TIM from Canada as you are building your conveyor in through your barn. Suggestions make a half door. That’s underneath your conveyor this way you can close the door when the weather is not so great or in the winter time to keep the breeze out..
DIY you fellas would fit in well down under. Don't you just love it when a project comes together and works out. Great farmer skills using the bucket as a saw horse 🤗
I can't help but chuckle at that a tad lol I have been in construction for over 30 years and the way I I've work, 80% of my work has been done by one person and that's me, including hanging 10' sheets of drywall (without a lift) I've had to raise a 12x12 premade roof (roofing and all) over my head and without any type of lifts/ jacks, just pure back and muscle so when I see these two install a few nuts and bolts together as a team, I do have to laugh lol. I mean it's good and all, at least they won't end up like me and I wish I had been granted help on so, so many jobs that were not intended for one man at all

Now that is just brilliant. I'm so impressed by your ingenuity, I never saw that coming. No question why you have been successful for 10 generations. If William Penn could see you now. Great job Eric and Dad!
Excellent video! Appreciate your explanations and your work. Great teamwork for Dad and Son. Hope the increased productivity give you the time to teach the little ones the thrill of flying through the air - safely seated in your lap as you float across the barn on the rope swing, or maybe more time to shoot hoops with a second junior sized basket mounted a few feet off the ground. Great project. Well done Dad and Eric!
Congratulations Eric & Dad, on your clever improvising to meet the need. * A Safety suggestion might be to put the " stands strength," underneath the conveyor, so the vertical members carry its weight, not the screws. Tim.
Excellent job installing the conveyor. Anything you can do to make the job easier is a plus. You have probably already thought about it, but you could make the box on the conveyor that receives the feed from the mixer a little larger in order to catch all the feed from the mixer. It looked like the belt from the mixer was wider than the box. Keep up the good work, and God Bless.
It’s enjoyable watching your dad and you working together. I really miss those days very much. Also wanting to ask for his opinion and then you realize they are not there.
Omg just finished watching your robot scrapers, before watching this video... didn't realize you literally uploaded this just a few minutes ago haha! Love the innovative features your doing, keep up the good work my dude!
An awesome job on the conveyor system, you and your dad did a great job on it, way to go. I appreciate the thorough explanation you gave on the system, that was neat, it was great that your neighbor and church member had one that fit your needs. Nice video, enjoyed watching. Thanks for sharing and y'all have a safe and wonderful weekend.
'The layout of this farm is madness, who designed this!' Evolutionary and emergent design at its finest!!! I'm surprised you didn't cut a chunk out the top of the door for the conveyor so you could easily walk under it!
Your dad with the puppy makes me grin. Is there anything you and your dad can't solve -- oh yeah -- that "electrician stuff." ; - ) You do amazing work.
Great job of repurposing the old instead of buying new…and this just one example of how farmers have been way ahead of the curve when it comes to “recycling” by repurposing. And what a blessing to have great neighbors!
I just recently found your channel after work this week and I gotta say I'm really enjoying watching what you guys get up to. Reminds me of my primary (elementary in the US) school days at a combined dairy farm/school. Learned the rural way of life and a lot of agricultural education mixed with standard curriculum. Especially when I saw your old International tractor, we had one just like that but with a ROPS frame on it. Used to tow a trailer with seats and side panels and take us around the farm occasionally. I don't know if it's an option for you're loader or not but here in Tasmania you can get tracks kind of like snow chains but you fit them over both wheels of a wheeled skidsteer and they give better ground resistance and traction in dirt. They look very similar to the chains on your conveyor belts actually! They'd probably suffer a bit on bitumen though but might make working in snow and also digging that drainage a bit easier if you can source them. If they're not commercially available a fabrication workshop might be able to engineer a solution for you. They're commonly found on tree harvesters and forwarders if you need to find some examples.
My only suggestion would be to replace those wooden support legs with welded steel ones with angle iron supports for the new conveyor to sit on and ears for screws on the sides of the conveyor. Those screws you're using can't handle much shear (side to side) stress before they fail. They're designed for loads from head to tip longways not loads applied to the sides. For side loads bolts would be better and even nails would be better than screws. Otherwise, nice job!
It's so nice to have good neighbors, got what you need. And how God works out when you don't know where you get convaor ,and wala you got one. Keep up the good work my brother and love you for all you do for our milk in stores.
I've never bothered to oil apron chains. I'm guessing this was a one time thing because it was rusted from sitting. And it will be such a small amount of oil it won't hurt a cow
Well done with getting the conveyor built, just a small suggestion you might want to put a cover at the end of the new one the connect too the old one so as you don’t have any spillages plus it might be easier to unload the mixer at the end instead of being parallel like you did so as you don’t have to squeeze between the gate and the conveyor
Glad y’all found used one from bone yard. Catch box from cart to conveyor could be bigger to allow more freedom parking feed cart. Other than that, great job.
Poly conveyor last longer. The only bad thing is when the temperatures change from hot to cold, the poly expands and contracts. Harder to keep the drag chain tight.
TIM from Canada as you are building your conveyor in through your barn. Suggestions make a half door. That’s underneath your conveyor this way you can close the door when the weather is not so great or in the winter time to keep the breeze out..
I love how the church takes care of each other. Glad you got what you needed.

Great farmer skills using the bucket as a saw horse 🤗
It's nice to have neighbors that look out for you and a poly conveyor for use outdoors at that!
Thank the Lord for good Christain neighbors willing to share
So glad everything worked out well for you guys. Dad and his puppy are quite the pair!
Awesome! I wonder if you had a few old conveyors left. I am trying to figure out a similar system to feed the family at Easter Dinner.
Great work! I love seeing you and your dad working so well together.

Good for you but no one cares, all of us who are self employed have done jobs meant for multiple people by ourselves
A real blessing for your dairy for sure.
Praise God for His providence! The perfect used conveyer right in the church fellowship. His mercies are amazing everyday.
What about all the people that aren't provided with anything. The ones who suffer and starve. Where is "GOD" for those people?

That went smoothly, good job. Gald al of you and your neighbors work together and help each other, that is real nice!
I love seeing people help each other out. That's the America I remember and love.

it`s aweaome the way u and your dad work together
Working with your dad sounds like a great thing. Oh, and more dad puppy videos.

So awesome seeing all the work and continual change to the farm. Love every minute of it. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Fun to watch farmer ingenuity at work...thank you for taking g us along...🚜👨🌾🚜👨🌾🙏

Giant conveyors…robots… you guys continue to innovate. Inspiring!
Blessings to you! God provided for you at the moment of need with the conveyor! Exactly what you where looking for.
I would say AMEN to that
'The layout of this farm is madness, who designed this!' Evolutionary and emergent design at its finest!!! I'm surprised you didn't cut a chunk out the top of the door for the conveyor so you could easily walk under it!
It's a rented farm. The owner might not be to keen having a hole cut in his wall
Great ingenuity, team work & repurposing. Doesn’t hurt to save a few bucks either.
Good job dad & son.
Your dad with the puppy makes me grin. Is there anything you and your dad can't solve -- oh yeah -- that "electrician stuff." ; - ) You do amazing work.
Electrickery isn't for the faint hearted 😅
That is crazy what you and your dad can do together! Quite impressive of you two
I am always so impressed with your ingenuity.
Great looking solution to the conveyor situation. With a team like you and your Dad things can really be solved. Thanks till next time.
Very interesting, love ingenuity making things work better. Eric you and your dad work so well together.
Excellent job of building and creating!! Well done.
Great job of repurposing the old instead of buying new…and this just one example of how farmers have been way ahead of the curve when it comes to “recycling” by repurposing. And what a blessing to have great neighbors!
The end product was better than expected, good stuff!! All that's left is tweaking x3... Nothing's perfect until you modify it 3 to 5 more times
Gotta luv it when a plan comes together!
Great job and video Eric and dad. Thank you
This is exactly why there are things you just don't get rid of. Also neighbors helping neighbors.
Just had one of these set up at our farm last spring! They are a LOT better then A belt conveyor. Literally have had no problems
Great video of you guys working together and that chain breaker in the video brought back a lot of memories
Yes it did, for me 60 yrs ago fixing chains on corn and hay elevators, and the manure spreader chains.
I had no idea of the number of trades you guys need to know. Very impressive! Puppy is very cute!
Nice job on the conveyor the cows were keeping a close eye on you trying to figure out what you were doing
Eric, I love to see the working relationship you have with your Dad.
I go to school, work the rest of the day on a dairy farm, and finish off the day by watching 10th gen. Love your videos!
That very good way of doing the feeding . Very smart . You will have to put some kind of cover for it so it don't fill up with snow .
Awesome Eric glad it worked out for yall.

Great video, and good ingenuity. Love the pup, he’s gonna be a good farm dog.
Very ingenious you two are. Working out the problem together for a great result. Stay safe.
Great awesome video Eric , love the set up now , works so much better
i dont live on or work on a farm but this is interesting to me, i love seeing the innovations you all make on your farm.

That seems to have worked out well!
Great job Eric and Dennis!!!
Congrats man! Beautiful farm and family investment. Good for you!
It's so nice to have good neighbors, got what you need. And how God works out when you don't know where you get convaor ,and wala you got one. Keep up the good work my brother and love you for all you do for our milk in stores.
When you said puppy I didn't expect that lol that little bugger is CUTE
New favorite YT channel. Good editing, good content.
You should use vegetable Oil to lube up the chains and if it gets in the feed it doesn’t hurt to Cow
Regular oil is toxic and humans would get sick from it, I can only assume it wasnt regular lube oil
I've never bothered to oil apron chains. I'm guessing this was a one time thing because it was rusted from sitting. And it will be such a small amount of oil it won't hurt a cow
I have no clue how your channel found it's way onto my feed, but glad it did.
Thats a game changer. you guys work well together
I never realized those conveyors were made of wood. I always thought steel.
Good report on an a big improvement project. Great to watch. Waiting for the next video.
What kind of oil you put on the chains…. Since it is ment for feeding livestock?
Everything worked out so well! (My Dad used to say that came from good, clean living and in your case, I believe it's true 👍)
Ok Eric, we need to meet, “the neighbor” y’all are always borrowing things from. Really good neighbor! 👍🏼
In dutch, there is the saying : “Better a good neighbour then a far friend “
@@fdelputte5755 Silly, that wasn’t a Dutch saying… It was in English! 😁😎👍🏼
Wow looks like it fits like a glove so awesome that it all worked out

Good job, well done. Again I am proud of you and your ability to tackle anything.
Well done: that is a creative solution to your feeding problem.
That was cool to see you and your dad put that together. Nice job. 😇☘️🇺🇸
Congrats on a great job. You guys MacGyvered up something special. 😀
amazing too see how this turned out, keep up the great work
This is a beautiful project and excellent work!
It's good seeing you and your dad working so well together.
I didn't realize those conveyors were made of wood. I thought they were sheet metal. Thanks for sharing
super cool that conveyor belt
Glad y’all found used one from bone yard. Catch box from cart to conveyor could be bigger to allow more freedom parking feed cart. Other than that, great job.
Hey, I have to say that the converter system you guys put together work pretty good.
Beautiful. Just what the doctor ordered! :D
Does it cost more to run silos and convayers with stationary mixer or bunks, skidloader, and mixer on tractor?
Man you and your dad are some hard working guys. Love your channel keep up the good work.
Glad all worked out. Looks good
Grabbing the puppy for the road trip... Priceless
Excellent work!
If you would have used cooking oil available it's great for oiling chains.
Excellent work for both of you
The ingenuity is amazing to watch!
You did a pretty good job with the covoyer!!
Cool that used conveyer worked out for you guys. Getting it installed looked like a major PITA though. Take care.
Instead of hanging the area above door by cable, just screw a couple boards to overhead and to side of conveyor, like upside down posts.
Great work you two! Amazing team work and this is going to get the work done ✅
Real nice are you covering that section for rain/snow debris?
That was veggie oil?
Remember the days when you had to run extension cords for the power tools. lol
Did we work harder or longer lol
Worked out awesome all the way around.
Very interesting vid. Farmers/ranchers are the most creative problem solvers !
Love seeing videos like this as a millwright.
Poly conveyor last longer. The only bad thing is when the temperatures change from hot to cold, the poly expands and contracts. Harder to keep the drag chain tight.
Great job and looks like it will work well for u and your Dad
That turned out really great! Nice work!!
