When putting on or taking off blankets. I fold them in thirds. Tail to middle of back, then to withers. Unbundled front, fold that back to withers and slide off the side. I have an H&S 50 bushel ground driven spreader. I love it! I made a ramp to go over the tongue so could run full wheelbarrows up the ramp and dump. I pulled it with a John Deere garden tractor (385 I believe) or my ATV. Never had an issue unless went to go too fast when it was froze outside. You get hit in the back with terms when going too fast.
I live in North Central Iowa and we have temperatures in the high 40s and lower 50s the middle of the week. We are calling it a heat wave compared to the temperatures we have been having.
Get you a good PTO spreader and put it on the back of that Kabota. The problem with most, me included we buy something too small and spend more time doing a chore because we didn’t buy something big enough. Take your kabota pile all your manure up. Let it compost and then spread it when you can. I pile all mine and when you do spread it, it’s like peat moss and spreads easily without chunks. Enjoy your videos
Agree, always go bigger than you think. But my dad purchased a Lancaster ground driven for his horses and likes it real well. Might be another avenue to look.
Talking about breakdowns, one truck in the shop, tractor with clutch out, had to have my other truck jumped off at my day job and my dog got diagnosed with Lyme disease yesterday! Spring can't get here quick enough for me...
we had a ground driven spreader for 20 years works really well for horses, pulled ours with a honda 350 rancher. Bought it used and sold it to a fellow horseman, only thing we replaced was floor after we used it for 6 years {was 15 years old when we got it}
Hey any chance one video you could brake down costs an how it works heifers Cavs and bulls witch brings more money an why you sell them different times of year or turn into beef ect
I never used one of those little ones like you are talking about I use a older new idea it’s pto drive I think it’s a 309 it’s the old orange and green style it’s three beater those three beaters I think do a awesome job it tears it up much finer than the one beaters do I have used single beaters in past and there is always big clumps in field which is ok if you are going to plow but in hay ground or pasture I think the finner the better
Wouldn't mind some duck hunting/cooking videos if you have time. Look forward to seeing the bump in grain feeding, thinking of doing the same. Thanks and Roll Tide.
Been doing any duck hunting? Been up and down for most folks depending on who you talk to, but hands down the best year I have ever had! Especially since buying my place in 2016. You should hit me up, as close as you are. Heck, I drive an hour and 35 mins every time I go, I've gotten used to it I guess LOL
yeah, our club in Arkansas is a little over 1.5 hour drive. Headed out in the morning for the weekend. This is our first year in this club. The early season was pretty good. Gotten slow in January, primarily because we have missed some time due to ice. Hoping these last few days make up for it. Good luck on the end of your season!
Love too see another video, What Ag gear jacket are you wearing because I like it might buy one. 28 degrees middle Tennessee. We are calving right now.
Canada geese are a little tougher and gamier than ducks. These turned out pretty good. We occasionally kill speckled bellies (white fronted geese) in Arkansas and they eat really well.
We have, but it’s been a while. Some debate about how beneficial it is. One reason we really like unrolling the hay is that it helps them to naturally spread the manure out. We also try to strategically feed our hay in some areas that need more nutrients (the poor ground).
Definitely a niche there. We actually discussed that on the podcast this week. Just not really our thing or what we think we can “specialize” in. The potential margins there are intriguing. I know some guys who do well just buying really thin cows and feeding them well for 90 days. Put 200lbs on them and run them right back through the sale. Lots of little ways to carve out your space. Just have to find what your niche is.

Thank you! Yes, we will be back to two tractors before long, so we can load with one and spread with the other.

@@HurricaneCreekFarms OK thank you i really like it.
I like your cattle videos. I don't like your sarcastic comments about Alabama. I'm 69 years old and I am darn proud be from Alabama.
@@fredperry9360it’s all in fun!
@@fredperry9360 Me or Hurricane creek farms
I have never eaten Goose does it have a strong game taste or something different?

Alabama guy, do u think runing them from fall to start summer is better or worse than spring throught fall., i know summer heat verses winter cool.
You ever run a drag across your pastures?

Why don't you buy some 5to7 years old cows open and get them 7to8 months breed get them bough 1300 sell them for 2000 to 2500
