Have you ever tried putting in all the silage right after the hay? The reason why it takes so long to process is because the hay is fluffy, which takes much more time. Putting something in that is more dense will help push that feed down and allow it to mix and process faster
Yes I've don't that, that particular ration had hardly any silage in it. But yes it does work much faster with weight on top. We use mainly round bales here and those take a while no matter what. I would love to have a new one, with new augers and knives
@CentralValleyCaliforniaFarming so far I have owned this Kirby, my very first one was a harsh tornado, very old, and then I got to run new kuhn twin max on a truck which I liked and then my neighbor had a new Meyers wagon that run a good amount that I really liked. I would really like to have something around that 1200 to 1400 cubic ft on a truck
Good to see you back Will. We have a smaller vertical box then you. But I sure like it better then the other. You actually have more snow then us lol. I hope the family and little one are doing great. Take care my friend.
Winter wheat grazing is Oklahoma life hack, well. We still feed hay. But not near as much vs dormant grass pasture. Winter storms we burn threw a lot more hey no matter what. 2x a week they'll get feed cubes. I would have to look at my sheet in my office to get a accurate protein rating. We aren't to fancy besides cattle eye appeal and fences lol
For sure, truck would be way better for distance. Just come with a larger price tag when the tractor is already in place for farming. over buying both to feed with, then I would say the truck is better financially as well.
Greetings from Saskatchewan. TH-cam hasn’t notified me of your videos so I was only six videos behind..was kinda wondering if you didn’t take all the money you made off feeding cattle and TH-cam and retired to the Caribbean or such 😂😀

Hello 👋 from North Battleford Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
Glad to see you, all we have been getting is a few skiffs of snow and lots of wind. Since it is NM the wind of course is a given! 🤣🤣
Good to see you back Will. We have a smaller vertical box then you. But I sure like it better then the other. You actually have more snow then us lol. I hope the family and little one are doing great. Take care my friend.
You too, I tried to buy the biggest one i could afford since I have to travel so far with it
Nice looking mixer wagon
Have you got a 4x4 baler now Will?
That’s a huge feed wagon! Loader sure has been nice for you. I forget how nice they are.
Nopw just a 3x4, I did use my friends 4x4 to bale that straw up tho
Glad you’re receiving some moisture.
Great video
Thanks
Good to see a video from you was wandering if you was gonna do a saddle shed video and an update on the receiving barn
I would sure like too
Great to see you making some videos. I love my vertical mixer. That 6x6 that you demoed would be the cats ass.
Yeah it would, be nice with a little bigger box but yeah that would be nice
Glad to see you're producing videos again, the snow sucks but at least it's the moisture, are you planning on doing a saddle shed video?
I would sure like to

i had a tubgrinder come and grind 150 bales once. big wind came up and blew the entire pile to the neighbours
Ooof
you could always chain your skid steer in your loader bucket and pull the mixer out.......
Just my opinion. But I think a tractor is good for about 2 mile distance one way. Anything further is cheaper to run a truck
For sure, truck would be way better for distance. Just come with a larger price tag when the tractor is already in place for farming. over buying both to feed with, then I would say the truck is better financially as well.
Hope all is well ,,,need a new video
How do you like the wheel loader, what is it for size and brand
Great show Bud. Interesting. TY
Thanks
What you giving calves with mycoplasma that seems to work
