    Put belting on the bottom of that scraper. Conveyor belting is good.

    Seems like livestock barns always have something that needs attention. Your post repair ought to make moving cattle a lot more efficient. I've used temporary fixes to get by, but if you're moving stock with any regularity gates tied up with twine, wire, etc. can be time wasters and dangerous to stock and people.

    Howdy Aaron, George, little brother, I hope ya'll are doing well,
    Hey Aaron, where was your eye protection while sledgehammering that concrete, your brother had the right idea, wearing eye protection, I remember doing the same thing years and years ago, I took a small fragment right in my eye, that really hurt, you only have 2 eyes, so protect them, I've been wearing eye protection ever since, sometimes I forget my gloves, but I never forget my eye protection, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

    Always a bugger replacing posts in concrete. The round half quarry tire scrapers are great, but everything wears out with use. You might want to look harder at them, might be worth the price.

    I know some gierok family. Personally them folks wrk damn hard. If u look at the farm. Its clean and very very nice farm it takes the whole crew to keep that farm that nice. Ppl. Who wants to run their fricken mouths. Off about aaron. Or any of them u need to shut ur fricken mouth up. In our area of living. We wrk very hard. Aaron wrks a full time job plus wrks in twn. So if u think u ppl could keep up. Bring it the frick on.

  • @aaronwilson4083
    @aaronwilson4083 3 месяца назад +2

    George, Looks like a tire scraper would be worth the upgrade, we use a 3pt mounted one. From what I saw in the clip of your scraper a tire would do a much better job of cleaning. A guy down the road just built one not too long ago, might make a good video if you guys decided to build one. Most of our gates have been custom built out of heavier wall pipe than the gates you can buy at Farm Stores. The Feed Store gates just don't seem to last around here, manure acids eat them up, they get banged around and dented/bent. I fixed 2 homemade ones last winter, Dad had them built sometime in the 80's they looked like they could have been sent to scrap, wasn't much left but the hinges and a top bar and side. In a couple hours with some scrap pipe I have two nice looking gates again.

    A Farmer's favorite saying!! All the job took was time and that doesn't cost anything. Now that I'm retired from farming I would pay almost anything to be able to go back in time and do it all over again!! Watching your farm videos helps me remember the good old times. Thanks 😊.

    Busting concrete with a sledgehammer and prybar , everyone needs to do that a lease once; hard work but rewarding when project is finished, gate repair is necessary when raising cattle and agree; get most out of your gates before trashing them. Your farm looks good and you guys are hard workers

    I highly recommend the tire scraper. I work on a 400 cow dairy. We bed with sand and scrape the cow barn twice a day and heifer dry cows out once a day and still get several years of use out of one.

    I loved farm work when out of school the harder the job and the hotter the weather, that suited me just fine, all the more reaon to lean in harder and make the time go by faster, there was always time to hit the milk house to get the hose and cool off with the cold water.
