@@kennyb4689 i think he might of used it.. thats why he didnt film getting that skid steer out. grant out here using them irl mods... must be nice to know people to get all these cool mods
Grant may I give you an important piece of advice? Purchase a big nylon strap for pulling things out. Welker Farms, Sonne Farms, Millenial Farmer all use them along with others and its way safer. If that chain breaks it’ll fly either front or back and it can kill. Also you can throw a blanket or even a jacket in the middle and if it breaks it’ll stop the chain from whipping. I don’t meant to sound like a know it all. Just don’t want to see anyone hurt. Thanks for sharing!!
Truly is amazing how far you’ve come Grant!! I’m a 22 year old and my father and I have been farming our whole lives, he he recently passed away due to a heart attack and I was giving our 2100 acre farm to manage all my own I will say it’s hard running a farm of this size on my own but there’s a good sense of pride at then end of the day I’m sure you feel the same way. Good luck buddy I truly hope your farming career takes off!!
Wow! Sorry for your loss! That’s a hell of a Story- You should try and share the struggles/successes of handling that farm all on your own on TH-cam. I would be really interested in following along on the journey!👍
@@granthilbert5632 thank you truly! I haven’t uploaded since then I really appreciate you’re response have a good one buddy and maybe consider checking out the channel?!
I highly recommend getting a heated floor in the shop if you build one my boss has one and it is awesome, good luck too ya I hope your farm goes a long way
You could also get yourself a bush hog for the back of your tractor as well. You should get a heavy duty Yankum rope for things like this. Look up "Matt's Off-Road Recovery" to see how well they work. If I may make a suggestion for the trailer, you could get some clear paint and put some grit in it and put it on the surface of the trailer so you can get better traction when it's wet.
I know this is an old video by now but just a tip from a guy from Utah that deals with slippery icy snowy Dex loading equipment all through the winter out here in the Rocky Mountains having a five gallon bucket of ice melt will save your life. When you know you're going to be loading equipment on your deck and weather like that spread out the salt about a half hour before you're going to load. And the salt will also act as grip for the track tracks stupid talk to text
Grant, unless you have tons of brush that's 4" or less and still standing I wouldn't worry about mulching. You will be time and money ahead to stack and burn. Look into a Jenkins grapple and that Kubota do more than with the puller and grapple combined!
When the trailer is slick like that just hook a chain across it at the bottom a few feet up the deck and then you’ll have traction to get up on the deck.
Hey Grant next time the skidsteer gets stuck like that, before you do anything, make sure you dont just floor it, try to slowly move it to the left or right, and use your front attachment to push down on the ground to
To each their own but I bought a track loader and cleared my farm. It came in handy for a lot of other things. I got a Cat track loader stuck in a ditch like that. If you hook a chain to a loader arm and gently get it turned sideways you can drive it out. You might do a TH-cam search for Barnominium. There are several channels that have some pretty cool options.
Iv put up 2 buildings 1st one was a Menards building kit they deliver the whole kit to your location it can be done with basic tools and 4 guy can have it up and tin in a about week week and half depending on size and nice part about it is the inside u can do at your own pace and make it what you want 2nd building we found a place here in Nebraska that makes premade buildings and they hauled it in in 4 parts and it just bolted together and we just had to insulate it and run power for it
Hey Grant! I am a John Deere Heavy Equipment mechanic! And my shop does the installs and sells the Fecon heads that attach to skidsteers! Great Video! Can’t wait to see the after Result!
Awesome man! Quick question- Do all guys that run Mulcher heads/rent mulcher heads have a bulletproof glass door on the skid? Was thinking that may be an issue of it breaking all the time.
@@granthilbert5632 yes! They offer a replacement glass that is way more re-enforced so for the debris flying around or possibly fly back doesn’t shatter and dismember the operator! I would recommend not running it until getting the thick impact resistant glass first! But when we do the installs usually someone buys the machine with the head we install the glass at the same time! You shouldn’t have an issue getting the glass but a good idea maybe get another door with the glass out into it then you can swap between both doors when needed not having to touch the glass all the time!
Definitely an 8 row for that size of farm. Shit a 6 row would even work. My neighbor used to do 1200 acres with a 6 row corn planter and a 15ft seed drill😂
Love your vids im a farmer 4500 ac my kid watch your farming simulator videos all the time I'm from Canada farm potatoes and small grains and corn love you videos keep it up they also can't wait for your vids on this channel
Hello Grant my name is CJ and you are my hero my dad passed away in 2013 I been watching you for a long time and you make my day so much better because you make me laugh and I always wanted to play with you on fs19 fs17 fs15 but I have a xbox and I don't have a pc but I just want to say Thank You and Keep up the good work
All I have to say starting a farm is good luck man its hard out there be prepared for all the stress it comes with dont let it eat you alive. Man and another thing is just to let you know to start out small and work your way up its easier that way. Buy your stuff out right. Keep up with your maitnence.
I thought two hours of raking my back garden made a big pile of mess, but hell was I wrong, also I'm so proud squad vie been here since 2017 and imp so happy your farm is going good apart from the stuck skid steer lol
If it helps if your using the skid steer during winter and using the trailer take a bucket of sand and make a path for the tracks after the snow is off it melts the ice but provides traction
GET A STRAP , DO NOT SNATCH CHAINS! Look where that chain is, its eye level with the man in the skid steer ! if that snaps it could kill the man! Safety think safety all the time, DO NOT CUT CORNERS. Other than that good video keep going bud your doing a good job!
Tip if you take the bucket or grapple and stick it in the ground when you get stuck you can curl it back and stick it in the ground and push your self out or help get out. Helped me get unstuck lots of times in mud or it the barnyard.
something ive learned living in alberta and seeing countless cars in the ditch and hitting the ditch myself always try to pull across the road or as far from the ditch side you are in as possible it minimizes the chance of the tow vehicle getting sucked back into the stuck area if that makes sense
You should try Morton Buildings. We got a 60 by 120 foot shed build for dry storage and it is nice. They put it up fairly quick as well. I live in Eastern South Dakota but I am pretty sure they build in Iowa as well.
Hey Grant, For planters if it was me I would run a 6 row. You don't have a ton of Acres and even if you get more a 6 row would work for a while. If you are planning on doing this a while I would recommend buying New unless you find otherwise. We put in about 600 acres and we run a 6 row. Keep up the good work with everything
Make it big enough for two or three things to fit in at once. Make sure you make it expendable (for the heated shop) . It took my family 15 years to get a nice headed shop to work in and it’s small but does the job.
Hey Grant ! ... its so good to see someone in my own area that does farming ,, i luv to watch your videos and see you starting out from the beginning ... and making it yours ,, im from South Central Wisc ( Beloit wisc ) and i do get over your way at times to Dubuque Ia ..to the casinos .. i can really relate to the weather in the area ..
So personally I would recommend when you turn that brush and stuff try not to burn it in the corn field bc then it will take nutrients away from the soil so so it somewhere else and don’t feel pressured to plant next year take your time with buying equiptment and ask cole for some tips on what to look for and things of that sort so you don’t make a really expensive mistake when buying
My family is in the same boat for traveling to farm. We live 50 miles away from our actual farm and land. My father works a job Monday through Friday and every Saturday and Sunday me and my father get up at 6:30 and drive down and work then come back home. We don’t stay down there in Saturday nights, and it’s a challenge farming 850 acres.
i am loving this from fs19 to real life it really is awesome and i am really happy you did this not only for yourself but for your viewers also AWESOME
You should have used a chain saw for those little ones. It would have turned that job into a hour job instead of how long you guys worked. Excited to see how things turn out.👍
You should check what Cole the cornstar did to his trailer. He had the same problem trying to get the skid steer on the trailer in wet/freeze temperature so he made a rack out of angle iron that works great.
Great video man I loved to watch it! I don’t live anywhere near you I live in PA lol but I wish I could help you on the building that you plan on building. But in the mean time have a great week and I hope that you find someone that will put a building up for you!
Greiner buildings!!! My dad used to work for them and there great they built this shop called a shome and it’s means shop and home as in living quarters and there great I would go with them!
Your skid steer has been reset and is ready to pick up at the shop we all knew that it was Spencer

Lol
I like that

I love how Spencer just says “Morning buttcrack”
Lol
I have a friend on psn named buttcrackmen
lol
Lol
yeah
When your pc breaks and you can't play FS19 so you just buy a farm in real life . YEE YEE!!!!

Sounds like something most of us farm guys would do 😂

My dad had a mulching business where he ran skid steer mulchers. They are a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend one.
Grant, unless you have tons of brush that's 4" or less and still standing I wouldn't worry about mulching. You will be time and money ahead to stack and burn. Look into a Jenkins grapple and that Kubota do more than with the puller and grapple combined!
You have one of the best loaders on the market. I’m a Kubota owner since 1975.
I recommend covering the window on the skid steer with something going down the gravel roads so rocks don’t kick up and break it
Never give up on your DREAMS!!!!
Amazing what those grapple buckets can do. Try getting a rope strap for getting stuff unstuck. A lot safer and easier on the equipment.
It's funny when Spencer calls you "buttcrack" 😂 but great video Grant!
Love the new Farm vids! Can't wait till the farm Starts to take shape and be built.
So nice seeing a new farm start wish you the best of luck!!!
Hi! How are you? I love the video for The Squad channel and from this one!! ❤️❤️

Awesome! Glad you enjoy em!

Should have just reset the skid steer to the shop, would have fixed all your problems!
i would have just turned off seasons wait till it dried up
Guys he’s trying to play realistic and not reset
I would recommend Sukup Manufacturing CO. For grain storage bins.
To each their own but I bought a track loader and cleared my farm. It came in handy for a lot of other things. I got a Cat track loader stuck in a ditch like that. If you hook a chain to a loader arm and gently get it turned sideways you can drive it out.

Grant when u build a building make the cold storage connected to the heated pat with a door. My family did that and we love it
That’s what I was thinking, with sometype of insulated sliding doors that will open it up.

If you do then you should build a farm house like in your 1980s farm series in farming simulator
that is not realistic my freind

For free?
