Very enjoyable video as always , smashing looking cows 😍. Your very popular amongst our Irish and Uk viewers, get mentioned quite a bit in our comment section. Keep up the good work, great ambassador for farming. 👍
$7.50 an hour + you get to do arts and crafts, drive cool toys, play in manure, have alot of girls around you (4 legged ones) and you get random chocolate milk. Now that is heaven!
@@Michael-8903 😁 A little yelling is not so bad now, if it's directed at things and not people e.g. if you walk into the house with manure-caked boots, I think it's perfectly okay to yell at your feet. 🙃
Thank you for sharing your lives with the world!! We live in AZ so I’m sure we don’t drink your milk but we sure do appreciate all dairy farmers and all farmers in general! I am amazed at everything you guys do yourselves!! We love the way you care for your cows too!!
Next time your using the grinder while wearing a hoodie, PLEASE tuck the strings into the hoodie instead of letting them hang down. BIG safety NO - NO there. If they caught, that grinder would climb the strings to your neck. Be safe, Jeff
File the ends of the all thread rod, it makes them less likely to cut you and makes it easy to get the nut on. Some people use the side of the grinder wheel, but on a cut off wheel it thins the sides too much and makes the disc more likely to come apart on you.
Nice idea on the skirting for the special needs pin, also on the all-thread for clamps. Your dad is a great resource for finding ways to help shorten and improve methods on the farm, no doubt from years of experience as well as a sharp mind. Looks like you have a really good compaction on your corn silage. Thanks for sharing, have a great Sunday and week ahead!
Great channel man. I’m sure there’s other dairy farming you tubers out there, but I like this one. Hard working man, very informative in not too long videos. Keep em coming, and stay safe. I watch everyone. Take care.
Salute to the feed tractor. A bit of a camera hog, but what a great machine. Seems like a guy with a welder for a brother would have a purpose build silage scraper. LOL Thanks for sharing, Eric and Dennis.
Fast nut tightening, take your drill with whatever you have in it, take a short piece of pool noodle or old pipe insulation and rubberband or tape it around bit. Make sure its tight around bit and can turn in drill. Run that against the nut and it will tighten or loosen fast just reversing direction. Hope that helps next time.
Hey Eric, Adrian Horning here, I used to work for your dad and uncle a number of years ago. My almost 3 yr old daughter Laura loves watching your cow videos. Her favorite part is when you “feed the mommy cows”. I was hoping next time you film mixing feed if you could give her a shout out it would make her day. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Just a comment seeing you work in your shop. Since you guys cleaned it up, it really looks nice and well organized. Great job. Hope you guys work at keeping it that way. Very easy to let it go especially when you are busy but try keeping up with putting things away and sweeping up when done......You guys are really good at thinking on your feet and creative to get the job done.
I think he's trying to avoid damaging the threads. Putting the rod in a drill might damage the threads and make it harder to thread the nut back on. You can see where he initially removed the nut after cutting the rod there was some resistance as the nut was re-grooving the threads along the cut edge.
I know you probably have a mill file. That would clean the burr off those threaded rod and you’d not have to waste time screwing on the nuts. I made 36 24” rods for holding my welding table tight while welding. I too, did not want to have to thread on soo many nuts….mill file for about 4 strokes on the burr and good to go….thanks for all your hard work and time and love to your animals.
You know if you round that off take that grinder and just round those edges off and it'll take that burr off then you don't need a nut Just a little machinist trick Just turn the grinder on and roll that treaded rod around it
Good thing you fastened the bench down lol. A good way to square those boards quickly is to use your speed square as a fence for the saw, just saves marking.
Eric thank you again for another interesting video. Growing up on a small dairy farm in Schaghticoke NY, we haven’t farmed in many years I really enjoy all of your videos.
I love all your vids bro. In case you don't know, your hard work, attitude, and natural 'way' serves as an inspiration to myself and with no doubt, thousands of your subscribers. Don't stop. Peace!
I still think u could still build 1 or 2 big silos and save in long run vs messing with bunkers. No plastic waste, dont need to shave pile. Less spoilage. Not weather dependent. Yes takes longer to fill during harvest but u already do that for the silos u have...
Everything has its posatives and negatives. I see the argument for big silos but I get really tired of dealing with our uprights. Unloaders always giving trouble at inconvenient times and slow feed out. Also a pain to get started after harvest especially with silage gases.
@@10thgenerationdairyman61 very true. Bunkers alway work. If skid loader or other equipment breaks u can get a replacement fast if needed. If silo unloader has issues u r stuck waiting for repair or hrs trying to fix it. Even worse dig the sileage by hand to feed cows. Omg i dug sileage by hand 1000s of times growing up on farm. Just a desk jockey now,lol.
4:56 hold the speed square on the board, run your saw's bottom plate up against it, no marking the wood and it cuts really square with no effort on the running the nuts down the rod, put the rod in the cordless drill couple tips for next time, buddy!

The four-legged ones are the best
They never yell at you

Don't forget the short commute and lack of traffic
💯
“It does help that I am jacked” lmao
“It helps that I am jacked!”☠️☠️ Love the ingenuity!

Glad you bolted down that work bench.
57 Days till spring
greetings from Romania!
i m glad to see a real farmer at work!
keep walking!
"I'm jacked." lol
You are so humble that when you try to be cocky, it doesn't match you and it's hilarious.
“Jacked…” lmao. Nice work!
Who knew a milking cow's diet was so complicated? Not me. Thanks for the lesson Eric.
Dairy on Eric!! 👍👍
I appreciate you waving at the machine after it tells you hello.
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS ERIC HAVE BLESSED DAY
You really give your cows a good time mix
Man you and your dad are some hard working guys. God bless you for what you do.
next time you have to do this 1:30 use a air gun on the edge of the nut and it will spin the nut as long as the threads are good and clean
The never ending of line projects, maintenance, and chores. I thoroughly enjoy watching 10th Gen.
Next time your using the grinder while wearing a hoodie, PLEASE tuck the strings into the hoodie instead of letting them hang down. BIG safety NO - NO there. If they caught, that grinder would climb the strings to your neck.
Be safe, Jeff
They call him Jack Armstrong. 💪
I am constantly amazed at the ingenuity you and your dad have for improving the farm. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
4:50 you can use your speed square to run the saw up against to hold the straight line while you cut, turns out pretty good.
was about to say myself, but thought surely someone else had mentioned. thumbs up :)
That's why I enjoy farming. if you ain't got something, you just make it. rather than having to wait
File the ends of the all thread rod, it makes them less likely to cut you and makes it easy to get the nut on. Some people use the side of the grinder wheel, but on a cut off wheel it thins the sides too much and makes the disc more likely to come apart on you.
Love the videos! Hand band saw best for cutting threaded rod BTW. God Bless the farmers!
This is definitely one of those jobs were u will ever be able to get ahead of your work. It never stops giving.
Loved your humor today !! Always good to be jacked 😂😂🙋♀️

Eric getting paid $7.50 an hour makes me feel better about being a 10th generation McDonalds worker.
he was obviously joking lol
@@rublie1426 I know
@@rublie1426 Yeah he really only gets $7.25

I love your videos you and your dad work so well together your dad has taught you well you both are such a joy to watch thank you

tta love that cow chasing the feed trailer.
Thank u for the share. Enjoyed watching.
Your an amazing young man who is taught really well from your dad. Another good one.have a blessed day

Great video of a great farm operation.
you can cut the rod, then 45 the ends with the grinder at the bur.
As long as you grind away the bur the nots will spin right on.

You are an inspiration, Eric. Thank you for these videos.
Your lady's resting on the best bedding 👍👍👍👍👍
Cool stairs on your clamp. Ty for another wonderful vlog.
Great jobs guys,,very wise,,also glad you don't have to plow snow yet
If you would need u bolts pre bent or anything you could always try a truck parts place
Enjoy all your videos. Have a great day.
Maybe a heavy plastic tie-rap would work way easier and cheaper. They have some big strong ones. Try a electrical material supplier or McMaster-Carr
That red 10th Gen hoodie looking good.
Thank you for sharing.🐄🐄
Safety patrol here. TUCK IN THOSE HOODIE STRINGS!!! (Please and Thank You!)
That is a lot easier to do. Put the treaded rod in your drill and put the nuts in the visegrip. 2 seconds - they just fly on the rod
I think he's trying to avoid damaging the threads. Putting the rod in a drill might damage the threads and make it harder to thread the nut back on. You can see where he initially removed the nut after cutting the rod there was some resistance as the nut was re-grooving the threads along the cut edge.
I really enjoy your channel, always making things better with different projects. Beautiful Farm too.
That’s how I make any unbolts I need it’s so much cheaper
I see you use multipurpose markers as well. Keep the humor up. Looks like winter is treating you alright so far this year.
I know you probably have a mill file. That would clean the burr off those threaded rod and you’d not have to waste time screwing on the nuts. I made 36 24” rods for holding my welding table tight while welding. I too, did not want to have to thread on soo many nuts….mill file for about 4 strokes on the burr and good to go….thanks for all your hard work and time and love to your animals.
Could have squared off the boards by using the square as a guide rail for the circular saw.
You know if you round that off take that grinder and just round those edges off and it'll take that burr off then you don't need a nut Just a little machinist trick Just turn the grinder on and roll that treaded rod around it
My dad is a farmer that sends 30 head pork to a restaurant in New Mexico. We live in Iowa
Good thing you fastened the bench down lol. A good way to square those boards quickly is to use your speed square as a fence for the saw, just saves marking.
i use a speed square as a saw guide. have a giant one for larger cuts
You have to cut with a stain sawe then it's a little bit less raw on cut side.😉
If your cows only knew how hard you worked to make their food for them 😀!
I am always waiting for your video. You're video are very interesting to see.
You are my favorite youtuber.
Please tell us again as you are mixing feed as to what you are putting in it. Thank you. Hope you have a blessed day.
Eric thank you again for another interesting video. Growing up on a small dairy farm in Schaghticoke NY, we haven’t farmed in many years I really enjoy all of your videos.
When I cut threaded rod I just round the end off on the bench grinder, no trouble getting nuts on and off after doing that
You guys are a very well oiled machine! Keep up the good work! Oh and the 7.50 an hour comment!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Silage Scraper still remains undefeated in the most satisfying implement on the farm. Great content as always 8/8
Spin the threaded rod as u cut it an u won't have any trouble starting the nut. Dont need the vise
Love ur dry humor when u are working. Like ur method for bending rods. U might not be jacked but I bet u are ripped
At 7.50 an hour might be a good deal😀I remember years dairy farming it was 2.00 an hour or less by the time bills were paid!
I’m surprised that you didn’t put a lil heat on the rod to make bending easier but I guess nothing succeeds like success!
I love all your vids bro. In case you don't know, your hard work, attitude, and natural 'way' serves as an inspiration to myself and with no doubt, thousands of your subscribers. Don't stop.
Peace!
I stoped watching manifest (netflix adicting serie) the minute I received a notification for your video!! No regret!
Great video once again!
just bevel the cut ends with a grinder and the nuts will screw on easily
Jacked ha 😂. Am I the only one who just laughed out loud?
Hi i am matthew from South Africa i watch your video and i love you guys
Slow down safety first
Amazing video maybe you should become a fabrication tech with those U Bolts 😉😂
spinning nuts on the threaded rods: maybe take a drill with a polishing or wire brush wheel or something, and see if the nuts can be driven from that
Thank you!
Tell your Dad that he only has 2 eyes.......SAFETY GLASSES!!!!!!
That bent like rubber under your tremendous strength. 🫡
Zelo lepo delaš.👍
Eric needs a DeWalt chop saw.
You’re the man!!
Great awesome video Eric

on the running the nuts down the rod, put the rod in the cordless drill
couple tips for next time, buddy!
Always enjoy your dry sense of humour ☺️
From Spain Wells done
Captain Obvious: my observation When you were cutting the boards you added bedding.
4:54 I have seen carpenter use the speed square like a fence for circular saw.
Lol at the 7.50
An air nozzle will spin those nuts FAST.
Great video Eric your videos bring back memories of the late 80’s when I worked in a dairy
Eric, I think I would have drilled a hole the post and board. Faster and cheaper.
That's a pretty smart way to save some money hope all is well
It would be a cool video if you could talk about your plans for 2022 keep up the great work!!!
Great video!
