Never in a million years did I think that one day I would be genuinely happy to see a man bounce a basketball off the walls of a sh*t pit.... But here we are!
you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Uriel Cohen thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Raps, You can say that again !!! There’s something about these farming videos, I think it’s refreshing watching real people. Each one has their own style. I’m hooked. Haven’t watched TV in a couple years.
Eric, you are so hard working most of the time. You deserve a bit of fun sometimes. It does seem to usually involve a basketball. Thanks for your many videos. They have helped so much in these lockdown times. God bless you and your family.
When my grandparents had a fuel tank. When the delivery was coming he would set the "treatment" next to the tank. And the driver would pour it in prior to unloading. The driver actually suggested this. Saying that there would be a better mix with how fast he fills the tank.
Beautiful. Hello Sir. I'm Sikemi Olabisi From Nigeria. I'm a catfish farmer here. You inspire me a lot and it's always a pleasure coming here to learn. I'll be glad if I could get a collaboration with you Sir. Sending you love and light❤
Hey dearie. I watched your collaboration with QDM a Canadian farmer. It was epic. Keep it up dearie. I really do hope you get a collaboration with the Diary Man. Cheers❤❤
I really do pray he sees this. The fusion of two different agricultural culture would be amazing. We'll love to see that content too.👍👍👍💜. Eric you should see this
Old grandmother sitting here laughing at the end of this saying boys must play! That thumbnail tho! And I've got to admit that was pretty cool. Can't wait for a long video of that time-lapse of the whole thing when it's all done!
Great video looking forward to next. Thanks for sharing your family business shows how those before you are hard working folks. 👍👍see there values in you.
Laughed out loud when you threw the basketball and it bounced out completely! Love your vids Eric! Keep it up. Nice to see dad getting better. God bless.
I've emptied thousands of 5 gallon containers. It's a lot easier to empty a 5 gal container if you pour with the hole at the top rather than the bottom. Good luck. Great site.
Diesel911 for year round use. Keeps out moisture and prevents algae growth. In the winter months use Isoheat. It’s base is isopropyl alcohol that absorbs moisture in extreme cold. Best of luck!
You had me laughing at the game of wall bouncing in the manure pit. Life is what make it and You always have me enjoying your videos. I feel like I know you. Great stuff Eric!
My grandfather was a chemical engineer, he always taught me that in 90% of cases, if something was going to benefit fuel quality/performance/anything, then it would be added at the refinery
We’ve been using Archoil AR6200 for about 7 years now. With these new Diesel engines and the use of ultra low sulfur fuel, there’s very little lubricity to the fuel and this will lead to premature wear and failure. I’m happy with this product and there has been a little improvement in fuel economy but more so with cold starting and less soot. Changing our engine oil over to Rotella T-6 has also shown a big difference in less soot and longer oil life. You can’t just put plane old 15w40 in these new engines. It will cause premature failure. Keep up the good work! Jesus is Lord!
Totally expecting the phone call to help get you out of the pit...but I should have known better as your ingenuity to figure things out proves itself again. Very fun watching the new project and excited to see how it transforms your day-to-day work. Thanks for all that you and your family do for us! Keep up the great content!
Can always use more lubricity and raising the cetane helps the fuel combust cleaner especially in the winter. It also prevents gelling but I don't think in PA we get cold enough usually to worry about that. The biggest thing is water, it will make so it doesn't sit at the bottom of the tank. It will get mixed in and and eventually burned away. Ask the fuel vendor you buy from for a report on the diesel fuel. It should be tested before they load it.
The terminals that I've loaded fuel at all provide daily reports on fuel condition. Just ask your fuel dealer and you should have it in no time. If you are buying dyed dsl. fuel (not straight fuel oil) the additive package is injected at the terminal when the product is loaded. And yes, a small tube of water detection paste is a good thing to have.
I can't say that I have ever dribbled a ball in a manure tank but now you can. Thought the ball being bounced out was funny and I'm glad you got yourself out of there!
I used to deliver diesel and gasoline to farms and I see that there is no cover on your gauge. That will let the rain in. The next time you want to put an additive in the tank, wait until you get a delivery to mix it up well. What you did will not really mix it up. I like your videos and believe it or not so does my wife.
Erik getting the manure spreader stuck has made my day hahahaha, Love you're videos I'm this video deep in to watching all of them Thank You God Bless and have A Great day.
When I ran a Diesel PU I used Lucas fuel treatment. Now I run a gas engine PU and also use the same Lucas Fuel treatment for fuel. Also, use The Lucas for engine oil. I did a long drive into the middle of Houston today for dimension steel from a large retailer that has great prices. I needed to add some motor oil and included a cup full of the Lucas oil treatment. The engine runs great in and back from Houston. More than 100 miles one way. I was unable to read the label on your five-gallon bucket...you might be using that brand. Your also a concrete worker... or walker..yea... And the double disk... great to hear a double disk pulled through the soil. Hope your silo gets fixed... CHEERS!
A diesel additive does really help things out. In the winter months I use a product: Power Service Diesel Fuel Supplement+Cetane Boost to winterize the diesel and keep it from gelling and messing up the fuel filter. You could use the stuff you were using and add this in the winter months to help out. I use this and I have not had a problem even in -5 degree F or lower cold. Easy to find. I had to chuckle when you jumped into that pit with 10 ft walls. Also need to be careful with that exposed rebar, many workers have accidentally impaled themselves. Could wreck a good day.
I was afraid you'd be spending the night in there. Glad you got better hops than I do/did. I spent a lot of time on the farm with a basketball or rubber ball and ball glove bouncing them off things. Much to my dad's dismay I might add.
For shortening that axle I know a guy who jacked the rearend off the ground, put the tractor in gear, and then held the saw while the axle spun. Sure took a while but the cuts real nice. Will definitely need a few blades! Good luck and god bless
Great work as always... you might want to think about putting a cover of some sort over that fuel tank gauge... We wound up getting fuel contaminated from moisture getting in from a missing cover.. just a suggestion..
We have games with our manure pit too. We have discovered that the enjoyment seems to decrease as the pit fills with manure. For example, once it gets to 8 feet deep, the 100 meter freestyle swim competition really wasn't that much fun. In addition, we never did find one of the competitors from the 10 meter diving competition into 8 feet of slurry.
Greenwood silo spray foams the under side of the roof and first 5 feet to keep the harvestore from sweeting. I don't know if that would make the haylage better on top or not.
I use Howes and Hotshot Secret. Hotshot Secret seems good for Spring/ Summer/ Fall, Howes has a much lower gelling point in my experience. However, Be careful, my newer truck (2014) starts throwing codes on cheap diesel treatments. I put some Diesel in that was treated Power Service and I had injector issues. Definitely use a biocide in your diesel though. Algae will grow in diesel and ruin injector pumps and injectors.
You looked mighty small at the end of the pit and mighty tall when you came up close. Skid steers are worth their weight in gold, never know when or where you need to use them. Sorry about the two loads of wasted feed, hope the repair will be quick and easy.
Look at Diesel Mechanic In A Bottle. Made but B3C in Conway S.C. Great product and helps with water in the fuel. Helps with anything running DEF too. Helps keep the particulate filter clean.
I may have told you this already, but years ago my Dad had two John Deere's that had those Long Axles also, and ended up getting one of them caught in the loafing shed, and the only way he was able to get it out was to Burn the axle off with the torch. As he was never going to use the rear wheels set way out. Take Care!!!
I have always used DieselKleen in all my machines, keeps the injectors clean and keeps the fuel from gelling in the winter months. Never had an issue with clogged injectors since I started using it.
Never in a million years did I think that one day I would be genuinely happy for someone on TH-cam getting a new barn!
Never in a million years did I think that one day I would be genuinely happy to see a man bounce a basketball off the walls of a sh*t pit.... But here we are!

Much better than TV 💪👍
Raps,
You can say that again !!! There’s something about these farming videos, I think it’s refreshing watching real people. Each one has their own style. I’m hooked. Haven’t watched TV in a couple years.
yes
The most clean that pit will ever be.
So clean you could eat out of it
🤣
My Dad is an aussie Dairy Farmer, showed him a few things off your channel, and now he watches your videos. Good job man, keep it up. From Australia
If that camera is doing its job, thats gonna be an awesome timelapse
Better you than me climbing the ladder on that silo.
I’ll come climb it!!! Ohh pick me!! 😂
or me on the silo OR the pit and have to jump out!
Eric, you are so hard working most of the time. You deserve a bit of fun sometimes. It does seem to usually involve a basketball. Thanks for your many videos. They have helped so much in these lockdown times. God bless you and your family.
Thanx for sharing.
It is a joy to watch your videos 👏👏👏

Cen-pe-co fuel treatment is a very good product! Been using it year round for 40 years great results.
It will never cease to amaze me about backing up trailers, how jacked up you can get them and not get them out when you you just put them in there.
Beautiful.

Oh Eric. You should check this young Lady out. She's intelligent and amazing😊
I hope he notices you

Always great videos. Enjoy watching a young man at work and play.
Great video looking forward to next. Thanks for sharing your family business shows how those before you are hard working folks. 👍👍see there values in you.

Always a few steps forward in the progress of that barn, I’m so glad God has blessed you with the ability and funds to build this.
Great segment picture and caption!

I do remember when I had all of that energy... Way way way back then. Thank you for great video.
I love watching your videos. I’m always looking forward to watching them. Great job. 👍
Great video eric , i really like how you and your dad work together, thanks for being farmers
Another great video! The echo is amazing in the pitt. Great video again. Can't wait to see the next one!!!
The video we’ve all been waiting for.
Excellent video Eric and your dad I am always waiting for new video thanks and as always you and your dad and families all be safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Should have got a tennis racket and ball. Tanks for keeping us updated.
Looks like the game ended pretty quick when you threw the ball out of the pit! lol. Thanks for the video.
We have used power service for years been good no fuel related troubles like we had before using it.
Really looking forward to seeing the build. Great videos Eric!
Great job freeing that spreader Eric. Wasn't too sure you were going to free yourself from the pit. Oh to be young again...
You had me laughing at the game of wall bouncing in the manure pit. Life is what make it and You always have me enjoying your videos. I feel like I know you. Great stuff Eric!
Love watching the progress of the new barn!!!
I was wondering about that long axle. Thanks for the entertainment!
Great picture of you posing in the tank ☺️
My grandfather was a chemical engineer, he always taught me that in 90% of cases, if something was going to benefit fuel quality/performance/anything, then it would be added at the refinery
So what I'm taking from that is it's better to buy better diesel to begin with than try and add stuff to it yourself?

Thanks for the comment, amen!
LoL.. glad you jumped up and out Eric. Quite the character!
Well done helping your dad. Didn’t know you were a wall walker.
TH-cam is actually helping him by out his uncle's inherited part of the farm. Pretty cool

dude there is just something about your videos that just keep me coming back for more! good morning From Australia
I loved seeing him have fun in the pit how epic! Great fun!!
I really enjoyed you having some fun at the end. Getting creative and just having good ol fun. Work hard but still find that time to play
Awesome video Eric. As I suspected the floor of the building will be slabs of concrete placed on top of the walls. Thanks and see you on the next one.
Love the way the cows are watching
Me too. When he's tryign to get that out, I was well at least the girls are enjoying the show!
Good video, I did not realize how high that 😳 tall tank you were on till my stomach went in a knot, you be careful
looking forward to seeing this barn completed
I can't say that I have ever dribbled a ball in a manure tank but now you can. Thought the ball being bounced out was funny and I'm glad you got yourself out of there!
Been 1 year and yet I still think you can't get out of the pit until you show you did it

Sick thumb nail LOL😂 anyways I hope your well Eric I'm glad getting the pit put in went well❤
I'm from Ukraine. I love watching your videos without even knowing English. And so everything is clear without words ... ✌️
Erik getting the manure spreader stuck has made my day hahahaha, Love you're videos I'm this video deep in to watching all of them Thank You God Bless and have A Great day.

Thanks for the comment. The brand of fuel treatment I used is Cen-pe-co.
Was wondering there for a minute if you were gonna get out. 😁😁. Love moving forward
I'm like everyone else how we're you going to get out lol...you showed us...great video thanks for your hard work
We put filters on our pumps. Saves on expensive fuel filters on tractors plugging. Additives we use are stnadyne and power service white jug.

haha - gave you a thumbs up for the getting in and out of the pit.. Take care
Great awesome video Eric, you either have a roof leak or a air bag problem in that silo . Should never be like that ,
Keep up the great work 👍👍
4:14 that was my idea (time lapse) 😍😍😍
I just completed one year following you in TH-cam
I was afraid you'd be spending the night in there. Glad you got better hops than I do/did. I spent a lot of time on the farm with a basketball or rubber ball and ball glove bouncing them off things. Much to my dad's dismay I might add.
Great shots in the tank.

Will definitely need a few blades! Good luck and god bless
Uhmm, yeah...I would have been stuck in that pit. Glad you got out!
Lost it when you launched the basketball out the pit, great vid
State of the art. Nice.
That new addition is going to make a great new grow room.
Love the inside view of the pit. I was wondering if you were going to get out of the pit or if you were going to have to "Phone a Friend". God Bless
When we had the pits in our barn built. My sister and I rode our bikes around and raced in them.
I feel like I spent like a month waiting for video haha I love them. Pura Vida Eric
I had something else totally in mind when I read your video title, "Testing out the New Pit"!
Lol what?
@@probro1116 Exactly. :)
Great work as always... you might want to think about putting a cover of some sort over that fuel tank gauge... We wound up getting fuel contaminated from moisture getting in from a missing cover.. just a suggestion..
You're killing the game again Eric!!! Great Job
Power Service is what I use.
Never had any problems with pumps or injectors.
Same here, we even use it in our trucks
Good stuff Eric glad you had chance to goof before they came back
We have games with our manure pit too. We have discovered that the enjoyment seems to decrease as the pit fills with manure. For example, once it gets to 8 feet deep, the 100 meter freestyle swim competition really wasn't that much fun.

You have an awesome father, Eric. I believe you know this and hope you tell him.
I don't normaly like vi videos, but with yours its the first thing i do.
Keep up the good work
That's pretty cool watching the have fun on the farm all working very little play basketball will take you a long way he he
You looked mighty small at the end of the pit and mighty tall when you came up close. Skid steers are worth their weight in gold, never know when or where you need to use them. Sorry about the two loads of wasted feed, hope the repair will be quick and easy.
That’s gotta be the last time you ever want to see somebody inside that pit
you got that right
Keyword there is "see". So as long as you don't see the person in the pit we're good, right?
Holy f*. This creeps me out 😂
Remembers me of my cat being in there and we had to call the firefighters. 😅
Great video. Shame about the waste. You'll get it sorted mate
Love the content keep it up from Norway
Look at Diesel Mechanic In A Bottle. Made but B3C in Conway S.C. Great product and helps with water in the fuel. Helps with anything running DEF too. Helps keep the particulate filter clean.
