- Making the first batch of feed with the Gehl 100. It's a work in progress with plenty of work left to do. The old Gehl hasn't been taken very good care of and it will take me a little time to get it in good working condition. But I was able to get a little cow feed made. Hope the heifers like it.

Making it with what you got. Be surprised with a little work how good it can be. Straighten the Auger and replace as many bearings as you can and grease fittings and I think you will have a reliable machine that will do what you need it to do. Farmer been making do with what they have for ever. Hats off to you for bringing it back to life. Imagine if it could talk and all the feed it probably ground in it’s time. Everything mechanical can be fixed if you are willing to put the time sweat and money into it.
Good vid..good memories..we had a 3020..diesel..pwr shift..wide front..wonderful tractor..IH grinder quite similar to yours..also ground some hay...good protein n good fiber..plus energy from the corn..hard to beat..always liked adding a bag of dried molasses...thnx for posting
Man yeah Mr Bill, really enjoyed seeing that!! Sounds like you got a great deal, pennies on the dollar 😉😉😁😁 Nothing wrong with a little TLC needed! I bet the cows are going to love that feed, looks great!! Thank you for bringing us along, can't wait to see what's next 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁😁😁
It was cheap but still need a lot of work. I'll get it there. Love grinding my own feed. Cows and goats love it. Thanks Mr Nelson!!
@@stinsonfarms6724 😁😁😁
Definitely the best cattle feed there's ground ear corn!!!
I agree! They don't back away from the trough. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks a lot sir for showing us the work and worries that go into making our food . Many people think that food comes from supermarkets, but that is an illusion . May God bless you and all country folks that work to make our daily food…You are the salt of the earth best to you and your family and stay healthy,,,❤❤❤
Thank you!! Much appreciated!! All things worth having take effort. And with that comes satisfaction and gratification!! Thank you again!!
Great video Bill, it was really nice seeing the Gehl mixing food, hope the cows like your recipe
Cows liked it just fine! The mixer is a work in progress. I'll have some videos coming up of some repairs I have to make. This batch of feed was all I was able to get until I do some more repairs. Thanks for stopping by!!
There is something satisfying about making your own feed. We had a Gehl, they are good machines and I’m sure you’ll get all the bugs worked out of it.
Yeah that 3020 handled it just fine.
I used to love to go to the feed mill and be around the feed being ground. The smell is amazing!! I need to pull the bottom auger out and have some work done to it. A couple more holes to patch and I think it will be fine.
I used a Gehl 100 for years that I also ran off a JD 3020. It works great. Nothing more satisfying to me than grinding feed. It is one of my favorite chores on the farm.
I love doing it as well. This machine wasn't taken very good care of and still needs some work. But I'll get it lined out. I think it will be a good machine. Thanks for watching!!
Reminds me of my years on the farm many decades ago.
It's hard to get rid of the bug once you have been there. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you sir. I really enjoyed this. If I was ever to be a farmer, I’d want to learn from the likes of you. I hope this machine works for you a long time. Merry Christmas 🎅🏼
Thank you! That's very kind!! I'm still learning myself. Lol A little more work and I think it will be a good machine!!
I scooped many a bushel of ear corn into a Gehl grinder mixer when I was a kid. For several years we powered it with a 70 John Deere; then a 1650 Oliver. We got to enjoy a little diversion by smashing mice that ran out of the corn crib. The ones that got away would be properly dispatched by our little black terrier, Pepper. I see you have one of the "newer" grinders with hydrostatic motor-driven augers rather than mechanical drive ones. Have you yet checked the hammers in the mill to see if they are worn to the point of needing to be turned?
Great video Bill
Thank you Sir!! Thanks for watching!!!
The shirt you were wearing while grinding cow feed with the geil 100
Enjoyed the video Mr Bill
Thank you Sir!! Thanks for stopping by!!
I think they're going to like your recipe.
They ate it like candy!! Goats liked it too!
Looks like you got a good machine that just needs a little TLC. We had a Gehl many years ago, older than yours, that we eventually traded on a New Holland 352, which we sold 24 years ago when I got rid of the cattle. my wife wants me to get some cattle again, so I may be in the market for another one some day.
This one is supposed to be a 1999 model. Just wasn't taken very good care of. Still needs some work but I'll get it there. I have corn and hay so it's much cheaper to make my own!!
I don't know a thing about feed for cows...but it looks like you did a good job.. The only thing I would comment on is the Lowes buckets....On our place we use enough oil that buckets ain't a problem🤣😂🤣... Good video sir!!
I completely understand about the buckets. I did a purge and cleanup a while back and when I needed a bucket I had to buy one. Lol Starting to get a few hydraulic buckets though. Thanks for stopping by!!
Good job 😊
Thanks!! And thanks for watching!!
Gehl made the best grinder/mixers. The thin hammers take less HP, and you don't need a bigger screen for ear corn. Well made and easy to fix. Flip your hammers if they have much radius on them, and you will see an improvement.
Thanks! I know very little about feed grinders, but this one seemed pretty simple. It does a good job and a lot less moving parts than some others. Thanks for watching!!
the hammers can be made by any welding shop with a shear and hole puncher. there just a carbon steel hammer 1/8"-3/16" thick.
What about the tire on the wagon?
Saw a video of s guy who used a wood chipper and it worked awesome
I have a friend who is doing that same thing. I haven't seen it in action, but he says it works great. Thanks for watching!!
Not bad, looks like when you get some of that mechanical stuff worked out you should have a good machine in the end Mr. Bill. 👍🏻 The cows won't be leaving any of that feed behind. Dang things will probably be trying to knock you out of the way to get at that feed. 😁 Merry Christmas
Nothing a little work can't fix! Lol It will be a good machine when I get done with it. Cows loved the feed!! Thanks Ron! Merry Christmas!!
Where'd you get that shirt
It's a lots better than the home made one that me and my Agg teacher made. I always liked making my own feed. And you will to as soon as you get it tuned the way you like it.
I knew the machine needed work when I got it, but maybe a little more than I expected! Lol Nothing I can't fix and I I'm going to love making my own feed. Thanks for stopping by!!
Nice video guys and do a video of you guys feeding your cows
Thank you! I'll see what I can come up with.
@@stinsonfarms6724 no problem my man you have a nice day
Bearing out on the upright auger in the tank
Yes. I have replaced it now. Had several issues that I have corrected since this video. Ran much better the next time I used it. Thanks for watching and commenting!!
Our old Gehl 95 still averages a load a week for us 👍🏻
This one needed a lot of work when I got it, but does a good job now.
Still have grandpas 3020 gas, it wore out 3-4 feedgrinders in its day.
Seems like a good pick up Did your cows like the feed?
A little more work and I think it will be fine. Cows loved the feed!! Thanks!!
Just needs a little lovin
Rebuilt the bottom auger and a couple other things. It's better now. Thanks for watching!!
@@stinsonfarms6724 Nit in terrible shape then.
I'm guessing you have never seen what happens if any part of a person's body gets caught up in a auger or you wouldn't have been sticking your hand anywhere near it, it's really ugly and bad
New subscriber from Canada. Thanks for sharing your lifes work. I never seen anyone grind hay in a mixmill before. How did the cows like that?
Thank you for the support! Have to take it slow with the hay but it will grind it. Cows love it. Thanks for watching!!
I'd love to have a3x sent to 3811 old ruckerville road 40391 Winchester ky with a bill
For my grandson
