Little tip, get one of those valves that you lower the whole bag on to attach it. Then all you have to do is lift it up over the planter and open and shut the valve to fill it with seed. More control and no spillage. Love this channel.
yeah but isn't the reason he's cutting bag is because has no machine to lift high and far enough, adding something to bottom of bag will increase the problem.
What you need for your seed is a probox with a slide. We get seed in those tote bags and then just empty into a probox. From there it’s a lot easier to control And you could do everything with your skid loader and pallet fork.
I make sure I carry an adjustable wrench and a piece of wire (coat hanger type) on the drill tractor. Sometimes the seed treatment has clumps in it, sometimes a bit of straw can clog a boot. No use pointing fingers, just get it going and get it planted! Great video!
Eric love all your videos. More cows please, lol. I hope all is well with you and your family 🙏🏻 Very educational videos… please never stop. I always look forward to your videos.
Could also weld some two square steel tube together and make a pallet. Get a sheet of marine grade plywood or ¼" plastic with a hole in the center to put on top. Only problem is, once that bottom flap is opened, it can't be easily shut.
Question about something I’ve never seen on your channel. What do you do with a cow that dies while on the farm? Love the content keep up the good work.
Hey Eric, if you put a hole in the center of your skid and pull the center down through your skid your skid loader should able to reach to fill the drill or that's what I found out that works best I enjoy the video
Another great video Eric. Your seed drill Jerry-Rig works great. Happy to see you wearing a mask & thinking safety. Your lungs will thank you as you progress in life. So let me understand. You didn’t backup the drill. You & your dad the only ones seeding. Hmmm who might have done it? 🤣 Love the relationship you & your dad have. Wishing you & your family continued health & success
Cut a hole in the center of a pallet, then use your forklift and the center spout. How we used to do it. That gets your forks at the bottom of the tote instead of the top.
Hey Eric, this might be a dumb idea but what about using a commercial vacuum to vacuum up the seed from the totes and have it discharge into the drill hopper? This might negate the need to lift the tote with the forklift. Way cheaper than a telehandler too. As always, love your videos and content.
Absolutely love your videos. My family and I have watched them all and some of them multiple times. From what I gather, you are a fellow Christian and I love to see that! Keep the videos coming. And, where did you get those sunglasses? I’ve been looking for a good pair like that for a long time.
If your seed boots are worn to much they will plug if the soil is even alitte tacky. Had the same problem with my 750 drill, plugged boots every couple rounds, until i replaced my seed boots.
On a livestock farm or dairy farm such as his work is never done there is work all 365 days of the year , when he's not doing field work he's taking care of the cows or doing machinery maintenance.
They make a device that you can put into the bottom of the bag that has a valve, they also make spots. You put the device on ground, lower bag onto it and go. Called Big Bag Dispenser FLEDBAG® Original
Do you ever do soil tests in the Fall before applying manure? I read that phosphorus availability will increase more than was applied after manure in Fall. I guess you would have to test Fall and Spring to test whether that works in your soil.
Cattle have 4 stomach compartments. The monitoring boluses are too big and heavy to pass through to the 2nd compartment, and sit at the bottom of the first compartment, called the rumen.
You know every time you mention triticale I think of the original Star Trek and Tribbles. Just a hint, don't feed your tribbles triticale, you end up with a bunch more tribbles...Can't milk a tribble, I think...
Hi Eric I'm from ozbekiston I've been following you for a month now.I look at you with interest because I am interested in this.I'm picking up a mug of vidio rollers taking you.Thank you . I want to see what you have done with your father.
You know how to weld, Get some C Chanel the same with as the forks, Make it as long as you need to get the tote where you want it, On one end of the C Chanel weld a strap to make a loop that the fork can fit through, Now you have longer forks, The longer forks will slide off in a minute
good method for loading up the seeder. I cringe every time I see one of those big totes being lifted by the top straps. I know they are designed to handle the load, and they obviously do, I just can't' get over the fact that they are just woven material, and literally sewed together, but hold 1000lb or more. Great video as always.
Eric really wants a telehandler
Who doesn't?
Y'all do a fine job of keeping the dairy up and equipment. Hats off to y'all
I never get bored dropping in to the farm. Cheers all 🇨🇦

What valve are you talking about because I want one…
I really appreciated the up close of how the seeding takes place. It helps me understand better what you contend with during this time.
What you need for your seed is a probox with a slide. We get seed in those tote bags and then just empty into a probox. From there it’s a lot easier to control And you could do everything with your skid loader and pallet fork.
Just amazing what dairy Farmers go through to produce milk 🍼
I make sure I carry an adjustable wrench and a piece of wire (coat hanger type) on the drill tractor. Sometimes the seed treatment has clumps in it, sometimes a bit of straw can clog a boot. No use pointing fingers, just get it going and get it planted! Great video!
Looking beautiful out in the fields, an open canvas for the next crop. Thanks for sharing.
Eric love all your videos. More cows please, lol. I hope all is well with you and your family 🙏🏻
Very educational videos… please never stop. I always look forward to your videos.
For extra height to lift the seed totes, you could put a couple pieces of 4 x 4 or 4 x 6 on top of the forks. Great videos!
Great tip.
Not much room in the pickup hoops

I see great troubleshooting and regular dairy farm activities! I love it!
Praying for good growing weather. Thanks Eric.
Hello all the way from Malaysia. Love all your vids. Learning so much about farming in your part of the world. Thank you and good job.
Nice job on your farm skills, your video's give an insight into what the agricultural business is all about!
Pallet fork extension. Really cheap to make plus very useful on our farm.
Question about something I’ve never seen on your channel. What do you do with a cow that dies while on the farm?
Love the content keep up the good work.
For the seed boots if they get clogged up you can take a price of high tensile wire up there and it unclogs it pretty fast and easy
Boy that ground looks hard. I hope you get some moisture on it.
Buy a set of pallet fork extensions for skid steer. Relatively cheap and easy to put on and take off.
Great video and the music is outstanding love it.
I never thought about slitting the bags! We have done some creative things loading Supersacks, but not that.👍
It will interesting to see how well the solar panels work & how long of a payback period before you recoup your investment back
Hey Eric, if you put a hole in the center of your skid and pull the center down through your skid your skid loader should able to reach to fill the drill or that's what I found out that works best I enjoy the video
Way to go, well organized, a lot of work, thanks for sharin'....

I'm not going to blame anyone... DAD!!!.
+Eric, think about an old concrete chute cut to size to reach the other side of the bin for the Triticale
Great idea on that pit thats always to dry.
You should get a Fledbag valve, or another tote bag valve that pierces through the bottom.
you guys should get a demo with a jcb teleskid
Awesome Video and Much Love as Always 🐄 Man!!!
Cut a hole in the center of a pallet, then use your forklift and the center spout. How we used to do it. That gets your forks at the bottom of the tote instead of the top.
You could try modifying one of the pallets so the bag can stay on the pallet and still use the bottom spout and skid steer.
You are a busy guy thanks for always taking the time to make us a video with all that is going on im sure its not easy

Thanks, I get packs of them on Amazon. They are safety sunglasses, about $2 a piece.
Great content, never a dull moment on your farm for sure, all of you work your butts off.
Love Farming...
Watched all videos from first till now
The openers like to plug from wet spots as well
Another great video Tengen
Rinse and repeat, a farmers life
really Awesome video Eric. Love all of them. Thank you to your dad also. Thank you buddy
Filled and emptied many of the Super Sacks
Would you ever fit a separator? Would solve the problem of needing to agitate the slurry stores thats for sure
If your seed boots are worn to much they will plug if the soil is even alitte tacky. Had the same problem with my 750 drill, plugged boots every couple rounds, until i replaced my seed boots.
The work never ends...
Any type of work never end, we are in circles of death 😂
Yep, but on a farm there’s work and then there are some things you do while you’re resting.
Work on a farm never ends
Man ends but work never ends
On a livestock farm or dairy farm such as his work is never done there is work all 365 days of the year , when he's not doing field work he's taking care of the cows or doing machinery maintenance.
You should try forklift extension next to put seeds in.
get a pair of fork extensions
Who would ever figure 50000 people would watch you playing w manure !!!! 😂
Have you considered hoisting the totes up by some strong beam, such as in your garage, and backing the seed box under them
How much acres do they seed. It always fascinating to see the land they are working with.
I don't know who you get your tritical seed from, but my seed guys have pro box seed tenders make that job much easier.
LOVE the music link.....
Get or make some fork extenders for the forklift. Save some.time and labor hopefully
They make a device that you can put into the bottom of the bag that has a valve, they also make spots. You put the device on ground, lower bag onto it and go. Called Big Bag Dispenser FLEDBAG® Original
Good to have it in the ground isn't it? Take care Eric. Be safe.
How much manure do the fields get? The maximum allowed?
Do you ever do soil tests in the Fall before applying manure? I read that phosphorus availability will increase more than was applied after manure in Fall. I guess you would have to test Fall and Spring to test whether that works in your soil.
You should just get a gantry crane wide enough to fit your seeder under and that should solve your problem. Alot cheaper than a telehandler too.
I am glad I don't have Smell-O-Vision!
get a old boat motor to mix up the pit .
On time my sister backed up with the drill in the ground…. She plugged half the drill. Needless to say that didn’t go over well.
How much do one of those big white sacks full of seed cost? ❤,Robin
Winter triticale is currently around $0.45 to $0.55 a pound, so they probably paid somewhere around $900 to $1,100 for a 1 ton tote.
Wonder if they feed a lot of soybean meal for protein
Hey eric are you going to do any fall tillage?
6:31 Know exactly how it is. I have to unclog the vacuum cleaner at least once a month! :)
Can´t you just take the skid steer and lift the bags up on the pallet? That way you could reach up high enough.
Or put a used loader on one of your tractors!
How do those monitoring pills stay in the cows stomach without them passing them through?
Cattle have 4 stomach compartments. The monitoring boluses are too big and heavy to pass through to the 2nd compartment, and sit at the bottom of the first compartment, called the rumen.
you've mentioned a wheeloader in a few videos now, might be time?!?
Just wondering why you don't have any Red Holsteins.
You need a seed box to load seed into your dril.
🇨🇦
👍 🥛
Do you have your own chopper
No, they hire a custom crew.
Greart
👍👍❤🐮
For silage?
Yes
ar5e your solar panels operational yet...
So the smaxtec stays trapped in the stomach because of its length? diameter? Just curious.
ا اريد السفر الي بلدكم من اجل المساعده ف عمليه الزراعه ان امكن وشكرا
Haven't watched in awhile.
Hii bro
Build you an old fashioned engine hoist instead of destroying all those tots🤦♂️
Spoiled little snot
How you figure?
He probably works circles around you.
I'm not going to blame anyone... DAD!!!. :)
Instagram handle
He doesn't have one.
Half expected you to pull a coke or chocolate milk out of that last seed tote, oh well, maybe next time.
You know every time you mention triticale I think of the original Star Trek and Tribbles. Just a hint, don't feed your tribbles triticale, you end up with a bunch more tribbles...Can't milk a tribble, I think...
definitely watching this content while playing FS22 ... lolol

Great video brother stay safe from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲
How about an update on the solar power system ? .
I swear I can smell the manure
Great video, have considered injection of manure on a few acres
Well, farms run on augers. Looks like you need a small auger for loading seeds.
Use to run aerator over the ground to let it soak in better. Thanks young man!

I understand that with Triticale it can be made into flour and eaten by humans. Cool 😎
Just a thought maybe build a load out stand that can either hold a tote or container with a chute for filling the seeder
