love the 20 series!:) Cant wait to watch more videos of it.:) we had a 6820, still my favourite tractor!:D how many hours are on your 7420?
Very nice! Our 7420 has around 5500 hours.
Great video! started your channel from the beginning, now its time for some more. :) Really like your channel!
Nicethssss
Good hard work you do a lot of it keep up the good work.
Glad you got the hay. Not always easy to get dry hay😂 our hay just got rained on 2 times. Just can’t win sometimes😡
Yep! Making hay is frustrating! Had 15 acres of first cut that didn't work out cause of rain!
Ben Seehaffer ("Silo Jesus" in Silo Junkies lore) cheats, he has auto lower and uses unloader to level (Val-Metal version of VanDale Pow'r Ring) the silos lol. Has cameras up there too.
I'll have to check that out must have been a center fill silo where the unloader turns to spread the feed.
@@ourfarmstory yeah I think all of his main silos run centerfill. And a wireless camera failing buried 1 unloader lol. I think he is hard wired
Great video. Nice drone work
Great video! I like the song We are the heroes. Keep making videos I will watch.
Thanks for the video bro, it was much appreciated. Thanks for dropping Heroes in with the drone shot... bro and I really like that tune. We both really appreciate the way you keep your videos real, down to earth and informative. Take care my friend.....
Thanks for watching!
I was wondering if those were the original tires on the 2750 , great video. Hope you get the hay dry!
Yep, original tires from 1986! At some point, they will have to be replaced along with the rims.
Excellent video I really enjoy the songs and the drone shots ,you're getting really good at flying your drone while driving tractor.😊
Thanks! It definitely isn't easy to drive and fly at the same time! I like to watch the drone video while I drive then it's like driving from 3rd person view!
I'm down in the states they are starting to build silos 132 feet right now watch 10 th generation dairy man they just built 3 of those huge silos they put everything on the 2 farms in 1 silos and was still not full had 13 more doors to go before it was full Then they came back and planted the farm in corn After they take the corn off They will replant the farm in to there spring crop and they are milking 220 with heifers they have over 350 animals on the farm. So I guess if you really want it you can. Make it work But watch there channel see what you think
I've watched that channel for a long time! Those 132 by 24-foot silos hold a lot of feed! One of those silos holds more feed than both of ours combined. Should be a pretty nice setup when it's running good and feeding cows with automated feeding!
Good work Ethan thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I’m guessing 195 bales on a wagon
Good guess! 202
Nice operation you have going.
Thanks!
Who is the sire of the red heifers?
Most are ranger red, but there is an Attico and a Swingman heifer in those pens as well.
@@ourfarmstory they are rating Ranger- red very slow for milking speed, would be good to hear from those milking his daughters. Cheers 🇦🇺
Yeah...I wish there were more options for red sires but it's pretty limited.
Ranger red is very popular in B.C we have a few of them heifers
We had a big mixer and a elevator that we unloaded into that went to two wic 32 feed carts then fed cows in the barn
Very nice! A neighbor close to us has a setup like that.
We used to add some water if our haylage turned dry on us
We will add water to the TMR if needed but never in the field in the rows...just not set up for it, unfortunately.
Glad you parents took a vacation they work very hard for the farm to keep it going and you do too. That means you should get a vacation too!
Dang good flying a drone with no auto steer. Keep up the good work
Doing great👍 how do you find the patz silo unloaders are vs a valmetal silo unloader
Valmetal was a great silo unloader for us! Dad bought it for 500$ back in 2006 with the silo was only used 1 year, but it was an older unloader. After 10 years of using it we started to have a hard time getting parts for it so my parents priced out unloaders and went with patz because of cost and because that's what the other silo already had. They got there 500$ back for the used unloader on the trade in program.
@ourfarmstory thanks we got a patz barn cleaner, never skips a beat, but the exchange rate kills us where valmetal is relatively good price. Otherwise, i would rather the patz equipment
Exchange rate kills. That's why our new winch is a yellow jacket made in Ontario.
@ourfarmstory ive heard good things about the yellow jackets we don't have a local dealer we are also in ontario our local dealer only sells patz and valmetal
great looking cows
Enjoyed the video, keep making them!
Keep up the hard work 😊
Maybe you could try chains on the tires to help with the ramp issue.?? My only idea for you😂
🤣 there an idea! Wonder how loud the chains would be on the cement.
On our farm we always used saw dust and shavings on our cows but on newborn calves we used loose hay
Interesting. We use shavings in the heifer barn during the summer, but unfortunately, shavings have become quite expensive!
185 bales
Very close 202 bales on the second wagon! Thanks for watching!
I'm guessing 174 🙂
Close! 202 bales on the second wagon! Thanks for watching!
24x80 stave silo would do the trick to alleviate the mud issue 😁
I like the way you think! Although I would be tempted to build as tall as I could right away so I would have lots of feed storage.
@@ourfarmstory the sky is the limit! Lol
184 second wagon my guess
Pretty close! 202 bales on the second wagon! Thanks for watching!
@ourfarmstory that's a good load keep up the good work 👍
I’m guessing 200 to 225 bales on the second wagon
Great guess! There were 202 Bales!
We run two 20ft hay wagons hold 22 bales at time we stack two layers we made about 600 or so round dry hay bales this year
Very nice! When I only have only wagon available, I'll stack 2 rows on top. So a 20-foot wagon can hold 14. Then I'll grab a spear bale to make it an even 15. Sure takes a long time to haul bales!
Which do you prefer the barn work or tractor work? I prefer tractor work over barn we have a dairy farm but i have no interest in the cows i want to be a cash cropper
I really used to love working with the equipment and didn't like the cows as much. Now I like both a lot. Wouldn't farm without dairy cows. I get to do a lot of equipment work because that's what is available for me to do. My mom really likes working with the cows. So I work with the equipment more. Works well for us.
@@ourfarmstory right on I wish i liked cows to but I don’t 😂
We always did lots of baleage
Sure is a nice way to make feed if you don't have the silo space!
Keep up the good work..
Great video here’s a good tip to keep your baler in good condition whenever your done baling run straw threw the baler it helps keep things from rusting inside the baler. We made 1800 grass bales this year there was 8 of us guys stacking and loading bales on the elevator
That's an idea I've never heard before. Wish we could have 8 people to help with small squares...it's a struggle to even get 4 at our place.
There’s a bit of a difference in this newer generation on how hard to work and how much they want to work most of this generation is lazy. We need more people that are willing to work and work hard, doing a good job to
Long term the idea of using both tower silos for haylage and figuring out an alternative solution for corn silage would an idea to consider. We milk 50 cows and that’s how we do it and am very happy with it. Ground piling corn for now and going to bunkers/concrete in a few years time. It takes time!
There are definitely a lot of ways to do things! It's definitely a good idea to keep using what you have already built!
We always had mud when did ag bags even with a 4wd 2955 and 265 loader it was a mess to get out in the winter
Yeah, it's unfortunate. I'd be lying if I told you we have never gotten stuck with our 2350.
What state do you farm in
He’s from Ontario,Canada
great video
We have the same baler. Do 1500 to 2200 bales a year. Great baler
They sure are! With how few bales we make a year, our baler should last us a long time!
How you go up the silo chute without a hoodie so the feed doesn’t go in your hair and down your neck is beyond me. And nothing beats a tower ailo😅
🤣 the guys that were working on the one silo unloader last week said that to me, too. I just never do it. I never learned that way. I'd imagine it would get pretty hot wearing a sweater to climb silo. The odd time when it's really hot out or when the feed really bugs me I'll climb the silo with no shirt on, so then the haylage and heat doesn't bug me.
@@ourfarmstory no shirt…that’s even worse haha. I think a hoodie works great. Keeps the feed from falling on my head and going down my neck.
Great video!! As you have expended your acres you shoukd change your description of your channel from 170 acres to your current acreage! Good for you guys for expanding we just bought another farm this spring to in Ontario
Good catch. I forgot to update that! I'm glad to see that you guys are expanding to!
Congratulations on your award at the Eastgen Challenge 🎉
Thank you!
You don"t need GPS. You mowed a straight line across that field.
Just fir curiosity what brand of chopper and model did you have before this fp230 newholland
John deere it was a 3950. No processer. Worked alright it had a couple of breakdowns, but it was getting older and didn't have a processor.
Smaller dairy farmers are the Backbone !!!! long days and hard work. Great Family Life....
Great awesome video
H and s twin auger wagons are the only one's worth buying
I've heard good things about them. I've never seen one in Ontario yet. Lots of guys have either Dion, Meyer, or Miller Pro.
Good video of the morning operation. Would love to see the milking operation and about the herd.
I'll have to do that!
