Thank You!
We will clean up the floor of the silo a bit in the next video. There is no reason to pour a smooth concrete floor because we will always leave a couple inches of feed packed at the bottom of the silo. The unloader cannot be run against a concrete floor or it would be damaged. Thanks for watching!
Eric. Hands down your channel has the best content ever! I have my favorites but yours is the only one I really get excited about. God Bless you and your family.
Thankyou for the explanation
I was going to comment and ask a question about the rubble on the floor of the silo, so thanks for your explanation Eric.
Things are definitely coming together for you and your dad. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done. Eric you Sir. have the best chanel on dairy farming. Thanks for taking us along.
Some farmers use to put corn cobs on the bottom of the silo so they new when they were at the bottom
I have so much respect for the engineers working on the new silos, including Eric and his dad! Love watching this family in all seasons of working their dairy! God's People!!
Eric, You really do a great job explaining why you do things a certain way which is great because you answer our questions before we even ask. That's what makes your channel such a pleasure to watch!
The lengths people go to to feed cattle. Great video! Magnificent build!!
Those cows better produce lots of milk. 😅
With spring planting coming and all of this construction you and your Dad must be super busy. A very impressive project and looking forward to seeing it in operation. I admire your forward thinking for your farm. Also appreciate your taking the time to share your work with us, it is really appreciated. Thanks till the next video.
I was about to answer that question myself about the bottom of floor in silo. My new neighbor first time having silo’s always used bunker’s .I been letting him watch your videos . He said your set up is awesome . His farm is half what your farm is . Raising cattle and pigs to sell and milk company comes for the milk. He has a crew of 6 hard workers .
Your videos help out for my neighbor and he says to keep up the good work and thank you for the good advice on auger company.
The Yellow Jackey unloader looks SUPER! I'm impressed with the center spinner that spreads the silage out during silo fill. That was my job as my father and brother forked the alfalfa into the ensilage cutter outside. Thank you for explaining a lot about the Yellow Jacket. You all are doing a GREAT job. 🙏 🙂
Awesome to see everything coming together Eric! Please know how much we Fans dig being able to actually see the progress in action. The time and effort spent in filming AND explaining reasons why things are being done a certain way absolutely makes everything come together for a knucklehead like me! 🤣 Great that the weather for the most part has been in a good place! You really get an appreciation for those Silo Builders and the trust they have in their equipment and with each other! No doubt it can get a bit frustrating in wanting everything to go fast, but your families work ethic is perfect in slow and methodical equals solid workmanship! As always Eric, your Fans are loyal so don't sweat the videos! Be Safe MOO From COW-lumbus, Ohio👋
Ring drive unloaders, best ever. I had 2 20' Badger ring drives in the 80's for my 60' silos, so much better than ground driven!!
Hey Eric, some things to consider…have you ever seen a clean chute before. A clean chute is a hopper that sits in a feed door. The feed gets blown into the hopper and attached to the hopper is a plastic tube that runs the length of the silo to the bottom and into your conveyor. These are really nice to help keep the chute that you climb from getting dusty…
Second thing, my farming friend had a looping kit in one of his silos. These looping kits like to get caught. While he was raising his silo unloader one day, his looping kit got caught on his silo and he went to climb on the silo unloader to free it up…and the silo unloader collapsed and he fell to his death. Please under no circumstances climb on the silo unloader.
We recently put up a new top unloader silo on our farm in Ontario Canada. We have a return chord as well. But our return chord runs up the silo chute and at the top of the wall at the very top we have a stationary wheel that runs the chord over the wall to meet up with the silo unloader. This seems to work really nice for us.
Pretty exciting times, Erik. Again! Cheers to all at 10G. 🇨🇦
So glad you cleared that up thought you would have had the floor concreted to make it easier to clean out all looking good though amazing improvement
This is one heck of a project and I keep forgetting it will some day be totally automated. That shows a lot of forward vision for sure. Thanks for showing us the process.
Won't you still have to go up and change doors?That does sound fun as you get older. Still like bunker, loader trouble get a different tractor still able to feed cows.
Sweet unloader, from the way you described the function of it, the system will be a dandy. The guys doing the silo sure does a great job, it's nice to have an experienced crew doing those types of projects. Good luck with the Triticale, I hope everything goes good with it. Have a good night!
Eric, I am happy for you, things are looking great. I feel like you, want to see it in operation. Blssings
Not sure I understand all the working ways … yet. Once it is up and running, your explanations will all make sense !! Great video, thank you Eric. I really appreciate the extra time it takes to film and edit these videos when the family, farm and dairy duties are keeping you hopping.
Glad the project is coming along! Will be good to see the first silo filled! thanks for the update
That's a slick unloader system, seems well designed - the dual motor, rotating fill, cord management, and camera are very nice features.
Making great progress on the project. Very interesting to watch the unloaded being built. It’s massive!!
Everything is looking good. That will be nice when you have the whole system put together and is up and running. Great video.......................
Good, see you back with great videos . I believe this is the first one i have seen in two weeks . I was starting to miss seeing ya.
Eric, Looks interesting, can't wait to see it in operation. I am happy for you. Blessngs upon you. Claude
10thG.... one of my top favs to watch and learn. Nice job!
Amazing! Looking forward to seeing the silo's in action!
Looks and sounds like a pretty heavy duty unloader.
I love watching the progress on your silo project, they will be a great attention to the farm. As a Canadian watching your channel I couldn't help but laugh listening to how you pronounced " Canada " 😅.
Another educational video Eric. Also great quality & editing. I’m keenly watching this silo build. I’m looking forward in seeing all the components installed & when it gets operating. I have zero experience with silos. Just bales & hay stacks. My wife says you can tell as I walk with a permanent tilt. 😂 You & your dad must be excited. Thanks for taking us along.
Like the new unloader set up. Can’t beat farmer engineers . You can tell whoever designed this piece of equipment put some thought into it.
INCREDIBLE! Fascinating! Farming at its best. Good on you all.
Nice to have you back! Must be quite busy
Kool video Eric. Glad things are moving along with the silos. 🚜🚜🚜
Changing doors will give you a pretty nice workout.
As a suggestion put a railway tie (or something similar) at the point you want the feed wagon to be to load the silage
Makes life simpler even for a the few months
Very nice to see your updates. Looking forward to many more.
We have a 20x92 sollenberger silo built in 2008 for corn silage we put the wood doors in I wish we would have put the poly in we have replaced several solid piece poly ones now and really like them the issue we have with the wood doors is they break the bottom board splits off just below the support boards.
Thats cool to see! Those Yellow Jacket silo unloaders are made not to far from me!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great to see all the progress! Good video
Man i cant wait to see it all done and working
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
I was in your area Saturday a week ago, and was keeping my eyes open for a new silo! Sure enough a spotted it and drove over to your farm! I drove right past your farm 2 times that day, but didn’t see you! I saw your children playing in the sand box!
That's really creepy dude!! Don't do sh*t like that! How would you like a stranger telling you they drove by your house and saw your kids playing outside? Weirdo!!!
I been going nuts waiting on this video! Now I'll go crazy waiting for the next one. Thanks and be safe.
Great awesome video Eric , sure is changing, I like that unloaded
That’s a ValMetal unloader painted yellow instead of orange. Built in Quebec. We have the same model. I hear you that it’s built by a farmer but there must be a partnership with ValMetal Interesting. Good luck as your new project progresses. Never mind. You mentioned it’s similar to a Val metal
was worried you didnt have a new video.. so happy and thank you for the look in your life..
Things are going along nice can't wait to see it working.
great video thankyou for filming for us all i look forward every week to catch up with what is going on yeah i am nosey lol it is hard to imagine how much work you and your dad are doing aswell as looking after the cows feeding and taking on this new project that conveyer looked well heavy but will do the job just great and you 2 nailed installing it cannot wait to see more and a big thankyou for all that you do
Project is looking good.
Cant wait for the next video. Im so excited for yall.
Every time I see those silos I'm just in awe of them! WOW 😮 can't wait to see it all out together and working. Do u know how much wind they can withstand???? I live in Illinois and think about the tornados.....but I don't think u have them there do u???
Ty! 🙏❤️🇺🇲
Absolutely fascinating! Thanks for this. i enjoyed the 'normal' stuff anyway. but truely thanks for sharing the adventure. better than any soap opera or scripted/staged 'reality' show bs. House build series amazing, and barn expansion and fans really interesting.. ad infinitum. .. there isn't a single thing i dont have praise for. and i've watched them all. Thanks. :-)
so far here in Vermont,is has been a cold and wet spring
Thought you went on vacation. Glad to see progress!
Awesome progress. Great video.
To control the fly out from the chute, cut a piece of canvas and put a hole in it for the drop chute, should control
it 100%. loving the project.
Always planning and keeping busy. ❤❤❤❤
Great work gentlemen!!!!!
Will you have a window or doorway on the back side of the shed near unloader panels? Visual for winch and so on. Enjoying the project, great work sir!
Your one of the best youtubers in the world, love the content
You need all the knives on that auger and I'd let you paddles swing. It will run much smoother and start easier.
I recently discovered that.
That Moyer Farm services guy is a terribly good guy! Good to see him getting you geared up.
I’m still confused a little by the floor of the silo. Are you going to just leave old feed on the very bottom? I can’t imagine you want to start damaging stuff by hitting chunks of concrete
I was about to ask the same thing! @10th generation Dairyman can you provide some feedback?
Yeah why not smooth it out? Won’t it damage equipment?
Me too! Shouldn’t it be smooth?
Ok, I'm going to be the 4th one to ask... Maybe it's my OCD kicking in. But I would want a smooth bottom in my silo... even if not required, I would want my floor flat.
Please explain.
Thank you.
You just leave old feed in the very bottom and stop using the silo when you get close to the bottom. The unloaders only take an inch at a time so you can run them almost all the way to the bottom without issue.
Like your unloaders. Sure hope that your blower housing is stainless steel also
Your head must hurt reading some of these comments 😂 Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Great video as always Tengen
Love the progress
This is so interesting to me. I love these kinds of videos. Thanks
Pretty cool Man watching the progress!! i cant get over the similarities between the yellowjacket and the old jamesway unloaders made by starline. Same features same center rotating leveling pan only difference I see is independent drive and the color. Looks like a good machine I just preferred a two auger system vs. 1 auger. I sold Hanson which I believe val metal bought out. I love the camera idea, also is that a rissler wood conveyor? great conveyors! I sold a ton of those things back 20 years ago!! Keep the vids coming VERY COOL!!
I could watch that little bucket go up and down all day!! Samson and goliath
A couple of led shop lights zip tied to the frame would be a convenient addition too.
Awesome progress 👍🏻🇨🇦
Always interesting Eric. So I am guessing that you will not have to manually even out the top.
I'm surprised the yellow jacket unloaders dont come with a power distributor like the valmetal unloaders. Makes for less leveling once your at the top. Great explanation!
Can't wait to actually see the unloader working.
Great video guys. thank you so much
Going to need some kind of cover for that cover to keep rain water out
havnt seen a upload in 3 weeks good to see everything is going well.
really cool comeing long its really going too be nice when its all done
Looking good Eric. I know you’re busy. Typical dairy farmer😀
Thanks for buying Canadian!
I watch the whole video it was great what is going on with your operations. I wanted to post a reply and it took me off the video.
What a great operation you will have when all is installed. thanks for posting.
Thanks Eric,,,,, 👋Houston Texas
I enjoy your videos. I was at U12 girls softball game up on a hill looking down and noticed 2 hug silos that weren’t the l
Love your channel. I wish more young people had your work ethic. You are an amazing youth man! I do have one question. Why is the floor of the silo not finished in concrete? Thank you for having a great channel. Thx Dan
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed it.
Im not a fan of the way they're going to do the feeding etc etc but hey if it works for them awesome. Happy farming 😊
Got an 18k mini split coming next week to install in the house. All seems kinda trivial now.... 😊
Thanks Eric for the quick response.
I really enjoy your video’s.
Pretty cool stuff
So the floor of the silo doesn't need to be clean? Looks unfinished or its doesn't matter?
Always great video brother from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜
GOOD MORNING 🙏 GREAT WORK
Looking Awesome
Another Great Video 👍 Great content, keep up the great work!
Is there a reason why you do clean up the rock's off the ground? Wouldn't want to damage the new unloader. Great video Keep it up
Hello Eric from central upstate New York ...I'm intrigued by this whole silo process...I grew up on a 60 cow dairy farm with a couple small silos (4th generation)...robot feeder or not that is an aweful long climb to repair unloader/change doors in a dirty chute!! that was such a pain with our 50' silos that we went to bags.... but they have their downfalls too... plastic mess and real estate usage...anyway my two main questions are 1. can any blower made actually blow haylage 140+' ( because center filling is at least 10' higher on a silo that big)...and 2. With the shear weight of that concrete alone how can they keep pouring rings without the bottom pours failing without letting them cure at least a few days in between?
Hey eric.. you will love those yellow jacket unloaders, i have run 2 for several yrs. Local company with excellent service. #ontariodairyfarmer
You should make an into for your videos.. maybe an aerial sweep with a drone or something
Man , now there's three words that i thought i would never hear someone put in the same sentence , thank goodness it's yellow jacket of the non-aggressive kind and not one that dive bombs you just because it wants to do it hahahaha 🤣🤪
I'm wondering if you should remove all the hard cement debris on the floor before you start filling it?????????????
Your putting them up and I’m tearing them down
