I remember those days well. No more manure for me - only crops. I do wish I had manure for the fields.

I don't blame you. My dad always says the manure is liquid gold for the crops

Great video Mike. My cousin ran a tire shop. Picked up a customers tractor, turning into the shop, all lights working, a motorcycle passed the line of cars that was behind thw tractor, and ran into the tractor at a high rate of speed. My cousin was fine, but unfortunately, the motorcycle rider lost his life.

I drove articulated tractor with a piece of big tillage equipment or a tank manure spreader, believe you me no one even tried bothering me… but I was in a 4020 some and I get some quick draw people… it did irritate me… had many very close calls. Had one actually going a ditch when I was moved over to let them by while I was in the combine. They wanted to sue me because they said it was my fault, keep in mind I was moved over as far as I could be it was them that had the issue.. I hope it gets better….. great video

Nice video Mike, that steep shoot must be a real pain when you have a flood. Maybe you are lucky and your cows don’t ever break water lines. Have a good day.
@mikep78104 ай бұрын
Thanks Jason. Yeah unfortunately I'm not so lucky. I went into the barn after the cold spell one morning to find a line broke and the whole barn flooded. I don't like that high pitch. I want to run it out straight and make that area into a manure pit and load it with a skid steer or loader. My dad all his life pulled the spreader under the shoot so can't get over why I would want to do it that way

Those cars passing by on the left when driving farm machinery really burns me. Grumpy Farmer was talking about it during his video last spring I remember. I don't know why some people can't be more patient.... Or lack common sense. We were fortunate this winter. We were able to spread every day. It was windy and snowy a couple of times but there was never enough snow to get hung up in.
@mikep78104 ай бұрын
I've been able to spread every day with the acceptation of a week. I figured since it was so nice out it would be nice to get caught up a little on the manure

Morning Mike glad to hear your dad is doing well. Man I hate going up and down the road with equipment anymore. Its hard to see behind you sometimes even with mirrors. If I have to move the round baler in a high traffic area I have my wife or brother follow me. People go past you blow the horn and whatever I just wave at them with the middle finger. Had a guy pull in the field one day bumpin his gumbs until I opened the cab door. I don't think he expected that. Never saw him again

Thank you Scott. Its not as bad up here as it is down by you. I know the boys got hit one time on the tractor. They gave the turning left hand signal and the girl tried telling the cop that the boys were waving her on.

Thank you Jeff. Our old forage boxes had the cross conveyor chain to unload out of the front and when we went to these H&S wagons they had the twin augers. The twin augers have been great. No need to worry about loose or broken chains. Just grease the drive end before use

I always crowd the center of the road when I need to turn left to discourage passing. You need a Kuhn Slinger spreader - discharge is on the left! THAT would stop passing! 😂 Great video, Mike! And I was hit once making a Left turn. The idiot said he thought my signal was me saying he could pass! 🙄😯

After numerous close calls on almost getting hit on the highway that runs past our farm and getting run into once which totaled the tractor and gave me a severe concussion, now if I am pulling into my farm, making a left hand turn which I signaled for, and someone still tries to pass me on the left. If they actually stop before hitting me, I am now to the point, and have done it multiple times now, where I will stop the tractor and block the road, then express my frustration to that driver before then continuing into the farm.
