fail to start or run (I use solid tires).

@@Gwaycee my sarcasm doesn't come across the computer screen as easily as I'd like it to. I was joking that the father, in his old school ways is just going about business, while the younger generation is gloved up. I'm not good at interneting to be honest.
@Gwaycee it's not about the danger is about getting Cow shit all over you, shit is still shit regardless. Have you been on or near a cow farm they are known to smell really bad.
Crazy idea, if you take the wagon box off and turn it around on the running gear then when you back it in the discharge will be on the side towards the mixing room. Would simplify the conveyor system some.
Exciting times for your Dairy Farm. Looking forward in seeing the progress. Wishing you the best. Your videography is excellent Eric. Thanks for sharing.
the silos will have bottom unloaders or surface unloaders (changing doors)? Will take a lot of horse to get the material up 132'? In loading your new chopper box ( on a running gear ) think of a 4 in 1/ high lift /split bucket for your skidsteer. Another option is create a loading dock with the box on ground level and skidsteer on a 2' higher loading slab next to the commodity shed. Will be able to load more and will last longer.
Ive been watching for a long time. I love the time you take to explain things. People have a channel but know nothing about there equipment. some don't explain anything. You take us along and give great detail. Thank you. The solar additions, the robots, now robot feeders. just amazed. your channel is very hands on. Just know you take us into a world most have no clue about. The care you take for the cows they are cleaner than other channels I've watched. Once again thank you for all you share.
And, if I may add, he sticks to the topic. It is strictly agricultural, we know, that this family is very religious, but they keep that and everything else privat.
Instead of cutting the top of the wagon down more so the Skid-steer can fit, you could dig down a bit and have the wagon sit in a lower part of the floor. That way it retains every bit of its capacity.
A Father and Son working side by side. The true American dream. I'm really excited about the changes you got coming. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Eric, congrats on the new wagon. Can you just fabricate a small portable ramp system to place beside the silage wagon to drive up on and raise the bucket higher so that the volume of the wagon can remain as high as possible?
Great job at the auction. Glad you were able to score two great pieces of equipment.Thanks for explaining about the rebar in the footing. Loved the video and looking forward to seeing ow they build the silo. Thanks till next time.
A nice mini project would be to weld a hitch (or coupler) to the upper top front portion of your skid loader feed bucket. Under the step lip. A farmer I worked for had sent that to very experienced welder who added that to the bucket... if i recall it was a 1.5" thick piece of flat steel bored with a hole and trussed underneath. Will save you a great amount of time and to use on that hay feed wagon as opposed to switching to the forks every time. What is nice is that it is front and center and in the skid loader i operated you could see it so easily. If you real good you could use the front edge of your bucket, angle it, to lift up the trailer tongue and then change the angle to drop it down into alignment for the pin. Saves you from having to go far to drop the pin.
Erik, could you use the chain drive flore and augers and drop the trailer axles, make trailer larger and inclosed and have some kind of pipe, where straw choper can blow directly into it, it just needs to be the size of your current storage, then you wouldt need to fill the trailer every 2 weeks
Interesting, sounds like a good plan going forward. I'm looking forward to seeing the progression of the silo and conveyor system. Good luck with everything, have a great weekend!
Two thoughts. Get a high dump bucket for the skid loader so you don't have to cut down the side. Rotate the forage box on the gear, so you can back it in the shed and the unload conveyor would be in the opposite corner it currently is at, and would line up to the conveyor.
We use our old tmr mixer with an electric motor to store hay or straw in. Works great because you control the amount with the door. Computer turns on conveyer then mixer. Neighbor uses a old forage wagon and works fine as long as hay is chopped fine.
Poor Gracie she wasn’t brave enough to jump. Daddy had to help get in the truck. Glad to she’s still supervising you guys. Give her a couple extra pats on the head for us. 🐶
After watching the whole video after making my comments just wanted to say more. I'm excited as you are about the build. I thought this was a great video. One of the better ones put together I thought. Good job!! Seems to me from the other Lely Vector videos I've seen that an independent Lely kitchen building would facilitate more room for said kitchen and allow you to keep the shop where it is. ^ A new shop will HAVE to either be built or taken from some other space. You NEED a shop also. Just an old man's thoughts. :: edit:v: Especially before you get to far in construction of the silo:: One more thing. You "may" need a larger telehandler in the future and then could use your new wagon the way it is hauling more hay. New(used) telehandler for more reach.
Why not complete the concrete floor, thru the center? Seems you may be developing an area that will create a mess with feed on the dirt.Not a criticism, just curious.
The silo unloader can’t unload silage below the top of the footer. Once the silo is filled the first time, the hole will be filled with silage that will stay there for the life of the silo.
From experience it’s probably going to take 3 to 6 months to get the automated system to be KINDA be consistent and repeatable to deliver the formula you require … seriously … in your contract stipulate a minimum testing sequence of 3 consecutive batches that meet your required feeding parameters before you make the final payment … make your contractor validate that the system meets your requirements … or it’s going to be your $$$ and time wasted over the next few years trying to dial the system in to be reliably consistent and repeatable … and don’t forget to do extensive monitoring initially of your system !!! You’re adding multiple variables and failure points to your feeding process so monitor your feed daily initially then regularly for a few years to assure consistency throughout all the seasons of the year …This is big AG stuff your doing so my recommendation is to NOT move quickly and monitor and monitor and monitor until you can statistically assure the WHOLE SYSTEM is consistent repeatable and reliable !!! THIS IS AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE MORE DIFFICULT THAN YOUR SCRUBBERS …
I would find a spot to make a ramp/ loading dock to load silage box with skid steer rather than cutting the side shorter… just my 2 cents. I’m sure whatever you come up with will work
Could you take part of the back corner sidewall out making a door ( maybe adding a sliding door ) so you could just back the wagon straight in putting the feed ramp to dump on a conveyor along the wall and could you cut strips out of a old heavy duty conveyor belt to use on you manure scraper to keep it from folding over
Always a lot of work getting the robots working right, but I’m sure you’ve seen a great reduction in manure carried up in the beds. As much trouble as you had when you first got them, I didn’t think they would work out.
How about looking into building a ramp out of 2x2x6 concrete retaining blocks for the wagon so you can achieve max capacity on loading might save you a round of loading plus easier on your equipment plus the visibility you would gain and will be a cheap fix use it for unloading doc as well plus blocks lock together
might suggest you put variable frequency drive on the wagon. Might even be able to get an adjustable signal from robot's scale's fill rate to help adjust wagon unload speed to not over feed conveyor and speed up when wagon is getting near empty.
Eric with the proximity to your commodity bay, would it be more practical to remove the chassis, leave the wagon sit on blocks and use the sawdust bucket to load the rear of the wagon as the feed advanced to the front rather than pulling it out so frequently. You would cut the rear and probably still remove the roof.
It's good you keep on top of things. You are probably the best and cleanest run barn I've seen in all the videos I watch. Your animals are so healthy because of your hard work. Congratulations on your new purchase. Can't wait to see how everything looks when you're done. Question, who is that cute little side kick that hopped a ride in the truck with you and your father? What's his name? Maybe you could give him a little intro some day, like name and his position on the farm? Thanks for your videos they are great.
Eric, I've been watching for about two years amazing dairy farm just ran by you and your dad that's also amazing. I'm interested about a couple videos previously you had a tanker of molasses? How do you add this to your feed? My grandfather always added it on the sileage, before it was blown into the silo. Great video, Skip, Western PA.
Have you thought about where your new office will be once the shop is turned into the feed room? Cant wait to see the new office build video when it comes time
I don’t know Eric, a table and chairs, cot, some curtains and a portable potty. You got yourself a pretty nice red neck toy hauler! On a more serious side I am really looking forward to the silo build. Never seen one up close much less one being built.
Erik, loading up hay 2 a week will take you a lot of time, couldnt you make the trailer larger or get reed of the chassi and make one big aria where the straw chaper could directly blow in it, just an idea.
A suggestion on cutting the side down on your new dry hay box…how about a slight ramp for your skid steer rather than cutting the side down, that way you lift the skid steer higher and can get more in the box that way.
Part of these robot feeders will be a new shop. That itself is a big project, making a shop for a dairy/crop farm. You should end up with a shop just the way you need it.
@Richard-zz7gmyeah you are probably right. After looking at a drone view of the farm there is a distance and uphill as well. Hopefully they have done their homework on how many loads each day and the time for transport between locations. The fact that they has grown out of the workshop might have made a to big impact on the choice of location
You won't be able to back the wagon in to fill the mixers, the wagon discharge will be on the wrong side. Also you'll have to have the conveyor to the mixers going through the wall way to the front instead of along the back wall with the rest of the conveyors.l
Amazing watching your operation transform over the years! Exciting! Best to you all!
Eric, you are forever an optimist. You see the manure pit as half full. Bravo!
Sadly the dog did not share his optimism
There sure is never a shortage of feces.
Love your channel. Great seeing your dad and you working together here. Blessings
I’m looking forward to watching your silos being built . That’s going to be very cool to see .

I like how you keep your farm so clean. It really does make a difference in the health of the cows 🐄 🐮🐄🐮.
I’ve seen other farmers with flies all over the cows and they look like they have worms 🪱 and they are treating them for scours and pinkeye and they look sickly.
Some farms will convert their old bunker silos into shops or cold storage. Add short wall for height and trusses. Boom you’ve a nice barn.
I was going to mention the same thing. Put some roofs over the bunker silos and enclose one for a shop.
Looking forward to all the silo videos. There are a lot of good ideas in the comments on improvements. Turning silage bunkers into a shop/ storage shed. Making a ramp for the skid steer or a high unloading bucket. Turning the box around on the forage wagon.

I had that in mind as well, taking off the roof and parts of the sidewall may destabilize that cart.
Always nice to have a higher cart, don't have to fill it as much.
Why not make a ramp to drive the skid up on to reach to dump feed in wagon.
We ran those wagons for years. I unloaded 1000’s of loads from them. Trouble free. Meyer.
I love the maintenance videos. So good to see you and dad working together. Good times.

Realy looking forward to see the build of the new feed system !
Love seeing you two work together. I promise it will be your fondest memories one day.
Pops just raw-dogging that scraper with no gloves, haha.
I'm sure it's nothing to someone that's been doing it that long, but I'd be in a hazmat suit. lol
Cows only feed on herbs, so their poop is not as toxic as human poop.
@@Gwaycee my sarcasm doesn't come across the computer screen as easily as I'd like it to. I was joking that the father, in his old school ways is just going about business, while the younger generation is gloved up. I'm not good at interneting to be honest.

Pops has seen it all, not much grosses him out at this point.

Two thoughts.
Get a high dump bucket for the skid loader so you don't have to cut down the side.
Rotate the forage box on the gear, so you can back it in the shed and the unload conveyor would be in the opposite corner it currently is at, and would line up to the conveyor.
i believe your high dump bucket is called a "clam shell grapple" it would be excellent for dry silage. it can grab 2x what an open bucket can haul.
Cows just watching you guys fixing scraper...they watch everything
Looking forward to seeing all the improvements you and your dad will be making with the automatic feeding system. Stay safe.
I saw on Sollenberger's FB page that they started building silo #1. Congratulations!
We use our old tmr mixer with an electric motor to store hay or straw in. Works great because you control the amount with the door. Computer turns on conveyer then mixer. Neighbor uses a old forage wagon and works fine as long as hay is chopped fine.
Cows looked soo cute. They were like. “ what you guys doin” ❤😊
Eric sending best wishes on the upcoming project, America needs dairy farms hopefully the automation for your feeding operation works out as intended.
Maybe just use a couple of those large concrete blocks to create a small loading dock for loading hay into the forage box
Exciting to watch your project!
It would be cool to see you use 2 of the silage bunks, one for equipment storage and the other for a large shop.
Another great video! Super excited to see the new feeding system come to life!
Poor Gracie she wasn’t brave enough to jump. Daddy had to help get in the truck. Glad to she’s still supervising you guys. Give her a couple extra pats on the head for us. 🐶
The new silos going up are.awesome.
Great video! Super excited for you guys can’t wait to see the process of building a silo! Should be really interesting viewing ahead!
You are definitely, smart farmers:)

I would suggest planning to have 2 or 3 more com boxes for any future ingredients or if you had to put some silage in the pit for some reason.
Congratulations on the purchase I can't wait to see this whole system come together. Would you guys be selling any of the bunker walls😊
So much exciting work being done. Will there be some sheeting to cover the center of the donut hole dirt?
Awesome and amazing video Eric. So excited..Good luck to the guys putting up the silo.. Be safe

I hope the bew robot feeders work out great for you all. Congrats on all the success
Lely makes an upgraded floor scraper frame. The frame on youre scraper is bent thats why the end start wearing first
Mixing snow with your manure makes great fertilizer.

Wonder if you could load the hay from the front? Use a conveyor in to it. It would keep the hay dry with the roof still on the wagon.
Always a lot of work getting the robots working right, but I’m sure you’ve seen a great reduction in manure carried up in the beds. As much trouble as you had when you first got them, I didn’t think they would work out.
Im sorry about Jordan but Im from Kitchener Ontario Canada. Thank you for your services
Well done on your purchase and I'm looking forward to seeing the silo take shape
Looking forward to watching your new project and seeing the silos being built.
How about looking into building a ramp out of 2x2x6 concrete retaining blocks for the wagon so you can achieve max capacity on loading might save you a round of loading plus easier on your equipment plus the visibility you would gain and will be a cheap fix use it for unloading doc as well plus blocks lock together
Northern nydraulics used to make bolt on wings ... many for your scrape bucket.
might suggest you put variable frequency drive on the wagon. Might even be able to get an adjustable signal from robot's scale's fill rate to help adjust wagon unload speed to not over feed conveyor and speed up when wagon is getting near empty.
What are you going to do for a barn to work on your equipment? Since you’ll be losing your current barn? And office?
They have some ideas, but they haven't made the final decision yet.
Why not go with a self proppeld feed mixer ? Saves a lot of time as well
Excited to see new feeding progress. ❤❤❤❤
I would hope you cover bunks and use as machinery storage and convert existing storage into full shop
4:04 Hi Eric if your skid loader is on a small ramp to get over the top
Eric with the proximity to your commodity bay, would it be more practical to remove the chassis, leave the wagon sit on blocks and use the sawdust bucket to load the rear of the wagon as the feed advanced to the front rather than pulling it out so frequently. You would cut the rear and probably still remove the roof.
If you're not going to be using the bunks any more can you convert one to a workshop, equipment storage?
A small telehandler would reach over the wagons side. If ya could find a good used one.
In Ohio, everything changed. We got 2" of snow. Projects were all put on hold.
We all thought we were not going to get any winter this year.
2"of snow stopped your project!?
It's good you keep on top of things. You are probably the best and cleanest run barn I've seen in all the videos I watch. Your animals are so healthy because of your hard work. Congratulations on your new purchase. Can't wait to see how everything looks when you're done. Question, who is that cute little side kick that hopped a ride in the truck with you and your father?

How do you add this to your feed? My grandfather always added it on the sileage, before it was blown into the silo. Great video, Skip, Western PA.
They add it to the feed as it's mixing in the feed mixer.
Have 2 of those wagons, very reliable
Rather than cut the side down off the cart, how about a ramp on one end of the comm. barn for the skidsteer? Might have several other uses as well.
Are you going to roof over the bunk ? For a new shop and dry storage? Good watching the progress!!
Have you thought about where your new office will be once the shop is turned into the feed room? Cant wait to see the new office build video when it comes time
Just thought, could you turn the forage box around so it unloads at the back? Might make it easier to back in?
Yes that is what we are thinking
No clickbate. No chasing views. Just informative content. Love this channel. I can't wait to see this robot feeder come together.
Thank you
Excellent video
I don’t know Eric, a table and chairs, cot, some curtains and a portable potty. You got yourself a pretty nice red neck toy hauler! On a more serious side I am really looking forward to the silo build. Never seen one up close much less one being built.
I've never seen one built - looking forward.
Erik, loading up hay 2 a week will take you a lot of time, couldnt you make the trailer larger or get reed of the chassi and make one big aria where the straw chaper could directly blow in it, just an idea.
A suggestion on cutting the side down on your new dry hay box…how about a slight ramp for your skid steer rather than cutting the side down, that way you lift the skid steer higher and can get more in the box that way.
yeah the "cole the cornstar" thought that too i would think lol
Maybe but this is a different situation
I’m interested in the expense difference in the robot feed system vs a robot milking system for an operation your size.
Part of these robot feeders will be a new shop.
That itself is a big project, making a shop for a dairy/crop farm.
You should end up with a shop just the way you need it.
@Richard-zz7gmThe location is the best between barns. Current workshop has too narrow door as an example.
@Richard-zz7gmyeah you are probably right. After looking at a drone view of the farm there is a distance and uphill as well. Hopefully they have done their homework on how many loads each day and the time for transport between locations. The fact that they has grown out of the workshop might have made a to big impact on the choice of location
Will you have to relocate your office as well as the shop?
Great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
Nice purchase!
Sounds like a great plan Eric.
Very interesting. Keep the videos coming. Thank you
Im loving your videos. I can't wait to see how the robot feeding will work
Hoop roof on 1 of the bunker silos would make a nice new work shop. You should get lely to add 4 milking robots with the vector
Keep doing what you're doing bro.
The cows always come first
It's just my opinion that I would make a ramp to load the wagon. I think it'd be better than cutting the wagon down. Just my thoughts.
You won't be able to back the wagon in to fill the mixers, the wagon discharge will be on the wrong side. Also you'll have to have the conveyor to the mixers going through the wall way to the front instead of along the back wall with the rest of the conveyors.l
We plan to flip the chassis
How is the new home doing this winter? I hope it's keeping you warm and draft free.
