Thanks a bunch for figuring and showing the math that's involved with the sale of the grain. Realistic and true numbers are nice to see. I'm not a farmer myself, but in the sales market for the farming industry. I enjoy watching how you guys go about your business.
Yesterday I was on a tractor ride ,We started in Sherrill Iowa went through Dubuque, Dickyville Potosi,Cassville, took the ferry back to Iowa. We were about Three miles from the Rockville farm.
I was pulling our gravity wagon last fall and the drawbar came out of the tractor. Talk about a oh shit moment. I jammed the hitch between the duals and got it to stop just before it went into the ditch. No damage to anything or anyone. Thought about buying a lottery ticket after that!
my dad used to pull three gravity wagons behind a three-quarter ton International with the gravity wagons you can change your alignment on those steering wheels and he found it better to run than towed out a little if you tow them in they'll really get to swinging and of course they get loose overtime but you put your tighter wagons in the front and they all loosey-goosey in the rear
Just a thought, but you might want to check the "toe-in" on the wagon. Toe-in contributes to steering stability, i.e. helps control the "wobbles" you're experiencing. Keep the duals while roading grain is my opinion. You need all the tractor stability and braking power you can get .
You or Travis mentioned buying a bigger wagon. I think that would be a great idea. If nothing else you could save trips over the road. What about the 4020 for the grain cart or maybe it still has the cultivator on it.
If the wobble becomes persistent, load the cart slightly heavier in the front. Just like an arrow, a dart, etc., the rear will obediently trail the fron more consistently.
Why don't you pull two gravity boxes hitched together?? That tractor's got plenty of beans and brakes to handle it (even with yall's hills, on the main road at least) and you'd get done a lot faster with a lot less roading wear on your tractor tires. I've pulled 700 or so bushels on a pair of gravity boxes out of the field and up the road to the bins in Indiana for the brother-in-law during harvest, with a Case 2290 tractor that's a lot smaller than that Deere... handled it just fine. He put the bigger boxes with about 1000 bushels of capacity on the 2390 Case tractor, so I know that Deere would handle it. Semi capacity without the semi (but a lot slower than a semi of course... LOL:)) Just wondering... Later! OL J R :)
You should do a video on overall farm finances if that isn't too personal for you. Or don't use your finances in particular but give a rundown of what a generic farm's looks like
A dual axel 7 yard dump trailer with brakes and side extensions would also haul skid steer to field.. Dump feature saves rental to hay. Great for logs and limbs to chip and mill for Travis barn. August 19th farm day registration updates. Ever consider hiring Jamie and Brittany to expand grazing via Joel Salitin and Greg Judy grazing practices? Check out Justin Rhodes channel. Dad quits Chick-fil-A to become a farmer. Someone needs to build an Internet hub for pasture raised products connecting buyer to seller around all of the regulations. Sweden. Richard Perkins on utube..model. Seven Sons usa. Be great to see hog panel chicken tractors that double as green house prep gardens and pigs in the woods. Hog panels would be easily used in the calf barn. I was a red wagon driver and loved it. The taste freeze was on the same grounds as the coop.
Big ag model with grain prices deflated put non corporate farms out of business. Hire a permaculture and or rotational grazing intern graduate from Joel Salitin farm in Virginia and let him/her rotational mob graze adding animals you don't want to manage. Let them help set up a direct to customer marketing link. Factor acreage rent at highest years return and share profits 50 50. Send cousin to internship. The handsome one or at least he is convinced. lol Travis could use swayles. and Stone overflows to stop rebuilding driveway. Ducks are a hoot and can be herded. Any orchard or garden plans? A,dump trailer is also a great produce and product display. Next year why not raise the chicken and beef for farm day?
On average, how many cents per bushel is the difference between Dubuque and the feed store, when everything is all figured in? I'm not asking how much you make or trying to get any private information, by the way. Just how much can it vary from one buyer to another?
Dustin Brumfield organic labeling is a paperwork and red tape nightmare, not to mention costly as you have to pay someone to audit you to prove you are doing what you say you are.
trailers are a bitch when they start to fishtail.. i was always told to ease down on the throttle if they start to do it. but then everyone has there own way to correct it.....
At 200 bushels per acre (pretty typical yield) about 1.75 acres... with 300 bushel yields (pretty common on better soils in a lot of areas) a little over one acre... Later! OL J R :)
You gotta punch it when it starts wobbling to straighten it out if pulling with a vehicle. Use the brakes and your fucked. Though tractors cannot “punch” it.
I don't know what they saved by not trucking it, I don't know his fuel costs and what a guy would charge to haul it 3 miles each way... I'm just from Potosi and know where shit is so I knew the distances
You are being very very inefficient with the straight up and down auger you should put it at a slight angle of no more than 45 degrees from your unload he would increase your outflow and unload time from say 30 minutes to 15 minutes max
Why do alot of americans still use the dolly type trailers? I dont see any advantage to it besides its less stress on the tractor but it isnt that great off a difference when you look at the advantages a normal trailer has over the dolly.
Yota's are life Because there is a few millions older gravity wagons in America and we don't need hydralics to hook up the wahon just back up, drop the pin and go
Midwest Allis Fan I agree. Gravity wagons are the most efficient way of transporting grain with tractors. You don't have to hook up a million things. Just drop the pin in the drawbar and go. And no hydraulics required to unload. Just put a door down and spin a wheel and you're empty.
Ross W. Not really though, yes you may have to hook on hydraulics with a normal trailer but look at the advantages, good brakes, can generally put a better load on them, heck of a lot more stable and you dont even have to get out to unload.
Derrick Blunier if I had to guess that at the time in past videos on the rest of the story, that they were using it at the time to ether rake hay or culavate corn. If not that tractor may be geared even lower than the the tractor he used. Also if I were him I would have felt a lot safer with the bigger faster tractor with more hp and better brakes.
Thanks a bunch for figuring and showing the math that's involved with the sale of the grain. Realistic and true numbers are nice to see.
I'm not a farmer myself, but in the sales market for the farming industry. I enjoy watching how you guys go about your business.
Thanks for sharing the numbers on selling corn, I am a non farmer and have always wondered what those numbers are, keep farming !
That trucker just didn't want to be caught behind you..I understand both sides tho, tough circumstances sometime...great info and video...thanks !!

I live in sherrill

Great channel, love your attitude and your take on farming!
Hey Ryan u guys should get a strait truck it would make it a lot easier 👍🚜
Really enjoy the channel thank you for taken the time and energy to make these videos. Keep it up
the red bull truck went flying by he of had wings lol
I don't think it's weird! Cool and very unique, but never weird! It's a way of Living to! Nice singing to! LOL!

Nice that you can sell some close by
Great vid Ryan Smile More God Bless Stay Safe Kuster's 👍👍
I love that tractor

Best intro ever
i like how you show the cost and stuff
I would judge for you singing while waiting in line... but I would be doing the exact same thing.
That is the smallest unloading grate i have ever seen
Yeah they must like to sweep/shovel a lot LOL:) OL J R :)
Do a time-lapse of the gravity box emptying out... that'd be some cool footage... :) OL J R :)
Waiting in line
Nice video, love those John Deere tractors. Someone commenting on Travis channel said your father also liked the blue ones, very interesting.
George Hallden John deer are amazing!
Are vermin a problem for you Ryan, or does Rocket and the gang take care of that end of things , also happy 4th of July to you and all your family:):)
I enjoyed that. Keep up the great content!
How many times do you think you have been told you need a truck?? lol
You could buy a bobtail grain truck with tire savings and be a lot safer too.
5:05 Red bull gives you wings!
great singing
When the price is right that stuff could be classified as gold nuggets.
The Littl red wagon says to all in The comment "Have a good day"
Sorry for My english
do you have more than one wagon and if you do why not pull two because we pull two during the fall
The bikers were staring at your "chopper tractor", two small wheels on the front, four huge wheels on the back.
"Chopper" means two entirely different things to farmers and bikers. Nice play on words.
Matthew Hoag a chopper is a motorcycle
I know. Two meanings, as above.

Hahaha nice video man your farms awesome!
can you make a video on how to remove the duals off the 4640
Jeremy Smith u undo bolts😧
Can you show us all of your tractors?
Tell Travis in this video that the mountain dew truck went by at 3:37
Does the feed store test the moisture content of each load?
DONALD DRAGO no
My grandpa never takes the duals off the 4555
this is some good video. about real farming
need to accelerate if swaying you will then pull it straight. Then apply brakes and slow down
do you still use your harvistore system
Shoulda hauled that in with the Dmax
Where's your farm at
Thats huh,huh,huh Staying Aliveeeee
How much hours had 4640 actually? He look's very good condition!
Cant the Denali do it? Or would it be too hard to watch the "wobble?"
On average, how many cents per bushel is the difference between Dubuque and the feed store, when everything is all figured in? I'm not asking how much you make or trying to get any private information, by the way. Just how much can it vary from one buyer to another?
How much did you get a bushel
What state do you work in/live in
Wisconsin
Are there brakes on the wagon?
335 ish?
Hey Ryan, just wondering do you all do any organic farming? If not have you ever considered it?
they don't do any organic farming and travis said on his channel he won't do it
Ok, thanks just asking.
Dustin Brumfield organic labeling is a paperwork and red tape nightmare, not to mention costly as you have to pay someone to audit you to prove you are doing what you say you are.
trailers are a bitch when they start to fishtail.. i was always told to ease down on the throttle if they start to do it. but then everyone has there own way to correct it.....
lol your face at the end of the video 😂😂😂 little editing mistakes
saved 80 dollars,so how many hours did it take to haul those loads? I would guess labor for something like that would be 20 dollars an hour.
Lol....good video!
how long is grain like that good for if you said it was from 2015
+k9officer09 We built the bin in 2015, the corn is from 16. Corn can stay good up to two years or even more under the right conditions
If you have to run your hazard lights all the time on the road... how do you indicate where your going? Doesn't seem particularly safe to me
MobManiac most tractors even when you have the emergency blinkers going when you hit the turn signals switch to that side only.
Chase Howard aaah oke, that makes sense! Thanks for the anwser 👍🏻
Around how many acres does it take to get 366 bushels?
At 200 bushels per acre (pretty typical yield) about 1.75 acres... with 300 bushel yields (pretty common on better soils in a lot of areas) a little over one acre...
Later! OL J R :)
Which camera do you use?
My cousin lives in Wisconsin
Can you pull the wagon with you truck?
+Cary Stone Could but wouldn't, a loaded wagon could push the truck right down the driveway and into the road.
9:08 . Need a little wd 40 on that thing
how many hours is on the 4640
👍👍
It is just upsetting that the prices are so low
Do You know what väderstad is?
Rasmus Wikman this isn't farming simulator
it is still a real company
Joshua Posey No it's not but finnish Multiva, and swedish Väderstad make the best S-spike harrows, cultivators and trailers etc. I've ever used
Jami Laari Well he is here in America and we don't use your European brands
nice name bro same name is me but good video
Write the wagon's tare weight on it and skip that second weigh in.
You gotta punch it when it starts wobbling to straighten it out if pulling with a vehicle. Use the brakes and your fucked. Though tractors cannot “punch” it.
could you use it pickup to pull it
the lighter the pulling vehicle, the more dangerous it is if you have to brake fast
that shouldn't matter cuz you can get more loads in a day with the truck
Is that $0.17 per bushel that you saved by not trucking it and what's the distance?.
like 3 miles from their farm to the feed store
what about the other part of the question?
I don't know what they saved by not trucking it, I don't know his fuel costs and what a guy would charge to haul it 3 miles each way... I'm just from Potosi and know where shit is so I knew the distances
No, filming yourself is not what makes you weird.
why you don't have a big truck
Travis has said consistently that they'll eventually get one, but not anytime soon.
because they are small farmers and they other reason is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ive wondered, even a used dump truck would save much time and wear, from bringing from field to grain bin, then bin to sale point. It all adds up
Plus its also a write off...
Sicktrickintuner Even write-offs need to cash flow.
You are being very very inefficient with the straight up and down auger you should put it at a slight angle of no more than 45 degrees from your unload he would increase your outflow and unload time from say 30 minutes to 15 minutes max
The choke point isn't the vertical auger, it's the horizontal auger under the bin.
I'm such a big fan and was wondering if you could start doing shout outs for notification squad
Logan Delucio This isnt some over enthusiastic gaming channel...
Logan Delucio no! grow your own
Does the A/C work in your 4640?
Yes
You could just pull it with your truck.
my name is shawn and I'm 14 years old 😂
What state do you live in
Sandy Bakeis Wisconsin
I bet the squirrels and rats/mice like to hang around your grain bin and eat what gets dropped on the ground.
People do that a lot here in Missouri because they don't want to follow a slow tractor, you are right they are idiots
Why do alot of americans still use the dolly type trailers? I dont see any advantage to it besides its less stress on the tractor but it isnt that great off a difference when you look at the advantages a normal trailer has over the dolly.
Yota's are life I always wonder that to I still have no clue

you can hook up as many as you want in a row drive them to a field drop them in 10 seconds and be on with your day
Don't u get paid after u deliver the grain he's selling it
Want to see a dolly trailer at work? go to the airport
Damn 354
I take it that a semi couldn't go through there and unload
Get a grain truck 🌾
buy him a grain truck
BrinkME ok he can have mine
Tuesday 3:00 est
Were jamie
Mtn dew anyone
you could have used the 4020 why did'nt you?????
Derrick Blunier if I had to guess that at the time in past videos on the rest of the story, that they were using it at the time to ether rake hay or culavate corn. If not that tractor may be geared even lower than the the tractor he used. Also if I were him I would have felt a lot safer with the bigger faster tractor with more hp and better brakes.
Your videos are so awesome I wish my Chanel was as good.......toms gardens 114
WHAT BIKERS NEVER SEEN A FARMER BEFORE
I forgot to mention my name is Owen I'm 11 years old 😁
Reggie Radio did you really tell an 11 year old to F off? What on earth is wrong with you?
Heaven Sent Farms Grass Fed Beef don't nobody care
Why not use a proper truck and trailer? This seems so wasteful
+tezkr Well, we don't have one, and they don't have enough storage for a semi load anyway.
