I bet your Dad and Granddad spent a lot of time in that building. I guess it was bittersweet for your Dad. Livestock farming is a different deal and it takes a different kind of farmer to be able to do it. I guess you and Travis haven't completely away from livestock with Travis' cows.

Fun wrecking stuff with the skiddy

Hey Ryan, That ground rod is copper clad steel. You had your thumb on the end with the steel showing. Stick a magnet on it and it'll hold on. HTH 57

and finally the familiar sound of a german stihlsaw! greetings from germany felix

The building was "all done". It has outlived any use full purpose for these farmers. Reclaim and re purpose are admirable intentions. Unfortunately, what happens is the folks who say that "we" should re purpose the material are not participatory in the farmers process of reclamation. They exclaim the importance of preservation but don't get off their butts to see through their mission. Bear in mind the farmer is concerned about his time, expense, and liability, and them other guys can't bother themselves with such "details". The farmer decides to get it done, while preserving what materials he deems worthwhile. And so goes it.

New title: How to tear down a barn you are emotionally attached to but have no reasonable need to keep

Why did you tear a perfectly good building? You could have used it for any other porpuse like storing equipment, machines, seed etc, raising hogs, chickens...

New ground rods are copper covered steel. Very little copper.

Hopefully making a nice shop for equipment repairs.

what are you going to build from where you tore it down

Better run a heavy duty magnet between the hog house and the burn pit so you don't be fixing a lot of flat tires.

How many hours are on that bobcat? I have a 773 turbo bobcat with 2600 hours, its an absolute beast

you make me tired .... watching this 🐶🐶

up she goes more like it

Im guessing that their going to put a drying an wet bin up!!

what number is the tractor pulling the spreeder

there is some good firewoodlol

Loading the spreader with money!!

why would you wast all that good wood

You remind me of John Schneider

im not going to comment about safety because i would do all of these things too.

Are we going to get a bonfire video? I guess the pyromaniac in me would like to see you light it up some night. If your city sleeker neighbors are anything like my brothers they will be calling the fire department all night.

You wouldn't really want to rebuild with that would, too much effort, taking the nails out would take a fair while and with that would you wouldn't want to use it because it would be pretty weak and rotted

The audio, lol

you stopped cows?

the ground rod is clad it's Copper Brass mix over Steel not really worth much other than a ground rod

u could use d wood for d fire

I'm a little far behind on your videos, but why did you quit dairy cows?

after you got all of that metal off of that barn you could have pulled it down with a tractor or something

copper coated

Cut that ground rod, and it'll be steel inside and copper on the outside. I won't be pure copper.

If you ever get a nother tractor get a loader tractor.

And..

Get some tannerite and blow it up at least you will get a show out of it

I just started a farming channel if you could give it a look it would be appreciated
