Every time you put a round bale out move your rings around to different areas, that’s what we do and they never get a spot to worn out during the winter.
Chris, Just want to say that I appreciate your effort in keeping cuss words out of your videos. I watch all your videos with my one-year-old son - he'll stop playing with toys when you come on the TV! It's tough to find good, clean content to watch these days so I just wanted to thank you for doing what you do, and more importantly, the way you do it.
2 homes, 1 driveway is over 1/4 mile winding up side of mountain, the other home is over 1 mile from paved road, just got my tractor delivered 2 days ago, but has been an ice storm since it was delivered. I am going to look at a small dump truck hopefully tomorrow if weather lets me, I hope I might can use tractor to make a little side money? I got a 35hp 4wd MF with loader & backhoe, but I have a lot of equipment when I did small farm about 12 years ago, I dont have a scraper, but I do have box blade and most small scale farm implements
I see you spent Sunday in my neighborhood, I recognized both places you were at. I am surprised the land owner didn’t check you out at the first place, he is a cousin of mine, 80 years old and very inquisitive about everything going on in that area, drives a blue Nissan Titan pickup. As far as your cow and hay situation, you have a “catch 22”. When feeding bales in a feeder, they waste some and make a mess around the feeder. When rolling out bales, they waste some, lay in it and it will very probably kill the grass it is rolled on. Trust me, I have had cows for a long time and I have tried it both ways.
Need to replace the side link with a tilt cyl. Maybe get you a land plane from EverythingAttachments. The tilt cyl allows you to work the attachment to crown the drive and adjust it on the fly. Even work with the box blade. Lot's of folk get the top link kit, too. But for working road the side link cyl is golden.
That's what I did. Have both box blade and land plane. Use the land plane a lot more. Does a better job faster. Box blade can haul material better though.
I've watched many of the Everything Attachments videos and they seem to make very heavy duty equipment. I believe they are based in NC, so it wouldn't be too far a drive if Chris wants to get an item or even look at some of their stuff.
This reminds me a lot of when I was a young boy and someone would come by ever few months and level our driveway out. All the country roads were gravel then. Great memories.
Hi Chris if you have aux hyd on back of kioti can put hyd top link makes adjustments for box blade or anything on back. Works good on my tractor can adjust from cab instead of getting on and off .works good on mine .
Chris, curious about your thoughts of the single piston on the bucket of the backhoe rather than the usual double piston like on the tractor. Thanks for the learning and the living vicariously through you. Blessings Jim
You might think about pouring a concrete pad for bale and water feeder, then just scrape it off. I always thought they wasted too much with un-rolled bales, esp if it's good hay. They tend to lay in it and everything else.
You ever sit down ? I mean to relax a day or two. I know you get nowhere if you do but,, damn dude! I remember when I was about 7 or so I used to go help on the neighbors dairy farm. I saw me a huge ass pile of dirt and decided to climb it! It wasn’t dirt! 🤬. Well be safe out! ✌🏻👋from Va. 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
You may think chaining down the tractor is boring (you edited it out) But for some it may be good education on how to properly chain up a load. Stay Safe.
One item for the want list a sand or water drum roller to pull behind the tractor for a much better roll in job. Plus I thought you had a small grader that would of worked nice. Electric gate opener with a disable swith when your not using it on a regular basis. Check craigslist for a tow behind antique manure spredder and Refurbish it.
I think TH-cam is dragging behind on notifications. I watched this video last night and just now got a notification of it being available! LetsDig18 is one channel I don’t need reminding of anyway :) Keep on a diggin’.
if that rear blade rolled over and t boned the truck tail gate, we all would cry. i have a tip=while the quick connectors handles are up, mark the bucket, ect with white marker paint so you can line up the handles with the paint for a easy hook up.
Hey Chris here’s a thought for you by yourself an old dump truck and just keep it parked by the fence throw up one time down one time back just a thought make your life a lot easier
Nice Vid Chris, Okay, I will put my 2 cents worth in on the hay feeder. Forget moving it . Just pour a 8" thick 20'x20' pad and put the feeder in the middle. No moving it around and messing up the rest of the field. Put a 6" lip on the edge of one end so you can scoop up the dung with the tractor and you are done. The cattle will love it and keeps them from getting hoof and mouth disease.
It’s just like puttin lipstick on a pig this time of year Chris lol 😝 I hate mud The first driveway looked like it had nice material on it ! Good job 👍
Would the grader work better there to build a crown and clean up the edge ridge? Just curious. How much does crushed road base gravel cost there per ton? Its called class 5 here last I got was $7/ton plus delivery(NW ND). It is what the county uses on the gravel roads for surfacing. Enjoy your videos. Happy New Year Chris.
As someone with ctl and a tractor what is your preferred tool carrier? I was dead set on a harley rake for pto of 60hp tractor I just got. The tractor has power angle plow on front and 3pt blower on back to do snow(I should of just got a CTL with snow tracks but it seemed counter intuitive to not get tires). The machine didn't get 25hrs put on it yet(no snow). Now I'm going crazy because I know we are getting a CTL or skid steer this spring.
yeah my short driveway is gravel too wich hate it and every spring needs be bladed wich im thinking about getting a buddy of mine to pave it wich cost me $1,100 wich isnt to bad
@@michaelmactavish1728 if you are getting pot holes, often in the same place, you'll want to rip em up before regrading, the pot holes develop a hard bowl shape, so whatever you fill em with washes back out in a hurry... a good gravel driveway should last a couple years with only minor maintenance, really just a quick blade off to remove the high spots, and occasional re dresses with fresh gravel, $1100 for pavement is super cheap though... think I got a quote on my 2 car driveway at $7000
@@michaelmactavish1728 so your using a 24' snow plow to grade a driveway? That seems less then smart or effective, spend the $1500 on a box blade with ripper shanks and do it right...
Does that round bale feeder need to have a trailing axle/wheels and a hitch so that you can move around the paddock,so that the cattle don't cut up the ground so much.
A HYDRAULIC CYLINDER IN PLACE OF THE TOP LINK GIVES FINE CONTROL OF THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF THE RIPPERS AND THE CUTTING EDGE. WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT FOR MANY 3 PT IMPLEMENTS.
It would help if you both could angle your blade on the rear and pull the gravel from the side of the road on the last job and pulled it up into the middle of the road and leveled it out some.
I thought that you had a Kabota tractor. How do you like your Kiotti tractor? It seems to have ample power and it seems smooth. I'm curious if you had to have one or the other would a skid steer around the same size/ price do more work or the tractor?
2000' driveway... 520 tons of rock, just for a base coarse... double that if you want it to last 1040 ton... out here that would be $14560 just for the rock... not to mention the 74 trucks to haul it... less if you have SC axle rules and to many tires to count...
If you were to get your hands on a good gannon or kw blade you would be amazed at the performance difference of the blade. You will easily do jobs you could never do before.
I see you have the same crappy type of box scraper that I have with the single sided hitch attachment. Pins bend when you pull on it. My Kioti DK 40se has been working good for several years now.
You can find a good poop spreader on Craigslist for under a thousand. I bought one for $450.00 but had to put about $400.00 into it before I could use it. Good luck.
Your last video was really good, working on that steep grade showed how good you are with that excavator. I would like to see how you cleaned up that hill side. It looked like it got pretty tore up.

The nice thing about unrolling the hay is you can feed only what they will eat. Far less waste. However, they wont eat it very well if it rains on it.
The manure and hay mix will make great compost for planting once it breaks down.

Chris, that could also be used as a compost pile if you needed it for other purposes 😉
That driveway looked good compared what it looked like the start with . That tractor has been getting a workout here lately
good tutorial on box blade work..nice

Often it does not matter what machines you use.
What matters is the knowledge of the machine operator.
Very nice again three jobs with the tractor today 👍👌⚠️

You just need a simple 3 point hitch or quick attach roller, and you will be all set for those little driveway jobs!
Good job on all 3 jobs. Hard to fix a hole with not much to put in it but it looks good.

You need an hydraulic top link. It makes a world of difference
You need to get a hydraulic third link then you can control your cutter angle. With the right angle you can spread rock a lot easier.

The fun of owning farm animals isn't it great 😎👍🐂🐃🦃🦃🐖🐖
How much would you charge for work like this?
you think as i do if the back blade falls over its gona hit my truck i was thinking you should flip it over
2 buckets of tractor = 1 backhoe bucket, 1 scoop with the excavators from you = 2 scoops from normal people < snickers >

Its a big as it needs to be, cant hardly keep up now
I got same tractor love it other than there wiring is a lil different
I have a box blade like yours and a lots more from lowerys in boaz, Alabama. its about 20 miles from my farm. happy new year.
wheels on the feeder on and move it around the field so it doesn't fill one spot with crap.
