Thanks for the entertainment filling the silos is fun. Ever had the shute plug? I've read the comments and if I win the lottery you will have some sent your way for sure but slowly but surely if you fix one thing at a time it will get all done and working right. Keep on your toes and wise to all that is around you. Thanks great video.
You are patient and industrious. Two nice qualities to have. Good video. Saw a header and a couple of wagons go by today. The gentleman pulling them looked amazingly similar to your father. Thumbs up.
And that’s the precise reason my ground drive manure spreader always annoyed me. That stupid kicker that advanced the floor chain was a continuous thorn in my side.
Fascinating never saw a silage wagon with the cover off the side. Been around quite a few when my uncle had the dairy farm careful around the PTO shaft no loose clothing or shoelaces
Do you worry about nitrates with the frosted immature corn. One of the dairies around here several years ago lost several steers to nitrate poisoning from frosted corn silage. Be safe out there we need you.
Wow! I had not heard that about corn. But we use to grow Sudan for hay. After the last cutting in the fall. It might put back out several inches high! Our vet repeatedly warned us that if our cows got out in it. Right after the first hard frost. We almost certainly would have a problem. I remember him saying that Johnson grass also had the same potential.
@@rogercarrico4975 That's prussic acid poisoning, not nitrates. Nitrates can build up in heavily fertilized crops that don't get enough moisture to grow and produce properly. Grasses have a physiological ability to absorb and concentrate nitrates in the plant tissues, so that when rain returns they can put on a growth flush very rapidly. If the nitrates aren't used up through growth, they can remain concentrated to dangerous levels in the forage, and remain there. They don't outgas like prussic acid does when drying down and curing for dry hay, If anything they concentrate further as the moisture evaporates. Of courses they're still present in silage since the moisture largely remains in the plants. Livestock that eat excessive nitrates can die of asphyxiation, because the nitrates build up in the blood and impair the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body tissues. Affected animals will have "chocolate milk blood" as the iron in the hemoglobin, impaired from absorbing oxygen, turns brown. The solution is to have the forage tested, and if it's high in nitrates to "dilute" the nitrates to safe levels by mixing it with low nitrate forage. Prussic acid, or hydrogen cyanide, can be formed in grasses and grass crops after frost injury or a sudden growth flush after a dry spell. Prussic acid is hydrogen cyanide, one of the deadliest substances known. Unlike concentrated nitrates, which will remain in the forage after its cut regardless of how it's put up (baled as dry hay, wrapped as balage, or chopped for silage), hydrogen cyanide will outgas from forages cut and cured for dry hay. It will remain in forages harvested "wet" like wrapped balage and chopped silage, and can remain deadly for a long time. Hydrogen cyanide works by exactly the opposite mechanisms as nitrates, but the affects are the same, and the amounts needed to be deadly are FAR smaller... cattle can die still chewing a single mouthful of contaminated forage! The hydrogen cyanide works by locking oxygen to the hemoglobin in the blood so that it cannot be released to body tissues, causing asphyxiation. The blood of affected animals will be BRIGHT CHERRY RED because it is hyper-saturated with oxygen, but the oxygen cannot separate from the hemoglobin to supply the body. Again, the solution is testing to determine if prussic acid is present, and if it is, the feed is basically unusable, unless it can safely outgas as it dries down. Otherwise it remains deadly. Later!

@@boehmfarm4276 Prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) can build up in frost-damaged grass forages, and will remain in it unless allowed to outgas as the forage dries down (as cut for dry hay). Chopped silage that is harvested at high moisture, can retain the prussic acid in the plant sap in the silage. Usually forage that is allowed to stand for about 5-7 days after a frost event will lose the prussic acid through normal plant metabolism... So long as you're not chopping right after a frost, within that week long window, you SHOULD be okay... but you never really now except to have a sample of the forage LAB TESTED to make sure. Cheap insurance because prussic acid can kill livestock from a SINGLE BITE of contaminated forage... hydrogen cyanide is one of the deadliest substances known to man. Later! OL J R:)
@@lukestrawwalker Thanks for this. Soo very interesting. Does confirm what we were told about Sudan. Hydrogen cyanide! Wow! That is about as poisonous as It gets. I never was a fan of that Sudan. Had to plant it every year. Had to be cut on time. Army worms loved it!! Eventually planted some of that ground to Tifton 44 hybrid Bermuda. It did so well. Talked Daddy into putting it all in tifton. Still have it today. However, seems like the Army worms have taken to it pretty good. As well as most everything else! This year anyway.
Just hate to see you about that PTO shaft without guards, farmers are dragged into these every year and die and tractors are strong and will do a lot of damage as they kill you. None of those who died expected to, I like you, so I'd really like to see you have proper chained PTO guards, as you do cross over them.
Good to see you again I am having issues trying to get Want to be a farmer you tube channel You got any ideas what I am doing wrong would appreciate it. thanks
My dad had Badger wagons and E=Z Flow gravity boxes on our farm when I was a kid,Brings back GREAT memories,Thank you Jacob!!!
You're welcome!
Kids and I are enjoying a Sunday morning treat of a video.
Thanks for sharing Jacob!
You're welcome!
You sure pumping out the videos with no delay awesome nice video Jacob be safe out there
More night night time and rain to catch up with videos
Well I guess it all works out nicely done

Getting it done and that’s all that matters. Enjoy watching the mature equipment working . Thx

That was dad. We worked on beans today. Would have finished, but blew a hydraulic line and oiled the belts good.
I do luv your channel, makes me smile knowing I am not the only farmer running equipment that takes allot of TLC.
jelly just, ME TOO! 😊👍
You're awesome Jacob! Deal with what you have!
Thank you!
Looks like a wagon upgrade is needed. Definitely OSHA approved
Get me some winning lottery tickets and we'll update the whole farm.
@@boehmfarm4276 nah i like this old stuff. Just shows how reliable it is, They don't make them like they used too.
Nice to hear I’m not the only one who says a farmers prayer haha, thanks for all the videos this week!
You're welcome
Ya we use to use the big tractor on the blower till we changed the paddles in it and now we use the H on the blower.Works like a charm now.
The man prayer: I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.
Ahh gotta love the Red Green show!
I love red green!!!
I love your set up! Not everyone can afford new stuff plus the old equipment has more character newest tractor we ran was a 1959 oliver 880!
Character and timeliness can clash.

Our equipment is so similar with the various auction numbers still chalked on.😀😀👍👍
Now that's a blower tractor.👍
I watch you
I watch your channel too!!
We ran a ford 6000 (cause the transmission was shot) on a tall silo. It worked HARD when starting a load 🤣
damn Jacob be safe, the farm can't afford another injury! your in my prayers!
Thank you
LOL good old baler twine saved me plenty of times.
Jacob, nice video again. Be safe please and stay healthy. God bless.
Thank you
She sounds awesome
We never use to turn the pto on the blower tractor off we just turned off the hopper spinner and idled the tractor down
I don't turn the blower off much anymore.
the politically correct phrase I use on my 9-5 job for those qwik fixes is "High Speed Engineering"
Solid
Upgrade time is right, good time for used wagons.
That's what I call " making it happen" plus, videoing it while it does. Be safe while your scurrying around out there!! 👍
It"s a big plus when ya can man handle either the tractor or the impliement when hitching up.
That's why I like using the TC30.

Just let it ferment. And it's been a few weeks since the first frost.

Thanks for watching!
All the TH-cam safety critics are losing there mind over this. Lol. Love it you guys stay safe
I know what I'm doing. It may not lock look safe, cut I've got that in mind.
You wouldn't fix electronics and sensors that way. Old equipement is great!

Gotta put the narrow head back on the chopper. Slow your dad down a little so you can keep up better, lol.
Baler twine fixes every thing top job
This corn silage becomes good cow food.
Do you still have the new cab for the 1466? Can we get an update on the 2+2 please?
Cab is still here. 2+2 waiting on winter to finish.
@@boehmfarm4276 Thanks for the reply.
I thought the Farmer's prayer was "Now, grow damn it..."
Would it be a big job to make fold down spouts for your other wagons?
Yes
Did you get 2 +2 Bach together
It's waiting for winter to get finishing touches.
You should put the tc on the blower! That would make for a good video! Lol
We'll do that for a the first week of forking out silage so there's good air up top.
@@boehmfarm4276 the tc30 will run the blower?
You should do more videos with the skid loader

It's not spelled so formally. I think it's wannabe farmer.
@@boehmfarm4276 thanks
That 1066 looks a little out of balance?
what ever happened to Brad? he got replaced by Nick somehow and I missed it
Great Video!!!
Love the farmers prayer👍 and baler twine can nearly fix anything.
What camera do you use?
GoPro hero 7 black
@@boehmfarm4276 Ok thanks very much
Looking for a better quality camera with a better mic and your videos quality is what i’m looking for

Just waiting for winter to finish.
Looks like the old ford needs an overhaul
It never quits and starts quick when freezing.

Is this video from the 1950’s?
Commodity prices aren't far off.

Go back a couple videos about fixing the chopper head. That's why.

Rember green paint cursed
Exactly
👍👌🇨🇦❤
That’s a good way to loose a finger. I know it always looks worse when watching someone else. I’ve done the too.
I think you need different boxes
I need a lot of things. Gladly taking donations.
👍👏👏👏
so many safety rules broken in this video........
Do you guys milk if you do you should do a milking video
No milking here.
stupid cows? cows are smarter then most humans :P
